Been scouring the forums and couldn’t find this anywhere…
I’m trying to make a plugin that takes a a blog post from a logged-in user and automatically adds it to their own BuddyPress Favorites list when they submit. The blog post writing stage is fine – I’m hacking a previous the user-submitted-posts WordPress plugin. However, I’m having trouble working out how to programmatically add the submitted post to the BuddyPress favorites.
After setting up the blog post vars into $postData, they get inserted with:
`$newPost = wp_insert_post($postData);`
$newPost is then set to the blog post ID, however I can’t find a BuddyPress function to return the activity ID, based on that blog post ID. If there is one I can then use that in the bp_activity_add_user_favorite call. Have I missed something in the BuddyPress functions?
We’re running WordPress 3.2 and BuddyPress 1.2.9 using BuddyPress Template Pack 1.1.3
When I compose a message I enter all the fields – Send To; Subject and Message.
When I send the message I get…
There was an error sending that message1, please try again
I found where this message originates in the BuddyPress message.php template. There are three places. I added a 1, 2, 3 to see which one is causing the problem.
The 1 is for the a missing subject or content. After sending the message and when the error messages appears the subject field remains filled in, but the content field is blank. For some reason the content field is being wiped out and seen as empty.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Art
Im working for new plugin (framework) for building web services ,this allows expose functionality of wordpress, buddypress or any other functions to other web sites and desktop applications. It is similar to the APIs provided by sites like Flickr and Twitter 
.
1. Create a child theme of bp-default https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
2, Copy over bp-default/forums/index.php to yourchildtheme/forums/index.php
3. Open up forums/index.php in your child theme and delete lines 35-36

Yes, I am using the latest version of WordPress, the latest version of Buddypress, and latest version of Suffusion theme. There was no problem a while ago, but now the avatar does not upload on the first page even though it shows successful avatar upload 
I truly appreciate your help.
I’d rather not be forced to use my Twitter login for WP authentication. It’s nice when it’s an option, but to force it might raise privacy concerns, among other things. I would prefer to have the option at registration: use a Twitter login for authentication and get my Twitter account synced automatically, or create a standalone WP login, which can later be linked to my Twitter account if I so wish. (This has the added bonus of allowing me to associate with a different Twitter account at a later date if I want to change.)
I recently set up a site for baby pictures, and managed to give users the choice between FB login and a dedicated WP login. Maybe it’d be helpful? http://teleogistic.net/2011/07/building-a-baby-photo-site-with-wordpress/
What @mercime means is that several of your questions are dependent on the theme you’ve purchased, ‘executive’. WPMU.org is not the official WordPress site, but is a private company that sells themes and plugins. It’s not possible for people on this free forum to provide support for a theme that is sold privately; you should go to wpmu.org for that.
General BuddyPress questions are welcome here, though. For instance,
`Furthermore I don’t seem to have a members directory in my dashboard.`
BuddyPress does not add a members directory to your Dashboard. You can find a members list at Dashboard > Users (or Dashboard >Network Admin > Users on Multisite)
I don’t understand, I’m having questions about the buddypress plugin and it’s functionalities not about wordpress.
I wanted to take a quick moment and let everyone know our issue has been resolved. What seems to have gone awry was a suPHP configuration that was correctly allowing WordPress side uploads go through with permission 644, but not Buddypress. We run a VPS, so I had the provider’s technicians reconfigure the suPHP settings to allow both WordPress and Buddypress uploads to automatically be set to permission level 644. As of now, things seem to be running smoothly.
So if you’re running a VPS or anything else where you can control the suPHP and PHP settings, be sure to give them a look and ensure they’re behaving as if they were running a shared hosting setup. By default, they are not as open as WordPress and Buddypress need to operate correctly.

Thanks!
I have the same setup as you and when I activated buddypress, I am no longer able to access my wordpress dashboard. I am new to all of this, so maybe I am just missing something. Any ideas/tips for me? Thank you!
