BuddyPress.org

Any solution to this? I’m having this problem now after I moved from /wordpress subdirectory to root.

For more assistance, please post your query at the WP.org forums – https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

There are different approaches to what you want to do which includes deciding whether you will allow your users to post from the backend or to post always from the front end. My approach would be to use EventPress plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eventpress/ along with with http://buddydev.com/plugins/eventpress-gallery/ which requires the premium BP Gallery plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/ which has images, audio, video galleries. Perhaps others would like to share what their approaches would be.

You can also use the Widget Logic plugin with the conditional statements listed here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-and-widget-logic.

The easiest way to enact this is to exclude all component groups.

Quickest solution would be to join Buddydev and implement the ‘Global Forum’ plugin – http://buddydev.com/plugins/global-forums/

You can see it in use on Bravesh’s own forum – http://buddydev.com/forums/

I personally prefer forums which link to groups, since this avoids duplication of topics. The other half-way solution would be to use ‘buddypress-group-forum-extras’, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/ – which would enable you to set up a group for each general forum type (i.e. support questions, introduce yourself, general chat), then pin these to remain permanently at the top of the ‘Forum Index’.

Search on BP is a long way off during the current release. I have an integrated search page, but it won’t search content inside of forum posts, just titles.

From what I’ve seen SOLR is very powerful and integrated with WP makes WP search faceted and extremely useful, I’d love to get it set up on my BP site, but it’s a little over my head and would probably require some extension to this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/solr-for-wordpress/

Recently I’ve added google custom search to my BP site, but as it’s indexing from the front end there are a lot of “pages” to crawl and it doesn’t seem to index them that well, I’ve also recently found the the member search isn’t finding people that I know are there.

Although I did hear rumblings that BP 3 will start to address search – we shall see, it’s a really tough one to crack

It’s been fixed in trunk, but not in the 1.2 branch. If you want to try applying the patch to your site, try applying these changes to your files: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3651.

I haven’t really explored it much, apart from getting the css to match various site designs…. I’ve tried to avoid using it but the spam (particularly the spam registrations) gets to be annoying. Adding this and the problem goes – apart from what appears to be the odd human spammer…

You could change where it says CAPTCHA Code to your own message – It’s an option at the bottom of the admin screen.

It would be nice to be able to place a text line above the graphic and above the captcha code line….

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-contact-form/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/ work well for me with buddypress….

== Looking into the DB I can see that the redirects column in wp-options is pretty large and I would imagine this is where the problem stems from, but I’m not comfortable manually editing this table. ==

Go to wp_options table via phpMyAdmin. Copy what’s in your wp-options table and paste in text editor. There’s a pattern to the madness of the serialized data which is sometimes very messy to edit by hand. Some plugins which have been deactivated and deleted still leave some nastiness behind and you would have to delete the section. Sometime back, I found the virus of a hacked install listed in wp_options table as well.

What’s good about doing it this way is that you can save what was originally in the wp_options table in a text file and keep in a safe place while you make changes via phpMyAdmin. When something goes wrong after making those revisions, you can always paste back the original content from the txt file you saved.

For an overview of what serialized data to expect in your wp_options table which could also help you ID what’s going on, go to http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/options.php or localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/options.php

Cool, I’ll close it.

BuddyPress doesn’t interfere with user registration at that level. I think you’re almost certainly doing something wrong if you are needing to create your own hash for the password, etc. The authentication class is overridable, and most stuff can be done via the ‘authenticate’ action (I think that’s the name). I would rethink the approach you are taking, and do a bit more research — the wordpress.org forums may have had discussion about hooking into the registration process, and certainly the codex does.

`I can most assuredly say he did not rip off the premium one and stuff it in the repo.`

Correct. I spent many hours of my free time coding that plugin. If you don’t believe me, just ask my wife, who had to put up with my constant complaining about Ning’s crappy json files.

I don’t sell plugins myself, but I don’t have a problem with people who do. And I most certainly would not go out of my way to hurt those people financially, if their only “crime” is charging for their work. (Occasionally, there are other issues to be considered.)

It’s specious of you to argue that, on the one hand, the world needs more volunteers, and at the same time to pull this kind of stunt. Pulling the rug out from someone’s business will not make them “see the light” and start volunteering here. It will only make them angry.

“as what happened with the ning to buddypress importer.”

Actually, I’d like to correct you on this as well. There’s a ning-to-buddypress importer plugin in the repo written by boone – one of the BP devs. I can most assuredly say he did not rip off the premium one and stuff it in the repo.

The site in question is alreayd releasing “lite” version of their plugins in the repo. Quite a number of them at this point.

You’re waiting for them to “come around”. They will not. Their pricing model makes them enough money to have kept at it now for four years.

What you’re doing, however well-intended, sets a precedence that makes it seem okay for people to do this to anyone. Like myself, for example. Yes, I sell plugins as well. While technically you could do the same to me, it would not endear me towards helping you. Ever.

Paul is pointing out that rather than helping people in this forum with their buddypress issues, you’re basically advertising for paid services. THAT is the problem.
