BuddyPress.org

From the codex:

Group Types

Use this hook which is available right after they join.
do_action( 'groups_join_group', $group_id, $user_id );

Try this in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php:

function schene_promote_group_member( $group_id, $user_id ) {
    $group_member = new BP_Groups_Member( $user_id, $group_id );
    $group_member->promote( 'admin' );
}
add_action( 'groups_join_group', 'schene_promote_group_member', 10, 2 );

@izzethan You can disable the admin toolbar for anyone who is not logged in simply by going to Settings > BuddyPress > Options tab, then make sure that “Toolbar – Show the Toolbar for logged out users” is not checked.

Here is the solution for forcing BP uploads form every MULTIBLOG-enable network sites to be stored on (and fetched from) the main site : https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6931#comment:1

To put it simple, simply create a file wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php and paste in the code from this gist: https://gist.github.com/imath/91d56292673e6de61597

The code speaks for itself.

@sandaap
Try to map your pages with setting >> BuddyPress >> Pages
For topics and forums install bbPress.

I haven’t figured out for profile header image yet, but you will find solutions for centralizing avatar storage on MULTIBLOG-enabled BP networks here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/multiblogmultisite-avatar-missing/

Basically, if you want to use avatars from the main site, you can just add this to your wp-config.php:

define( 'BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/wp-content/uploads' );                         define( 'BP_AVATAR_URL', '//'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/wp-content/uploads' );

If you want to use avatars from another site, you will likely need to add the site’s upload path (eg. ‘/sites/2’) to both paths.

Hey,

I’m assuming you’ve enabled groups in Components and have you tried going to http://yoursite/groups ? There should be a link from Dashboard -> Settings -> BuddyPress -> Pages
I’ve just tested a fresh install of WP, BP 6 and Hueman and all was working.

Which settings page are you referring to?
You cannot create a group from the BuddyPress settings page.
If you are the site admin, you should see a ‘Create’ button on this page:

Groups

@shonty Is this a new installation or is this an old install where you changed from another theme or imported forums from e.g. phpbb to bbPress, etc.?

Just like shanebp, I cannot replicate the issue as well.
Do provide more info about your installation – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

@rootcr8r Could be caused by a variety of reasons. Have you tried changing your theme to the Twenty Nineteen theme to see if issue is resolved? If not, then have you tried disabling all plugins except BuddyPress while on the Twenty Nineteen theme?

@n33d See WordPress 4-year old ticket re updating to jQuery 3+ will cause breaking changes https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37110
When WP core upgrades, so will BuddyPress. In the meantime, we have to use what’s in WP core.
