I don’t see the users name twice in the head. Maybe you need to press ctrl+F5 to refresh. This really isn’t a BuddyPress issue, as I only see bbPress is installed.

@kakilo

I’m using these plugins combined: bbPress, BuddyPress and BuddyPress Media (rtMedia).

I wish that the maximum image files uploaded in ‘album’ (bp-album, I guess) …

I think it’s not from rtMedia

It’s getting a bit confusing. You need to figure out which plugin is creating the album that you want to modify and then you need to ask that plugin’s author for support. BuddyPress does not provide any media capabilities by default, though that has been requested.

P.S. rtMedia (previously known as BuddyPress Media) does create a Media tab. And it creates various albums under that tab.

Actually you can use BP 1.8.1 with bbPress 2.4 to get what you want.

Since BuddyPress 1.6, bbPress is no more attached to BP groups and can be installed as a standalone full, complete, forum
3 types of install are possible: goup-forums only, single forum only or both.

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

bbPress

I’m having the same problem on a fresh install today onto WP 3.6.1.
bbPress 2.4 has been running successfully for a long while.

http://xyz/blog/members/ This is the url that is returned whenever you click > or a page number under the search box. It is blank.

Clicking the Members menu tab gives you the 1st page of Users with Add Friend buttons to the right. I chose one and it now says in that spot, Cancel Friendship Request button. The person never received a Friend request, but they are now listed in the Member count display.

I cursored over other pages we should be able to search and got the proper URL that it should go to: http://xyz/blog/members/?upage=2 (When I use the exact URL manually, they work correctly it appears.)

But direct clicking it only goes back the http://xyz/blog/members/ and displays blank below the Order by: box.

Pressing on All Members (with count to the right) returns a completely blank page below that All Members link.

Can’t use BuddyPress without this on a mature site.

Not sure exactly what issue you are facing with bbpress.

@cogden-1
Try this plugin I made. This only makes BuddyPress and bbPress private.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/private-bp-pages/
Also make sure you read the FAQ first:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/private-bp-pages/faq/
Make sure you clear the previous code out of bp-custom.php that you posted above!

this is actually a problem with the latest version of bbpress it going to be fixed in the next update. you should be able to downgrade to 2.3.2 to temporarily fix the problem until 2.4.1 comes out.

Hi

You can add the bbpress shortcodes to a page to display your forums on it – https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

I have this same issue, any help?

@elangley: just had a look at the status of this issue: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2425
It seems it has been closed there, as it was submitted on the bbPress, rather than Buddypess Trac.

I submitted this very issue now to the Buddypress Trac: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5187 (rather than ask you to do this, I just copied your original submission)

I can now confirm that there are problems between the integration of bbPress 2.4 and buddypress 1.81.
It turns out that there’s a bug in bbPress 2.4 that does not allow the admin to make a Forum ‘private’ or ‘hidden’. At the moment, the only workaround is to use the bulk edit facility to apply the ‘private’ setting to a forum (but, not, sadly the ‘hidden’ attribute as of yet).
In other words, if you go into the forum setting for the individual forum on the back-end and change the attribute there, it won’t stick. The forum comes back again as ‘Public’.
I used the build editor to change my forum to ‘Private’ and that stopped the replies to topic posts from being broadcast to everyone in the buddypress sitewide activity page. Now, I’m waiting for the ability to make the forums ‘hidden’ for extra security. In the meantime, I’ve been using s2member to lock down the content of the bbPress Group forum. This ONLY works for Group forums, because their topics have a forum-specific URI structure (so URI-restrictions can be used; e.g. ‘/group/<name of group>/forum/’)… whereas non-Group forums just have the ‘/topic/’ URI which is sitewide and cannot be restricted by a particular forum name. This is lamentable, as bbPress is very hard to lock-down otherwise.
It’s taken me many hours to track down all of these niggly problems, which is frustrating, since bbPress and buddypress are meant to be integrated now. So, it seems as if the integration is mucky.
Given all the user confusion regarding forum attributes in bbPress and forum security in buddypress, I would really love to see the development teams come up with a simple, unified interface for managing memberships and access restrictions. Otherwise, we’ll all end up chasing settings in different places, without really understanding their interplay.

I tried running the Tools > Forums but it only solved the problem of new topic posts, but not replies to those posts. Here’s my rundown of the situation:
I think the problem has to do with buddypress – bbPress integration.
The bbPress Group Forums appear to be set to ‘Open’ by default, even if they are hidden within buddypress. In fact, I cannot alter this. I tried changing my secret forum to ‘hidden’ within bbPress (2.4) and it won’t save the change – it always comes back as ‘open’.
Therefore, it’s up to buddypress to manage the privacy of the forum. It seems to be doing this with new topic posts (I can confirm that hide_sitewide in the activity stream table is “1” for new posts). The problem is that if someone replies to that post, the hide_sitewide for that reply is set to “0”, even though it’s inside of a ‘hidden’ group forum. To me, this is a serious security breach, as it exposes the forum name, the original topic name, and the contents of the reply in EVERYONE’s Activity stream, whether they are logged in or not, a member of the hidden forum or not.

Actually, this problem is not resolved and appears to be pretty bad. Here’s my rundown:
