BuddyPress.org

For 99% of themes, you can use any WordPress Google Analytics plugin and it will work for BuddyPress!

Thanks for testing the trunk version!

Your scenario only occurs if javascript was disabled or if there is a conflict in the javascript. Are you using a custom theme? There’s a chance a plugin could also be intefering with the javascript.

Deleting activity updates when javascript was disabled was recently fixed in trunk:

WordPress plugin pages usually show the compatibility version as set by the plugin author.

Recent date can be viewed by clicking on the “Development log” link on the plugin page’s right sidebar.
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress (view the right hand sidebar for the link)

For status updates, you’ll have to either:
– post on the plugin’s support forum
– find the author’s website / Twitter account and ping that person.

For plugin compatibility, check out this codex page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ (this might need to be updated)

To update this thread, basic profile privacy is currently being worked on:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695

It will most likely be a plugin before it is included within the main BuddyPress core code.
Timetable for release (if I were to guess) would be late this year / early next year.

You can delete them manually if you are the site admin by navigating to the group in question. Then click on the “Admin” tab and next, click on the “Delete” button.

Or try a group management plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/

A lot of the repo themes are outdated. It’s ridiculous that they screen themes heavily when they are submitted to the repo but are then forgotten and never tested on newer versions of wp or bp. The theme review system at WordPress.org is completely flawed.

I’m not aware of any plugins that do this. It’s a bit tricky from a technical perspective – you need to configure special email addresses, get WordPress to monitor them somehow, and so on.

Wordpress.org theme previews don’t work for BuddyPress themes, because wordpress.org doesn’t have BuddyPress installed. I think there’s very little chance of this situation changing. I’ll contact the company who runs WordPress.org (Automattic) and pass the feedback on.

Regarding plugins appearing out of date; the BuddyPress core team has no involvement or responsibility for the vast majority of those plugins. If someone decides to stop contributing to a plugin, then it will eventually break and stop working, unless someone contacts the original author and they agree to take ownership of it.
It’s also worth noting some plugins may work fine with the current version of BuddyPress, and the author just hasn’t bothered with a release to update the “tested up to” version number.

== However, in the step 3 of the compatibility process it only listed 11 files to change. ==
True, but the BP Template Pack plugin will be updated to list 16 files which need to be changed per link above https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

== There are still some outstanding formatting issues. ==
True. I have updated code above in two areas above which I have placed [Updated …] info.
1. hentry-content should be entry-content
2. whole block of what to be replaced in bottom of registration/register.php

I have to ask whether you changed style in bp.css of the BP Template Pack plugin because the `div#item-header-content` is missing the `margin-left: 170px; ` and you need to bring that back.

In addition, you need to tweak some styles in your WP theme’s style.css file. Check out the additional tweaks on the BP components divs as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

Btw, where are you hosted?

== … a page with directories and registration that have drop down menus to create new pages to associate or pick an existing one. I’m not sure what to do here or if I made a new one what to call it? ==

If you had a default installation in BP 1.5 before upgrading to BP 1.5 and did not create Pages which have slugs like that of the BuddyPress components, then choose the corresponding Page in dropdown per BuddyPress component if it’s there.

You’d have to use the first method of fixing alignment in the BP Compatibility process to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. The first method involves changing HTML structure in the 16 files as listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

A. Download the six BP template folders which were transferred to your adventure-journal theme in server down to your computer hard drive.

** We’ll explore if the adventure-specific template tags will work within BP. It will spout errors if it’s not working, so we’ll have to delete such template tags. But if no errors show up, it’s good to go.

B. Starting with activity/index.php, open it up and at the top of the file, replace:
`

`

with
`

`

D. Save file and do the same to the remaining 15 files per list linked above except for registration/register.php where at the bottom of the file,
replace:
`

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();
});
});

`

with
`

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();
});
});

`

E, Upload the six folders to your server wp-content/themes/adventure-journal folder

Thanks Paul, I was in the process of putting on my boots to go find me some ah ‘dem har tires to kick! I am very much a newbie and do understand the frustration but that energy could be more productively spent. Anyway, Boone did a couple great Buddypress presentations which can be found on WordPress TV. Also, there’s a Buddypress for Dummies book. Both provide good foundational material even though neither are up-to-date. But I think that’s awesome because it means we’ve got some very committed people in this community who are intent on continuous improvement.

OMG, finally a support site that’s worse than what you get at Drupal.org…yes, I too can’t find my way around here. No wonder everyone uses the ’90s-looking phpBulletin software for a forum! Can’t believe this BuddyPress is from the same folks behind WordPress — but then again, maybe the WordPress site was a mess at first, too….

Part of the problem is that everyone’s (that is, everyone “normal” and not on Facebook all the time) expecting a standard forum with an orderly hierarchy whereas this BuddyPress way of doing things is…chaotic.

looks like a bug
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-activity.php#L57

Suppose to check for an existing activity keying off the blog id, post id, user id, etc and then it updates instead of inserting.

starts with bp_group_join_button https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php#L1507

shows up via bp_directory_groups_actions in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/groups-loop.php#L57

@im3sna No worries, I get what you mean. What theme are you using? If you are using a WordPress theme, then you have to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the compatibility process.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/installation/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Please.. i need help… don’t know how to get my way around here..
how do I change the front color or the background color of buddypress in wordpress theme? How can i extend membership sign up questions?

tHANK YOU
