  1. Boone,

    I saw that you helped a guy with the issue in the thread below:

    http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/more-privacy-options-private-blogs-and-activity-streams

    I have been trying to solve that problem for my own site (http://bolagskartan.com/members/support/) for a long time. And I thought your post would solve the problem for good =). But, it did not work for me =(. But somehow, I believe you know the problem of this and I am therefore emailing you asking for help on this.

    Any help appreciated!

  2. Fredrik, I am working on a real plugin-based solution for version 1.2 of BuddyPress. I’ve got a more or less working copy on my test server, and it should be cleaned up and in the repo in the next week or so.

    In the meantime, if you’re running version 1.1.x of BuddyPress, the core hack I describe here should work: http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/hidden-blog-posts-from-private-blogs-in-sidewide-activity-stream#post-32757

  4. HELP!!

    Hello, Installed buddypress and get the following error.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_add_nav_item() in /home/content/14/4457114/html/wp-content/plugins/group-forum-subscription-for-buddypress/bp-group-forum-subscription.php on line 500

    I can’t login to my wordpress admin and going to the site directly results in the same message.

  5. Hi Ron,

    Bring your blog back by accessing your site via FTP and renaming, or deleting, bp-group-forum-subsciption.php.

    As for why the problem happened: What version of BP are you running?

  6. Hi Boone,

    Just a quick question about getting accepted into the repository. I sent in a request on the 1st of March, and haven’t heard anything yet.

    How long, in your experience, does it take for a new plugin application to be processed and accepted by WordPress, thus giving you access to the repository?

    Thanks,

    Chris.

  7. Hi Chris,

    It varies – a lot. Sometimes acceptance takes a few hours. The last time I submitted, I sent the request around 8pm, and the email was waiting for me the next morning. Sometimes it takes three or four days.

    My understanding is that there’s one guy who handles the requests. He does it all manually, and there may be a certain extent to which he vets things. That doesn’t mean he rejects things haphazardly, but it might take a bit longer if it’s your first time submitting, as he might take more time to see if you’re legit (looking at the plugin URL you listed, for example) than he would for a regular contributor.

    Good luck! – Boone

    Is the best WP/BP education site I’ve ever seen.
    I’m a fan!
