BuddyPress.org

I am unable to delete members via the BuddyPress admin bar (I receive the following message: “There was an error deleting bob from the system. Please try again.”). I have to go into the WordPress user admin to delete them. (WordPress 3.0.1 & BP 1.2.5.2). Any ideas? (I’ve tried reverting to the default them and deactivating all plug-ins except for BuddyPress)

get_post_meta( bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id(), ‘thumbnail’, true)

but have a read about this – if you have pull info from a user’s blog post. so to switch, you’ll need to pass in bp_get_activity_item_id() (which is the blog_id)

Welcome Pack

Disclaimer: it’s my plugin, but it does what you want.

Try the WPMU New Blog Defaults plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/

Mainly if you want to rename or customise the user table, or share that table between separate WordPress installs, etc.

Same problem also for me. I dont know how to remove hello world

How do I redirect to the wordpress login page and not the buddypress registration page? I want to create all the user accounts myself and prevent random people registering for my site. Thanks!

Please make a new post, @ri-kun. This one is two months old and is on a different topic. We’ll reply in the other post, but what I think you need to do is go in and remove everyone from the root blog (they’ll be assigned as a ‘contributor’ or other user role by default). An alternative would be to edit the template so it always skips that item; I’m not sure what the consequence of removing that default user role would be.

Unless you want to run multiple sites (the correct terminology, not “blogs”), you don’t need to run multisite. Regular WordPress will be fine.

There’s no technical difference as to how to structure your site. If you just want your site to look the same on the homepage, but for visitors to dive deeper before they get into “BuddyPress land”, then maybe sticking everything under what appears to be a directory would be best (take a look at the URL for this page, for example. We’re under /community but the main blog isn’t).

I agree it’s the wrong way around. I’m advertising my own plugin here, but what I have done on some sites is use the Welcome Message part of Welcome Pack to send a private message to the new user and to say hello and remind them to complete their profile / picture, etc.

Is this on regular WordPress or on multisites?

Hi people, I hope you guys can help me a little bit, even though the topic is old quite old. Mine BP says exactly the same thing as EZD described. I have to go to gravatar.com etc etc. BUT, I have wordpress.com. This is really bugging me out at the moment so please help!

@rhivanz: If your site running on WordPress MS, you can put BuddyPress in the sub-blog, so all BuddyPress features, including user profiles, put there. About how to make it, can be viewed at https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings

Looking at this codex page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_tag_cloud Is there an easy way to use the taxonomy parameter with this? Don’t know.

I am having this problem with WordPress 3.0.1 and BuddyPress 1.2.5.2. I’ve disabled every plugin except for BuddyPress and I keep getting this error in Firefox’s error panel:
Error: jQuery(“#avatar-to-crop”).Jcrop is not a function
Source File: http://www.bladdyblah.com/groups/test/admin/group-avatar
Line: 38

Viewing the page source, I do see that the following js is being included:
http://www.bladdyblah.com/wp-includes/js/jcrop/jquery.Jcrop.js?ver=0.9.8

The uploaded avatars are there an in multiple sizes, but the crop tool doesn’t appear on the page (thus the javascript error). This happens with both user and group avatars.

Any ideas?

Are you using a normal WP theme? If so you have to install BuddyPress template pack plugin.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Then in admin>> reading chose a different front page

Ok… I am an idiot. I guess that happens when you don’t get enough sleep. Just in case others experience this issue, it is because the permalinks in wordpress 3.0.1 default to http://url/index.php/month/etc. I switched to custom and took out the index.php and all works. DUH.

Can you guys help me with this:

For my PRIVATE groups, I did the following to enable forums.

First, I reinstalled the forums from the dashboard (superadmin )

Then, from the buddypress nav bar, I followed
My Account > Groups > Admin >

Under the Admin submenu, I selected Group Settings and did the following:

UNchecked the “Enable discussion forum” checkbox
Clicked save
Checked the “Enable discussion forum” box
Clicked save AGAIN

That enabled forums in the private groups.

Still trying to figure out why these posts are not showing up in the main forum tab though…. ((scratches head))
Hope this helps someone else.

EDITED: Duh! The forums of private groups do not show up in the general forums page! Related, the site Pressography.com posted the phpMyAdmin version of the fix I outlined above: http://pressography.com/wordpress/daily-tip-fix-for-buddypress-group-forums-error-when-creating-a-new-topic/

PMs for Friends Only works; I just haven’t bumped the compatibility tag.

Also do check the oEmbed for BP v0.6 beta.

I’d say that most of the BP plugins should work. Only plugins that interact with WordPress in some manner should be flagged for testing.

passing the wrong values

@pcwriter “It does everything you want a dropdown menu to do, and it does it all automatically behind the scenes.”

That’s what my problem is though, it does too much and all behind the scenes. From a design stand point, when I’m trying to figure out programs like wordpress or buddypress I try to break everything down to its most basic state so I can completely control things, so I can make a website function around an attractive user friendly design instead of limiting my design to the functionality I am stuck with because I can’t figure out what is going on hidden behind the scenes. It would be great if there was a buddypress codex with individual lines to generate single links to each page.
