I’m having the same problem.

On an older (v. 1.2.5.2) BuddyPress site on it’s own WordPress (3.0.1) install I was able to upload avatars just fine.

Now, on the latest BuddyPress (v. 1.2.6) driven subdomain on a WordPress (3.0.1) network site, I’m having this upload problem. The error message specifically is:

“Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /group-avatars/1. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

Seems like a bug in the latest version. As @BionicClick pointed out above, this very site (buddypress.org) has the same problem!

Please, there are problem to download WP-fb-autoconnect from wordpress site as you can see in a note on “justin-klein-com”, it says:
Note: As of November 18 2010, this plugin seems to’ve mysteriously dissappeared from WordPress.org. I’ve e-mailed them about the problem, but they’re notoriously slow at replying. Hopefully it will be resolved and available for download again soon.
Someone please can send it to me by email?

there are several plugins you can find on wordpress.org plugins for frontend posting, there is even a buddypress frontend posting plugin around here somewhere.

you could also use http://gravityforms.com which is the premium route.

or you could do it yourself http://wpshout.com/wordpress-submit-posts-from-frontend/

ah and there is the option where you can leave access to the dashboard and just css the heck out of it to make it look like the frontend.

I like both the gravity forms and dashboard theming options.

Create a child theme and add header.php into it. Then wrap the BP components including bp_nav_items in conditional tag https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

Sure. In terms of WordPress user roles, WordPress cares only about two – admins, and everyone else. Admins can of course do everything, and everyone else can do everything *that BuddyPress provides*.

I will check into what the “blocked” role does, and if need be, I’ll patch BuddyPress. I’ll update this thread later.

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,

Any body a clue whats courings the 404 pages
because it looks likes bp isn’t running in the safe level

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:

New plugin: 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.
