BuddyPress.org

Specifically for BuddyPress? No.

But since BuddyPress runs on WordPress, and since wordpress has a lot of plugins, try that.

The new bbpress plugin being created for wordpress right now can be used like any other forum.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-plugin-updates

The forum option within buddypress can be disabled (the group-specific one).

That happened to me once. I know that I had to change back to admin. But I don’t remember the steps as it was over a year ago with the old buddy.

I searched and didn’t find but I swore someone had created a WordPress theme to look like bp-default @Andrea_r

Basically, to clarify: you only need to use a BuddyPress theme on the main site where Buddypress is activated. On the user blogs, just use a regular wordpress theme.

@MrNiceGuy2 unfortunately the page you linked to in first post now goes to required registration page. Looking back to your first post == How do I edit these pages!? ==

When you go through the BP Template Pack process, 13 files in 6 folders are transferred to your active WP theme and those are the files you need to revise, and not the template files in BP Template Pack itself.

Your bb-config.php database username and password is in the file, if you open it and look, it’s pretty easy to spot.

The file should be in the root of the wordpress installation

If you open the header.php file you can see that 2010 theme and bp-defaut are calling two different site names. I don’t think this will work but you can try to add bp_site_name() instead of what 2010 uses bloginfo( ‘name’ );

The problem is new sites are not BuddyPress sites they are just using the same WordPress database as the main site. So new sites have their own names and such.

A link to your site would also be helpful.

Can you be more specific than a raging capital letter title?

== my users to upload their mp3’s and images to my site – on my storage.. on my hard disk.. not on those hosting servers==

There’s a plugin BP-Gallery ($30) which can do what you need above with images and audio uploads plus video uploads and video embeds.for single user and/or groups.

There’s also the BuddyPress Media/BP Album+ plugin
stable version – images – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/, https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/
beta version – images, audio, video embeds – in Google code repo

It really depends on what you want to do with the wiki. If it’s going to be a workspace for individual members or BP groups, I would recommend something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-wiki/, or the new plugin that I’m building with @dwenaus https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs

If you want your wiki to be more along the lines of Wikipedia – a shared knowledge base, visible to all members of the site as well as the public – then MediaWiki is pretty good, but it’s a bear to integrate and keep integrated. You might accomplish something similar by setting up a blog on your MS installation as the ‘wiki blog’ and then enabling a plugin like http://wp-wiki.org/

BuddyPress’ forums are group-specific like the forums on Facebook’s group pages.

If you’re looking for a traditional forum, then stick with phpBB.

Also, stay tuned to the new bbPress WordPress plugin:
https://trac.bbpress.org/timeline

There will probably be an alpha release for that in the next month or so.

It’s better to be clear when posting!

You can use this snippet in your theme’s functions.php:

`function ray_bp_get_the_topic_last_poster_name( $name ) {
global $forum_template;

return str_replace($forum_template->topic->topic_last_poster_displayname, $forum_template->topic->topic_last_poster_login, $name);
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_last_poster_name’, ‘ray_bp_get_the_topic_last_poster_name’ );`

This snippet is part of my BuddyPress Usernames Only plugin, which you might be interested in:

This is why it’s so important to provide as accurate a picture as possible:

Initially you stated:
system is not sending..
Prompting my response for more detail but later you say:
but I have no problem in my wordpress blog.. this only occur in buddypress one

A vital piece of info that changes the nature of responses and needed to be provided from the outset.

@DJPaul Can you elaborate a little on this, is there in fact a possible issue between BP and WP when it comes to email sending? BP after all does have greater requirements for sending emails than WP, but I’ve never encountered an issue that was directly related to BP where email was concerned – as far as I’m aware! If there is a possible conflict is it something that can be flagged to look further into?

@mercime Basically the build of BuddyPress software on this website is pretty old. It has a bug where it doesn’t check for missing closing tags. As I have admin permission on the site, I went in and edited the post and corrected the markup. Don’t worry, this bug was fixed in the release versions of BuddyPress a few versions ago

@johnjamesjacoby has indicated that he going to update the WordPress and BuddyPress versions on the site this weekend. That will make things much better, though will inevitably involve some downtime whilst the upgrade is performed.

Or take a look at an existing WordPress plugin that adds a page in the same area that does you want, and try to reverse engineer it. My Achievements (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/achievements) plugin is quite well documented

BuddyPress uses the WordPress mailing routines. It’s probably due to a higher quantity of emails that your BuddyPress site is trying to send, vs WordPress.

Depends on your webhost actually. Some had to use a plugin to make mail work https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ and I’ve read others use this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

Check out the BP Skeleton Component:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/

It teaches you how to create a whole plugin for BuddyPress; you won’t need to use all the code in the skeleton component, but it’ll help you structure your code for BP.

The functions you want to look at in particular are:
`bp_example_setup_globals()
bp_example_setup_nav()`

Both are located in bp-example-core.php.

Hope that helps.
