Hi,
Here the codex
bp_activity_add()
You can use bp_activity_add and change type param.
Hi,
Click ‘Screen Options’ on the menu page ( at the top right of the page ) and check Buddypress.
I use the tubepress plugin for video… You can show many thumbnails on your site and play them in a light-box popup… or in their original YouTube page – which solves your user comment issue without having to make new templates
http://tubepress.com/demo/
the Activity Plus plugin allows users to post videos with their comments, just like Facebook, but for BuddyPress….
Good Morning,
Logged Out users see pages refreshed to a blank page (bearing the same URL) a few seconds after the page that is supposed to load loads, right after they click a buddypress related link on my site. (From Buddypress Register page links to Member page links). However, everything is Ok when a user is logged in.
Please what is the problem?
Could somebody be so kind to help me out.
Thank You.
@modemlooper : A BuddyPress member cannot delete their account. But a WordPress administrator can delete a user from the dashboard.. If you have been following the recent EU moves on the Internet, such as forcing sites to post “We use cookies on this site” dumb messages, it will probably soon be necessary for members to be able to cancel their own accounts, for the sake of privacy…
I Finally got it. I deactivated all my plugins except BuddyPress and I switched to a safe theme (TwentyTwelve)…. I was then able to update to BuddyPress 1.9.2 with no problem.. Except that some plugins lost their settings and had to be re-configured….. So why hasn’t anyone come up with a simple WP plugin that automatically deactivates all plugins for updates and then reactivates them again?.. hmmm…. sometimes the obvious solution is overlooked.
@gfam105,
If you are looking for an UI that allows only video commenting, then I am afraid you will have to code a plugin that does just that.
But given the plethora of bp plugins that support video, you might just give these plugins a try:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/
Any of these plugins allow your users to upload videos in comments.
Hope this helps 🙂
Hi all,
I tried to install buddypress moments ago on my WPMU site and when adding the new pluging (buddypress), the installation didn’t not fully complete. I watched it upload to 100%, but it appeared to fully activate and then I was presented with a notice saying that the plugin was only partially installed / didn’t fully complete or something along those lines. I was not presented with any other options so I tried moving forward how I could and then having to back out.
Upon getting back to my admin area, I viewed my main sites homepage and it only half loads, really the slider only. None of my posts are showing etc, but when I go directly to a posts link, they are still there. From what I can tell, my sub-directly sites are operating normally and there homepages do not have any issues from what I can tell after a brief scan.
I am looking to remedy this issue and I am anxious to know exactly how to as I am a bit up a tree with my head cut off at the present. My site’s memory limit was 96mb and php 5.3.5 and MySQL 5.1.54 with WP 3.8.1
My first priorities are sorting out my home page and getting it back to working, followed by getting my admin bar back when I am view pages/posts on my site, followed by getting buddypress working properly, if at all.
Any insight and guidance would be terrific. Thank you in advance.

Hi @BuddyBoss,
Try and play with this plugin if you really want to import user data to custom CRM applications (it’s a little old and was developed for another WP plugin):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-crm-buddypress-xprofile/
Feel free to download that plugin, study its source, implement whatever customisations you want as per Woopra and test to see if it solves your issue.
P.S. If you end up modifying that plugin to accommodate other important user data fields, don’t forget to rename it to something else and block off ALL its internal call for updates (whenever the parent plugin is pushed for updates, otherwise ALL your changes will disappear should you mistakingly push through with the update).
So i resolved the error by rolling back to buddypress 1.9.1. 1.9.2 doesn’t work for me!
Hi – I have buddypress running nicely on the new twenty fourteen theme, but the default search doesn’t include buddypress. Does anyone have a solution for this or suggestions about how I should handle search? Thanks! Mark
Hi There,
I installed Buddypress v1.9.2 earlier this afternoon and I seem to be missing the default theme. According to info I have read online when you install the Buddypress plugin the default theme should automatically show in your available themes (via appearance on wordpress). I downloaded the Buddypress plugin and installed it direct from wordpress plugins with no problems or errors but when I go into appearance->themes there is no default buddypress theme there for me to select.
