BuddyPress.org

A quick google reveals several bulk-import scripts and plugins for WordPress/MU. Have a look at http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/import-users-plugin-for-wordpress/.

Regarding bulk import of xprofile data: Manjor Kumar had done some BuddyPress-specific import plugins for a very early version, but I can’t vouch for if they still work:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-import-members-users/

and

WP 3.0 merges the functionality of WPMU into standard WP.

BP 1.3 will support WP 3.0:

https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/

@wordpresschina

With WPMU, you can use some nifty BP plugins like BP Group Wiki, BP Group Blog and BP Classifieds. These plugins do not work with the standard WP version of BP.

@gregfielding I had the same error (even though my aim was to use it in single wp), and found the following wordpress trac ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12078

That corrects the first error….

Brajesh Singh’s plugin:

add_filter("login_redirect","bpdev_redirect_to_profile",10,3);



function bpdev_redirect_to_profile($redirect_to_calculated,$redirect_url_specified,$user)

{

if(empty($redirect_to_calculated))

$redirect_to_calculated=admin_url();



/*if the user is not site admin,redirect to his/her profile*/

if(!is_site_admin($user->user_login))

return bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID );

else

return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/



}

I put it in bp-custom.php. Probably also works in functions.php.

He also has this essential logout redirect to homepage plugin. Both should have been default wp/bp behavior imho.

Redirect to User’s Profile Page on Login

Place the following snippet in either wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php or in your child theme’s functions.php file.

function oci_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){

$redirect_to = bp_core_get_userurl($user->id);

return $redirect_to;

}

add_filter('login_redirect', 'oci_login_redirect', 10, 3);

(alternate method)

Use Brajesh’s plugin (which does basically the same thing as above):

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/

This is nothing to do with BuddyPress; this should go on the WordPress forums.

If you are using IIS, you might have to follow the directions suggested here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite

I don’t think IIS supports mod_rewrite which is what WP uses (and BP).

Does your site work with BP installed?

@cpentleton & @xiv-studios: Sorry if I offended either of you.

BuddyPress has the unfortunate (and fortunate) ability to be installed via the plugin installer built into WordPress. Out of the box it is fantastic and very complex. This can create a very confusing and quite steep learning curve for anyone starting out.

@cpentleton: I look forward to your new topic. Hopefully it’s something I can give you a hand with. If not, I’m sure there will be a BP community member who can.

Hi Ron –

Hey thanks very much for your work on porting over Thematic for the BuddyPress platform.

General Question: Now that Themeshaper and Thematic are part of the WordPress core effort, do you look to see “great assimiliation” with WP3/MU, BuddyPress, and Thematic/Buddymatic?

TESTING 1.2 NOTES:

I am testing Buddymatic version 1.2, using the “Coffee with Friends” 1.0 child theme — on WordPress 2.9.2

* Yellow notice at top in admin to “activate a BuddyPress compatible theme” remains present, even after child theme activation. Notice disappears when default BuddyPress theme is used.

* Cannot add a new forum topic even though one group has been created

* GROUPS/FORUMS Functionality: Using Buddymatic with the “Coffee with Friends” child theme there are several problems that occur when attempting to set up forums and topics:

– Topic accepted under a new group, but does not appear in topic list

– Under forums link (http://SITE.com/forums/) no topics appear

– Attempts to create a new topic at the forums page does not happen — no group appears in the pop-down list

Thanks –

Scott

bbPress and Gravatar are Automattic projects, as is WordPress, BuddyPress and many others. Check the full list at http://automattic.com/.

jQuery is native to WordPress. In my custom theme I try to leverage what’s built-in as much as possible and jQuery is very flexible. This looks like the standard jQuery library conveniently packaged with some popular applications. I’m not sure what if anything it adds to what’s already in WP.

There are plugins that allow WP users to write posts without going into the backend. I think TDO Mini Forms (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tdo-mini-forms/) allows this. I’m not that familiar with the plugin though.

I think there is also a “quickpress” type plugin to allow the same as what the “quickpress” function does on the main dashboard in WP.

there is a new version of this plugin that a bunch of us are working on that might supersede the one listed above:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/

Try using is_user_logged_in() and/or bp_loggedin_user_avatar()

Why don’t you just use the default oEmbed class in WordPress?

https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

http://www.viper007bond.com/2009/10/13/easy-embeds-for-wordpress-2-point-9/

Shortcodes work like this:

[embed]youtube link[/embed]

You can enable oEmbed support across all blogs with the New Blog Defaults plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/

I repeat myself:

BuddyPress 1.2.* isn’t built or tested for compatibility with WP 3.0-Alpha yet.

That will come in BuddyPress 1.3.

You have to create a page in the admin and choose the widget page template for that page. If you have latest version you have two page template options.

If wordpress theme repo would allow I would include screen shots and a better how to. They don’t give us the same repo as plugins.

I don’t see a Blog option show up with latest trunk of WP 3.0 and latest trunk of BP so did BP disable the blog under current trunk?

If you want to use an existing WP theme, use the BP Template Pack plugin to add BP functionality to your WP theme:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

You didn’t follow the instructions:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/367781

BuddyPress *doesn’t* ever write to the .htaccess file; you probably mean WordPress itself.

Same problem here but I reverted back to the previous version 1.0.2.1 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facestreamownload/

That version doesn’t sync from FB to BP but at least you can submit statuses to FB from BP
