BuddyPress.org

So a little bit more searching found this:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1995
Which has had no attention for 17 months until cnorris23 jumped on board 3 days ago.

and this
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695
which has some attention and actual code by cnorris23. You go guy!

I just don’t understand why this critical functionality has had no attention. Hopefully cnorris23 will make some progress.

What I’m getting from your post is that you have separate single WP installations in 3 physical subdomains domain1.site.com, domain2.site.com, and domain3.site.com and now you want to move the installation of domain1.site.com to domain root site.com.

If you mean differently, then please post your question with more specifics at

1. Just to be sure we have a clean slate,
– if you’ve only revised activity/index.php, then upload a clean copy of activity/index.php from this page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php
– If you’ve revised some other files already, deactivate BP Template pack plugin. Then delete the 6 folders transferred to your mammoth theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, and registration. Then activate BP Template Pack and run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to the end. Fresh BP template pack folders will then be transferred to your mammoth theme folder.

2. Open up mammoth theme’s header.php and Save As header-buddypress.php in mammoth theme folder. Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following at the very bottom of the file:
`

`

4. Finally, you might want to tweak the default BP styles enqueued by BP Template Pack – check out some basic tweaks in this page

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-domain-whitelist/ is one.

Check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/whitelist

Copy over the register.php file from bp-default theme into your child theme folder following the directory structure of bp-default i.e. into buddypress-colours/registration/register.php

Yes, it’s a change: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3378#comment:2

The plugin you’re using is using for search is using core functions to render the dropdowns. That’s great, of course. But, in all the ways that the dropdowns are used in BP core, it does *not* make sense to have a null option for required dropdowns. So, while it’s inconvenient and I wish it had been raised at an earlier point, I think it’s incumbent on the plugin to create the fields in the way necessary for the plugin’s functionality to work right.

Alternatively, I would be happy to see a patch for BP that allows bp_get_the_profile_field_options() to take an argument along the lines of show_null_value_for_required (maybe not that wordy, but you get the idea). That way, we could default to false (1.5 behavior) but allow the 1.2.x behavior optionally, at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php?annotate=blame&rev=5230#L431. It would be an easy patch to write; I encourage you to do it yourself, or at least to open a ticket for it.

@valuser Yes, that’s it. I’ve opened a ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3697

> rant/opinion

Yeah. You could have just asked “Why can’t I delete the ‘name’ field?” and been done with it. There is an argument for why the field is required, which has to do with the fact that BP uses display names all over the site to identify users, but the ad hominem nature of your rant/opinion makes it less pleasant to offer up the explanation.

> Why release 1.5 and not make it compatible with bb 2.0?

The 1.5 release had been held up for too long already. bbPress 2.0 integration is not trivial.

> And again, when setting up the forums why the whole endless loop of “install bbpress but it’s already installed” it’s rather confusing.

Not sure I understand the question. Once you have set up bbPress, you don’t have to install it again. You have an option to reinstall it, but only if something has gone wrong.

> Why does it keep asking for a valid “activation key” even if people click on the validation key received by the system?

This usually means that the user has already activated his account. Use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/ to do some more research.

Hi Guys im trying to do the same on a custom wordpress page but it seems that
if ( bp_has_profile() ) always returns false and i dont know why.
I even tried to put this on my custom page.

I need to load any file or globalize a variable?
I just need to make this work inside a custom page within wordpress.
Thanks for all the help

@BlinkyBill01 and @mikey3d

Here’s the plugin, im open to suggestions and improvements.

`Adds two additional/optional fields to your BuddyPress groups – let groups link to an external website and extra field you may define.`

Buddypress group plus

Its the initial release, still have to clean up a few things but it works

Mercime means inside the WordPress admin area (/wp-admin)

There is no need to re-post this. I saw a thread with the same message the the other day, and if I wasn’t on my phone, I’d find it and close this one.

I am guessing that there would probably need to be a bunch of changes in BuddyPress core to do this, so you probably couldn’t do it with just a plugin. If you end up changing BuddyPress, consider contributing your changes as an enhancement request on http://BuddyPress.trac.WordPress.org
