hi @ananwebman,
accordingly to what brajesh wrote here 2 weeks ago, his plugin works with bp 1.8 ! So, it doesn’t work should be defined much better, or should be discussed directly with the author.
Despite what you write
this is required to approve accounts and discourage users posting incorrect images
the answer is yes and no.
A signup is approved as soon as the subscriber send back the validdation key received by email.
Now his account exist and is active, ok ?
But if you allow any upload during the subscription process, it’s as like you allow a unknow user to upload a unknow document on your server. What about this uploaded picture if you decide to ban or delete that user ?
This is against any security policy, don’t you think so ?
It’s best practice to not allow anything to a user before his account is approved by the site admin and evtl. some security plugins.
Hello here is my new problem!
I have a site under buddypress Where I created sitemaps using the BuddyPress plugin Sitemap Generator
The file was created without any problem and in the root directory but unfortunately they are inaccessible and when I try to access it I get a 404 page.
It’s the same thing on the side of Google Webmaster when I send the sitemaps I get this error;
Generic HTTP error: 404 not found
We have an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Make sure your sitemap is in accordance with instructions and is available in the location you specified. Then try again.
Please help and thank you for your help inadvance

Thanks @shanebp
Works perfectly!
Linking the author page through to the profile page is in my opinion the best way to join WordPress to Buddypress because it allows viewers looking at blogs on the author page to choose to click through to the bp profile or to continue to look at more blog posts by category.
Thanks a lot for the code. Great solution!
It does seem to be pretty new. This is the best info I can find on it, which isn’t much. I guess that pretty much makes my decision.

Its kinda hard to compare when one doesn’t even know what WPeddit is. I seriously doubt whatever WPeddit is would be on the same level as BP as it has been in development for 5-6 years.
I’m considering both WPeddit and BuddyPress for a site. Can you tell me how they compare?
I will have several contributing authors, and I want visitors to vote on everyone’s posts. My idea is they can view posts by Latest Posts, Most Popular, and Most Popular (last 30 days), or something along those lines.
I will have several other features on the site, so I need to work these post listings into spots on my existing template by use of shortcodes and template code.
I have a feeling you are trying to do something that is practically already there.
Every profile has a unique link. Here is the link for your profile:
https://buddypress.org/community/members/tripvips/
You can give this link to anyone who wants to view the profile. Here “give the link” means anything you can think of: post on Facebook, post in forums, post in forum signatures, attach this link to profiles on 3rd party websites (when you post comments for instance).
If needed, you can create a banner type images for posting anywhere with the link “under” image leading to the person’s profile.
The above is basics and if you want to have different “codes” leading to the same profile, you simply need to look into things like URL cloaking/redirecting/shortening/tracking. Using these, you can have differently looking URLs, all leading to desired profile’s URL.
Did I not fully got your question, or are you trying to make things a lot more complicated than they are?
Regards
Don’t thank me yet! You might be hating me in a few days:

I plan on releasing it on the WP repository!
Why! Is this deliberate confrontation? Generally speaking one wouldn’t do this or at least only do this if one didn’t give a hang about what people thought about you.
Hi
I realised that the blog post in the activity stream does not update itself when changes are made. I am wondering if there is any way to make it to.
WordPress Version: 3.6.1
BuddyPress Version: 1.8.1
Website: http://www.skinny-sized.com
When viewing a member’s profile the text size is clear, however when you enter edit mode each input field is too narrow/short. You cannot see what you are typing, which can lead to spelling errors and missed information.
This error appeared when signed in on Safari and Internet Explorer.
Please direct me to the css file and section where I can modify and rectify this situation.
Thank you,
Regina
1. members are searched by profile fields
2. you can create unlimited profile fields
3. there may be an events plugin
4. BP has invite only private groups
5. there was a geo plugin, not sure its up to date
6. members are unlimited

oops… my numbering is off. 🙂
Hello,
I’m trying to determine which social networking plug-in will work best for my site needs.
I didn’t find a clear answer to some of the questions I have while searching the support forum or on the site.
1. members directory: I need members to be able to search for other members by hobbies or interest, etc. For example I would like to search for all members who like “bike riding” or “reading”. This way I can start a group for bike riders.
2. Profiles: Could I add additioanl profile fields for members to fill-in
2. Events calender: Can members or groups start there own event. It would be great if they can sell tickets on our site and we’ll get a small precentage over the sale. This would help support the site.
3. Can groups be private. By invite only
4. geo location: looking for members/groups with like intrest in a certain area.
5. Number of members limited. Is there a limit to the number of members that could sign up?
I’m more than happy to add extra plug-ins to make this happen. Thanks
In the screenshots it shows a link to BuddyPress Courseware in the WordPress control panel to the left. My plugin activated, but I don’t have access to any of the functionality. There is no link.
I am using WordPress 3.6.1, have downloaded the most recent Buddypress and BuddyPress Courseware, and am using the ParkCollege theme.
If anyone knows about this, please comment!
And to anyone who reads this post later, and is looking answer to the same question, I found a new plugin called rtMedia – which is a great choice for adding photos, videos, or audio on your posts and showing it in the activity stream. It seems to have released 3 days earlier, atleast the latest version with this name.

But, if you know anything better, please tell us about it!
Hello
I installed BuddyPress but in buddypress.org when you are logged out you see Anonymus(i dont speak english perfect)
In my site there is no anonymus.What to do
I am interested in being able to query when certain fields, but not others, in the extended profiles were updated. For example I would have an address field, and I’d be interested if that had been updated recently, but would not care about how recently other fields had been changed.
I noticed that there is already a “last_updated” column in the wp_bp_xprofile_fields table, so I thought I would just need to query that. However when I test how that behaves by clicking on “edit my profile” it looks like if I change one field in the extended profile the “last_updated” field is updated on all the fields for that user, even the ones I did not change. Does anyone have any idea why that is, or thoughts on a better way to go about doing what I want to do?
This is on buddypress 1.8.1 (installed from Commons in a Box 1.0.5.1).
@bloxblox
Its really not good to reply on 2 year old threads. Anyway there is a plugin for that and from what I can see it still works decent even though it has not been updated in a few years.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-edit-activity-stream/
@modemlooper
“Neither Facebook, Twitter or Google+ allow yo to edit activity/ status updates. Seems like it’s the normal on the interwebs.”
Facebook does let you edit now.
Even if they didn’t, is that a good reason to not allow it on buddypress? Facebook do lots of things that don’t follow the “golden rule”.
Well, I’ve solved the problem – or, at least, what was causing MY problem – others may be having different issues.
Background: I originally set up this site in BP 1.6. When 1.7 came along and the old built-in forum system was deprecated, I installed bbPress 2.3 as instructed and it migrated all of my forums over to the new system.
So, I naturally assumed that all of the settings would be taken over too. I’ve just looked at the individual forums and have noticed that they have all had their Visibility set to Public, even though they are in Private or Hidden groups!
So, setting the visibility to what it should be has solved the problem.
HOWEVER, I do still consider there to be at least 3 bugs in the BuddyPress / bbPress software:
1. When the forums were converted from bbPress 1.x to 2.x they should have had their visibility set correctly.
2. The forums are all hosted within groups. Forums like this should respect the group’s Privacy settings.
3. Even if you should set a Public forum within a Private group, the posts should not appear in non-members’ activity feeds. The forum itself is not visitable, neither are its individual posts.

@squaredindex If you’re using a WordPress theme, not a BP Default child theme, check out BP Theme Compatibility information at
a. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
b. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/
Basically if you want to change ALL the BP pages to have a sidebar or not, then create a new file named buddypress.php and paste in the code of your theme’s file which has a sidebar or a full width layout. Then upload buddypress.php to the root of your theme’s folder in server. For theme compatibility to work, your theme should have the_title and the_content within the WP loop. Read a) above.
If you want to mix-and-match BP pages with full-width and two-column (with sidebar) layouts, read b).
