BuddyPress.org

Desha – good question. Paul – thanks for chiming in. What’s confusing, however, is that if I leave the “subscriber” role selected as the default for new users as part of the WP admin panel, a new user can still access the admin panel (and perform the normal Buddypress participation activities also). That said, if I select “blocked.” the user cannot see the /wp-admin console at all, but can still interact with the social/buddypress features …

Could you please provide some insight on why/how that happens?

Thanks again — great plugin!

Hi jwack: I’m using S2Member for my membership plugin, and it takes over BP reggie and sign up files in its own way, so I hesitate to respond from my own knowledge. But, I found this video http://wordpress.tv/2010/07/10/sabin-wilson-buddypress-boulder10/ by Lisa Sabin-Wilson that may be helpful for you, in understanding the page structure.

I’m reading her BuddyPress for Dummies now, but I just started and so am still, basically, a dummy;-)

good luck!

It will fit most any theme with some modification to the HTML and possibly CSS. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Try renaming your plugins folder to “pluginsoff”. Then try to access your wordpress admin. If you can then access the admin then change the plugins folder back to “plugins”

the problem for us IS with the theme. we were using the simple wp communty theme which may mean its a compatabilty issue between buddypress and a wp theme. the odd thing is that it worked for the past two months. its not a plug in issue. we could reinstall buddypress and wordpress but we’re afraid we’ll lose all site content.

Hi i have the same problem,

Bp Multi stite installation 404 http://domain.com/html/members/

Im running WordPress 3.0.1. with a mulit site installation.

Any body a clue whats courings the 404 pages

This are my settings

You need to revise HTML structure in BP templates transferred to your active theme in Step Three of the compatibility process. Plus copy some styling from bp-default’s style.css and adjust to taste.

I forgot to add it’s something we’re adding to BuddyPress 1.3, however.

Other than site admin checks, BuddyPress doesn’t use or check for specific roles or capabilities anywhere. So, in terms of regular users, there is no difference between a subscriber and a contributor for the BuddyPress features.

Did you search Google for an existing WordPress plugin? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-transliteration/ is one I found after a quick search. You could use that as a starting point for figuring out how to extend support to wherever you want in BuddyPress.

No, it hasn’t. Why would a BP plugin reinvent blog posting when that’s the main purpose of WordPress?

To add a friend, simply navigate to a member profile you want to become friends with and click on the “Add Friend” button. The requested member gets an email notification asking whether or not to accept the friendship.

Please go and test BuddyPress thoroughly on http://testbp.org, then come back here for any help.

For blogs, you need to enable WordPress’ network mode:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

When you have that setup, BuddyPress automatically detects this and adds a blog directory. There should be a button to create a blog on that page as well as on the registration page.

(Sidenote: me thinks we need a BP codex article to setup the blogs component)

To customize the welcome email, try Paul Gibbs’ Welcome Pack plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/

New plugin: BuddyPress No Mentions
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-no-mentions/

Enjoy!

Try the BuddyPress Moderation plugin. I think you’ll like it.

I built this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-lotsa-feeds/ but it doesn’t provide exactly the feed you’re looking for. I’ll file it as an enhancement ticket and maybe get around to it one of these days.

I should have come back.

I wrote this. Works fine on BuddyPress.

I don’t know if anyone is still following this thread but I discovered the users with this problem had not activated the account. So I installed this plugin so I didn’t have to keep deleting and recreating these accounts. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-activate-users/installation/
FYI the users either were not receiving the email, or so they say, or the message went to spam or didn’t activate when they clicked the link.
hope this helps.

Have you tried the Widget Logic plugin? You can determine the placement of widgets using both WP and BP conditional tags. That means you can create custom sidebars for ANY component, category, tag, post, page, etc… Give it a whirl; it’s a lot easier than trying to code stuff from scratch
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/

read this theres a part about child themes

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_custom_image_header

How to make it work with WordPress Single Blog:

Step 1
—-
Go into the plugin folder and open the bp-auto-group-join.php file. Line 67 should be:
`add_submenu_page( ‘wpmu-admin.php’, __(“Link Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), __(“Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), 1, __FILE__, “auto_group_join_plugin_options” );`

change it to this:
`add_submenu_page( ‘options-general.php’, __(“Link Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), __(“Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), 1, __FILE__, “auto_group_join_plugin_options” );`

That first argument just tells the action hook `add_submenu_page()` where your plugin menu item should go based on page slug. The options-general.php slug corresponds to the “Settings” menu. So you’ll get a link for the plugin settings under the Settings menu. I couldn’t figure out how to add the link to the BuddyPress menu since that menu works a little differently.

Step 2
—-
Go to line 147:
`add_action( ‘wpmu_new_user’, ‘update_auto_join_status’, 12, 2);`

Add add this new line below it:
`add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘update_auto_join_status’, 12, 2);`

I figured the wpmu_new_user action hook wouldn’t work with single WP. I was right. I tested with the additional user_register hook and it works. Joy

Hi Everyone – I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for but this is what I did! And NO coding required! lol

Under Buddypress Componet Setup enable the Group Settings. Now go to your profile page and set up as many groups as you like. Then use the Buddy Press Registrations Groups the author page is this – http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/ this will have the groups show up on the registration page and they will be asked to select which group they are a FAN of.

If you want you can go to the Editor Page or your FTP or Cpanel for that Plugin and on this page: buddypress-registration-groups-1/includes/bp-registration-groups.php scroll down to you see where it says Fan of and check one or more areas of interest and chance it to whatever your website needs are.

I hope this helps.

Another great plugin is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-member-filter/ When you put brackets [ ] around any word in your profile it makes it a link to all other members that have that word or phrase linked. So when you click on it all members with that link come up on a list.
Here is a example I use on my directions page for creating their profile.

[Hair Stylist]

I am a [Hair Dresser] [Beauty Salon] owner I offer [Hair Cuts] [Perms]

[Hair Coloring] [Hair Highlighting] [Braiding] and other misc [Hair Care] services.

I am available Monday – Thursday for appointments only.

Again I hope this helps someone!
