I had the same problem and discovered that the Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ buddypress plugins were conflicting with the email send. When I removed those fields from the register page the emails started to come through again.
I am developing an android client for a buddypress forum and I am using the buddypress xmlrpc receiver to communicate. The xmlrpc plugin is restricted, it lacks ability to post. I am manually editing the xmlrpc plugin to satisfy all that I need it for but I am having difficulty accessing functions inside bp-forums-functions.php.
To be specific, accessing bp_forums_get_topic_id_from_slug, bp_forums_new_topic and all other functions in bp-forums-functions.php gives a “Call to undefined function” error. Whereas accessing bp_core_get_userid and other functions inside bp-core-functions.php works.
I am editing the bp-xmlrpc.php file directly and adding the necessary functions. e.g. I’ve added the following to get user id from username and it works.
function bp_xmlrpc_check_user_id( $args ) {
// Parse the arguments, assuming they're in the correct order
$username = $this->escape( $args[0] );
$password = $this->escape( $args[1] );
if ( !$this->login( $username, $password ) )
return $this->error;
$data = $args[2];
$userid = bp_core_get_userid($data['username']);
return array(
'confirmation' => true,
'user_id' => $userid
);
}
I am using BuddyPress on a Jobs website for the enhanced profile features. I do not need a forum or social media type community. I would like potential employers to be able to search registered people for potential job matches. I would also like Job Seekers to be able to create a Resume like profile. I created new profile fields and broke them into groups like Work Experience, Education, etc. When someone registers they fill out name, address, phone, and email. Then click Register (works great). They get an activation email sent to them (great) but when they log in they are sent to the WordPress dashboard (not great – very confusing). I need them to be sent to the page where they can complete the resume portion of the registration fields I created.
I have the testing site here: http://plc.bradstreets.net
Also the Avatar image in not letting them upload an image.
…note: buddypress and bbpress are activated individually on each child blog, and are not network activated.
I have set “define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ); ” in wp-config.php
Thanks @mercime. Am I right in thinking then, that out of the box, the normal functionality is to have buddypress extended-profile-fields, groups, and member-lists shared across the network?
I.e. if an admin deletes a group or profile-field from a child-blog, it effects the entire network?
And, there’s nothing I can do to prevent this without a third party plugin or my own hacks?
Hi guys
I have the site front page set to a static page (the Buddypress Activity page).
Now search isn’t working – if I submit from the search form, I get the front page (with search query appended i.e. http://www.site.com/?s=query&search=Search), not the search results page.
If I set the front page to show my latests posts (WP default), it works fine – just not when I change it to a static page.
Any ideas? Do I have to create a separate search results page? My theme (Razor) includes a custom search results layout that I’d want to hook up to this page. My coding skills are minimal so a dummy-proof solution would be great – otherwise I guess I’ll just dive in.
@drgiz upcoming BP 1.9 now includes a BP log in widget. If you’re just starting to develop a new site, check it out at buddypress.1.9-beta1.zip.
@mercime,
Thank you for the support questions.
I use the newest versions of both (WP 3.7.1 and BP 1.8.1)
I am hosted at Hostgator, domain through GoDaddy.
I have checked, if I deactivate BuddyPress all email work fine.
@soccercoach12345 WP/BP versions? Where are you hosted? Have you checked if activation emails are sent and received if you deactivated BuddyPress?
@macpresss I agree in the sense that any additional role for the Group Moderator should be configurable by Site/Group Admins.You can submit a ticket to enhance Mod role at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
Hi Guys,
I am running a new local install to test buddy press as I am working through Tammie Listers New Book Buddypress Development. She noted the use of of bp-default-data plugin for testing. Does that still hold true with the most recent version or suggest some other sample data for testing for Buddypress.
I figured you were referring to the Activity table 🙂
Basically, we thought the way we do it now was a good solution several years ago. We were particularly concerned with how large the Activities DB table(s) might get, as we expect them (and probably still do) to be the tables with the largest amount of stored data as every other component adds stuff to the activity stream. If I remember correctly, the idea was that storing the entire string would be the quickest approach — and with the state of BuddyPress’ code base all those years ago, it was probably the right decision.
Several years later, the shortcomings are now fairly obvious — can’t filter it easily, if you change how the string is constructed – only new items have that new format, the old items keep their old format, can’t translate it very easily.
This is likely to be changed in a near-future release to a more dynamically constructed string of text, and the ticket @modemlooper linked to is a good place to keep an eye out if you’d like to help us build it.
Hi. Which theme are you using, what versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using, and where did you download the translation file from? Thanks.
Hi ,
I had set up a buddypress in a site . After logged in as admin ,I looked in to members page and all the members are listed in the page but when I click any user I can’t find the profile details of the user . There should be a link ‘view’ for displaying the user’s details .
when I checked with the direct url ‘example.com/members/username/profile’ in a tab ‘view’ which shows the user detail . But there is no link in the user profile page for this profile detail page .
What I missed in the code ? Can anyone help ?
Hi @finchkelsey
Have you tried posting your requirements in the BP Jobs Forum? If you’re looking for a BP developer available for hire then that is a good place to start

When I go to register, it completes and says to go to my email to activate, I get the email, click on the link and it takes me back to the registration page to register. How can this be fixed? Thanks in advance for all the help.
Hello Hugo,
1) you are right, it is fine with working theme.
2) what is the meaning of this warning message? is there a Buddypress patch for this?
happy thanksgiving!
You can copy the activity loop into your homepage template
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : ?>
<?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>
<?php locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
See https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/ for more information on the activity loop.
@macpresss Thanks for the Codex contribution, I have however moved it for the moment to the user submitted guides under getting started as the components section is really descriptions of the standard default BP settings.
In reality we do have a page in progress here https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/filters-reference/ which is designed to list filters and defines in one place due to the large number of these.
I’m using:
- WPMS 3.7.14
- bbPress 2.5
- BuddyPress 1.8.1
I’d like each site on the network to have its own users, groups, forums etc.
At present, if I create a user on one site, that user appears in all other sites. This is also true for groups. This is not what I want.
Could anybody tell me how to achieve what I want, and also, point me to some documentation so that I can get a clear understanding of how users are managed within WPMS, bbPress and BuddyPress.
Many thanks
Glyn
Yeah I was afraid of that too..
I think I’ve seen some Filter a few days ago to remove a menu-tab. This way you can remove lets say the activity link from popping up on the navigation menu’s.
Try Google at this: BuddyPress + remove + item + PHP_code_that_prints_the_menu()
Hahaha.. I was looking for the same thing yesterday so I made a Codex-page for this question.
https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/member/change-members-profile-landing-tab/
You have to add that code to the config.php file.
