There’s a plugin for that but I don’t know if it’s working in 3.0.1

try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/ set “Create group capability” to “subscriber” and all other settings to something above

@modemlooper, thats a pretty neat little .js library. Cool.

@mohansingh, IE6 is what satan excreted on the internet back in the stone age. You shouldn’t be bothered about IE6 actually. Try this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nomoreie6/

Mark – you’ll need to follow the instructions in that post clearly. Keep in mind that the plugin is not for WordPress; the modifications are mostly to Mediawiki. Your “valid headers” issue probably arises from the fact that you’re loading the plugins into wp-content/plugins instead of the extensions directory of your MW install.

Sounds to me like most of your requirements could be met with WP Multisite plus a few selected plugins and themes.
– P2 allows for front-end posting
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-privacy-options/ expands WP’s default privacy options to allow blog admins to hide their blogs from everyone but themselves
– Forums could be accomplished with bbPress or a forum-specific WP plugin

Depending on what you need out of “blogs”, you might also be able to repurpose BuddyPress groups to do something similar. For instance:
– Each member is the sole member of a private/hidden group, and uses BP activity to “blog”. Since this happens through BP, there is no WP Dashboard involved.
– Likewise with Notes
– Depending on what you want with “Link List”, that can be pretty easily done with an additional profile field.
– Forums would of course be built in, in the form of non-private groups that the user could join.

How to decide? If you don’t need the rich functionality of blogs (post revision history, out of the box multimedia support, etc), then actually giving each user two WP blogs might be too much overhead. In that case, BP would be a good choice. The functionality that you’d need is all already there; your work would be limited to customizing and configuring the interface.

Have a look in the WordPress plugin repository for plugins that let your users switch language. You’ll also find plugins that support translation of page content (as opposed to the standard BP menus / text)

It is a WordPress setting, under the “Settings > General” pages.

You need to use a wordpress 3.0 compatible theme or create a child theme based on twentyten or buddypress and use that.

I read somewhere that buddypress can only work if you have network enabled on your wordpress as buddypress plugins activates as network try that see if it solves your problem.

You can create your own WordPress page template or widget and create a loop that calls the group avatars. The current groups widget is a good start to see how it works. Also check the theme files group loop.

This is more of a WordPress thing, but yes, it’s possible.

Though, I would do it with only one page.
eg. example.com/dashboard

No need to create pages for every single user in your userbase!

I would create a custom page template wrapped around an “is_user_logged_in()” conditional so only logged in users can view it.

Then the admin can add whatever content s/he chooses for the “dashboard” page in the WP Page Admin area.

Might want to try Cubepoints BuddyPress integration… will probably need to be modified to do what you want.

You can definitely enable it after the fact. Here’s a tutorial: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-enable-multi-site-option-in-wordpress-3-0/ I’d just test it before you do it since the change might affect some of the plugins you are using or other features of the site.

@ri-kun The answer to your second question is not straightforward, though it has been discussed before on this forum. I suggest posting it in another thread so that other users will be able to help you with it. You might also have a look at this plugin by @pollyplummer https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-sliding-login-panel/

Hi John

Change front page via Administration > Settings > Reading panel. You may have to edit your theme’s header.php to remove the “home” link. “About” is the name of the WordPress page of the same name, so just delete it.

This plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/ has the basic infrastructure to do what you’re looking for, though it doesn’t yet have a way for users to enter their own RSS feeds via a front-end UI. I plan to add that in the next version.

I’ve been experimenting with WordPress Mobile Pack on my BuddyPress site. Made some progress so I thought I’d share how…

Context is BuddyPress already installed, WordPress Mobile Pack installed:
1) enable Appearance – Mobile Switcher
2) set the mobile theme to “WordPress Mobile (blue)” or other, but not base!!!
3) under Appearance – Menu, create a new custom menu (for mobile navigation) with the following 4 URL links…
Link: Activity /pathto/activity/
Link: Members /pathto/members/
Link: Groups /pathto/groups/
Link: Forums /pathto/forums/
4) add the custom menu to the bottom of your sidebar, under Widgets (unfortunately visible for non-mobile too, but it not too conspicuous)
5) now under Appearance – Mobile Widgets enable only that custom menu (otherwise mobile navigation is a problem)
6) the BuddyPress links don’t work as the mobile theme isn’t compatible, so hack them in on the command line:
$ cd ?pathto?/wp-content/themes/mobile_pack_base/
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity ./
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/forums ./
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members ./
$ cd ../mobile_pack_blue/ (or the one you’re using, but not base)
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups ./

Your good to go! You can’t use the mobile base theme as it already has a “groups” directory which stuffs things up (if you’re not a nokia).

I am having a simular issue. I am using the Jooc theme, wordpress 3.0.1 and Buddypress 1.2.5.2, my admin bar is not showing on the front page. It does seem to be showing in the admin panel. I have deactivated, and deleted bp, and I checked the functions file for the theme as well, and it has the same code as posted above.

Perhaps this could shed some light…

Not much documentation but perhaps a peek at the code might help. Or a little query directed at @jjj