I am relatively new to BuddyPress and WordPress. I want to add an application to leverage BP that include custom tables, customer forms for insert AND update, list pages with filters, a dashboard with good looking charts and graphs.
I would like to here what tools people are using for developing something like this?
Thanks,
Troy
Hey, hoping someone can help me out with this problem. I’m having an issue with BuddyPress and BP Album where none of the uploads seem to work. For example. if you go into BuddyPress Album menu, browse to an image, click Upload the page refreshes but the image doesn’t seem to actually get uploaded anywhere. I’ve looked around on the backend, but there’s no trace of it. No errors or confirmations are disable after attempting to upload. The same behavior occurs if you try to upload a new avatar image.
Couple other things
-From the actual wordpress dashboard, you can upload new media without any problems. The files appear in wp-content/uploads.
-I confirmed the permission settings for wp-content/uploads.and windows temp directory
-I’ve tried playing around with Image URL Mapping for BP Album, but that doesn’t seem to make a difference.
-I’ve tried reloading BuddyPress, BP-Album, changing themes, etc.
Anyone have any ideas?
Environment:
WordPress 3.2
BuddyPress 1.2.9
BP-Album+ 0.1.8.10
Windows Server 2008, IIS 7
Hi Mercime–I just gave your suggestion a go and with only WordPress and Buddypress running with the bundled Buddypress default theme, the avatar upload error still occurred… Do you happen to know if there is any server-side configuration that needs to be in place for the avatar uploads in specific? I’ve also asked our web hosting company to look into the error as well to see if they could see anything on the server side… It’s quite peculiar, because all the other media upload areas work just fine…
Is this a theme specific to buddy press or are you referring to my WordPress theme? Where do I change it? And if it is theme specific, where in the theme could it have been altered? Thanks for the help!
In dashboard menu Plugins > Installed plugins > BuddyPress .. there should be a prompt to upgrade to latest version. If you’re not seeing it, you can download BP from
https://buddypress.org/download/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/
Went to access my site this morning and notice the admin bar isn’t loading across the top of the page. Also, can’t access any member pages.
I haven’t upgraded to WordPress 3.2.1 because I’m not sure if it is compatible with BP yet. Can’t get an answer.
Please help!!!
My site is ParalegalGateway.com. I can see the admin bar on the backend (i.e. my WP dashboard). Thank you in advance for any help.
I’m using it:
MAMP Version 1.9.6 (1.9.6)
OS X Lion 10.7
Wordpress 3.2.1
Buddypress 1.29
with default settings and it works.
Did u tried to set permissions to the bp folder?
What is your permalink setting? Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks
I use MAMP on my own machine, but I don’t use the default settings. I wrote a post about it some time ago, where you can read more about how I configure it: http://teleogistic.net/2010/05/setting-up-a-wordpressbuddypress-development-environment-on-os-x/ In particular, you might be having a problem related to your hosts file, or maybe the Apache port settings. (I’m stabbing in the dark a bit here 
)
Hi there – here is the setup I am using:
OS X Lion 10.7
Wordpress 3.2.1
Buddypress 1.29
Mamp Pro 2.0.1
I can install WordPress just fine as I always do, and the other local sites I have installed are running fine.
I can download and install the Buddypress plugin both manually and via the build in mechanism in WordPress. As soon as I activate the plugin I get a HTTP Error 500 and the page cannot be loaded. From then on I cannot get to the /wp-admin page until I remove the plugin again.
Any thoughts?
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of trying to swap out the mystery man default avatar images that are in the core folder in place of my own selected images. Now all the default avatars are the same size when they shouldn’t be. I tried changing it back and I tried reinstalling my entire wordpress account but this also didn’t fix the problem. Anyone with ideas to restore it to normal please let me know. Thanks!
Feast of Fun, check the trac (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/). it have all the information you needed.
I finally solved the problem completely. Turns out the template pack plugin got deleted. All is well now.
@Andrea_r ,Thank You for your concern about my issue
I resolved this problem,new users are WordPress users ,first time I think there is an option in BP for adding new users, but there is no such option
