I know this thread is old, but I want to help those that are in the same boat as I am in while searching for this issue on Google, I hope it is also pertinent to this thread fully as I believe these issues are linked together.
I was having an issue with this too, where the activity streams on the home page were showing times that are 7 hours off because of GMT time being 7 hours off from me.
This problem can easily be fixed by setting your WordPress’s main timezone settings to something like -8 instead of the city name ie; Los Angeles.
But I could not go this route because I’m currently using Ajax Event Calendar plugin, which requires the timezone to be a city name for some weird reason. Thus I had two plugins that wanted two conflicting things.
This is the fix I came up with that seems to work just fine for me : )
In buddypress: \bp-core\bp-core-functions.php
Find: function bp_core_time_since
Change: $newer_date = ( !$newer_date ) ? strtotime( bp_core_current_time() ) : $newer_date;
so that bp_core_current_time() becomes bp_core_current_time(false)
This passes over to the bp_core_current_time() which defaults as true which sets it to automatically handle the activity time differences as GMT instead of your time zone.
I’m not a WordPress pro but it looked like you could just hook into this function if you wanted to or override it, but this was the route I knew how to take.
Hello,
For a couple of weeks I work with this great plugin Buddypress, but I want to change some things or looking for some options but I cant find where. I hope someone can help me out.
1. Registration page
At our registration page, I wan`t a simple option agree or disagree.
If I make that option in the profile on (basic) it is visible on the registration page but also when you edit you own profile. So how can I hide it on the profile page?
2. Profile
– Is it possible for me as a admin or moderator to edit an other profile, because I can`t find that option. If I look it up in the admin the “custom” field are not visible, I see the basic fields from WordPress profile.
– Some fields you have to enter in the registration page but later not in your profile. For example every user gets an code by email they have the enter that code after that only we admins and mods can edit that code.
3. Groups
On the group page I want to make an custom group page. That worked, but now I want on the right side an widget where you can search for a specific group even for this I searched but now right plugin š
I know I ask allot but if someone can help me out with these things I much appreciate it.
Friendly regards,
Michael
As a result of that group forum tab was vanished.
@chathuranga Not seeing this issue. Is this a new WP/BP installation or are your group forums created in BP version earlier than 1.6? What other plugins do you have installed?
Iām using buddypress.1.8.1, bbPress 2.3.2, wordpress-3.5.2 and buddypress default theme.
have you upgraded to WP 3.6 yet?
I appreciate your help, thank you!
I just switched to the 2011 theme (or should I use 2012?). Well, no difference. Then I disabled all plugins except buddy press. Still no luck. Then I double-checked the users. Played again with roles (site and forum), but it doesn’t even work when I make my user administrator. Both users are exactly the same (for what I can see) and still the one I created within the Dashboard can be added to a group and the other one not. Same setup on a different domain works flawlessly… š
Any other clues that you can think of? The only thing I didn’t do yet (because I am afraid off possible compatibility problems…) is upgrading my wordpress to 3.6. I did say that I have all the latest versions (in fact I just installed everything new a few weeks ago), but that update 3.6 must have been released very recently while I was on Holiday. Still the other setup has the same WordPress version, so it should work without…
Thanks again!
Hi, hope there will be somebody who can help me because i really cannot find what’s wrong.
For some reason the only users that I can add to a group are users I created myself within the backend/dashboard of WordPress. But in case a user is created within the front end (using WooCommerce webshop) this user cannot be added to a group. What is the difference between these two users? At first I thought there was something wrong with WooCommerce, but I tested it on my test version of wordpress (different domain/installation, but same versions/set-up) and then there is no problem at all. Both users can be added to a group there, so it should work. So something else must be wrong, but what???
I am using all the latest versions, since I just started to build this website (still under construction mode) so all installations are new. It did’t help to delete and reinstall Buddypress and BBpress.
What to do now? Thank you for your help!!!
Regards,
Geert
Hi,
I would like to be able to assign users to a group instead of having to send them to the Group page to request to be added. Is there a way to do that? I am on the most recent versions of WordPress, 3.6, Buddypress (don’t know) and bbpress. Installed yesterday. I am using a custom theme, but that seems to be working.
Thanks
Diane
My permalink structure is /%category%/%postname%/ – when I enable Forums in BP Groups any new post or attempt to view a forumfrom within a group causes a redirect loop.
If I change the permalink to something else this issue goes away. Does anyone know how to fix it without changing my permalink structure?
Wordpress 3.6
buddypress 1.81
bbpress 2.3.2
Hello Everyone,
I am new to WordPress and BuddyPress, I have installed both to hosted site in New Zealand (both the newest versions) I am stuck on get BuddyPress to work as a Social Network service. If someone could assist me in loading BuddyPress properly I can provide the admin information to login.
Thanks
Matthew
Hey Hugo,
yeah – my english isn’t the best one. So step by step.
You’re right I mean the crated pages like ‘activity’, ‘members’ etc. I have two different page-tempaltes. The standard-template also known as page.php and and wide-page.php. WordPress suppots switching the themes for each crated Site and all BP connected Pages got wide-page.php but still loading page.php
For the second thing: as provided since BP 1.7 there is no need for a theme migration – so buddypress loads the default theme “bp-legacy”. Also on twentytwelve the problem with the loader.gif exists.
