Hi.
I am not sure how to disable to confirm e-mail function on my wordpress/buddypress site.
It’s deterring my users from using my site.
This question is best suited for the wordpress.org support forums as it doesn’t seem to involve BuddyPress.
Hello!
I’ve been looking into the use of Buddypress for my next website project and so far it seems to have just the right features for what we’re looking for.
I had one question though about a particular function I’m not sure is available through adjustments, coding or plugin. I was wondering if there was anyway for a user to create a blog post in their Extended Profiles, and have the option to have it posted as a topic on the forum too. I’ve seen this kind of functionality done to great effects at http://www.giantbomb.com/ . While I understand Buddypress is quite different from what Giant Bomb uses in terms as their own API, but I was just curious if it were possible. And even if it’s not right now, it would make for a great addition to future updates of the system.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
The code provided above worked, although a little change was required in sidebar coding…
> Widgets, and drag & drop a widget into the corresponding widget panel.', 'swagger' ); ?>
Just for clarity- you do know understand that in the event that bp hasn’t created pages or you get that message that associations are broken it’s a manual process to create those pages before navigating back to BP pages to now find them available in the selection dropdown.
With Saluation – if memory serves – you may need to go into each of those pages created for BP use and ensure that you have selected ‘buddypress’ in the layout options sidebar custom field.
@oaklawn “I really need people to be able to post anonymously. … I would like to have people post without a display name “
Where? In posts? In blog post comments? In Group or Sitewide Forums? It can be done, you just need to delete the instances where username is shown in different templates of the different components.
Good question. I think if you delete the registeration/ folder in your theme (or parent theme), it will use WP’s. Let us know.
Also try removing the page mapping for the component in wp-admin – BuddyPress > Components
@mercime Thanks again for your help.
I tried this previously with another colorlabs template and it simply displayed =0 when I tried loading the page, however, using a different template now, it seems to work.. I just need to try and adjust the files to make it look a bit better.
you can see what I have done here – http://www.jakewhitehead.com/socialbp/
Just hoping this will do what I want.
Can you hide some of these menus so only logged in users see them?
There are no plugins that does what you need at this time. You can post the job offer at

@starprintbrokers Salutation is supposed to be a BuddyPress-ready theme, therefore you do not need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin nor go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. If you did, deactivate Salutation and delete the theme, then re-upload a clean copy of the Salutation theme but do not activate it yet.
Change to bp-default theme, then go to BuddyPress > Pages. For each component that does not have a Page yet, e.g. Activity Streams does not have “Activity” page across, click on “New Page” button and the Page will be created. Do the same for the remaining components in the section. You associate each page to each component and click “Save All” button at the bottom of the section.
Check that each BP component page is working. Then and only then do you change to Salutation theme. Btw, do confirm with theme author if Salutation has been upgraded to work with current BuddyPress version.
Actually, I already had BuddyPress Template pack installed. I just activated it again, and tired again. I clicked repair on that message, and still, there are no pages by those names in teh pull down menus.
go to your /wp-admin -> plugins -> add new.
search Buddypress Template Pack.
Install it, and run it.
Follow the simple steps…
All should work well.
I am muddling my way through quite UNsuccessfully. I activated BuddyPress in Salutation BuddyPress ready template. (I also wrote to them first.) I get this message …”The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, Discussion Forums, User Groups, Members, Activate, Register.”
Clicking on “Repair” following that message, does not work. Going to “Pages” under “BuddyPress” and assigning the pages from the pull down menus does not work, because these pages don’t exist! I’ve tried removing and reinstalling a couple of times. What do I do now?
I’ve been searching around and trying to see if there is a way to use WordPress register forum instead of Buddypress register forum. Any idea how to get around this?
Hi, I’d like to allow users to upload their own profile pictures rather than use avatars. How do I allow for this functionality?
All the best!
Hi everyone,
I’m building a gaming site and I’m looking for a gaming ladder and tournament plugin/theme or something similar. I want people to challenge other groups (Which are going to be the clans), Top Groups, show who’s battling who. Something similar like 360battles.com, or a script similar to eliteladders.com
I want it to be compatible with wordpress or buddypress, If there’s none can you make what i’m looking for? I’m willing to pay of course lolz.
I appreciate your help in advance, Thanks!
This is because BuddyPress is not yet “aware” that they’re there until they log in, assuming BuddyPress is a recently activated plugin.
See https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ at “Change the default tab opened when looking at a user’s profile (default is activity): …”
Go to Settings > Permalinks and set permalinks to other than default permalink. Then go again to BuddyPress > Pages and Re-Save the settings, assuming you’ve already assigned Pages to respective components.
The javascript used for the comment, delete and favorite buttons is hijacking the tap on touch screens there for it will be impossible to copy unless this javascript is re written to include touch.
== Buddypress seems to have written over my wordpress database ==
@roclimb BuddyPress creates tables in database and does not overwrite WP DB tables..
Just deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins from wp-admin. If you cannot access your wp-admin, rename buddypress plugin folder via FTP/sFTP or control panel in server. See also https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/
@elangley Thank you. We’re aware of the issue.
@jloc14 using FTP/SFTP or your control panel – rename the following folders in your server:
– from wp-content/plugins/buddypress to wp-content/plugins/buddypress-xx
– from wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack to wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack-xx
You can access your wp-admin by now.
