BuddyPress.org

@wordpresschina – I also tested over the weekend and it worked great for me. But I have one issue I would love to be able to solve…

The e-mail sent out to the new users is the standard WP e-mail (with username, password (sutogenerated) and link to standard WP login screen) and not the one from BuddyPress. I would like to do the following.

1) Change the text of the e-mail.
2) lead people to a custom login page

I know this is not part of the plugin for Ning, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, unfortunately I cannot help you with your two issues, I don’t mind that the username is the name (it actually helps me) and I am not importing any date information, so I don’t have the issue. The best I can do is wish you the best of luck.

Any help on my two above issues would be greatly appreciated.

Just to clear up what @mercime and @hnla said, BP 1.2.4 was, in fact, released to not only fix outstanding issues in the 1.2.x branch, but to also improve support for WP 3.0:

This highly anticipated version provides fixes to 74 reported tickets and adds improved support for WordPress 3.0 to help ensure a safe and worry free upgrade. (https://buddypress.org/2010/05/buddypress-1-2-4/).

There has been a ticket reported as stated in a earlier post to this topic. From looking at Trac, it looks like there might be a 1.2.5 release since WP 3.0 won’t be out until mid-June at the earliest, and the BP 1.3 branch can’t really be finalized until WP 3.0 is stabilized/finalized. This is obviously an issue people are having, so if anyone wants to go and add some info to the ticket about your setup it would likely help get the issue resolved.

@r-a-y I have BP on several installs of WPMu (all latest versions) with the same results. http://terryhall.biz (root site) & http://wp4seo.com (secondary site) – the avatars are not active links but the user name has a link ~ http://geeky.terryhall.biz/author/mrcleam which is not pulling avatar from http://terryhall.biz/members/mrclean –
Comment avatars are working. This was not a problem in BP 1.2.3 ~ is the “bp_root_blog” a new feature? Seems to be related to capability….

@yocalif The wordpress version should be showing at the bottom when you login to the dashboard. For buddypress, you can go into the plugins and it’ll list each plugins version number.

@yocalif

For buddypress, you can start with the readme.txt in the downloaded file
For WPMU, you can start with this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU

I just tried this on WordPress 3.0 RC2 and Buddypress 1.2.4 and have exact same issue as @brett (3 weeks ago). If I type activity after the main url I can see the stream… Trying to upgrade to 3.0 to fix the timestamp issue with personal messages, but this issue is worse so re-loading back to 2.9.2 until this issue is resolved….

Hi Kaberi,

Same problem here. Has anyone got any idea how this might be solved? Everything else seems to be working perfectly.

Perhaps there is a setting somewhere I have not got right, but given you testing, seems that it is not me or my settings.

Love BuddyPress but this is quite a big issue IMHO, any suggestions to solve it would be warmly welcomed.

PS Am using subdomains for guest blogs, could that be the issue?

“Is this post by Andy Peatling (“”No firstname/lastname because this does not work for a lot of international users.”“) still the official position or have things moved on?”

Nothing has changed, so I assume it remains the official Automattic position and have given up on Buddypress. I’ll continue to develop my sites as “custom code” on WordPress 3.0.

Hi,

I just found a solution to the problem and it works fine now.

Paul: Could you tell me which wordpress is better for buddypress? I’ve been using buddypress+WPMU almost 5 months and buddypress+WPSU about 1 month, but I couldnt make decision which one is better for buddypress..

thank you for your great work! I have installed the theme locally . i get this error message when trying to view live:

Fatal error: Class ‘BB_Query’ not found in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums.php on line 318

also the css seems to be all messed up with most of the screen white.

thanks

I modified the “Manual Approve” plugin by Matt Kern to work with BuddyPress (don’t think he published it to the WordPress repository). I think that may be your answer to approving manually. Just put it in mu-plugins.

It looks like the dev probably wrote it on Windows and it used upper case but when it went into the wordpress repo, it went in as all lower case. You have to change the case of the folders to BP-Group-Control for it to work. I didn’t want to just change the file in case there were other dependencies.

Read this for a possible solution:

I’m running BP 1.2.4.1 and it’s working for me.

If you activated BuddyPress sitewide, this should work across all sites.

A child theme is basically a stylesheet with a tag telling WordPress to use another theme as its foundation.
Then you can inherit all the templates that foundation theme uses and you can also override these templates in your own child theme.

Please read the article I linked to and start reading from the “Let’s start building” section.
If you have any questions about it, please list them.

@nuprn1 – Ahh okay, I thought Nick was talking about this:
http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/comment-reply-via-email-open-to-all/

The “Post via Email” option you mentioned isn’t available in WPMU, which is what I have on my testbox.
Am wondering if this option is available in WP 3.0 in network mode?

An interesting plugin idea indeed! The only thing I’m worried about is the email address that users will be sending to. It could get potentially hammered! I know this will definitely not work well on shared hosts.
