@robproce BuddyPress is compatible with the bbPress plugin for Sitewide and/or Group forums
Installing Group and Sitewide Forums
>>does BuddyPress or 3rd parties design additional plugins as such that can be successfully attached to this theme
Hi @balanz,
The best place to ask is at the premium theme’s forums as we do not have access to the paid theme. Based on what you need, looks more like you need to code a custom plugin that is compatible with both BuddyPress and your premium theme, or hire a developer to do so.
I think BuddyPress just uses the standard WP login page so https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form has info on customising or even replacing the page.
On one of my sites I created a completely new page following this guide, https://themetrust.com/build-custom-wordpress-login-page/
It should be simple enough to create a custom page that disables the login button unless the checkbox is selected.
Hello
Wordpress 5.4 & Buddypress 5.1.2 installed on a subdomain.
I am setting up a community site with Buddypress.
It looks nice but I am not yet able to set it the way I would like it 🙁
I don’t know if it’s possible, but how can I set up a new group so that:
1) Members can respond directly to it
2) That response is therefore visible under that particular group
3) Other drawers can also respond to this
4) If a member other than that group opens or joins it, sees all those reactions and can possibly participate in the discussion?
5) That the whole discussion stays under that group and becomes visible as soon as someone opens that group?
Now when I open a group I don’t see an opportunity to post a comment anywhere as a member.
Hi Lars,
Thank you for confirming.
Please visit Dashboard->settings->BuddyPress and click on “Options”. Under options, you will see activity section.
There is an option to disable akismet there as shown below(Please uncheck it to disable).

Please give it a try and let me know if that works for you or not?

They said me that they already had this kind of problem with your plugin and that the problem was at BuddyPress level.
Hi @vapvarun first thanks for your reply.
Plugin you suggest is able to add terms and conditions checkbox to the registration page (SIGNUP), but is not able to add terms and conditions checkbox neither to http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php? (SIGNIN) nor to BUDDYPRESS LOGIN WIDGET.
Has you know signup is different than signin… I am sure you have read my post fastly and you dont detected this “litlle / big” difference…
Waiting reply of @imath if you have something more to add you are welcome 🙂
Thanks for your support.
Another lock-down option is: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-simple-private/
However, if you just need some private pages & categories, then you don’t need BuddyPress at all unless there is some interface aspect that requires profiles.
If you aren’t using profiles, then there are probably some WP plugins that do what you want.
Or, the custom WP code to accomplish is quite simple – if you are a WP dev.
@giuseppecuttone for signup page you will have to use
bp_signup_validate
bp_before_registration_submit_buttons
You can try this, seems still working
BuddyPress Simple Terms And Conditions
@honoluluman not sure any existing plugin is used that approach to send default WP email using BuddyPress Email options.
It can be customized you will have to display default wp emails for signup and forgot password and register them again, for reference, you can check https://github.com/robertstaddon/buddypress-welcome-email.
Hi @imath is always beautifull know a major release of buddypress 🙂
So first, thanks for very big work done by developers 🙂
In the last version of buddypress I have detected the follow “error” in BUDDYPRESS LOGIN WIDGET:
If I add in http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php? some checkboxes about TERMS OF USE, PRIVACY, I AGREE SENT COMERCIAL INFORMATION, and any other checkbox need to acomplish with DATA PROTECTION LEGISLATION, the checkboxes I add will be showed in http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php? but they will not be showed in the BUDDYPRESS LOGIN WIDGET.
I think buddypress should to add some hook to make it. I am righy? Or I am wrong?
Can you resolve this problem in new release?
Follow I also add a thread I have opened right now. Maybe you can help me to resolve now this stupid error instead to wait next release (considerate that maybe in next release it will not be resolved…).
How to show TERMS AND CONTIDIONS checkboxes in BuddyPress LogIn widget
Please, let me know how can I resolve it. Please provide some solution about that.
Thanks very very very much for your support.
Hi,
if I add in http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php? some checkboxes about TERMS OF USE, PRIVACY, I AGREE SENT COMERCIAL INFORMATION, and any other checkbox needed to acomplish with DATA PROTECTION LEGISLATION, the checkboxes I add will be showed well in http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php? but they will not be showed in the BUDDYPRESS LOGIN WIDGET.
Code I am using is the follow:
<?php
// As part of WP authentication process, call our function
add_filter('wp_authenticate_user', 'wp_authenticate_user_acc', 99999, 2);
function wp_authenticate_user_acc($user, $password) {
// See if the checkbox #login_accept was checked
if ( isset( $_REQUEST['login_accept'] ) && $_REQUEST['login_accept'] == 'on' ) {
// Checkbox on, allow login
return $user;
} else {
// Did NOT check the box, do not allow login
$error = new WP_Error();
$error->add('did_not_accept', 'You must accept the terms and conditions' );
return $error;
}
}
// As part of WP login form construction, call our function
add_filter ( 'login_form', 'login_form_acc' );
function login_form_acc(){
// Add an element to the login form, which must be checked
echo '<label><input type="checkbox" name="login_accept" id="login_accept" /> I agree</label>';
}
?>
Can someone make the correspondent modification to this code to have this feature running also into BuddyPress LogIn widget?
Thanks very very very very very very for your support.

