My website is based upon wordpress with few customizations done. I need to know if moving to buddypress will be possible?
Hello, i need disable email notifications for my buddypress because my server no permitted massive mails, please help me thanx
WP/BP versions? What have you changed recently in your installation? Change to bp-default theme and deactivate plugins except BuddyPress to start troubleshooting.
– See links to subpages on the right sidebar of https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/
– I suggest using bp-default while you are setting up the site and change to a different theme later.
– After going thru installation wizard, you can make changes at dashboard menu BuddyPress > Choose specific setting you want to change
@elangley Since you’ve already purchased Networks+, at this point I suggest that you take advantage of the advanced and excellent support included with the purchase provided by the plugin developer at http://wpebooks.com/support/networks/
The link doesn’t show up anymore. It worked perfectly before and one day it disappeared. Then when I click compose a blank pop up box comes up and i can only click ok but nothing occurs. I tried reinstalling buddypress and my template trying others and it didn’t fix anything.
I am trying to create a search where users search members only by their role. FYI I am using the Members plugin so I don’t have wp roles except subscriber and administrator. I understand I have to create a filter but need help, any ideas?
Hi,
1. WordPress version : 3.3.1
2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? Directory
6. Which version of BP are you running? 1.5
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
I have a child theme based on buddypress default.
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? Linux
My Question:
Could anyone please let me know how to send a user to a thank you page/other pages(created as a template) from the buddypress registration page. I have added profile fields to the registration page.
I have looked through the bp-member/member-signup.php file but I couldn’t find a function that will send them to another page/thank you page/ confirmation page.
Thank You,
Shank
@MrJarbenne – Thank you for that! Going to go check it out now.
Can you post the exact cron as you have it in cPanel?
Also, BuddyPress has a group in here I believe, so you might also want to post the question there, including the line as you have it entered.
It should look like this: `wget http://YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-content/plugins/buddystream/import.php -O /dev/null -q`, and be set to run every 15 minutes. Don’t reduce that time by the way. Networks will cut you off if you do.
Hi:
Sounds like you’ve got everything set up right. Do you have the “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” in BussyPress settings set to No? Once the WordPress registration page is pointed at the BuddyPress registration page, no one should have to register on both, and the option above should keep those registrations ‘in sync’.
You said:
“I have the buddypress register associated with the wordpress register page, but it still does not work.”
If you’ve done this within BuddyPress Page settings, you’re actually associating WordPress’s Registration and activation pages with BuddyPress. Not the other way around as you stated. Is this what you’ve done?
We installed BuddyPress a few weeks ago and have been working on a new community. Things are progressing nicely. We finally started testing and realized that the BuddyPress native group, blog and forum search only checks titles. We started to look around for a resolution to the issue as this will pretty much kill us, but haven’t managed to find anything.
Might any of you kind folk have an idea how to cleanly resolve this issue? Or have I done something wrong?
Thanx in advance for any info you can provide. 
Hey there,
I’m have buddypress on my wordpress site, what I want to do is have the wordpress registration form also register for buddypress at the same time. That is: user goes to site, and wants to register. They register for the wordpress site, and is now registered for the buddypress part as well.
Currently they must register for both seperately. I have the buddypress register associated with the wordpress register page, but it still does not work. Anyone know how to do this?
@mercime
Last night, on a fresh install of WP Multi Site, I added Networks+, then BP Multi Network, then BuddyPress.
In the Members page of a test site I can still see users that are not members of that site. It must be me. I am just not sure what I am doing wrong.

If you have specific issues then you need to create a topic for it, explain in as much detail what exactly is wrong, then we can attempt to help you with something specific.
All the information that is available is in the BP Codex, I’m not suggesting that you necessarily write something for it but it is only as good as the effort put in by the collective volunteer community and is acknowledged to be in need of expanding.
@ChrisClayton answered many of your points but if you have further specific issues start a new thread and people will attempt to help you with them.
As for the visual editor issue that is a WP function not BP so suggests that perhaps your WP install is not functioning correctly. The best approach to setting everything up is to to first install WP and simply work with that checking that all it’s functions work as expected,i.e posts, permalinks, registering new users etc only when all that checks out proceed to activating BP using it’s default theme and checking all it’s basic functions are working.
Thanks again, Hugo.
Okay, I copied and pasted the code you gave me into the functions.php file and got the header errors again with and without
`<?php
if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {}
endif;
?>`
Since this isn’t going to get resolved I’m going to junk BuddyPress and look for an alternative. It’s too difficult to work with. Sorry for wasting your time.
These are not helpful comments. I am not a developer. I have no knowledge. I am just learning as I go. But it appears that there is something wrong with my buddypress. I have only html when creating a post or page. There is no tab in the upper right corner to go back and forth between “visual” and “html”.
Your answer to my frustration was, “Yet you have spent, thus far, so little time understanding the application you are trying to use – don’t jump the gun and vent your frustrations until you have spent a little time learning how something works, then you will be better able to judge whether something really is a frustration, in need of better explanation” What kind of help is that? The point is that I am not finding the information I need. Wouldn’t it be better just to tell what I need to know, rather than scold me for not knowing? This is useless support. I have been working on this for weeks, yet you wrongly assume I haven’t given it any effort or time.
Your tech support skills need work.
Just add an the following IF Statement
if (current_user_can('level_10')){
}
Add the above if condition around the following code in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-settings/bp-settings-loader.php
$main_nav = array(
'name' => __( 'Settings', 'buddypress' ),
'slug' => $this->slug,
'position' => 100,
'show_for_displayed_user' => bp_core_can_edit_settings(),
'screen_function' => 'bp_core_screen_general_settings',
'default_subnav_slug' => 'general'
);
This isn’t possible at the moment. There is too many hard coded URLs throughout BuddyPress.
Andy’s blog post shows us how to change top level slugs such as “friends” and “activity”.
http://buddypress.org/2009/05/customizable-slugs-in-buddypress/
How would you change a second level slug such as “add-friend” or “my-friends”? for example:
http://www.example.com/stephensmith/friends/my-friends/
Hi Boone,
Right thanks for the var dunp stuff, that’s got the first bit working and the correct info is stored in the variables.
I’m having some trouble now with the actual function itself. I changed the function name and changed the `item id` value to $groupid but nothing happens. I took the blog_record_activity from the core files and changed to groups_record_activity but am wondering whether it’s the component bit that’s the issue? I noticed in this post: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-groupblog-adding-an-entry-to-group-activity-stream that the component is set to “groups” .
Progress so far: http://pastebin.com/LTWSDM2i
I am using a clever script to allow users to select a user role on registration:
add_action('user_register', 'register_role');
function register_role($user_id, $password="", $meta=array()) {
$userdata = array();
$userdata = $user_id;
$userdata = $_POST;
//only allow if user role is my_role
if ($userdata == "my_role"){
wp_update_user($userdata);
}
}
Source: http://www.jasarwebsolutions.com/2010/06/27/how-to-change-a-users-role-on-the-wordpress-registration-form/
I am trying to adapt it to use on the BuddyPress Profile Edit form but cannot get it to work. I guess it needs the right add_action(). Any ideas what that would be?
