Wow – this whole thread is “exactly” what I’ve been wanting to accomplish. Did you ever get beyond

But when I edit a topic with e.g. 3 tags, edit screen shows only 1 tag selected. After I save the edited topic, all tags are lost.

@strategeek, @jonathan-mangual &/or @23creative?

I’m soooo close – but equally stumped as to why all the tags vanish after an edit. -Jeff

Folks – I realize this post is a now a few years old, but I’m embarking on doing “exactly” what @wp_maybe outlined in his original post “I am trying to implement a search box inside a Buddypress group that searches on the contents of the Group Forum.”

I’ve looked through all the code-modifications, suggestions by @tobyhawkins + links (on sevenspark.com above…) – so I’m now just putting things in place to build the search within individual BuddyPress Group Forums (for Public, Private & Hidden BP Groups).

Q: Was there a final, complete consensus of “exactly” what’s req’d to accomplish this? I’m only asking b/c I don’t what to re-invent the wheel via a slew of testing w/ the various code-bits above.

Any input or insights would be swell, -Jeff

Thanks so much @korobochkin for sharing this in such detail! I’m going to test this out from start to finish on a 100% fresh bbPress, multi-site setup over the next few weeks. I’m thinking this is ‘finally’ a rock-solid sol’n to managing bbPress on multi-site, particularly in situations where the root site has no obvious visual/branding/etc relationship to the other sites on the network.

This sol’n looks very solid, much better than what I was previously doing with the Login With Ajax (lwa) plugin, wp-members (plugin) & hard-coded redirections (which while worked, seemed very ‘hacky’) & would not work with the [bbp_register] shortcodes, etc.

Thanks again Koyla!

@korobochkin – you’re 100% correct, in that there should be no difference between sub-domain & sub-folder setups for making this work as you described.

If you could share/paste the actual code for the req’d changed files – that would be wonderful!

If for whatever reason the actual code can’t be pasted here on the forums, you can always email the files (if you like) to me ( cubedit {at} jeffacubed {dot} com )

спасибо

I’d say @korobochkin – nailed the solution on this lingering problem with sub-site (only) user-registration, bbPress & multi-site!! Any chance you’d be able to share the exact code/steps you took to resolve this?

It sounds like hooking into the wp_signup_location filter opens the door 🙂

I’ve been trying to work through the steps/logic that Kolya has shared – but I’ve yet to make the entire piece work (though I know it will, eventually)

I’m not entirely sure it’s a WP multisite core-architecture issue or a specific WP + BP in a multisite environment issue. When I have some ‘testing’ time set aside, I’m going to work through freshly re-creating this entire multisite user-registration conundrum w/ bbPress. The non-plugin sol’n involves having a distinct wp-signup.php files for each separate site across the multisites, though my first attempt at that did not work (likely something in the custom wp-signup.php I created, that I overlooked/mis-understood).

@lauramelos – As an intermediate sol’n (if your multisite bbPress user registration issue was the same as mine, in that all new registrations were re-directed back to the ‘root’ site), then Login with Ajax (LWA) did resolve that issue, at least for me (i.e new user registrations complete on the site the user is registering from, not re-directing back to the root (site ID=1)).

It’s on my ‘to do’ list to fully understand what’s really at play here…

-Jeff

[jeffacubed]

Thx for taking a closer look Stephen! ( @netweb ) – this is seemingly simple – though not simple in seamless execution in a multi-site setup. I’m fairly sure the best way to handle this auto re-direction to the root when registering from WPMS sub-sites is to create a unique wp-signup.php file for any sub-site where one DOES NOT want the re-direction to the root site on registration. I started to test Chris Wiegman’s (& others) method:

http://chriswiegman.com/2010/02/using-a-custom-wp-signup-page-with-wordpress-mu/

Which would work – though I didn’t got deep enough (yet) to get the re-direction(s) to the root to stop-happening.

My ‘temporary’ sol’n @hamsterdj involves two plugins:

1. Login with Ajax

2. WP-Members

While my ‘temporary’ sol’n 100% works (for now) – I’m going to dig-in & try my hand at the custom wp-signup.php sol’n for each sub-site registration as I’m more in favour of soln’s of this nature that do not 100% rely on plugins!

-Jeff

[jeffacubed]

@cobraeyes – I’ve wondered about this exact same bbPress multisite user-registration issue (re-directing to wp-signup.php on the root site regardless of which site the user is registering on…)

Did you ever find a reasonable solution/resolution?

-Jeff

[jeffacubed]

Hi @lamarant,

This ‘anamoly’ nearly drover me bonkers, until I finally discovered the ‘BuddyPress Group Email Subscription’ (when activated) plugin lead to the ‘Subscribe’ & ‘“Notify me of follow-up replies via e-mail” button/links to disappearing in bbPress Topics. In my case I’m using BuddyPress 1.6.4 & bbPress 2.3 RC1 & WP 3.5.1

I’m not sure is this could be your issue, but it 100% was mine. I still need to dig-into the code to see what’s really causing the conflict, but (for-now) DE-activating the ‘BuddyPress Group Email Subscription’ does resolve this issue for me.

Hope that helps,

-Jeff

You know what @ashenkargmailcom – I think you’re onto something with the common-thread point. I too am using the ‘member’ plugin to adjust/tweak user-roles + I have the ‘member’ plugin network activated. The odd thing is even as a super-admin I experience the topics issue we’re been working through here – but I think you’re right about the common thread. Over the weekend I’ll disable the ‘member’ plugin on my mirrored site & see what I find.

