BuddyPress.org

The P2 theme has some elements of what you mentioned. It’s not a BP theme though, so you’d have to develop a custom theme. P2 is also used in the new version of the BP group blog plugin.

The same way they did before, just go to wp-admin and publish posts like you used to do.

BuddyPress only adds, it doesn’t remove any core features from WordPress.

This is nothing to do with BuddyPress, hackers can just try logging in as admin on your login form and find the same thing.

Number one thing to do when you first install WordPress is to change the admin account to something else. WordPress 3.0 will allow you to change this when you first install.

You can edit the admin username in your database in the wp_users table. Change the user_login and user_nicename value.

1.3 will use WordPress pages for navigation, so you can just add/remove/move pages around to edit the main navigation.

BuddyPress is definately what your looking for if you need profiles inside wordpress. But you will have to adjust your theme to be buddypress compatible before you can actually fully use buddypress.

The “Are you sure” message usually means you’re having a nonce error. If you’re submitting a post or comment or some other data with your plugin, check the core code that usually handles that data and see if there’s a check admin referer in there. Google wordpress nonce to learn about how that works.

The issue is simple… bp-events is essentially the only option and there’s been a lack of communication from Erwin. So now we know. Good. Time to move on. I can now tell my organization that we have a plan going forward and that we can finally launch our site. We’ll just have to use a regular WordPress calendar instead of bp-events. Not ideal but it’s the best we can do. I’m fine with whatever… as long as I have a plan.

Hello I am currently running WordPress 2.9.2 and Buddypress 1.2.1

I have this plugin installed on a test site that I have and from what I can tell, tinymce shows up on the content boxes on activity pages, profile pages, forums (starting a new topic) as well as replying to a forum post. However while on the forum pages once you input some content and press post, everything works fine (minus styling to the blockquote element), even though tinymce shows up in other areas once you hit “post” you get an error saying “Please enter some content to post”.

I have tried this in Firefox 3.6, Chrome 4.1.249.1042 and IE7 so far and while Chrome and IE7 always give you the error when trying to post from any area other than the forums, Firefox will give you the error but if you refresh the page and press post again the content will post.

Would seem like to plugin does just what you want in terms of the forums area and would be fine for me if I could disable it in the other areas unless there is a fix or workaround for the other areas.

In any event thank you and good luck to those who can fix this.

fyi, i installed this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

When i used the standard php_mail option it does not work, if i use smtp mailing it works.

As mentioned before private messaging between users is sending out notifications without any problem (without plugin). Is there any difference between the mail functions here ?

@foxly your flexibility and willingness to work with everyone is commendable. This will a strongly highlighted feature at my WP Meetup presentation this Sat

if anyone is around DFW and interested

See this thread for possible plugins that can help you out with hosts that restrict mail sending.

You’ve more or less got the structure correct.

– I don’t believe “title” is a valid attribute for li and ul tags. If your goal is to display the word “Community”, you’ll have to put it outside the tag like so:

<li>Community...

– I assume that your purpose is to make the Community submenu (Activity, Members, etc) a dropdown menu that is invisible except when you hover over the header Community. That’s a CSS issue. I recommend you find a WordPress theme (or any website, really) that has such a feature, look at the source code and especially the CSS, and emulate the necessary rules. You could also check out a tutorial, like the “horizontal” menu bar described here: http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/tutorial/.

Good luck!

I first of all want to say that I support Erwin all the way in what he is saying as I know that the effort involved in getting a piece of decent code out there is huge and doing it all for free is a big ask. This is especially so when such code could quite happily be used in commercial organisations who most definitely will charge for the services that they provide.

It seems to me that the eco-system surrounding a product like WP/BP is one that we are still coming to grips with but in essence it seems that there is a move to basic functionality/service for free and that additional usage/features will attract a fee. According to the Mashable review of the recent talk by WP Founder Matt Mullenweg this is how Automattic supports its operations.

So why should a plugin developer not expect the same? Perhaps the future of such development should be along the lines of groups of coders providing a freemium type service so that there is a basic level of functionality and you pay for the extras.

Andrea , I don’t think so, have latest versions of wpmu/bp and downloaded latest version I can find, for instance buddymatic is https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddymatic and the auto install on wmpu. This is the same for Sense and Sensibility, btw. white screen o’ death

Please either PM Dave or post on Dave’s support site for his plugin:

Dave doesn’t frequent these forums often.

You can try purging blog posts from the BP activity table and then using the following plugin by Boone Gorges:

I’m having the same problem and I have version 1.2.6. Is this a settings error or a bug?
