BuddyPress.org

Looks solid, would love to check it out.

Hi Tosh,
What’s the easiest way for my users to view their points? I can’t seem to find a link on my profile page or the buddypress admin bar? Or is the only way to view your points is to go to the WordPress admin pages?

There’s one in /wp-admin/profile.php in the WordPress dashboard. Presumably you could look at how that’s working, and just reuse the code in your register.php in your child theme.

It looks like you need to increase the allocated memory limit for PHP. Depending on the way your hosting company has set up the servers, you might be able to do this yourself. If you’re on a shared hosting package, they might not allow you to increase the memory limit.

I suggest contacting technical support at Rackspace and tell them about the error message. Then ask them what is set in the server’s php.ini file for the value of the memory_limit directive. If Rackspace allows for this value to be overridden by Apache, then you can easily tell php to use more memory by adding this to the very top of your .htaccess file.

### Set PHP Memory Directive ###
php_value memory_limit 60M


As a final check, make sure that your site is running PHP5. Although WordPress does run under PHP 4, it also runs under PHP 5 and that is always better.

If this is all foreign to you, then perhaps Rackspace will do it for you.

For that to work as intended, you also need to set WP_LANG in your wp-config.php and load a nBb_NO translation for WordPress.

Maybe you will find this info from the Google SoC site interesting @derekbolden:

Title: Events Plugin for WordPress and BuddyPress
Abstract: Events have become an integral part of Social Networking; this plugin would also be useful for WordCamp.org – allowing people to handle WordCamp registration through the WordCamp site itself, etc.

This plugin will provide basic event functionality for plain vanilla WordPress installs and enhanced capabilities for BuddyPress installs by leveraging the new WordPress Custom post types and moving on from that.

Anyone tried using Posthaste Plugin or the TDO mini-forms with BP posting yet?

Now this is just my honest opinion, but I wouldn’t get it (this isn’t a slight against Lisa).

If you glance the TOC, it’s more of an introduction to BP, which is great if you don’t know anything about WordPress or BuddyPress and you’re just diving in. And, you’re right, you can find most of this info online.

If you are an intermediate developer (or if you’re experienced with WP), you can learn as you go and dig through the BP code and other BP plugin’s code.

FYI, WPMU.org is not an affiliate site.

Get to this screen in your WP admin panel:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_SubPanel

Set it to “Day and Name”. Save. Check your BP pages and see if they work.

Don’t worry about the .htaccess file for now.

Has anyone figured out how to use cubepoints with WordPress MU + Buddypress?

Didn’t Godaddy hosting get hacked this past week? http://blogcastfm.com/announcements/warning-massive-number-of-godaddy-wordpress-blogs-hacked-this-weekend/

Ahh okay, that’s what I thought!

At the minute once the user logs in it redirects the to their profile page. How and where do i include that code so the home button disappears?

Those are two different questions. Login With Ajax would help with the redirect. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/login-with-ajax/

As for the home button, in your header.php you just wrap is user logged in around Home. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/367625?replies=5 for a bit more (and some oddities people are having with it…)

Yep, you’ve got it exactly right – in /wp-admin/post-new.php.

If you want to let your users post from within the front-end, take a look at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-quickpress/. It hasn’t been updated in a long while so if it doesn’t work, hopefully someone else is aware of an alternate.

Yes, I meant what techguy said. If the original OP{ was using extra plugins for BuddyPress that gathered and used information across the site/network/whatever, then *those* items may not work properly if he downgrades to single WP.

Because you know someone’s gonna have a BP install with every extra BP plugin out there installed, will downgrade from MU to WP, then come back here screaming that stuff broke. I could also point to another thread where a user is wonder where the “recent siteiwde posts” widget is, but he’s running single WP not MU, so that’s why it doesn’t show up.

(tangent: some mu functions did get renamed in 3.0 but the current functions still exist. They are listed as deprecated though, so at some point plugins authors will need to catch up.

There’s also the fuzzy meaning of the word “features”. ;P )

And yes, waiting until 3.0 will make downgrading SO much easier…

There is some difference between WP 3.0 MultiSite and WPMU 2.9.2, but I don’t think any features are missing. I know some functions have been renamed (wpms versus wpmu) but for the most part, I thought @andrea_r meant what @techguy said.

@techguy – I’m aware of that. But andrea_r noted something different about some WPMU features (I’m guessing deprecated functions, unless I’m misinterpreting something).

r-a-y,
WP 3.0 will have all the same sitewide features as MU. That is if in WP 3.0 you click the option to allow multiple blogs on the same install. However if you don’t turn that on, then WP 3.0 will act like a single install of WP. I think that’s what Andrea_r meant.

If you’re on WPMU and want to move to the standard WP, you should wait for WP 3.0 to make that transition. With the merging of the code bases, it should be easier.

WordPress has this built in – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in
