easiest way is probably by redefining the element as hidden through an overriding css rule, should work but i’m not sure i’d never personally tried, it’s sorta counter to the whole idea of a social network to do that i think and it’s possible it’s not quite that simple.
Alright… and how should I do that? Hide the element.
you may be able to hide the element but you won’t be able to obscure the profile url so there’s really no way (at least that i know of) to make usernames truly private.
How to remove the field @username from buddypress member profiles?
I would like the username to be private.
Anyone help please..
Ditto…
Experiencing the same issue…
Mr Fox
@monaloco only to the extent that anyone can just speculate about what’s happening. What theme are you using? Might help. Also, if you’re using Chrome, right click on the gray box and click on Inspect Element and copy the styles and post it here.
its a good theme
the link for download is boroken it dont work please give a another link
thank you
Sorry if that was confusing. I just uploaded a screen grab to my blog to host the image. It’s a separate page altogether. ๐
This is a completely different problem than Ive seen anyone else asking about so I thought it might help to see the issue itself. We have a construction page up right now because we’re just starting to design our site so I can’t give you an actual URL. Does the screenshot not help?
@monaloco So you have a screenshot of the issue. For a moment there you had me confused as to how you got BuddyPress in a WordPress.com account ๐
As to the issue, it’s possible that it could be resolved by simply tweaking styles in your theme’s style.css file. We need to see the site/webpage, site url?
bbPress Version: 2.4.1
BuddyPress Version: 1.8.1
Hi all,
We currently have a site that we are about to install bbPress for site wide forums. The author of the theme we are using is working on BuddyPress compatibility at which point we will add BuddyPress.
Once this is done, our plan is to create some groups and move a exsisting sitewide board (and all its posted etc) into each group as that groups board.
I can’t seem to find any documentation on how this is done…. Is this possible and if so can someone please point me to the docs. My search skills appear to be weak.
Thanks in advance.
Gavin
please just click on the link above to see the gray box… couldn’t post it in my post for some reason.
We have an annoying little gray box that is on all of our pages:

Anyone know how to remove this?
Hi ! I have a question about sharing users on different wp/bp installations.
I looked all around the web to find solutions ( Ok, I just googled.. ), and always got the same:
* THE SOLUTION *
ยซ If you want to share users between two sites, just put another prefix on the second site, and add CUSTOM_USER_TABLE and CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE to point at the first site’s prefix ยป
* *
That is cool. But I fear it wont work with Buddypress. Nor with plugins like Geo My WP.
You see, buddypress uses a lot of database fields, like bp_xprofile_fields. Will the second site be able to access the xprofile fields of users when I use THE SOLUTION ? I mean… the solution only transfers user_table and user_meta… not bp_xprofile_fields, or bp_friends, or wppl_friends_locator ( for geo my wp plugin… ).
So, if I want to let my second site access my first site’s users and xprofiles, don’t I need to add more than user_table and user_meta in its config.php ?
Thanks for the answer ๐
EDIT: Or is it easier with multisite ? It is not enabled yet… And my main site is already in a subfolder… As I understand it, the main site of a multisite must be at the root of the other sites… ?
Thank you all for the help and links. I really appreciate it! The theme author has responded and informed me that buddypress will be available in the next release of the theme, I just hope it’s sooner rather than later.
hi @fyreus,
despite you don’t mention your bp version nore the used theme, deactivate all extra group management plugins and consider this solution: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/how-to-add-members-to-a-group-via-wp-users-screen/
By default, BP let you add members to groups from the frontend if you’re friend and at least group admin. And it’s not a good idea to modify this, IMO. ๐
@matejr That’s a tall order. Setting up what you envision would require custom plugins and modifications beyond the scope of these forums. Having said that, you might want to read the following posts which show some solutions used to get a better understanding of the scope of the project you want to take on.

We are still working on this issue and is one of the last hurdles to going live. The theme may not be as much of an issue as previously thought.
One of my developers did a gradual install of all fresh components and tested it along the way on a different host:
WP: Fresh install
Buddypress: Fresh install
Razor theme: Fresh install and default settings
Everything was as fresh and default as I could make it.
just WP: ~1 secs
WP + Razor: ~1.7 secs
WP + Razor + Buddypress: just over 4secs
WP + Razor + BP + 20k groups (homepage): Just under 8 secs
WP + Razor + BP + 20k groups (grouppage): 9-10 secs
So thats it, no other theme or plugins being used. Just the core WP Razor BP.
With my customizations and required plugins, the site loads around 30s per page.
My site has 20K+ groups, but there are no users. Would the number of groups affect the load times of the site?
We are not caching the site currently as this issue needs to be addressed prior to that option.
Thank you for your help.
@shanebp looks pretty cool checking it out now thanks
Arrowchat is the usual solution.

Hey,
So basically I want to add a chatbox to my website, the sites hosted on a fairly good server. I’ve done some Googling and not really found a suitable plugin to do the job.
Has anyone else tried to do this before? And if so, what road did you go down?
Thanks
No need…. I’ll just explain it slightly better you’re using a buddypress child theme, so you need to create a folder inside _inc called “js”. For me, this holds all my javascript files in this case, you’ll put backstretch.js here (make sure the name is backstretch.js)
Next step is putting the background image in the folder _inc as well, place your image inside “images” within _inc, name it background.(whatever)
Now we need to add the code so that wordpress uses these files – we can add it to our functions.php
function backstretch_script() {
wp_register_script( 'backstretch', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/_inc/js/backstretch.js', 'jquery', '1.8.3', true);
wp_enqueue_script( 'backstretch' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'backstretch_script' );
function backstretch_add() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri()?>/_inc/images/background.jpg");
</script>
<?php
}
add_action ('wp_footer', 'backstretch_add', 20);
add that code as is – you may want to change the .jpg to .png or whatever file type your image is.
If for some reason you don’t want to place backstretch.js or your background image in those folders, you’ll need to modify these two lines to the new location.
wp_register_script( 'backstretch', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/_inc/js/backstretch.js', 'jquery', '1.8.3', true);
jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri()?>/_inc/images/background.jpg");
Hopefully that’s slightly clearer
Is the Groups > ‘Edit’ Function still broken? (Yes i’ve deactivated everything and activated everything 1 by 1) I can’t access anything like the picture posted by Aces.
*edit* Think i found something that works at the moment called BP Group Manager.
BP Group Management
Although the plugin claims that it’s already been added, it’s obvious it doesn’t work properly, so this will have to do until the Edit link is fixed.
