Buddy Press – Version 1.2.8
Word Press – 3.1.1,
Wordpress is installed as directory
Did not Upgrade WP – This is a new install via dreamhost using Buddpress Press & Pages (template)
Buddy Template Pack – Installed & Activated
Dynamic Widgets Activated
And standard WP default plugins (jetpack, askimat etc…) -but currently all not activated
I’ve been looking for something that does that. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/scrolling-activity/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bar/ – this plugin works but it doesn’t have to go in the footer, with a little tweaking you can put it just about anywhere. Only thing is I haven’t figured out how to show more than one activity at a time.
Yep.. Ehmm.. Let me try and find it 
here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bar/
It displays them in the footer, not sure if you want it like this..
Greetings,
I’m still a newbie at WP and BP so forgive me if this is blindingly easy/obvious.
I’m putting together a SP site that has BP installed. So far everything’s working great. As long as you are wthin the BP generated pages, all author/user links take yoou to the BP profile page. But when I’m outside of the BP pages, like looking at a post page or a list of post excertps, the author links at the bottom of the post take you to the wordpress /author/ pages.
The behavior I’d like to see is that the author link at the bottom of the post take you to the BP profile page. I’d like the /author/ pages to basically disappear from the user interface of the site because you can use the BP profile page for the author to look up the blog posts also.
I dug down into the templates and eventually saw them using the function get_author_posts_url
I am tempted to try to override this function by creating one with the same name in my theme’s functions.php file and then writing similar code to the original function except tweaking it just enough to generate the BP profile URL.
Is that the right approach? Has anyone else done this successfully? Or is there a better way to achieve this goal? I guess I’m a little afraid that changing such a fundamental function might have unintended consequences. And advice or guidance would be appreciated.
WP has a function add_query_arg() that works for this purpose. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_query_arg
You might also be able to save a bit of time (or at least make your code a bit shorter) by using paginate_links() https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links
I am using cometchat quite successfully and it works great with BP. It is a single-user sign in and pulls avatars and passwords from your wordpress/bp site. You can choose to have friend-to-friend chats or make public/ private rooms… You can also choose not to have it appear for non-logged in users. You can also have other modules like Wibya chat… I have had not one issue with it on my site. It is a little heavy for shared-hosting… if you have a VPS 512 Meg plus, you should be fine. It’s well worth the $49 U.S. dollars. They are working on version 3.0 and it should be out within the next 2 months, so it should be getting better (free upgrades for those of you within the year of your purchase).
First, you’ll need to know how to create a shortcode:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API
Then, you’ll need to add the shortcode parameters you just created from the article above in a BP members loop:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/
I am having this same issue. I get the email fine if the new user is created on the WordPress side, but if it is done through BuddyPress I do not get a notification. Any other ideas on this?
I’m overwhelmed by s2Member.
I have PayPal business account with “Website Payments Standard” and what I want:
When the user clicked the “Create a group” button in the Groups Directory page, can I redirect the users instead of Admin (only admin can create a groups) a link to my page that has PayPal code of “Add to cart” with information. How do I configure in s2Member for that matter?
In the future, can I do like Metafilter after sigin-up then have a one time charge?
WordPress settings:
Anyone can register
Role: Contributor
Plugin:
Limit Groups per User
Thanks, Mikey3D
There are a bunch of php pages in Buddypress that have no closing php tag. Is there any particular reason for this? It came to my attention after upgrading WordPress today, which threw a number of errors traced back to improper whitepsace in various plugins, so I went for a mass audit and have come across a few in the buddypress core.
I just updated wordpress to 3.1.1 and the personal activity doesn’t show but if I go to a followers page and look their following section then I see my personal activity there. Has anyone else had this problem after the wordpress update?
since 3.1 I could not seem to manage the new network, using JJJ’s plugin
creating the network, assigning sites seemed to work OK, great. but I’d get a Permanent Redirect Loop.
newnetwork.mysite.org/network/
Looking at other plugins I found that removing:
DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE,
PATH_CURRENT_SITE, and
SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE
directives from the wp-config.php file made everything better.
Phew, though I now wonder why I had those in there in the first place?
Hey folks,
There’s a new version of BuddyPress Multilingual:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/
It works with the current version of BuddyPress and WordPress, in single site and multi-site environments.
While you’re testing it, check out the new activity-stream translation. There’s a video for it here:
BuddyPress Multilingual 1.0.1
Hi peeps,
I am having the same problems after installing buddypress. My widgets and sign-in are at the bottem of the page.
I tried to adapt the BP.css file but that didnt solve anything.
Can somebody take a look at the site and tell me how to fix this?
My knowledge of html and css is at beginner-level.
See: http://www.learningculture.nl/wordpress/
Thank you!
Moved to a new server and am getting this error again. Here are soe details.
1) WordPress 3.1.1 & BuddyPress 1.2.8
2) blogs.dir is chown/chgrp to www-data (the apache user) and set to 777 (recursively).
3) GD is installed.
4) Safe mode is turned off in PHP
When one tries to do an upload, this is what happens …

This was working fine on our old server. So, I am a bit flummoxed. The new setup must be missing something, but what?
Thanks for the help!

I currently have buddypress installed on my site and when a user logs in with an incorrect username and/or password a blank white screen is pulled up. (The URL: http://in-the-weeds.com/wp-login.php) It seems like when there is an error it is pulling up a wordpress login page, but nothing is showing up on that page. I was just wondering if anyone knew of the file I should edit the coding in so that the user is not redirected to a new page when they enter incorrect information, instead of being redirected to a wordpress login page, which is currently blank.
Hi all!
I’m trying to figure out how to redirect a group’s forum subnav to another url once group forums have been merged with Global Forums by @sbrajesh. That ‘landing’ url would be static, with only the group name being dynamically added at the end like so:
http://example.com/siteforums/group-forums/test-group where test-group is the group’s name.
I’ve found a js snippet that enables redirects after headers have been defined, but I’m not sure how to implement it in a function, or if it would need to hook to an action, added to a template, or what
The neat little bit of js in question is #3 on this page: http://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/wordpress-page-redirect
I’ve tried a few amateurish functions but js is really NOT one of my strong points. If anyone could give a hand with some ideas I could try, I’d be very grateful.
Thanks!
Hi, I’d be grateful if someone could offer me some advice on a problem I’ve got that’s probably very simple to resolve. I am however, a novice at this.
I’m using the latest versions of WordPress, Buddypress, bbPress and Platform Pro. When a user wants to register on my site: http://www.bristoldirectors.com, the registration page asks for the member to create a username twice, once at the top of the form, the other at the bottom. Both are compulsory. I find that a bit confusing, and understandably only want registrants to have to fill that out once. I’m also concerned that it can cause problems with a user’s account and how it’s stored in my database later on.
Can anyone tell me why it’s asking for members to register two usernames, and how I can resolve it? Something called deep integration has been mentioned to me, which I half understand, but am wondering if that means installing bbPress again (and all users), and if it will cause further problems with my site?
I’d be grateful for any concrete advice!
Many Thanks,
Justin
Yes, BuddyPress is only a WordPress plugin 
I have installed BuddyPress to my WordPress website that I use for testing things on before I publish them properly. I have my admin account on it and I think it’s great. However, I want my visitors to be able to sign up and use BuddyPress. How would I make that happen?
no no no, you should upload it by using an FTP program, like FileZilla for example (it’s free).
just upload it on your root folder (which is where the files like wp-config.php and the folders wp-admin, wp-includes, and wp-content are). after that, you can use this plugin to set your favicon:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shockingly-simple-favicon/
It works, as I’m using it for myself.
