Hi,
I am sure someone has asked this before but I can’t seem to find much.
I did find BuddyBoss’ plugin “BuddyPress User Blog” which comes real close.
I would like for BuddyPress members to be able to click a link and then create their own member blog.
The blog would not be created unless they selected to have and name their blog.
Members would make the blog posts and edit from profile type screens like the BuddyBoss plugin. I think the issue I have is letting members select to have a blog and naming their blog. Letting members select their blog url/folder name would be super nice too.
Appreciate the help.
BuddyPress 2.9.4
WordPress 4.9.5
I’m having two issues with BuddyPress at the moment.
1) The members list is empty.
-When you click on the members menu it shows the drop down menu to select from Last Active, Newest, and Alphabetically.
– Then there’s the button with the number of members (16 – the four I’ve been testing have all logged in multiple times)
– But the messages says “! Sorry, no members were found.
2) when sending a friend request to a member in a group the request is sent, but when clicked on by the intended member the invitation disappears and you can’t see it or acknowledge it. It still shows up as next to the Friends menu item as 1 request but when you click on Friends and request it’s empty and says “You have no pending friendship requests.”
I’ve deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress. I’ve tried changing the BuddyBoss theme, but still have the same issue.
Any idea where I can start?
Again, the 4 members, and admin, have all logged in multiple times.
The first file;
<?php

Hi,any opinion about the marketplace combo Buddypress+buddyboss social marketplace?
Hi,
We need to have people who either register through a form or purchase a product put into Memberium and BP Social Learner forum – I have everything working with one exception – we can not automatically assign the different member types to the different people who come into the system. We have tied in Memberium, the types to the groups, autologin and autoenroll set, etc. etc.
So members should be the “member” member type and coaches should be the “coaches” member type. How do we do this? Been all around the world and back with BuddyBoss people and after a week said to come to the forum so here I am… Praying for quick help!
You’d need to ask BuddyBoss
I am missing theme and style sheet for buddyboss. My child theme is available, how do I download
@studial you can add a limit on group creation, like who can create a group. How many groups a member can join, or how many members can be part of a group. It can also be auto join to groups based on their member type during registration.
You can check for these plugins

On How can i make this Please!
1.Create Buddypress Community
*Users can create and update profiles, including the use of profile photos. Site administrators can easily set up the parameters of the user profiles.
*Users can befriend one another. The site owner can decide what special abilities friends have with regard to one another.
*Users can send private messages. BuddyBoss comes with a robust private messaging system, similar to that found on Facebook. Users can choose whether or not to receive an email notification when someone sends them a message.
*Users can form and join groups. Groups can be used for a wide range of functions within the website. Administrators can choose to let their users create and join groups of common interest.
*Users can follow activity streams. BuddyPress activity streams provide a quick digest of the recent activity going on within a site or with regard to a particular user.
*Users can create blogs. Capitalizing on the full functionality of WordPress, the most popular blogging platform in the world, BuddyPress gives administrators and users a full-featured online publishing platform.
*Users can participate in forum discussions. BuddyPress is fully integrated with bbPress, a slick forum system.
2. Active Login portal with Facebook or Google login credentials.
3. Active User generated material through BuddyForms or other methods.
Please advice thank you!
Hello,
I have tried for a month to redirect my buddypress users to my custom activation page upon activation. I do not want them to be sent to the homepage upon activation / first login.
Currently, a user signs up, the “Welcome” email is sent with the activation link, they click the link, are logged into their new account and end up on the homepage.
Is there a way to send them on first login upon activation to my page titled “Activate & Set Up” ??
I have set EVERY setting in wp-admin which asks for “activation page” to my custom “Activate & Set Up” page. I use OneSocial Theme by BuddyBoss which integrates Woocommerce + Buddypress.
I have tried the plugin BP Login Redirect and it only redirects to Profile page.
Again, all wordpress, woocommerce, buddypress settings for activation page point to “Activate & Set Up”
Thank you!!
Using Buddyboss with Boss theme. My goal is to create a sale page for my course. I like the /full-width/ template, but how can I remove the top menu options so I have a clean landing page with image at the top and content below with a “buy now” button integrated a couple place. I don’t want the text to go as wide as whatever the screen is, but be centered a certain width.
Any tips?

