It’s not a glitch it’s a feature.
add (to a plugin, to your theme’s functions.php file, or to your bp-custom.php file)
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 2 );
@modernlooper — I just searched this support forum for “remove links in profile fields” and got very strange and non-related results. So I still don’t know how to fix the glitch.
Search here to remove links in profile fields. It’s a BuddyPress feature for searching users who are similar
@hornets2002 hey i have the same problem here
but i cant figure it out like you
can you plz tell me the full code to get the author profile
thx in advance
Can you report this as a bug on http://BuddyPress.trac.WordPress.org please
Which screenshots are you referring to?
Maybe the plugin developer hasn’t updated their plugin to work with latest BuddyPress
Currently unable to locate the developer of Buddypress BuddyChat through Google.
Please share this elusive developer’s link so that we also may enjoy the use of this super plugin!
@mercime
sorry, i cant find the corresponding files, neither in the directories nor in the editor list. Could you please point me to where they are located?
I’m guessing that this is just a bug that there is no answer/fix to it yet? Or maybe its just not compatible with my Theme.
Wow im surprised nobody mentioned BuddyChat, designed for buddypress. Google “Buddypress BuddyChat” to download it from the developer. I use it and its super.
Groups forums do work in bp multisite using bp-multi-network and a plugin like say Networks + .
You can post to a group forum from the main forum directory or you can go to a group and post a new topic in the group forum
But I’m afraid its way over my head as to how or as to how to fix for @coreymj78
Thanks.
Why I had asked was that i noticed after doing updates to wp 3.4.1 and updating buddypress that on some test sites with child themes the bp compatibility notice was present.
On clicking it brought me to the screen 1 of the bp template compatibility pack.
As the theme already had the folders in-situ I would have thought it would have brought me to screen 3 of the bp compatibilty pack as in previous updates.
As it happens i had done (as i presume others would do) tiny tweaks to the activity, group index & group loop files.
So if I had pressed the compatibility button I presume my tweaks would have been lost.
When I update buddypress again, i’ll pay more attention to see if this repeats.
@valuser
that is strange. I took your chunk of code above and pasted it into the bp-custom.php page in my plugins folder, and this is what I get in my address bar:
http://localhost/members/user1//friends/
I get pushed to the member profile instead of their blog
my specs:
I am using wordpress MU 3.4 with BP ver 1.5.6. – I place the code in my plugin file bp-custom.php.
not sure why I would get a different result than you
Only way is to set up a multi-network WordPress site (not multi-site). Google, and/or look at http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/ for more information.
It’s still pretty new, so mightn’t be bullet proof.
Bummer,
And what if i lets say use Twenty Eleven as default theme and use the BuddyPress ‘Use your own Theme’ Support plugin?
Than BuddyPress files are added to my Twenty Eleven theme correct?
You need to complete set up of the (group) forum component in wp-admin – BuddyPress > Forums Setup.
The registration component or page is visible if you enable user registration in WordPress (Settings > General).
If you go to your profile or the activity stream and type in @admin I get a notification.
Do it on the forums, no notification.
Don’t think that will work. why use BuddyPress if you do not want profiles, it’s the main purpose.
Thanks for the reply Paul.
If the sharing of site is WordPress behaviour, why can’t ‘friends’ via BuddyPress see each others blogs? I would love it if my post went into the activity for all other users to view but that doesn’t seem to be happening.
I feel like I’m doing something wrong but I don’t know enough to know what that might be.. 
Thanks
BTW – I really appreciate your help! Thank you!
OK – dumb question but where are the 6 Clean BP folders?
I’ve looked within the BP zip and they’re not there. When I uploaded the BP Comp. pack (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/) it actually skipped over step two automatically.
Where do I go to see them?
New widget bp-recent-topics do it. It shows custom options: author topic, freshness author, date, excerpt, avatars, group, group avatar.
