Just jumping in out of the blue.
Why would you need “yet” another Plugin for Groups when you already have a groups feature in buddypress out of the box. Even if you can disable the “group forums” feature that kind defeats the purpose of having a group in the first place.
Unless of course itthinx is not happy with the Buddpress Groups capabilities hence the “groups” plugin. Also why would the Buddypress team want to accommodate an interact with a feature they already have – especially a plug in that has a few thousand downloads. Just askin 1
Well, at least now I don’t feel crazy!
Thanks Paul-
Okay, so that begs the question- what are groups used for within WordPress/BuddyPress? If you deactivate forums, there’s not much left. You can’t contact just the people in that group. And I’m still looking for a good plugin to handle making content pages exclusive to certain groups. I’ve tried ‘Groups’ by itthinx, but there is a big disconnect between the actual BuddyPress groups and the groups within the ‘Groups’ plugin. So if I have a pre-existing group, the ‘Groups’ plugin doesn’t recognize it. If I name an existing group within the ‘Groups’ plugin, there is no members associated with it (since it is treated as a new group, but that can only be accessed via the plugin) so security doesn’t really apply. Any light you can shed on this would be appreciated.
Thanks 
Group Forums, using the latest version of BuddyPress.
Thank you very much for your reply
AN UPDATE:
I followed the advice of hughes.chad in this support thread and I managed to successfully manually trigger a Daily Digest email, and confirmed that all emails had been removed from the Digest queue visible in ?sum=1.
I tried again to send a digest without manually triggering it, and no digest was sent at the time it was supposed to be sent.
I then added:
`define( ‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true );`
to wp-config.php, as suggested by Boone Gorges in the thread I have linked to, but again no automated Daily Digests were sent.
So it seems that I have narrowed the issue down to the triggering of wp-cron.php.
On the last attempt to check what was in ?sum=1 the URL changed to ?sum=1&doing_wp_cron=1340741443.4746210575103759765625, suggesting it was trying to activate the cron_job.
What else can I try to get this working?
Thanks,
Nick
Ok, I know that it’s not a good practice to change the core, but if someone needs it, here you have how editors can edit other user profiles:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-screens.php -> line 35
if ( !bp_is_my_profile() && !is_super_admin())
change it for this:
if ( !bp_is_my_profile() && !is_super_admin() && !current_user_can(‘moderate_comments’))
It works 
It’s up to the other plugin creators to make their plugins work. Not my issue. The core team doesn’t make sure BuddyPress works with every plugin. If they did they would never sleep.
Sounds like you’re might have found a bug. Please would you make a report on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org ? thanks
@enderandrew Thanks a lot! It helps
Just wanted to add that all other plugins are working fine with BP mobile…only the above 2 mentioned plugins are an issue….I would request that BP mobile allow added plugins to work… cause then there is no other way to get the plugins working for BP mobile
My understanding is that there is no working search function – not sure why the search box is there!
Here are 3 sites built on BuddyPress that provide for business listings and reviews:
http://plazaa.de
http://bitsythis.com
http://somibo.com
They are all heavily customised builds, and use the BuddyPress member features to provide user accounts – where they create and manage their listings and reviews, and also send messages to other users.
BuddyPress is helpful in that it provides a backbone of classes and API functions for the accounts and messaging. If you want your users to have profiles, and easily access their listings / reviews, then it may be the best choice. If you want minimal profiles and are happy to build your own custom functions to handle that part, then yes vanilla WP and a form solution (bespoke, gravity, or some other 3rd party) is fine.
So only gravity forms and wordpress?
That’s a bit off topic for this thread, but BuddyPress does not use custom post types.
Thanks a lot for your reply. Will check as you advised. I really hope and wish that BP Mobile plugin works with other plugins. In fact in my opinion there should be a mobile first approach.
Thanks once again for your time.
Is this the page you mean: http://www.enterprisenation.com/become-member/
Is something that can be easily implemented if outlined in a tutorial? Or made into a plugin? I’m sorry to hijack this thread btw, but since spam is obviously a major issue with Buddypress, if sites like the ones you create have found a way around it, you could be helping tons of people if you share, in detail, the way you did this. Or you could at least make a ton of money if you sold it in plugin form.
I, too, am curious how custom post types come into play here. Does Buddypress itself use custom post types for activity or groups at all?
@edinchez & @valuser – it ended up not working the way I thought it would. Is there any way to use my original code with a slight tweak?
`
//=Redirect to User’s Profile Page after Login
function rt_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){
$redirect_to = bp_loggedin_user_domain($user->id);
return $redirect_to;
}
add_filter(‘login_redirect’, ‘rt_login_redirect’, 20, 3);
?>

@djpaul , Hey there Paul, so I was wondering if you had any success with finding an answer to the above issue? Any updates would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks. I had an old plugin — wordpress private. Switched to Private Buddypress. Works now.
You can do this but you might want to use something like gravity forms if you are not using the social features.
I do not give support for added plugins. I do not test with any added BuddyPress plugins unless explicitly stated. Your best bet is to remove the add actions from the mobile theme where the added plugins are placing code to strip your site down to bare essentials. This is generally a good idea for mobile UX.
The next version of the plugin will not allow added plugins to be used unless I make sure they work. This will be to avoid posts like this. I can’t support every iteration of site that BuddyPress wills. Having individual sites is great but that is because BuddyPress plugin developers are creating plugins for BP. No one as of yet has contacted me to say they want to add the mobilized version of their plugin to support BP mobile. That being said i’m making it so BP plugin devs can add the mobile template files themselves to their plugin. It’s a win for you and me as I won’t have to support every plugin my self.
If you are sure they are not going into the recipient’s junk or spam filter then the following page might help: https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/
Okay….
This was the selector:
.buddypress-page #page .item-list-tabs a {
color: white !important;
}
and the tab doesn’t show up unless there are friends attached to the logged in user.
