@h2waldmann thanks, but I don’t see how this plugin integrates with Buddypress. Am I missing something obvious?
I am new to BuddyPress as well. From what I have tested, you can only add new members to group from backend Dashboard “Groups” menu. By default, this “Groups” menu is only accessible by site admin.
However, you can setup group admin and moderator. Both roles can invite friends to the group. This requires the friends feature enabled. Group admin\moderator have to add other users to their friend list. Then they can invite these friends of their own to the group.
I hope this help!
I also try to give group admin the ability to add new member directly (instead through dashboard “Groups” menu or invitation), but no luck so far. If anyone knows there is a plugin can do so, please let me know.
Are these 4 items possible using BuddyPress? If so, are there additional plugins that I should install? I’ve made a good start but am running into walls here. Thanks for your help.
- Search posts by a combination of tags and location. Sort of like the following: https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/publishing?ref=category, but substituting user-defined tags (multiple) for having to choose a single pre-defined category.
- Ability to “follow” an individual. This would give the user an easy way to see updates from people she is following (at least on their personal page, possibly in email updates).
- Ability for people to contact one another when both are interested. Not sure what plug-ins are available, but either the LinkedIn “connect request” model or (maybe even better) the Twitter “mutual follow” model for allowing private messages could work.
- Ability to “follow” a group defined by a search (tags + location).

Hi, I am a little frustrated, it does not seem that there are any statistics about my users, such as which boxes they checked. So for example, I set up a field for which team they are in, and they have checked different ones but I don’t know how many have checked each one.
I have seen this:
http://codecanyon.net/item/buddypress-profiles-statistics/2215514
but it dosn’t look great and also I er… disagree… with the licensing 😉
I wonder where BP is at with this stuff; as a Community Manager, info of this kind is really important, vital to be honest. Is this going to be a feature? Is there a way to do it now?
Kind regards

Dear Support Team
I am new in Buddy Press. Need an urgent help for a few items.
1) After the installation, I have setup the Buddy Press to add the Group in Top Menu. In my Appearance > Top Menu, I added menu selection as below:
a) Home
b) Register
i) Log In
ii) Log Out
c) Directory
d) Shop
i) Checkout
ii) Cart
e) Members Forum (Initial name :Group)
i) My Account
ii) Activity
– Settings
– Profile
– Notification
– Activate
May I know how can I make my Forum main screen look exactly like “http://buddypress.org/support/” where I can see “Forum” and “Topics” in the front page?
2) I have created a Forum “Admin Announcement” http://www.adhdexplorer.com/groups-2/admin-announcement/
In this forum, I want to stop other people from posting their comment. Is there any functions to stop people posting the comment? This section is suppose to be for my posting only.
Please Help. Thank You
I found this code from http://www.tommywhite.com/resources/buddypress/change-buddypress-groups-starting-tab after some Google searching- does anyone know if this is a good way of doing this in the latest version of BuddyPress please?
/* Redirect for group home tab */
function redirect_group_home() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
$path = apply_filters( 'bp_uri', $path );
if (bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['slug'] ) === false ) {
if ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member || $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'public') {
bp_core_redirect( $path . 'forum/' );
}
}
}
function move_group_activity_tab() {
global $bp;
if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) {
unset($bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']);
}
}
//The following line redirects to a group forum page rather than a group activity page
add_action('bp_init', 'redirect_group_home' );
//The following line removes the group activity tab entirely
//add_action('bp_init', 'move_group_activity_tab');

I updated and it was pretty painless (although I think my buddypress-docs is not working now because of it, I might be wrong)
The last one’s a winner. Works like a charm.
“Nav Menu Roles” plug-in is compatible up to 3.8.1.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/
It’s super easy to install, and requires no configuration. Just go into
Dashboard -> Appearance -> Menus
once you’ve activated it, and it’s options automatically show up when you’re configuring menu items, even if they are not BuddyPress components. Great if you’re linking to a specific doc.
Hopefully this will help someone else out. Drove me mad.
Susan.
admin-ajax.php is a core WordPress file.
I’ve searched for the phrase “new-review-button” in the BuddyPress code, and it doesn’t exist in BuddyPress. Perhaps it’s introduced by some other plugin on your site, but only when BuddyPress is active? I don’t know.
What other plugins and themes are you using?
I just recently decided to use Gravity Forms for the registration part of this buddypress site. Upon installing Gravity it is apparent that there is a conflict that is causing a JavaScript error that prevents the fields from being added to a form.
I enlisted the help of Gravity Forms support, and (after testing to see which plugin was causing the conflict – buddypress) this is the response I got:
The following is being injected before the opening doctype tag and in the admin-ajax.php response which is causing the JavaScript error that’s preventing the fields being added to the form.
<div class="new-review-button">
</div>
You’ll need to inform the developer of the problematic plugin so they can investigate further.
Can anyone inform me where the admin-ajax.php is located or possible how to fix this?
Thanks!
I also installed buddypress template pack.
When I go to gropus – visit the groupname – members, I can see only one member listed and can’t see “invitation” link.
if I go to groups – visit groupname – admin – members, I can see “this group has no members” and there is no “invitation” link.

Hi, I see that there is a function BP_Group_Member_Query::set_orderby for setting group member sort criteria, and I see that there are already [plans to implement this for BP](https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1110), but in the meantime I’d like to allow a couple of options in my theme for sorting group members. Is there an easy way to go about that? I can’t seem to find the appropriate hooks/calls/functions.
This should be fixed in 2.0-beta-1:
BuddyPress 2.0 Beta 1 is now available
If you have a local environment for testing, please help us test.
Hello
I have installed a buddypress forum plugin to my wordpress site, I want to set up a private/hiden user group for some members using buddypress group. After install buddypress, I am able to create a private group without any problems, but I couldn’t find a way to add members to this group. I have users listed on my main WordPress site. The registration for new users is desabled, because I want have only the admin to add/create new users, however, as the admin, I can’t find anywhere to add the users to the BP group as members.
Please help.

The group member count issue is because BuddyPress 2.0 made some changes to the group component to better optimize how data is fetched.
This affected the BP Group Hierarchy plugin, which caused your group member count issue.
You can either downgrade BuddyPress to v1.9.2, which John stated above or you can keep using the beta and use the developmental version of BP Group Hierarchy that fixes this issue:
https://github.com/ddean4040/BP-Group-Hierarchy
A .ZIP link can be found here:
https://github.com/ddean4040/BP-Group-Hierarchy/archive/master.zip
Note that this is in development. If there are any further bugs with the groups component, please let the author of the plugin know.
There was a bug in the WordPress.org repository that caused some installations to see BuddyPress 2.0 as the currently available version. If you need to switch back to 1.9.2, download the zip file, and upload it to your plugins directory.
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.9.2.zip
Let us know if you need any other help, and sorry for the problem.
Wordpress said “100% compatible according to author” prior to installing the update. I’d really rather not repeat myself or be asked dumb questions. Any valuable, productive advice is welcome. I need these bugs fixed or would be happy with instructions on how to install the prior working version of Buddypress and get out of Beta mode. I would not have installed if the author had not said 100% compatible. Need help from others willing to help and not waste time criticizing. Thanks.
I just installed the Buddypress update. It said 100% compatible according to author.
BP 2.0 is in beta. Where did it say 100% compatible? You shouldn’t use 2.0 beta in a production environment. There is a fair way to go yet before the core devs release BP 2.0 proper.
I used it on a site with BP 1.9 and it worked OK. What doesn’t work for you? Have you tried raising a support request on the plugin’s forum? https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-like
