    Hi, there!

    Last May, when I was young and inexperienced in the ways of social networking software, I started up a social networking site for homeschooled teens, using Elgg social networking software. Elgg worked out well for several months, but in the last month I’ve absolutely come to my wits’ end with it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice software. However, it’s just too hard on server resources and is using way too much of my limited spare time. After my Elgg site started repeatedly crashing due to overusing the maximum amount of MySQL connections alloted to me, I found out that I either have to switch to a different software, or purchase the $70 a month ‘VPS Pro’ hosting from my webhost. As you can probably imagine, a social networking site for homeschooled teens simply does not make enough money to justify a $70 a month hosting bill. For those reasons, I’m considering switching over to a software that’s not quite as labour-intensive/hard on the server. BuddyPress seems to meet these requirements, but I have a few questions before I can decide whether or not to use it.

    First of all (and this is the question I wish I’d asked when I started with Elgg), would BuddyPress/Wordpress require VPS hosting, with only about 150 members in all and generally a maximum of five (though usually more like zero to two) users online at any given time? (Of course, I won’t mind upgrading to better hosting when my site gets larger, but for now I can only afford about $25 a month, maximum.)

    Second, is there any simple way someone who’s not terribly skilled at PHP or MySQL (like myself) could import user data (i.e. member login data, blog posts, groups) from Elgg to BuddyPress? This isn’t extremely important to me, as my site members should be alright with moving their accounts over to a new site by themselves, but it would be nice if this were possible. :)

    Lastly, is it difficult to learn how to make plugins and themes for BuddyPress? Would the documentation be very hard for someone who’s just a bit more than a beginner with PHP and MySQL to understand?

    Thanks in advance for your help! I’m really liking the look of BuddyPress, and I hope it ends up working out for me! =)

    Have you tried installing https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ then sending a test email from the settings page?

    The debug information should indicate where the problem is and the error codes can be googled for further info if necessary….

    I’m with you mrwolfy, I see the search functionality that comes in the header area with bp-default will work – though I would like to be able to modify it – but if you use the wordpress search widget, or the search box that shows up when something isn’t found, I get pushed back to the activity page (home page for me). The same happens on this site if you use the search box at the top – you’ll get thrown back to the home page.

    I found a plugin at http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget/ but it wouldn’t list posts for me. It seems to list everything but. Any advice anyone?

    Hello can anyone help? :) ,
    I keep getting errors like :
    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/saboodle/public_html/index.php:2) in /home/saboodle/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866
    I am using the newest versions of buddypress & wordpress. With the default theme.
    These errors are not happening all the time , just when certain actions are done. The last two times is when a friend clicked on a link to my site from a message on facebook, and then again when I tried to update profile fields.

    BuddyPress doesn’t do anything with user authentication. Get it working with WordPress, and it’ll work with BuddyPress. For further advice, it’s probably worth searching the WordPress.org forums as I imagine this sort of topic has come up in the past.

    Hi all,
    I know there’s a plugin for external authentication. Yes I am not sure if we would be able to use it in this case. Let me describe what we want to do:
    1. External database that stores contact information including login and hashed password.
    2. Local (by local I mean the buddypress one) that has all the post/replies/friendship requests/status updates etc etc information.

    Is is better to try and make WordPress authenticate in external database directly (SugarCRM in this case), no entry would be created in local db, and then somewhat attach that login and contact details to user in local db (wordpress/buddypress). My concern in this case is, how would buddypress know that x user in sugarcrm posted y and z on buddypress.
    or would it be easier and safer to synchronize databases e.g. every couple of minutes?
    So in the second scenario, all the information is created locally (wordpress) and sychronized with SugarCRM.

    @r-a-y said his plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/ would eventually offer this as an option.

    #129449

    Thanks for your both late, and speedy reply. I figured I’d check back before I went to sleep, I didn’t think anyone would post so late. I was able to locate the appropriate .css files, for future reference (so no one else is confused), they are located in pluginsbp-template-pack right under my nose. I feel like a bit of an idiot now, however I managed to edit several margins that had been set to negative numbers, such as negative nineteen, which my style does not support it would seem.

    As for the Avatar cropping, I have had no luck with this. I scanned the page you linked me, changed my theme, and even disabled it entirely just to rule out that possibility all together to no avail. I did notice however, that this error message is now popping up: There was a problem cropping the avatar, please try uploading it again.

    When I attempt to crop any avatar’s for both groups and persons joining, the crop window does not appear over the picture. I can still select crop picture, only nothing happens. It grabs the corner of said image, and chooses that.

