    I installed the bp sliding login panel and I need to put a link just for the admins and users who can post to the site blog. Again trying to keep limited people to access the dashboard of wordpress. Sorry for the long post but, these are things I haven’t figured out yet. When adding code to the update-content.php the code will show up on the front end. I have added other links but, not any with a special function. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    You should ask these as separate questions – the first two issues are general WordPress (not BuddyPress), so best asked on the wordpress.org forums.

    Post issue 3 as sep question on here, and issue 4 you could ask to @pollyplummer on her group for the plugin

    Ok, for about three days I have been pulling my hair out. I have been working on locking out users from wp-admin, creating a generic login-page(not the wp standard), custom members homepage, and adding links to the bp sliding login panel.

    Issue One:

    In the finctions.php I put the following code:
    `add_action(‘admin_init’, ‘no_mo_dashboard’);
    function no_mo_dashboard()
    { if (!current_user_can(‘manage_options’) && $_SERVER != ‘/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php’) { wp_redirect(‘http://mensrightscoalition.org/activity/’) ; exit;
    }
    } `
    For the wp_redirect I used the http adress because I couldn’t get the code right for wordpress to render correctly. It worked till I added the wp email plugin. Why would this change that code? The site owner don’t want the members to have access to the dashborad of wordpress, only admins. The wordpress is being used to create a website and community. I searched for a plugin but, every plugin does what I don’t need to be done. Any help would be appreciated.

    Issue Two:
    I installed the A2 custom login plugin and this just isn’t what I am looking for. This site has a basic login page, how could I implement the same type of page?

    Issue Three:
    This is more of a question than an issue. Most social networking sites have a members homepage where a user can see whats going on at a glance. Well, I need to create a section called at a glance. This area will be the page that users see after logging in and gives information about that user activity and the entire site (i.e donations that they contributed, hours they volunteered, forum topics, etc…). Would it be easier to create a plugin or just create a new section in the core files.

    Issue Four:
    I installed the bp sliding login panel and I need to put a link just for the admins and users who can post to the site blog. Again trying to keep limited people to access the dashboard of wordpress. Sorry for the long post but, these are things I haven’t figured out yet. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Two plugins which look current and could help you https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/activate-users-in-buddypress/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-approve-user/
    As usual, the following disclaimer applies: backup DB and files before activating plugin

    Hey! I’m using wordpress 3.4.1 with the theme ‘backstreet’ everything looks ok except for the fact that the sidebar on buddypress pages is at the bottom. Thinking it’s a width issue but I have no idea. Here it is: http://www.homegrownshow.tv/blog2/members/admin/

    Please help me before I go insane :(

    You could try editing /profile/edit.php in your theme to use wp_editor() instead of textareas.

    Have a Google for guidance on using wp_editor() – it’s the WordPress wrapper around tinymce.

    You’ll probably also need to change the filters that sanitise your text inputs to ensure they allow the tags that you want to support in your editors.

    Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your paradise theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

    I’m trying to do the exact same thing right now. It has gone smoothly, bar version 1.5 featuring no CSS for the admin bar, then on upgrading to 1.6 the admin bar CSS was fixed, but all the menu items in the admin bar disappeared.

    Any ideas on how to get the BuddyPress bar menu items back?

    I chose to use the new admin bar menu instead of the older one, so perhaps I could go back to that to fix it? It seems like moving to the regular WordPress one would be best though.

    #141111

    Well… mixed results. Replacing the 1.2.8 files with those from 1.5.6 blanked everything, including wp-admin. I tried putting them both in the plugins directory, de-activated 1.2.8, then tried to activate 1.5.6 but it wouldn’t activate.

    So essentially the upgrade so far has been a failure. On the other hand it is, as I mentioned, a temporary measure so that isn’t a catastrophe. In the process, though, I discovered that the files we’d been sent originally had been on a mac at some point, and the file system was littered [sic] with mac resource forks. I used ‘find’ to delete those, and we seem to be in a much, much better state than previously! Apparently WordPress tries to load and execute the resource forks where they’re present.

    There are still egregious problems with the site, but I’m inclined to think that most of them are to do with the corruption in the db data we were given initially, e.g. existing comments seem to have become disassociated from their original posts, whereas new comments are working properly.

    Thanks very much, everyone, for your help. I’m not marking this as resolved since my original problem hasn’t been solved, but I think we’re probably going to leave BuddyPress alone for the moment. WordPress is great when it works, but I’ve found it pretty opaque to debug; thanks again for helping me out!

    Cheers,
    Ben

    “They said they were
    hoping to show off “that
    wow factor, “WordPress Opensource Wonder”

    this is not spam. This is rather an encrypted message. Buddypress is still stuck in 1,********s. No major release recently. Its 2.0 phobia

    “The audience liked
    their number, which ended
    with all of the guys dancing in trays of water”

    “Sharon liked it. Howie liked it but said it was “one-dimensional.”

    “Howard thought they “did well,” but also said it was “deja vu” – we had seen it all before or we were mesmerized”

    @newbie2011 we have a list of “template-packed” WordPress themes @ https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

    If you need assistance for your current theme, open up your theme’s header.php, copy all code, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

    #141107

    Thanks everyone! I don’t have a convenient test environment available, but I have backed up the entire database and all the files, so I think I’ll cross my fingers and try stwc’s method, as the easiest – assuming it works!

    If it doesn’t then I’ll revert and we’ll try a different approach. Ultimately we’re planning to move all the functionality off the WordPress installation and onto our own system anyway, so there’s a limit to the amount of time I want to put into making it work properly.

    Thanks again everyone, I’ll report back!

