BuddyPress.org

Buddypress is already mobile friendly as the default theme is responsive. It all depends on what you want – just a theme or extra functionality for mobile? You don’t need a mobile plugin for any WordPress or BuddyPress site to work on mobile. BuddyPress mobile is not just about working on mobile though that’s exploring mobile functionality too.

I just had a look at the ticket but was unable to comment on it, so I will post my comment here instead.

The idea of using the ?p= links is not ideal as a redirect will have to be performed for each link, also for SEO it is far better to have the correct links on the page instead of links that rely on redirect.

My suggestion for posts activity items would be: instead of storing a URL / permalink for each posts activity, why not just store the post ID? – that way you can let the wordpress native function (post_permalink) generate the permalink and no matter how many times you change the permalink settings buddypress activity will instantly link to the correct URLs.

Hi Does anybody have got any solution for this issue?

This is really an important thing, when we use the code bp_loggedin_user_avatar() for displaying thumbnail of user avatars in other sites of a wordpress network, it don’t get the correct path of thumbnail used.
For example instead of taking the path http://uniqueswebsolution.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/avatars/2/18cdaaffad36b2a391c5c48ccdc8ebc3-bpthumb.jpg
its taking
http://uniqueswebsolution.com/wp/avatars/2/18cdaaffad36b2a391c5c48ccdc8ebc3-bpthumb.jpg
So its going to the correct main site path /wp/ but intead of going to wp-content/uploads its directly use the path next to it that is avatars/2/18cdaaffad36b2a391c5c48ccdc8ebc3-bpthumb.jpg
So how can we call him to follow that missing directory path?

Thanks

So I’ve been having some troubles with a few buttons not showing up or working properly, one of them being the “Post Update” button on the Groups activity page. I figured out that the reason why some of these buttons were not showing up or working properly was from my AJAX.

Without reading too much about AJAX in WordPress, I added in header.php:

in order to get AJAX to work. This aparently was calling all of my AJAX scripts when they weren’t supposed to be called, therefore interfering with other AJAX calls.

After removing that from header.php, all of the buttons my site began working normally.

Download the template pack plugin to your desktop and then you can get the file https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

There was a plugin for BP 1.5.1 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-hashtags/ Not tested if it works for BP 1.6.1

I am very sure. I am not having a problem making the profile page a home page, My problem is making “My Profile” show up in my component directories. On my components page it says “Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory” I would like to add “My Profile” to this component directory.

Currently I have “Activity Stream = activity, Discussion Forum = Forums, Groups = Groups etc..

How can I do this, sorry my english not so good sometimes.

I’ve added a ticket to Trac to get a template function added for this: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4596

Patches welcome

Use my plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

How about this:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restrict-usernames/

It looks like something that might possibly work for your problem, and would disallow the use of spaces in the username since I believe it’s all handled on the WordPress side of things for BuddyPress anyhow concerning registrations and so forth…

If you are using the BP-Default theme you just go into your WordPress Admin panel, go to Themes, choose “Editor” and you should then be able to find what you are looking for in BuddyPress Default under;

Main Index Template
(groups/index.php)

This file should be where you can rename those few things, among others, though you really should create a child theme (https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) to add any such changes or customizations with in order to future-proof yourself so that when a new version of BuddyPress is released it doesn’t overwrite your own custom changes to the code.

Don’t forget to save the changes to the file before you proceed, and be extra careful as to what you are making any such changes to when doing so!

If you mess it up you can always pull a fresh file from another copy of BP-Default and upload it to the correct place on your server and just start over from scratch.

Good luck!

BuddyPress ships with fully customized bbPress 1.

Re BP 1.7: As Paul, a BP core dev, mentioned above it’s the customized bbPress 1 which will be phased out, the Group Forums will be kept but will be moved to the Sitewide forums (bbPress plugin). See bbPress Settings where at the bottom of the panel, there’s a section specifically for BuddyPress Group Forums https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp16-swforums-03.jpg?w=700

I’m having a similar issue. Everything worked fine until I upgraded WordPress and Buddypress day before yesterday to:
WordPress 3.4.2.
Buddypress 1.6.1

Now whenever someone posts text the whole page is displayed in the text box for a couple of seconds and then the page makes like it’s going to save, but hangs white. If you stop or refresh the page whilst it’s hanging this is displayed infront of the url http://wyciwyg://62/

I’m using the custom community theme, but have tried using the default them and it still does it. The only person that doesn’t have this problem is me when I’m logged in as admin. All other user levels have this problem though.

I did add bbpress forum after upgrading and have tried deactivating that, but that didn’t fix it. Posting in the forum works fine though.

Any ideas on how to fix this please?

Do you mean 1.6? As in BuddyPress 1.6 and BuddyPress 1.5.7? If so, then I’d check in 1.6 as things probably got fixed if a known bug. Alternatively if testing shows then same issue then please report via trac.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4155 seems to indicate it does work though.

Yes, i searched not only on wordpress.org but also on google.
I Didn’t find anything.

Many people are searching this function.

Thanks
Dimitri

To change slugs you change the page name and URL for that page in the WordPress admin. To change all instances of the word you create a language file

Languages and Translations

The ‘BuddyPress’ string is used when BP cannot find a site name from the database.

Did you name your site under the “Settings > General” screen in WordPress?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen

Are you using multisite?

This should be fixed in the latest trunk version of BuddyPress.

However, if you need to fix this for BP 1.6.1, apply this change to your 1.6.1 install:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6332

If that doesn’t work, let us know.

@bjwangschowe Yes, for BP, it is Admin and everything else. There’s of course the Group Admin/Mods which are limited to the Group Forums only.

I’ve heard of people building this for their own sites, but I’ve not seen any plugins that offer this. But I haven’t search through wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ to check — have you?

You can have 1 BuddyPress per WordPress network (a standard multisite gives you one network). You need to enable it sitewide, and set up the configuration from the root blog (the blog with ID = 1).

You do not need to enable multiblog. I wish that setting didn’t exist.
