BuddyPress has sites with more users so there is no physical limit, however the number of users a particular installation can support is due to a large number of factors including that actual usage profile of each of those users and how you have chosen t host your install. It’s true that the larger sites often have had to undertake some pretty significant customisations in order to support such a large user base.

This should do it for you:

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 10 months ago]

No not natively

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 10 months ago]

I think BP Registration Options is what Most people use

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 10 months ago]

This is a bbPress issue, I’ve raised a ticket on bbPress Trac that would fix the problem:

It’s going to be a new feature for whatever plugin you look at as far as I’m aware. The other one is mass messaging by Alkaweb, but its designed to work from the backend primarily so might not be appropriate.

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 10 months ago]

This one is already front end enabled and I would have thought the dev’s would maybe like to make this feature a part of their plugin?

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 10 months ago]

I’ve not seen a plugin that will do that, the closest I have seen is Crowdmentions which allows you to send a public message to @friends, but that does not send an email, only an onsite notification.

Maybe you could ask one of the Mass Messaging plugin developers to add this as a feature?

It looks like something you have put in the footer widget area, I’d go to Dashboard>>Appearance>>Widgets to check this.

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 10 months ago]

Did you try deactivating al other plugins and switching to the 2016 theme to see if that fixes it?

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

Have you tried deactivating all plugins and switching to the 2016 theme, does that stop that problem?

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

Have you tried deactivating all plugins apart from BuddyPress and using the 2016 theme? Does it work then?

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

BP Registration Options will do that for you.

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

Yes it’s supposed to be automatic, have you gone to Dashboard>>Settings>>BuddyPress>>Pages an set the BuddyPress components to display on your pages?

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

BuddyPress does work with 2016, there must be something else stopping it from working. Have you tried deactivating any other plugins?

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

How about this:

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

You could ask the developer to fix it, but yes until it’s fixed that it’s best not to use it.

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

This is probably down to a plugin conflict, try deactivating all other plugins to see if the error goes away.

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

You need to find some tutorials on adding plugins to wordpress.

Can you get to the Dashboard in your installation? It should have the URL of http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/

From the Dashboard are you able to get to Plugins? If so then click on Add New and BuddyPress will be displayed (if not enter BuddyPress into the search, once you see BuddyPress then you can click on Install and then Activate.

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

If you theme’s default page has a sidebar then it’s possible to control which widgets are shown on different pages including the BuddyPress Pages by using Display Widgets SEO Plus.

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

You should raise this on the BuddyDev forum over on their site.

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

It’s likely to be a plugin conflict

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

I’d install BP First but there’s no difference really

[@venutius Moderator 9 years, 11 months ago]

The trouble with the pay for themes is that you need to pay for them to try them out fully so it’s difficult to recommend them as I’ve not played with most of them.

Here’s a few links, Kleo from BuddyBoss works well, there also Community Buider from BuddyDev that just been released:

For some of my sites I use non BuddyPress themes because they give me the layout options that are required for the site.

What I would do is try some themes, check out what the BuddyPress pages look like. Most themes allow you to set a static front page, which you can edit freely with a page builder, allowing you to add widgets into the main content areas which a lot of social sites use to create a composite picture of the sites various activity streams.

Unfortunately it’s the pay for plugins where you actually get themes designed for social networks from the off, some of these have nice BuddyPress specific page layouts, with the free themes you will get the default page layout for the BP pages.
