BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress utilizes bbPress only for the groups component.

This doesn’t limit you from using using phpBB or vBulletin!

There are a few scripts out there that can integrate phpBB and vBulletin into WordPress.

I’d suggest checking those out.

Are you able to receive emails regularly in WordPress?

eg. when someone posts a comment on your blog or when a new user registers for your site?

The groupblog_blog_id should hold a single value. If this isn’t the case it is misfiring somewhere. Did the following post help at all? Please follow the instructions there and see if you can clean up the meta table. This should not be a problem in 1.4.4, but 1.4.3 causes issues.

Thanks everyone for the tips and tricks, I’ll be checking this page again!

It’s strange but the moment I upgraded to WP2.9.2 and BP 1.2 spam started again.

Previously, I just added SI Captcha and I went from getting 10-20+ spam registrations to none. I added WP-hashcash now and I’ve only had one registration since.

I’ve just disabled the blog registration on the signup page, hopefully that’ll help too.

By the way, there’s also a meta tag in the header of many templates :

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.9.2" />

Removing that may help too….

My registration link is broken too. I’m using the latest versions of everything (WPMU), no active plugins except BuddyPress and WordPress.com Stats, no custom language, and the default theme. Any ideas?

Make a page in the back-end admin area, make a custom wordpress page, by adding a comment with the template name in the top (https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates). After throwing this file inside your themes folder, you get a dropdown on the right side of your page editings page, select the file and you can use normal tags like get_header(); in the php file of the custom page template.

This is the only correct way to make a custom wordpress page as far as I know.

Is it now compatible with a single WordPress 2.9.2 install (for only one blog) with BP1.2.1? or do we have to wait for WP3.0

Does this post help at all: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/371370?replies=4#post-1427856

Do you have access to your db?

doesn’t work with 1.2

in desperate need of some more widgets.

@snark

In response to your points up top:

1)

+1 Favorites sometimes = bookmarks in social networking sites. We need to be able to offer this across all types of communication features.

2)

Theme developers need to be able to pull this info in with a loop. Maybe we can already?

3)What is the current state of Favorties plugin development, and is there something in the works that can accomplish the above?

There is the BuddyPress-Like plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/

The problem with BP Like is that it now competes with Favorites built-in to BP 1.2. I need to be able to turn off Favorites so that BP Like isn’t confusing/repetitive.

But really, this is something should be rolled into core.

@Peterverkooijen

Forums, yes, were part of an older web community – it was the sole way they communicated. With the advent of social networking came the creation of new ways to communicate. Forums were given less focus but they still have there place. Even today in Facebook you can clearly identify forum-esque features.

I don’t think BP has ever focused on forums. It’s always been on the activity stream/wire. Of course, forum topics are now tied to the activity stream – as they should be – but does not in any way give BP a “schizophrenic” identity.

I’m having the same issue – so there’s a conflict between BP blogs and wordpress single user?

Did you do this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Yes, WordPress MU will do what you need without BuddyPress at all.

@MrMaz Does 0.4 will allow to integrate BP links within groups on single WordPress install?

I also get the same error on a fresh installation of wordpress….

Hi Ron. Thanks again for this – it will mean I won’t have switch themes mid-development to integrate BuddyPress into a project. Very grateful!

I just gave this a quick install tonight and here are a few issues:

– Error message in the branding area;

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ was given in /home/.perro/czoltok/my-url.com/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339

– Clicking on usernames redirects to homepage;

– It seems that there are two version of the navigation bar – the regular one, and the buddypress one – stacked on top of each other. On the top row are my regular pages and a search bar that has been added in my functions file, and just below, there are tabs for “Home” and “Members”, as well as the BuddyPress bar.

– I have the admin bar of Buddypress set to not show in the functions file, but there is a gap in my WordPress admin page where it would normally go (it’s blank, but the gap remains).

I’d prefer not to put the testing site up here, so I’ll DM you the URL.

Thanks!

the more you try to get this one alive, the more you kill it on your own.

no answer mean no solution YET…
