Well, it will be a bit more complex. But we’ll do our best!
I just tested BuddyPress 1.2.9 on WordPress 3.1 and WordPress 3.2 and everything was perfect.
* OS
* Browser(s)
* WP Version
* Try clearing cache?
will the update from 1.29 to 1.3 be as smooth as this one (from 1.28 to 1.29) ?
WordPress 3.2 is out. So we are waiting for BP 1.2.9

TastyKitchen is a highly customized site but you can achieve very satisfactory results for your business directory idea with the Buddypress Links plugin:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-links/
Or you could dig in and learn about custom post types:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types
There’s also a pretty good plugin for creating custom post types. I’ve played with it (not extensively, mind you) and it works well:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
oops sorry forgot to write down my email…im going to test it now and following my feedbacks and/or suggestions.. (Y)
edit: quickly tested it out, it’s a great addon. My first suggestions are:
1- i hate popups, an embedded version maybe in a wordpress page would be great
2- in the profile, the picture is a little bit to the bottom, in my opinion it could go a little up.
3- it woud be great if from facebook could grab email and locations too.
If you’ve created a child theme of bp-default, you could disable the custom header function by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php
`define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );`
From that point on, you could search for a plugin which does what you need
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-display-header/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-header-image-rotator/
or something like the above
@spreadinglove since your forums are generated via bbPress plugin, I suggest asking this question at https://bbpress.org/forums/
@mercime
Yes, its all the same install.
right now, the only loop I was able to get to work is:
`<?php
$debut = 0; //The first article to be displayed
?>
<?php
$myposts = get_posts(‘numberposts=-1&offset=$debut’);
foreach ($myposts as $post) :
?>
- : <a href="”>
`
Ive tried other loops from https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop and have had no luck.
I just get date, title.
Any ideas.
Confirmed. This is a bug in trunk, for multisite. I tracked down the problem and am about to commit a fix. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3313 svn up your BP installation to get the fix.
Thanks for letting us know, and for running trunk!!
great! thanks! ok so first you say that all that can be done with the current versions…then lastly you say that i need to dive into the code…so do you mean that the things that i mentioned are only available if i dive into the code? or are they possible without doing any coding?
i’m not a coder, and i cannot afford to hire a coder…but i have been able to fiddle a little with some very simiple code here and there…so if its simple enough, i may be able to figure it out if there are explicit instructions somewhere…
i will check out the buddypress doc you linked to but i’ve found that the wordpress docs are not always easy for me to understand…make my eyes glaze over, LOL! i much prefer the interpretations that people blog about or post on forums that explains things in simple terms that i understand. so i hope that document is user friendly in that sense. we’ll see.
thanks again! and please let me know if to do the things i listed above if i will have to get someone to help me with coding or if they are possible out-of-the-box or with a plugin? that wasn’t clear to me in your response. thank you!

You can achieve that with a membership plugin. A quick search of the WordPress repository will turn up several: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=membership
My personal favorite is s2member… it does everything, and then some! :https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/
i had tons of trouble with this.
Don’t know if you tried these methods but they worked for me..
I used two plugins:
Mail From and WP-Mail-SMTP
with mail from I had to create a myname@mydomain in the email section of cpanel because my site was stuck in default ‘noreply@mydomain.com’
It kinda splits your email send outs as: username @example.com
I chose: eMail Address admin@mydomain.co.uk as the Current address WordPress is sending mail from
With the other plugin I noticed one major edit solved the whole issue for me in terms of my site sending out the registry email verifications.
First I chose to send out the emails with my newly created email address (made in cpanel)
then I checked the: Send all WordPress emails via SMTP box
then I chose: SMTP Host = localhost
then this was the was crunch that seemed to make it work..I changed the default SMPT port from 25 to 26 and it worked !
I also chose: Authentication No: Do not use SMTP authentication.
sent a ‘test’ email out to a test account on my site and all was ok.
I don’t know if this will work for you..but all I can say is it worked for me so no harm in trying.
This issue took me 3 weeks to solve !!
Hi,
thanks a lot; now it works!
I got rid of that second name by editing that field in the database (making it no longer required).
Now capital letters are possible, too: I had to change line 278 of the bp-core-signup.php from preg_match( “/[a-z0-9]+/”, $user_name, $maybe ); to preg_match( “/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/”, $user_name, $maybe );
If someone is interested in the details: I just wrote a tutorial on this topic (it’s in German, but you’ll see the code): http://neontrauma.de/wordpress/buddypress-mit-nur-einem-usernamen-samt-grossbuchstaben.php

The s2member plugin will do everything you want, and a whole LOT more too! Watch out though, you can easily get lost in all the features and options, so take it slow and follow the startup instructions closely. But everything is very well documented, and there’s a pretty good help forum available if you get stuck.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/
There is also a new bridge plugin for s2member (or any other membership plugin) that enables you and your users to create private profiles that become visible to certain membership levels. It automatically inserts an “Upgrade” link in member profiles that displays to users who don’t yet have view permissions.

thanks @mercime tried adding that memory increase to .htaccess didn’t work … i upgraded wordpress to latest …still won’t activate …tried deleting buddypress plugin and uploading new version ….doesn’t activate
the wordpress admin says “Plugin activated.” after it finishes but its still in the inactive section and no buddypress options
is the only next step to delete buddypress database tables?
thanks for the reply guys
Is there way of using the above code to simply display a notice along the lines of ‘you must be logged in to view this content’
as apposed to redirecting them to the register page, as I don’t really want that great big wordpress logo staring at them lol
So as I see it, I have to create the bp-custom.php file to place the code in right ?
