@slava – if you disable buddypress does your wordpress blog function normally? Is it giving you an error message? If so, what is the error?

HI, I’m using your Buddypress links plugin which I think is great but the only issue I have is that the ”Links” Link which is automatically added to the nav bar for my site also adds it to my subdomains which would be fine if it pointed the link on the subdomains to http://www.site/links like it does on the main domain. Instead on the subdomains it points to http://www.subdomain.site/links which displays a page not found error. -I’m using wordpress mu 2.9.2, the latest buddypress install and Buddypress links Version 0.4.1. Any thoughts on how to fix it or is the versions I’m running not compatible? I tried activating the pluin both site wide and not site wide and it happens in both cases. I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks
Mark

I don’t think you mean “flash slideshows”, what you’re really looking for is “jquery slideshows”. Just install a regular jquery WordPress plugin and activate it on your main website. Here’s one that I’ve used for a client’s site. I’ve disabled the links for the pictures, but you can set it to make each photo a link.

This is more of a workaround though.

Also, just wondering… what version of BP are you running? Did you try BP 1.2.4.1? If not, try upgrading to see if this issue is fixed in the new version.

Ah, you’re doing it from the BP frontend. No, there is no standard image uploader for BP, or even for WP as far as I know. (Sadly.)

Here are some examples of plugins that allow file uploads. Each takes a different tack. Maybe you can decide what you want to do based on them.

I wrote a plugin called Invite Anyone that doesn’t do quite what you are looking for (it doesn’t restrict registration) but it could be modified to do what you’re asking: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/

I have the same issue as you, did you find a fix or did you manually correct the links?

Depends how you’re doing it. If you’re using custom post types in WP 3.0, uploads should be enabled by default with the editor: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type

You might also want to try this plugin, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/, read the third option

“Administrators can specify certain profile fields that link to social networking profiles. If I enter my Twitter handle ‘boonebgorges’ into a field labeled ‘Twitter’, for example, this plugin will bypass the default link to a BuddyPress search on ‘boonebgorges’ and instead link to http://twitter.com/boonebgorges. See custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php to configure this setting.”

You might be able to hack it in a way that works for your site.

I use a plugin called CaPa Protect, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/capa/, maybe this could help you.

@jillsays – The process should be identical.

First, you need a deep integrated bbPress install. There are a bunch of tutorials about this; try this one:

Then add the recreate_bb_admin_bar() function from here to your bbPress theme’s functions.php file:

Hallo Hans, I have just gone through a lengthy process to find the right solution for paid membership for a buddypress site on a WordPress single installation.

If you are interested to find out more how I solved it – let me know. I am in Germany so I am also dealing with Language challenges and also foreign payment merchant solutions. Contact me directly if you want – gewinncoach. de

Hi guys,

the plugins you mentioned gasparking are not the solution. RUO 2 protects the complete site. S2 member protects certain pages (a great plugin) works ONLY with PayPal. Also the S2 plugin will manage your created pages and posts not standard integrated buddypress or wordpress functional pages.

I am also searching for a solution to only make the pages Hans mentioned available to registered / logged in users. It seems crazy that these pages are public pages and that there is no easy option within Buddypress to make them only visible to members.

Thanks for any advice / support upfront!

Peter

you might want to start with the wordpress documentation first ~ https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

To redirect users to their profile when logging in: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/

this plugin hides every pages ton non-registered users
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registered-users-only-2/

this one can hide specific pages / components

I have a similar environment to Andij: BuddyPress on top of WordPress (3.0b2), no subblogs, upgrading from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4.
Still customizing the BP_AVATAR_URL was not enough for me. I also had to customize BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH.

In the end, I have created the bp-custom.php file and added the two following lines (I have installed WP / BP at the root of my server):

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_URL’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER . ‘/wp-content/uploads’ );
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH’, $_SERVER . ‘/wp-content/uploads’);

I hope the need for those two lines will be removed in a next release of BP…

Hope it helps

id like to see the new wp 3.0 nav functionality added to the buddy press default theme
added to functions.php

to show the menu in header.php

mercrime did you get it to work? Because this doesn’t work. It breaks the Registration field.

I have BuddyPress 1.2.4.1 on a single instance of WordPress 2.9.2 and after Activating bp-registration options I get the following error in the Registration Page and the “Complete Sign Up” button disappeared.

undefined function get_current_site() in myserverpath……../wp-content/plugins/bp-registration-options/bp-registration-options.php on line 726

I have a BUG as well.

I have BuddyPress 1.2.4.1 on a single instance of WordPress 2.9.2

I set the Default Map Size to SMALL (300×225)
The “Guess it from user’s IP” is Disabled

The Tab reads “Custom Markers (0)” and I get a Warning above the
stretched map (640×480) …
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/a/t/o/atomiccafe/html/upoubams/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-maps/bp-maps-templatetags.php on line 210
And I get a stretched map (not 300×225) with no Marker.

Activity stream doesn’t have anything to do with WordPress post_types, which is why you find no documentation.
Look through, for example, groups_record_activity().

bp 1.2.4 alleluia, well done, thank you.
