BuddyPress.org

It would appear that BuddyPress overrides the send from address to wordpress@yourdomain.com which you may not have setup as a email on your host.

But yes the Mail From plugin allows you to change it to an address that you have on your host.

you can go back the the wordpress toolbar by adding
define( ‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true ) to your bp-custom.php file – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

The buddybar is being depreciated, so it’s no longer worth messing around with it to get it perfect (and the wordpress toolbar is alot cooler lookin’)

@illusionApp – what exactly isn’t working? is the sidebar not aligned correctly? or…?

We have some codex entries that might also help – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

Is this for a WordPress blog comment or a BuddyPress activity comment / group comment / status update / anything BuddyPress?

If WordPress query the codex for params https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_avatar

`<?php
echo get_avatar
(
‘user-id-which-you-can-find-in-users-table-or-user-email’,
‘size-in-numeric-form’,
‘path-to-avatar-if-none-supplied-will-use-mystery-man,
‘alt-text-for-image-goes-between’
);
?>`

If it’s BuddyPress and you are using outside a loop then there are also parameters you can pass. However documentation here is a little sparser than the WordPress Codex.

Hey @Marcella, 10 bucks is awesome! I can drink to BuddyPress and the possibilities it represents

Thanks!

My working setup for a site-wide forum is:
Disable the BuddyPress Forum component altogether (BuddyPress>Components)
Install the bbPress plugin for WordPress.
Don’t create a “Forum” page within WordPress. If one exists, I got odd behavior, even if it was in Draft status. (Definitely don’t make a Forums page and add the bbPress shortcode.)
Enable bbPress plugin.
Create a new forum via the admin menu Forums > New Forum.
Go to the dashboard menu Settings > Permalinks and Save. (This flushes your permalinks.)

Now, when you go to your bbPress default slug, it should take over and build the page. If you have other forum-related weirdness, like “Please pick the group forum where you would like to post this topic” or “Can’t create topic”, check for the existence of bbconfig.php at the root of your web space. If it exists, open it and make sure that it has the correct database info entered in it. (The host, user and password should probably match what is entered in wp-config.php.)

Are they in a spam or junk folder?

Have you tried installing https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ then use it to send a debug email? It can show where an email gets stuck and error codes that can be googled….

That sounds like a good idea for an enhancement. Can you add a ticket onto our trac at http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org? Thanks.

Putting forums aside, do only member pages not work? Does everything else work? e.g. WordPress post permalinks, WordPress pages, BuddyPress groups.

@FuriousCigars “I doubt anyone here is really worried about my one site” I’m worried. Not about you deactivating buddypress, that’s your problem… but i am worried about your site

Firstly, have you read through the codex? https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/navigation-links-return-404-errors/

Secondly, are you running any other WordPress plugins? Their usually the common cause of 404 errors (in my experience). If you can, deactivate them all (except for buddypress) and see if the problem gets resolved. if it is resolved start reactivating them all one by one to find the culprit.

@Haraldo88

1. Yes, you get that out of the box.
2. There are a couple ways to make this happen. One is a plugin called BP Album (or BP Media): http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/ Another is a simple forum attachment plugin, which is a bit outdated and not easy to set up on all systems, but might be worth a look: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/
3. BP Media is your best bet for that.

Good luck with BuddyPress!

For that one, suggest you look at the code and if it could be done filtered onto WordPress’ function. Raise a ticket if you think we’ve overlooked something, we may well have

Anytime, so – you can either enter what you want them to see between thoes lines, or; if you really want to redirect them you can use the bp_core_signup_user action

Source: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/18301/redirect-after-registration-in-buddypress (untested)

hahaa! It could as well be.Let me see if splitting up the message sort it out:

First part:
It’s my understanding that the problem is arising from the form submitting to /activity/reply/ which isn’t recognized by WordPress and therefore causing the 404. Here’s some code to address that. The idea is to have WordPress accept /reply/ as a valid destination by getting BuddyPress to pick it up as an action.

Obviously, the best thing is to set up a test site with BuddyPress and see if it does what you want. I’d suggest using private groups (one per client / project). For document sharing within that group, see https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/

Does your media gallery allow you to upload things? Since BuddyPress uses the core WordPress APIs to handle the upload, it shouldn’t be the only thing broken (unless wp-admin is whitelisted or something.)

Authors Widget 2.0.2 http://blog.fleischer.hu/wordpress/authors/ (provides a simple list or tag cloud to all posts by author) does not work with BP installed.

The ‘theme my login’ plugin ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-my-login/ )
Has a ‘redirect after login’ module, you could create a new role on your site, calling it something like “auto-activated members” with the same capabilities as your default role and then use that plugin to redirect users in that role to a different page?

Their’s this for standalone bbpress forums – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-quotes/

and theirs this for groups forums – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/
