@wwwobbly Congratulations and Happy Easter indeed.

== Is there a way to completely UNINSTALL and REINSTALL all components of BuddyPress and BuddyPress Template Pack?! ==

To uninstall template pack, you can delete the BP template folders in your theme’s folder, then deactivate template pack plugin.

To uninstall BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

== I keep getting a 404 Page Not Found Error for EVERY BuddyPress link I click on at the top main menu ==

Mod_rewrite must be enabled in your server for “pretty permalinks” required by BuddyPress. Go to Settings > Permalinks and set it to something other than default.

== The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, Discussion Forums, User Groups, Members, Activate, Register. Repair ==

Go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages. You need to associate BP components with Pages. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages

I’ve just done it in a non bp child theme – wrapping the new css in extra brackets for @media in style.css – ie:
`
@ media (max-width: 520px) {
.my-class {
float: none;
width:100%;
}
.whatever-class {
float: none;
width:100%;
}
}
`
Note the two sets of brackets…

Please Note: There should not be a space between `@` and `media` but as someone has used that as a nickname it turns it automatically into a mention and I don’t know if it’s possible to disable that

It is probably the https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css stylesheet kicking in.

You should be able to use @media in your child theme stylesheet…..

I’m having this same issue.

How can we change buddypress so that the activity stream picks up the ‘featured image’ instead of the just the first embedded image in the post, which is the only image that will appears?

Is there a plugin?

At the moment I am having to include both an ’embedded image’ and ‘featured image’ within a blog post which results in the image appearing twice on the blog page.

If I remove the ’embedded image’ only a link and excerpt of a published blog appears on the activity stream without a thumbnail image.

Thanks for your help in advance,

fix? It’s like that by design, it allows a user to search for other .users with similar interests..

However, if you want more control – Their’s a plugin for that. (we should seriously steal apples “theirs an app for that” marketing.)

“The most important plugin (imho) which is not available is new user moderation…”

In 1.6 the core devs have been doing some work on user capability stuff to make user moderation easier and mentioned that some of the changes will “give us more control over a users status and capabilities for later.” So, something like that ‘could’ end up in core *later*
See: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4038

But, their are wordpress’ plugins that might help keep non-authorised users out – eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/ & https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-invites/

Hmm, I highly suggest you make a backup of the file I want you to alter. I’m not sure if your using wordpress or not but in any case what I did was..enter buddypress–>buddypress themes–>bp default—>activity–>index.php. (so yea make a back up of your index.php file) Then edit the index.php file by deleting the following <li class="selected" id="activity-all"><a href=&quot;" title=""><?php printf( __( 'All Members <span>%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_total_site_member_count() ); ?></a></li>

Same as mrguythornton, I still don’t know how @ktrusak resolved the issue.

Thats great Chris!

I also experienced my first registered spammer today, while I already took some precautions.
I’ve installed https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin/ to stop spammers from getting in. The most important plugin (imho) which is not available is new user moderation…

A lot of small communities also use buddypress, and for those communities I think it would be fantastic to have an option to hold new users for moderation.
This plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/ was able to do that but hasn’t been updated in ages…
And that option will probably stop bad users from getting in, forever

No — BuddyPress is just a WordPress plugin, so if you disable user registration, it’s off, everywhere. User accounts are shared across all plugins.

@alanchrishughes – the plugin (Buddypress template pack) is simply a utility tool, it’s not required.

What does it do? From what i gather from your comment above, you tried to copy the template folders from Tpack, but if you look inside your theme, the folders are actually empty, which is why it’s not working The plugin copies the folders from the bp-default theme (inside the buddypress plugin)

So – you either need to turn on (activate) template pack and go through the configure stuff (once done you can deactivate the template pack) or, copy over the files manually from within plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/dp-default

If you choose to not keep the template pack active, you may also need to copy over the functions into your themes functions.php (https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-template-pack/trunk/bpt-functions.php) as it has some almost required stuff (like registering the “add friends” buttons)
