Hi, I’m new to BuddyPress, just installed it on my new WordPress site to work with the BuddyPress Business theme by WPMU Dev. Are there any manuals or tutorials anywhere for BuddyPress? If so, where can I find them? Thanks. Loribella
As the title says, I have a fresh install of Buddypress on a fresh install of WordPress but the pages that Buddypress created come up as 404 errors when I try to go to them, even from within the WordPress admin panel.
Thoughts?
Yeah I tried it and was almost perfect for what I needed but I needed to limit the hierarchy so that only core groups could make sub groups instead of it being infinite.
I did post on there forums but no replies with no luck
I’m still learning WordPress and Buddypress and browsed the code but couldnt see how I would limit them.I’m wanting to use the WordPress Access Control plugin to toggle whether the forums button appears in the menu depending on if the user is logged in. To do this, I should simply go into the ‘Forums’ page settings and select for it to only show for logged in users, as per the plugin.
Now this is where things are a bit peculiar. My sitewide forums are working fine (I can navigate to and use http://www.domain.com/forums), but I don’t have a ‘Forums’ page defined in BP pages. Furthermore, the page just doesn’t exist according to the WP backend. And as it doesn’t exist, I can’t manipulate the menu item to display only when logged in like a page I just created, ‘About Us’ for example.
I know the hard coded solution to this is fairly straight forward, but as it works for other pages already, the plugin route keeps things as easy to change as possible.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that I will be restricting the page access using the BuddyPress Private Community plugin and not simply removing the menu item for unregistered users.
So there you have it. Does anyone have any idea as to how I can retrieve (and by all accounts create for the first time) my ‘Forums’ page?
Thanks,
Andy.Hello,
I’m using WordPress 3.3.2, BuddyPress 1.5.5 and BuddyBoss template.
I just installed the ‘Achievements 2.3’ and ‘BuddyPress Member Profile Stats’ (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-member-profile-stats/) plugins today. I faced some challenges in displaying the # of forum topics and posts.
Here are my questions. For Achievements 2.3, under Event -> Forums
The user creates a new group forum topic.
The user deletes a group forum post.
The user deletes a group forum topic.
The user modifies a group forum post.
The user modifies a group forum topic.
The user replies to a group forum topic.Q1. May I know these options are for ‘Site Wide Forums’ or ‘Forums for Groups’?
Q2. I’m using ‘Site Wide Forums’. I wanted an Event where when user creates a new topic, they will be rewarded auto with an ‘Achievement’. Is that possible?
Q3. May I know how can I make the # of forum topics and posts display? Right now, under Dashboard -> BuddyPress -> Pages, I need to leave the ‘Discussion Forums’ to -None- in order for my ‘Site Wide Forums’ to work properly.
Please help. I wanted to launch my social site asap but all these technical issues are causing me headache.
Let me know if you need the ftp details of my site. I can send it over.
Appreciate if you can help.
Thank you!
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your in-depth reply. I will probably circumvent the default WordPress comment system and fully use Disqus. I sent an email to the Disqus team, however I’ve got a feeling that I’ll need to purchase their professional add-on package to get their full support on the implementation. From the information outlined in the OP article, I’d say that this was the route that the Telegraph.co.uk took as well in order to get your three way system up and running?
I’ll see what I can come with

Hello All,
At my wits end. Please help.
Wordpress = 3.3.2
Buddypress = 1.5
Theme = Custom Community (free)In the wordpress menu I would like to add a link to the buddypress user profile. I would like to create a new tab on my main menu called “My Profile” that redirects to the unique buddypress user profile page. My problem is that these links are dynamic based on the username.
What I would like to achieve:
–>User1 logs in and clicks on http://website.com/my-profile and is redirected to http://website.com/members/user1/profile/–>User2 logs in and clicks on http://website.com/my-profile and is redirected to http://website.com/members/user2/profile/
What do I need to do to make this happen?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-John
Hi there!
I currently work for the Telegraph, so have first-hand knowledge. If you want to use Disqus, you need to get user authentication going between WordPress and Disqus. At the Telegraph, we have our own in-house authentication system, too, so we’ve got a three way connection between our system, WordPress, Disqus. It’s as tricky as it sounds, and it’s not perfect.
We also have to use the Disqus Single Sign On feature, which you have to pay money for.
Disqus do have a WordPress plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disqus-comment-system but as I understand, it syncs between WordPress comments and Disqus comments (it never looks like you’re using Disqus).
I would suggest either using Disqus comments fully or WordPress comments fully. Not a mixture. Requiring people to sign in to Disqus via FB or TW I don’t think will realistically be a problem, as a lot of users have those social media accounts already. If you absolutely must have the Disqus / WordPress user authentication going, I’d suggest you get in contact with Disqus support at http://disqus.com/support/ and see what their thoughts are.
If you learn something, do share

Topic: Group dropdown menu
Hi,
Can anyone point me in the right direction for creating a simple dropdown menu that lists all active groups?
Just to give you some details, we want one page that has a dropdown menu in the middle listing all groups so when users select a group from the menu they are taken to the group page. I know wordpress does a simple dropdown categories version but can’t figure out how to do this with Buddypress.
Thanks in advance.

Hey all,
I am looking to install both Buddypress and DISQUS into a WordPress site that I’m developing. I am looking to get a similar system going as the The Telegraph were registered users can comment using their BuddyPress profiles, while non-registered users can comment via their social media media profiles for convience : http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/kateday/100044509/telegraph-communities-the-arrival-of-disqus-and-buddypress/
Does anyone know how do you this? I’ve been searching for quite some time and I’ve found no information on this subject. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
James
