@zeallous not sure if formidable pro plugin has integrated compatibility with BuddyPress. As for Gravity Forms, please check their forums for integration with BuddyPress.
@samuelrh it would help if you provided more information about your own installation. Did you enable group creation in Settings > BuddyPress > Settings so that anyone can create a group?
There are a variety of reasons why registration won’t work for some installations with different/similar configurations. Help us help you by creating a new topic of your own and providing us more information about your installations – single WP/WPMS, theme used, plugins used, etc. or did you check if registration process is working in your WP install if BuddyPress is deactivated?
@whiteeagle1985
You may want to try basic troubleshooting by deactivating all plugins other than BuddyPress including the WPMU DEV Membership plugin and also try activating a known theme that works well with BuddyPress such as Twenty Twelve or bp-default. Then test the registration and see if the issue still persists. The idea here is to isolate what is causing your issue and unfortunately since that plugin and theme is premium from WPMU DEV a lot of volunteers here will not have access to them to help you resolve the issue, so you will most likely have to rely on WPMU DEV for support unless someone here does have access to those plugins and can offer you assistance. Good luck!
@koomak @tperkins there’s a trac ticket for this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5140 = would be helpful if you provide more information about your installation, also if this happened only when you upgraded to BP 1.8.1 or do you have a new installation?
I should be more specific, and say that I’m using easyphp.org’s development WAMP package… I’ve been happy with it over several years.
Good thought about Skype – I do not have Skype installed, but I did have an Apache port conflict with SpiceWorks’ inventory tool, which I resolved…
I implemented pretty permalinks before I activated BuddyPress.
Haven’t used WAMP for a long while (XAMPP is tops) … You mentioned you have pretty permalinks working in WAMP. Was that before you activated BuddyPress or after? Btw, if you have SKYPE installed, you have to go through an extra step.
No, I never have been able to resolve it!
Could this possibly be resolved by adding an entry to the hosts file in Windows 7?
ooh what about this one for the file uploads:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/
Can anyone advise which of these options works best?
thanks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profiles-manager/
ok, doing some more research and I’ve found this plugin which would possibly work by only showing the credentials profile fields for the experts. I’m not using S2member, but I am looking at other membership plugins, or I assume I could just use a capability manager to create new roles….
Yes? No? Maybe?
ok – back to Google for some more research…
HI! I have a multisite network with the latest versions of WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress on the main site. I have functionality I’d like to implement, but I’m not sure where to start! If anyone could point me in the right direction I’ll be eternally grateful.
I’d like to add another page/area to the profile of members in a certain group. The forums are open to all members, but I want experts in the field to be identified as such. They will be added to an “Experts” group and then have the extra page/area where they can list their credentials. It would need to allow for unlimited text fields (to list their credentials) and possibly multiple file uploads so they can upload a scan of the credentials. The text fields will need to be searchable.
I’m not sure what the best way is to approach this, so if anyone can give me some guidance that would be awesome, thanks.
Ideally I’d also like to have a system that emails me if they haven’t completed their credentials within a set time frame after being added to the group, but this could come later.
@padawaness did you resolve this? I’m having the exact same problem. I’m trying to develop my site locally, but cannot get BuddyPress 1.8.1 to Activate – I too am using WAMP…
Any ideas… Anybody?
Rob.
Hello,
Where can I find documentation on how BuddyPress maintains security?
Could somone please look at this link: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Security
On this link, there is plenty of information on how Elgg handle security
This is the kind of information I would like to read about BuddyPress
I am grateful for your reply!
This theme appears to be almost 100% buddypress compatible out of the box.
One little glitch with Group Directory page.

Thank you
Bumping this thread as I am still having problems, would anyone be able to help?
Glad the issue could be replicated.
@elangley: thanks for submitting a trac ticket. I’m definitely interested in having this issue fixed. And thx as well for the advice on the BuddyPress Import plugin, will try it.
Before activating Buddypress I had gone into the general settings in the dashboard and checked the anyone can join option so I wouldn’t think it’s anything to do with that. Both pages were created automatically when the plugin was activated so I’m not sure why I was getting a 404 page not found error…
Having same issue. Moreover I’m running multisite in which all 5 sites have all the same plugins activated + all use the same theme. Yet, on some sites cropping works and on half of them not. All sites have exactly same setup, same settings, same extensions and same functions. Nothing modified. Along with the crop function, the buddypress register function also fails on those site where cropping fails.
Theme issue? Don’t think so.
Other plugin issues, nope.
PS, on the sites that DO have a functioning cropping, when first time clicked on any area within the cropping module, the page jumps and users have to scroll up again.
WP 3.6.1 mlti network, latest buddypress, bbpress latest, cubepoints, set permalinks on %post-name%. Activated and deactivated rtMedia (which sucks for me since it conflicts with build-in media upload) but also gives same results.
@realista69
This is contains the same basic subject matter as your other post:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/guidance-with-streaming-data-from-facebook-etc/
@modemlooper has already given you advice there so check it out.
@abertawe
Sounds like you did not associate the register and activate pages yet. This happens when you fail to go to dashboard/settings/general and click the box beside “Membership Anyone can register” before installing BuddyPress. If that is the case then you need to go to dashboard/settings/buddypress/pages and use the dropdown menu’s to select those pages then click “Save Settings.” As far as a theme goes there is tons out there, but I would suggest staying away from bloated themes that have more features than you will ever need because it only further complicates the set-up and you will have to depend on the themes authors for support and from my experience even with premium themes there is a slow response time. As far as testing goes I would use a localhost with something like XAMPP:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
Reason being is you do you want your competition seeing what your creating by having it on even a free live server because they could steal your idea and get the jump on a metal based community.
Anyway I hope this helps you out and good luck with your metal site, keep Rock’n!
@mercime @hnla
Never mind I made a mistake and copied the wrong files over to my child theme and just realized what I did, du-huh!
@mahdiar
It would help if provided more info like theme your using. If you have the proper directory structure the examples I provided will work. Please review:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
Also review:
Activity Loop
As well as @pollyplummer ‘s article:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-customize-the-buddypress-activity-loop/
Just wondering whether anyone got this to work as I’m interested in getting ArrowChat myself?
