BuddyPress.org

Haven’t tested this, but try adding your message in a variable:
$message = 'This is my message with a <a href="http://buddypress.org">link</a>';

bp_core_add_message( $message );

As far as I know, there is no automatic matching plugin based on a user’s profile fields.

However, users can manually search for other members.

Use the BP profile search plugin for more fine-tuned searches:

@footybible – Yes please send me a link. If you have an email addy, use http://scr.im and post it that way.

@shagazulu – Sorry for the late reply. I can confirm that the plugin doesn’t replace the “What’s new, user” on the activity front page, but the username shows up correctly on the profile post form. Just added some code that fixes this on the activity directory / front page. Look for it in the next few […]

Re: friend requests page – you have to be logged in in order to view that page. This is a usability bug; will post it on the BP Trac.

@hotforwords – Sorry for missing your forum thread. I should check the plugin groups more often. One thing to note: if the sender is trying to mass-PM a bunch of people and s/he’s not a friend of one of the recipients, the PM will automatically be blocked. This is a spam prevention measure. Another thing is […]

@footybible – We’re not always online at the time you want to be!

Try deactivating and deleting the plugin, then install the plugin manually:

If the problem persists let me know and I’ll look into it.

Some recommend copying the default CSS over to your stylesheet. Benefits of this approach is one less data request and full control over your styles (good when you’re designing a completely different look from bp-default). Negative is if your child theme completely relies on the bp-default theme with little design changes, you might as well […]

Just tested this on BP 1.2.6 and your example works for me.

What version of BuddyPress are you using? This was a bug in a previous version of BP.

Re #1 – BP 1.2.7 will fix this.

If you can’t wait until then, try the solution posted in this thread:

Re #2 – Most likely a child theme issue. Can you…[Read more]

@zomex – You might want to try this in your theme’s functions.php:
remove_action( 'init', 'bp_core_add_admin_bar_css' );

if ( !is_admin() )
add_action( 'init', 'bp_core_add_admin_bar_css' );

Untested, but give it a shot.

Actually, based on your report, it’s hard to give a definitive answer. What exactly is breaking in the admin…

Please don’t bump your thread after two hours; a good window for bumping is 24 hours.

Also no one can tell based on your screenshot what exactly needs to be fixed in the CSS.
I’m guessing it’s a padding / margin or z-index issue.

If possible, can you post a link to your site?

@techguy – Good call. Thanks for the suggestion.

When I wrote the plugin, I wasn’t thinking about external plugins!
Will make its way into the next release.

Custom permalink structure shouldn’t matter, but have you tried resaving the permalink settings?
Also try disabling any plugins that might interfere with this. Including redirect and caching plugins.

As a last resort, you can always create a page template copying exactly what is in /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php and setting…[Read more]

bp_is_member() returns true if you’re on a member’s profile page.

Try that in your header.

Make sure you have a /bp-themes/bp-default/ folder complete with stylesheet in your /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ folder.

If you don’t, manually reupload the BuddyPress plugin to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder:
