BuddyPress.org

Hi ipstenu, I have used https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/ in an install with community similar to what you posted above with success

@novicer – Try using the BP Template Pack plugin with your WP theme:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

I would like to know this one too.

If you search wordpress plugins you can find the inbox stats.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/inbox-widget/

What I’m looking for is the “stats” plugin or modification I can use like the one on this site too.

I’ve tried the installation a few times on WAMP, MAMP and multiple installations on the same server … It should be important to note that THIS site bp.org has the same avatar uploading issues with this new template/release.

This is my htaccess file, which makes the avatar cropper work, but I still get the upload error after :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

WordPress loads the database from the setting in your Wp-config.php file. Once your new server or db is setup, just import a copy of your current db into it and update that config file.

In part that depends on how big a BP install you’re going to have. I would read this: http://wpmu.org/dedicated-or-shared-hosting-for-wordpress-mu/

Basically you’d look at it the same way you’d look at a WPMU site. How much traffic, how many users, how many groups and forums etc etc.

I just used: registered users only 2
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registered-users-only-2/

Worked perfectly on activation.
Then went into my login.php and added the client’s logo to the login page – as Register plus didn’t seem to want to upload the logo for me.

@hnla VHOST is not required for wordpress but is required for wordpress mu/multisite in case you want them to function as subdomain.domain.
@bstats
You should do two things and the problem should be solved.
1. Check Mod_rewrite is enabled or not(as @travel-junkie has pointed). If you are on wamp 2.0, you can left click on the wamp icon(in the quick taskbar, the half cirecle icon)->Slect Apache(from the menu)->Apache Modules->rewrite_module(If it is not having a tick, click over that). Refresh the wordpress page and check is it working or not.
2.Once mod rewrite is checked you can try enabling/disabling permalink and resave it and Most probably it is going to work.

No, it’s not WordPress. Personally I use Xampp, so I’m not familiar with Wamp. Somewhere in your Wamp files there will be a file called http.conf. That’s the apache configuration file. There you can control what modules are being loaded by your test server. Look for that file, open it and then look for this line

`#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so`

and remove the #

Then restart Apache.

Sorry about the php.ini reference in the post before. Mixed that up…

In that case I’d suggest creating an installation with the same versions used originally on another server or local dev environment and seeing if that makes a difference, if it’s a server config issue maybe or some other mis-configuration somewhere.

@stwc problem is, I’m using wordpress in a different folder than the root of the domain. So my WP files live in domain.com/wordpress/ and my “wordpress blog” is at domain.com.

I was told by sever people, including r-a-y that I need to change the “buddypress default domain” or something of that nature. I was told to put this code in my functions.php file, but it doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

// Getting rid of the subfolder in URLs/permalinks
function my_bp_override_core_domain() {
$domain = get_bloginfo(‘url’);
return $domain;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_get_root_domain’,’my_bp_override_core_domain’);

Yeah, but poor @Chad Holden isn’t so lucky

@ipstenu

Everything works fine on our site. Media library, post media, avatars…

more or less, you can test it out over on:
http://mystique.bp-theme-converts.com

I’ll zip it up if you want tomorrow.

Has anyone made this BuddyPress-compatible yet?

hi
For your first question, you may want to try this plugin
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/
checkout this thread too
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/moderate-members/

For the second, yes, It is possible. Just go to SiteAdmin->Options and select the radio box which says only logged in users can create blog.
PHp5 may be an issue, better why not ask your server adminstrator to upgrade.

that is depressing since I am a complete die hard fan of simple facebook connect – http://ottopress.com/wordpress-plugins/simple-facebook-connect/ I hope it doesn’t die out. Let’s just see how it all plays out in the future devs. Thanks for the heads up

As andrea_r said, you can’t. More precisely, it’s not a supported or advertised feature of WordPress.

If you’re comfortable working with PHP and WP themes, you could try something like this: http://ryanpricemedia.com/2007/04/08/howto-include-wordpress-widgets-in-post-or-page-body/

*ponder* It doesn’t make any sense to me, except maybe it’s PHP setup. Can you add an image to a regular blog post outside of BP?
