BuddyPress.org

hey..
i jus started my own blog: http://www.studentbuff.com/
when somebody tries to log in…its going to the word press page ( http://www.studentbuff.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.studentbuff.com )

i have wordpress 3.01 installed….and none of the 2 options above for registering new members is there as an option

@johnwinch42 –

‘fix’ isn’t the right word, as it’s not really broken – in general, WordPress blog post text is left as the original author intended it to be written (with the exception of some meddling by Matt mullenweg).

If you want to modify your blog posts to convert @pseudo references into clickable links, you can probably do it by filtering the blog content when it is saved.

BuddyPress uses the function bp_activity_at_name_filter() to create those links. Take a look at it (it’s defined in bp-activity-filters.php) and see if you can adapt / use it for the filters on blog content saves.

wordpress requires a huge amount of memory to load … arround 30Mb …

running phpinfo I found the default memory limit was 34MB
via .htaccess i have increased my memory to 64M now it is working fine i can access my wp-admin

I’m using “One Quick Post” plugin on my site.

Take a look at @Pollyplummer‘s recent article on front page posting http://wpmu.org/8-wordpress-plugins-that-enable-posting-and-editing-from-the-front-end/

@creativologist You need to buy gravity forms for WordPress. It’s a premium plugin but does exactly what you want and is quite literally amazing! stacked full of features. The best WP plugin there is in my opinion for this kind of thing. Well worth the small cost.

BuddyPress works in single site mode. The only time you want multisite or network is if you want to allow your members to create blogs.

If that’s the case, deactivate BuddyPress. Then follow steps to create a network here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network. Then double-check your WordPress is working as it should before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

@bplove I searched around and found this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/editable-comments/

Do you mean you cannot edit the WordPress theme from theme editor? Or that you revised your WP theme’s index.php, uploaded it to server and revisions do not show?

@boonebgorges
true. it makes a lot more sense working towards a certain goal. in my case that was also wordpress development, so that’s the way i learned php as well. which wasn’t necessarily the easiest or fastest way to do it. Anyways, I think, having a certain understanding of php makes it so much easier to understand WP, or any other php-based code.

Once I got my hands on Programming PHP, my skills developed a lot faster than by trying to figure out stuff by reading other peoples source code.

it’s item 9 on this list for BuddyPress 1.3:

Wed 28th July Dev Chat homework

A good way to start are these 2 pages:

This one specifically for BP:
https://codex.buddypress.org/home/

And this one for WP:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

On that last one have a look at the developers documentation.
But as said before, if you don’t know php, then that’s where you need to start.

@dubbelf – it’s no more technical than modifying your theme loops to exclude posts from various categories, and certainly less technical than restricting certain authors to specific categories.

At this stage the questions you are asking are not really BuddyPress support specific, more general WordPress considerations.

If you want someone to build / enhance your site for you, you can advertise on the Jobs Board: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/

If you are going to modify the site yourself, you will have to get technical (PHP, HTML and some base WordPress theming knowledge).

You have more than one problem in your install unlike the singular issues posted above. Before blaming everything on BuddyPress, make sure you’ve got your WordPress working https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/. Where are you hosted? Single site or Multisite? BP/WP versions used?

@airrykah deactivate BuddyPress. It depends on your WordPress installation. Check if your install is sending out activation emails to those registering. Find resolution for your email problem at WordPress.org forums before activating BuddyPress.

If your WP activation email is working, deactivate any BP registration plugins and see if regular registration works.

Edit – there’s also a workaround, see if this works for you – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/specific-faqs/#register

Couldnt you use the existing user roles… built in to wordpress?

I’ve been using: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dbd-login-style/ It’s not perfect, but works ok. I thought I saw another one released recently, but I can’t remember where.

That’s because it’s hardcoded in the bp-default theme (unfortunately).

You can remedy this by creating a child theme with bp-default as the template. Then, copy over bp-default’s header.php and remove the WordPress version meta tag.

Hi Sven — Thanks! I replied to your question on the google group. Copy/pasting here for the sake of completion:

Depends on whether you’re using EventPress on WordPress or EventPress on
BuddyPress — support for nicely displaying tags and categories hasn’t been
included at the moment, but for I can definitely add in templates for
WordPress by 0.1.3. Tag/Category support in BuddyPress needs much more work
and will take a bit of time.

Hi

I’m trying to do exactly the same thing but the plugin linked above doesn’t work when you have buddypress installed.

Wordpress can use the user “nicename” as the url – but for some reason the profile page breaks whenever there is a dash (“-“) in that field.

@dubbelf –

Yes, members can have their own blog – it’s a standard feature of a WordPress Multisite install.

Follow the instructions here to set up Multisite: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Then check everything works, including custom permalinks.

Install BuddyPress (automatic plugin install)

And, hey, you will have an admin blog, and separate blogs enabled for members

Have a look at a basic WordPress install with a theme like P2
