I am working on some custom code to add a FB style list of users to activity items that have been favourited. All is working well except I cannot seem to change a logged in user’s link items to “You” instead of the display name.
Is there a way to filter the Logged In User link generated by BP to show all links to the logged in account as YOU instead of the user’s display name?
I think it would make the experience much more personal

Closing topic.
Hi again. I am having a problem with my BP installation. When attempting to update profile/group status or try to mention another user I get the following message:
“FATAL ERROR: CALL TO UNDEFINED FUNCTION VT_RESIZE() IN /HSPHERE/LOCAL/HOME/PHOTONHUNTER/CANARIAS2NITE.COM/WP-CONTENT/THEMES/PARALLELUS-MINGLE/FRAMEWORK/THEME-FUNCTIONS/BUDDYPRESS.PHP ON LINE 102?
I believe “PHOTONHUNTER” makes reference to my database or database user…
The updates and mentions happen correctly, but members still get this message every time they try to update/mention… I´ll appreciate help on this one.
Thanks in advance,
Erik.
When I upgraded a site to buddypress all the pages work with the exception of the member and group pages. I keep getting a redirect error and cannot figure out why. I have updated wp to 3.4.2 changed the permalinks double checked the .htaccess file and even updated the database. Still no closer to figuring this out. I know I am missing something. Can anyone help?
I have a site that is using BuddyPress, and the site wants to have everyone upload their own avatar. Is there a way to require the user to upload an avatar? Right now, we just have a bunch of users that have blank avatars.
Thanks in advance!
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/risen/
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.
@twc01 Based on the structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your risen theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your risen 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
`
`
with the following:
`
<div id="content-inner" class=”has-sidebar”>
<article id="post-” >
`
Note: If “ does not work here, then change it to “ or ask theme author. You can refer him to this post.
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
// Titles Of Respective BP Page Templates //
` and move this page title to above `
Hi,
Having a problem with the Post Update text area. When clicking to post a status update in BuddyPress, after the text posts, it does not clear the text box. Any idea on what can be causing this? I am getting several errors in the chrome dev console, one of them looks troublesome. ”
ReferenceError: BP_DTheme is not defined
http://www.liveballers.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress//bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js?ver=3.4.1
Line 117
”
Currently using WP 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.6
Hope to hear from you! Thanks!

Notes:
1. Not sure if the Woo breadcrumbs will work in the inside pages of the BP components.
2. If there’s error/s shown on screen after you upload the changes, remove the following from the top of the file:
“
and the error persists, remove the breadcrumb as well

In fiddling around with buddypress for some time now through reading bits of documentation and purveying various themes and plugins, I’m beginning to see that although buddypress supports unique page design, its user-interface definitely biases towards a uniform theme that pervades the whole site. I see that individual page layouts/content can be edited better through some plugins and template design, but in order to do so, it requires not only that you know a little bit of coding yourself but ALSO that you’re working within the wordpress CMS framework.
For someone who wants a lot of control on his site, this begins to seem a daunting task to really get things the way I want. In fact, it almost seems I would be better hard-coding my own html layouts and cms styles from scratch and then inserting the necessary php-work without using any CMS. At least what I would be learning would be the actual logic/coding of the sites mechanics, and not such PLUS the wordpress/buddypress mechanics.
But what do you think– does it sound as if I should bite the bullet and learn buddypress, or bite the other bullet and learn much more hard-coding to design without a CMS (although that would obviously take much much longer)?
So this was dumb. The issues was because of a trailing slash after `activate`
Compare:
`example.com/activate/?key=d2373a345c3bbf9a62dd475e61cfbff9`
`example.com/activate?key=d2373a345c3bbf9a62dd475e61cfbff9`
Seems that WP assumes apache and creates .htaccess that our nginx ingnores.
Thanks for your help @davidtcarson

