BuddyPress.org

Easier with this plugin. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/

In a future version of BP it will use WP menus.

Create a page called home and then choose a page template then in the settings > reading choose that page as the static front page.

Great plugin; I need something like this for my migration. Thank you for creating it ! I’ll have to view the source to see if it migrates all that I need, as there are some mods that I installed which have an equivalent in wordpress, but since they are mods, they will probably not work without some coding. Also I am going to migrated from 1 db (MySQL 4) to another (MySQL 5), so that will require a bit of code also.

Sorry, I´m new using wordpress + BP. Could you tell me how I can use 2 sidebars (left and right) in the BP to distribute the widgets?

Thanks a lot.

What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using?

What happens with your blog Themes? Do they do not work, or is the display messed up? BuddyPress and MultiSite should work fine and your WordPress themes on sub blogs should display fine with the addition of the Admin bar at the top.

If you want a theme that matches your main blog you can adept the default theme to become a regular WordPress Theme or look at themes that do this for you

I can integrate your WP theme to BP. If you need help just let me know.

In your WordPress backend, scroll down to “Users” and click “Add New”.
Users can then fill in their profiles.

bookmarked for codex.

Do you have a timeline in mind for migrating to BuddyPress? The bbPress plugin will become available Q1 and should work well with BuddyPress. You might wait until Q1/Q2. Another consideration is installing BuddyPress with your current setup and slowly migrating everything to work together as new versions are released (WP 3.1, BP 1.3, bbPress 1.2…). The later was a decision I made o a site – install but not have it completely tied together – and will slowly connect things as new versions are released.

You have to update your permalinks after activating buddypress.

I already had that setup and it works fine, but since mine isn’t a live site yet, I’m planning on working with the bbPress plugin for WordPress.

Thanks for the note about the API key. I removed it from the original post.

The kind of sorting you’re talking about is possible but is quite a bit trickier. I have successfully used https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-geo/ is a starting point for that kind of filtering, but the repo version of the plugin is broken, and I’ve modified it fairly heavily to make it work for my projects. One day I hope to release a cleaned-up and improved version of BP Geo.

The basic gist is that you need to (a) use Google’s geocoding to turn location info into lat/long which you then store, and (b) use some fancy math (nicely defined in bp-geo) to do the proximity filtering.

All BP members are subscribers. If you want any of those members access to admin to post blogs then you make their account authors.

You do want to use no-conflict, but sometimes for testing purposes it is easier just to import jQuery manually and figure out the no-conflict stuff later before going live.

One thing that makes running no-conflict mode easier is setting up a variable at the top of your .js file like so:

`$j=jQuery.noConflict();`

I hope this helps!

I also have the same problem. Not just with my regular site, to which I’ve done a ton of tweaking, but also on a fairly fresh install on a different domain. What happens is that I click on “send private message” and everything comes up fine, an email with name of the person I’m about to email, plus a text-entry box to the right of the name. If I try to type into that field, the first thing that happens is that my header image reverts to the original blue of the default buddypress install… and then if I click “tab”, the following html comes up in that field I just tabbed out of: “”. Odd.

This installation of WordPress only uses the BuddyPress plugin. No other. It’s a relatively clean install, again, with 1 plugin. My main site, however, also exhibits this problem.

thanks in advance for the help on this.

Just to save a little time, I’m not sure which version of vB you are using but …

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-user-approve/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/register-plus-redux/

I’m using Manually approve plugin for this. It’s not in the wordpress gallery but works on MU. My only problem is that I get thise error with bp themes:” Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_page_title() in /home/thebaman/public_html/wp-content/themes/custom-community/header.php on line 11″ Any suggestions? Here’s the plugin link : http://mattkern.com/wpmu-manually-approve-new-members-on-local-install/

1) Depends if you’re using the same theme/child theme for both/all blogs. If you are doing so, both should have same styles.
2) https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options/
3) see New Bkig Defaults plugin above

I joined it, and downloaded it – but have yet to use it.. apparently the plugin requires a “phone home” to one of the wpmu dev computers every time someone or some spammer tries to sign up – and you need to have a current subscription to their premium service in order for that part to work… I asked in their forums (as a paid current member) if the other parts of the plugin will still work if I discontinue my monthly paid subscription to wpmu dev premium – and I got no response about that.. so I have yet to install it – as I can not see paying every month for the rest of my life…

there has also been discussion about using the plugin to go through all of your past members and looking for splogers – and apparently it will not work for that – only for new signups…

Right now my hope is that bp-registration options ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/ ) will incorporate some of the tricks from TTC ban hammer ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ban-hammer/changelog/ )and that the buddypress code will actually make it easier for us stop spmmers – right now buddypress ignores wordpress’ ban email domain features – and that just sucks – the bp registration options stops about 80% of the spammers from being able to post – but there is something in the BP code that lets some of them scoot right through, even with hashcash plugin, SI captcha plugin, and the BP registration Options running – buddpress wastes about 3 hours a week of my time simply deleting sploggers… but hey there are new features coming soon right? LOL

If possible, increase the memory limit in either php.ini, .htaccess, or in the wp-config.php file.

In php.ini
`memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)`
Follow the proper procedures for restarting apache, etc.

.htaccess method
This is in my .htaccess because of file upload limitations in the php.ini as well as memory limits (I use many many plugins).
`php_value memory_limit 256M
php_value upload_max_filesize 55M
php_value post_max_size 55M
php_value max_execution_time 80000
php_value max_input_time 80000`

In wp-config.php
`define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);`
