BuddyPress.org

https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory – old style and cannot be used for multisite nor BuddyPress

@thirstcard
The do_action() creates a hook. Basically it prints out the contents of the function that is added to that tag (bp_after_message_content) with add_action.

Usage? Let’s say Developer A makes a plugin that will place some text at the bottom of message contents, Instead of the end user having to edit the theme templates to add a call to the function, the developer can use `add_action(‘bp_after_message_content’, ‘plugins_function_that_does_stuff’);` WordPress will remember that function and will print it out where it finds `do_action( ‘bp_after_message_content’ )`

Does that help?

I installed a fresh copy of WordPress Multisite and added the BuddyPress plugin and Network Activated.

On the primary site I configured BuddyPress and then clicked the “Install Group Forums” button. I still received the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” error.

If you’re trying to load members-overview.php as a separate page, take a look at this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/

If not, then use the bp-custom approach I mentioned above – you’ll need to learn it anyway.

Basically, you need to ask better questions, ie. what, where – exactly, why etc.
Use http://pastie.org/ and show your code.

@edgarestradac We have “template-packed” a number of WP themes with instructions/fixes on Step 3 of the BP compatibility process. Check if your WP theme is listed already at the bottom half of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Sure they can post on single WP. You just have to upgrade their default role from “subscriber” to at least a “contributor” (needs your approval before post is published) or an “author” (can publish right away) and they’ll post from the backend (wp-admin Post > Add New).

Or, not change their roles and use Simple Front End Post plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/

And/Or, just allow them to post in Group’s blog using this plugin http://buddydev.com/buddypress/blog-categories-for-groups-plugin/

I suggest that you also post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/u-buddypress-forum-attachment

You can start off by using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/ then proceed from there.

It’s being caused by a plugin called bp-external-activity. As the docs note, you have to open the PHP file to replace the default feed with your own: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/installation/

To clarify, un-activated user accounts will show in WordPress, but not in BuddyPress.

There are genuinely a lot of reasons why your web server may not be sending emails. The activation key is contained in this email. As a first step — and I’m sure someone will post here with a much more complicated answer soon — contact your web host and ask them if they support PHP’s mail() function; specifically, is PHP configured fully to send emails.
Most web servers can send emails, but the ‘From’ headers are not properly set, so most of the time, they don’t get delivered to the recipient properly.

If they come back and say that the From address in the email doesn’t match the name of your site (quite often this occurs in a virtual server situation), try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

If that doesn’t work, or they say you need to specify an SMTP server, try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/

Ok did a bit of testing…. things which may have caused this for me was password protecting my test website directory through cpanel. Also the folder name (with the wordpress install) was a number which may have cause this issue. I ended up installing this on a new directory with an alphabetic name rather than a number and it now works. I think it may have being the folder name which was the issue, so look at that if someone has ever had the same issue as this. I even created a whole new install with a new database in the same numeric directory and this still wasn’t working.

you need wordpress multisite for that. Some host offer the possibility to automatically install multisite with softaculous. If you hosts doesn’t do this you need to do it manually here you can find the information. https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

@mercime Yes, they are all blank because I haven’t attempted integrating them yet. I don’t know code (just basic wordpress user here) so I was afraid I would mess things up if I started messing around, especially since the karma theme wasn’t made for buddypress. I contacted an outside expert to help me but just wanted to reach out to someone who possibly used buddypress with karma to see how it worked out, if it worked well, before I pay this person and take all this time to try to make it work. (BP Version 1.5.5, Karma 2.6.9, WP Version 3.3.2)

You will need to make a function that finds the role for the displayed user.
See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User
You will want to use a BuddyPress function in the ID paramenter instead of the wordpress functions shown in that codex article (see BP codex).

Havn’t looked into it fully for what your trying to do, but you will proburbly want to filter ‘bp_core_get_username’ and echo the function we made above.

Well, it’s one of the things I am more interested in to look at adding to core. Of course, just like anyone else, I need to make the case to the rest of the team that there ought to be a Like in BuddyPress, which is why I had a bit of an experiment in my Labs plugin.

If people like the idea for core, I would suggest they think the idea of a Like button through — bearing in mind we are changing how theming will be easier in 1.7 — in terms of where the button(s) should be, what should it do, any options it might merit, how it would replace Activity’s existing Favourite button. Perhaps even think about how it could be implemented in the code, and where the likes should be stored in a database, and how other 3rd party plugins could extend the Like button (I might want to make it work with my Achievements for BuddyPress, for example).

Once you’ve got something meaty, either post it somewhere on the BuddyPress.org forums, or make an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Something like this would do what you are looking for: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

I run it on a School Board site where students and teachers self identify what school they are from in a dropdown, and that link takes you to a member directory of all of the users who selected something similar.

If the options were small enough, you could probably create a custom menu for each item that would take people to the listing for each selection using the URL format: http://domain.com/members/?s=photographer.

You could do it manually with something like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-verified/. I’m not savvy enough to suggest how something like this could be built, but you might find that this is a good starting point.

Not sure exactly what you mean here, but you might want to look at the Curator plugin here: http://wpebooks.com/curator/ to select posts from users blogs. I’m thinking you aren’t running a multisite install though, so another option would be somehow capture an RSS feed of your “favorites” and then feed them back to the blog. You would need to be very purposeful about your use of the Favorites button, but it seems that an RSS feed exists at domain.com/members/username/activity/favorites/feed (I haven’t tested this too deeply, but adding the word feed to the end of that URL opened up a listing of my favorites in a feed reader) that you could feed back into your blog with something like this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/ to create the combination. Alternatively you could use the RSS Widget to highlight favorite videos on the sidebar.

That would be at line 27 of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php which should be located at wp-content/themes/yourCurrentTheme/registration/register.php

Please post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/ which has its own feed which some follow and at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

WordPress doesn’t come with a moderator role. This makes me thing you have some other plugins running, which add a role.

Do you really mean WordPress blog Posts? Or do you mean some other type of content?
