    Hello my new community. I could really use your mentorship. I’ve started a website with WordPress / Buddypress and I don’t know anything about web development.

    One morning I decided to join a social networking site about landscaping, but I found none. However, I am really passionate about landscaping. So I decided to make the website.

    I started with Ning, but I learned I would not own the content. Then I tried Boonex / Dolphin, because it offered a software package that worked from the start, but I found it too restrictive (and expensive). My friend, a web developer by trade, told me about WordPress / Buddypress. Here I am.

    I envision a site that is as easy to use as Facebook. It has user albums / galleries. It has user blogs inside user profiles. It has a Pinboard section like Pintrist under user profiles where users can pin their dream landscape and garden ideas. It has a forum and wiki–all user driven. All of these features I want on one site (I think).

    I need the site to be as user friendly as possible, because many people who enjoy landscape and garden are not well adjusted to the internet (thinking of my in-laws).

    I welcome any sort of input–plugins, widgets, themes, books to read, pages to visit, twitter/RSS to follow. Anything!

    Thank you.

    Have you registered the buttons in your theme?

    https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L125

    `add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’, 5 );`

    I have been using WordPress for a few month for my new website. And there is one problem that have been troubling me. At first, it don’t really matter to the website, but as more registration came, this problem have become a big problem for me.

    User is able to register using the normal way, but the moment they are needed to activate their account, the activation link that they receive from the email is not functioning.

    I have tried to register myself, and the link from the email really didn’t do any thing, it just forward you to activation page and said provide a valid activation key.

    Any idea what have gone wrong ?

    I have provide my website register page below if anyone want to try it by yourself.

    Thank you.

    nothing yet asked him almost 3 days ago but didn’t get a reply here: http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/coupld-of-bugs-with-bp-mag-classic. so i had nothing better to do then looking into it myself, and I found this problem. read some tutorials about php codes. (else if) tried some different ways to implement it all failed.

    just wondering if the code looks okay like that. so i can search for the issue somewhere else. i will take a look in the bp default templates didn’t do that yet thanks.

    I was also afraid since it works on his bp mag classic demo its got nothing to do with the theme. and its once again an issue with my wordpress installation or host.

    I’m using bp mag and bp mag classic as my main theme. brajesh recently updated his themes and everything works fine. however if i activate bp mag classic i have a problem in this else if statement. the code is this

    if(bp_is_home()){
    do_action(“bpmag_member_options_nav”);
    }
    else if(bp_is_member ())
    bp_get_displayed_user_nav ();
    else
    bp_get_options_nav ();

    i have an issue with this:

    else if(bp_is_member ())
    bp_get_displayed_user_nav ();

    when I go to another member of my site it skips this and immediately goes to

    else
    bp_get_options_nav ();

    is there a bug in this code or something else.

    here is an image of what i’m talking about

    buddypress 1.5.5 wordpress 3.3.2. latests versions of bp mag and bp classic

    thanks in advance. hope someone can help me with this.

    p.s. yes i asked Brajesh also on his forum but just want to know if its a problem with this code or if it is more complicated.

    could you give me the idea for this above question?

    Set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on if not on main site – add following to your bp-custom.php file:
    `define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );`
    where you replace $blog_id with the blog ID number of subdomain/subdirectory site of your multisite installation – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

    As for themes – you can use a WordPress theme then install the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the BP Compatiblity process. Check if your WP theme has been “template-packed” in the list near bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

    Thanks for the reply sniper kitten (I like your avatar). I ended up installing a fresh copy of wordpress, getting multi-user going and then adding buddy press just to play around with everything. It seems have a lot of really great functionality. I am excited about the possibilities but I have run into one or two issues that give me pause. Perhaps you could offer a bit more sage advice?

    I noticed that the buddy press install seems to effect only my root site with the other sub domain sites being unaffected. Do you know of a way for buddy press to take effect on one of the sub domain sites instead of the root?

