No, I just have buddypress. And my template is smileth by myreviewplugin, so I have no idea. Is there a file using ftp that drives wordpress signup? I could just re-route it to go to my /register page…
if u want i reinstall wordpress, reinstall buddypress, but my team have resolved a bug with avatars that are not shared betwen subsites, i wan’t loose this correction, but is shure we have same problem i have done many test abouth this and is all the same results, pls help.
The newest. I figured out that for some reason, when I click “sign up”, my site redirects me to the wordpress login. How do I get it to take me to the buddy press login?! That’s all I need to fix.
@ktrojan Sorry, missed your reply.
With BBpress site-wide forums (bbpress 2.0 – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/) within the forums menu (settings/forums) you can choose to allow “anonymous posting” which will allow non-members to post in it.
But, that wont allow anonymous postings within a group, to do that is slightly harder (you’ll need to hire a developer) as it has an extra requirement of being a group member.
@gajananh999 Media uploads via Activity Updates:
1. BuddyPress Activity Plus – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/screenshots/ free
2. There’s also the premium BP Gallery plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/ which also includes uploading images, audio and/or video in status updates forms in Activity Directory, Member’s activity page, and Group’s activity page.
@gajananh999 It is possible. It’s rare to find something that’s not possible 
The real question is “how difficult?”
The BuddyBoss commercial theme has implemented a feature that attaches an upload button to the activity updates post form – SEE: http://buddyboss.com/
Theirs also afew plugins that adds photo uploading, such as BP Albums – SEE: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/ but they are independent of the activity updates post form.
@flair1 – Nice site. Just a quick mention though, the Buddybar seems to be covering the site description on some monitors. You might want to either switch to the WordPress toolbar with
`define ( ‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true );` in your bp-custom.php
or add some CSS to bump your site down by afew pixels so that it’s underneath the buddybar.
`body {
margin-top: 40px;
}`
@mercime, it loads the responsive CSS on IE7 which breaks the main navigation. testbp.org / trunk has a fix for LTR, but not for RTL yet
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3595
We’ve fixed this in the most recent commit on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3294
You could either download the 1.5 branch version of BuddyPress from SVN (https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/branches/1.5/ which *should* be stable enough to use in production, or try to make the relevant code change in your version of BuddyPress.
I am still having trouble with this:(
I have vhost working. Just playing around with the apache settings, I am able to make several working generic sites, ie. site1.dev under /rootfolder/site1/, site2.dev under /rootfolder/site2.. and so forth. Unfortunately I don’t have access to another computer to try this on, but I’m pretty sure there is just something wrong with my home setup. Like, if I actually purchased web space and put wp and bp up it would probably work fine, but I really want to be able to test everything out on my own pc first.
What other information about my installation setup do you think would be helpful? I tried using both xampp and wampserver2.2D, I prefer the latter. I used them one at a time, never installing both at once. I pretty much just downloaded the installers and left everything default, I didn’t have any prior sites I was working on before on this computer. For wampserver I had to delete the # symbol to uncomment the line ‘#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf’ but that is all I had to change. xampp does not comment that line out on a clean install. There were no problems with wordpress on either setups.
My mind is boggled!
@mrjarbenne Thanks for the links, But those are paid plugins and I am all about the open source! especially if it is for wordpress
@djpaul Hey was wondering if you might help me out with some idea concepts. I got the whole settings to work and added my own page to the nav bar, that part was easy. However I hit a topping point.
I thought it would be easier to check if an update was part of a group AND if the user is part of that group. However I am finding it difficult to check this.
I noticed that in the activity there is a item_id which if it is a group update it is the group Id … but is there any other way to check to see if the activity_update is a group other than this? What about changing the content type to activity_group_update or something… Right now I have this and it seems totally hackish and not good at all. Seems to work to check though but also is invalid for any other update other than a group one….
` global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$hide_public_groups = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, ‘hide_public_groups’ );
$hide_update = false;
if ( $hide_public_groups[0] == “yes” ) {
global $activities_template;
$group_id = $activities_template->activity->item_id;
$is_member_of_group = check_is_member_of_group( $current_user->ID, $group_id );
//echo $is_member_of_group;
if ( $is_member_of_group ) {
//this is working but is filtering out any other post
//need to check for if this is not a group post to just let it slide.
//maybe it is better to grab the groups_loop real quick and then just query for this specific group and then make sure it is public and is member….
//echo “no hide”;
//var_dump($group);
} else {
//echo “hide it”;
//$hide_update = true;
}
} `
Also just a note the check_is_member_of_group i stole from the class Bp_Groups_Member…
Any ideas anyone? I know this should be easier and I am way over thinking it.. It was late last night…
I got this error when I tried to install New BuddyPress
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_multisite() in d:hshomeomegatkdomegatao.comwordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-loader.php on line 35
Will it run on 2.9.2?
