    When creating a new blog post, a user has to go to the wordpress admin panel, click the button “post” and then “Add New Post” there. (wp-admin/post-new.php). This is the default way for users to add a new post.

    Is it possible to add new post just like posting a update? (as the text input area on top of the buddypress site “Activity” page, titled with “what’s new username” and with a button “Post Update”). Can I just add an option, say “New Blog Post”, when the option is chosen, a text input area is shown for the user to type the post.

    In short, I just wanted the post creation to be as simple as a update. Features like “Save Draft” or “Preview” is no longer needed. It is pretty much like what facebook does. Users no longer have to go to the admin panel to creat a post. Can this be done? Any help would be appreciate.

    Thank you.

    Hi

    I have just installed BuddyPress on my blog at http://www.richard-dickinson.com
    Unfortunately though my WP theme anIMass does not work properly when I use ‘My Account’ menu (any item) -no content displays & the sidebar is out of place.
    I have looked at the instructions to include bpress code in page.php & index.php & I have tried this with no success so far.

    anIMass is a theme from WordPress directory & I am the author of it & I am a bit embarrassed I cannot fix the code in page/index.php templates for my theme to work properly with BuddyPress!

    I will keep trying to edit these templates but I am a bit desperate seeing all my attempts have failed so far. As such I am most grateful for help and look forward to replies

    Thanks

    Hi all,

    I am currently re-building our magazines main site, and have a full wordpress installed on a test server, at http://www.phonic.ie/wp

    3 days ago, I installed buddypress and using the buddypress template pack plug-in I was able to install Buddypress alongside my existing theme. So I did that, and now I have a buddypress admin bar running along the top of the website. Happy days!

    My problem is that when I click on any of the links, I get a 404 message. I am using pretty permalinks in wordpress, and they are working fine normally. I figured out that after I click a link in the buddypress bar and get a 404, the address in the browser is like this:

    http://www.phonic.ie/wp/members/admin/friends/

    Which doesnt work. However, if I then manually type in “index.php” so that the link reads:

    http://www.phonic.ie/wp/index.php/members/admin/friends/

    The link then works perfectly. So if I was able to get that index.php into each link in the buddypress bar, they would all work!

    I am using windows hosting, so do not have access to apache mod_rewrite in case that is the problem. I have been trying everything that I have read on forums for the last 3 days, but with no luck.

    I dont know any PHP code, but If I am given the code, I can usually implement it okay.

    Can anybody help me with this? I have run out of ideas!! :(

    Thanks in advance!

    @foxly Thanks. Yeah, it must be stripping iframe tags from non-Administrators. (And this is a separate install from wordpress.com, so it doesn’t have the googleapps shortcode.) Anyway, I’ve put them in there: https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/

    Not sure what’ll happen when a non-Admin edits the page; they may get stripped again. I’ll try to figure out a way around this.

    @boonebgorges We’ve spent the better part of an hour trying to debug the BP codex page, but it won’t render the Google Docs embed, even when we add it in the admin back end.

    WordPress.com officially supports Google Docs embeds announcement, support page, and the embed works properly on several different test sites we tried it on. The problem seems exclusive to buddypress.org.

    Could you guys up one of us to super admin for a bit so we can check if it’s stripping embeds by normal editors as some sort of spam control measure?

    Thanks!

    Alright solved again. Turns out there was a mistake in my code. Here’s the breakdown:

    Old Code:

    `function cg_postcatagory( $post_id = false )
    {
    if ( empty( $post_id ) || empty( $_POST ) )
    return false;

    $post_id = (int) $post_id;
    $postmeta = $_POST;

    $cg_newmeta = ( cg_newmeta( $post_id, $postmeta ) ) ? true : false;

    return $cg_newmeta;
    }
    add_action( ‘bp_forums_new_post’, ‘cg_postcatagory’ );`

    Initially I wanted the post to store custom metadata, but that turned out to be a pain in the neck to use, and unnecessarily complicated. So, I decided to store tags instead. The problem, I discovered, was that the function was using the post_id to store the tags, which apparently isn’t how it’s supposed to work. What I should have one was instead topic_id instead, since that’s what tags are attached to (according to the bb_terms_relationships table).

