Will update the codex article now.
Thanks for debugging and posting your thoughts. I use bp-custom.php myself for any custom slug settings.

You need to create a WordPress network first before you can use BuddyPress’ blog tracking functionality.

Have you read this article?

Hi,

You’re correct; you should add both defines in wp-config.php.

Does that work?

BuddyPress 1.5 created pages for your directory pages.

In the WP dashboard, navigate to “Pages”, and try and find a page that says “Sites” or “Blogs” or whatever your blog directory is called. Rename the page slug to ‘sites’.

Then in your bp-custom.php file, use:
`define( “BP_BLOGS_SLUG”, “sites” );
define( “BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”, “sites” );`

After you’ve installed BuddyPress, what happens when you switch to the bp-default theme?
In the WP dashboard, navigate to “Appearance > Themes” after you have installed BuddyPress and select “BuddyPress Default 1.5”

Do not activate BP Template Pack yet. What happens?

Does BuddyPress function on the site?

You can throw in the following code in your /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file:
`function my_group_avatar_default() {
global $bp;
// change ‘identicon’ to anything listed here:
// http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/images/#default-image
$bp->grav_default->group = ‘identicon’;
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘my_group_avatar_default’ );`

Read what mercime wrote here:

See if that helps to some extent.

Do you have access to your server’s error log? If so, can you post the errors?

Do you have BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG defined?

What happens when you activate a default theme like TwentyEleven or TwentyTen and then activate BuddyPress?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

Did you disable the Activity Stream component? If so, try enabling it under “BuddyPress > Components” in the WP admin area.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

Can’t tell for sure by looking at the screenshot.

My guess is your avatars are being resized via CSS.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

1) Copy over /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/ to your theme’s directory
3) Copy over plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/forums/ to your theme’s directory
4) Your theme is using an older version of the bp-default JS. You’ll probably have to merge your changes with BP 1.5’s version – /bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

Definitely not related to BuddyPress.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

Unfortunately, not without a lot of unhooking.

JesperA – update your custom language file:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ (scroll down to “Updating your custom language file”).

For the settings problem, try re-running the BP Template Pack wizard. This should copy over the directory “members/single/settings/” to your WP theme.

If the wizard doesn’t work, manually copy over /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/ to your WP theme’s directory. See if that fixes your problem.

Let me know what happens.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

You need to update your BP templates to change is_site_admin() to is_super_admin().

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

The BP Template Pack styles are being a little greedy. I’ll take a look at this in the next day or so with the Technozoic theme.

Keep your eye on:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

Not sure if you can.

Might be better to just create a new message with the people you want to send your message to.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

@walid3 – This is a valid concern. Please post a ticket – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket/

BuddyPress currently checks if alphanumeric characters are inputted for the username during registration validation.

Unless there’s a valid reason for the alphanumeric check, it might be wise to just piggyback off of WP’s username validation functions.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 1 month ago]

BP 1.2.x has a bug where bp_core_is_user_spammer() is not returned as a boolean, but as an integer. This causes some problems with spammer checks.

For example, if a super admin is on a person’s profile who did not activate their account via email, in the BuddyBar, that person would be incorrectly cast as a spammer.

Haven’t checked this in BP 1.5, but it’s definitely worth looking into.

Various notification settings are scattered throughout the BuddyPress codebase; each setting is saved as user meta.

To disable them, you have to set each one to “no” for each member.

eg. To disable email notifications for a member, you can use:
`update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘notification_messages_new_message’, ‘no’ );`

You’ll have to pass the user’s ID for the `$user_id` variable.

In BP 1.2.9, to find notification settings, try looking at /plugins/buddypress/bp-X.php, where X is each component’s main loader and search for “notification_settings”, then grab the meta key and rinse and repeat:
eg. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.9/bp-messages.php#L254

@tommyhoang – If you’re using that tutorial, remove any custom CSS you may have for the header and everything should work out fine.
