BuddyPress.org

I’m currently using this one, and it’s fab !!!

1. As far as I know, there’s nothing like this yet. Users can only add data through xprofile at the moment.

2. Activate multisite on your wordpress install.

== Let users have their own blog. i read that buddypress has this feature ==
That’s a WordPress Multisite feature which is supported by BuddyPress. Install WP, then create a network, then you have to allow user/s to create blogs in Network Admin > Network Settings.

.== users can add information, images or html code ==
Images can be added in a variety of ways: a) your blog posts – the native WP gallery, and/d or via BP-compatible plugins like the b) free BP Media and the d) premium BP Gallery plugin. Test drive BuddyPress by logging in demo site at http://testbp.org/

@cdgregory

Did you search the WP plugin repo?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

This should do what you want: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-hashtags/

I have loaded it, and it’s really nice, however, i’d prefer to add tags to an activity, rather than hashtag linking, (because I’m using the BP Bookmarklet), but until i can code, beggars can’t be choosers, and it’s a great plugin, so….

Thanks Graphicscove, that worked for me. Now I get an annoying message all the time in the main site admin though: The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums

Hopefully this bug will be squashed with a BP update

resolved , for those who are interested: http://www.famousbloggers.net/3-wordpress-tricks.html

BuddyPress activity replies only work when javascript is enabled. This is a known issue:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3705

The problem is your theme (and/or plugins) is conflicting with BuddyPress’ javascript. If you check your browser’s debug console, you should see some javascript errors.

Try to nail down where the issue originally came from. It should be a plugin or your theme’s JS that is the culprit.

This isn’t really a BP-related question, but a robots.txt file is usually not necessary; it’s only needed if you want to block certain bots from your site.

More info here:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156449

Also make sure you’re not already using a robots.txt plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/irobotstxt-seo/

You shouldn’t use the members loop if you don’t need it.

A more efficient call is using bp_core_fetch_avatar() and setting the parameters there. (Make sure you use a function_exists() call if you use this approach.)

You can alternatively filter get_avatar() as well using bp_core_fetch_avatar() as well.

There’s a second method in above link which you can use for your theme. If you need further assistance, open up your WP theme’s header.php in text editor and copy all code, then go to pastebin.com and paste the code and click submit. Post the generated pastebin.com URL here. Do the same for your WP theme’s index.php, page.php, and footer.php

If you’re using BP 1.5, it’s done the same way as you would do in regular WP installation.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

– Create a blank new Page titled e.g. Blog, News, etc. and publish it
– Go to admin dashboard Settings > Reading >Front Page Displays > A static page. Select “Activity” for Front page and then select “Blog” or whatever you named the new Page, for your Posts page.

To log into your admin area, delete or rename the plugin directory ( /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-kaltura-media-component/ ) using ftp or cpanel. WordPress will deactivate it….

That plugin is shown as incompatible with bp 1.5 in august. The error is the same – https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/

Further info about that particular error is on: http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/wiki/DOCS_BP_FixingPlugins_phpError

#1.
a) Copy over index.php file from bp-default theme to your child theme folder.
b) Open up index.php in child theme folder and make the following change. On line # 37 of that file, replace:
“
with
`<?php
if ( is_home() ) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content( __( ‘Read the rest of this entry ?’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
}
?>`
c) If you don’t have one yet, create a blank functions.php file in your bp-default child theme folder, then add the solutions to excerpt length and “Read more” are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

#2. The avatar with username is wrapped in div.author-box lines 22 – 29 in the same index.php file you copied over

EDIT – took too long to answer. Didn’t see Xevo’s post

1. https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt Since the default buddypress theme uses the_content.

2. http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-post-thumbnails-in-wordpress/ Should get you going.
