Some versions of BuddyPress require a specific version of WordPress. So if you’re using an old version of WordPress (you should upgrade that asap, obviously), you need to use the version of BuddyPress that last supported that version of WordPress.
Hey all,
I need some help tracking down a plugin or a solution.
I have BuddyPress on my site and all is well. I have made custom Profile Fields for users to fill out, however this is where my problem lies.
I want to be able to view all the information that users input at one place, like a spreadsheet for example. My company site could grow into the 100,000+ member range and I can’t go continually visiting every members profile to update their data into my Member Registry.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nate
What desktop browser are you using? I couldn’t replicate the switcher not working. I’m not sure about the “cookie package” that’s not a necessity. Glad you got it worked out. Another note, I only test on default BP theme so when you venture into custom themes all plugins could break.
Hello,
I am using buddypress at first time.
I need to use it in my premium theme or any kinds of which is not buddypress basis.
I just install another plugin name “bp template pack” .
Now it tell me, to change some templates given by this plugin. And change html according to my page.php file.
Buddypress default is :

Thanks

@licomic – Could you clarify what you mean by ‘bulk load’?
If you mean importing a large list of groups into BuddyPress, i don’t think their is a plugin that provides it currently.
However, you could achieve it by grabbing the list of groups and foreach of the items you could run through the groups_create_group() function… http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/buddypress/_functions/groups_create_group.html
Thanks for the fast reply.
can u suggest me the buddypress supported photo album plugins?
Thanks n Advance
Looking at the page http://codex.buddypress.org/releases/ I see that every BuddyPress update has an associated WordPress version. Does this mean that if I update BuddyPress without updating WordPress too, the updates will be useless? I’m mostly interested in security updates.
@ashokgolusu as Fotobook is a WordPress plugin and doesn’t interact with BuddyPress specifically, you might get a better response from the WordPress forums – https://wordpress.org/tags/fotobook?forum_id=10
It should work…
The comment collapsing stuff is around line 1387 of global.js if you want to play around with it. try lowering the number a little (maybe 2?) and see if it works
note that it doesn’t factor in 2nd level comments (comment replies) yet – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2587 – so if you have 100 replies to a comment, then it will show all of thoes replies.
As of BP 1.5 onwards, any BuddyPress component should work when set as the home page.
Is there a reason why you don’t want to use BuddyPress’ Profile Fields? You wouldn’t have to write any code. (wp-admin BuddyPress > Profile)
Hello all, I’m a newbie in the world of php. I’m want to create a profile using buddypress members. That means I have to add more fields like age, gender, country e.t.c to wp_user in the database. I’ve figured out how to add the fields to the database. Now, my question is “how do I write the php code in member-loop so as to make it display on members page. The default ones available are bp_member_name(); or bp_member_name();. How to I make age, country, phone e.t.c display.
Thank you.
In my previous post I reported a problem I was having with logins for subordinate blogs being busted — apparently this is linked to something I did: Namely, to try to set the “Activity” page as the network’s homepage. When I did that, on any subordinate blog, looking at the front-end homepage showed the user as logged out (even though being logged in — e.g. could still post etc. via the backend).
It seems to me the this might have something to do with the buddypress admin bar (which shows on the front end of subordinate blogs, whereas the local theme admin bar shows in the backend).
Is it possible to use the activity as the homepage of a network (i.e. as “static page” in General Settings > Reading)?
Hello everybody,
i am a newbie to wordpress and buddypress but i need to set up a custom styled website with the buddypress plugin. I have created a child theme based on the basic bp theme.
On the single view of a member i wanted to change the output of the posts. In the moment a post i displayed in the code like this:
<div class="activity-content">
<div class="activity-header">
<a title="admin" href="http://192.168.2.55/creativeworld/members/admin/">admin</a> wrote a new post, <a href="http://192.168.2.55/creativeworld/2012/04/bild/">bild!??????</a> <a title="View Discussion" class="view activity-time-since" href="http://192.168.2.55/creativeworld/2012/04/bild/"><span class="time-since">2 hours, 16 minutes ago</span></a>
</div>
<div class="activity-inner">
text mit bild
</div>
</div>
But what i want to have is a structure like this:
<div class="activity-content">
<div class="image"><img src="[featured image of the post]" /></div>
<h1>headline</h1>
<div class="text">Here comes the post text</div>
</div>
I have already build the structure like in the parent theme to change the output on this page down to /activity/entry.php but then i found out, that the html structure is generated somewhere in the core, is that correct?
So is there a possibility to change that?
Also i was wondering how i can get the userid of the member whose profile i am currently displaying!? If i had this i could write my own function to get the posts in the way i want them to be.
Thanks for your help

@Chccclay there is also premium plugin, BuddyPress Message Privacy, which will give your students the ability to control who can send them private messages.
@Chccclay – Theirs no admin screen to read them, however unlike passwords which are hashed, messages are readable in plain text via the database. So, to answer your question, if you have database access then yes. you can read them.
Here is the address of all versions of BP ….

Hope you get better and you.
Hi,
I’m wondering if it’s possible for me to get the links with the activity streams e.g. username, group name etc load properly within a secure page? So the URL of each link automatically changes over to “https” instead of “http”.
I need to get this working because I’m running my Buddypress site securely and those links came up as not secure which will be annoying to the user.
Thanks!
Hah! My fault, I stopped at the end of the first post and didn’t follow through with the second. I’ll try all that now and let you know how it works out.
@teorourke I know you do not have a sidebar.php in your theme. Please read the instruction above:
B. Create a BLANK sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and paste this: …..
Content will be added for the BP template files to adjust the structure and not for your regular WP files.
Thanks for the work!
Two things I found out where the index.php is. Here’s the pastebin for the index.php.
http://pastebin.com/xWYHK9cF
Above you detailed how to make the header-buddypress.php. That’s done, and looks good so far. However I don’t know how to go about doing the sidebar. I did more research and found out there’s no sidebar.php included on purpose. Below the maker explains why in the documentation that came with the theme.
“Swagger is a 960px fixed-width theme with indented and intuitively spaced HTML. You will find in-line commenting allthroughout the HTML so that you can always figure out what section of the layout you are in. The backbone of every page is as follows:
`
…logo, main menu, header ad…
…latest slider…
…or…
(for full-width pages)
…all page content, including featured slider, post loop, and article slider…
`
In order to create this HTML structure, each page includes the header.php and footer.php files. You will notice there is no “sidebar.php” file in Swagger. That is because there are 16 unique widget areas, and rather than creating 16 separate files – one for each widget area – the sidebars are included directly in each of the pages that they are assigned to.”
So! How do we go about doing this, now that we have that information?
I want to implement buddypress in a school situation, and I would like to monitor for bullying and other harassing behaviors that don’t get reported by the students. As the admin, do I have the ability to read/monitor private messages between users?
@arturdesign2devcom I see CATEGORY, GROUPS, and SINGLE WP
So I see using http://buddydev.com/buddypress/blog-categories-for-groups-plugin/ where each group is a category. Create posts via front end; then create a regular category template file (see WP codex) for each group with the layout you want which can pull in the first image from the post in that category template file (get the image plugin or use post-thumbnail support).
I’m looking for a way to collapse the comments per activity post when more than 5 comments are posted. I read everywhere that buddypress 1.5 has this feature built in, but I’m running a clean buddypress 1.5.5 install using the default theme and this feature doesn’t seem to work. I’ve only tested this out by posting all the comments myself because I have no users yet.