I am using buddypress v1.9.2 and wordpress v3.8.1. I have now installed MesoColumn theme through the theme installer option but I would like to take a look at the default theme that comes with buddypress to see which one I prefer.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
On your site? I haven’t got one
On here (BuddyPress) I’m @henrywright
I searched for an answer but only found older threads pointing me to a plugin that hasn’t been updated since early last year.
Is there a reason BuddyPress has frontend login and registration but will take users to the dashboard once they activate their emails?
Is there a way to remove dashboard access and/or redirect users to their profile after account activation?
hello shaunokeefe, were you able to modify the buddypress email notification settings for the group email? The plugin “welcome pack” only has options to modify for the “personal messages” though I didnt get it to work.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick answer!
Yes, both enviroments are multisite (sorry, forget to mention that).
The obvious solution is to try another plugin but I am very happy with the results of spam destroyer after a year of use.
I should mention that I’m running another (multisite) website with buddypress 1.5.5 & Spam destroyer 1.3.2 and everything is working fine.
Likely in your s2member setup, you are integrating some BuddyPress functionality and since BP is deactivated the s2member plugin is throwing up an error. So now you are locked out of your admin.
There is a simple solution if you have access to FTP.
Just rename your ‘wp-content/plugins’ folder to ‘wp-content/_plugins’. Note the underscore.
This will instantly deactivated all plugins, as WordPress will not be able to load the plugins directory. Then you should be able to log in again. If you rename _plugins back to plugins, then your plugins will load again. So maybe rename s2member so it deactivates, then reactivate BuddyPress and then s2member after.
Hi.
Thumb avatars looks to small and ugly. I would like to use only full version of avatar files everywhere in buddypress. How to change use of thumb avatar files to full?

I wrote my own theme and am always trying to do things the right way but initially things were not working correctly with bbPress or BuddyPress. I now realise was my theme using the_excerpt rather than the_content on the special pages.
I’d read the topics in the buddypress codex on theme support but these mainly addressed the issue of altering pages using the template selection rather then explaining what a theme author needs to do to make their theme work properly with bbPress or BuddyPress. Just explaining how it injects its content into pages (by hooking the_content) is not immediately obvious to the newcomer.
In my theme I had been using is_singular() to know when to show content rather then expert and use parameterised preferences for each post type for when is_singluar() was false.
Simply changing this test to (is_singular() || is_page()) suddenly turned my theme from incompatible to reasonably compatible. The “/forums” slug still did not work properly but after searching around I discovered the is_bbPress() function and expanded the test to:
(is_singular() || is_page() || (function_exists(‘is_bbPress’) && is_bbPress()))
There may be other tricks and gotchas I haven’t found yet, but as I say it would be really nice to have a topic directed specifically at theme authors to make sure they know what needs to be in place to make things work.
Our buddypress plugin main plugin was deactivated by accident and now we can no longer access any content on the website or login ad admin to reactivate it.
I am not sure what to do. We had a backup of the entire wordpress installation prior to that mistake and it was restored in full. This is from the error log:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_register_page() in /home1/tgscca1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/classes/custom-reg-fields-4bp.inc.php on line 50
Looks like your theme css is overriding BuddyPress.
hi @aniclip
it’s not a bug, you just try to translate something that doesn’t exist in the original file !
The exact string is Notify group members of these changes via email
If you’re using BP 1.9 the string to translate looks like this in the po file:
5912 #: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/single/admin.php:26
5913 #: bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/admin.php:26
5914 msgid “Notify group members of these changes via email”
5915 msgstr “Signaler par mail les changements aux membres du groupe”
If you need the fr_FR translations, you can find them here:
https://i18n.trac.buddypress.org/browser/fr_FR/tags
And in the future, also here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev/fr/default
And of course, any information about translating BP in french is on the french BuddyPress site: http://bp-fr.net
