Hi, i made a fresh install of wordpress network and buddypress 1.6 then promote a user to group mod. but when that user click admin on the group page, it is showing the “You are not an admin of this group.” msg. this doesn’t happen when I test version 1.5.6.
I am now going to see if I have any luck with the Email Users plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/email-users/
FYI, the BuddyPress development team has rejected my enhancement request to implement a Community Notification Capability (see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4381).
1. What Woo theme are you using? We have compiled a list of “template-packed” themes near bottom of https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
2. correct naming for the files needed for 2nd option of theme compatibility
buddypress-header.php should be header-buddypress.php
and
buddypress-sidebar.php should be sidebar-buddypress.php
Otherwise your changes will be implemented at all.
First, let me apologize for probably frustrating you with such a common issue!
I have tried to edit the files, and have successfully managed to get the content appear in the right place, but no matter what I try the sidebar still appears in the footer, rather than beside the main content.
I only edited the buddypress-header.php and buddypress-sidebar.php
I am using the latest versions of buddypress ad wordpress.
Thanks!
Yes, Buddypress can be installed on a subdomain as a single WordPress install. The subdomain will be your siteurl and blogurl;
I have a hook into the WordPress Add New User process via an `add_action(‘user_register’, ‘doMyFunction’);` hook.
What results is that I am (Step 1) adding a new user through WordPress and then (Step 2) having to add the same user to BuddyPress in order to get the user fully activated in WP/BP with the proper role.
I would prefer to just add a new user/member once through the Buddy Press Add User page and have it go through my hooked function.
Is there a Buddypress hook I should change too on the hook I show above in order to eliminate the 1st step described in my process?
Thanks for helping.
I would like to have a situation where one user can write a document, and another can proofread and edit it. All privately. There doesn’t seem to be any direct way to do this – is there maybe a workaround? If you know of another plugin which may be more suited to this task, that would also be helpful.
I’m currently running:
Wordpress 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.5.6
BuddyPress Docs 1.1.24
Thanks a lot
On the registration page for my site the ‘Name’ option already has text in it, presumably from a previous user who signed up.
It now seems some people are not noticing this when they register and so I now have several users all with the same name.
There is also a drop-down input box on the page which offers a list of options. One of these options is already selected, when it should not be.
Not all the field on the registration page are behaving incorrectly in this page. For example the Usernasme, Email address and Password fields are empty.
How can I make the Name and drop-down input box behave the same way?
I’m currently running:
Wordpress 3.3.2
Buddypress 1.5.5
I have the W3 Total Cache plugin (0.9.2.4) which may be interfering. I also have the SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam (2.7.5) and Wangguard (1.4.5) plugins which may be related to what’s happening.
Thanks for your reply @Paul Gibbs. Yes, I am using bbPress 2.1, BuddyPress 1.6 RC1 and WordPress 3.4.1.
I’ve done what you say above but I still see no changes on my site. The group forums are still working fine the same as before and the bbPress sitewide forum is still working fine the same as before. But I can’t see any signs of integration between the two.
What should I see? For example, should the group forums be listed in the main bbPress forum too, under the “group forums parent” selected in WP-Admin>Settings>Forum that you refer to above?
@sydneydesigner You need bbPress 2.1, BuddyPress 1.6 (any version of, incl. the RC1), and WordPress 3.4.1.
Disable the Groups Forum component inside the BuddyPress components setting page in wp-admin, then go to Settings > Forum. This is the bbPress settings page. Scroll right down to the bottom, and you’ll see some new settings to enable the forums.
Release notes are still being written up, sorry. There’s a high-level overview in https://buddypress.org/2012/07/buddypress-1-6-beta-2/ for now.
I would suggest you start by only trying to get WordPress working (no plugins or custom themes). Once you have custom permalinks working, then move on to BuddyPress and bbPress.
If it doesn’t work in WordPress, I would suggest asking for help / searching for help on the WordPress.org forums as people will have found themselves with this problem before. 
Hello! I am new to wordpress, I installed the plugins: BuddyPress and bbPress and all pages show me that error.
I work in MS Win7 with Apache 2 and PHP 5.
I enabled the mod_rewrite.so in the httpd.conf file and changed the AllowOverride attribute value from None to All, from the Directory tab, but just does not work
When I change the Permalinks to default, do work.
I wonder if I did something wrong.
BuddyPress Groups Extras or Groups plus i can’t remember which ones crashes group forums even after deactivated and deleted. I had to start back over with a fresh install of wordpress
For some reason buddypress.org is extremely slow and it takes me forever to find what I want. God forbid I click on something that doesn’t give me what I want, I won’t find out for at least 5-10 seconds. Why is this site so much slower than wordpress.org? It’s not the end of the world, but it’s a bit disappointing when I’m trying to find answers to my questions through the forums.
How do I order Groups so they always show up alphabetically as the default (instead of last active)? I have BuddyPress 1.5.6 and WordPress 3.4.1 Thank you!
Thanks Paul,
I’ve just created a new trac ticket. If anyone else is having the same problems and want to follow up on it, the trac ticket is here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1915
BP mobile does not affect the WordPress admin. At least it shouldn’t. The theme error is not that important, it’s just a notice and does not affect BuddyPress. You can install the BuddyPress Extended Settings plugin that has a setting to stop that theme notice.
I’m a little confused by your post. Are you saying when you are in the WordPress admin on a mobile device the option to add a featured image is missing from the Add new post page?
Does this occur when using the bp-default theme as the desktop theme?
Are you using another plugins that could cause this?
Sure. Make a ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ and we’ll look into it for a future release. If you are able toacreage a patch for this change, it’d get into BP quicker.
Additionally, when I answer the “What’s New in X” question, it posts my reply twice….then both disappear! Something weird is going on – it wasn’t broken before. I am using BP 1.5.6 and WordPress 3.4.1. Thanks in advance!
Thanks very much for your replies. The ConstantContact API hadn’t responded via the WordPress forums so I thought I’d try you. The CC integration is pretty critical for me, if it doesn’t work, then I probably can’t use Buddypress.
The CC API support doesn’t say whether it works with BuddyPress or not. I’ve just realised that I hadn’t tagged the forum post correctly so they might not have picked it up, I’ve done this now, so maybe I’ll hear from them.
It’s hard for me to give any further information. If I switch BP off and S2members on, CC fields appear as I’d expect, switch BP on and S2members off and nothing appears on the BP registration screen.
I’m a little puzzled (sorry) about what you are trying to do. Are you trying to add wordpress pages to the group / member directory menu?
Just to be clear, what you are saying is that there are a number of things you think BuddyPress fails at with regards to social content sites and you’d like to see changed? If so I’d recommend you either / or post this in the Requests / Feedback section (it may get lost in this section) and also look to open tickets if you think it’s a valid enhancement request or bug https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
See “Plugins API” on https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress.org_API and the plugins_api() function in WordPress.
