BuddyPress.org

You can either update a plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-posts-on-profile/ or use this plugin http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddyblog-allow-users-to-blog-from-their-buddypress-profile/

@briffel there are no groups on that page.

Thanks @mercime, @giannisff, @henrywright-1, @valuser, @bphelp & @charise 4 your feedbacks 🙂

To solve this I decided to hijack a page. If the member is logged in, they get their profile, otherwise, they go to a signup page.

Just pop the following code into your functions.php file… and create a page named ‘profile’. Now you can add that page to your WP menu and it should do what you need.

 function redirect2profile(){
	include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );
	if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/profile/' && is_plugin_active('buddypress/bp-loader.php') && is_user_logged_in()){
		global $current_user;
		wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') . '/members/'. $current_user->user_login . '/profile/'); 
		exit();
	}
 }
add_action('init', 'redirect2profile');

@knromaine This isn’t really a question regarding BuddyPress, this ‘page’ isn’t a buddypress’ page it’s a WP page which is using the WP reading settings to set it as the page to use for your index or frontpage, this will have the effect of removing the default view WP provides of the primary posts loop display from your frontpage (so a further page is required that says where wp shows blog post loops) and also removes or changes the buddypress default frontpage view of showing the Activity stream. What is intended to be shown on this new page we can’t say that is dependent on what your theme provides and as such it’s to the theme authors that you ought to address further questions on this aspect of your site.

@ggsalas to prevent confusion, go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings -> Activity Settings and make sure that “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” is unchecked. That way, if someone wants to read/comment, they either go to the forum topic or the blog post page.

Now after moving I am getting 404 errors, but more importantly, my paths are being shown as “weburl.weburl/members/” instead of “weburl/members/”. I simply did the find and replace on all the database before I moved it over to the server.

@steve_macneil something obviously went awry with your migration from dev to production site. Backup your dev database first and try this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/duplicator/ required PHP 5.3 or higher

The particular plugin that was causing issues (for me) on the iPad has been updated and the iPad issue has, as far as i am concerned,been completely resolved.

Yes exactly as per the guide! 🙂 try it and see is best approach.
