BuddyPress.org

I strongly feel using this documentation you can achieve what you want.
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

And this should help you with manipulating navigation items in group , renaming them or removing them. (At midway of page)
http://themekraft.com/2011/02/customize-profile-and-group-menus-in-buddypress/

And this for custom fields (Not sure how much this will help for groups)

I would also like to sync the two profiles because the Members-Search Function only searches in the Table wp_bp_xprofile_data. The function “xprofile_sync_bp_profile” only inserts the $user->display_name from the “wp_users” into the default field “name” in the table “wp_bp_xprofile_data”. The user-nicename of the wp-profile could be the fullname or the login-name or only the firstname. This is not enough information for a good search result.It should also be searched for the real first, last name and login_name of the user.

Using dropbox doesn’t make any diffrences. Actually it made my site to load slower . Try to Use Google Libraries and WordPress Gzip Compression plugins. IT will improve your site’s performance.

This is a change in WordPress 3.1, I believe. You are best to ask for support and discussion on the wordpress.org forums.

Glad you got it worked out!

Although, I’m pretty sure that if you remove the admin bar via ‘remove_action’ and remove the CSS for admin bar body, it would make the wordpress admin bar compatible, from my understanding the 2 bars were not “incompatible” as much as “clashing”

Well thats just the standard action.

To replace the bp-adminbar, with the wordpress adminbar, you must remove the bp-admin bar first!

I’m still not completely comprehending what you’re trying to achieve.

these would help

I have this problem as well. I installed wordpress 3.1 on my 1and1.com host and am trying to add BP 1.2.8.

(uiserver) > uname -mrsn
Linux infong576 2.6.28.8-20100125a-iscsi-ntacker-fasync-mremap-grsec i686

From my debug.log:

17-Mar-2011 19:19:32] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: wpdb in /homepages/staging/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-wpabstraction.php on line 13

Hi Guys I was also suffering with this avatar upload image cropping problem for the last 2 weeks, I had thought that this would be a problem due to using wordpress for multisite or may be a problem with new wordpress and buddypress integration but finally I found that this was due to a little plugin that I never thought can cause such issue.
This plugin name is “sliding readmore”.
As I removed this plugin all the problem goes away with image cropping.

You should be asking that at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting – log in with same username and password you used to get in this forum.

I suggest that when you post at WordPress forums, you should provide more specific information like Site URL or which WP theme used, etc.

Cheers.

Change theme to bp-default and see if erratic behavior disappears.

If issue is resolved using bp-default, then you should check if you have upgraded to the latest Custom Community theme version https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/custom-community.

If theme upgrade doesn’t fix it, there is a forum for that theme at http://themekraft.com/groups/custom-community/forum

It means exactly what it says in error. Contact your webhost re: “The GD image library is not installed.”

If you are on your localhost, you would need to add/activate GD library. You have to resolve GD library addition or activation issue in whatever package you are using for your installation – xampp wamp mamp lamp etc.

Resolve this issue before installing/activating BuddyPress at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

Buddypress emails are wired around wordpress emails.

Bluehost seems to be the worst when it comes to the emails, as taking very slow/not sending.

Try using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

Good luck!

Hi Pisanojm,

“looks like some of users are reporting some cache issues…. That is groups that they’ve joined that they have to “rejoin”

What kind of issues? Do you have the WordPress plugin installed? Or mod_cloudflare? I’m wondering if this is because our IPs would be reflected until you made the modifications to get original visitor IP again.

Lumenbeing, the answer is yes, in my experience. I am testing WordPress MultiSite with BuddyPress on a Dreamhost setup. I did install by uploading via FTP, not via the one click, but for whatever reason, none of the BB Press tables were created in my database. I tried applying the patch in Paul’s post above, but that wasn’t enough and uninstalling and re-installing the forums via the Web still didn’t help.

I went through the MySQL statements in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.php and was able to create the tables manually in the SQL dialog box in phpMyAdmin. You do need to make sure you fill in the database names for the variable $bbdb in each statement
ie: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `$bbdb->forums
needed to become
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tablename_bb_forums`
But I am now able to use the forums for public/private/hidden groups as I expected they would work.
I do suspect this is a server issue and perhaps a MySQL version issue as well. I can’t imagine why none of the tables would be created, otherwise.
Hope this helps further the conversation.

@JunVette Glad you resolved it and thanks for sharing your solution.

@mercime Thank you!!! It was my .htaccess file.

I had to add the following line to the end of my .htaccess file. This tells the webserver to user PHP5 instead of PHP4 (for anyone that doesn’t know). I had to do this with my other 1and1 hosted sites, including my Joomla sites.

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

There have been many issues of WP plugins/custom theme incompatibility with WP 3.1 due to many changes in core. Btw, what theme are you using? WP 3.0.5 upgrade to WP 3.1 has broken “some stuff” along the way. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-31-master-list?replies=11

On each plugin’s homepage in WP repo, look to the lower portion of the right sidebar which links to forum topics where people give feedback – report problems.

– Re Smooth slider – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-smooth-slider-needs-upgrading-for-wp-31?replies=2

– As for multilevel navigation plugin – unfortunately, the plugin developer doesn’t seem to provide support in WP repo or his website, and it supports WP version up to WP 3.0.5 only, while BP 1.2.8 is compatible with WP 3.1. In other words, this is not a BuddyPress issue at all. Suggest that you look for alternative plugin
