You’ll need to do something like identify the field in question i.e a check to see if that field is being displayed in the edit loop and then wrap it in a user capability check for admin only, but you’ll need a little php knowledge to do this.
Hi,
I have searched the forums but have not foudn what I am looking for. How can I change one of the xtended profile field to be read-only for the user but write for admin?
Thanks
Tom
Thank you @mercime !!! You are really great! 
== I want to all member only active in one (main) forum. ==
Then deactivate the Group Forums. Go to dashboard Settings > BuddyPress > Components and uncheck Discussion Forums. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#settings-buddypress-components
1. Sure. If you want the complaints to be private, just set up a contact form. If you want complaints to be public or semi-private set up Group and/or Sitewide forums.
2. You need the Domain Mapping plugin. Then you need either:
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ OR
– http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-multi-network-plugin-create-multiple-separate-social-networks-on-a-single-buddypress-install/
You’d have to ask plugin devs whether either or both are compatible with Domain Mapping plugin though I haven’t heard issues with either so far.
3. In either multinetwork plugins above, there are ways and means to do what you need – some coding required.
4. Yes, using either of the multinetwork plugin above, you do keep those components separate.
5. Yes, I posted both in #2
6. No, the networks do not have to use the same theme at all.
7. No limit to number of networks. One can only be limited by server and coding skills.
Hi,
I have noticed that all members who signed up on my page the last 3 days get the default avatar “Mystery Man” from http://i0.wp.com/www.pagename.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg and not from http://www.pagename.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg. I use a different “Mystery Man” which I uploaded for my page, but new members receive the default avatar image from this i0.wp.com
I don’t want that i0.wp.com tracks my page for images and I don’t want that BuddyPress receives images from there how can I disable this?
Hi
WP 3.4.2, BP 1.6.1
I imported 20 users using AMU
I assigned them to a group using BP Group Management
They are listed as group members at http://www.site.org/user-groups/group-name in order of last activity.
Problem 1: recent additions display as username rather than display name; older members are showing as display name.
Problem 2: clicking on name for new members does not show member profile information.
When logged in as one of the new users:
Obviously these users have not been sent an activation email; however I was able to log in as one of the new users.
BuddyPress default theme and all plugins except BP disabled – same result.
Thanks for any suggestions. And if I need to activate these users: how do I do that?
Thanks
@mercime Great. Thank you for the explanation.
I think the Forum menu in buddypress display archieve of forum post from a member.
Is it possible to remove this menu since I don’t allow group have its own forum. I want to all member only active in one (main) forum.
And… how to remove bbPress Forum menu in the member’s dashboar?
I appreciate you helping me.
My apologies:
Header and Footer are included in above post.

Looks like part of the akismet integration:
http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/buddypress/nav.html?_functions/index.html
I’d say from tracing through that functions list it’s needed and should exist.
Off the top of my head I’d say make sure you’ve not got any rewrite rules in your .htaccess, no plugin is interfering and you’ve re saved your BuddyPress pages to be linked up.
Hello,
I just installed buddypress with an existing theme. I had to do a little css magic, but it’s looking and working pretty well. I have one strange problem and I’ve searched all over with no luck.
I’m running a members site with Digital Access Pass and the DAP login automatically syncs with WP. This in turn syncs with buddypress and it auto logs on the user. When a user registers for my site through DAP they are also registered with WP and they are able to join BP groups and post in the forums…so it seems that buddy press is accepting these new users without a separate activation through BP. The problem is that if you click on the user’s profile it gets the “page not found” error. The permalinks are cool and the member’s profile is at http://www.site.com/members/username/ which I believe is correct. To make it more complicated, the admin account actually works and the profile is visible and editable.
When I searched for this topic I found many posts about multi-site issues, but I’m not on a multi-site installation. Also, In WP I have “anyone can register” checked and the default role is a subscriber.
Am I doing something wrong here?
I’m really enjoying what I’ve seen in BP and I hope to get it going soon…Thanks in advance for your help…
if there is a conflict contact the respective plugin creators:
http://rtcamp.com/support/forum/buddypress-media/
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/
please use the correct forum to receive the fastest response
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields
Any field you add on the first group (as seen above) will show up in registration page. If you “Add a New Profile Field Group”, any field you add in this new group will not be shown in registration but in member’s profile page after logging in.
Hi. I’m a newbie to Buddypress. I’m trying to create a page where users create a profile. I can’t seem to find any information about it. Registration page works. I’m not sure where to go? Is there a plugin that that allows you to create more fields? Checkboxes? Thanks
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/simpolio/
D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste to your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust to taste.
@nstjwz Based on the structure of your theme, you need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your simpolio theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
@wizza
– URL of theme demo as there’s more than one sports magazine theme
– Do post the codes for the header.php, footer.php and index.php files as well
@pilarmontesluna Bien hecho. Gracias por sus comentarios 
@ juanlopez4691
Have you found any other solution or plugin dealing with this issue?
Can you share your network or websites’ url?
I am also looking for similar answers?
Thanks.
hello
does anybodey have a clue if how to remove the auto redirect to registration page?
i want bp use the regular wordpress registration page (wp-login.php?action=register).
btw, the reason i am doing it is because i am using facebook connect + BuddyPress Facebook Connect, and i cant get to the register page, so if you’re having some other ideas, i’ll be happy to know.
thanks you guys.
@mercime I agree with you, and I prefer wide space too.
@nstjwz option available for all BP templates – wide space http://easysite.by/simpolio/pages/about-us/ or one with sidebar http://easysite.by/simpolio/blog/ I’d go wide space since you’d need it for most of the BP components. Or you want the one with sidebar?
