BuddyPress.org

Wpmu? There’s WordPress with multisite now a days?

And no you can’t use the native register page with BuddyPress.

Its been so long to your post , but I wonder where have you reached with your idea.
I am looking for something similar, but not just replacing the name from group to project. Can there be any drawing tool, so that we can just draw and share.?

anyways if somebody come across again,this plugin can be helpful :

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/

for sharing documents inside a group.

@PiManIII The plugin works with WordPress multisite, whether BP is installed or not.

@nahummadrid this would help with directing user to his/her site https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/primary-blog-switcher-for-superadmins/

Default login URL http://yourwordpress.com/wp-login.php or http://yourwordpress.com/wp-admin/
so unless you placed a redirect script to log in at front end, those are the links.

Thanks for the heads-up, @gunju2221

If by “BuddyPress profile”, you mean the fields and groups you have configured in the xprofile settings screen, then yes it’s certainly technically possible because site admins can create new user accounts without having to complete BuddyPress profiles. I’m not sure how to practically do this, however. Would need to try and find out.

Try to see if there’s a user registration widget (i.e. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registration-form-widget/ — not tested) and see if it works and does what you want it to do.

(To clarify, there’s no difference between a “WordPress user” and a “BuddyPress”, both are the same.)

Try installing Email Log (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/email-log.zip), which records all mails sent from the WP+BP installation, this will at least let you know if the activation email has been processed from the Site (According to the site itself).

There is also another plugin (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wp-activate-users/) which will allow you to activate users that dont seem to get the email or are just plain lazy.

I cannot for the life of me get the activation email to send. Can anyone please help? I’ve been working on this for over 12 hours straight now and am exhausted. Please help me! I’ve checked the box next to “allow anyone to register”, saved changes and installed the latest versions of “wordpress”, “buddypress”, “buddypress template pack” and “mail from” and it still won’t work. What else do I need to do?

Well..the problem was solved when i installed the plugin, but why does that problem exists..especially with bluehost if it is supposed to be the bes option to host wordpress..right?

To remove the default tabs, you’ll need to modify the theme.

Read this page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Then, once you’ve got the hang of that. Copy over /bp-themes/bp-default/header.php to your new child theme and modify the tab structure.

The function you’ll want is:
`is_user_logged_in()`

Wrap a is_user_logged_in() conditional around the tabs you want to show only for logged in users.

Something like this:

`

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

`

Note that if someone knows the URLs to those tabs, they’ll still be able to access them.

You might want to look into some BP private plugins like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-community/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/

Did you upload BuddyPress by FTP? There is probably a corrupt file. Delete the plugin and, if you can, install BuddyPress via the “Add new plugin” page in your WordPress admin.

@victor_moura – glad to help.

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘whatevernameigivethedatabase’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘root’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

root/root is the default username / password combo for MAMP. Obviously you should never have it set like this on a live public server because it’s instantly hackable, but on your local MAMP (assuming you haven’t got it set up to actually serve a Live site for a client to see online) it’s fine.

(When setting up a brand new site from scratch, you can also change your database table prefix (the setting is found in wp-config.php) for extra security. Google this to learn why it’s a good idea.)

b) I use MAMP Pro which comes with phpMyAdmin built in. phpMyAdmin can be launched from MAMP Pro’s interface. When I’m setting up a site I create a folder in my browser bookmarks for local, and one for remote. Aside from the site URLs, I bookmark the phpMyAdmin interface for both local and remote, so I can get to either database in a single click. Obviously, with the remote database it will ask you to log in during the loading, since to bookmark it initially, you’ll need to access it from your website’s cpanel (or wherever you launch phpMyAdmin from at your web host) and to do that you’ll need to be logged in to your host.

So, go into phpMyAdmin, click “localhost” (top left of main content area) to check you’re on the “home” page, and you’ll see an input field (“Create new database”). Name your db, and click Create (that’s all, no need to touch anything). This will create an empty database (a “shell” if you like) ready to be filled. I find it helpful to name the remote and local dbs differently (otherwise it’s too easy to get confused / messed up) .

3. Then click “Import”, find your backup and load it. At this stage, absolute URLs in your site will be wrong (they’re pointing to the address of your remote web server, not at your local MAMP server). To correct this in one easy find and replace (whilst protecting the structural integrity of your database tables – very important!) use http://spectacu.la/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ (it’s a very powerful tool, treat with caution).

Once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s quick. From starting a remote backup to running that db as a local mirror takes me about 30 seconds.

i. when I’m loading in a remote db, I always delete the local one (to do this go to “localhost” in phpMyAdmin, click the name of your db in the left hand column and when it’s loaded click “Drop” – it means “Delete” – it’s top right, in red), make a new local one, and load the remote db into this fresh “shell” – just to make sure everything is exact. You can delete the local db from within phpMyAdmin. Incidentally, this usually isn’t the case on a remote database (usually, to delete the remote db if you need to, you have to go into cpanel and select “Database Tool” or something similar).

ii. When saving the remote db, I select these options (you should Google this stuff) :

Add DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION / EVENT
Add IF NOT EXISTS
Complete inserts
Extended inserts

Select “save as file” and “gzipped”. Don’t mess around with the dump, or unzip it.

All of this works for me, with my particular setup. I can’t stress enough how important it is to do thorough testing, to be certain that the backups you make actually work.

There are several standalone tools out there for more comprehensive db management, but phpMyAdmin works great for me at this point, and it’s so convenient having it all in the browser. What makes MAMP Pro so good is being able to set up multiple virtual servers – sometimes I’ll run several local mirrors of the same site so that I can try out different things and easily compare the results.

Emails are *not* a WordPress issue. They are 99.9% issues with the host or your ISP. Every. Single. Time.

The reason they get dumped into trash or blocked by your ISP is becasue they are sent thru php mailer and have different header son them. Which is entirely due to the way your box is set and (as repeatedly mentioned) the way your ISP handles them on receipt.

WHAT THE HECK? I get every email from wordpress and buddypress except the ac. email.

IT WAS WORKING like Yesterday! I upgraded to wordpress 3.0.4 and UHHHH!

It’s so funky, my emails totally fluctuate. I just installed 3.04, and activation emails are not being sent out. I will have to go into troubleshooting mode tomorrow….

I wish wordpress would really fix this, I am getting %&$% tired of email problems.

The emails at one time would appear right smack away, but I recall the emails taking a massive amount of time to appear, so I would recommend a notice on the register page about this.

You have to edit the part about the server. On mamp it will be localhost and your user name and password is usually root. This is so WP can connect to your local database.

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘buddypress’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘root’);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

As for creating a database you go to phpmyadmin enter a name of the db in the create database input and hit create.

Then in the wp-config file you enter the name you entered here define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘ PUT YOUR DB NAME HERE’);

Yep, I just did the update, and so far so good. But if you are concerned, you should do a backup just in case.
