In reply to: Buddypress new user
Hi, please do not create a new topic because no one has responded to you yet.
To start, are you using the BuddyPress Default theme?
In reply to: Questions about finding plugin status on bp siteWordPress plugin pages usually show the compatibility version as set by the plugin author.
Recent date can be viewed by clicking on the “Development log” link on the plugin page’s right sidebar.
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress (view the right hand sidebar for the link)For status updates, you’ll have to either:
– post on the plugin’s support forum
– find the author’s website / Twitter account and ping that person.For plugin compatibility, check out this codex page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ (this might need to be updated)In reply to: From Roadmap, basic privacyTo update this thread, basic profile privacy is currently being worked on:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695It will most likely be a plugin before it is included within the main BuddyPress core code.
Timetable for release (if I were to guess) would be late this year / early next year.In reply to: Site Wide Activity without friendsActivity is wide open even without friends out of the box.
Example can be found on testbp.org:
http://testbp.org/activityTo disable the friends component, login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “BuddyPress > Components”, uncheck “Friend Connections” and save.
Then navigate to the sitewide activity stream, which by default is located at:
hxxp://example.com/activity.If this is not what you had in mind, please elaborate!
In reply to: Forums not working – have I configured correctly?Hi, to make sure you have setup your forums properly, please try following the steps listed under “Set up a new bbPress installation”:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#forums-setup
Then follow the steps to create a new group forum under “Enable Forum for each Group” at the link above.After you have done that, try making a post in a group forum.
I replied to your post on testbp.org:
http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248/forum/topic/can-you-post-a-chart-or-videoJust post the link in question (like a YouTube video) on its own line.
If you are using some forum plugin like a WYSIWYG editor, that might intefere with it.
In reply to: Removing GroupsYou can delete them manually if you are the site admin by navigating to the group in question. Then click on the “Admin” tab and next, click on the “Delete” button.
Or try a group management plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/It could. WordPress’ bundled version of jQuery adds an extra line so jQuery runs in noConflict mode by default.
Some plugins that use jQuery could break. Like Paul mentioned, try it and see!
Sounds like a good candidate for an enhancement ticket.
Please create a new ticket here:

In reply to: Buddypress site tracking misses most blogsYou could try running the function – `bp_blogs_record_existing_blogs()` – once and see if the missing blogs are repopulated.
If not, then there is something wrong with the logic of `bp_blogs_record_existing_blogs()`.
Regarding the email issue, try the solution listed here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/#registerIn reply to: [Resolved] Buddypress community and public contentIf you need your users to create the nodes on the frontend, you’ll have to include some type of frontend post editor.
Frontend Editor by scribu works with custom post types and should hopefully work for most of your needs:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-end-editor/As for BuddyPress, BuddyPress 1.5 has some hooks in the activity stream component so you could potentially add custom post types in the activity stream when such a post is made.
The hook you will be interested in particular is “bp_blogs_record_post_post_types” located in /bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php.
Hope that helps!
You could try putting your tutorial content in the /registration/activate.php template.
Because if the user activates their account, that will technically be the first time they are ready to explore your site. This will only be shown after the user activates their account and they will never see this again.
That should probably work for your needs.
In reply to: Pointed out a cause of the crop tool vanishing.I can’t duplicate this.
To test, I’m using the BuddyPress Default theme.
I navigated to my WP profile and changed my nickname to “New Name”. Then attempted to change my avatar and was able to.
In reply to: Avatar IssuesIt could be a theme issue as well. What happens if you switch the theme to BuddyPress Default? Does the crop box work properly? If so, check the CSS in your custom theme to see if you’re modifying the crop box.
In reply to: Layout of Register pageCheck your WP theme for a folder called “registration” and a file called “register.php” inside this folder.
If you don’t have this folder and file, copy it over from /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/. See if that fixes your problems.
If you have the register.php template, open it up and customize the layout; you’ll need a tiny bit of experience with HTML and CSS to do this.
In reply to: User documentationThe only way to import generated profile fields at the moment is to do a straight database export of the xprofile field tables and then import them into your new site. (These database tables are “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” and “wp_bp_xprofile_groups” by default.)
The codex is basically a WordPress blog. I believe everyone who has an account with buddypress.org should be able to login at codex.wordpress.org/wp-admin/ and post something. Though, your post might be held as a draft until someone with higher permissions can look at it.
If you have ideas for codex articles, please feel free to post them. If you encounter problems, let us know.
There isn’t a single document to reference for documentation. I don’t believe WordPress has a document like that available on their codex. (I could be wrong though!)
In reply to: Language files deleted after upgrading #2Read this codex article to properly customize language files for BuddyPress:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/In reply to: Buddy Press Back End Lost to Fatal ErrorTo restore your WP admin dashboard, login to your WordPress install via FTP or cPanel and rename the “buddypress-classifieds” directory to something else like djoep recommended.

BuddyPress Classifieds is an older plugin that hasn’t been updated for BP 1.5.
For BP 1.5 info, you should read these articles:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-theme-compatibility/
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/In reply to: WordPress Plugin Not being appliedDepends on what you mean by “single” in BuddyPress.
If you mean a user’s profile page, that would be `bp_is_user()`; for a group page, it would be `bp_is_group()`.
In reply to: Getting BP to play nice with WPBP comes with its own conditional template tags.
You should check out /bp-core/bp-core-template.php for most of the core ones.
Other components like groups and members have their template tags available in /bp-X/bp-X-template.php (where X the BP component).Hope that helps!
In reply to: Having user admin menu in a sidebar widgetUse this template tag:
`bp_get_loggedin_user_nav()`This is a reported bug:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3687Keep your eye on that ticket for updates.
Read this to add back the delete link in the activity stream:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#themeIn reply to: Question Mark after Username!?!The question mark has been removed in BP 1.5.
If you want to remove the question mark in your theme as well, then navigate to your active theme’s folder and open up /members/single/member-header.php.
Next, find the question mark and remove the code.
