I’m looking to hire someone to install buddypress on my website. The theme is from Elegant Themes. Can anyone point me towards where to find this kind of help?
Thank you
Maybe not exactly what you’re going for, but you might want to think about using the Welcome Pack Plugin for Buddypress. You can create a section on a “start page” about uploading picture. Other then that, I don’t believe there is anything that will constantly remind a user at the time.
I am using Buddypress for my church’s website and since some of the website users will be older and need have Buddypress explained, I was wondering if anyone has or could wright up a how to user buddypress on the user end of the system. I personally know how to use the admin side quiet well.
But this has to be simply enough for anyone to understand.
So I was wondering i was wondering if anyone could help me out with this?
It would have to explain the profile system, email system, activity, etc.
I would like to thank you mercime, with the help of you and the theme developer, BuddyPress does work on my theme now. Thank you.
I was trying to use configure-smtp but it was generating error codes, so it was not working either way.
I hadn’t found that post, but it would probably would have done the trick.
As noted below, I now have it working with configure-smtp, but, is there a reason you like WP Mail SMTP over configure-smpt?
Many thanks,
Rory
Solved.
I needed to use the Configure SMTP plugin, but leave the default SMPT host at “local host”.
I needed to spend more time searching the error codes I was getting. That google search lead me to a post at http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/installing-mu-plugins

Solved now – The hosting company told me to swap outgoing mail server from “host111.hostmonster.com” to “localhost’ and now seems to be working.
Thanks tremendously for all your help @Ulrich and others….
It’s not easy being green.

I am having nothing but problems with bbPress and BuddyPress and have been unable to troubleshoot it with help from this forum:
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddy-press-forums-not-working/?#post-122569
Is it possible to use another forum with BuddyPress without having people sign up twice?
BuddyPress’ database tables aren’t set up to work like this. It’d be extremely hacky and fiddly to try to do.
Hi there,
I’m fairly new to WP and am very new to BuddyPress.
I’m looking to set up a membership site as follows:
Members profiles are public – like a talent agency functionality where they can set up and manage their own simple profiles.
Memebers can copmmunicate directly with one another through forums, messages etc – I’m pretty sure BP accomplishes all this.
My question is does it allow me to have the profiles public?
Thanks,
Mark
Hello,
I working on a simple forums website using buddypress and I would like to add a simple wysiwyg editor to the forums so logged in users can add some basic styling to their posts.
I tried using the plugin bpCKEditor and I couldn’t get it to load.
Anyone have any experience with this?
I too have the same issue. I have Buddypress 1.5.3, WP 3.3.1 and BP Social 1.2.4. When we reply in the activity stream it gives me error 404.
Anyone tried to update BP to 2.5.4 to see if it resolves the issue? Is it theme related? How can I fix this? It’s crippling my user’s willingness to use the site: we rely on replies and comments to build common knowledge on projects !!!
Have installed BuddyPress at http://www.businessnetworkingafterwork.co.uk
All functions appear to work with correct URL’s and pages loading corectly. However the breadcrumb trail displayed at the top of each BB component page shows they are linked to a particular blog, rather than the home page as suggested by the URL displayed in the browser.
What can be done to remedy this?
Secondly there are spurious lines running across the Buddy Press component page headings. How can I remove these, please.
Please advise.
I found this script at, http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/15444/is-there-an-easy-way-to-move-the-wp-admin-bar-to-my-own-location
I’ve tried to implement it though I’m not having much luck. Should I be changing anything within which would allow buddypress to use it?
function wpse15444_wp_print_scripts()
{
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
wp_enqueue_script( ‘wpse-15444’, plugins_url( ‘wpse-15444.js’, __FILE__ ), array( ‘jquery’ ), false, true );
}
}
// wpse-15444.js
jQuery( window ).load( function() {
jQuery( ‘#wpadminbar’ ).appendTo( jQuery( ‘#wpse15444-admin-bar-container’ ) );
} );
If you are using configure-smtp then, from what I can see, it will be sending via smtp not php.
Have you tried using WP Mail SMTP? It can send via php…
The last post on https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/register-confirmationactivation-email-is-not-sent-out/ might be useful (If you hadn’t already found it)…
Hey Guys!
I need to install BuddyPress as a secondary blog of my WPMU network, ’cause my project is based in a WPMU blogs network, but I want the social integration too, like when I make a new post in one of the WPMU blogs, that post appears at my Activity Stream.
I need this like I can set one theme to the main site and another theme to the buddypress installation.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Derek
@mercime Ok, we’re getting there! We are relative novices at this.
(might also be useful for @clubugly)
We have copied the contents of wp-config.php + bb-config.php via FTP
See it here: [deleted]
Are you suggesting we copy the contents of wp-config.php and overwrite the contents of bb-config.php?
Thanks
Hi @sbrajesh
Sorry to hound you like this but I wondered if you had an ideas on what I’m trying to achieve?
Appreciate any suggestions
Many thanks
I have a sports club website, with quite a few members. Is it possible to use Buddypress to establish a clean overview over all members, with custom fields where I can add payment status for each membership, and even send out invoices (with attachment) to all members? Can I use a specific plugin for these features?
Thanks!
I’m trying to change the name field of extended profile. But it always shows the username instead. This didn’t happen on 1.5.1, but started right after I upgraded to 1.5.4.
I also tried selecting both yes and no a few times on the configuration where it asks to sync wordpress profile to buddypress, but this didn’t solve the problem yet.
I use a plugin to do this; it’s called “BuddyPress Auto Group Join” and it works well.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-auto-group-join/home/
How I can customized the component in buddypress ?
I’m facing exactly the same problem as reported here on version 1.5.4 and WP 3.3.1.
http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3990
Notification says changes are made properly, but no matter how many times I try the name field is never changed.
Is there anyone who solved this problem before?
== Is there a way to find out the basic requirements for BP? ==
See system and server requirements plus WP configuration at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/
@glepage could you clarify further re what you mean by BP Template pack doesn’t work? Maybe I should have more explicit, you need to activate BuddyPress plugin first.
As for Twenty Ten, we have a codex article on how to make it compatible with BuddyPress at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/
You can check out the code that deals with the dropdown list from line 93 thru line 130 of the activity index file of the bp-default theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php#L130
