It means exactly what it says in error. Contact your webhost re: “The GD image library is not installed.”

If you are on your localhost, you would need to add/activate GD library. You have to resolve GD library addition or activation issue in whatever package you are using for your installation – xampp wamp mamp lamp etc.

Resolve this issue before installing/activating BuddyPress at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

@patsyd This is a webhost issue. You should contact them via ticket or better yet, I see Live Chat feature in ixwebhosting panel where you can get immediate help to increase PHP memory to at least 32mb. Resolve this issue before installing BuddyPress.

Hi,
This is just what I was looking for, any one have find the way to do it?
Thanks!

@vtowel. did you finally get this to work for you? I’m still getting the 404 error.

Thanks to some terrific people, here is the solution now… https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-disable-activity-commenting/#post-92892

@Travel-Junkie Thanks for the code. I know it will help me achieve what I want.

But my challenge is that I know nothing about coding. I have succeeded in locating the functions.php and have opened it in order to edit it. My question is where in the whole code will I place the code you wrote. Is it at the beginning or end of the code.

I am planning to use this code below

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

Please, I will appreciate you help. I am a complete WYSIWYG person but I can follow simple instructions as regards code.

Thank you in anticipation.

I have got this sorted out with buddypress profile privacy pluggin

Ah! Found it. Knew it https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/change-wrote-a-new-blog-post-text/

And this is resolved

Buddypress emails are wired around wordpress emails.

Bluehost seems to be the worst when it comes to the emails, as taking very slow/not sending.

Try using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

Good luck!

take a look at this
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2780

it is fixed in 1.3 branch but not in 1.2 branch. You can modify the the friends-template tag or just hook to the filter to correct it.

@mercime oh awesome! needed that.

Stay tuned for buddypress 1.3

@pjries Thanks for this. I hope I understand what you said correctly. I’m going to give it a try today and I’ll post the results here.

ok… I solved it by downloading the zip from another installation that worked and uploading that zip, and suddenly it worked!?!? weird…
