BuddyPress.org

Try using is_user_logged_in() and/or bp_loggedin_user_avatar()

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

Shortcodes work like this:

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

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:

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

The plugin wordpress Hashcash (updated today to 4.5.1) should now work for BuddyPress registration but it stops EVERYBODY from registering.

This is not true for me. I just registered a test user with Hashcash 4.5.1 installed. Though still waiting to see if it stops BP splog spammers.

This is going to come across wrong but…

Buddypress functionality works out of the box. You install the plugin and everything works. What doesn’t work out of the box is all of the styling required to fit Buddypress into your current site design (assuming you don’t want to use the default theme).

If you currently use a stock downloaded theme for your WordPress site and have never made any changes to it, or mucked around with CSS and HTML then hiring someone to do this stuff for you might be the best approach.

Now, that said, once someone spends some time learning about CSS, HTML and how WordPress themes and plugins work, it’s really not that difficult to make changes.

There are very helpful people here but they can’t do everything for you. We can point you in the right direction but much like any education, you need to do some homework on your own.

Something to do with owner permissions.

Do a search on google for “wordpress upload owner permissions”.

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

It will walk you through it.

EDIT:

Sorry I misread your question. I thought you where looking to edit a WP theme.

I found the hooks but I cant figure out to give points to poster/author instead of logged in user.

I want posters to get points when someone else likes their post or comment etc. a sitewide point system.

Like:

if( function_exists(‘cp_alterPoints’) && is_user_logged_in() ){

cp_alterPoints(the_author_ID(), 5);

}

This is what the docs says:

cp_alterPoints( int $uid, int $points )

Parameters

int $uid: ID of a WordPress user. To get the ID of the current logged in user, use the cp_currentUser() function.

int $return: Number of points to add to the specified user.

Sorted. Thank you r-a-y for pointing me in the right direction.

I created a child theme, copied the header files into it. Changed the above two lines so they pointed to mysite.com instead of mysite.com/wordpress that they were originally pointing to.

Thank you once again.

I’m really pleased with your help, and with the result.

hi Mike

That’s great

well, you may give this a try

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-end-editor/

hi there

Well, currently Buddypress allows users to change the text/their images(gravatar) etc. So most of the thing you want is already there.

For your second question, I don’t think there is a plugin which allows selecting font size/color, so this is something which you will not get out of the box.

You may want to take a look at Boone’s plugin tinyMCE for Buddypress. That allows posting rich text data.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-tinymce/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-css-drop-down-menu/

Would this allow for the main site to not be a BuddyPress site but the main WordPress MU domain (www.mydomain.com).

Then when a new blog is created it would be it’s own buddypress private social area, lets say for company XYZ.mydomain.com.

Then employees from XYZ could come to XYZ.mydomain.com and register from there?

This is what I’m trying to do with my requirements I have. If we are looking for the same thing maybe we can help each other and forward the answer to each other when we find it.
