Gravity forms has this very useful feature and I can’t imagine this plugin without conditional fields, I am using it a lot in every single form, try to take a look how this plugin works, maybe you will find some solution how to implement it.
@Mercime and @modemlooper – I’m learning so much! I just followed the path given by @mercime in my FTP files…..(didn’t even know what those were an hour ago). Anywho, when I go through all of those folders, I do indeed see a permalink.php file. Should I open it?
Other ideas?
Sorry, I meant to mention that this is a multisite install and the activity is really not there, on the backend. (It’s not a theme problem.)
In my local development environment I added BuddyPress to an existing install of WordPress. The local environment is using BuddyPress 1.6.1 and WordPress 3.4.2 with the default BuddyPress theme with no customization. I installed and activated BuddyPress after importing all the content from my previous CMS and none of the posts show up in the activity stream for the appropriate member. They do show up in the appropriate category and on the home page, and in the various archives. I found this plugin but it’s really out of date and errored out on activation: http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-import-blog-activity/. Any help registering the posts in the appropriate activity streams would be greatly appreciated.
Posting out to the existing platforms ? yes it is a feature of Buddystream but the developer of Buddystream appears to be snowed under at the minute and is currently unable to give a level of support the plugin users need. Moreover it is a premium plugin.
The posting out feature does not appear to be covered in bebop but is covered (although not simultaneous with posting) by the BuddyPress Share It /BuddyShare by modemlooper who appears to be as supportive as anyone could wish for. Hopefully Facebook, linkedin etc will eventually be integrated into bebop. I just hope the heavyweights on this forum (volunteers etc)if they have the time, will give bebop a good look over and perhaps contribute ideas wise to help it on its way as (IMHO) it could be a major addition to buddypress.
@lindayeats,
…definitely the Facebook platform should be added. Does this plugin does not allow a member to post out to the existing platforms? If there is a way to do this, I haven’t been able to find it. This is a key feature of Buddystream.
I’m using a BuddyPress compatible theme, and I installed BP, and bbPress with the site wide forums. My issue is when I attempt to create an avatar with the theme, the cropping selection photo is so small, and I’m unable to make a box big enough to create a cropped image. See the following images…
With the BuddyPress theme:

With my BP Enabled Theme:

I’m pretty sure that the issue isn’t with BuddyPress. It also happens with the groups avatar. Where abouts should I look to fix the issue? Where would the theme hold the BP avatar coding so I can fix it? Anything will help. Thanks!
Hi
I just installed buddypress on my site and discovered the great possibilities if offers. However, I’m having a hard time to put in the the css together to make it fit my theme. Can anyone have a look and help me out to get rid of the horizontal scroll bottomline?
The site is here http://tinyurl.com/9u9yjg5
NO ! It was for the second problem ! Maybe I should post it in another topic ! But My comment button problem is alive ! 
Hey @Mercime! Thanks for checking back!
I need child-like instructions as I am still learning wordpress…but I promise I am trying really hard!!! Where do I go on the dashboard/admin panel to access “wp-content”? Under settings? Appearance? I don’t see anything that says “wp-content” on the admin panel….
Sorry for such a stupid question, and I appreciate your help!
== If a member is part of a public group, but is not a group moderator or a group admin, and starts a new forum topic (using bbPress 1, not bbPress 2)… can they sticky and edit their own topic? ==
@djpaul
a) Tested regular member – can only edit topic but cannot make it sticky.
b) Found a possible bug when I was logged in as Admin of site but not Group Admin nor Group Moderator
– Created and Posted the new topic = e.g. “Testing Paul Gibbs Issue” with url http://example.com/groups/the-godfather/forum/topic/testing-paul-gibbs-issue/
– Make the topic Sticky = click on Sticky
– The Post was reposted for some reason and made sticky, now two topics in forum and one is sticky with url http://example.com/groups/the-godfather/forum/topic/testing-paul-gibbs-issue-1/
Anyone looking for a Buddystream alternative, your wait is over. This plugin works and is apparently resourced for further development. More platforms will surely be added. Although originally intended for educational and teaching resources it already imports, for example, twitter,flickr,youtube,vimeo & slideshare – for free. Could be a turbo-charger for buddypress. see http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bebop/
Hi guys,
When registering to my site, on submission nothing happens, the page refreshes and the user is not created.
Any step by step ways to see what the problem is?
I have tried uninstalling buddypress, but it didn’t even show a registration page after that.
Thanks in advance for any help! (both bp and wp are the latest versions)
I am not saying my project will have countries, states, cities etc. profile fields. I am only using the states dropdown list as an example. But definitely a few layers of nested profile fields are needed for my site. For whoever chooses to use multiple layers profile fields in their design for user registration, I am sure they already have the values(might be just 1 or 2 or 5) for each layer in their mind, it is certainly not unlimited; on the contrary, it may most likely have very limited number of option values in each field for users to choose from. And that is why I say it is a basic requirement in the perspective of admins of a BuddyPress site. It is the capability of having this nested/conditional profile fields provided in the 1st place that matters, not how many values that are going to the fields that matters.
Glad it worked out well for you. Marking this topic as resolved
@mahdiar we’ll address the comment button issue in that thread but I had assumed you fixed it per your post “I found the answer . I copy new files in bp-default theme to my own theme .”
The issue was with an earlier installation of BuddyPress. It was a matter of reinstalling WordPress. Everything is working well now with the exception of the avatar cropping, lol. Thanks for your help mercime!
This is far from ‘BASIC’, and also impractical from an interface perspective – for your specific requirement: 50 States each having say 50 cities, equates to 50 x 50 = 2,500 drop down controls you’d have to configure just on your 3rd layer.
It also doesn’t take into account handling this in a generic way, and other fields (apart from drop downs) that might equally well want conditional behaviour attached to them (checkboxes, value entered in number field, etc.).
Specialist form generation software might want to try and tackle this, but it’s not suitable for the base set of profile field functions offered by BuddyPress.
—
The best way to implement this for your Countries, States, Cities, etc. is to add the fields programmatically — if you search on Github, you’ll find a number of PHP arrays that have already been produced / maintained listing states and their corresponding cities.
You can iterate over these arrays in your code (a plugin, or functions.php, etc) and generate the fields programmatically using the xprofile functions provided in the BuddyPress API.
I just wanted to point out that this is the case (occasionally) with the buddypress setup here at buddypress.org as well as over at bbpress.org. Is it possible that this is a bug in the software and not only applicable to the OPs setup?
@hugo: I think providing the choices with nested/conditional custom fields and the ability to be bond with automatic group assignments during user registration should be at the heart of making BuddyPress useful in a BASIC way. These are not some fancy stuff that we should expect come from the Plugins. Plus, if we depend on Plugins for all these patches to the foundamental parts of our BuddyPress powered sites, and if the Plugins not updated on time with the new release of BuddyPress Core, then we are completely doomed!
Please, everyone, in the core dev team, reconsider this request. Thank you!
In terms of the automatic group member depending on certain profile fields, here is another user’s request … https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/automatic-group-member-depending-on-fields-in-profile/
Dear mercime, it does help and work fine! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
@tgnwsauctions
Yes, WooCommerce works fine alongside BuddyPress. We use it on http://www.enterprisenation.com/shop
WooCommerce provides a fairly rich API with lots of actions you can hook onto — so, provided you are a developer, you can also mould a tight integration with BuddyPress.
Themekraft produce a plugin that integrates the WooCommerce account / profile screens with BuddyPress’s profile screen — we find there are some issues with the UX this creates though. If you google this forum, there was a recent thread discussing this.
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/zenon-lite/
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.
