Make sure the code is in bp-custom.php and between the php tags

> Should I remove all BuddyPress files in the theme template?

Try that.
We don’t know anything about your theme.
BP treats all themes the same, premium or free.
But since BP 1.7 (?), theme handling has changed.

Rather than try to ‘fix’ all those issues, imo. your time would be better spent switching to a new theme. It’s an opportunity :)…[Read more]

So there are 2 different databases, yes?

How time sensitive is the data?
For example, if you only need it every 24 hours, I would set up a wp-cron job on the BP site and write the total members value to a file.
Then call that file value into the non-BP site.

You may be interested in this premium plugin that has a few more features:

Please see the ticket that r-a-y referenced.

You can patch the file using the changeset:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/8305

Or wait for the release of BP.2.0.1

try:
<a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>profile/change-avatar">Avatar</a>

You’re probably going to get a series of fatal errors.

If they are all similar – as these 2 were – remove the ampersand &
So for the latest error:
&$paged_users will be $paged_users

That is an old version of BP.

You could try changing the apply_filters to
return apply_filters( 'bp_core_get_users', BP_Core_User::get_users( $type, $per_page, $page, $user_id, $include, $search_terms, $populate_extras ), $params );

That might get you past the fatal error.
You update BP, but you cannot jump all the way to BP 2.0.
You’ll have…[Read more]

I don’t know of a plugin that does that.

The problem is that usernames are unique, but display names are not.

Nice – and obvious 🙂

Querying the db directly should be avoided if possible – [laziness and bad habit].

untested, goes in bp-custom.php


function oc_filter_ajax_querystring( $querystring = '', $object = '' ) {

}
add_filter( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'oc_filter_ajax_querystring', 20, 2 );

>it would be possible to make friends, groups, posts, etc in a full interactive way without a registration?

No.
Everything is dependent on knowing who the person is, iow. their id
Assignment of an id is done during registration.

You should state the versions of BP & WP being used.

You can always query the db directly.
In this case, probably:

global $bp, $wpdb;
$wpdb->get_var( "SELECT secondary_item_id FROM {$bp->activity->table_name} WHERE id = $comment_id ");

or maybe
global $bp, $wpdb;
$wpdb->get_var( "SELECT item_id FROM {$bp->activity->table_name} WHERE id =…[Read more]

Did you try:
bp_get_the_notification_item_id()
from
buddypressbp-notificationsbp-notifications-template.php

I cannot duplicate this issue [ but found something similar ].

Based on your screenshot – it looks like the ‘Who can invite others to this group?’ option on the right side does not have a radio button selected.

Try selecting one of them and then ‘Save Changes’.
Post back with the results.

also – when you are creating a new group and you get…[Read more]

Using BP 2.0, WP 3.9, 2012 theme – I am unable to duplicate that error.

It doesn’t sound theme related, but can you try switching to another theme ?

Have you tried deactivating any other plugins ?
Any custom code in plugins/bp-custom.php ?

If you still get the error, post back here with the WP version and ALL your settings…[Read more]

@canadadre

Can registered users upload media (photos, video, music)?

Yes, there are plugins for that, like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/

Can I modify the themes to allow for streams to be viewed similar to Pinterest or Tumblr? (I am familiar with PHP, CSS etc).

You can do anything you like – it’s open source 🙂