    WordPress 3.4.1 | BuddyPress 1.6.1
    Theme Theme BP Columns with 5 Widgets
    Self-hosted + self-installed

    I need help with:
    [1] removing the round corners and the space vertical empty space b/w header/body/footer and
    [2] styling the menu to style BP Columns theme to look like CUNY Academic Commons [http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/]

    @modemlooper helped with some CSS. The theme has a custom.css where it already has:

    div#container, div#first .widget-area, div#fourth .widget-area, div#content, div#content .padder, div#footer-widget-area {
    -moz-border-radius-topleft: 0px ;
    -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 0px ;
    -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 0px ;
    -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 0px ;
    border-top-left-radius: 0px ;
    border-top-right-radius: 0px ;
    -moz-border-radius-topright: 0px ;
    -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 0px ;
    -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 0px ;
    -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 0px ;
    border-bottom-left-radius: 0px ;
    border-bottom-right-radius: 0px ;

    =============
    Additional notes:
    [1] To all the WP vets {like me} here, who are NOT used to looking at the fancy shmancy _new_admin bar above the fold – that’s where you log in in order to submit a comment at the BuddyPress Support Forums. I’d never seen it if it was not for @djpaul a few minutes ago (and 5 days too late).

    [2] Thanks goes to the to the dev.team of Buddy Press. We’ve used WP extensively for the last 10 years and giving it social network capabilities is a blast.

    [3] Also thanks to @boonebgorges who introduced me to the Commons in a Box Project [http://commonsinabox.org/] and the powerful engine coming up in Nov.

    problem solved!
    I’ve installed Display Widgets https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/
    Everything works perfectly now.
    @r-a-y Thanks again!

    Agreed with Roger.

    You would have to do two things:
    * modify the registration template (/registration/register.php) to remove the username field.
    * modify the registration validation routine to use the first and last name as the username. If you’re already familiar with WordPress development, the appropriate function to look at is bp_core_validate_user_signup().

    The link to create a group (if group creation is enabled) is available on the groups directory page in bp-default theme. If you want to add the link to your custom theme, the relevant code is in this line https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/index.php#L21

    @shawn38, The site was using a blog from wordpress and the theme was well liked and buddypress was just a test at first. It seemed to work out pretty well for what the site needs. I will keep this in mind for any other future buddypress projects. The !important seemed to work. Thanks.

    @karmatosed, Thanks for your input and will be using that as well.

    @mercime, Thanks but, the way I aligned it isn’t proper. I added styles to each element because when I use the .bpcontent div it was only fixing the Members Directory page. The rest of the pages ended up still being out of alignment. Your post makes sense and I should have noticed that but, I didn’t. Thanks for that one. The sidebar-buddypress,php is no longer in use or shouldn’t be. I am using or planning on using my themes sidebar.php. This made it much easier when making the theme compatible. I am going to go back and fix the css and see if my alignment issue works out a little easier.

    Thanks for everyones input, I am sure I’ll be back.

    Hello,
    I’m using WordPress 3.4.1. and my own BuddyPress child theme under BuddyPress1.6 Default.
    I’ve set a static home page and an empty page (called BLOG) to display the posts, using the GUI.
    I’m also using Widgets Controller to select widgets to show in the sidebar on each page.
    Everything works fine for the standard static pages (default template) but the sidebars are empty in the home page and the BLOG page even if I select some widgets to show there.
    I can’t figure out why and where I have to dig?
    Any idea?

    Hello,

    A client had a WordPress site which we moved onto one of our servers by copying all the files and using a MySQL dump we had from their previous IT people. We didn’t expect it to work straight away, and it didn’t, but we got over the obvious issues, and things started to become visible.

    There have always been a lot of issues, though; it seems, for instance, that the db dump we were given originally was pretty corrupt. The whole thing is a pig, and we’ve decided to make sure all the code is as up-to-date as possible in order to eliminate any problems there. We’ve upgraded WordPress itself to 3.4.1, and BuddyPress at the moment is at 1.2.8.

    Obviously we need to upgrade BuddyPress. The instructions at http://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-6/upgrading-to-1-6/ say explicitly to upgrade first to 1.5 before moving up to 1.6, but it seems as though the automatic upgrade link in the plugins section of wp-admin wants to go straight to 1.6

    Is it important to avoid this? If so, how should I go about the interim upgrade to 1.5? I downloaded the files for 1.5.6, but will I have to do anything to the database, or will it be sufficient to copy the new BuddyPress files over the top of their existing counterparts?

    I’ve got the whole site backed up – all the files in the web root and a db dump – so it’s not the end of the world if something goes wrong, but I’d far rather avoid the faffing about.

    Thanks in anticipation for your help.

    Cheers,
    Ben

    Hi. I have installed the Bp-privacy-component to my Buddypress installation in order to give my users some degree of control over their privacy settings. I have translated the pot. file, created a po. and mo. files that I placed in the “languages” folder in my wordpress installation (bp-privacy-es_ES.mo and bp-privacy-es_ES.po for spanish translation). The Privacy settings are now in spanish, but the drop-down menus (list boxes) for the privacy options are still in english, and I just don´t know where to locate the source.

    Any tips? Help would be most appreciated.

    Best,

    Erik.

    hi,
    I am new on this forum, I’m not sure to be in the right place…
    I ask me some questions about buddy press: I’m working on a website on wordpress. I’m looking for a tool to share videos with different suppliers. In fact I need to send them some movies (in high quality), each supplier can access to only videos which concerned them. Do you think Buddypress can be a good tool for me? and if I can insert movies on this tool, how does it work? is there a sort of administrator who can choose how to define the parameters of access? is it possible to download videos which are posted on line or are you obliged to just seen them without any possibilities of downloading? if my suppliers can download a video, will it be quick?

    I’m using the latest version of buddypress and wordpress.

    Everything works fine – but there is no “Create Group”-Link. I can easily create a group manually using the url. How do I fix this issue?
