There’s a WordPress app that allows iPhone uploads for blogs. Just the straight WordPress app in the store. But you can’t do it via Buddy. You just have to connect your blog to the app and it works out. You have to enable atom publishing.

Ok I followed your steps however there is one slight issue.
Steps #1-4 works fine. However Im unable to sync it with buddypress.
According to this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-integration-where-is-bb-config-php-in-bbpress-v-2-0-2/
If that thread is right… I wont be able to because 2.x versions of bbpress dont use bb-config.php.
Of course there is no way to install a 1x series of bbpress in wordpress (or at least I couldnt figure out how its possible).
my bbpress works great, so… am I basically sol until the Buddypress people do the merging expected in v1.7?
EDIT: As explained, I have installed Buddypress but since I couldnt figure out how to integrate the existing bbpress install I turned off the forums option inside buddypress (I didnt want any conflicts). my BBpress forum still works fine.
After digging around for a while I noticed a few things.
1) If I open up a user profile in Buddypress I can see the topics the user created in the forum.
2) If I create a group it asks me if I want to create a forum for that group. In my phpbb3 forum I created forums for groups of people. After converting over to bbpress I have a forum for a ‘group of people’. When creating the group I did NOT create a forum for the group because I didnt want it to overwrite or mess up the existing forum in bbpress (the old forum and new group name are the same).
Without syncing buddypress and bbpress (as I explained above), is there anyway to link a group with an existing forum?
Ideally I want group forums, I just dont want to loose any posts already existing.
1. Yes, we changed this to make BuddyPress compatible with more servers. To change this WordPress email address, try a plugin like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/send-from/ or ask on the WordPress.org forums for other recommendations.
2. What theme (and version of the theme) are you using? What version was this working on? i.e. what version did you upgrade from.
3. 1.6 uses the WordPress core toolbar, rather than BuddyPress’ old toolbar. The WordPress logo is added to the bar by WordPress itself.
First of all I would like to express my thanks to buddypress team members for providing such a awesome plugin. As I am new to wordpress buddypress system, I wud be really thankful if someone guide me through the process.
Problem faced after 1.6 update
1. email notification to the community users about activity feeds that was from the address noreply@domain.com changed to wordpress@domain.com is this change permanent? or I need to make changes in general setting?
2. Previously buddypress activity feeds buttons “comment” can be accessed easily via wap from the operamini browser, but after the update, clicking the comment button, do reload the page but comment box doesnt appear. What changes do I need to do here?
3. WordPress and buddypress credit line appeared at the footer, now the icon of wordpress is also at the top left hand side of the page with links from wordpress homepage, buddybar was good. now it appears that its wordpress takes it all, so can in future we can also get advertisement of wordpress in side bars, I fear!
Thank you
Hi all, I have WordPress Multisite and Buddypress Multi with lots of subsites, it appears avatars people setup on the main home site/blog do not pull through when they visit subsites, I have define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ); set, I *think* this is what may be causing it, can someone tell me what is ‘normal’ behavior?
Thanks
Hi there, first of all, the important information:
* Running: *WordPress 3.4.1.
* Buddypress 1.6, upgraded from 1.5.7, everything was working just fine before upgrade.
* Custom Community Theme (child).
Now my issue:
I’m getting this error when I’m try to access some profile tabs,
Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /home/pgandita/public_html/loksearte.org/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template.php on line 787
The tabs which aren’t working are: Achievements (Achievements for buddypress plugin), Projects (Portfolio plugin), Profile/change backgrpound (BP Custom Background for User Profile plugin). It also makes the wordpress bar to disapear. As I said before, everything was working before update.
Greetings from Chile!
__________________________________________________
edit: just noticed that Settings and Settings/Notifications aren’t working neither.
I’ve almost got this up and running, but I have a few issues, perhaps you can help.
Here is my domain:
http://www.tbgamers.com/
My registration page is blank (I have completely logged out, closed all browsers, cleared cookies and cache) – but there is no registration page link. If you click the register link in the top bar (which I hope I can get rid of!) it takes you to a 404. http://www.tbgamers.com/register/ <-that’s a 404. http://www.tbgamers.com/index.php/register/ <-that actually goes to a page (I have re-saved my permalinks like 10 times now). But even then the page is just blank – no form to fill out (yes, the checkbox is clicked for “anyone can register”, triple checked!).
I tried all of the solutions I can find on dozens of pages – I just can’t get this to work.
Provided someone can help me and this is fixed, can I remove that ugly top wordpress bar? I don’t like it, and it’s ugly. But, fixing problems first is my goal.
Thanks in advance!

Software used: WordPress 3.4.1 and BuddyPress 1.6
I picked up the below code from the forum to make the default tab selected the profile tab and to also change the order of the items in the profile navigation, I added it to my child themes functions.php. It works except when you go to edit profile it spits out this error:
Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in C:xampphtdocswordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-corebp-core-template.php on line 787
Here is the code I used:
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ ); /* makes the default tab selected the profile tab */
/* Changes profile nav order */
function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav = 10;
$bp->bp_nav = 20;
$bp->bp_nav = 30;
$bp->bp_nav = 40;
$bp->bp_nav = 50;
$bp->bp_nav = 60;
$bp->bp_nav = 70;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );
/*end changes profile nav order*/
Any ideas how to resolve this issue would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced!