I am trying to hide all admin accounts from all BuddyPress touch points using this code found on the BuddyDev website:
add_filter( ‘bp_after_has_members_parse_args’, ‘buddydev_exclude_users_by_role’ );
function buddydev_exclude_users_by_role( $args ) {
//do not exclude in admin
if( is_admin() && ! defined( ‘DOING_AJAX’ ) ) {
return $args;
}
$excluded = isset( $args[‘exclude’] )? $args[‘exclude’] : array();
if( !is_array( $excluded ) ) {
$excluded = explode(‘,’, $excluded );
}
$role = ‘administrator’;//change to the role to be excluded
$user_ids = get_users( array( ‘role’ => $role ,’fields’=>’ID’) );
$excluded = array_merge( $excluded, $user_ids );
$args[‘exclude’] = $excluded;
return $args;
}
This code seemed to have worked for a lot of people but isn’t currently working for me. I tried putting it into my child theme’s functions.php and also tried making a bp-custom.php file in my wp-content/plugins directory and that didn’t work either. I even refreshed cache and cookies after each of these attempts. Still nothing.
I’m not advanced when it comes to this stuff. I know that I must be doing something wrong. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Since you’re using BuddyBoss theme (I think) I’d probably ask them first, because the template that loads the message loop is provided by the theme.
That’s a weird problem, though!
Hello again.
Thank you for the quick reply. My site is https://www.accessibletravelforum.com/activity/
I use BuddyBoss for my theme. I changed to the Twenty Fifteen theme and it was fine there, so it seems to be a BuddyBoss issue.
I played around a bit more and seem to found the possible bug:
The filter selector “activity-filter-by”. It defaults to “Everything” but seems to be a bit off.
Duplication:
- Load activity stream normally and, as discussed before, there are duplicate updates.
- Change the filter from the default of “Everything” to something else ie “Posts” (the activity stream updates as expected)
- Change the filter back to “Everything” and it shows everything again BUT now all comments etc are nested and there are no duplicated comments.
So, it appears that the original “Everything” filter is not working correctly.
Again, it didn’t happen for the normal Twenty Fifteen template, so this seems to be a BuddyBoss bug.
I have reached out to BuddyBoss support for help. But, in the mean time, can anyone suggest a way to fix this?
Thanks again!
I am using Buddypress and the BuddyBoss theme. I have 2 user types contributors and subscribers I made using BP Member Types and user profile fields. Everything is working except.
When a contributor is logged in and goes to a tab say members/username/messages the subnav tabs show perfectly little grey boxes next to each other.
But…
when a subscriber goes to a tab say members/username/messages the css for the subnav tabs does not show as if it’s not pulling the css. I check and the file that controls this css section is buddyboss/css/buddypress-main.min.css and I checked this file is being used in the source code of this page. So for some reason the subscriber account is not pulling this style sheet even though it’s shown as included in the source. I tried to hard code the entire css into my page and it still didn’t show.
the other thing I noticed was the code for the nav section was setup like this for contributor
<div id=”buddypress”>
<div id=”item-header” role=”complementary”>
<div id=”item-nav”>
<div id=”item-body”>
but the subscriber one only shows like this
<div id=”buddypress”>
<div id=”item-nav”>
<div id=”item-body”>
why would the section <div id=”item-header” role=”complementary”> not be showing for subscribers? Could this be my problem
Anyone have any ideas?
it’s from here, I thought it might be helpful enough to get me started 😐 I’ve copied the files over into the child theme

Hi All,
I’ve created a hidden group, with a hidden forum.
When I ‘search forums’ it pulls up replies from the hidden group.
How do I make it so only the members of the hidden group can search for replies in the hidden group?
I don’t want non-members to be able to see topics and replies in a hidden group when searching.

Hi @bdwright
Congratulations! for your website. When it comes to reporting a post there is a nifty plugin called WP Report Post. I think It should solve your problem of post reporting. When it comes to moving back end to front end it is quite complex. But a premium plugin from Buddyboss Buddypress user blog is what you want. Kindly check the demo before purchasing
Hi eliasgetguineapig
I think you are using theme from Buddyboss. It is a premium product and customization will be supported in their forum. Coming to your question, you can add and remove menu items from Appearance > Menus in the WordPress dashboard.
Hi all,
I have a plugin tweek question for the Buddypress Group Email Subscription plugin (which doesn’t look right in Buddyboss theme).
It creates a div in the group with the user’s email status and a dropdown menu to change it group-subscription-div.
However, I’d like to remove the group-subscription-div which produces the “Your email status is X (change)” entirely from the site. I’ve removed the divs in the php file but it still creates white space and if I start playing around more it just breaks the plugin and the page.
I appreciate that this is a big ask but is there any way to remove that part of the plugin entirely?
Many thanks in advance,
Chris.
Hi
I am not sure if this is Buddypress issue or Buddypress combined with Buddyboss etc. I have got in touch with them also.
Basically I have a chat bot plugin called convertfox, and it works on my other domains which havent got buddyboss but not on my subdomain which does.
When I go through the process of deactivating all plugins and reactivating one by one, Buddypress is the only one that stops the chat box script from firing. It is present in the source code but does not exectute.
Can you help at all?
domain where it works is: howtostreetdance.com
Issue is located at members.howtostreetdance.com
Wordpress version: 4.9.1

Hello,
We are currently using Buddypress with BuddyBoss theme. We have been attempting to change “Friends” to “Contacts” and have read through 8 years of these support forums trying to find an answer to our issue.
We used Loco translate to change all available strings that mention friends to contacts and for the most part this worked well. Unfortunately there are instances on Site Wide Activity, All Members and in some drop down filter menus/widgets where “Friends” still appears. We’ve gone through Buddypress, Buddyboss theme and all extension plugins we have installed for buddypress using the Loco plugin. We’ve manually changed every single instance, gone through the Buddypress developer resources and all codex articles posted in previous topics and have tried Poedit but this has not changed the above instances.
BuddyPress, WordPress and BuddyBoss are all up to date. Link: http://www.squarepeg.online
Any ideas would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you!
100% Agree. The only 2 WP plugins (BBforums and BP) that could harness Web2.0 user communities and compete with large social platforms continues to collect dust. I pitch this plugin as a solution for online communities to companies, and 9 our of 10 times I uninstall it the same day regretting I ever brought it up.
Premium themes like BuddyBoss don’t help, it’s still a patchwork of 3rd party plugins to even get close to a working community forum, yet falls soo short, even coding it out yourself is a nightmare, just like the functionality of this text entry box, always loose ends. This technology could be instrumental in pulling down the large social conglomerates that control the web. Yet Automattic could care less. I feel for the contributors to BP, waste of time for everyone without leadership buy-in.
Last time I try to install this plugin. Easier to lead users to a Slack Channel. Peace.