Great idea √

[jeffacubed]

right-O @ashenkargmailcom – I’ll head on over this week & chime-in. I’m still never 100% resolved this on my end, though on multisite I’ve by-passed the ‘inability post new topics’ issue by only activating bp & bbp on the same site (non-network activated for both). Still, there’s a deeper, if rather obscure issue at play.

[jeffacubed]

@ashenkargmailcom – I did make ‘some-sort’ of progress on this today, taking a previous multisite install (wp 3.5.1) and then running the latest bp + bbp ‘trunk’ (bp 1.7 beta2 & bbp 2.3 beta1). In this test I had:

a. Buddypress network activated
b. bbPress only activated in the root (site 1 in my case of a 3 site multisite)

The inability to create group forum topics persists with the default buddypress theme, my Genesis Theme (Agency running Genesis Connect) HOWEVER, creating new topics (w/in group forums) does seem to work if I activate the twenty-twelve theme OR activating the genesis theme (agency) without Genesis Connect. I’m still not 100% sure what this means, though it leads me to think the the issue may not be in the database (which is where I previously thought the malfunction-at-the-junction happened…).

In a second test, I did this:

a. Buddypress only activated in the root (site 1 in my case of a 3 site multisite)
b. bbPress only activated in the root (site 1 in my case of a 3 site multisite)

& any theme (genesis w/ genesis connect, buddypress default) will allow the full creation of group topics. The same applies (as Fee) pointed out above if both bp & bbp are network activated. The only unworkable situation (for me) seems to be bp (network active) & bbp (single (root) site active).

Still not resolved (to my liking) but perhaps eliminating some variables…

[jeffacubed]

@ashenkargmailcom – I’m going to take a fresh crack at all of this next week (Feb 25+). For now ‘network enabling’ bbpress ‘works’ but like we’ve already discussed in the other thread/topic not exactly a robust sol’n, more of an awkward, potentially dangerous band-aid imho. I plan to make a 100% mirror of a clients production site (wp_ms 3.5.1, bp 1.6.4, bbp 2.2.3) & see if I can’t figure out exactly what’s happening on the groups > topics front, as in why new topics/replies can’t be created within the actual buddypress group > forum.

Stay tuned,
Jeff

[jeffacubed]

@alexander – hmm, my links don’t seem to be working in the bbPress forums (odd). If you google “bbpress multisite cannot post group topics” you’ll find a topic by @wdfee on the same issue. For whatever reason, none of my bbPress links seem to be working (very odd…)

I have a funny feeling someone will figure this out soon, perhaps even me or you, as even my ‘temporary’ sol’n is to leave bbPress activated site-wide, which I don’t really want to do. I’m with you on ‘fix/understand the problem’ rather than mask it over. If I discover anything, I’ll definitely let you know. Like I mentioned, I’m almost positive I fixed this same issue a few months ago…

Jeff

[jeffacubed]

The actual link is below…

[jeffacubed]

btw, is a link to another multisite user experiencing the same issue around the inability create new topics/replies via the front-end of the group > forums area.

[jeffacubed]

Alexander – I’ve been experiencing EXACTLY what you describe on a Buddypress (1.6.4) + bbPress (2.2.4) multisite (WordPress 3.5.1), in that I can create new group topics from the back end (check), from the site-wide forums area (check) but NOT within the actual buddypress group area (front-end). As odd as this might sound, I did try enabling bbPress (over the entire multisite) which then enabled me to post/create new topics & replies from the front-end of the groups/forums area. If I switch bbPress back to being enabled only on site 1 (i.e the root in my multisite environment) then I’m back to the inability to post/create topics & replies via the front-end, though again this all works from the back-end + via the site-wide forums area (i.e new topic to a specific group forum works 100%).

So, I’ve concluded that somewhere along the line, there’s some sort of corruption, likely in one of the db tables &/or relationships. You’re not the only person I’ve heard of who has had this exact problem over the past few months w bbPress + buddypress + WP multisite. As a test, I created a multisite BuddyPress + bbPress fresh install, and the ability to create/post topics & replies from the front-end (within the group forums area) works 100% (i.e no disappearing). This test also works whether bbPress was enabled sitewide or a a specific site in the multisite network.

A very confusing problem indeed. The frustrating piece is I’ve actually come across this problem before (~ 3 months) ago, resolved it, though now I can’t 100% recall the steps I took to rectify!

I think I’ll tackle this one again, as the idea of needed to enable bbPress as a network activation to resolve the issue is not the most ideal situation, at least not for me.

Good luck!

-Jeff

[jeffacubed]

@wdfee Wow – I am SOO glad I stumbled across this y’day – as I was having the EXACT same issue related to the inability to post/create new (forum) topics within buddypress groups after I migrated all the group forums to bbpress 2.2.3.

My config is WP 3.5 multisite, bbPress 2.2.3, BuddyPress 1.6.3, using bp-default theme &/or Genesis Agency w/ Genesis Connect.

It was driving me bonkers trying to comprehend what could be wrong. Regardless, I de-activated bbpress on the root site (site 1), & re-activated bbpress ‘sitewide’ and now I can post new topics w/ buddypress group forums. Like you, I could always create new topics for group forums via the back-end & from the front-end via the sitewide forums, but the front-end was a no-go (w/in the actual group-forum) until I activated bbpress sitewide. As a test, I created a multisite ‘from scratch’ installation (WP 3.5 multisite, bbPress 2.2.3, BuddyPress 1.6.3, using bp-default theme) & activated both buddypress & bbpress from site 1 (root) and everything works 100% as expected from the start. I still don’t 100% understand the nature of this sol’n, but I’ll take it for now!

Anyways, THANKS for posting this, as this forum thread was the tipping point to get a major [buddypress x bbpress] open-innovation project launched ‘only x1 month late’ √
