BuddyPress.org

What theme are you using?
What plugins do you have activated? Specifically plugins which deal with activity streams and/or comments e.g. Akismet, etc? Have you tried deactivating plugins except BuddyPress to check which is interfering with your updated install?

@FuriousCigars Sometimes the simplest things get overlooked.
As an alternative option: If you really want the pages to be as a child, creating a new page with the slug /community/ and putting them as a child of that page should work (it works here at bp.org).

Don’t sweat it. It’s understandable. i get frustrated alot too. Just remember that their are people here willing to help (sometimes, you just need to bump your topic afew times, because sometimes we miss topics when we sleep, and when it was posted early on in the night and hasn’t been bumped recently, we assume the issue’s been resolved.)

Go to dashboard menu > BuddyPress > Settings – click Yes radio button for “Restrict group creation to Site Admins”

yeah but i had issues. i tried to setup sitewide forums with buddypress but couldn’t fix it. i had so much issues to solve. heavy stuff for a beginner. why things could not work for me at the first time. that’s life! you get nothing without afford i can live with this issues for a while. i saw that there is another reported issue, if you have to much threaded, nested comments. not enough place for this kinda commis. whatever. thank you for your help and @kalengi too.

– WP/BP versions?
– Single WP or WP multisite?
– Shared hosting or VPS and above?
– Did you install WP manually or did you use webhost WP install script? The webhost scripts sometimes causes the server error when BuddyPress is activated.
– What theme are you using?
– What plugins do you have installed?

Is this for a WordPress blog comment or a BuddyPress activity comment / group comment / status update / anything BuddyPress?

If WordPress query the codex for params https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_avatar

`<?php
echo get_avatar
(
‘user-id-which-you-can-find-in-users-table-or-user-email’,
‘size-in-numeric-form’,
‘path-to-avatar-if-none-supplied-will-use-mystery-man,
‘alt-text-for-image-goes-between’
);
?>`

If it’s BuddyPress and you are using outside a loop then there are also parameters you can pass. However documentation here is a little sparser than the WordPress Codex.

Thinking something like this.

Still struggling to see how it would work for more than the 1st stage / 1st option directing to the xProfile Group associated with that.

Although that might be my lack of understanding the possible direction a user may take when building out their registration fields.

This interface might confuse users, Google + / Groups / BuddyPress / ahhh head aches.

Will probably opt in for a simple drop down on either side.

@marcella1981 +1 plugin

@marcella1981
I think a plugin would be a great addition to bp..I would believe more users would like to be able to create different registration profile fields for different users (dating sites, networking sites, job sites etc.,..that’s a good question..maybe something simple in the bp admin like the buddypress user account type plugin…or maybe is it possible to create the plugin as add on to the main Extended Profile Fields menu?

I wish I could be more of a help..
Cheers, Bojan

Hey @bojan85

Guess there is a small need for a plugin like this.

I’m trying to visualise how you would configure a plugin to meet the requirements you need and also any others like @davidveldt

Possible scenarios?

Multiple routes for registration depending on which items were selected at the “required” stage.

If this was to come “out the box” with BuddyPress, how would you expect to set this registration up within wp-admin / bp-admin?

Ping @johnjamesjacoby

Yes, Agreed. I have found posts about this going back 11 months and no one seems to see this as a serious detractor for Buddypress. A group centered plugin that is not actually focused on its members.
Anyone can see ALL public group activity whether they belong to the group or not. Simultaneously that same person cannot see any Private or Hidden Group activity even if they belong to the groups.

Activity should be for groups the person is a member of. Otherwise buddypress is just confusing.

Please let me know if there is a patch since this is really a bug.

Sorry to disappoint you, but no genius here

#2) I recall that issue. Add this to your theme’s stylesheet:
`#whats-new-options {
height: 30px;
}`
increase height as needed.

@marcella1981,

Hey Marcella, first of all thank you for taking the time to help us, What I am trying to do is very similar as david have two different registration forms depending if their user role is an athlete or coach. I have the regular Bp default theme with the frisco theme, and latest wp and bp.

I have been trying to figure it out for a couple days but cant seem to move forward..where in the register.php do i enter the php code and jquery script? I tried a couple different places..I have matched the group fields with the $roles array I’m guessing thats the only thing im doing right so far…

Sorry for the all the questions I am a beginner at all this..Any tips or help how to move forward would be greatly appreciated!

== What would that do? I just did it and I see no change. ==
The recommendation to upload another copy of page.php was due to the fact that the div class in pastebin.com for page.php was different from the div class I posted which resolved the layout issue.

== Shouldn’t there be a button to send public messages ==
Make sure you did not disable the JS for BP. Go to Appearance > BP Compatibilty. The checkboxes should be clear. i.e. unchecked.

== And when I try to change the colors on the navbar to match my theme color… it doesnt change them. ==
Whatever change you add to your theme’s stylesheet should override adminbar’s styles as the latter is enqueued before your theme’s stylesheet per code you posted for header.php in pastebin. It just might be that you have overlooked some/same selectors to override adminbar styles.

Hey @Marcella, 10 bucks is awesome! I can drink to BuddyPress and the possibilities it represents
