@mercime I just finished pluging in the code for a user profile page and I am having the same issue the link to main menu was not automatically created. I have been reading the post for the next steps and I am not sure what to do from here. Could you please explain how to get the profile page to link to main menu items. I am using bp community theme.
@modemlooper
i figure out that its the page caching in w3 total cache thats causing the login issue but Im still not seeing the bp share it icons.
Hey there. I just figured out what was causing this. I had activated bbpress after installing group forums in Buddypress when this started. I deactivated bbpress and the request for an activation code went away.
The ones that don’t have an image are they using gravatar to get the image or uploading? Do you get the same issue when you use BuddyPress default theme or are you using that already?
@modemlooper good idea, thanx
Evening,
I have installed buddypress today, I really love the functionality.
Since the installation all the profiles with out an uploaded avatar’s are showing up as broken links, if I change the avatar to blank it does appear blank. But if I change it to any of the images e.g. mystery man it shows a broken link.
I am able to successfully upload an image as an avatar in Buddypress and it does appear, but for the 90% that do not have image my only choice is blank or a broken link.
Has anybody had this problem before or can anybody help me?
I been having a lot of issues with the login and activity stream due to caching. @modemlooper suggested not to cache the activity feed because its too dynamic. my homepage is the activity page. using w3tc>page cache, it has a section “never cache the following pages. would i put the acitivty-loop.php in there?
There are two things I would like to know how to do in BuddyPress:
First I would like to have steps in my registration.
Second I would like to know how to add field on profile of a single user by admin or make field that can only be edited by admin.
Thanks @solid_snake for putting me on the right track. As the maxlength attribute is html5 only and doesn’t work in IE and Opera, I went looking for other solutions. I found a javascript solution with a counter that works well after some tweaking:
http://inmyexperience.com/2003/02/setting-a-maxlength-on-a-texta.html
Changed the javascript a bit to:
function textCounter( field, countfield, maxlimit ) {
if ( field.value.length > maxlimit )
{
field.value = field.value.substring( 0, maxlimit );
alert( ‘You reached the maximum of ‘+maxlimit+’ characters.’ );
return false;
}
else
{
countfield.value = maxlimit – field.value.length;
}
}
In the html I changed the keypress event to a keyup event:
onkeyup="textCounter(this,this.form.counter,1000);"
Works in all browsers.
Found the answer, was looking at the wrong place.
Not sure if this is the way to go but to get the permalink of the activity use:
`bp_activity_get_permalink`
So I used a variable then echo the variable in the comment link like this:
`activity->id, $activities_template->activity ) ?>
<a href="” class=”button acomment-reply bp-primary-action” id=”acomment-comment-“><?php printf( __( 'Comment %s‘, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_activity_get_comment_count() ); ?>`
UPDATE:
Use “
Thanks,
You could have different layouts/colors for different sections/pages of your site within one theme already.
You could create a Twenty Eleven child theme, then install/activate BP template pack plugin and go through the Appearance > BP Compatibility process. The cool thing is that you create a header-buddypress.php (with link to own stylesheet) and a footer-buddypress.php, both with the same structure as the BP Default theme and basically you’re good to go. The two new files would cover all the BP templates transferred to your Twenty Eleven child theme.
That worked flawlessly! Thanks so much @mercime!
Spence,
OK this looks very helpful … What about on the domain side… How should we setup the CNAME, A, MX records based on the server setup we have above ?
Thank you.
Use google and add site:buddypress.org to search param

Hello,
For two days I’ve been searching for a solution but can’t get it done. I really need for my network Name, Middle Name and Last name and now there are many ppl with the same Name and I can’t find a way to combine all the profile fields so I can display the full name site wide. I tried to write a code but programming
= me. I’m sure a developer can write a snippet to put in in functions.php and I would really appreciate it if someone can help with this issue.
I’m using the latest version of Buddypress and WordPress.
Kind regards
How do you set a blog as ‘private’ in a multisite / Buddypress setup?
@juanmaguerrero, using groups for content, I need different plugin.
I am using bbPress and buddypress on my multisite install which is causing a small problem.
When I am on a sub-domain site using bbPress and I click on my profile tab, this takes me back to the primary website buddypress profile panel.
This panel shows me as having no topics created even though I have hundreds of topics created on the sub-domain that I was coming from.
How do I add my topics and replies list from the sub-domain site to my profile?
Same goes for favorites and subscribed threads.
Because buddypress is taking control over my user profile page when clicking a link in the forums, I completely loose my ability to manage my topics and replies and favorites and subscrptions.
*Solution?
1.
If I click my profile link from a forum page, do not take me to the buddypress profile page, but rather let me see my normal bbpress profile page.
2.
aggregate all of my topics, replies, favorites, and subscriptions within my buddypress profile page.
Either one is fine with me, I just need one of the solutions to work. As it is now, nothing works.
How about this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restrict-usernames/
It looks like something that might possibly work for your problem, and would disallow the use of spaces in the username since I believe it’s all handled on the WordPress side of things for BuddyPress anyhow concerning registrations and so forth…