    The reason I ask is that I’d like for people to not land on the buddy press site upon trying to access my domain url. Instead I want visitors to my domain to land on a different wordpress site running a different theme.

    This might be possible in different ways. I considered just doing two totally different installs and using the first as my landing page and the second (with a different domain) as the buddy press site. This won’t work however, because I need to share users between the two sites and I think if they were in the same network that would be a lot easier.

    The second idea I had was if I could somehow fool the user’s browser into going to a subdomain site when the domain was entered into the browser URL field. That, of course, brings up the issue of how people would access the buddy press site at all.

    Any thoughts on how this might be done?

    You will need something like BP Group Management for easier management.

    If you want to limit group creation to admin, go to BuddyPress > Setting in your dashboard and check “Restrict group creation to Site Admins?”. You may also try BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation & add some rules so members can’t create a group until they reach the requirements

    If you have a child theme of bp-default theme, the simple way would be to copy over:

    a) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/create.php
    to wp-content/themes/YourChildThemeFolder/groups/create.php
    – above line 90 per linked file add “
    – below line 106 per linked file add “

    b) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/admin.php
    to wp-content/themes/YourChildThemeFolder/groups/single/admin.php
    – above line 69 per linked file add “
    – below line 87 per linked file add “

    Note that if you as Site/Super Admin don’t even want to create a hidden or private group yourself, then delete lines 90-106 from create.php and delete lines 69-87 from admin.php

    == I re-installed wordpress which fixed the issue. ==
    Glad you thought of it and that it was just a simple fix. Now if every issue brought here could simply be resolved with WP reinstall as well :-)

    Thank you for the advice unfortunately I did those already. I really have no idea what it could have been. It worked last night and today when I went to play with the site it just stopped working. I re-installed wordpress which fixed the issue.

    So here I am, derping around, admin’ing the WordPress board I volunteer for, and I see this message at the top of the screen on Dashboard:

    The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums. [REPAIR]

    What do I do? Repair it!

    Well, it works for half a day, and everything’s fine.

    Next day I log in to find all the forum posts ‘missing’. The topics are still there on the Dashboard, but completely gone from outside Dashboard.

    Oh crap! Revert any changes I made! So now the topics show up outside dashboard, but the links don’t go anywhere.

    Clicking a topic link goes to the link, but it loads up a blank page. I’ll also be posting this on the WordPress support forums.

    I’ve already google’d the problem. All the plugins I’m using, including Buddypress, are updated and running fine.

    I guess my real question is how I can magic all the posts and forum topics back to where they were before I screwed it up. I have a feeling they’re still somewhere in connection to the forums, but I have no idea where. If anyone has any help, I’d greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks very much,
    Cassie

    I recently noticed that when I try to create a group, start a topic or posting a forum reply, it’s taking about 30+ second before the topic/reply is show up. If you try to tell me there may be a “bad plugin” and try to disable all of it except bbPress & BuddyPress, save it. I have tried the following:

    1. Using different browser.
    I find out that when I try to use Firefox 12.0 to post, it’s loading extremely slow. But this is not happening in Internet Explorer 9 or Google Chrome 18.
    Try to start Firefox in safe mode? Yes I have tried to do that but it doesn’t make a difference.

    2. Using different user/computer.
    It’s still the same.

    3. Try to post a comment in a normal post / post an update.
    I was able to comment a post & post an update without any problems, so I think it may be a “bad plugin” problem.

    4. Disable all plugin (except bbPress & BuddyPress)
    But the same thing happen. FYI I don’t edit either the bbPress or BuddyPress files.

    5. Using different theme.
    I replace my modified custom community theme with BuddyPress Default theme and see if I putting bad codes in my theme. But this doesn’t solve problem even I tried other themes.