    So I modified my function accordingly and ended up with

    `function cg_postcatagory( $topic_id = false )
    {
    if ( empty( $topic_id ) || empty( $_POST ) )
    return false;

    $topic_id = (int) $topic_id;
    $postmeta = $_POST;

    $cg_newmeta = ( cg_newmeta( $topic_id, $postmeta ) ) ? true : false;

    return $cg_newmeta;
    }
    add_action( ‘bp_forums_new_topic’, ‘cg_postcatagory’ );`

    And it worked, testing it on the latest stable WordPress (3.2.1) and BuddyPress (1.2.9) and so far so good. If the code is solid, I hope somebody benefits from this. if It isn’t, I hope somebody can point out the holes in it, so I can plug them up.

    Will set the status of this thread to Resolved (permanently this time, I hope)

    Hello,
    I was curious if anyone knew where to properly customize my WordPress Multisite so I can change the title “My Blogs” to “My Sites” instead.

    I know that a /blog slug is created for users so I wanted to know how to do this correctly without breaking the site or my permalinks.

    Thanks,
    Stig

    I’ve been searching for this for days but it seems that all I can find is stuff from a year ago and nothing is working for me.

    I would like to change my title tag for my forum topic page from:
    Site Name | Groups | Group Name | Forum | Topic Title

    To:

    Topic Title | Site Name

    If someone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

    My Versions:
    WordPress 3.2.1
    BuddyPress 1.2.9

    Thank You

    Sitgmartyr – This issue has been reported and fixed, but unfortunately there will not be a public, new release under the 1.2 series because attention has shifted to 1.5.

    However, you can patch and fix this yourself:
    https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4626

    Or download the 1.2 dev branch and overwrite your current “buddypress” folder:
    https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/1.2 (scroll to the bottom and click on the ZIP download)

    Remove all your htaccess code that you’ve added as that isn’t related to this issue.

    Yes, I think you are missing the point. I’ve sucessfully moved wordpress. It’s buddy press that is giving the problem. It’s not wp-config.php but bp-config.php that I don;t appear to have.

    == If I don’t have bp-config.php I just create it inthe buddypress plugin directory, right? ==
    The internal Forum installation process will automatically generate the “bb-config.php” at root of your install when you go through the process.

    Thanks for posting that tutorial, @foxly. The ‘wp’/’admin_menu’ hook is a very old technique that has nonetheless continued to work. I’ve got that on my list of things to write about on bpdevel.wordpress.com. Maybe I’ll do so later today, and link to your very helpful wiki page.

    What versions of WP and BP are you using, @esploded? What errors do you get in your web server’s error logs? I bet this is to do with https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1486

    I am using a special theme, which relies on and extended wordpress profile, and i dont know of a way to sync that up with the buddypress profile. However, i really want to be able to use avatars. Is there a way of disabling extended profiles, but keeping the ability to add avatars? thanks.

    > Will get that sorted trying to get the spreadsheet to work in the page to save time currently but will get it marked as not fail because of those.

    If this is done, I’d argue that the “Excellent” ratings should just be a “pass”. The “excellent” rating, compared to the others, is subjective and is dependant on who tested the plugin (and their knowledge of PHP, WordPress and BuddyPress APIs, etc).

    I just got the latest version a few hours ago. For me, the menu only looks okay if I don’t assign a menu to the theme in Appearance > Menus > Theme Locations. If I do set it, then it looks like it does in my image above.

    Also, in the backend, I’m seeing this message:
    “You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress-compatible theme to take advantage of all of BuddyPress’s features. We’ve bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes or update your existing WordPress theme.”

    Also, in your profile > Activity tab > Personal (when viewing another member’s profile) / Mentions / Friends / Groups, there is no spacing above the first activity stream item

    That’s all I could find! :D Good job!

    @frizzo – sounds like you are looking to implement WPMU (multisite) :)

    Here is a link to help get you started: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

    The way I’m doing it, our main buddypress site is the master domain, all users from that site can use their accounts around any of our sub-blogs or domains. There’s even a premium plugin for domain name support so you’re not just limited to a subdirectory.

    Hope this helps!

