@ndugger I don’t know of a plugin that supports these permissions — so, you’d would need to get your hands dirty in the PHP code. I would suggest assigning WordPress user roles to members, and then in the group template files enabling / disabling the Join capability based on user role.
We (21inspired) have some plans with regard to photo albums, but they are a little way off.
I am in the middle of creating a BuddyPress site, and I am doing something different with the groups and I need different permissions. Is there some sort of plugin that allows me to change what the permissions are for members?
I don’t wan’t people to be able to join any group, but I want them to be able to see the content in them.
Then, I know this is a popular question, but any idea on any ETA for some sort of group album plugin?
Any help on these two issues would be greatly appreciated. Its interesting to try to overhaul the group system when my knowledge of PHP is very limited. Its been going very well so far, but we’ll see, lol.
Thanks!

Exist a definitive ultimate stabile COMPLETE SEO for buddypress including GROUP, BBPRESS forum, GALLERY ?!?!?!?
NO!
WHY?????????
@RogerCoathup Thanks for that I will look in to it- it didn’t happen to me when I built first edition on local server. It may be one of a number of plugins, I will test each one to see if they cause problem and then try another theme. Shouldn’t be the theme because custom community theme is supposed to be compatible with BP but hey ho you never know.
@cj-kruger Yes I think I am, BP Klout and BP Twitter. I’ll look to see how it goes but at the moment the two plugins seem to be fine together unless of course they are causing the problem.
I will test this week and report back. Thanks all.
Can mark this as Resolved. Turned out to be a bug with the theme … updated to the newest version and is working fine.
it’s not a function itself… it’s a call to the do_action() function, passing ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’ as the parameter. The call is being made in sidebar.php in the bp-default template folder.
You can find these things by searching through a buddypress install in any good code editor / development environment.
do_action() itself is defined in the core WordPress files. In this case, do_action() will invoke any functions that you hook onto the bp_after_sidebar_me action.
@mercime
I deleted the 6 folders, as I edited some files previously, then went into Appearance>BP Compatibility. I didn’t see an option to re-run it. There was an option to reset it so I clicked it but it brought me back to step 3 and the folders were not recreated.
Should I uninstall the plugin then reinstall it?
I’m using a theme called Salutation, and I used the workaround discussed here: https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/developer-and-designer-information/ under “Member settings pages are blank”
This worked, but there’s no CSS / HTML formatting, everything is just stacked on top of each other. It seems as if it just needs a page template to feed off of in order to display correctly. Is there some way I can point the BuddyPress settings files to my WordPress settings page or vice versa?
@frank13 — there is no specific script for a do_action ( ‘abc123’ );
You have to register functions (hooks) that are invoked by the do_action — check out these pages from the WordPress Codex for more information on programming actions: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
== I’ve since researched and have found the fix by moving the settings from buddypress member folder to the theme member folder. ==
@matthewmsexton what theme are you using? Default BP installation does not require moving any settings to “theme member folder”. Change to bp-default theme to set up and explore BP components/features.
== When I undelete the six folders the problem solved ==
Note that I said to delete the six BP folders in wp-content/themes/complete only If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your complete theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process. If you did not make any revisions, then you do not have to delete the BP folders. Also, if you did delete the BP folders, then per instruction above, then run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files..
Not clear where the blank pages are. Even so, check out https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/
Perfect. Thanks @mercime. Appreciate your help…
I typically post my questions in both the WP forum and this forum. It seems to increase my chances of getting assistance from “never getting assistance” to “getting some assistance within a few days”. Both forums are not as active as many others out there on the net that I participate in.
@caderial looks like you’ve fixed the issue. I see only 4 unique groups. What was the culprit?
@ploupas On the theme end, Mystique is version 2.5.7 in the WP theme repo. https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mystique. Based on scan of its current page.php, my instructions above still hold.
Thanks @EyeMagicGraphics — I am using the Dynamic Widgets plug-in. It has a very peculiar glitch in it.
I created a static text widget in WP. Then I use Dynamic Widgets to have the static text widget appear only on a certain page and all of its child pages.
The glitch is that (from every WP & DynWidg setting I have tried) I can only get the text widget to appear on the child ages. I cannot get it to appear on the parent page.
So I give up after 4-5 days of effort and just want to go into the production of the sidebar code and hard code my widget.
I’ll have a look at your suggestion on “Conditional Logic” and see where that leads me.
Hi,
I ran into the problem of having a blank settings page for my buddypress network … I’ve since researched and have found the fix by moving the settings from buddypress member folder to the theme member folder.
The settings now appear, however since it isn’t associated with a WordPress page it has no CSS / HTML framework. I went to “Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory.” but there is no section for associating the settings page.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi
I use two plugins:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/
and CubePoints
User account type lite gets user type and shows on page list of these users. Somebody knows how i can add type of points? I know how to sort user by activity or alphabetical. It’s simple, cause I dont know how I can add type of new sorting – points.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot.
@damler
First you need to activate the BuddyPress plugin.
Second, you need to install the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility
Third, realign BP template files, see https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/easel-theme-buddypress-alignment-problem/
== I can’t seem to save/change the Page Attributes of the BuddyPress created pages. ==
It’s because you can’t do that at this time @blinkybill01.
BP pages are using the BP template files transferred during the compatibility process, the very same files we’re going to revise here.
== Also, I’ve noticed that with the most recent WordPress update, I’ve been getting more and more 406 errors. Is this something I should contact my hosting company about? ==
Haven’t encountered those errors yet. Yes, you should contact your webhost since 406 errors are usually related to suhosin security extension or Apache mod_security and the like.
If you only want sitewide forums (not group forums as well):
In wp-admin in BuddyPress > Components, disable the “Forums” component. Go to the Pages menu in wp-admin, and if you have a page called “forums”, delete it (you don’t need it any more).
In wp-admin, go to Plugins > Add New, and search for and install and activate the “bbPress” plugin. You should see something like version 2.1 of that plugin.
Once done, you should be able to start using bbPress for sitewide forums. If you have specific questions about how to make bbPress do non-BuddyPress things, the best place to ask is on bbpress.org.
Don’t post duplicates.

DB Cache plugins
Hyper cache Plugin
I am not sure if it is the cache plugin that is casing this issue, but whenever i create a new group , in the group listings page is shows the group 3 times. But if i delete the group it removes all 3.
I have set up Hyper Cache to ignore caching the /create/ pages and the /groups/ pages and such but still to no avail.
You can see the error in effect here:
