@mercime – thanks for replying. I’ve just asked in Slack in Formidable and they have said that Formidable works with the WordPress user tables. So should BuddyPress not just find those fields?
I’m assuming Buddypress works this way too?
Trying to get my head around exactly how both work so my apologies for the ignorance.
Thanks for your time 🙂
Hello guys,
I’m using the latest WP and Buddypress version for a new site. During testing we’ve encountered some problems:
1. Cannot crop and upload avatars.
2. Cannot upload images => it’s throwing http error.
I’ve never seen this kind of problem before on other (older) buddypress and wordpress installs. We’re still using the same server.
I did some search and some saying it’s a GD-library problem that’s not installed (?).
What exactly is the problem and how can we fix this?
Thank you for your time.
Hello,
I am getting problem with “Load more” in my Buddypress activity stream.
When I click the “Load More” on the buddypress activity it loads more but does not refresh it. I want to make it “loads more” and refreshes at the same time after the load more is clicked on user activity stream.
The raison I want that is I am using MathJax to render mathematical symbols ans equations and it needs the page to be refreshed before redering them.
Please help me, I begg you. I need really that and I tried solving it myself several days but nothing.
Wordpress version: 5.4.1
Buddypress version : 5.2.0
OK,
I don’t want bbpress forum replies to show up on Buddypress activity stream. I have researched this problem for days and cannot find a solution. I have tried 3 different plugins and they do not work anymore. I have come across this question multiple times but no one seems to give a clear answer. This question has gone back a least 9 years. I find it hard that Buddypress or bbpress has not found a solution to this problem. Please help!!!
@kingfisher64 Not sure if that plugin has integration with BuddyPress. Since that is a paid plugin, you should be able to ask at the plugin’s forums whether it is compatible with BuddyPres. If so, how to go about the integration with BP registration. Good luck!
Hello,
I was wondering if it’s possible to get the fields that formidable forms create as part of their user registration plugin to map to BuddyPress?
Formidable lets the user create several different user registrations so one could be for business with one set of fields another set (with some common denominators).
I’ve tried adding custom fields but did not see the formidable fields.
Many thanks for any advice received your time is appreciated.
@cmsplay Glad it worked out for you 😀
Re font size smaller, just add the following just under themargin-bottom: 24px; :
font-size: 12px; // or whatever size you want
In general, the key difference is the focused discussion and engagement found using Group Forums with the bbPress forums. Just like you see here in our support forums. The good thing is that bbPress plugin has the same lead developer and you can be assured of the seamless integration between BuddyPress and bbPress.
BuddyPress Sitewide/Group Activity streams are automatically generated content on all actions happening sitewide/group like a new member joining the group, member status updates, new forum topics (if bbPress is activated) etc. See https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/activity-streams/ So while you can , favorite, delete, or comment on each generated activity update, you can see it’s miles different from having a forum in your site.
I hope that helps you and good luck on your BuddyPress community!
Maybe this plugin could help you
BuddyPress Global Search
mercime thank you so! much. IT WORKED! :-))
Just need to find a way to make the font size in activity posts one size smaller though.
Not really sure what the difference between BuddyPress Groups with Activity boards and bbPress – from what I’ve read they both seem to be methods to do the same thing and BP Groups uses bbPress for its own fora. Is there a key difference folks?
Thanks again mercime.
Hello, I have some difficulties with the look of my Buddypress profile. Maybe it’s due to my theme Unyson. How is it possible to customize the profile page without coding or is there some themes that I could apply ?
I have got this error when I was installing BuddyPress in my site daredevilgaming.com but somehow I figured out it by reinstalling the plugin. So try it once
Thank you @vapvarun but it doesn’t work for me. I’ve installed the plugin, checked the sync option in Buddypress and edit the fields with sync of First and Last name.
My profile still doesn’t show the first and last name.
Hi, I’m very new to BuddyPress and I have one question that could looks obvious. After installing the profile doesn’t show the WP profile fields as First Name and Last Name. As I have users that already have filled that fields, how can I show it in the profile ?
Hi, I have a WP site with users already registered in. After installing BuddyPress I can only access to the user created with BuddyPress. How can I link BuddyPress to my WP users that was created before the installation of BuddyPress ?
Hello!
I have created a plugin that moves the user email preferences to the woocommerce ‘my account’ menu. Everything looks great, but when I select options between the “yes/no” and then click save, nothing changes/nothing is saved?
Perhaps I’m missing something? Could anyone shed some light on which file remembers and stores the selection after hitting submit?
The form in question can be located here:
buddypress/members/single/settings/notifications.php
Thanks!

Use this hook which is available right after they join.
do_action( 'groups_join_group', $group_id, $user_id );
Try this in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php:
function schene_promote_group_member( $group_id, $user_id ) {
$group_member = new BP_Groups_Member( $user_id, $group_id );
$group_member->promote( 'admin' );
}
add_action( 'groups_join_group', 'schene_promote_group_member', 10, 2 );
@izzethan You can disable the admin toolbar for anyone who is not logged in simply by going to Settings > BuddyPress > Options tab, then make sure that “Toolbar – Show the Toolbar for logged out users” is not checked.
Ok, I’ve found out: BuddyPress is not a forum – my mistake, I’m sorry.
Additional I’ve found out, there is something wrong in my wp_options table, which does not show the content of the BuddyPress pages to me.
So right now, for me is my problem solved. Thank you for your help!
Here is the solution for forcing BP uploads form every MULTIBLOG-enable network sites to be stored on (and fetched from) the main site : https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6931#comment:1
To put it simple, simply create a file wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php and paste in the code from this gist: https://gist.github.com/imath/91d56292673e6de61597
The code speaks for itself.
@sandaap
Try to map your pages with setting >> BuddyPress >> Pages
For topics and forums install bbPress.
Ok, I installed a fresh WordPress file system with a fresh database. Just install and activate BuddyPress, no other changes. Right now, I see content on the default pages of PB.
But I still don’t understand, where or how I can create topics…
I haven’t figured out for profile header image yet, but you will find solutions for centralizing avatar storage on MULTIBLOG-enabled BP networks here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/multiblogmultisite-avatar-missing/
Basically, if you want to use avatars from the main site, you can just add this to your wp-config.php:
define( 'BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/wp-content/uploads' ); define( 'BP_AVATAR_URL', '//'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/wp-content/uploads' );
If you want to use avatars from another site, you will likely need to add the site’s upload path (eg. ‘/sites/2’) to both paths.
