BuddyPress.org

@porscheheritage – You could try upgrading the jQuery library with a plugin.

There are a couple out there. Browse through:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=jquery

I should say I haven’t tested this myself.

In BP 1.5, the “bp_blogs_record_post_post_types” filter was added so you can add additional post types by hooking into the filter:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php#L168

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3460

otherwise – use the lower level bp-core function for add activity entries (or just copy the blog activity add function and change the cpt check)

1. Build a child theme of the BuddyPress Default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

2. Copy over header.php from the bp-default theme to your child theme folder https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php

3. Add the following code from sidebar.php into your header.php wherever in the structure after the body tag you prefer. You need to style your login form accordingly (horizontal or vertical).

Your site is on maintenance mode, cannot see what’s going on.

There are some examples/walkthrough on how to implement Step 3 using method 1 or method 2 at the bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

Plugins should not include its own jquery, WordPress already includes it. Write the plugin author and tell them to fix their plugin.

Hey guys,

This code works perfectly, just insert the code into your theme’s function.php file.

Enjoy!

CDN = Content Delivery Network. A place where you upload static files like CSS JavaScript images and anything elses a page would request. This will allow fewer http requests to your server and CDNs make copies of files across globe so clients accessing file will get it fast as it’s closer.

Amazon has S3 CDN or you could simply use DropBox. Other options are header caching for longer periods forcing browser to download copies and keeping them locally.

Most of the WordPress cache plugins work with BuddyPress but youhave to pay attention to the dynamic nature of activity streams / forum posts. You can cache these areas but it should only be for like 30 seconds. But that’s only necessary for sites with thousands if users.

BuddyPress will run slower than a basic WordPress because you are using more db/server info with each page refresh. Anything than can to enhance a WordPress install will help BuddyPress. Use a cache plugin, not run many plugins and use a theme that doesn’t require as many files. You could use a CDN to offset server hits to static files.

I have the same issue. For now I’ve created a menu link to domain/blogs/create/ but I’d rather it be in the Buddy Bar. Also, going to “Dashboard > Sites > Create Site” takes non admins to domain/wp-signup.php which takes them to the site’s home page.

I’m using WordPress Multi-Site + BuddyPress + Membership Premium.

It’s actually pretty simple. It’s explained very briefly in the plugin’s installation page: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-export-users/installation/

Step-by-step:
1. Download the plugin to your computer.
2. Unzip it and open the file bp-export-users.php in a text editor (notepad, notepad++, gedit, etc.)
3. Find these lines:
$this->wp_fields = array(
'ID',
'user_login',
#'user_pass',
'user_nicename',
'user_email',
'user_url',
'user_registered',
#'user_activation_key',
'user_status',
'display_name',
'spam',
'deleted');
4. Add the names of any custom WordPress user fields you want in ‘inverted commas’ before the closing bracket ) making sure you put a comma in between the fields. E.g. ‘deleted’, ‘custom field’, ‘custom field2’)
5. Find the lines:
$this->bp_fields = array(
'Name',
'Telephone',
'Job Title',
'Organisation',
'Region',
'Primary Discipline',
'Grade',
'A bit about you',
'twitter',
'flickr');
6. Add the names of any custom BuddyPress (xProfile) fields you want to export in the same way.
7. Save the file.
8. Zip the folder.
9. Install the plugin in your WordPress installation using the upload method.
And you should be away.

I added a custom menu (from WordPress) and select only the pages I wanted to be there. This is a quick fix but I think if somebody knows the URL it would still be accesible. I’d like to see a plugin or something to hide the members page from anyone.

Cheers !

Are you saying the favourites activity count is off? https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3794

Installation Wizard Step 2 – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/
or
Configure BP components – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages

You need to create one page for each active BuddyPress component. So create a page called members and then under the BuddyPress admin menu you will find a link called pages, you assign that page to the members component.

The plugin doesn’t work for me, it scatters all the links into the header. The scripts shown here work but I get an “error on page” in IE. I’m running the latest buddypress/wordpress with BP-Columns. Any thoughts?

Can you open a ticket at trac.buddypress.org?
