@ubernaut I’m not sure how I could contribute to be honest as I don’t have the required level of development skills to really make any kind of meaningful contribution. Does Automattic not have some level of involvement in the development needs of Buddypress?

I could contribute financially to get a developer to assist with this specific problem if need be but don’t know any devs who are BP qualified

hi i saw this solution does it help?

If you create a new profile group, then you could move some of those profile fields to these new groups and it won’t show up on all a once in the registration page.

To create a new profile group, login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “BuddyPress > Profile Fields” page. Next, click on the “Add New Group” button located in the header text.

@shreyachaudhary re backups – Read
– https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup
There’s also a plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/

Can’t see how deactivating BP Login Redirect plugin could affect those customizations. Did you follow instructions on how to customize labels at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ ?

@nomad-one The feeds for all your public groups are working. There are no feeds for private groups which is how it’s supposed to be for logged out users.

I was wrong to use bp template pack?

@prn86 As of BP 1.7, BuddyPress is compatible with almost all WordPress themes without installing BP Template Pack plugin. Did you check your BP pages first, e.g. Members and Groups, before installing BP Template Pack plugin?

If not, deactivate BP Template Pack plugin then delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your gameleon theme folder in server during the Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

well you’re always welcome to help make things better it is definitely frustrating when a problem you can’t figure out is posted here and you don’t get a response or a partial one i think its basically a thing where people have to decide how they can best help and devote what time they can to help buddypress thrive.

there is no question that time is universally rare commodity amongst most of the people around here as I’m sure it is for you as well. you should consider taking part in the devchats or helping out either here on on trac, if you have the time.

sorry @ubernaut, I thought seeing the last reply without any solution was more than a year ago was a really bad sign. We’d only know someone’s working on it if we’re told and I do appreciate the work you guys do.

It is quite frustrating though as much as we know it’s open source software when it’s promoted so positively and then in real world use a person runs into crucial problems which derail projects and tarnish the image of the product.

Even more frustrating is the incorrect mimetype problem with group RSS feeds which i posted about here – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-group-activity-rss-feeds-not-valid-mime-type/

thats not very helpful is it? please understand everyone who posts here is a volunteer like any open source project. we are working on this bug currently (today in fact) you can see that here:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4564

@shreyachaudhary,

Not to worry,

You will be able to access your site through FTP, then rename buddypress to buddypres, and rename Commons in a Box aswell then you can Investigate further.

Naijaping

@zap4ever deactivate by renaming buddypress-group-extras plugin folder in server via s/FTP or cpanel

@prn86 if you need to post long blocks of code, please do so at pastebin.com and paste the generated URI here.

What theme are you using? If you are on WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.7.2, BP pages are rendered automagically without the BP Template Pack plugin.

So, Can I get some clarification from a friendly user.

I want to have multiple BP networks, all exclusive to each other and private.
I want to allow for members to be able to ask to ‘join’ any network and if permission is receive.. he or she is in, without the need to fill out a form..

Is this possible?

If I need to provide additional details please let me know.

We shouldn’t really have to ask you for that 🙂

I trust this is a custom theme you’re using? If it is a custom theme then switch to twentytwelve theme and see if issue still persists if not this shows you it’s a theme issue and you need to contact the theme author in the first instance for support.
