BuddyPress.org

Someone did indeed post a code snippet that did exactly that, though I can’t find it myself any longer. Ideally though, this would be a plugin functionality that could be enabled per-group as a check list via the WordPress backend. I’d love to engage more users to the full potential of our groups, but fact is some of our groups still exist for the sole purpose of replacing the forum board we emigrated from.

If you deactivate buddypress..can you create and use custom permalinks in your WordPress install? Try something like /%category%/%postname%/

Do they work, can you go to page, post and category pages with custom permalinks turned on?

You need to get this working on your base WordPress before installing BuddyPress

Add this to wp-config.php `define( “BP_REGISTER_SLUG”, “your-registration-slug” );` and change ‘your-registration-slug to your own registration slug.

Edit * the wp-config.php file is situated in the root of your wordpress installation

you can block them all together (but will need to remove the previous ones manually)

otherwise there is a few hacks in previous threads on how to filter on the activity array and unset items.

There is not anything new in BP 1.2.6 that will address any spam issues. Spam blogs, however, is a problem with multisite WordPress in general (not specific to BuddyPress). It still sucks, of course.

You need to disable BuddyPress until your WordPress multisite is setup and works fully — by “fully”, I mean blog creation, multiple user accounts, commenting and permalinks.

You haven’t installed WordPress under a subdirectory called “forums”, have you? e.g. mysite.com/forums/wp-admin/

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undo-network-feature?replies=17 seems useful

A lot of us try to help answering questions on these boards, but we’re just volunteers doing this for fun. We seem to get most issues replied to within a two day period, which I think is very good.

Regarding above — neither of you have provided sufficient detail (have a look at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/ for the sort of information we’d find useful). Does WordPress (without any plugins or custom themes installed) send emails correctly, for example on user registration?

By default, WordPress sends system email using sendmail.

If you receive admin emails (new user joining, password changes, etc.), your email server is working, and it should send out notification emails to members without problem.

Members configure their settings: My Account … Settings … Notifications

If you want to use a different email server, e.g. smtp, this may help: http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/12939/using-wordpress-with-external-smtp-server/

If you want to send specific emails to members, you could look at something like the Welcome Pack plugin

Thanks @nahummadrid

@JordashTalon There is some more detail on my Achievements plugin at http://byotos.com/. An alternative to Achievements is CubePoints, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/

hey pals, I had the same problem. Searched a little in the wp documentation about permalinks. Seems that to use the permalinks other than the default one, mod-rewrite needs to be enabled in apache server. I followed the steps and enabled the mod-rewrite module and now everything is working fine. here’s the documentation https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

Have you enable Multisite on your wordpress install? Blogs are only enabled if you use multisite:

“The site was originally installed on WordPressMU”

You can convert a WPMU install with only one site to single WP, it’s not hard to do and there are tutorials online on how to go about it. But none take BuddyPress into consideration and you’re on WP 3.0.1, so all bets are off. I would suggest experimenting on test install first and see how that works out, taking into consideration avatar and media upload paths. Main work would be on database. In the meantime, I assume that in your dashboard > Super Admin > Options > only user registration is allowed.

Problems solved on actually bp and wordpress 3.0 for profile
The first problem was the js conflict with jquery -> dynamic marks not works
the second is the profile maps doesn’t work so ->
the file bp_maps_profile_init.php contain a bp_maps_profile_init() function where the function bp_maps_profile_is_enabled, bp_is_profile_edit and bp_maps_profile_is_map_group return false so the js aren’t be loaded .
So you must change the condition for it work!
this is my code
function bp_maps_profile_init() {
global $bp;

//backend options
add_action( ‘bp_maps_admin_plugins_div’,’bp_maps_profile_admin_plugins_div’);
//the numer of my group edit for the location page (/members/admin/profile/edit/group/6/)

if(strpos($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”], “edit/group/6?) !== false):

//change infobulle content to set user’s info
add_filter(‘bp_maps_marker_infobulle_content’,’bp_maps_profile_infobulle_content’,10,2);
//add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_markerslist_marker_content’,’bp_maps_profile_marker_content’,10,2);

//change infobulle content to set user’s info
add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_marker_title’,’bp_maps_profile_marker_title’,10,2);
add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_marker_list_title’,’bp_maps_profile_marker_title’,10,2);

add_action(‘wp_print_scripts’,’bp_maps_profile_print_scripts’); //edition scripts (address autocomplete)
add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_map_js’,’bp_maps_profile_add_map_js’,10,2); //array to contain the field ids
add_action(‘wp’,’bp_maps_profile_edit_no_marker’);

//TO FIX : useless ?
//add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_new_marker_address’,’bp_maps_profile_get_new_marker_address’);

do_action(‘bp_maps_profile_edit_map_screen’);

bp_maps_head_init(); //load maps JS

endif;

}

Well, when yo call xprofile_template_loop_end, then this hook should only run once the complete loop has finished. There’s no way of adding stuff before or after a certain action hook (except when there’s another hook), only right where the hook is. One way of adding things to a loop is to use a counter for the loop and then add a dynamic hook to every entry, like so:
`do_action( ‘some_custom_hook_’. $counter );`

BuddyPress plugins are just WordPress plugins, so the best starting point is probably the WP codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

Then there’s the skeleton component that does a pretty good job of explaining some BP specific stuff:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/

And of course the BP plugin files and other BP plugins, that you can have a look through.
