@abysshorror, tried that. Nothing happened.
I then went directly into plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-template.php line 301 and changed ‘per_page’ default from 20 to 5, just to see what would happen. It shows 5 items in the stream with the Load More button. But when you click on the button, nothing else loads.
I put the bottom of my style.css file into pastebin… http://pastebin.com/qjLUthgP
Is that the right way to add in the buddypress codes?
Thanks.
Yes everything went good with that. I was trying to get the sidebar in the right place. But my register page is not working. When I click register it brings me back to the home page of my website. I need to change the link so the register page is associated with the BuddyPress register page. From my understanding that was step 2 of the setup.
The question is self explaining. I want to add Country and City to the profile fields of members. The problem is that both of the fields require list of countries and cities. It’s impossible to do it manually.
How do I get it working. Is there any script that can generate the list for the above fields?
I have installed the pluging and it changeed the @name as it should. but the old links to the member page stoped working. is there any way you can change the whole usernamne and @name so the old links stil works?
I followed the complete documentation in buddypress codex while installing buddypress and read a lot of discussion forums about this issue of sitewide forum activity not displaying in buddypress activity stream, but I am still not able to fix this issue.
I have created several forums, added seven forums posts but none of them appearing in my activity stream. Even I updated my profile after adding new profile fields and that too isn’t appearing in the activity stream.
The sitewide forum is located at http://www.environmentabout.com/community/forums and buddypress activity at http://www.environmentabout.com/community/activity
== The text in the buddypress shows invisible in the text box plus theres no enter button ==
That doesn’t happen with bp-default theme. What theme are you using? Have you contacted theme developer?
The text in the buddypress shows invisible in the text box plus theres no enter button and I need a plug-in so members can more customize there profile
THANK YOU!!!
You can use some or all of the style modifications done with BP Twenty Ten and add those to your theme’s style.css file https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
== I’m supposed to do is copy and paste the code onto the very end of my style.css, right? ==
Yes. I checked your theme’s style.css file and the style modifications are not there.
The issue could be a theme-specific one. After creating a network and installing BP, you should change to bp-default theme to make sure that BP components are working before using a custom BuddyPress theme. If issue is corrected after changing to bp-default theme, then you should post at theme developers’ site or check out latest theme version in github https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community
Yes the https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ plugin changes the from mail with a user or a specified email as aces said above.
Seems my issue was I installed a Private Community plugin did not even activate it and it created a problem with buddypress sending out the email
As soon as I removed the plugin the issue was resolved. I need only add my categories, social login and bingo we are up and running.
Love WordPress 
Actually I think this could also be related to a bug in the way BP handles breaking down the domain to build the from email address.
for instance my WP URL does not include the WWW.
and I have tried fresh installs on servers where the SMTP is known to be set up correctly and activation emails stop working once BP is installed, no other plugins installed either.
In order to get my emails from buddypress to work (including the activation email) I had to add this to my functions.php to explicitly set my “from” address.
`
//Fix Email issue
function fix_bp_core_email_from_address_filter() {
return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_email_from_address_filter’, ‘noreply@yoururl.com’);
}
add_filter( ‘wp_mail_from’, ‘fix_bp_core_email_from_address_filter’ );`
be sure to change “yoururl.com” with your actual URL.
This has been working for me, so far.
Thanks much I found out what it was. I put a plugin that was not compatible or tested with current versions.
My Bad I should have known better 
I will check into the other things as well.
I already have mail-from I will get the others as well can only help in the future.
Thanks Again.
Sometimes the email gets stuck in spam or junk filters.
To get email working, some web hosts require an extra wordpress plugin, such as:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/
wp-mail-smtp and configure-smtp can send a test email which often provides useful debug information!
This is a frequently discussed issue here and people have found all three different plugins useful – there may be others.
Please check your host’s knowledge base or faq for further information….
For what ever reason I am not getting the activation emails for my buddypress. It is the current version 1.5.4 Is their a plugin fix for this. The site install and setup was flawless. I read a little about this issue but i am having a hard time finding the solutions. Thanks to all whom have experience with this and reply with a solution.
Using the Display Name, in BuddyPress Profile Fields, does not save the information to the WordPress User Edit section.
When I’m using BuddyPress and I edit a member profile name, it does not save and display the new name. It only displays the name that the user (or I) logs in with. No matter how many times I edit the profile name in the BuddyPress profile settings, it will not save.
However, when I edit the User via the WordPress Edit User, I can save the name correctly so that it doesn’t display the login name. But, if I go back and edit the BuddyPress Profile settings to change the name again, it reverts back to the login name and will not save or maintain the previous changes.
This is not secure/safe as everyone can see the login name and only have to guess the password to login to other peoples accounts.
Is BuddyPress, by default, not supposed to show a “Nickname” rather only show the login name? I’ve been trying to figure this out for hours and my brain is finally fried, so I figured to post this here.
Hi, I am using the latest wordpress 3.3.1 and buddypress 1.5 releases I’ve looked through the plugins and hacks but couldnt find anything specific that could modify the author-box fields. Currently default display is:
1. Avatar
2. by
What I wanted to do was add additional fields from the BuddyPress profile to display in the author box. I was able to update the members profile page successfully using http://bp-tricks.com/snippets/displaying-certain-profile-fields-on-your-members-profile-page/ but when I try the same code in the author-box it didnt work. Any suggestions or plugins that will do the trick?
I have a custom WP theme that I am trying to integrate with BuddyPress. I ran the Compatibility plugin and everything seemed to work out okay. I created a new child theme and referenced the bp-default theme, and transferred all my original theme files to the new child theme folder.
Most of my styling seems to be working right, and my previously created pages are present. However, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to edit the layout and structure of the BP-specific pages, such as the profile page. I need to edit the template so I can customize my setup.
How do I edit the profile page layout?
@boonebgorges I’ve tried and it worked but I didn’t have in mind that mentions also use html to link to users, so using strip_tags is also removing that ``.
I’d like to allow @mentions and links but not the explicit use of ``. Would that be possible ?
Thanks again !
Okay Sorry Guys Just Solved LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Thanks for all of the help, mercime. I got it pretty much all sorted out thanks to your awesome assistance! 
One more thing… I added those tweaks to the end of my style.css for the boulevard theme, but did not see any difference take effect. 
All I’m supposed to do is copy and paste the code onto the very end of my style.css, right?
Thanks again,
Neodoxa
How to you enable registration so people can register? I am using the Evolution theme by Elegant Themes. It is not BuddyPress compatible but I would assume people can still register and use BuddyPress?