    6. Change permalink structure.
    It doesn’t make any changes, and I don’t think it will help.

    7. Reinstall WordPress, bbPress & BuddyPress
    Still doesn’t make any changes.

    8. Create a new install in another domain.
    I use http://scirefs.com/ as my main and http://www.scirefs.org as a sandbox (with the same configuration as in SCIREFs.com) with only bbPress and BuddyPress activated. But everything works fine in SCIREFs.org with either and I have no issue with slow response in Firefox 12.

    9. The Cloudflare……
    Since I have Cloudflare as my CDN for SCIREfs.com but not SCIREFs.org, I tried to remove SCIREFs.com from Cloudflare and add SCIREfs.org to it and see what happens. The result: The issue with Firefox at SCIREFs.com disappear but SCIREfs.org is now facing the old issue.

    Do anyone here have any ideas what’s wrong with it? Or someone here is facing the same problem?

    You can login to SCIREFs.org using the following information:
    Username: demo
    Password: demo
    Sitewide forums: http://www.scirefs.org/test-forums
    Group forums: http://www.scirefs.org/groups/test-group/forum/

    And try to start a topic or post a reply using Firefox and see if it’s happening to you.

    Hi. I’m in the process of building a new wordpress powered web site and I’d like to incorporate a social media component. I have a multisite install running and I would really like some advice before going with Buddypress.

    As I understand Buddypress, it aggregates blogs from across your network and adds social media functions similar to Facebook. I also know that you can turn off the Buddypress features you don’t want to use which is an attractive element because I know I don’t need all its features.

    On my network, new users will not be blogging themselves on their own sites. Instead they will sign up to belong to my network and become members only. They won’t really be going anywhere other than the main site on the network. I know that statement might prompt you to wonder why I’m using multisite at all but I don’t want to bore you with the details of the project.

    Members on my network have the power to, among other things, read and comment on blog posts. I would like my members to have their own profile pages and the power to form their own discussions or interact in other facebook-esque ways (status updates/likes/etc…). However, much like a traditional blog I want the articles written by myself and guest contributors to aways be the center of attention on the main blog-page.

    I’ve looked at a pluggin called Mingle and it seems to accomplish what I’m looking for but I get the impression that Buddypress really is the premiere social media engine for WordPress. Also, Buddypress needs its own theme and Mingle doesn’t which does make me a bit hesitant to go with Buddypress.

    My questions are:

    1. Even though my users don’t have their own blogs is Buddypress going to give me the functionality I
    described above or should I go with something less powerful like Mingle?

    2. Can anyone recommend a buddy press theme that would present my articles, front and center but still allow for the other social media type features I’ve previously described?

    Thanks in advance so much for your help. This is a major facet of my new site and I’d really hate to get it wrong.

    @raoulbeltra either within a plugin file or your themes functions.php
    You can read more at https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin

    From what i understand you are trying to do, then yes, just replace `echo do_shortcode(‘SexyButton’);` to whatever you want to show.

    Is there a way to add a title to a comment like I’m adding a title to this topic?

    I know you can do this in wordpress comments by default. I’d prefer to use a build in buddypress way of doing this instead of building something custom.

    Figured out a hackish way to do this.

    Added a title field. Then changed the form to /index.php so I can grab the POST variables. Then I search for index based on title in the category. Then I insert a the $_POST variable into a comment_title meta variable that gets associated with each comment.

    Found the problem after a zillion hours of looking. Its being caused by the “Bullet Proof Security” plugin and its version of the .htaccess file. The below link shows you how to get the missing code that needs to be copied into your “notes” section of BPS and saved. Once this is done, the problem goes away!

    I clicked to use this option but it still shows the blog post in the activity feed in wordpress?
    Any help.

    Here’s the fix for this particular problem.

    For me it had to do with my use of a security plugin called “Bullet Proof Security” and what it did to my .htaccess file. The link below shows you how to fix this. Just copy the code in your permalink settings on the dashboard at the bottom to your Notes, in the BPS panel and save that code, and the problem will go away. :)
