BuddyPress.org

Hello all:

I am new to buddy press, word press, etc and I am not a programmer so be gentle and very detailed if you would, please.

I have a membership site powered by s2memberPro, wordpress 3.8 and Whatever the latest Buddy Press is and the template is Parabola (latest version as well)
http://www.leathertowne.com

The buddy press area is locked down via S2memberpro. So if you would like access to the buddy press please let me know and I’ll set you up as a temporary “paying member”

Ok, here’s the problem: I assume that buddy press is supposed to show a listing of all members, active or online members, or at least a way to browse members and add them as friends.

1. No list of members except those who are currently online.
2. No way to browse members
3. No ADD FRIEND button.

I know that the “add friend button” is available because I found it once but have since changed to parabola theme and now it is missing.

I would very much appreciate any help or suggestions you can provide.

Hello,

My current WP configuration
– Version of WordPress 3.7.1
– Version of PHP / MySQL 5.4
– Theme used: personal
– Extensions in place: S2Members
– Host Name: Dedicated Server
– Site address:

I have a question about the SMEMBER plugin.
So I created 3 different level, the level 1, 2 and 3
If I am user A and I’m on the user profile B, I want to see the profile of its B level.
With this teaser code:

[constant s2Get = “S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LABEL” /]
I only see my level (user A), but I can not find how to view the member to whom belong the profile (user B) ..

Someone would have an idea? thank you in advance and happy new year

Holla guys!

I apologize in advance if this question was asked before…

So heres the deal, on my buddypress site I have some pdf files and i want to add an option so that a user can check the one which he/she has read.
and then when he goes to his profile, he can also see what he has read…

Please let me know if theres a plugin which does this? a plugin which can be modified to do this? or if i need to customize myself, where should i start?

Also, i wish to add a drop down menu in the create a new topic as is in the buddypress.org forum. help me with that too!
I have the latest version of buddypress and wordpress.

This was my first post, looking forward to a start in a wonderful community!

Using WordPress 3.8 and BuddyPress 1.9

After upgrade to BP 1.9, the message usernames auto-complete functionality stop working properly.

In my install I allow Arabic characters in usernames using sanitize_user filter, and allowing BP username compatibility mode:

add_filter('bp_is_username_compatibility_mode', '__return_true');

The problem is when start typing a name in Arabic, the menu will show the encoded username, something like this:

(%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B1)

while in previous version is showed the name correctly, like:

(سامر)

and when clicking on the name it will not choose it as before, instead I get error in console (firebug console):

Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #un-%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B1

I am using child theme of bp-default theme, and the problem caused by line 986 on bp-default/_inc/ajax.php where urlencode is applied to usernames

$username = urlencode( $ud->user_login );

I think this will apply to all non-English (and non-Latin?) characters if allowed in WP usernames.
I am aware I can fix that in my case by overriding bp_dtheme_setup() function and include my own copy of ajax.php file which will not apply urlencode to usernames, but I really don’t want to do that and wish to continue using parent ajax.php.

Thanks.

I use Buddypress and Bbpress on a website that I run. I love WordPress and I really like how these plugins allow me to run a community site within a framework I am used to. Thanks guys!

I do have a problem though. I have really struggled to find a suitable host for the site as it uses a huge amount of resources compared to a simpler WordPress site. I have found that WP Engine works really well but even there the site does sometimes run out of memory and timeout. They have great support staff who have helped me to work out most of the problems. When I asked them what my single biggest problem was they replied that it was this query:

SELECT DISTINCT u.user_id as id
FROM wp_usermeta u
WHERE u.meta_key = 'last_activity'
ORDER BY u.meta_value DESC
LIMIT 0, 5 /* From [example.com/activity/] in [~/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-classes.php:434] */

They have suggested that I either remove that functionality, fix the slow query or move to their dedicated service which has more resources to cope.

Why do I really need this widget?
My site gets an update every 5-10 minutes but I believe that it still makes the site feel more active if there are the names and avatars of active users in the sidebar. When I disable it my site gets less posts.

How big is my site?
I don’t think it is that big, it has 3,700 registered users and 150,000 pageviews per month (according to Google Analytics).

What am I asking for?
This issue has been raised in the past but didn’t get any traction. It is really important to me that this widget become more efficient but I don’t feel I want to just have this as a feature request for two reasons.

1, BuddyPress is free, I can’t expect the developers to work on the whim of a single user (am I the only one?)

2, If I am forced to upgrade my hosting it will cost me hundreds of dollars a month. In other words I would be happy to sponsor this feature for a modest amount (maybe others can help)

Can anyone suggest how I move this forward? I have posted things like this before on jobs.wordpress.net but I am not sure if there are any BuddyPress skilled developers on there. How do I know who to pick? How will I know if they have done a good job until I have implemented the fix?

Can anyone help me to work out exactly what I need here and how to get it started?

Is there anyone else who needs this fix and wants to help me sponsor it?

I have a buddypress sidebar login form on my homepage. When I login via the sidebar form it redirects me correctly to the users member page.

However when I return to the index page of my site wordpress is not detecting that I am logged in. Every other page detects that I am logged in correctly.

I have tried reverting back to the default wordpress theme and the same thing occurred so its not anything to do with the theme. I added a wordpress function to detect if I am logged in and every time I visit the index page it says I am not logged in. Weird part are there are no issues with any other page.

Has anyone else run into this issue before? Any one have any ideas on what might be causing this issue?

So when you are logged in to your buddypress account and leave a comment on a normal wordpress post on the main page of site.

” hey @username check out this post”

I want the username that has been tagged to get a notification of this. Is there a plugin to do this or a script to achieve this?
