Hi there
First of all, thanks for this new version. I can imagine that tough work, good job!
Anyway, on one of my websites I’d love to let the old WP registration instead of this BP registration. In older versions there were ways how to disable it:
In functions.php put something like this:
remove_action( ‘init’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );
or use this:
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’, 3 );
Well, now in version 1.7.1 I am not able to disable this BuddyPress registration, can you help? I simply need to use old WP registration.
I’d appreciate your help.
Thank you!
There is a plugin which will let you do this very easily
BuddyPress Block Activity Stream Types:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/
Hi there,
I read this instruction on how to filter things from my activity stream:
http://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/
…but I’m not comfortable enough with code to know how to do this to filter out announcements that new members have joined the site. We have so many sploggers joining every day, even with Wanguard, I just want to filter out any announcement of new members joining the site from the activity stream altogether.
Can anyone help walk me through this?
Many thanks.

Using WP 3.5.1
BP 1.7.1
@haies Re themes: Nearly all WordPress themes are compatible with BuddyPress since BuddyPress 1.7.
Re plugins compatible with BuddyPress: most, not all, of the plugins tagged BuddyPress in the WordPress plugins repository https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/buddypress
Do check first if the plugin is compatible with the latest WordPress/BuddyPress versions.
@robinlolo I assume that you’re on a Windows server hence the index.php added to your URL for pretty permalinks like http://indonesia.nexeviintl.com/index.php/members/ Adding index.php is not going to work with BuddyPress.
Check out https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/iis7-web-config/ or https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite or contact tech support of your webhosting service for assistance. Please make sure that your pretty permalinks are working before activating BuddyPress again.
So, I’ve Googled and Googled, but I couldn’t find what I was looking for.
I need some documentation or a tutorial so I can show the members of my BuddyPress website how to use BuddyPress. Not how to add plugins, do admin stuff, etc., but how to actually use BuddyPress as a user.
Any ideas?
My dashboard:
I installed the buddypress plugin first and then, the bbpress plugin.
The “forums” option doesn´t display in my dashboard.
Thanks for any help
indeed, i also thought i had seen some issues with g+ sharing and that plugin or at least our method of g+ sharing (addthis plugin).
…if it was fully compatible 🙂
yeah i agree all things being equal the plugin would seem to be beneficial. 😀
Completely agree! Content is the most important thing.
For the site i’m building, my SEO efforts are more for the end user’s benefit and less for search engine rank improvements. When a user looks at Google’s search results I’d like them to see a meaningful page title and description. I class the page title and description as “off-page content” which is just as important to the end user as the “on-page” information they are reading.
exactly if you place members in the top root of your theme BP 1.7 will look for that and assume you are wanting to disable theme compatibility, it’s a means of ensuring backwards compatibility with themes already customised or template packed. BP theme compatibility only allows you to overload files by placing them in my-theme/buddypress/members/ (or community), soon, in hopefully 1.8, there will be further means of managing and using custom template parts under theme compatibility which should mean we can move forward from old methods and use theme compatibility exclusively.
@oligou,
what is the theme you use ?
Have you correctly setup BP pages ? Each activated BP component should use his own page.
Have you correctly setup your permalinks ? Can be everything except “default”.

I’ve never seen any impact on traffic using it. there may be some benefit but i think the time would better be spent developing content, call me old fashioned. 😛
Yoast is fantastic for WP, sadly not so much for BP.
Nevermind, it appears that I have been putting the child theme files in the wrong folders and eventually it messed up the compatibility mode.
Should have been childtheme/buddypress/members/ instead of /childtheme/members
Hoping that it will all work out better now.
yup you are correct never noticed that before.
more info : fresh install WP, buddypress and bbpress as well.. done this morning
Yoast isn’t compatible with parts of BuddyPress @ubernaut – try seeing if page titles for member profiles work for you. I’d be interested to know.
@megainfo SeoPress is fantastic actually, seems to be the only plugin that tries to be compatible with BP. As for the 70%, that sounds spot on. A few bits could be improved
- 404 page support
- Friends component support
- BP registration page support
I had followed this link to import BP internal forums to bbPress forums but stumbled upon step 5 as I couldn’t find the ‘Tools > Forums’ (Under ‘Tools’ no ‘Forums’ is listed; bbPress was activated):
(5) Import old forums to bbPress 2
In the WP admin dashboard, navigate to “Tools > Forums“
Click on the “Import Forums” tab.
Please help, thanks!
UPDATE (SOLVED)
If anybody is getting this issue, unfortunately and fortunately I could find the error. It was a plugin conflict (I don’t know why I couldn’t find it before) with RS Buddypress Activity Refresh and its option “Date format” it was overriding the date format and for some reason language too.
For the moment I just deactivate it and now everything is ok but is so sad because this is/was an excellent functionality than BP should have in core and the plugin seems not to be developed anymore.
Thanks to everybody for your support but specially to @chouf1
Make sure you have a page created for your registration and then in admin at Settings > BuddyPress > Pages you have set the registration to your page.

This theme is severely outdated. I would not use it with BP 1.7. You can use most any 3 column WordPress theme with BuddyPress 1.7
@modemlooper
Hi,
I am using BP Columns theme in the website – http://psychotherapyandcounseling.org for which I request resolution of some issues I am facing. The problem is in Appearance >> Widgets. The sidebars cannot be configured at will. Their structure as it is visible in the “Widgets” page is different from the actual structure of the main page of the site: http://psychotherapyandcounseling.org.
The configuration is as follows:
1. WP version 3.5.1
2. Installed WordPress as a directory in the root.
3. The WP version has kept upgrading from earlier versions.
4. WP was functioning properly before installing BP.
5. BP version 1.7.1
6. BP was upgraded from earlier versions, which happened automatically.
7. Plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated: Akismet, BP-Registration-options, Collapase Page and category plugin, collapsing categories, custom post display, decent comments, fast secure form, floating social media icon, members list, smart slideshow widget, Ultimate TinyMCE, WordPress Database backup, YouTube sidebar widget
8. No core files modified in any way.
10. No custom functions in bp-custom.php.
TIA.
