BuddyPress.org

I’m with you mrwolfy, I see the search functionality that comes in the header area with bp-default will work – though I would like to be able to modify it – but if you use the wordpress search widget, or the search box that shows up when something isn’t found, I get pushed back to the activity page (home page for me). The same happens on this site if you use the search box at the top – you’ll get thrown back to the home page.

I found a plugin at http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget/ but it wouldn’t list posts for me. It seems to list everything but. Any advice anyone?

BuddyPress doesn’t do anything with user authentication. Get it working with WordPress, and it’ll work with BuddyPress. For further advice, it’s probably worth searching the WordPress.org forums as I imagine this sort of topic has come up in the past.

Not easily* possible without changes to core. We’ve an enhancement ticket for sticky groups: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2242

@r-a-y said his plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/ would eventually offer this as an option.

Re: Cropping Avatars

Change to bp-default theme and check if you can crop there. If you can, well and good. If not, check out some trouble-shooting tips https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration

Re: Theme Compatibility

First thing’s first. Before making any WP theme (downloaded outside of WP theme repository) compatible with BuddyPress, make sure that it is secure. Download the Theme Check Plugin and see if there are warnings or required generated when you run the theme check. WP Theme Repo for example only accepts themes which do not contain warnings and required items.

I have just downloaded a copy of gamespeed per your link above and there are obfuscated code within 2 files I checked out so far – at the bottom of the theme’s functions.php file and all of footer.php file. Because of that, I can’t help you since I need all the HTML information in footer.php among other theme files for the BP Compatibility Process.

@snowlas You’re welcome and Congratulations. Glad you resolved layout to your satisfaction

This is not a BuddyPress issue. The Secure Invites plugin as seen at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/ has not been updated since March 2011.

Either contact the plugin dev if he’s still going to update the plugin or find an alternative. Check out e.g. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/

Something is wrong. Let’s start with:

– WP/BP versions?

– Single WP or WP Multisite?

– Did you go through the installation wizard after you activated BuddyPress? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/

– Did you install/activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

– URI to the page you were referring to where it just showed list of titles.

@ki450751 I see you’ve installed BP Template Pack and have gone through the BP Compatibility process. Click on the Finish button and let’s proceed to the nitty gritty.

For the WP Creativix theme as seen here https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/wp-creativix

A. Copy the theme’s header.php and save as header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php, at the very bottom of the file below other code, add this:
`

Check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

Sorry, but that is beyond the scope of the assistance I already provided here. Know that most of us who assist here are volunteers. If you are not able to make the basic template changes, you need to find someone or hire someone to do this for you e.g. at http://jobs.wordpress.net and refer them to this post.

Save files. Upload the 6 BP folders with the revised template files to your server wp-content/themes/ray-of-light/

If there are any issues, point your theme developer to this topic. I’m sure they can identify faster any missing or superfluous divs around in the post.

At the bottom of all template files replace:
`

`

with the following for all template files except /registration/register.php:

`

`

with the following for /registration/register.php file:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();

jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Based on the HTML structure of the Ray of Light theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP Template folders transferred to your ray of light theme folder when you ran Appearance > BP Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Download those 6 BP folders to your computer hard drive.

At the top of all the 16 template files per link I gave above, replace:
`

This is more of a general question rather than a BuddyPress or a WordPress question. I would not worry about 200k. Obviously, the quicker the better. Load some of your favourite sites into http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ and see what you find

I needed to restrict which user could “Create a Group” in my WordPress 3.3.1 and BuddyPress 1.5.3.1 installation. I was able to do this easily by using these 3 plugins:

BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/)

s2Member (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/)

User Role Editor (http://www.shinephp.com/user-role-editor-wordpress-plugin/)

For example, I wanted to allow only an “s2Member Level 4” member to have the ability to create new Groups. I did the following:
1. Added user capability “publish_posts” as a new rule to the Restrict Group Creation settings.
2. Selected the role “s2Member Level 4” and added the “publish_posts” capability in the User Role Editor settings.

Thereafter, the “Create a Group” button only showed up for members who were s2Member Level 4. The button also showed up for Authors, Editors, and Administrators…but that could easily be controlled by changing the rule in Restrict Group Creation.
