It would help if you listed the plugins, and details about anything else you have tried such as code snippets.

Did you try https://wordpress.org/plugins/private-bp-pages/ – if so what was the problem?

I’m not sure if it’s useful to you but upgrading to the latest version of buddypress might help as there has been some attention to issues with usernames….

See the following tickets: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5185 and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4622

in the above is an example of user name validation that,…[Read more]

@jerrysc

It’s not clear from your code as you don’t use the code tag….

The error messages suggest that the problem is on line two of your bp-custom.php file.

Is that all that’s in your file and if so, then is <?php the first thing in the file? There should not be any other characters, blank spaces or lines before it. Similarly there should be…[Read more]

You can actually map multiple domains to one wordpress mu site with https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/ … not sure if that helps…

@gparrott

Not really, apart from making sure all plugins are up to date.

If I am worried about a particular plugin and/or it hasn’t been upgraded for a long time, I will check on it’s wordpress.org ‘support’ section as well as the plugin or developer’s website…

I also run a local version of a website to test things out on first.

That fatal error is referencing bp profile widgets plugin…. Can you access your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and either rename or delete that folder. That should de-activate that plugin…..

Edit: you beat me to it….

@xwafflecakes

You should not edit core files.

See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

The line you refer to is in the buddypress.pot file…

Have you got anything in your bp-custom.php or functions.php files (or a custom plugin etc.) that might affect this?

@staion

Try add_filter( 'bp_do_register_theme_directory', '__return_true' ); added to bp-custom.php

See https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-default-theme-moving-forward-with-bp-1-9/ also http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/ supports buddypress according to it’s feature list…. although I haven’t tried it.

@pjbursnall

Though this looks like it might be resolved in bp 1.9

try replacing the ‘wp’ with ‘bp_actions’

function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed', 3 );
remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_personal_feed', 3 );
