BuddyPress.org

What does the link in the email look like?
Are you using multisite or not?
And is your site set up to use custom permalinks? Do all the other BuddyPress pages work properly? (e.g. groups, member profiles)

BP uses either the user_nicename or user_login fields from the wp_user table to build those member URLs. Your best bet is to figure out/find a WordPress plugin that does what you want, and then test it against BuddyPress.

I’m running this code on a BuddyPress installation to keep posts out of the main Activity Stream; it marks the posts as hidden rather than removing them completely. They still show up on a user’s individual Activity Stream.

Does someone know how to do this? This would really be the last step to fully integrate buddypress with my site.

Maybe this helps ? http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-a-buddypress-wordpress-username-availability-checker-for-your-site/

I’m having the exact same problem. Before this solution by @r-a-y worked:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/autocomplete-private-messaging-not-working/

But now it’s not working anymore. Any help would be much appreciated!

The code is really really old! BuddyPress has been moving on apace through major revisions since JJJ made this post two years ago – old code examples are very unlikely to to be relevent to latest BP releases due to so much core code changing.

Your best bet is to read the codex and perhaps have a look at the BP skeleton component.

Sorry, both plugins are outdated, not compatible with BP 1.5.3.1

#1 – build a child theme of bp-default,
– copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/entry.php following the directory structure i.e. childthemefolder/activity/entry.php
– open up entry.php and delete lines 64 – 78 and Save file.

#2 – renaming labels – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

BP supports whatever WP does to embed videos from Youtube, Vimeo, Hulu, etc. in regular blog posts – http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-easily-embed-videos-in-wordpress-blog-posts/

– Check database and see if seven tables for bbPress were automatically generated during the forums installatio process – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/3/#bp-forums-db

– Check the bb-config.php file created during the group forums installation process at root of your WP installation. DB information correct there?

– Check wp-admin menu BuddyPress > Pages = is the Forums page associated with “Forums”?

– Re-run wp-admin menu Settings > Permalinks and click Save.

== How can i disable all plugins ==
Access server files via FTP and rename plugins folder in wp-content/plugins to something else like wp-content/plugins-xxx to access your wp-admin. After you do, rename plugins folder to correct one. Btw, not good bulk-activating BuddyPress with other plugins.

@billieTS @ultimateuser no I want to know how to do the RSS thingy could you point me out in any direction ?

I think they should work fine in WordPress comments. If you can figure out how to make it stop working reliably, let us know on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org

Members created in the WP back-end don’t appear in the members list until the first time they login to the site. This is “by design”, and is due to the way user accounts work in WordPress. Its also an optimization to prevent (potentially) huge numbers of users that have never used the site from slowing it down.

Hi Isbul!

with the plugin BuddyPress Private Community you can choose what will be private and what will be public:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-community/

Hope it helps to you

I am also running a highly custom theme and was having this issue. I checked my default buddypress theme jquery and it was 1.7.1. I upgraded my themes jquery to 1.7.1 and it all works perfectly now!

thanks r-a-y!

Search on buddypress.org has never worked properly and probably never will work properly. This is because proper, natural-language search is a hard problem that the developers behind WordPress and Buddypress don’t have any experience with.

The most efficient way to search buddypress.org is to go to Google and type in

“site:buddypress.org whatever you’re searching for”

@billieTS I use the RSS of the activity stream and use an RSS to twitter streaming service to automatically tweet everything from your stream
