“the buddypress links show either as blue links in a tree on a white page”
Based on search in this site, there have been issues with the qTranslate plugin, Since the plugin also hooks onto the bp adminbar, it could have caused your links to appear without any styling. Did you follow the instruction to delete code line for qTranslate to play nice with BuddyPress? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-qtranslate/

Is your WP single site or multisite? Test WP functions first before installing BuddyPress to isolate the problems you have in your install. Run Settings > Permalinks and set it to other than default. Deactivate BuddyPress and qTranslate. Now go change themes in WordPress site – is the theme layout showing as expected? Upload media in site. If you’ve gone multisite, upload media in subsite/blog also, are images showing up in posts with WP default theme (twentyten) on for main site and subsite? If answer to either is no, then you have to resolve those issues first before installing BuddyPress by going to https://wordpress.org/support/

This BP.org site is currently undergoing some Ninja renovations. Not quite sure why the links you gave are redirecting to different BuddyPress plugins in this site. I got Eventlite the first time then gPress the second time I clicked on the link. Might be because plugins are good to WP 2,9,2 but then so are some other plugins.tagged buddypress
@boonebgorges ping! BP Ninja Lead

EDIT- Thank you for your patience. Housekeeping is most probably ongoing.
All plugins listed in BP.org extend plugins are available in WordPress.org plugin repository

1. I’ll check about the invite tab, that is strange behaviour (I haven’t been able to to do that much as I have exams this week — I’ll be addressing all bugfixes for 0.1.2 from Monday onwards.

2. If an event creator invites someone, then the registrations get auto approved. If someone else (apart from the creator) invites people, then they get the “pending” status. ( I had assumed that anyone invited by the event-creator himself shouldn’t be given a pending status.)

Also, I’ve started using Google Code hosting for EventPress and related issues — that way I don’t have to keep checking this forum, the plugin forum, the wordpress plugin form (as EP also runs without BP) and my blog for feedback — http://code.google.com/p/eventpress/ . So, beyond this point, I’ll be checking the google project more often (and more of a chance to see a reply there).

I am also having this problem and I see no new information. Is there a fix?

In my installation, the Adminbar isn´t displayed on the login page. This is a function of WordPress … You could hide it for example with CSS.

You’d have to create your own conversion script.

If Sharetronix offers some type of export functionality, this would probably make things a little easier, though you’d still need to build a script so WordPress / BuddyPress can parse it.

You’ll want to use Paul Gibbs’ Welcome Pack plugin for new users to have a bunch of default friends :
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/

By default, Welcome Pack sends friend invites; to have the plugin auto-accept friend invitations, read this:

For your other questions, please post them on the forum.

done. Actually the reason why i was looking at the code was to see if I could add a twitter feed e.g. `http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=wordpress` and somehow not have the forum icon showing in the activity feed but the icon of the original author of the “tweets”

this is in the google:image_link entry so I was thinking if “groups_record_activity” handles something like “avatar” , have to look in to it

Yup, you create a theme using the BP files that are for WP like single.php and then link to the CSS in your BP folder. Then when you edit the default themes styles it automatically updates the secondary blog. I may even do one of these and upload to WP theme repo as it’s something that keeps getting asked about.

Perhaps a hybrid of @boonebgorges‘ group management with @nuprn1‘s https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/ ?

BuddyPress Template Pack – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

I’ve just experienced the same problem. Installation via WordPress ‘appears’ to be successful but when accessing BP interface I get ‘Page cannot be found’.

Checked the files via ftp and the ‘blogs’ folder that BP wants to access is empty except for a ‘media’ folder with a ‘.hidden’ file in it.

So it seems that the files were not copied to the correct location. Check the folder permissions and they are 755.

Using a new install of WP 3.0.1.

Anyone help?

You could hack together something like Lifestream fairly easily using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/. There’s no interface for it yet, but the infrastructure is all there.

Jeff Sayre has said that he’ll be releasing his Privacy Component shortly after 1.2.6 is released.

The kind of rich tagging you’re talking about really isn’t possible at the moment. Only when BP’s core components are converted into WordPress content types (like custom post types) will they be able to easily inherit WP’s taxonomy functionality. I’m guessing that will happen in the BP 1.4 range. The good news is that, once it does, tagging/categorization will be totally seamless.

The social features of BuddyPress are in addition to, not in place of, the ‘posting’ features of WordPress. If you set up a WP site so that users can write and publish new blog posts, BuddyPress won’t change that.

Here’s a helpful tutorial: http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/14/adding-categories-and-tags-to-your-posts/

I’m using buddypress 1.2.5.2 (latest version) and wordpress 3.0.1(latest version).

What i’ve done so far: I’ve gone to ‘Profile Field Setup’ on the WordPress Dashboard under the Link ‘Buddypress’ and added the fields ‘Business Type’ with a drop down box of three options – DJs, Venue or Promoter. So when users register they choose one of these business types. I wanted these to show up on the members directory so put in to members-loop.php this code:

`<?php

//code inside the members-loop.php

$business_type= xprofile_get_field_data( “Business Type” ,bp_get_the_site_member_user_id());//fetch the text for business type

?>`

and i’ve tried:

“

Anyone have any idea where i’m going wrong?
