BuddyPress.org

Yep, you can do this just fine, and won’t loose any data. I suggest you set up a test site and have a go before you do it on your live site 🙂

We know there are many issues with the site. Several of us have been working hard on various things to improve the experience.

What version of BuddyPress are you using?

I wonder if it’s not appearing to expand if we’re storing an excerpted version of the content in the database.

Would someone with this problem let us know of you can recreate it on testbp.org? You can create […]

It would be nice to build out the default theme’s search options for this sort of thing, but it’s not a high priority 🙂

It is possible, but would require custom code; that’s probably why you haven’t found a forum topic with something to copy and paste 🙂

This isn’t really a BuddyPress question, is it? FB customisation is all about the opengraph tags that you built. I can’t even look at what you’ve done because you haven’t linked to your site 🙂

What are you specifying for the “og:url” tag?

If you share a link to your site, someone here can have a click around and try to find out a bit more.

Ah. Looks like your permalinks use index.php as a prefix. I don’t think BuddyPress works well with those. I don’t know if anyone has a workaround for this particular issue until we fix it in BuddyPress.

You don’t need a plugin for this; it’s a web server issue. Investigate .htaccess redirects.

Maybe CubePoints?

Several ways, but check out this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/

To disable activations (I would strongly recommend against this – it’d let spammers access your site much more easily), […]

I’ve never seen any errors regarding “you do not have sufficient permissions”. Are you trying to use site wide forums, group forums, or both?

You’re using a custom theme. Take a look at https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme

BuddyPress.org has its own problems which are not related to the current released versions of BP and bbP at all. bbPress 1.0 will be continued to be distributed with BuddyPress for the foreseeable future, but […]

What does that have to do with Welcome Pack? Make a new thread please 🙂

No, read the original question. It never asked about the activity stream; it does what is described in te first post.

It’s about a million times more useful to me if you also tell me which achievement types don’t work, too. how else can I try to fix them?

Disabling Achievements does NOT break profiles, unless you’ve customised your theme and not handled that case properly.
