BuddyPress.org

@michaelecklund BuddyPress is built with the intentions of scaling into millions of users, something individual WordPress sites were not originally intended to handle. Shoving everything into a WordPress post type/taxonomy is not the answer, and does not solve any immediate problems.

Square pegs, round holes, and all that.

Thanks for the feedback.

Do make sure that your multisite is working as expected before installing BuddyPress. For Mutlsite/Network issues, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Along with custom code, make use of plugins that already exist.
i.e. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/rating-widget/
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-links/
Also look at prem. themes

I like this idea too, currently looking in here for ideas.

@clemensrettich What raminjan said. Also, check out the BuddyPress Codex pages for documentation like https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/ Then you could also add special BP menus using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

I would never accept a plugin that has not been inspected from the WordPress repo. I can program a dog gone php key logger and unsuspecting people would be transferring all their info server side to me and they would not even realize what the hell happened. I would not do this, but you should be aware that it can be done. WordPress inspects plugins and anytime you use something provided by a third party you risk getting hacked and bitch slapped. Its just an all round bad idea! My point is you do not know what code may have been added to this plugin to make it malicious. If you knew how to code then you would not be here asking for plugins. You would be making your own instead so it is a safe assumption that you do not know how to read php scripts or know any programming. I would never take a plugin from a person you do not know or trust.

There was a plugin at one time that resolved this issue but the developer removed it from the repo. From what I hear it is now a plugin you have to pay for. There is no one here that can help you on this issue. So if you want this feature then I suppose you will have to pay for it now. The web address I knew that this plugin existed was from some guy named shawn38 so get in touch with him but it may be hard to find now I think it was http://www.ezwebdesign.wordpress.com but I am not certain either.

We are aware of the issue. Read on for more info https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4571

Use WordPress a page template and hard code a BuddyPress group loop in the page template. Create a WordPress page in the admin. You do the same thing when you created those pages when you install BuddyPress. BuddyPress just overrides the page that gets loaded with it’s own template which is why you don’t have to create the page template yourself.

simple, just go to your dashboard with wordpress and go to menu section then deselect the tabs you don’t need from the menu you have. or if you don’t have any menus you can create your custom menu from there. if you have any future questions let me know at: raminrahim@hotmail.com I am intermediate with wp/bp. we all help each other in this forum.

I think I may have found a solution to the multi-network problem that is pretty simple. It is to make multiple WP+BP installations but to use this trick,

https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Custom_User_and_Usermeta_Tables
http://codegarage.com/blog/2009/04/using-a-custom-user-table-share-users-between-two-wordpress-installs/
http://xentek.net/articles/528/implementing-the-wordpress-shared-users-table-trick/

to share users. So you will have N installations but all using the same user database. Has anybody every tried this for BP?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews/ – copies plugin groups here but not sure whether it’s working for current BP version

Also, check out https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/how-to-edit-group-meta-tutorial/ and https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/groups_get_groupmeta/

Plugin using WP’s native custom menus https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

Saw this posted https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oa-social-login/

@raminjan Activity Plus plugin is be WPMUdev https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/ so you might want to contact them. Otherwise you can post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/forum/ or at http://jobs.wordpress.net

@transmission there are alternatives
– free BuddyPress Media https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/ – not tried this, don’t know if it uploads media from status update page
– free beta BP Media http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/
– premium BP Gallery http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/

Hi Shane,
by secondary blog I mean a sub blog that you create using the wordpress multisite.

You don’t need to install multiple wordpress. Just install wordpress Multisite.
here are more details on enabling WordPress multisite.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Yes, there are many plugins to do so but I personally prefer Social login, sharing and commenting plugin loginradius-for-wordpress. This works like a charm and with all the features of social login, sharing and commenting along with user profile data available in one. I recommend it to all and also a thumbs up to their excellent support too

Hi,
I think that this link will help you. Have a look at this http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/
