BuddyPress

I’ve already done that. With only the BP plugin enabled and even using the default template for Buddypress I get all my old comments showing that I posted them and linking to my member page.

If I disable […]

fair dues – I’ll forgo the experience though

@shanebp ’truly awful’ is a rather strong turn of phrase, the developer is quite well known in the community and might be upset by that – I’ve no actual experience of the plugin so can offer no opinion either way.

@giftoly True – no answer to that one sadly. You should be getting your posts showing in your ’Your Activity’ page though?

@oklamokla – that theme has not been updated for some time and support for that theme has been dropped by the developers. You can use a WP theme and install the BP Template Pack plugin to go through the BP […]

== . My question is how do I fix it so that my old user comments show as if they were posted by that user instead of defaulting to me all of a sudden? ==

WP/BP versions? You’re referring to comments in blog […]

Prime example.. @hnla is your mention name but how do you know that without looking at everyones profile ?

@hugo

Thanks, your post then showed in my mentions list but nothing else in any.

Also what’s stopping a display name being unique and therefore, how do I know @hugo goes to yourself and not others ?

Cheers!

@hellsailor you do not ”move” to BuddyPress. BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin, so you add this plugin to your WordPress installation.

That’s a theme issue. Contact theme author.

@giftoly

try changing your display name to something different from login, that appears to circumvent an issue with activity stream then you posts should appear under your activity, also whenever replying […]

‘Events’ isn’t a feature of BuddyPress as such nor of WP so can’t really advise on that – I presume this is a custom plugin, perhaps something like buddyvents? which I think can make use of blogs […]

BuddyStream offer support on their website for registered users, so check out http://buddystream.net/ for help from that plugin’s authors.

WP/BP versions? What have you changed recently in your installation? Change to bp-default theme and deactivate plugins except BuddyPress to start troubleshooting.

Password is incorrect

Apologies you are right MS doesn’t give the same options, network admin settings screen does perform the register enable function but I can’t see how to set a default signup role – another reason perhaps that I […]

It’s an option tied to the registration process, you get to enable or disable site registration and then to set what role is assigned to new signups. It will be part of the admin settings for sites rather than […]

Initial user roles is a WP aspect, check your WP general settings page.
