Hello! I just installed wordpress and buddypress and I’m using the dynamiX theme. How I can make one of my menu items (home, about, contact, etc on non-buddypress websites) be named “profile” and have that send the user to their profile?
Im using Buddypress version 1.5.1.
I do not believe I have any membership plugins activated.
The only thing I am doing is limiting each user to a single blog, auto creating that blog without user interaction and then auto assigning that member to the main blog.
Edit: This is not happening to all of my members. Only recent ones, possibly after an upgrade of WordPress and Buddypress a few months back.
I’d also like to point out that the way the logged in user id renders, it seems to have gone wonky AFTER upgrading to BuddyPress 1.5.4. When we were running in earlier versions, the user id displayed perfectly. There is also added text now for the search feature (to the left of the user id) in the form of “Search these:” prior to the combo box where you can search ‘members’, ‘groups’ and ‘posts’. Not a major nit, but it does eat a bit into the horizontal space afforded in that subheader section.
@geogruven This is a default feature in Buddypress. Users can (should be able to?) join any public group via clicking the ‘join group’ button. Is it not working?
`<form name="login-form" class="mylogform" id="login-form" action="” method=”post”>
<input type="text" name="log" id="user_login" value="” onfocus=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ”;}” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ”;}” />
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="rememberme" id="rememberme" value="forever" title="” />
<input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" value="”/>
<input type="button" name="signup-submit" id="signup-submit" value="” onclick=”location.href=”” />
`
This seems to be the pertinent section. I added ‘test’ text in the template to narrow the focus, then added in the section immediately preceeding my findings to hopefully shed some light on the issue. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
note- the actual tag causing the issue seems to be ` `
ooo, found an answer, of course, a few more posts down:

Super admins can edit any member profile by default.
When logged in as the super admin, check out the BuddyBar at the top of the site, there should be an “Admin Options” menu when you’re on a member’s page. Hover over this menu, next click on “Edit username’s profile” to edit the full profile of the user in question.

For the “user notes” field, did a quick search to see if such a plugin existed, but could not find one. However, it shouldn’t be too hard to write such a plugin.
All you need to do is just create a cascading menu and assign it as the primary navigation in the BP-Default theme. 
I also incorporated one of the CSS patches from the Buddy Press Trac so the menus don’t entirely break in IE7/8.
EDIT: Just spent about an hour upgrading my bbPress themes to use the new table-less format of bbPress 2.1. Looks a lot better to boot.
Hi Yaron,
According to the 1.5 Lombardi release, this is possible: https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-5/ “Add ability for site admins to edit another user’s profile (#965).”
But as for how? I’d love to see an answer to that myself! There is no “edit” on the front end or and ability to see the BuddyPress user profile on the backend.
Can anyone help us out?
Hello guys,
I got multiple different WordPress blogs and Buddypress blogs and would like to share content and users data from WP-blogs with BP-blogs, so users don’t need to create lots of different accounts, passwords etc.
Is there a plugin that synchronizes content and users data from a WordPress blog with a Buddypress blog and vice versa? The WP-blog is the master and the BP-blog the slave.
@mercime I still can’t figure out how to get it on one line……
Here is header…

@shanebp yes, I have tried, nothing changed…
Hey guys,
We’re working on a project that’s utilizing BuddyPress as their backbone, and we’re curious if there’s any plugin available for each Group to have their own personal online store. Ideally, it would make use of some sort of chained payment system (PayPal?) so the main site could take a percentage of every sale.
I’m aware of MarketPlace…but it doesn’t seem that they offer this specific functionality (they suggest using WordPress multisite instead).
I’m curious if anyone here has utilized a similar system in a project, and if they could point us in the right direction. Thanks!
Hi
I have the newest wordpress, buddypress and s2member installed. When I integrate the s2member with registration, I don’t have the ‘activation key’ problem. But when it is not integrated, I have this problem.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for your reply,
but i don’t want to share on facebook or twitter etc.
i want to share within the site only like facebook share?
Thanks in Advance
First thing you can do is track down in the template a link that generates this type of output. BP Corporate is a premium theme (I think), and I don’t have a copy to look at. When you’ve found in the theme where this markup is being generated, you can paste the relevant part of the theme here so we can see how it’s being done, which will tell us whether it’s being done correctly or not — always a good starting point 
I don’t know if the bpfb short code is anything to do with BP Activity Plus or not, but it may be work contacting its authors directly for supporting and letting them know about the problems when viewing it in an RSS Feed. That’s not something we can fix in BuddyPress core (obviously).
Thanks for the feedback about the RSS feeds, I made a ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4082
I’m trying to make my buddypress install so that members can’t post html tags (specifically the iframe tag) into their activity feeds. This strikes me as being something of a security risk and I’m sure there’s a plug-in or setting somewhere, where I can block users from using HTML tags in their status updates. Could someone help me on this please?
Kindest Regards
Chris Were
Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your iFeature theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with: http://pastebin.com/h0RCY8rX
Updated 050812 — Simplified with right sidebar
`
<div class="post" id="post-“>
`
Save files.
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php): http://pastebin.com/yqnMPAQD
Updated: 050812 — Simplified with right sidebar
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php: http://pastebin.com/q7te52hk
Updated 050812 — Simplified with right sidebar
`
`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you revised up to your server wp-content/themes/ifeature/
D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ to the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust styles to taste after.
Sorry if I sound stupid, but I don´t know what to say now.
I can´t recall enabling registration anywhere – you mean WP settings or Buddypress settings? I haven´t found nothing related to this so far.
I have another sites in production, but linked to other accounts and hosted in different places. That´s a single WP site,
mercime,
Thank you for your feedback. I went through the criteria for steps before installing and I fit the bill as far as the criteria to check before activating BuddyPress. Everything was working beautifully until I migrated my site to a Dedicated server. As far as other functionality, everything else works with ease and to be expected with BuddyPress.
I “soft launched” my site yesterday and have about 20 or so users, so it’s not a problem. But if you recommend anything, that would be great.
In the interim, I am going to reinstall first, the buddypress and deactivate the additional plugins that push buddypress to see if there is a plugin that isn’t playing nicely. Also, please feel free to take a look around (“the strength” is my friends list and “beerstrong activity” is the activity list”) and perhaps you may notice the way it’s behaving, if there’s an issue.

I appreciate your patience with me. Thank you.
I’ve got bbpress as the forum for my wordpress installation on localhost.
I’ve created a new page and inserted the bbcode to show the forum index in that page (page name is “forums”).
In my navigation I have “Forums” and when i click it and it is the active page, it does not receive a “current_page_item” class from the navigation.
How can I make it have the “current_page_item” class when it is selected?
While I am using Buddypress, I do not have a page associated in buddypress with my bbpress forums because it causes the forums to not function when i do associate a page.
No Luck, buddypress said that it was a wordpress to server issue. but my server company is saying that the gd library is installed and working fine. So i dunno
Sorry for the post bump, but I never got a response…..