BuddyPress in Your Language
Same problem here. And I note that the buddyboss “auto join” plugin has also been dropped by devs due to knew buddypress version (although you can still download it…)
Thank you for your reply! I’m apprehensive to use plugins that have been abandoned by their developers (Sitewide Newsletters). I’m going to try out this plugin WP INBOX plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-inbox & if it works for us then upgrade to the paid version.
It doesn’t allow us to email our BuddyPress groups, but it will allow us to contact our members & various User Roles which will be helpful.
If you are still look, I do have a plug-in reference that seem to be working.
site all update to 5.4 and latest BuddyPress so appears to work even though old.
just message me if still need. I have successful removed all links in customer profile fields.
I recently installed Buddypress and Youzer. But unable to login after resetting password even many times.

I’m not an expert, but the only way I’ve found potentially to do this is via separate plugins, e.g.:
BuddyPress Group Email Subscription
Sitewide Newsletters
Hi, I can see that the page is only reloading when I try to create an account now.
Unfortunately with all the plugins you are running it is likely one that is interfering with the buddypress registration. Can you test with only BuddyPress enabled then work through re-enabling until the problem happens again, once you work out which other plugin is interfering they may be able to help.
Hiya, I’m looking for a way to selectively email different BuddyPress groups from within WordPress. We’d ideally like to email our members based on similar profile fields if possible. What’s the best way to set this up?
I’ve enabled BuddyPress now, please try.
I’m not one to normally ask for help as I’ve figured out ways to do quite a few things but I just need some conceptual help from people smarter than I.
I have a buddypress instance where someone performs an action on my website (using strava as an example, imagine it’s them logging a workout) and it creates A) a database entry in my own database and B) an activity in the BP world (and database of course).
I am looking to add the ability to tag another user in this activity, and then the other user would then verify (yes/no) and if yes, then it creates the activity in the BP world and in my database.
I have so far been able to add mentions to my custom form (without a problem, what an easy system!) but I’m stuck conceptually how to continue.
Should I create a duplicate activity with the tagged user’s ID? Will that lead to them getting a notification? Is there a way for them to approve or decline the notification that is already in existence or will I have to build something for that?
Just looking for the most “BuddyPress-ic” way to attack this problem and was hoping I could use your insight.
Thanks in advance!
problem ‘solved’ by deactivating SuitePlugins – Advanced XProfile Fields for BuddyPress
Hello everyone. I’m wondering if you can help with a small query.
I’ve installed BuddyPress on my site and have created a profile field called ‘Job Title’ that users have to fill out when they register (along with name, email etc.). Is there a way to customise the comments section of a regular blog post so that this profile field (Job Title) is shown along with the user’s name?
For example, right now when a user comments on a blog post, only their name is shown. But what I’d like is for their name and Job Title to be shown.
Thanks in advance for the help!
