We are looking for the best way to create a registration process within BuddyPress for our WP/BP site. We want our users to receive a welcome email with all the necessary information so they can login.
Any guidance for this process would be appreciated.
We have a very short turnaround, as we are ready to launch ASAP.
Thanks
Done, thanks.
Yes it’s the theme as private community works with default BP.
Not really sure how that helps me though. I’ve gone through 6-7 premium themes now trying to get BP to work how it should and 3 of those are since BP1.7 was launched with it’s claims of working with any theme (it blatantly doesn’t).
I think i’m just going to give up with it before i have a breakdown to be honest.

Okay but if its the theme and you invest a lot of time testing plugins and none of them work because of the theme then your back at square one. I suggest activating the bp-default theme, then activating the private community plugin, then log out and click the nav links to see if the problem persists. It only takes maybe 2 minutes to check.
Very possibly but i’m not skilled enough to check, i have limited experience in all this so have to rely on plugins.
It’s this theme > maestro
I’ll keep trying anyway, there’s membership/role plugins i can try i guess.
@fpats
Have you considered maybe its your theme overriding the functions of both these plugins? What theme are you using?
Neither work i’m afraid, not for us anyway.
I’ve activated private community but can still access BP when not logged in.
I’ve activated private buddypress but no tab is added to our settings page so it can’t be configured.
Someone please shoot me.
thanks anyway, i’ll keep trying.
So what can be done?
This is a new site Buddypress based site with Groups and if you make your Group create a private forum, it is not accessible (page not found error), although you see it in the Forums list!
🙁
@mttwill87 Send me an e-mail at espellcaste@gmail.com so that we can talk about it.
I found the file that’s causing this. It’s this one:
/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php
If i replace it with the one from previous version the widget works fine. but instead of replacing it, does anyone have a fix for this?
I’m afraid if i change it, BP won’t use the new query to return the users list anymore.
Feel free to correct me if i’m wrong.
thanks
The log in widget has also disappeared. Could it be a temporary solution for the recent forced password log ins?
Hello, ever since I updated my website (www.featuredish.com) to the new buddypress update 1.7, I’ve noticed that the toolbar does not appear for logged out users. I most certainly have the option selected to show for logged out users, and prior to the update it had been working fine. I can’t seem to figure out how to fix this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi I am using wordpress 3.5.1 plus just installed buddypress 1.7.
All looks great, but on testing registration, no mail seems to be sent?
(I’ve checked spam folders).
Any suggestions?
( I read somewhere that I should check that PHP mailer is installed on my server- could this be the problem?)
I had no problem with earlier installs.
Thanks for the advice.
I came across a possible bug on my install. If a user tries to register using a BuddyPress page name as their username such as “members” or “activity” they are given the following error message:
“Only lower case numbers and letters allowed”.
I would have thought the error message should be something along the lines of “Username not available”.
@sarathbabu_k,
technically it is possible to make bp group documents and buddydrive working together. But you have to do it yourself. BuddyPres Docs is working with BP 1.7 (https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs), BP Group Documents was developped for BP 1.5 and a later version was able to work with 1.6.x. This is version is no more usable with 1.7, unless someone wants to update it.
But don’t expect that buddydrive will comme with more features. He’s intended to stay simple and used as a file MANAGER, not to became one day a file EDITOR
Hi, I just recently added BuddyPress to my customized themed WordPress website. I am using BuddyPress 1.7. I know which features of buddy press I want implemented into my site I just have zero clue on how to do that. I would like to hire someone to customize BuddyPress to my exact needs.
Depends on if it requires a little wordpress and bp customization but you can try here:
BP Jobs Board
Just remember BP is a wordpress plugin and it requires wordpress to work. Good luck!
Thanks @bphelp, I am looking to hire someone that does specifically BuddyPress customization. Wouldn’t that be more likely to be here?
basically strstr(); function requires both vars to contain data so would suggest changing line 864 in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template.php from:
if ( !empty( $page_template ) && strstr( strtolower( $page_template ), strtolower( $component ) ) ) {
to:
if ( !empty( $page_template ) && !empty( $component ) && strstr( strtolower( $page_template ), strtolower( $component ) ) ) {

Be specific in what your requirements are. List your budget, and as much info you can.

Hi Buddy,
please is there a way to know a latest plugin on buddypress.org, so that i don’t have to go through all the plugins list every time searching for the new release.
thanks
Double check. This only happens if a BuddyPress component is added. A theme can add components.
