BuddyPress.org

I’ve been at work all day, and not one of you have read my earlier post fully. Let’s try again:

1) I’m assuming, as you’ve said, that the WordPress timezone is set to your timezone. Do you know if your server itself is based in a different timezone from you?

2) Are you also sure that it’s *every* timestamp?

3) Also, check if your server is running PHP5 or PHP4. If you’re not sure, ask your host.

Are you using Apache on Windows or IIS on Windows? https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite

When I install the buddypress template pack plugin and activate it my site gets broken doesnt work, then i deleted the files from the server for the plugin and then the site started working.

To make sure i installed it twice both times it didnot work so i had to delete the plugin, is there any way where by I could get the plugin to work.

If this is a bug and not a misconfiguration, a report when we were on 1.2.6 would have let us fix it for 1.2.7

I’m assuming, as you’ve said, that the WordPress timezone is set to your timezone. Do you know if your server itself is based in a different timezone from you? Are you also sure that it’s *every* timestamp? Post a blog, create a group, write in the activity stream — are they all showing the same time (give or take a few minutes), and are they all off? Or is it just one or two particular timestamps around the site?

Also, can you check if your server is running PHP5 or PHP4. If you’re not sure, ask your host.

I have this problem also. I think it’s pretty poor of buddypress.

I tried setting the time zone in wordpress to New York, setting the time earlier so it set it to “5 hours”, realizing that, from LA, being 9 hours, maybe going further would solve it.

Setting to Moscow Russia I figured would fix the problem, but then it just says “sometime ago”

I NEED to have Times working, because everything is archived through time on my site, (cough cough, @djpaul 👿

I just updated and now I have this exact problem except mine is off my 5 hours. I live in New York, time zone in wordpress is set to New York.

Anybody? mmhmmm……. not good..

There are lots of wordpress plugins that will do this. A simple to use that redirects by role is:

BuddyPress adds extended profiles and groups to a WordPress install. What you want is doable but it wouldn’t be out of the box. You’d have to do some customization.

@hnla

I think you are referring to the Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/installation/)

I had this installed already and works perfectly in the members-loop. But it doesnt apply it to the bp_group_the_member loop

The automatic links still show up…

So this is where I’m getting stuck…

=== i need more serious response ===
@nahummadrid said it straight and clear, there’s no BuddyPress without WordPress. There’s no standalone BuddyPress. BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin.

@ganesi Buddypress is a plugin for a wordpress blog. Once activated on the wordpress blog, BP components/features/functionality will only fully work if you have a theme that is compatible with the Buddypress plugin.

The buddypress plugin comes with a default theme you can use. And that is a Buddypress default setup, I think that is what you might be refering to as “standalone” bp. its not really standalone, it’s a theme that comes with the BP plugin that you enable first then activate the BP plugin.

the buddypress plugin itself is a suite of “plugins” including the forums. Once you have a bp ready theme and buddypress plugin activated you can then activate the forums component(“bbpress plugin”) in the bp admin. once you have the forums activated you can then add additional features to your BP-forum by way of more Bp forum specific plugins. phew.

hope that helps, i kinda confused myself for a minute there. that’s a lot plugins on plugins crisscrossing there.

without wordpress there would be no buddypress. Buddypress only works on wordpress my dear

It means you’re using BP My Home plugin.

You only have to go to WordPress Backend / BuddyPress Menu / BPMH Manger submenu to display the list of available widgets. Then activate the ones you want to make available to users.

by that, I meant we will use the WP admin bar if we have time. Otherwise, the current solution is that we hide the WP admin bar when used with BuddyPress.

Probably, if John has time to do it.

I pretty sure 1.3 will use the WP menu

Here’s a couple links about improving BuddyPress and WordPress performance.

I would test some of the tips in those docs before setting up multiple databases.
