`I have group creation disabled and users have to fill in a form to have us manually create their group.`
The spammer might have hacked into the Site/Super Admin account. Backup database. Curious what’s the username used by the hacker? Check activity of said “member” and remove/delete anything created by said member then delete from users. Do you still have a username “admin”? Then create another username for your admin account and then demote the “admin” to suscriber in wp-admin or remove completely.

Hi guys – I’m running the latest WordPress and Latest Buddypress with BBpress sitewide.
Yesterday I had 20-30 new users signup to my site, they show up in the site activity but not one shows up in the Members Directory. Now I know this is because they need to click the activation code link in their confirmation email and login to become a member.
I’ve tested the process by signing up myself and the email came to my inbox, so it didn’t go to Spam for me, I’m hoping this isn’t the problem for them either.
Therefore I am stuck as how to proceed in order to encourage members to actually confirm and go on to use the site. It seems like somewhere between wanting to sign up and going through the process of joining I’m losing everyone.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so how did you combat it?
Thank you!
try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-user-frontend/
it supports add media,quote,image, link, etc, etc
I am getting the same problem. It seems a bug, but I don’t know how to report it correctly.
I am on latest versions of wp, bp and bbp (3.5.1, 1.6.4 & 2.2.4 respectively), developing locally using MAMP.
The problem is essentially this.
When wordpress is installed with buddypress and bbpress (sitewide forums with group forums enabled for buddypress), if one hovers on “Howdy” menu to access forums quick-links, the forums menu offers 6 links (when you hover on “forums” quick-link), with 4 unique and 2 (“Topics Started” and “Favorite Topics”) duplicates. However, contrary to what @rmohney observed, even if group-forums are turned off, the problem (duplicate quick-links) persist(s).
Hi everybody
I want to know that, is there any plugin or theme which allows frontend posting with post-format option? like tumblr. I tried woo plugin, which brings me closer to what I want, but it dosent allow posting from frontend, how can I achieve this, any idea.
using wordpress 3.5.1
Have confirmed this on 2 more brand new installs.
Tried to explain it as best as I could in this ticket:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4792
Cheers 🙂
You want to add to the codex, great!
A couple guidelines to keep the codex in order.
There are enough top level components, types and contexts to manage all content. Please choose one of the existing options when creating new codex pages. This will keep the codex clean without unnecessary tagging.
Do not nest pages. The majority of users will google and find the exact page. When nested, if something is move or renamed it will break links.
The tips, tricks and hacks are not that important. They could cause future problems with sites if code changes do not work. By posting these on bp.org codex it makes them seem official and could confuse a new user. I would refrain from doing these types of posts and stick to documenting the core. In the future we should write the tips on our own blogs/sites/bp forum and then post a link on the main tips/tricks page. If someone has written a how to about a component then place a link at the bottom of the components page like it is done on the WordPress repo (scroll to bottom ) under an External Resources heading with date.