    Re: Cropping Avatars

    Change to bp-default theme and check if you can crop there. If you can, well and good. If not, check out some trouble-shooting tips https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration

    Re: Theme Compatibility

    First thing’s first. Before making any WP theme (downloaded outside of WP theme repository) compatible with BuddyPress, make sure that it is secure. Download the Theme Check Plugin and see if there are warnings or required generated when you run the theme check. WP Theme Repo for example only accepts themes which do not contain warnings and required items.

    I have just downloaded a copy of gamespeed per your link above and there are obfuscated code within 2 files I checked out so far – at the bottom of the theme’s functions.php file and all of footer.php file. Because of that, I can’t help you since I need all the HTML information in footer.php among other theme files for the BP Compatibility Process.

    Hello,

    I’m looking for a solution that will automatically make me ( Super Admin ) an automatic friend of all my members ( including members prior to BuddyPress activation ).

    I tried using: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-automatic-friends/ – but unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t work as I need.

    Thanks,

    1. Which version of WordPress are you running? : 3.3.1.
    2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? : subdomain
    3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
    4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? : Yes, 3.3.0
    5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. : Yes
    6. Which version of BP are you running? : Latest
    7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? : No
    8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones? : No

    10. Have you modified the core files in any way? : No

    14. Which company provides your hosting? : Myself
    15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? ; Windows, Apache

    Alright, I’ve answered all of the above, and I have already stated my skin. I hope this topic hasn’t already been beaten to death, I’ve been scouring the internet for the last five hours (perhaps I’m using the wrong search terms?), and I haven’t found anything. Everything in my BuddyPress install is working fine, bar the width of certain elements. Is there a simple .css modification I can do, or anything to align these pages correctly? I installed BB Compatibility, I’m just having trouble grasping where and what I edit, the php code used for this skin is very mushed together, and difficult to sift through (bad coding if you ask me)

    Here’s an example, I uploaded it to my gallery if it helps in resolving the issue:
    http://archonsnexus.net/imagangaomic/index.php/Link-Pictures/widthproblem

    I would also like to add that I cannot crop avatars, I’m guessing this is a jscript issue? The cropping selector does not appear anywhere.

    } else if ( function_exists(‘get_avatar’) ) {
    get_avatar();

    I figured it all out. I used Firebug to grab the custom background CSS and placed it into my main style sheet.

    Then for the getting rid of the side bar, I needed to adapt the code to match what in the full width template file compared to the page file. Then I had to make the same adjustment for the bottom in the sidebar file as well.

    Thank you for all the help! I really needed it!

    This is not a BuddyPress issue. The Secure Invites plugin as seen at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/ has not been updated since March 2011.

    Either contact the plugin dev if he’s still going to update the plugin or find an alternative. Check out e.g. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/

    Something is wrong. Let’s start with:

    – WP/BP versions?

    – Single WP or WP Multisite?

    – Did you go through the installation wizard after you activated BuddyPress? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/

    – Did you install/activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

    – URI to the page you were referring to where it just showed list of titles.

    @mercime
    Participant

    @ki450751 I see you’ve installed BP Template Pack and have gone through the BP Compatibility process. Click on the Finish button and let’s proceed to the nitty gritty.

    For the WP Creativix theme as seen here https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/wp-creativix

    A. Copy the theme’s header.php and save as header-buddypress.php

    Open up header-buddypress.php, at the very bottom of the file below other code, add this:
    `

    `

    Save file.

    Greetings,

    I’m starting to get the hang of how buddypress works and the possibilities are very exciting. But there’s one thing I’m not quite sure how to do.

    In a way, it’s kind of like wordpress’ “featured content” capability. I’d like for certain people, probably people in admin role, to be able to “promote” certain buddypress activity, most often good/interesting forum topics, to show up on the site home page.

    My original plan had been to just write new blog entries that had pointers to the promoted site activity. But I was wondering if there is a better way.

    In a way, it would be like an “activity stream” kind of thing but it would be filtered by “featured buddypress activity” or something like that.

    In fact one thought I had was to create a special buddycpress account, give it admin level access and use that account to label ceriain activity as a “favorite”. Then I’d grab the RSS feed for that account’s favorites and display it on the home page using an RSS feed display widget of some sort. I’m thinking that’s kind of a clunky solution, but it could be done.

    Any other suggestions on how to select a subset of buddy press activity and feature it on the site’s home page as “featured content” / “featured activity”?

    Recently i installed Buddypress on a new website which runs on WordPressMU. So far, all the pages like Activity, Groups, Blogs are there. However, i can’t seem to access the “My Account” Tab in the Buddypress Admin Bar. Every option i click under the drop down of the “My Account” tab bring me to a “Page not found”. What am i doing wrong? I am new to WordPressMU and Buddypress, please help.
