Hi all,
I’m desperately looking for software to do the following, and really hope Buddypress will fit what we’re looking for. Hope you can help!
We are a volunteer organization that sends about 600 – 1000 people overseas each year. We need volunteers to keep their blog/profile, connect with facebook, get information from us, interact with our internal information system, etc. The specs are pretty much:
– Community of about 3,000 members, growing with about 1,000 each year
– Each user has his/her own profile, with a weblog as the main feature, with subdomains, like: myname.ourdomain.org
– There is a central homepage for non-logged in users (and logged-in ones) that merges these blogs/profiles, news, feeds, etc etc; basically, content generated by us on a dynamic “community”
– Users can be grouped by country/project/etc they go to (i.e. categorized or tagged), so we can show profiles/blogs from a certain group somewhere on our website
– In the backoffice of a user, we can add all kinds of modules, for example to access our database of fundraising ideas, book a ticket, add your emergency-information to be entered into our system
– There is a forum with different group, to which individual users can subscribe toHowever, there’s another main feature we’d really need: we would like to be able to easily “clone” the community for partners we work with. This would be another community alltogether, with different layout, userbase, etc, but with the same idea as the one above. Modules should be able to be shared between different “subcommunities”.
Ideally, we would be able to create a “supercommunity” that merges all the blogs, pictures, feeds, users etc from all the subcommunities into one.
Is all this possible with WordPress? Should I worry about database-size with 3,000 (and in the future 10,000+) blogs/profiles? How much of all this is out of the box, how much would have to be implemented?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Kind regards,
Michel
Ok, I am not that good with technology…. Anyway, I went through the code manually trying to clean up the look of bbpress and just make it ook as nice as possible.. I feel satisfied with everything except there is a weird mis-allignement issue when viewing posts.. I couldn’t figure out what files to edit to fix this:
take a look:
http://www.oursanmiguel.com/?topic=test-6would be nice if my admin name was under the picture… and if the reply “posts” box was wider..
*Sigh*—this seems to be a common issue, but I’ve been banging my head against it for a few hours now, and feel like I’m starting to read the same forum-post-loop over and over again, so I thought I’d try and ask myself, and see if anyone would be kind enough to try and help me out.
I’m working on a more-or-less brand new BP site, with all plugins turned off. I’ve got BuddyPress version 1.3-bleeding (from SVN) running on WordPress 3.2-RC4 (the latest nightly). When BuddyPress is disabled, I can go to mysite.com/wp-signup.php and everything works as expected.
In the admin options, everything registration-related is turned on (I think) and the “normal” WordPress Multisite wp-signup page happily tells me, “Greetings Site Administrator! You are currently allowing “all” registrations. To change or disable registration go to your Options page.”
So far, so good. When I activate BuddyPress, though, wp-signup.php redirects to /register (which it’s supposed to do, right?) but I get the message, “User registration is currently not allowed.” instead of a signup form.
If I look under Sites > All Sites > / > Settings, “Users Can Register” is indeed set to “1”—I’m not sure what else to poke at from here. Does my “Register” page need to include code? shortcode? anything? Or is it just supposed to be a blank page? There’s got to be something dumb I’m overlooking, right? Anyone know what it might be?
Thanks!
great! thanks! ok so first you say that all that can be done with the current versions…then lastly you say that i need to dive into the code…so do you mean that the things that i mentioned are only available if i dive into the code? or are they possible without doing any coding?
i’m not a coder, and i cannot afford to hire a coder…but i have been able to fiddle a little with some very simiple code here and there…so if its simple enough, i may be able to figure it out if there are explicit instructions somewhere…
i will check out the buddypress doc you linked to but i’ve found that the wordpress docs are not always easy for me to understand…make my eyes glaze over, LOL! i much prefer the interpretations that people blog about or post on forums that explains things in simple terms that i understand. so i hope that document is user friendly in that sense. we’ll see.
thanks again! and please let me know if to do the things i listed above if i will have to get someone to help me with coding or if they are possible out-of-the-box or with a plugin? that wasn’t clear to me in your response. thank you!
I would like to have a “community” tab in the main navigation bmenu of my wordpress site which links to the loggedin users xprofile page. Using the menu page in the wordpress dashboard, I tried to add a custom link using $bp_loggedin_user_domain(), but this doesn’t work. It wants me to put in a URL address starting with http. Since profile pages are dynamic based on the member who is logged in, I have no idea how to do this. Any ideas.
You can achieve that with a membership plugin. A quick search of the WordPress repository will turn up several: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=membership
My personal favorite is s2member… it does everything, and then some!

Latest BP install
WP Simple Community BuddyPress Theme
Thank you guys for all the help thus far all of my issues have pretty much been resolved but this registration problem is a huge headache.
When people create an account everything goes fine and it goes to the page that says an activation email will be sent but it never is. The registered user does show up in the admin panel under users but their registration is not active.
I have tried changing themes, uninstalling and reinstalling both BP and WP. I have deactivated every plug in and tried every compatible SMTP plug in. The SMTP plug in creates an error that says the SMTP server is not responding when a test email is sent. So far nothing has worked.
Does anyone have another solution to try or has anyone using the same installs had any success and can share how to fix it?
Is it possible to deactivate the themes log in and registration and use a plug in instead? I tried to do this but didn’t really know what I was doing.
If it helps my site is verbradio.comAs always your help is appreciated.

CheersHello all,
I apologize in advance for my ignorance regarding BuddyPress.
I currently have a WordPress site for my organization. I just installed the BuddyPress plug-in and am looking to allow certain people (our international partners, but nobody else) to be able to log-in to our website.
1) How can I create a log-in tab?
2) How can I ensure that only certain people are able to create user accounts and log-in?
3) Once those people are logged-in, is there any way to have a private section of the site that only they can access? On there would be access to fellow members’ profiles, an ability to post documents or photos to a forum thread, private message other members, etc?Thank you!!
