BuddyPress.org

Regarding the ‘export’/’import’ of WordPress. At some point in the future when BuddyPress (may) use custom post types for (some of) its components, I hope that those components can also be exported without any extra work on our part. “For free.”

As and when we get closer to doing this work, we’ll see best what the situation is.

@andrea_r

I think there should be an option to have an export of some type similar to wordpress to avoid backing up old or junk databases. This will allow to get a clean install. I think @DJPaul has this on his to-do.

Wonderful solution, but it only partially import comments and blog posts. When I try to hit the button again I did import a few more, but the third time I ended up with just this message and no import:

Blog name: WordPress Dimensie

Blog name: WordPress Dimensie
Importing: ""
Importing: ""
Importing: ""


Any clue as to what’s going on here? Because I’m stumped and I would appreciate any and all help
Working with 3.1beta2 and BP 1.2.7 btw..

You do not answer my question …
It is possible manually resend the message? It can be validated by the admin manually?
The subjective responses of the merits of wordpress is not useful …
Management accounts BuddyPress if you can not do that is not terrible in this case … There is a plugin to do what I want?

“specifically designed for wpmu or buddypress”

There doesn’t need to be – just pick one of the many that grabs *all* the database tables.

Hi @boonebgorges, that sounds so great! It disappointed me, that it is so difficult to give group members the possibility to just write articles in a group. WordPress started as a Bloggingsystem, and the missing possibility to write articles in groups is for me like something is really missing there.

Of course there is the groupblog plugin, but I think it’s a bit overloaded, to create a blog for every group, just to have some articles in this place.

There is another plugin from Brajesh Singh http://buddydev.com/buddypress/blog-categories-for-groups-plugin/. But nothing like a framework, to build your own component on it.

At the moment, the only easy starting point is on quick post plugin, but this plugin turned of buddypress support in the latest versions.

To have a framework for custom post type support in BP (front end editing, integration into nav menus, etc) to build custom post type components for buddypress with the possibility, to write articles from the frontend with the same functionality like the backend offers, would make buddypress application field much more powerful. Groups could be such a beautifully bloging tool.

Thanks for that news, and Happy Christmas

@hnla Ahhh yes. Will keep in mind … didn’t realize there was a distinction when on the BP homepage one of the specific features mentioned says “Even allow each of your users to start their own full powered WordPress blog.” It doesn’t say anything about Multi-site, so I thought this was a feature of BP. Maybe there needs to be some clarification on that feature description to avoid confusing folks.

Now, due to a problem with a photogallery, I had to change everyone from “Member” to Contributor which then allows members to post on on the site – just not on “their own full powered WordPress blog.” This may suffice for now.

@mercime I was aware of the difference between a real and a wildcard/virtual subdomain but not having had to create the wildcard functionality didn’t have a clue on how to implement. Suffice it to say I went to my hosting guys and got “Oh that’s easy. We’ll take care of that for you.” I’m about to dive in to the remaining instructions.

Thanks to all of you for your input and guidance!

In readme.txt of BuddyPress Group Activity Stream Notifications plugin:

It is recommended that you instead move to BuddyPress Group Email Subscription:

!!!!!THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED!!!!!

@thealchemist if your WP is multisite, you can use dsader’s plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-activation-keys/

=== I’m assuming i have to activate the child theme in the main wordpress dashboard, is this correct? ===

Yes. Activate the child theme in dashboard of WP site where BuddyPress is installed. So if your BP is in main/primary site, activate child theme in dashboard of main site.

=== There is no Super Admin panel, not to mention no choice either in the drop down menu at the top of the buddypress toolbar, or in the wordpress dashboard called ‘options.’ ===

Super Admin and special Options panel only show up for WordPress multisite installations – so if you want those but more importantly, you want to allow your members to create blogs in your site then read this https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

=== buddypress not posting the link for the codex anywhere on this site ====

Sure there is a link. Click on “Support” tab in main navigation then click on “Documentation” link that appears in line below main navigation.

I’m running the latest version of wordpress, 3.0.3 and a brand new installation of Buddypress. There is no Super Admin panel, not to mention no choice either in the drop down menu at the top of the buddypress toolbar, or in the wordpress dashboard called ‘options.’

so… how do we allow folks to register?

I guess this topic is closed thanks to Dave, please see [Plugin: Buddypress-Ajax-Chat] Plugin not working : Fatal error for more information.

just found a link here. http://hostandwin.com/free-buddypress-themes.php

any links to a current downloadable version? If anyone has one they can share, shoot it over to jake at ja-bob dot com.

I’m pretty interested in this too, I had my members set as “members” but have just noticed this has allowed someone to submit a blog post to the site which I don’t want.

The plugin works fine on all my installations of the latest WordPress.

If your users are not able to leave a star rating, it is likely that you are having a Javascript conflict. Are you using a custom theme? Try reverting to the BuddyPress Default theme to see if the stars work that way. If so, then maybe I it someone else can help you to troubleshoot the theme.

I should make it an option in the future for admins to turn off the part of the plugin that requires star ratings.

Hi,

I didn’t realize this was a problem. I’ll go patch it today. Easy fix. Please friend me or something if there’s a problem. I didn’t see this one until someone on the wordpress forum pinged me. I’m happy to fix stuff, just need to know

Thanks,
Dave

I’ve just checked your site. Looks like you’ve disabled BuddyPress.