@mercime I hope this is what you were asking for, please let me know if i can provide you anything else that might help. Thank you so much for even taking time to see if this is possible!!! I know that coding isn’t a walk in the park and I couldn’t be more thankful for your time!
Hi all. I have correctly set up my Buddypress installation to run in Spanish. everything is working ok after uploading the .po translated files, but for some reason, a few of the notification emails are still being sent in English no matter what. I don´t want to modify the code “by hand” because I intend to have an english version of my site in brief, so I don´t want to give up the localization capability.
The following notifications are running Ok in SPANISH:
-Mentions notifications
-Friendship requests and accepted request notifications.
-Group Invitation notifications
The notifications that refuse to translate to spanish and are still sent in english are:
-The initial account activation email with the activation link.
-Private message notifications
I just don´t understand why some elements are wroking ok and some aren´t… I would much appreciate any help regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance for all the kind replies.
Best,
Erik.-
@helllllpmeplease Cool. And you’re welcome. Live long and prosper 
== we would like to redirect BP member pages to the new URLs without deleting the profile ==
Basically, go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages – Members > choose page “People, Teachers, Guest, Lectures, Students” and Save. Then in Appearance > Menu, you can create a new menu item named Members and add the URL to the page “People. ….. Students”
Edit – modemlooper didn’t see your post, I took too long to answer 
@katiem looks like you’ve already changed it on your own, congratulations 
@guitaragora yes, that’s a nice theme on the front end. I may be wrong, but I’ve heard that web2feel themes have base64 encodes and that would not be kosher to use. Just in case I’m wrong, we could start step 3 of the BP compatibility process, please open up wallbase’s header.php file, copy all content, paste in pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URL here. Do the same for wallbase’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php, footer.php and the template for the full-width page.
Hello,
I have created a buddypress site: http://www.calvinpert.name/
and would like to switch the facebook icon out with an image I created.
Where in the code do I find the place where it is being called?
Thanks.
I would also love to know if anyone has figured out how to do this. Seems odd that this feature isn’t standard in BuddyPress.
@mercime – I don’t know who you are…or where you are in the world…but you are my hero! Thank you so much for your patience, advice and fixes! It’s all working perfectly now, and I’ll do my best not to change a thing so it stays that way. Keep on kickin’ butt. You rock!!!

Hi guys, I hope this is the right forum. We are running WP and BP in a portal for students of a Master in interaction design: maind.supsi.ch.
Since we designed our own members page at http://www.maind.supsi.ch/people-teachers-guest-lecturers-students/, we would like to redirect BP member pages to the new URLs without deleting the profiles. I’ve tried a few htaccess tricks with no result. Can someone help me?
Thanks! 
Cheers from Lugano.
Hi everyone,
I’m running WordPress version 3.4 (haven’t upgraded to 3.4.2, yet.)
WordPress is installed in the root of my domain
BuddyPress version 1.6.1
bbPress version 2.1.2
My theme is a child of BP-Default
First, I should start by letting you know that I’m definitely a newbie! What I’m trying to do should be relatively simple, I think. I’ve searched and searched, but haven’t been able to find an answer to my question.
I have a WordPress/BuddyPress site that is mostly private. I’m using Role Scoper to limit access to certain portions of the site, and that’s working out okay. I’m also using BuddyPress Registration Options to “hide” the BuddyPress pages from non-registered users. Unfortunately, I’m unable to hide the link to “Forums” (which links to my bbPress installation) from non-logged users in my navigation. The actual forum topics are restricted, so clicking on forums when not logged in takes you a page that says, “Oh bother! No forums were found here!”, which is fine for an instance where someone actually types the URL. However, I’d like “Forums” to be hidden from the navigation until the user is logged in. My only requirement for accessing the forums is level of Subscriber. Subscriber should be able to fully use the forums, I just don’t want users who aren’t logged in to be able to see the “Forum” link in my navigation.
Can this be done in bp-custom.php?
I apologize if my question isn’t clear. If it is not, please let me know so that I can rephrase it. Remember that I’m a complete newbie! 
Thank you so much! Any and all help is very much appreciated!
Hello,
I have installed BuddyPress and selected the “buddypress-widget-theme”.
url: http://www.calvinpert.name/
Where do I find the php code for the right sidebar?
I would like to change the words “Please create an account to get started. “
to an image.
Thank you.