@o4tuna Re: Themes and BP – Ways to have a BuddyPress-compatible theme
1. Create a child theme of bp-default theme – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
2. Make your regular WP theme compatible with BP via BP Template Pack Plugin – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ – includes list of “Template-Packed” WP themes in latter part of the page
3. Install a WP theme with explicit BuddyPress-support e.g. Elbee Elgee – https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/elbee-elgee – this theme already includes BP template files
4. Plugin purchase – Premium themes more often require purchase of a plugin so you could use their themes with BuddyPress – e.g. Genesis, Pagelines, etc.
RE: Do the regular WP plugins still work with BP?
In general, yes. BuddyPress is also a WP plugin. There are rare conflicts with AJAX, JS, etc.
@mrjarbenne
By repo, do you mean the list of WordPress plugins?
It looks like a really cool plugin! Though what i wanted to do, is a bit more simple. I would just present the users with some different cartoon and comic figures, which they could pick from.
Our users are teenagers, and might not be so fluent in English, so if the plugin would work through doppelme, it would be a problem.
I’m not that experienced, but maybe it would be possible to replace the avatar function, with some kind of gallery function?
@nivanc Just to start off, you will need to
1. Install WordPress
2. Create a Network of your WP installation
a) subdirectory structure – http://www.domain.com/subsite1; http://www.domain.com/subsite2; http://www.domain.com/subsite3, etc.
OR
b) subdomain structure – http://subsite1.domain.com; http://subsite2.domain.com; http://subsite3.domain.com, etc.
3. Install/activate BuddyPress plugin
4. Make your BuddyPress “multisite” (separate instances of BP in one WP installation)
a. BP Multi-Network plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
OR
b. BuddyPress Multi-Network plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/
5. s2membership plugin – Free or Pro version
Then install other plugins to improve user experience in the different BP installations in WP subsites.
Thanks for the fast reply! I got xampp running and reinstalled wp and bp. I am still seeing the blank page when logging in, it works if I use the wordpress log in but if I use the log in on the side bar of the default buddypress theme I just get sent to a blank page. Is there anything else I might have setup incorrectly that would cause this?
Have you checked basic things, like is $bp->displayed_user->id set, does the user have posts published? Does the code work if you copy it into a regular WordPress template somewhere (obv. manually set $user_id)?
BP doesn’t try to do anything when WordPress regenerates its permalinks. Does disabling BuddyPress “fix” the problem?
If it matters, we’re running WordPress 3.3.1 (with the current version of BP) and the active site is at http://maclab.guhsd.net/blog/
District tech has verified permissions are set correctly. He suspects something odd is happening with the htaccess file. I’m more of a graphics guy than a coder so I’m unable to offer any insight into the issue. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
Oh, and if the test site at http://maclab.guhsd.net/blog2/ becomes visible (once the guy at the district waves his magic wand), it will look horrible as we’ve not yet applied the new template.
-Mike
Also I forgot to mention this site has 10 years worth of links running all around the site, and I understand that changing the links from Default to Numeric will still work because WordPress recognizes a link to a pageid and redirects if the permalink structure was changed, it just doesn’t work the other way around (linking a numeric link to a page with a pageid link).
Thanks for the replies. I added BuddyPress to my WordPress install on my web site (that I’m not doing anything with) and fiddled around with it a little, and got a little better foothold on it all. I’ll check out the link.
BTW. If you’d like to read more about filters – this one’s a great one. While it’s focused on themes, it’s the exact same theory
Using Filter Hooks in WordPress Child Themes
@Tfazlani – It’s possible. It would consist of using bp_core_new_nav_item();
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/functions/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/
Basically, create a screen function (what displays on the screen) and hook it into bp_core_new_nav_item;
This loop will probably help you build the screen function (splitting up profile details) – https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-profile-data-loop-bp_has_profile/
EDIT: WordPress has some helpful examples on adding admin menu’s and as BuddyPress’ new_nav_item is built in a similar way might help if you have issues – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_menu_page
@o4tuna – to follow on from @mrjarbenne‘s replies – BuddyPress doesn’t kill anything that WordPress does, WordPress by default allows you to move the blog to a sub-page (as done on this site) or on your homepage (testbp.org) BuddyPress doesn’t touch it. The only real time that BuddyPress touches functionality of WordPress is for small fixes when conflicts arise (for example, theirs code which ensures that the activity stream functions correctly on the homepage – as it was having issues at one point) or to enhance the features to provide an amazing experience.
I should also mention as a sidenote that I run a Buddypress/Wordpress Multisite install for 7000 users on IIS7 without issue.
