Good to know that your problem is solved using paid plugin but If someone faces same problem it’s easy to solve.

If you didn’t know buddypress has list of shortcodes for almost everything. Find it here – https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

For Account pages below shortcodes will be handy. You just need to create new pages and paste [shortcode] in your pages.

[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] – Display the lost password screen.

to set dynamic login pages follow below.

1) From your admin dashboard goto settings > Buddypress.

2) look for tab named Pages.

3) Select your register and activate pages.

@sydlyisaacs Youzer plugin will do the same but it gives you simpler interface to manage your pages.

Did you try deleting those shortcodes from those pages?
Did you assign the Register page to BuddyPress?
Please read this…

BP does not handle a login page.
There are many free WordPress plugins that handle customizing login screens.

Hi,

Please check this: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/6664/how-to-auto-accept-a-friend-request-in-buddypress-based-on-user-meta

Please remove the condition of is_user_expert and check after that. You should try this on the dev/staging version of your site and if it works for you then you can use it on your live site.

For members addition in a group automatically, please check this one https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-new-members-to-groups-automatically/

Hope it will help you.

Nicename is not a BuddyPress field.
It is a field in the WP users table.
You need to use a WP function like:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata

In wp-admin, go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and assign a page to Register.
If you need to, create a blank page with the title ‘Register’.

i have a spam problem in my forums section and Wordfence, which i have installed, suggested my problem maybe this. their words:
“You will need to ask the BuddyPress plugin authors for current best recommendations if they are recommending very outdated information on their support page to prevent spam registrations.”
is this true and if so what is the solution? how do i stop this spam?
​

heavily requested features by BuddyPress users was the ability to add Repeater Fields or Repeater groups of fields dynamically to BuddyPress Profile, without having a predefined number

Hi,

@imath I have this version of Buddypress installed and I keep getting this error message. “There was a problem cropping the group profile photo” when I try cropping/uploading group avatar image. Please help. Thanks

Hey Thomei,
I found this article super-helpful to make the BuddyPress Display Name the same as the user’s username when they register: https://buddydev.com/buddypress-better-registration-part-1-remove-full-name-confirm-password-from-buddypress-registration/

It doesn’t solve all the problems you mentioned, but can make the registration process much cleaner, as it only asks for one username on sign up.

Hope it helps,
Sam

The error should indicate the file that made the call to bp_loggedinuser_link()
bp_loggedinuser_link() is deprecated.

The proper function is bp_loggedin_user_link()

bp_loggedinuser_link

Completely agree with your post. It’s 2020 now, and there should be the functionality to at least make the display name optional. In searching the annals for answers, I see questions going back to 2013 asking for this because users were getting confused with usernames / display names. It would be great to have something like Reddit, where just a username / email is required. Despite this frustration, massive thanks to those working on BuddyPress.

This works, in wp-config.php or bp-custom.php,
define( 'BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION', 'forum' );
