BuddyPress.org

Hi @alex_h ,
you can peronlize BuddyPress Default Data plug to make it stress testing script. this pluging will create lots of users, messages, friends connections, groups, topics, activity items – useful for testing purpose.

== . I want my subscribers to have the option to choose which sites they want to be a member of. ==

You can make suggestions via https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/ then also add this plugin to blogs/subsites created by users http://buddydev.com/plugins/join-blog-widget/

@benzine You’re welcome.

== if I want to get rid of the sidebar, other than modifying my css for sidebar ==

Two parts in removing sidebar in templates where you want full-width

A. Near top of file, remove the line
`<?php if (get_option_tree('blog_layout_sidebar', '')) { echo '

Haven’t looked, where can I find the error logs?

Depends on your hosting service. Usually found in Control Panel or Plesk or in root folder.

But you didn’t mention whether anything is shown on screen when the activation link is clicked.

You might also want to verify that your hosting meets the minimum requirements if you haven’t already. No idea if that’s what’s causing your issue but can’t hurt to check.

It’s always easiest to troubleshoot core functionality (new users, new forum posts, new groups, upload avatar, new blog posts, etc.) before you start adding plugins or customizing anything. If you come up empty in error logs, I’d recommend a clean install so that you can better troubleshoot the issue. Otherwise, you might end up chasing your tail.

@shanebp,

Could you provide a reference of that plugin implemented for a BuddyPress site? I don’t see any examples (on their site) that specifically illustrate a BuddyPress implementation.

@verteus,

If all you’re looking for is a WordPress event plugin, here’s another you may want to research: http://eventespresso.com

I would check them all because I have used plugins that broke registration and it was usually the last one I tried. Matter of fact I know disable wordpress updates was the culprit on one occasion. Just disable them all one by one to weed out the issue and then come back if the problem persists. Just a piece of advice for the future, anytime you install a new plugin, test that the registration still works each time. It sounds tedious but it will save you a headache if you have installed many plugins and you have to weed out the registration killing plugin because you failed to test it.

Haven’t tested it myself but try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ag-custom-admin/
If that doesn’t do the trick and nobody else can guide you then you may want to consider hiring a developer and posting it here: http://jobs.wordpress.net/

@dasteralo2 First, deactivate BuddyPress. you’ve got to make sure that your WP multisite installation is working before activating BP. Now create a new blog w/o BP and see if your new blog has been created.
– If no subsite is created, then resolve the multisite issue first at the multisite forum https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
– If a subsite is created, then activate BuddyPress, go through the Installation Wizard and choose BP Default theme for the meantime, and create a new blog.

If you don’t want the bar showing up for non-logged in users then go to dashboard/settings/buddypress/settings and uncheck show the toolbar for logged out users.

The admin bar displays different for admins and subscribers anyway. It has admin functionality built in that a normal subscriber would not have. In short they don’t have admin options. So what are you really trying to do because it doesn’t make any sense!

Hello!
Did you find any solution to your problem ?
I have exactly the same problem on a wordpress multiste.
Thanks.

Okay gotcha! Put this in your child themes functions.php after the opening php tag :

if (!current_user_can(‘manage_options’)) {
add_filter(‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’);
}

function stp_no_admin_access()
{
if( !current_user_can( ‘administrator’ ) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
die();
}
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘stp_no_admin_access’, 1 );

@benzine You need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Paediatric theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your Paediatric theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
