FYI, the BuddyPress development team has rejected my enhancement request to implement a Community Notification Capability (see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4381).
Use buddypress activity plus plugin, i want a video page which shows all video activity and a page which all photos activity (show one photo in activity and show remaining in sentence)
Sounds good @joelshakespear — I will gladly let you know what I find out. Keep checking back here and I will update this post as I gain ground on finding a good solution for Community Notification Capabilities.
Hello All,
I am running WP 3.3.2 Multisite and BP 1.5.5
I am getting spam user registrations that appear to be bypassing the BuddyPress register system. I have several fields setup, that are required. Spam user accounts are being created that do not have these fields filled out.
What can I do to stop these registrations?

Thanks @joelshakespear
Where is `BP Mass Messaging` ? Is it an Admin option? Is it a plugin?
If it is the plugin, I already tried it and it does not work. I got:
`You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.`
Note, I am the WP Admin.
Plus I don’t think it is supported by the developer any longer. I posted to their forum site and s/he did not respond.
P.S. we have our own servers and host the site internally so the email blast to our 250 members will not be an issue.
@mercime
Ok so you think its the theme im using? the game portal?
Thanks mo, you gave me the right concept needed. I tried setting the write permission to 777 and it still did not work. If that’s the case, then the GD Library must be the issue. I found this post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/avatar-problem-upload-and-crop-works-but-not-showing-image/. I immediately called my host company and once GD Library was upgraded… that was it! I can now upload avatars. My buddypress site is now ready with avatar upload. Thanks! CASE RESOLVED.
1. What Woo theme are you using? We have compiled a list of “template-packed” themes near bottom of https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
2. correct naming for the files needed for 2nd option of theme compatibility
buddypress-header.php should be header-buddypress.php
and
buddypress-sidebar.php should be sidebar-buddypress.php
Otherwise your changes will be implemented at all.
@idanny08 Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make the BP templates compatible with your theme.
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your wisdom of life theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.
A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php
Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add the code from http://pastebin.com/pTiuAruq
Save file.
B. CREATE A NEW BLANK FILE named sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up the blank sidebar-buddypress.php file and add the code from http://pastebin.com/1FyKJ5eK
Save file.
C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/wisdom-of-life/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are
D. Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.
Final note: not sure whether the breadcrumbs or theme options will work in the BP pages.
First, let me apologize for probably frustrating you with such a common issue!
I have tried to edit the files, and have successfully managed to get the content appear in the right place, but no matter what I try the sidebar still appears in the footer, rather than beside the main content.
I only edited the buddypress-header.php and buddypress-sidebar.php
I am using the latest versions of buddypress ad wordpress.
Thanks!
@dreamlarp BP Docs shouldn’t affect the forums at all. If you change to bp-default theme, can you see your posts.
I suggest searching or asking for help on bbPress.org’s forums — maybe someone’s seen this before.
Thank You from the bottom of my heart Roger. You are the voice of common sense to something I could not see for all the trees in the road.
I removed buddypress and other bp plugins from the plugin directory, then removed the bp theme.
Voila! I now have access again.
I have been trying to calm down over the last few days and had awful visions of me having to start all my multisites all over again.
Re the meaningful title, I do agree and so apologise. I was so traumatised I could not think of anything else.
Thank you! THANK YOU.

On one of my sites I have a large phpBB forum. I recently installed WP as a separate front end publishing system for news, etc., but of course there is no interactivity between the two. I’d really like to tie these together.
I like the features of BuddyPress but after searching the forums I have seen any good solution for a bridge that would link all of these together in a truly useful way. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks @Paul Gibbs. I’ve imported my old group forums/topics into bbP2 like you suggested above and the import bit seems to work OK – they appear in the bbP forum list and can be read from there.
But when I create a new BP group forum (via group admin front end) or add a new topic to a BP group forum, nothing shows up in the bbP forum listing (as I assume it should do – am I right?). Similarly, when I add a topic to the bbP forum for a particular BP group, it doesn’t show up in the BP group forum accessed from the BP group page. So BP group forums and bbP forums are still acting completely independently of each other and not integrated at all.
Perhaps it is a bug? What would you advise? Has anyone else achieved proper integration?
(Note that I did disable the Groups Forum component inside the BuddyPress components setting page in wp-admin as you said above.)
I had posted yesterday with a subject of Moving Buddypress which may have been misleading. The thread is here http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/moving-buddypress-1/.
According to the codex, I would think I could move within a multisite install
http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/
The note in 3 suggests that moving Buddypress is possible, but it was mentioned that it’s not typical. Any thoughts how to do this or should I try to recreate with a new database?
Yes, Buddypress can be installed on a subdomain as a single WordPress install. The subdomain will be your siteurl and blogurl;
Hello!
I’m having trouble where the usernames displayed as links in BuddyPress forums, widgets (ex, Recent Forum Replies, Recently Active Users) don’t link properly. Rather than linking to ‘http://site.com/members/username/’ the way they should, they instead link to ‘http://site.com/username/’. I can’t track down the settings in any part of the dashboard or BuddyPress settings, and the templating for this is tricky – is it the BP_MEMBERS_SLUG function that controls this?
If anyone can let me know what I’m missing or offer advice for diagnosing the issue, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks bro I don’t know how to thank you and my friend I recently found your buddypress-colour-template and I was just wondering to know if I can use it with your premission and also how would I use it I am trying to edit all the colours of my theme but not changing the theme since I love bp-default theme. I tried to install it as a plugin it failed, tried as a theme it saying it’s missing a css file and template it’s a broken theme so I don’t know can you please help me. thanks.
I have a hook into the WordPress Add New User process via an `add_action(‘user_register’, ‘doMyFunction’);` hook.
What results is that I am (Step 1) adding a new user through WordPress and then (Step 2) having to add the same user to BuddyPress in order to get the user fully activated in WP/BP with the proper role.
I would prefer to just add a new user/member once through the Buddy Press Add User page and have it go through my hooked function.
Is there a Buddypress hook I should change too on the hook I show above in order to eliminate the 1st step described in my process?
Thanks for helping.
I would like to have a situation where one user can write a document, and another can proofread and edit it. All privately. There doesn’t seem to be any direct way to do this – is there maybe a workaround? If you know of another plugin which may be more suited to this task, that would also be helpful.
I’m currently running:
Wordpress 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.5.6
BuddyPress Docs 1.1.24
Thanks a lot
No matter what I search for I get this page: http://buddypress.org/?s
Does anyone have a recommendation on a good plugin that cal send an email message to all active Buddypress members?
Thanks.
