BuddyPress.org

How dare they!

I have tried everything A to Z to stop spam registration. They all work for a while, but as the site grows it is overwhelmed. I think David100351 is correct people fill out the registration and hand it to bot drones. If anyone has successfully got this under control for a big site let me know as it makes it more work than it is worth.
WordPress is brilliant with anti-spam but have not had the same results with Buddypress. I am thankful for all the work people have done with BuddyPress and know they will say it is an MU problem, but I just want to use BuddyPress without spending so much time fighting spam. Anyone else tried wangguard?

You may also want to look into a plugin that will allow you to use the same e-mail address all accounts, unless you really want to create either 1). 300 E-Mail Accounts or 2). 300 Forwards.

You can check the plugin below out. It should suite your needs.

Install BuddyPress first.

Activate your Evolve theme.

Install and activate BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP Evolve theme compatible with BuddyPress.

Go through the BP Compatibility Process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Before installating BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

Thanks @mercime that worked perfectly! I’m sure others have the same issue.

[php]
function something( $field_id, $value ) {
//…
}
add_action( ‘xprofile_profile_field_data_updated’, ‘something’, 1, 2 );
[/php]

see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action

The same question I have. Placing a link “user profile” to a custom menu so the logged in user can access his profile directly.

I heard that with the new release of wordpress and buddypress it should be possible but couldn’t find out how yet.

Any idea?

Installing WordPress is not to difficult. Google your host name and how to install WordPress and you should find a tutorial.

Somebody posted a topic a few days ago with a problem and the reason they had a problem was they used the host installer for WordPress. What Paul is saying is that it may be ok but in my experience I’ve had issues.

You may not have any issues, each web host is different.

Before upgrading WP/BP, there’s a message to back up database. If you have a back up of that database, you can re-install WP/BP and import database
WP 3.2.1 – https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
BP 1.5.1 – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1

`function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111214’;
// Register our main stylesheet
wp_register_style( ‘mytheme-style’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue the main stylesheet
wp_enqueue_style( ‘mytheme-style’ );
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );`

Will be updating BP codex re child themes for WP 3.3 and BP 1.5.2

Ok, so I think I am still experiencing the CSS issue on page editing screens because I am developing a child theme of bp-default. I updated the functions.php file as provided on the ticket but am I supposed to alter my child theme functions.php file? I have no idea how that would go. Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree? Please help!

`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111102’;
// Register main stylesheet
wp_register_style( ‘child-theme’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue main stylesheet
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-theme’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );
endif;`

Script installers are plagued with problems, I would avoid it if you can.

@rodtrent new Custom Community 1.8.8 is not yet out in WP repo but available at https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community – this version is compatible with WP 3.2.1

Btw, BuddyPress 1.5.2 for WP 3.3 is out now https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/

As long as the scripted installer does everything correctly, it’ll be fine.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I updated functions.php using the file given in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3849 but it hasn’t fixed the issue on page editing screens. I first tried pasting the code in manually, then I tried uploading the provided file found on the ticket. Am I missing something?

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );

There’s a plug-in for this. I forget the name, but you can find it in the WordPress plug-ins directory.

Hi Guys

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Bojan

Yes, this is a known issue and ticket has been filed at WP trac. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744

You’re using WP 3.0.2; try upgrading your WordPress install to the latest release (v3.3) or at least v3.2.1.

To install buddypress, u need a theme compatible. If you want to make your theme compatible, download this plugin: BuddyPress Template Pack (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/). Install and go to the link BP Compatibility at menu Appearance in WordPress Dashboard. In this page are a tutorial to how make your theme compatible.

hello. i am using buddy press widget theme, wordpress 3.2.1. and the latest bp version. Can you please tell me how i can fix my main menu navigation? example: when rolling over the drop-down button”stuff” it looks bad – due to the length of text i think? please help. http://nexneurocare.com
thanks, paul L.
