Another plugin is the path of least resistance if you don’t know how to code, don’t want to learn and don’t have a developer.
Adding the lost-password link is easy.
Just use one of the action hooks in the class for that widget.
I suggest you use this hook: do_action( 'bp_login_widget_form' );
For the hook context, see this file:
buddypress\bp-core\classes\class-bp-core-login-widget.php
If you don’t know how to code, share the hook info with your developer.
Are you using BP Nouveau? Are you using Cover-images?
if so you would need to overload the plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php file:
1. Setup a child theme.
2. make a copy of cover-image-header.php
3. Edit line 23 of cover-image-header.php as follows:
Current:
<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></h2>
edited:
<h2 class="user-name"><?php bp_core_get_username( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?></h2>
4. place your edited copy of cover-image-header.php in themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single
Have you ruled out conflicts with other plugins or your theme?
In a vanilla install this feature works so it’s reasonable to suppose there’s something in your specific configuration that is preventing this functionality.
Try deactivating all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and switching to a default theme such as 2019.
Have you investigated other login widgets that have this feature? For example https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-sidebar-widget/
The alternative is to raise a feature request on Trac https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
Hi I use the Buddypress widget login on my site.
I’m using the latest Buddypress & WordPress version.
It doesn’t have a lost password link, how can I add this?
What else do I need to do to set this up? Is there a form accessible for this in buddy press?
Thank you.

I develop a site. Where I use Buddypress plugin for User profile. When I visit any user individual profile in the beginning of the profile it shows user username. But I want to show the Name of the user there instead of username.
I’m hoping that there is an easy answer to this.
Here is the Screenshot of the problem and what i want shown there.
Try downloading the latest version from here:

Hi there, thank you so much. It seems there is a bug in the buddypress follow plugin. It was updated 3 years ago and is not completely working now. When i follow another user an error page comes up front (although following the user does happen). Are there any codes or anyway to correct this problem? Thank you. Please reply.
BuddyPress does not come with that option, it must be added by something else I’m afraid.
ONe option is to overload the buddypress css by creating a file in themes/buddypress/css/buddypress.min.css you could then choose not to add any bp css styling to those elements.
What you could to is overload buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/groups/single/cover-image-header.php line 58 to be as follows:
<?php if ( bp_is_group_home() && ! bp_nouveau_groups_front_page_description() && bp_nouveau_group_has_meta( 'description' ) ) : ?>
Hi
Please help me how I can take a print of BuddyPress user profiles or save them as a pdf from the backend or frontend. Thanks in advance

Okay, turns out the entire problem was solved by simply deactivating the “Automatically check for new items while viewing the activity stream” buddypress setting.
It was effectively the same issue as in this thread https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-js-not-loading/
Do you still want to use private messaging?
If not, simply turn off the Messaging component in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress
Hi guys,
Just set up buddypress and everything works great. Email sends well after setting up the SMTP and I can get the activation link.
The problem I have is that after I activate an account, I get this message:
“Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in with the username and password you provided when you signed up.”
where log in sends you to “wp-login.php?redirect_to”
I have created a separated login page (/login) and I would like to send users there. I see no option to select my /login page as my way of authentication.
Is it possible to know a fix or even the filename.php where the redirect happens such that I change it manually?
Thanks.
Hi
I have the last version of wordpress and buddypress but our site is not visible (its private)
You can only see the home page http://www.test2.allianceschlumberger.org
I would like to replace the username by the first name and last name in the forums but also in the email notifications..how can i do it ? i didnt find a valid solution
I have WP 5.2.1, BP 4.3.0, PHP 7.3.5, GhostPool Aardvark Theme 3.5
I can create groups, but when I click on the group, it never opens and I get a white page.
I have tried deactivating plugins, didn’t resolve issue.
In error logs I have this:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function bp_nouveau_group_meta() in /home4/bandarro/public_html/wp-content/themes/aardvark/buddypress/groups/single/group-header.php:24

Sorry for the error code dump. According the admins of wpengine there is no minification implemented.
The theme I am using (woffice) uses BuddyPress and has thousands of installs that work just fine. This error occurs with nothing but a fresh install of the theme and no other plugins.
Any other thoughts? To me it seems that there is some interaction between BuddyPress code and wpengine, but I really don’t have the technical background to figure it out.
i am afraid i’m not a coder really, more a copy & paste coder!
if you just google (say) – example of a buddypress group home page
i am sure you’ll come up with a guide to making group home pages that’s if you are going down the Codex Link route
I finally have a follow up on this issue.
I’ve been in touch with the NADI Plugin Developer about the “Only Me” fields being visible to anyone viewing a user’s profile page. After explaining the issue and providing some of our user data to them, this was their reply:
The source of this issue resides in buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-functions.php :: bp_xprofile_get_fields_by_visibility_levels(): If the user or administrator has not explicitly saved a profile, the wp_usermeta attribute “bp_xprofile_visibility_levels” is empty. This is the case after a NADI import of a new or already existing user happens.
With the attribute ‘bp_xprofile_visibility_levels‘ being empty, the default visibility an administrator has configured won’t get applied.
These are my argument why BuddyPress should apply the attached fix:
- From a developer point of view, it is not intuitive that the default visibility settings are not applied if the user’s profile has not been previously saved.
- From an administrator’s point of view, the current solution allocates unnecessary hard disk space. My integration database contains 10.000 user, which is a realistic user base size for the NADI plug-in. Alone for the unnecessary default visibility settings around 4 Mbyte have to be allocated. To be fair, NADI also uses duplicate data to work with BuddyPress.
From my point of view as a NADI developer:
- Importing 10.000 users already takes a long time. Explicitly calling BuddyPress’ save methods would result in additional SQL queries which I would like to avoid
- bp_xprofile_get_fields_by_visibility_levels is not a hook, so I can’t apply the patch in our plug-in
They are recommending this issue be addressed in the core BuddyPress files, specifically in the bp-xprofile-functions.php file. They provided me with a file containing proposed code changes, though this modified file with an attempt to fix did not specifically for me in my environment. I’m not sure how to provide it to you for your consideration/review since there is no attachment facility on this forum.
There’s a number of plugins that allow moderation, it’s not a feature built into BuddyPress by default.
for example – https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-toolkit/
Hello,
I’m working on my WordPress web site and I want to import groups (with groups type as possible) with a csv file or other I can create. The file will come from another database in which I have a lot of data, and I want to transform that data in groups.
I’m working on the theme BuddyBoss with BuddyPress.
Does someone know how to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Felix
Figured it out! There was a conflict with my PMPro plug-in. I had a setting enabled which only allowed registered members to view Buddypress pages.
Hello! I’m brand new to Buddypress and WordPress. I’ve set up a site but I can’t View any of my Buddypress pages. I am being redirected to the Access Restricted page. I have checked that none of the pages are Private or Password Restricted. Further, I am set up as an Admin and Keymaster on my site. Any suggestions for how to troubleshoot? Thank you!
