BuddyPress.org

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

read this theres a part about child themes

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

You might want to try this plug in

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!

I’ve encounter the same requirements for a profile field to be editable only by admin that is non-editable by suscribers.
Someone could eventually commit a small plugin that allows this sort of administrative tagging.

Outside of buddypress perspective, I end up using wp_usermeta database table with a call to add_user_meta($user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value [, $unique] ) and when i need the info stored i use get_currentuserinfo()

It’s a problem with buddypress.org’s hosting situation. As @crashutah alludes to, buddypress.org shares user database with wordpress.org, which at the moment has pretty severe restrictions on the kinds of files that can be uploaded.

I’ve spoken with some of the staff at Automattic about the problem, and they’ve informed me that the general restrictions on uploads at wordpress.org will be lifted relatively soon. At that time, the avatar problem here will be fixed.

I can’t implement any other fixes on buddypress.org at the moment because of the fact that it’s running a WP 2.9.x installation, which must be upgraded before any more fixes go up. That upgrade process is going to be very complicated. I’m working on it.

In the meantime, I agree that it’s not a great first impression, but I encourage you to download the software and check it out.

@vanisia Try the mail from plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

I too am experienceing this problem.

buddypress Stylesheet is missing.

using WordPress 3.01 and BuddyPress 1.2.6

oh yeah, what Paul said. I may attempt a plug-in. Not a full fledged blog posting plug-in but more a notes type thing like on facebook.

Or, yes, you can just change their permission from subscriber to an author so that they can post in the backend.

Best way to do this is use the premium plugin ‘Gravity Forms’. It will enable you to set up a submissions form for a post that they can fill in, write their article, attach a picture and then post. It will automatically publish or you can set it so you have to publish it once submitted. I use it and it works GREAT! One of the best plugins for WP in my opinion!

No, if you want users to have a blog you will need to enable multisite

Are you trying to integrate an existing bbPress install with BP group’s? Or, is this a brand new bbPress install with no data?

If the latter, there is no reason to do a separate install of bbPress. BuddyPress comes with a barebones version of bbPress already. It allows BP Groups to each have their own forums. However, it does not allow for the creation of a sitewide forum.

If you have an existing bbPress forum that you’re trying to associate with BP, then the bbPress tables must be installed into the same database as your WordPress tables. Make sure that you have read this BP Codex article: https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/using-an-existing-bbpress-installation/

Finally, if you’re trying to have a standalone, global bbPress forum on your site, and not just have BP Group forums, then read this: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-do-i-create-a-non-group-specific-forum

The admin bar is basically a WordPress thing. It’s getting an overhaul soon to look like the wordpress.com admin bar. You can disable admin bar and use the wordpress menus and create your own sidebar menu widget.
