Hi there,
1. By default BP is an open site – members page and any others will be publicly available. There’s a bunch of plugins that change this google buddypress privacy etc to find them.
2. Is this due to the member password not being recognised?
3. and 2. sound like you probably have a plugin conflict. try deactivating all other plugins and testing. It’s also worth switching to a default theme such as 2017 for this test.
4. Users are only listed in the members list after they have logged in at least once.
Hi, new in WordPress and Buddypress, Following some youtube tutorials, I have installed buddypress and configured it. Everything fine but I have few issues:
1. The Member page is shown whe users are logged in (which is fine) but also when users is logged out (this is the issue that I have. anyone (logged in or logged off) can see and access to the Member page.
2. When a user is registered, receive the e-mail and activate the account (in the WordPress dashboard the users shows as ACTIVE), then the user tries to access to the site using the user and password but get an error that the information is incorrect and is unable to access the site. Me as administrator I am the only one that can access the site.
3. if that user clic the “Forgot password” option, a message indicates that an e-mail was sent to the e-mail but is never received.
4. In the Member page, only my user is listed as active, even when the site has several active users.
I know there are several topics, but any help you can provide, will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Yep I’ve tested it and hidden groups are not displayed in the users group lists, neither with BP Legacy nor BP Nouveau.
Could you raise a bug report of Trac?

Hi,
I’m seeing a strange issue with Buddypress, that for each time a member signs in, their buddypress @name gets a -2 added to their name, e.g. @collegeadmin-2-2-2-2-2 – the same behaviour exists whether I use a default theme, e.g. twentyseventeen, or a BB theme, e.g. Kleo. Has anybody else encountered such behaviour and can you suggest a fix? We’re using the user’s Email as their username and using SAML SSO, if that makes any difference.
Many thanks,
Paul
I’m having the same issue. I have users who are members in hidden groups who no longer can see those groups. I know for sure it happened after the last BuddyPress update. I have three test sites one which hadn’t been updated in a bit. It once I updated BuddyPress, members of Hidden groups could no longer see those groups. I switched to the twenty-twelve them and de-activated most of the plugins to confirm the issue. I even resaved the permalinks. Admin accounts still see all their groups, members no longer see hidden groups. It does seem to be something within BuddyPress. Any suggestions @Venutius ?
Hello, while I’ve gotten the site to fail a registration with an incorrect number using what you suggested above, it doesn’t display any error message of sorts. My line is: $bp->signup->errors['invalid_number'] = __( 'Please enter a valid phone number', 'buddypress' ); This is in my bp-custom.php class, in the function that gets added to the hook bp_signup_validate, when an incorrect phone number is determined. The site properly fails a registration with an incorrect number, while allowing registration with a correct one, but it doesn’t display any error pop up at all, even though I included an error message of sorts with the latter half of the line. Is this a code issue, or could this potentially be a theme issue? I’m using the Spacious theme if this helps
Hello,
How I can adapt my theme for buddypress? I must do it because loading (nouveau) don’t working.
ok I understand though it could be clearer also on BP side, because for the login… they send to a WordPress login!
And all internet says that both bbPress and BuddyPress come from the same company!
I started by googling “free online forum platforms” and then saw there was a platform by wordpress… etc, and I finished here.
We have no relationship with wordpress.com, BuddyPress is a free plugin, available to anyone using a wordpress.org self hosted site. it’s the wordpress.com info that would need to tell you this, not BP.
But also in BuddyPress, they should say that intalling BuddyPress in wordpress is only for paid plans. I did not see it mentionned, so it seems possible to do for the free plans as well….
At least good to know that I cannot install BuddyPress… nobody says it is for paid sites!
they say it is free, but if I have to take a paid plan, then it is not free for me!
Thanks!
Ok ic.
But where are the settings for BuddyPress stored? DO you know?
My understanding is that uninstalling BuddyPress would not remove the settings, so the new copy would simply take on the old settings.
Plugins might be different, some of them delete their data, some don’t.
Hi.
Thank you so much for a detailed answer. I think I understand what you are saying. Other than installing buddypress, extra plugins and a theme we have not done any extra customisations to the functions.php.
So if i delete the buddypress plugin and the other plugins and the theme, I would get a quite clean start right?
If I do so. Is there any special steps I need to take on when installing buddypress and other plugins again to make sure the users info shos up again or does that automatically happen?
Regards
When you uninstall BuddyPress it does not delete the databases so reinstalling would not lose any data. However I don’t think that would help you very much if at all. Your issue will be with other plugins/customisations that have been added and these would not be removed just by reinstalling BuddyPress.
For a BuddyPress site there’s a few areas where a site can be customised:
By installing other plugins ( easily deactivated to remove those features)
By adding customised theme files in a child theme, in particular:
themes/child-theme/functions.php
themes/child-theme/buddypress/... – BuddyPress specific theme files that have been modified.
By adding a plugins/bp-custom.php file.
Any extra customisations in the functions.php file would have to be removed and the file re-saved to the child theme directory.
Files in the child-theme/buddypress directory structure can be isolated simply by changing their extension from php to old.
The bp-custom.php file can be isolated by changing it’s extension to .old
Anything in your child-theme directory would be ignored if you installed a new theme.
The rest is down to the configuration of the theme, BuddyPress and any other plugins you wish to use.
I could hardly arrive here… I have a free version wordPress site and cannot find where to download plugins, as I want to install a forum.
So I cannot install buddyPress nor bbPress!
I cannot even give my version of WordPress as I do not find where it is written… It is from december 2017.
And I could not even log in here with my log in informations from my WP site and had to recreate an account, so I dont even know if I have 2 accounts now, and why the BuddyPress site would not recognize my mail!
Quite discouraging as I used to run an SMF forum, so how much changed in 15 years?!!!
Hey forum.
I have some questions. I have a community site with about 600 users. As I have let another guy run the site over time its all messed up with the design, plugins, etc etc. And now it seems like to big of a job to revert everything step by step. I got lost.
So I am thinking about deleting everything and build an new interface, new buddypress install, theme etc. BUT, how do I make sure that users, their profile info, forum posts etc not get deleted. I am not fluent in how databases work, what is stored where etc?
Could any of you Buddypress troopers give me some advice to the steps needed to be taken and waht to be mindful of? Link to any resources etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Terjemk
Take a look at plugins/buddypress/bp-members/screens/register.php this is loaded when the register form is submitted. There’s a hook in there do_action( 'bp_signup_validate' ); which you could use to implement your own validation.
In there you can set `$bp->signup->errors for the error you want to display if the validation fails for that field.
You should definitely have some BuddyPress options in the Tools page, one of these options is to reinstall the BP Emails and selecting that often fixes this problem.
I don’t know if you found one but I found this recently: https://wbcomdesigns.com/downloads/buddypress-hashtags/
Hello,
I working on a custom template for activity loop, I want to display “add to favorite link”, “edit activity post”, “delete activity post” in the select box with 3 dots for each activity post on the top right corner like Facebook posts.
I am using a plugin for BuddyPress edit activity to add edit functionality, which has added edit option on activity meta beside the comment favorite section on each post. I want these options to be displayed and use in the select field on each post. All the activity options are added on the activity meta besides a comment, favorite. I want to display only like, comment, and share in activity meta area and all other options viz. “favorite”, “edit”, “delete” to be inside the select field.
I have made research to achieve this, but could not find resources, anybody please help me to achieve this.
Can not share the link as the files are on localhost.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Is this not a wordpress issue as opposed to something in BuddyPress, if you can see the extended profile link in the Users list, that’s the only link BP adds to this view, role settings are WordPress.
