BuddyPress.org

Great, thanks for the heads up!

Great job guys!!!!!, I noticed the toolbar too , but one thing: if we don’t have sufficient permissions to access to the New Post Page and the Comments Moderation Page, would be better if we don’t see those links in the toolbar?

Thank you for the update @boonebgorges. I just got the upgrade email from wordpress and wanted to check before applying it. Thank you all for the quick announcement of it’s compatibility and expected turn around for the maintenance build. Truly a group of professionals! Thanks to everyone at Buddypress!

Yeah, noticed our new buddybar/adminbar now called Toolbar

We’re running WordPress 3.3 here at BuddyPress.org, and also running the 1.5.2 pre-release. Will be working out kinks to get it packaged up asap.

Cool !

Thanks for letting us know.

Just to clarify, when you say regular WordPress navigation menu, do you mean your theme’s main navigation menu which should have custom navigation menus or the WordPress Admin Bar? Or do you want something like tutorial at http://www.michaelkuhlmann.com/tutorials/customizing-admin-bar/

You can make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress by installing and activating the BP Template Pack plugin. After which, you’ll need to go through the BP Compatibility Process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

I’m glad you guys share my sense of humor and a taste of serious web programming.

but wait, I would like to point another thing on this webpage itself. Why every topic_post_time_since carries “ago” twice.

I know buddypress is a great open source software and people like me can contribute towards its development. I have myself reported problems from time to time – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3758

I just wanted to get my point across and I am glad people are listening. Also Buddypress.org is probably the largest or one of largest sites running buddypress. Performance and usability issues at this website sends a negative signal.

Have you tried this plugin yet?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/

This is a buddypress/wordpress issue. If you don’t believe me just see the source code for this page – Towards the end of the source code you’ll find something like this –

Generated in 3.178 seconds. (473 q)

That simply means this webpage needed 473 database queries to show you a few members and posts. If this is the situation with the official buddypress website running on latest hitech servers, fully optimized and cached, probably also using somekind of a CDN what else do you expect from the software itself?

1. To make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress, install and activate the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin and go through the BP Compatibility process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

2. As for Wishlist or S2Member, there’s been positive and negative feedback on both [EDIT – S2Member specifically notes support for BuddyPress which you should take into consideration]. You should contact vendors of both plugins about planned/scheduled plugins’ update for compatibility with upcoming WP 3.3 (prob this coming week – there are major changes) as well as upcoming BuddyPress version. Then check out respective plugins’ forums and see which has more issues reported and which provides more support.

@porscheheritage – You could try upgrading the jQuery library with a plugin.

There are a couple out there. Browse through:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=jquery

I should say I haven’t tested this myself.

In BP 1.5, the “bp_blogs_record_post_post_types” filter was added so you can add additional post types by hooking into the filter:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php#L168

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3460

otherwise – use the lower level bp-core function for add activity entries (or just copy the blog activity add function and change the cpt check)

1. Build a child theme of the BuddyPress Default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

2. Copy over header.php from the bp-default theme to your child theme folder https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php

3. Add the following code from sidebar.php into your header.php wherever in the structure after the body tag you prefer. You need to style your login form accordingly (horizontal or vertical).