My developer is trying to use Nextend Connect, separate plugins each for Facebook, Twitter, Google. Anyone try them? I’m not sure the individual ratings are real, but they’re pretty glowing: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=nextend+connect
I would like to make a WordPress site for parents in a 10-school district. Most pages would be private (members only). I don’t want to maintain the subscribers base in the wordpress site — I want that maintenance to continue to be done at the level of the individual schools’ parent listserves, some of which are implemented with yahoo groups and some of which are implemented with google groups.
Is this possible with buddypress? In other words, can I make it so the authentication process checks whether the aspiring visitor is logged into either yahoo groups or google groups?
What I really need is to make a group of groups that includes a mix of yahoo and google groups.
I also want to make sure that the members-only content will be completely invisible to non-members, including google searches.
I’m new to BuddyPress, so forgive me ignorance! I’m using WP3.5.1, BP 1.6.4.
I’m using a portfolio theme from Themezilla to organize weekly educational curriculum. I have a LOT of pages on particular topics (each page has 5 posts, a video for each day of the week for students to interact with). I need to be able to send groups of users to a particular page. That page will then link to the group’s forum.
I can’t seem to figure out how to send users to a particular page though? There are some WordPress plugins to redirect a user after the log in process, but my user’s are staying logged in.
I’ll be changing the page that each group interacts with each week, so I’ve been hunting for a plugin that will make this a fluid process, but I’m willing to handcode things if I need too. I just don’t know where to start.
Thanks for the feedback!
How did you install WP via webhost script or manual install e.g. via s/FTP or similar? Have you tried re-uploading WordPress manually?
My WordPress version is 3.5.1 and my Buddypress version is 1.6.4
I loaded the .po and .mo files in french (although the file was for 1.6.3)
When I mean the front end, I’m talking about my profile admin section on the top right hand corner…where you get numbers whenever you get a message…
I have 2 messages right now but when I click them, its says the page dosent exist…
Now I have tested a profile which is not an administrator profile and the messages seem to be working right).
I have disabled all other plugins (I have only one which is Buddypress Courseware)
You can always submit a bug ticket on
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4573
Use the same login you use here. Provide an url where they can see the issue.
Ok. Do some research on conflicting Java scripts. You may have to take the same code and rewrite it a different way so the codes don’t conflict.. I’m not sure how well you understand java. Also. Go into the config.php in the WordPress and turn on the debugging mode and click the load more button.. You might be able to get an idea of what’s going on if the debugging gives it to you.. Also what’s the site address?
@amalsh
@ubernaut .. Hi Ben,
Thanks for the quick reply. The only Trac ticket I could find that was close is this one.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4573
It only addresses the issue where in WP Admin, the Activity time is +5 hours ahead of local time. The person who reported the problem may also have been in the EST timezone (-5) which means that the straight up GMT time from the dB would be +5 hours ahead of local time.
However, the Trac ticket was closed by DJPaul 3 months ago. I’m not sure what the protocol is to have it be considered as a possible bug again.
.. and my issue has another angle in that the Activity time that the end user sees in BP is -5 hours behind local time!
So relative to local time, I have buddypress related times that are -5 hours, correct time, and +5 hours off. Yikes! 🙂
Thanks,
Mike.
@ted_myers By default, there is one BuddyPress instance in a multisite installation. So even if you enable multiblog, while you can now have e.g. subdomain.example.com/members in your install, what you can post to and see there is that of BP in the main site.
If you want to have multiple instances of BuddyPress in your Multisite installation, there are two available plugins for that
1. ​https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
and
2. ​http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/
Drat! Another plugin that may not work for group forums. I guess it’s time to plan on converting off group forum. For future reference, is there a list of which plugin topic should be posted on wordpress.org and which should remain in the forums here on buddypress.org?
Thanks @djpaul
A good person on the WP forums wrote up a plugin for us that alters the output of oEmbed to add a wmode parameter to videos to “stick” them to the page layer go they don’t obscure div tags like the BuddyBar/Admin Bar, Arrowchat etc., but he didn’t account for the fact that (and this terminology is alien to me, as I am noob @ php) the Activity Stream content isn’t under the the_content handle.
So I’m wondering if someone here could look at this beautiful piece of software and see if they could tailor it to act in Buddypress.
http://pastebin.com/jKP4xABd
WHAT IT DOES: In short this takes the regular oEmbed output and replaces “?feature=oembed” at the end of the Youtube embed URL with “?wmode=transparent” and adds “wmbed=”Opaque”” into the iFrame tag.

I think bbPress plugin only, unless — by coincidence — the name of the event is shared (doubtful).

I have both site-wide and group forums set up on my site. When I try to create a new topic in a group, I get the error message, “There was an error when creating the topic.” I checked to make sure everything is set up correctly, yet I can’t seem to fix this problem. The site is using WordPress 3.5 and BuddyPress 1.6.4.
Can you help me troubleshoot the problem? The site url is: synergyconnect.net
Thanks.

“so i have not encountered any problems with wsl with bp and if there is its pretty much manageable via the settings. but it would be epic if wsl will be officially be compatible with bp.”
I just updated the Achievements plugin to Version 3 through the WordPress update.
The update erased all the Achievements, points, users… everything.
Luckily I backed up my BuddyPress site last Fri so I have everything in a zip. I just need to know how to revert this plugin back to the previous version with all my saved items.
Thank you.
