BuddyPress.org

LAST TRY
Why doesn’t buddypress work with wordpress as it should and as it is told by the experts.
pages are not found so who CAN help me?

Or, go back to using just bbpress and install a private messaging plugin if that’s all the extra you need?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-messages-for-wordpress/
that’s just one i found.

@pisanojm The BP_Activity_Template::__construct() problem has been fixed in the trunk; see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3421 Thanks for the report.

@imjscn You should be prompted to run the wizard in a yellow message across the top of the Dashboard (or Network Admin, on Multisite). Or, underneath the Dashboard > BuddyPress menu, you should see a Setup button.

Question doesn’t seem to really cover BuddyPress. I’d suggest you try searching on the WordPress.org forums

Buddypress v. 1.2.9
WP v. 3.2.1

Hi,
I’m trying to figure out a way to allow users to add new Posts to existing blog categories but with control over the categories they are allowed to post to… but I’m having no luck finding a way to do that.

Users are registered as Contributors.
This is a single site (not allowing them to create their own blogs)

When you click on the Dashboard > New Post link, you can see the actual dashboard in the site. It looks a bit tacky and confusing because you can see everyone’s posts in there as well as your own. There are hundreds…

1. I would like to disallow users from posting to the main category, and force them to choose a subcategory.
2. I would like to allow them to post on the frontend if possible, it’s not a major necessity (functionality is more important right now).

I have already tried the 2 plugins I found listed here in the forums, but they are both broken.

Perhaps I’m missing something in the settings for Buddypress? or maybe there’s a hack for this?

thanks!

We added two new parameters to the BP_Activity_Template class. The error is because they are missing. Please report this on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/, those new values should have defaults for back pat.

If you rename the plugin folder buddypress-group-css or delete it then then wordpress will deactivate it so you should be able to get back into the admin dashboard…

BP 1.5 beta1 has “swich” where group creation can be restricted to Super Admins only

You will need to activate the BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress.

We always listen.

The problem *was* down to localisation of time zones. The change went in on ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2779 — have a read through, and the associated forum topic.

19.6.1 works

2.0.1 gives following error log:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1000 bytes) in /Users/Calvin/Sites/wordpress/hezii_dev/wp-includes/pomo/entry.php on line 204

Have you tested with the testing feature of wp-mail-smtp at the bottom of the settings screen?

If you send an email to yourself it logs the whole process, successful or otherwise. That should give a clue as to where the problem is.

If the log shows it was sent successfully did it go to a spam or trash folder?

That log could be a bit too long to post here but it could be linked to…

This seems to be a wordpress rather than buddypress issue so it might be an idea to ask on the wordpress.org forums or elsewhere such as http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/

First, ask users to check if activation email went to spam folder. If not, wome webhosts have problem with WP mail. Some have used this plugin successfully https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

Anything WordPress could be creeping over and not playing well is my worry to be honest. I’d really recommend as much as possible trying a default set up. Not sure what theme you are using but defaulting there could also be good as a back to basics test. Least if you get it working you can build up from there?

Without modification this is what you are limited to with regards to roles and capabilities:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

However there are a number of permissions and membership level plugins out there which may offer variations.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=Permissions&sort=
https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/?search=User

I think perhaps though your sticking point may be admin check without admin rights though.

Does Ordinary WordPress email work?
Some wordpress hosting requires an extra plugin to get email working, such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

== Is there any other possibility to have BP running on my site without having to change the theme? ==

Sure. Install and activate BP Template Pack plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Go through the compatibility process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

If you only have a single site install of WordPress, the extra blogs should be off already. If you turned on multisite (created a network) you can either turn that off or disable blog creation under network settings.

Which website? Yours? What’s the URL? And what versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using.

It’s worth bearing in mind that as a rule of thumb, the more complex a plugin is, the more likely it is that it will need serious work to update. Some of the changes regarding slugs, as you mention, will only “break” plugins if a BuddyPress site is set up with a certain permalink structure. e.g. just like here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups// (Until 1.5, you haven’t had chance to put the groups directory under a generic “community” page.)

We’ll be trying hard to get documentation out on bpdevel.wordpress.com and the codex as and when the core team update their own plugins, etc. We’d love for anyone else to share what they figure out during the same journey
