Try reading up on enabling a third-party provider for WordPress’ embedding capability:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#How_Can_I_Add_Support_For_More_Websites.3F

If you want to use Wistia code, which I’m guessing you need to use the “ or “ tags, you’ll need to bypass the activity filters that are in place by default, so malicious content will not get the chance to be executed.

If you trust your userbase, you can disable these filters by reading this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/make-users-able-to-use-and-in-their-posts

Or this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/embedded-video-in-forums-and-streams/

If you’re planning on just embedding the Wistia video on a blog post, just enable some form of WordPress plugin that allows you to embed content like this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/embed-object/

This is the default behaviour, which is kind of counter-intuitive.

I would recommend using the BP Group Email subscription plugin instead (which I believe you’re thinking of):
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

@footybible – We’re not always online at the time you want to be!

Try deactivating and deleting the plugin, then install the plugin manually:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress-usernames-only.zip

If the problem persists let me know and I’ll look into it.

Cool idea. It sounds like BP is a good fit, with BP groups used as towns.

Some places to start:
– Change the word ‘group’ to ‘town’ throughout BP text and URLs: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
– Setting up group forums: https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/buddypress-forum/ (see the bottom section)
– EventPress, a BP plugin for events: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eventpress/

Good luck!

The code is not working if the wordpress installation is Multisite and buddypress .I tried and all the users online are having the same name as ” You ” .I mean that if four users are online and chatting with each other . All of them are identified as the same person “you” at all time. I didn’t get fix for this .

Could any body help me?

Be sure to back up your site before you do it.

You’ll have to tweak the header file a bit to assign unique classes that correspond to those tab links. But while you’re at it, you might as well just turn those tabs into Custom Menu tabs (WP 3.0 feature) like @modemlooper detailed here… http://modemloop.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/buddypress-drop-down-menus/ (just take those li classes and drop in some background pics for your tabs).

If you google wordpress themes, click on the first link (should a wordpress.org one) and then search for keyword “buddypress.” This will bring up all the current themes that are available to you. WPMU sells some, as well. I think for an alumni theme, you’ll probably want to start of my mapping out your site and organizing what information will be most pertinent to your users and then go from there.

Try this plugins… so far works pretty well

I am very excited about the prospects of full integration of bbpress, buddypress, and wordpress as plugins. I am standing up two sites under wordpress with buddypress and am hoping the following will be true:

1. bbPress will fully integrate with the WP/BP profiles
2. bbPress will have the option of functioning and displaying as a standalone forum in addition to all of the groups, etc. ‘integration’ with BP
3. bbPress will integrate with WP by setting up a forum where each blog entry posts to a subforum by category so that discussion can take place outside of the comments (separate discussion from comments in other words)
4. bbPress will be spider-friendly ! This is of course a big one

Thanks I am looking forward to this project . . .

Ok, I found it. I had to manually add a piece of code to the wp-config file so that the Network area would show under the Tools menu, then proceeded from there to get it set up. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Very helpful. Thanks.