Buddypress 1.6, using the BuddyPress Default theme. The user is shown as banned in the Admin > Members list. The user cannot create forum topics, forum replies, or write new updates in the group. In a green box underneath the group description it states “You have been banned from this group.” when that user visits the group. It’s a public group. The banned user can still read everything, and he can reply to activity feed entries.
This was possible on previous versions of buddypress (1.5.6 i think) and I was wiping and re-installing wordpress and buddypress on two different servers (local and online) both producing the same results with fresh installs. I really had nothing to do that day… My site ended up only using private groups and I thought this was intended so I didnt mention it before.
Yes, there does seem to be a few issues.
While buddypress is claiming that there isn’t a need to network activate, making it work on a subsite doesn’t seem to be as easy as one might expect. I haven’t figured out how to get past the permissions thing on subsite, but network activating in the base site also doesn’t seem to connect to the subsites. They don’t seem to know buddypress is activated. Kind of frustrating, but when someone shares the secrets with the rest of us, it will be quite a nice install, I presume..
Also, with themes that are compatible with v1.56, are they still compatible with 1.6? Or do the new files need to be moved to the theme directory to make everything work right? I ask these questions because of the problem I seem to be having with not being able to find buddypress profile from the subsites.. I am being directed to the WordPress profile, not buddypress, from the subsites.
Apparently I am not as good as I thought. I knew I should have said more, but couldn’t think what it was. Here it is. The site is running WordPress 3.4.1. , BP 1.6. We looked harder and found that when he uses the Chrome browser is when the challenge occurs. Internet Explorer and Firefox work fine. There is less whining…
There is (was) a plugin bp-posts-on-profile at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-posts-on-profile/ though it is very out of date and hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress and BuddyPress.
I have tried it out with bp 1.6 and wp 3.4.1 and with a host of other bp plugins in a multisite and also in a multi-network local test site.
As far as Multi-Site/Multi-Network it was unsatisfactory as it only drew in blog posts from the main blog.
It did not draw in posts from (say) a group blog.
However for anyone who authored a post on the Main Blog it dragged in that post and showed it on their profile under the tab Posts
Those more qualified might look at the code and see if it would take much to have it brought fully up to date and multi-site compatible.
However as all relevant details including of posts are included in the members activity tab it probably is not as vital as other plugin development ?
On that note is there any kind of group funding facility for plugin development. So that those who want but can’t could collectively fund those who can ? or would something like that ever work ?
Hi
I am currently working on placing a buddypress installation on top of an existing bbpress / wp site. We are continuing to use buddypress sitewide forums for our site, with buddypress group forums for some more private conversations.
Got most of everything working, but noticed that in our sitewide forums we have rich text (TinyMCE) editing, but in our buddypress group forums, it is plain text. Being reasonably new to buddypress, is this a feature? Any way of getting rich text in our buddypress group forums?
Running:
bbPress Version 2.1.2
BuddyPress Version 1.6
WordPress Version 3.4.1
Solved it.
Use WordPress functions but you must declare $current_user as GLOBAL
`global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();`
Then you can reference:
`$current_user->user_login`
@mercime – I am new to Buddypress so I am slowly figuring things out. I use the same template for the groups and members. I use the template that came with BuddyPress when I installed it. I have noticed the redirects as well. I can try renaming the file folders, do I do that through cPanel or WordPress?
I have no idea how to attribute success (if any) to various methods employed.
In addition to the numerous plugins and captchas some sites have also added lines to the .htaccess file
Some have added (in addition to the various plugins).
The plugin Cookies-for-comments and the lines as suggested at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cookies-for-comments/
> using register instead of wp-sign-up
`RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.*$`
`RewriteRule ^register – [F,L]`
and also
`RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .register*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yoursite.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://lmgtfy.com/?q=spammer [R=301,L]`
So the .htaccess file begins like this
`# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.*$
RewriteRule ^register – [F,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .register*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yoursite.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://lmgtfy.com/?q=spammer [R=301,L]
# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION`
Frankly I have no idea how and whether any of this works. The best that can be said is that spam has been reduced considerably. Fingers crossed.
@4ella: I see now that Login Ninja is a paid ($15) Envato/WebFactory plugin. Only sold 135 copies. But when I tested the Captcha on the WebFactory site, it showed a standard WordPress login screen. But I’m using BuddyPress with its Registration screen (and currently using SI Captcha on that). Will it work on BuddyPress? Is that what you’re doing? Thanks.
@lunchgirl @modemlooper GRA4 has been removed from the WP Plugin Extend. It was “phoning home” without user knowing it among others #7 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/guidelines/
@lunchgirl if you’ve already installed/activated the plugin, I can only recommend that you delete it from your installation.
Thanks for all the help and feedback – this support forum is great!
Having had so many minor problems pop up, I decided to try and remove wordpress and start over. The reason was because I had done a scripted install via cPanel using “QuickInstall”.
So I did a manual install of wordpress, then installed BuddyPress, then installed BBPress.
Happy to report all the issues I had before are gone. Everything seems to be working as it should.
Agains, thanks for all the help!
Two solutions — simple link in profile header vs. profile tab
For the first: just add a link to the author archive (standard WordPress) for the displayed user in the member-header file.
For the second – Have a look at bp-skeleton component.
Create a really stripped down version which just contains the code to set up your screen (profile tab), and in there do a simple wp_query() loop with the author ID set to the displayed user ID.
