BuddyPress.org

What @boonebgorges said.

BuddyPress’s URI router came from a much older codebase, in a time where BuddyPress was intended to be bolted on top of a WordPress Multisite installation similar to WordPress.com, and not much else. Once that was achieved, we quickly saw the potential in it being something much more powerful (to a larger audience) by quickly iterating away from that original goal, making it work on single-site WordPress, and refactoring the individual components to be less dependent on each other, and only dependent on a core set of common functionality — part of which was the URI router.

We’ve recently chopped two large pieces out of BuddyPress core and turned them into separate components: Settings and Notifications; and we’ve taken huge strides and helped simplify the getting-started process with making it theme agnostic. Bigger ideas like attachments, permissions, and deeper WordPress integration (both in wp-admin, and it’s API’s) is something we continue to improve with every release. Rewrite rules just so happens to touch every component, every file, and every page request, so it’s a refactor that is going to take several months of architecting before it’s complete (similar to theme compatibility.)

Basically… we’ll get there, and there is a plan. It’s been said that before creating David, Michelangelo stared at a block of marble for 8 hours a day, for 4 months, before making his first chip into it. Not trying to compare ourselves to prolific artists or anything, but the idea is the same in that we’re all staring at a huge codebase and coming up with our own map of how to approach the problem.

Hi,
I am running buddypress plugin on wordpress 3.8.1 and using Windows hosting for http://haflongbosconians.org/ . While the front pages are working fine, the buddypress pages are showing a 404 error.
I found this solution for APACHE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9zESEfNzSQ . What can I do for Windows hosting?
Appreciate your help.
Regards.

I would totally not recommend to disable it. You should spend more time to figure the problem out. In my BuddyPress test installations (local and live), it sends the emails just fine, so there is a problem, maybe in your server, template, I don’t know, somewhere.

But, if you really wanna disable this, after a quick search here and in Google, I found some possible solutions.

Obs.: I haven’t tested it, so use it at your own risk.

Great Scott!

These time issues crop up every blue moon, so any insight you can provide into the following time settings would be awesome:

• Your physical timezone
• The timezone setting of your server(s)
• The timezone setting of your PHP configuration
• The timezone setting of your WordPress installation

Seems somewhere down the line, there’s a problem with our calculations in a certain configuration. It could be the math, could be daylight savings time, could be a WordPress bug, a BuddyPress bug, or a rip in the space-time continuum!

It’s probably the server that your WordPress is running on which is causing this problem. The time on the server is probably 2 hours ahead. Just a guess though.

Ok
After allot more research I found a solution. looks like I was putting your code in the wrong spot sure it would have worked as well @Barney

I used this code

<?php
   
  $state = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=State' ) ;
echo '<p class="profile-fields">State: ' .$state. '</p>';
?>

This displays my custom field state that i added via users > profile feeds in backend of wordpress

I put this code under

<span class="activity"><?php bp_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?></span>

this is all in the members_header.php in the bp_legacy section

This is not directly a BP support question.
If your goal is to stick a search result from the profiles with BP Profile Search Plugin, i guess you have to ask the author of the plugin.

hi @saiallexander,

have you tried this plugin ?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-featured-members/

@lerroy @shpitzyl,

FYI, this function will show user_login instead of member_name on the members directory.
Add it to the theme’s functions.php

/* Display Username in Directory */
function my_member_username() {
    global $members_template;
	
    return $members_template->member->user_login;
}
add_filter('bp_member_name','my_member_username');

Tested on WordPress 3.8.1 – BuddyPress 1.9.2

If someone would be kind enough to detail precisely how to duplicate the bug you’re experiencing in a new ticket over at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, I’ll be happy to look into this further.

We’ve made great strides on the bbPress/forums integration in the past few years. If there are still lingering wrinkles, we’ll get them ironed out.

sorry i read the title of you post too quickly htaccess shouldn’t need anything special for buddypress the standard wordpress compatible htaccess is fine. group based forums are depreciated so i wouldn’t expect that work anymore anyway.

@rudik123 What do you mean by using with BuddyPress? The Ads Manager plugin work with WordPress. To include the file in some BP pages, I think you’d have to alter some templates files.

Use wanguard.. It has stopped all spam registrations for me 100%