    I am using BP 1.2.9 along with BP Template Pack 1.1.4 on WordPress 3.2.1. I am using what is supposed to be a BP compatible theme. The problem is the menu listing for BP is at the bottom of the page in one long listing, rather than across the top of the page in the black bar. Any ideas? I am also using this in a membership site using S2member.

    I am wondering if someone can help guide me on how to better integrate my sites.

    I have a rather large buddypress site for example it’s http://www.mysite.com
    I have another site that is part of it that is a wordpress site and it’s at http://www.mysite.com/classifieds

    How can I make it so that when they register on the buddypress site and login, they are automatically registered and logged in on the wordpress site as well?

    Hello,
    Recently I updated to all the latest versions of BP and WP. Everything seemed to be going swell, except then I realized that in our activity streams certain links are not working as they should, rather they are redirecting to the home page. Is there some way to force refresh all the permalinks in Buddypress perhaps?

    My permalink structure is: site.com/%category%/%postname%

    When I hover over the ‘view’ link my browser status bar shows the URL is formated by BP like: site.com/activity/p/1234

    Normally when you click the ‘view’ link the site will redirect to the correct URL like: site.com/members/stig/activity/1234/

    Oddly enough if I take a link that isn’t working and I manually form the URL like the end result should look even that goes to a home page for any of the links/activity posts that aren’t working…

    Some of my links are doing this correctly and some of them just redirect to the home page. I’ve tried changing and saving my permalink structure countless times but the issue persists. The permalinks can be changed in the dashboard I verified that’s working because my URL structure changes, but it doesn’t resolve the issue I’m having with activity links..

    I’ve read tutorials on modifying .htaccess with stuff like:

    ‘RedirectMatch 301 /([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$4’

    However Im not that savy with .htaccess rules and I don’t think the above code is written correctly to handle activity links. Also if I’m manually forming the URLs and they don’t work I don’t expect this method would work either..

    I’ve tried this with the default BP theme and it’s still broken. I’ve researched as many threads as I could on this site and WP.org and while I now better understand the use of permalinks I’m still stumped on this issue.

    QUESTIONAIRE:
    1. Which version of WordPress are you running? WP 3.2.1 (Multisite)
    2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? installed in root
    3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? n/a
    4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? 2.9.x
    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? 1.2.9
    7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? the version that came just before 1.2.9 (I’ve only been using BP about 2 months)
    8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones? Several plugins for BP including /blog removal from permalinks, BP Album, FB Autoconnect, etc. I’ve tried disabling them all and that didn’t make any difference.
    9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? ReviewIt theme from Ghostpool. However the issue persists in the BP default theme.
    10. Have you modified the core files in any way? Only style sheet (css)
    11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? not that I’m aware of
    12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? Used the Buddypress included files to activate a new instance of forums
    13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. 404 errors to old permalinked pages and ‘deprecated with’ errors related to a classifieds plugin, I just turned php error reporting off.
    14. Which company provides your hosting? We have our own colo in Dallas
    15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? WinServer 2k8 running Apache and php5

    One way is to change all your user’s passwords with some generic-only-you-will-know password.
    Then a user is forced to reset their password when s/he attempts to login next time.

    Read this post for some pointers (especially the ninja section):
    http://digwp.com/2009/10/five-ways-to-change-your-wordpress-password/

    I should state that BuddyPress runs on top of WordPress, so this is technically a WordPress issue.

    Hello,

    Wordpress 3.1.3
    BuddyPress 1.2.9

    I have applied a password strength rule on creating and changing passwords. I now need to expire my users passwords (about 7000+) in order to force them to conform to the rule. I tried using the plugin “PassExpire” but it does not detect any users on my wordpress install. I assume this is because buddypress handles users in a different way, or maybe passexpire is not multisite compatible.

    Has anyone here had experience expiring buddypress passwords? I really need to figure this out. About 1 hour of google searches has turned up no solutions.

    That’ll either have been the BuddyBar, from BuddyPress, or perhaps the admin bar from WordPress 3.1+.

    I’m not sure if it’s good to fail a plugin purely because it has PHP warnings revealed with WP_DEBUG. Those warnings, if output to HTML rather than a log, can also cause problems with the rest of the plugin. We’re checking for BP 1.5 compatibility, not whether a plugin meets WordPress’ coding standards. Thoughts?