And yes, I didn’t posted a link because we saved the site with a htaccess at the moment.
i would say yes although some of the functionality may need to be extended depending on the exact nature of these classes. here’s some additional buddypress stuff that may interest you:

Hi
I need some specific but simple features on a new site. Can you tell me, if I should use my energy on setting up BuddyPress? Will it fit these needs:
- On the site, users must be able to sign up as a member.
When logged in:
- Members must be able to sign up for one or more classes.
- Admins must be able to administrate (add/edit) these classes and the attendees.
- A very important feature: Admins can send out e-mails to all attendees to a specific class. (If possible, the admin can choose a class and/or a specific person to send the e-mail to).
Every season the same classes will run once more (maybe with one extra or one less class). So admins should preferably be able to clear all attendees from classes when the season ends in some easy way; or the class should be disabled until next seasons sign-up starts.
Don’t worry about payment methods. No credit card / paypal or anything is needed on this site.
Preferably all this will happen front-end. If not possible, then admins can go back-end in the wordpress-admin-panel, but this is not the best practice.
(One extra nice feature would be to differ between admins and teachers. My idea was to make them all admins, but actually teachers only need the ability to send out e-mails. They shouldn’t have access to user and class administration. If not possible, then this is low priority)
I have read many good thinks about BuddyPress, but I have also already used a lot of time on wordpress plugins. I will change to BuddyPress, if someone can tell me, that the above is possible.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
I have one site with the problem of missing avatars that first emerged when upgrading from BuddyPress 1.6.x to 1.7.x
I tried migrating the content to a different installation of WordPress and BuddyPress latest versions (3.6 and 1.8.1) and I still have the problem.
I tried turning off all my other plugins other than BuddyPress and I still have the problem.
Have you checked the Codex Documentation ? I suggest you read the guides on theme templates as these will help your understanding and allow you to ask more detailed questions that we can help with.
I created the the buddypress-pages on full width and also changed the template-page in WordPress, but Buddypress is still using the standard-template. Someone knows the Problem?
I assume you mean the pages created in the setup routine for BP such as ‘activity’, ‘members’ etc these are placeholders only you can not do anything in them except set the page title.
‘<i>changed the template-page in WordPress</i>’
You need to be clearer on what you mean here!
‘<i>standard template</i>’
Again not sure to what you are referring here, BP in theme compatibility mode uses page.php, unless you provide other named templates but this is all explained in the template compatibility themeing guides written for users to help them out with just this sort of issue.
As for the loader gif it’s impossible to say, you haven’t told us the theme in use, linked to the site, or shown any code to work from thus it’s a complete guess as to what may be happening.
As always if there are issues first test is activate known good theme such as twentytwelve and see if things work in that theme then you know it’s a theme issue.
Hey guys,
first: I use buddypress 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.6. So I got two Problems. I created the the buddypress-pages on full width and also changed the template-page in WordPress, but Buddypress is still using the standard-template. Someone knows the Problem?
The second problem is, that the little loader.gif is not showing when clicking a change button. Can someone help here?
We’ve used WP FB Autoconnect on a lot of BuddyPress sites – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/
There’s a functional free version, and just a few dollars extra for the pro version
I use WordPress Social Login successfully for my BuddyPress site – free from the repo
It turned out to be an issue with my theme and not Buddypress. Even though the latest version of WordPress 3.6 is theme compatible, the Buddypress to Suffusion theme still required the Suffusion Buddypress Pack plugin and a child theme to make it work.
All fixed here.
@benjancewicz
There are no ‘future events’ in buddypress itself so it would need a plugin or custom programming…..
https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/ supports buddypress but I haven’t used them together!
I am having the same problem. I am using Suffusion theme with the latest Buddypress 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.6. Specifically Widget Logic no longer works with Buddypress. When I uninstall Buddypress it works fine but when I reinstall the latest Buddypress the Widget logic no longer works.
I am ok to switch to a different plugin to control widget display if someone has tested one that works with the latest Buddypress.
Thanks for the help Roger,
1. The NOTICE [1024] error was caused by this plugin https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-wall
2. Yes the link solved my wp-cache problem
Thanks, @danpb. It looks like that worked, although the feed is not detecting an image. We are using RSS Multi-Importer to pull in feeds for this page: http://www.tafaforum.com/tafamemberblogs
I added the feed as you suggested and it pulled our last post (Selling on Etsy), but no image. When I registered the blog using http://www.tafaforum.com/blog/, it pulled all of the activity stream into this page.
I checked the jetpack version that is connected to my WordPress.com reader and it’s pulling everything over there. Does that mean that when people sign up for the blog, they are getting the Activity Stream posts, too?
I was able to register your forum version on Networked Blogs and it looks like it is just pulling the post (with an image): https://www.facebook.com/TAFAList So, that’s great.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have two questions that are related.
Are there any free plugins that allow you to upload images and video from your phone?
I have tried rtMedia to no avail.
We also have tried Activty Plus, with success when uploading pictured, but we are not allowed to upload video from a phone.
Without further ado
1. Is there a plugin that allows you to upload a video from your phone into activity?
2. Is there a plugin that allows you to upload a file (doc, pdf…) into activity?
Any answer is much appreciated
Sounds like you are using an old / outdated plugin with a recent version of BuddyPress.
Looks like called wp-cache might be the problem — see if this link helps you https://wordpress.org/support/topic/advanced-cachephp-problems-on-upgrade
