BuddyPress.org

It’s on the WordPress Settings page, the option called “Membership”.

@andystaple when Pods becomes wordpress friendly it will be an awesome choice to use as your Beer data-type manager.

Does MyReviewPlugin actually make use of BP XProfile data and hook into the activity stream? eg. [Andy Staple] reviewed [Pete’s Wicked Ale] in [Microbews Group] for example?

While it is very true that the backend is confusing our users regarding complexity, I still think that, atm, posting from the front-end is not developed far enough yet (as far as I know, please correct me if I’m wrong). It is fine for micro-blogging, but I don’t think there are option to include image/video/media uploading, tagging, and categories.

Therefore we are still painfully educating our users so at least the can harness the full potential of WP rather than to use it as a feature rich paper weight that can only do text. If anyone knows of a way to post to the blog from the front end that’s more full featured than just text, it will be implemented immediately (as a manner of speaking)!

We could do this with Drupal, but I have not seen it yet, or search hard enough, in WordPress.

So yes, I to would absolutely feel liberated if I did not have to send our users to a backend…it is not what is expected for most users using common social sites. Definitely high on the priority list!

Alright I have added right after

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

and right before

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

What is this suppose to do anyways? I’m not sure I understand how this stops spam.

So now my wp-config is like this,

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘randomcrazyslugger’ );

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */

I added the line. as suggested.

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘yourregisterslug’ );

/** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */

That’s what it looks like.

Andrea_r sorry I’m in three different threads right now I feel like your chasing me around haha!

Wow, that’s a really impressive setup you got going at http://kodingen.com. Thank you for posting this ~ I wouldn’t know where to start with hiphop yet, but I registered and noticed that the activation email is missing a backslash. I had read this statement from @rasmus and figured it’s performance gains and high scaleability would also depend on a series of other configurations like memcached and sql optimization. But something like this could prove to be as Rasmus puts it, escape from ‘framework soup’. Although wordpress.com seems to be running top notch on top of Nginx, but I’m sure they got all kinds of hardware and configuration tweaks going on.. // all the same thanks for for the experimenting and good luck with it.

It’s not gone just radically altered?

It’s part of the activity stream now?

I think if you want it exactly as before you need to use this plugin provided to maintain backwards compatibility:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/upgrading-from-10x/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-backwards-compatibility/

But someone more versed in these matters may provide a better answer.

Maintaining this backwards compatibility does not seem straightforward though, and a better step by step guide would be useful, and I’m not sure that in reality 1.1.x and 1.2 are such different beasts that 1.2 ought to be considered a separate branch at least it doesn’t really feel as though 1.2 is an upgrade from 1.1 less a point release than a milestone almost a 2.x?

I had the same problem. Odd, my sign up link didn’t even show up??? But I did what windHamDavid said and I went here /wp-admin/wpmu-options.php

Note: because I have MU installed maybe different for regular wordPress

I disabled registrations saved and re-enabled, and it worked.

Thanks windHamDavid

@finni3 Until Andy trumps all of our work and goes deep core, Boone’s & D Cartwright’s excellent merged plugin will fit your needs https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/

Does the problem occur when you deactivate WP-o-matic?

My guess is it definitely has something to do with WP-o-matic.

I’d recommend moving to FeedWordpress myself.

Create a new page in the WordPress backend. Then go to the “Settings > Reading” and select that page as the front page. You may want to create another “Blog” page and set that as the posts page.

A few other actions were added in 1.2 to help plugin authors hook into the correct places within BuddyPress.

bp_setup_globals

bp_setup_nav

bp_setup_root_components

bp_setup_widgets

The intent of those hooks for plugin authors, is to not load your code before BuddyPress does, potentially putting your navigation menus or global component setups out of alignment with BuddyPress. Typical WordPress priority rules apply, so it is still possible to bump your plugin ahead of BuddyPress if you need to.

sometimes when you copy items from a folder on harddrive to server via ftp program it misses hidden files like .htaccess

You can create a file htaccess.txt add the rewrite code then upload it after upload change the name of the file to .htaccess

I’m using WP single and this is whats in my .htacess file

RewriteBase /



#uploaded files

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]



# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]



RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule . - [L]

RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]

RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]



<IfModule mod_security.c>

<Files async-upload.php>

SecFilterEngine Off

SecFilterScanPOST Off

</Files>

</IfModule>



# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>



# END WordPress

we usually call them “userbars”, as facebook changed the name just to make themselves proud to invent something new…

sure it can be easy to code, i’ve done a great version for vBulletin, and it would take little to make one for WordPress… i suppose someone will be able to code one..

Hey I solved this problem.

There were two problems:

1) no .htaccess

2) Text editor in Mac

You should have .htaccess in your FTP.

Maybe it’s hidden, but if it is not, you should make one.

You can make it with a simple text editor:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

copy and paste this and save it as .htaccess and upload it your root wp folder.

Another problem for me was that I used the text editor in mac.

Its RTF format put some information in the beginning of the file which is invisible in the text editor.

That caused 500 error problem.

So I made .htacess in Dreamweaver (the memo app in Windows would be OK I guess), and uploaded it, IT WORKED.

I hope this would help for other people.

The reason my FTP did not have .htacess in the first place is beyond me.

There are lots of regular WP event plugins. I’d suggest searching on the wordpress.org site / forums. But for a BuddyPress integrated plugin… there are only two… one which is a WordPress MU Premium (paid) plugin… and bp-events from Erwin… the development of which seems to come in spurts. Last I heard… Erwin was pretty far along in making it 1.2 compatible and was mostly just working on an Ajax calendar feature. Hopefully it will be finished up soon-ish :o)

ehmm, please refrain from opening new posts which basically links to an other post which links to another post

Not that I do not agree with your request, but by annoying people who might be able to help out, you steer focus away from the problem.

Anyway, does feedwordpress not work?

Hello,

I’m having the same issues……..I do not have an “.htaccess” file anywhere on my hosting server.

I read that the two latest versions of WordPress and Buddypress may not be compatible – could this be the problem?

Thank you!
