BuddyPress.org

Susan, I know this is old news, but I use Private BuddyPress:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/

It protects BP pages that are not protected by WishList.

Good to know you figured it out!
BuddyPress has forced me to learn a lot more about WordPress as well. A win-win!

I have a german wordpress … and I do not know if I re-translated it exactly to english!

It is in WordPress Administration ==> BuddyPress ==> General Settings ==> Disable user account deletion?

==> example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-general-settings

cu, guido

@bazonline – You shouldn’t have much trouble then. Just activate bp-default on the community blog only and not on all the blogs. If you’re just having problem with the page `

@helpy

I have the same config as Falcon Show – WordPress – 3.0.1 and BuddyPress – 1.2.5.2

I couldn’t figure out where the option “user cannot delete itself” is, either in buddypress/wordpress dashboard. Can you please tell me where can I find this option? ( I am using default BuddyPress theme). Thanks.

It’s not really possible to have multiple BuddyPress networks running from the same WordPress installation (though it might be possible some day down the road). Your users will have to be satisfied with their own groups, or they’ll have to install BuddyPress on their own WP installation.

Out of the box, BuddyPress only lets you send group invitations to people you’re friends with. It’s a spam prevention measure. If you want to bypass it, install Invite Anyone https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/.

a cheap/simple method: if they share the same db – you could setup each wordpress instance to the same custom_user_tables

BuddyPress supports forums via the bbPress forum script. It does not offer native SMF import support.

You might be speaking of the BuddyPress SMF Import plugin:

If you haven’t tried it already, give it a shot.

I am having the same issue, all I want to do is get access to my Wp dashboard but I am getting redirected to my website. How can am I able to get access to my dashboard without having to delete plugins every time? Please help!!!

Yes, you can put widgets on a page. If you create a page template with widget areas in it, you can assign that template to any page you create in WordPress. Then put your widgets on that page under “Appearance” > “Widgets”.

[blockquote]Jeff, yes, I like MAMP, but also wanted to avoid creating lots of copies of Apache and php et al – and I want to run on port 80 anyway…[/blockquote]

I have a single Apache/PHP install (the default MAMP version) and simply use Apache’s virtual host directive to host 9 different WordPress development sites locally. They all have their own test domain (they do not use “localhost”), and they use the default Apache port (80) and MySQL port (3306). It’s simple to set up and manage. This is done with MAMP not MAMP Pro. If you don’t know how to do this, then MAMP Pro will do it for you.

Theming BuddyPress is like theming any other WordPress theme.
You’ll just need to add all the BuddyPress-related template files to your theme for it to be BuddyPress-compatible.

There’s a plugin out there that automates this, BP Template Pack: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
However, use it as a guide as it needs to be updated.

There’s also another guide by @thekmen, which can be found here:
http://bp-theme-converts.com/convert-buddypress-theme-to-wp-theme/

Roger that. Plugins are down on both wordpress and buddypress….

I’m currently working on a theme package with widgetized front page;
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/new-theme-sneak-preview/

Here’s a good tutorial on how to widgetize any page:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

Hope this helps!

This seems to be a more upstream WordPress.org issue—check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

test and learn with the buddypress-widget_theme, specially designed for the homepage and with widgets on 3 cols
https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddypress-widget-theme

Not sure if there is conflict in code or something that cause similar problem. Maybe not related.

I gave up a long time ago rolling my own WordPress and BuddyPress installs directly on OS X. It was too much of a pain for very little benefit. I switched to using MAMP (the free version) and both install easily without issue.

stats plugins can also be a big problem

Good point if your logs aren’t being rotated you’ll end up running out of disk space completely, I forgot about rotating a log tried to open it in my editor to scan through, it editor wasn’t happy at all.

Don’t be surprised if your log file is what’s taken up your space. Look through the folders and tell us what files are taking up the space and maybe we can help you more.
