I have installed buddypress at my wordpress site at http://schoolofeducators.com/ .
With all other themes in wordpress at reading tab option we can customize 10 ( x ) blogs posts to appear on front page . these posts are in summary form and only first post is open. In my latest upgradation to buddypress all the posts on home page are opened ( last 10 ) posts. I want only latest post to be opened and all other 9 posts to be in summary form i.e. read more option or heading only.
how to do it. please help.
I’m using a Private Buddypress plugin to lock down a site and I only have the login and register page accessible to unauthenticated users however I just realised that the widgets I have showing recently uploaded documents is visible on the register page and these documents can be clicked on and viewed without logging in.
How can I prevent any widgets being displayed on that specific page?
Some of my users Avatars are not syncing with the Facebook login and I wonder if this means that WordPress is not syncing with Buddypress, even though I have the Disable sync set to No. Could this be the case or is this a bad assumption? I don’t understand how they could have two different avatars, but I haven’t yet looked in the database.
Tell us what you did try? Using Firebug, you can grab the CSS elements and place them in your child theme, then change what you want. Of course, you may not always know that you have the right element, but you can tell if Buddypress is seeing it or not, through Firebug. How well do you know CSS? Have you looked at tutorials?
Switch to the default theme. Buddypress will be happiest with this as a starting point. Once you have things working with the default theme, then you can switch themes. As far as Registration and Activation pages go, when you ran the Wizard, weren’t you asked to just create the pages, Register and Activate? You would then associate them with those pages in the Buddypress Admin area.
I have tried to use some WP plug-ins to customize the registration page, the confirmation email and the verification page, but BuddyPress seems to ignore this. Is there a way to make these changes with BuddyPress, as I don’t see any plug-in for BP that will handle this?
Thanks
Hans
How can I make it so when you upload one or more pics, on the activity stream the pics arent stacked, theyre side by side, like in the plugin screenshots
thanks
@jmk10276 in buddypress 1.6 their will be Akismet integration built into buddypress, which will help kill the activity spam. https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
Their isn’t really any spam protection plugins for buddypress available right now though,
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-labs/ is the plugin that the 1.6 core akismet-intergration is based on, but as the plugin page states “all experiments are in beta, and come with no guarantees.”
Another option might be to use a captcha plugin to kill them at the registration page – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/
I’m just going to go back to my other theme and wait for an answer to this https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddy-press-search-options/
Considering I still had the same problem in a buddypress theme. At least my other theme shows excerpts on blog post page with thumbnails
I have another site with a current multisite install, using that exact permalink structure with absolutely no problems. These issues only happen when activating BuddyPress. Once it’s activated, the only alternative is to reinstall the whole site without BuddyPress… unless there is a solution.
Why would the permalinks be fine under a multisite install but not work when using BuddyPress?
@mercime< I see nothing in the reference you gave that indicates a problem or a solution to what I'm running into. Do you have a suggested permalink format that will produce the url followed by the blogname followed by the pagename under BuddyPress?
I even changed to a buddypress theme and am still having this issue. The profile fields are not showing on the search option form.
Hi all,
I’m running WP 3.3.1 and BP 2.0.2 locally for the preparation of my future website.
I ask a quick question about a group forum.
Is it possible to allow subscribers to access the site in the forum of a group but just read?
I use the plugin ‘BuddyPress Rate Posts Forum “, as a result I would like that subscribers can vote but can not write.
Is that possible?
(scuse for my bad english:))
thank you
I have created a file called bp-custom and placed into plugins folder. In this file I’ve pasted all the settings from https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
Then I’ve figured out that these lines were the problem:
`define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );`
`define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );`
I commented out the lines and the profile pages came back!
Hope this can help you.

Hello, I am using Buddypress with my WordPress and also Fan Page Pro. When someone views fan page tab and are logged into my site the admin bar is shown. I was wondering if there was a plugin, shortcode, or anything where I can turn off the admin bar on pages or posts I dont want it on.
Hi everyone. I’m new to setting up Buddypress, and am happy to say that people are already joining my new community. I’ve got a couple newbie type questions:
(1) Why do I want to know when a member updates their profile picture, and when members friend each other?
(2) How do I disable those two streams (if I want to–it may not be a good idea to do so).
Thanks
I checked all your suggestions. The problem persists: You can see what is happening at:
http://www.preview-classes.com
1) Looks like I mistyped the permalinks settings in the forum post: It actually reads: /blog/%pagename%/ So, I don’t think that’s it.
2) It’s set up for subfolders with multisite, not subdomains. The config.php file has these lines added, just above “that’s all…”: It’s set up right, since it has ‘define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );’
‘define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘preview-classes.com’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );’
3) I deactivated BuddyPress. Activated twentyeleven. Went to site. Problem persists. The home page shows the twentyeleven theme, with the page names from the BuddyPress Pages on the horizontal menu. Click any page: and there is an Error 404, page not found.
Anyone out there got the solution?
Look in wp-admin, in BuddyPress > Components. Is “Settings” disabled?
@r-a-y is correct about 2.
Whatever I do I just can’t get this avatar crop function running.
The images cropping function on wordpress is working fine.
My theme is not a buddypress theme but everything else is running perfectly apart from this crop function.
I have 2 images showing up and the crop is systematically taking the upper left corner.
I changed my CHMOD, applied at least 5 recipees found on the web but nothing goes. Really desperate.
I know I am not the only one facing this issue so any help is welcome.
Thank you
Hi!
I’m new with Buddypress and has installed it in a MU installation (buddypress is not the main site). I’ve created 3 user accounts and I can see all three at the members page.
http://wisp.julianamoreira.se/clubofthefuture/members/
The problem is that when I choose to see one of the profiles, it shows nothing. And I’m logged in! http://wisp.julianamoreira.se/clubofthefuture/omis/ (you can try to register yourself and see what I see – or not see! :p )
The page loads as usual (header, sidebar) but the only thing its shows is a h2-tag called Members and an edit link that takes me to the page members. 
In my buddypress settings “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” is set to NO, if you is wondering. 
I don’t know what I can do anymore. I’ve looked everywhere on the forum and elsewhere and haven’t found any help.
Config. WP 3.3.1 and buddypress 1.5.3.1
