Hi, please do not create a new topic because no one has responded to you yet.
To start, are you using the BuddyPress Default theme?
WordPress plugin pages usually show the compatibility version as set by the plugin author.
Recent date can be viewed by clicking on the “Development log” link on the plugin page’s right sidebar.
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress (view the right hand sidebar for the link)
For status updates, you’ll have to either:
– post on the plugin’s support forum
– find the author’s website / Twitter account and ping that person.
For plugin compatibility, check out this codex page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ (this might need to be updated)
To update this thread, basic profile privacy is currently being worked on:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695
It will most likely be a plugin before it is included within the main BuddyPress core code.
Timetable for release (if I were to guess) would be late this year / early next year.
Activity is wide open even without friends out of the box.
Example can be found on testbp.org:
http://testbp.org/activity
To disable the friends component, login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “BuddyPress > Components”, uncheck “Friend Connections” and save.
Then navigate to the sitewide activity stream, which by default is located at:
hxxp://example.com/activity.
If this is not what you had in mind, please elaborate!
Hi, to make sure you have setup your forums properly, please try following the steps listed under “Set up a new bbPress installation”:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#forums-setup
Then follow the steps to create a new group forum under “Enable Forum for each Group” at the link above.
After you have done that, try making a post in a group forum.
I replied to your post on testbp.org:
http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248/forum/topic/can-you-post-a-chart-or-video
Just post the link in question (like a YouTube video) on its own line.
If you are using some forum plugin like a WYSIWYG editor, that might intefere with it.
Something like that being worked on by @r-a-y I recall.
1. Make Twenty Eleven compatible with BuddyPress https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/
2. In many cases, WP plugins work with BuddyPress.
Before installing it into your active/busy WP site, I recommend ichecking out BP in a test install preferably with the same server environment as your current WP install. e.g. in a physical subdomain in same server.
@henrybcn Thanks for the bug report!
Thanks for responding @mercime. I found the cause. I reported a bug on Trac (3747).
When Front page = a Static BuddyPress page (eg, Activity), the previews do not work, nor do ugly links inside pages test page
When front page = Static Page (= a not BP Page), the previews work correctly, and also the ugly links inside pages test page
When I select Front Page = Forums, I get a “This webpage has a redirect loop” error.
I tested this on my installation, after deactivating all plugins and the default theme. I checked .htaccess, and it is correct.
I reproduced this on a new WP 3.2.1. install, with BP 1.5.1. , on a separate domain.
A lot of the repo themes are outdated. It’s ridiculous that they screen themes heavily when they are submitted to the repo but are then forgotten and never tested on newer versions of wp or bp. The theme review system at WordPress.org is completely flawed.
Yes, it’s built into BP. Just type the person’s @loginname into your wall post and it will link to their profile.
Wordpress.org theme previews don’t work for BuddyPress themes, because wordpress.org doesn’t have BuddyPress installed. I think there’s very little chance of this situation changing. I’ll contact the company who runs WordPress.org (Automattic) and pass the feedback on.
Regarding plugins appearing out of date; the BuddyPress core team has no involvement or responsibility for the vast majority of those plugins. If someone decides to stop contributing to a plugin, then it will eventually break and stop working, unless someone contacts the original author and they agree to take ownership of it.
It’s also worth noting some plugins may work fine with the current version of BuddyPress, and the author just hasn’t bothered with a release to update the “tested up to” version number.
Yes, I totally removed the BuddyPress. I already followed given instructions to remove BuddyPress. Is there some other tables or database entries expect wp_bp_ tables?
Use BP Redirect to Profile for Buddypress plugin to redirect users to their profile page after login.
I would place mo and po in wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/languages folder
I’ve been trying to send a message to @Travel-Junkie but the BP site won’t let me, so here goes – @Travel-Junkie mentioned he was going to make a custom mod/hack to S2Member to get it to protect groups – did you ever get that to work? I had S2Member working with a bit of code in my functions.php file and it was AWESOME, till the BP 1.5 upgrade, and now it doesn’t work. I think they’re tired of me too, because although the customer support has heretofore been very VERY good, they finally just told me it was a custom hack and S2Member wasn’t designed for groups or group protection. Bleh. I must say that also there are some other functions that aren’t working as of late and the help has been a bit overtaxed, probably because of the overall generally good quality of the plugin. But I wouldn’t really recommend it at this time for specifically protecting BP groups, just since I haven’t been able to get a solution to what WAS working from either the folks at S2Member *or* the Buddypress.org forums. I finally resorted to posting a request for a custom PAID job to fix this, it’s maddening. S2Member doesn’t currently protect my groups, doesn’t populate the correct end date in subscriptions, so really, all it’s doing is redirecting users to a different URL if they’re not logged in.
The help forum has been pretty overwhelmed the last couple of days, I’ve been checking daily trying to solve my own issues 
If you’re using a WP theme, you need to make it compatible with BuddyPress by installing, activating and going through the compatibility process via the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. If this is the route you took, double-check in server that the register folder with 2 files within was transferred into your WP theme folder wp-content/themes/yourWPtheme/register
If you’re using the bp-default theme or a child theme of the bp-default theme, then double-check that the register folder with two files within is present in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/register
== However, in the step 3 of the compatibility process it only listed 11 files to change. ==
True, but the BP Template Pack plugin will be updated to list 16 files which need to be changed per link above https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles
== There are still some outstanding formatting issues. ==
True. I have updated code above in two areas above which I have placed [Updated …] info.
1. hentry-content should be entry-content
2. whole block of what to be replaced in bottom of registration/register.php
I have to ask whether you changed style in bp.css of the BP Template Pack plugin because the `div#item-header-content` is missing the `margin-left: 170px; ` and you need to bring that back.
In addition, you need to tweak some styles in your WP theme’s style.css file. Check out the additional tweaks on the BP components divs as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
I tried a plugin in the wordpress directory called buddypress ananlytics but it is broken i.e not supportable with buddypress 1.5.1 . Does anyone know any another plugin which is supportable with buddypress 1.5.1
Try putting an @ sign in front of their user name ie @junglejinge
