BuddyPress Global Search is a separate plugin that enables you to use some better search-functions. This plugin has been abandoned for a while and could be a security risk on your site. A lot of people still use it – what version do you have of the plugin?

You could just “ignore” the warning within your WordFence control panel, since you already know having this plugin is in itself a risk to your site.

This topic has been resolved by BuddyPress 14.2.1 Maintenance & Security release.

@ph59 – I’ve been working on this too, but for now the only close solution to this is the following premium plugin. Would love to know if this helps!

Facebook Like User Activity Stream for BuddyPress

Trac ticket #9245 was created to resolve the reported issue.

I’m no longer using BuddyPRess or bbPress. I switched to BuddyBoss and gave up on trying to get BuddyPress to work the way I wanted.

@venutius,

How about this for bbPress:

function goto_home() {
    wp_redirect(get_option('siteurl'));
}
add_action('bbp_feed', 'goto_home', 1);

@whyknott, are you using bbPress or only BuddyPress. I didn’t see anything in what you posted above that would disable bbPress feeds.

Actually, for my purposes the redirect actually works better for all the disables that wp_die() which appears to result in a funny page that some browser still think is an XML page. Does anyone know of a downside in using wp_redirect() here?

I understand your frustration with BuddyPress not working as expected after installation. It can be tricky to set up sometimes. Have you tried the troubleshooting steps suggested, like disabling other plugins and switching to a default theme? This can help identify if there’s a conflict.

Also, ensure that you’re using the latest version of BuddyPress and that your PHP version is at least 7.4, as this can impact performance. If you’re still facing issues, consider checking the BuddyPress forums for specific setup guides or common issues. Have you had a chance to reach out to their support or community for more tailored assistance?

You can achieve a vertical display of profile fields in BuddyPress by adding some custom CSS. Try this:

css
#profile-fields .field {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 15px; /* Adjust spacing as needed */
}
Add this code to your theme’s custom CSS section or the Additional CSS section in the WordPress Customizer. This should stack your profile fields vertically with some space between them.

Have you checked if your theme might have any specific settings that affect the layout of BuddyPress fields?
