Ok, so I think I am still experiencing the CSS issue on page editing screens because I am developing a child theme of bp-default. I updated the functions.php file as provided on the ticket but am I supposed to alter my child theme functions.php file? I have no idea how that would go. Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree? Please help! 
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111102’;
// Register main stylesheet
wp_register_style( ‘child-theme’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue main stylesheet
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-theme’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );
endif;`
I’m using WHMCS Bridge which creates a new user when somebody signs up to WHMCS.
This is great, but because it uses the email as the signup name, which can easily be changed to whatever the user wants, the @name given is pretty much the email address (such as @userdomain-com).
This isn’t good as it is giving spammers a field day, being able to figure out so many email addresses on the site.
Is there a way to either use only the first X amount of characters in the user name or, better still, giving the user the option to change the @name, even if they can only do it one time.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Joe
The error happens even if it is a new group or existing and after toggling the enable forum. I’ve had so many problems installing BP I’m starting to wonder if it will work.
@flynxify – Yes, I want two kinds of groups.
1. Normal groups
2. Businesses groups
I thought I posted yesterday, but appears my post is gone now. I got BP to work, but not the forums portion of the groups. I get this message:
Warning: fopen(
inetpubchildplusforum/bb-config.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in
inetpubchildplusforumwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-forumsbp-forums-admin.php on line 342
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in
inetpubchildplusforumwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-forumsbp-forums-admin.php on line 349
What do the permissions need to be?
I’d like to set some threshold of activity on my BuddyPress site after which users would automatically be upgraded to Author privileges. Is there some combination of plugins and settings that could do that? Or do I have to monitor all users and do it manually?
I don’t exactly need fake accounts, but the idea is this:
We have products which each have a unique ID (imagine something like 001,002,002). We want the user to go to their blank profile and fill in the information themself when they visit oursite.com/001. So we want to integrate the unique IDs with their BuddyPress profiles. Hence the blank profiles and random URLs
I’ll check it out. In the future do not open more than one support request for the same issue. If somebody hasn’t responded to you first post after 24 hours then post a reply to the original post and it will move back to the top of the forum.
Use BuddyPress Default Data plugin
Hi all,
Is there any plugin I can use to autogenerate blank member profiles with a default password and a randomized URL? I’m using the latest versions of WordPress and Buddypress.
Best,

Hi, How to disable user to post blog post, as well as hide the ‘Dashboard” at the top of the nav bar. I installed buddypress in a single site and don’t want user to access to the Dashboard besides the admin. Even by setting the user’s role as member, they still can write a post and pass to admin to review. I don’t want this, I need the member totally stay out of the dashboard.
Is this achievable?
Script installers are plagued with problems, I would avoid it if you can.
I just noticed a similar problem: buddypress and child theme (no multisite), and when I upgraded to 1.5 my language customizations in bp-languages/buddypress-my_site.po stopped displaying.
I had define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘my_site’ ); set in plugins/bp-custom.php, but I found I also had to set
define(‘WPLANG’, ‘my_site’); in the wp-config.php file
In buddypress 1.2.8 just setting the language in bp-custom.php had been sufficient. Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.
need help please with the menu on buddypress widget theme. here is my site – http://nexneurocare.com – can you tell me where to fix the css to make the menu nav behave? thanks a lot. paul L
wordpress 3.2.1, buddypress 1.5.1
@rodtrent new Custom Community 1.8.8 is not yet out in WP repo but available at https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community – this version is compatible with WP 3.2.1
Btw, BuddyPress 1.5.2 for WP 3.3 is out now https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/
http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/restrict-usernames/ has support for BuddyPress
I have not checked it yet with WP 3.3 though.
As long as the scripted installer does everything correctly, it’ll be fine.
Hi. I’m new to it all, just got WordPress working, and now I have a second domain for another install of WordPress that I hope to be a BuddyPress site. I read somewhere (can’t recall where) that I should be installing and configuring WordPress manually if I am going to add BuddyPress, and not using my host’s automated WordrPress installer script. Not something I’m completely comfortable with (the script did it correctly for WordPress install on my other blog). Is this the case? Or does experience say it doesn’t matter (using softaculous script).
Thanks!
Heres another one when you leave a comment
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_settings_slug() in /hermes/bosweb26d/b1249/ipg.krugersightingscom/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-notifications.php on line 143
WP 3.2.1. I’m holding off on WP 3.3 until a maintenance release of BuddyPress is released. BP is on 1.5.1.
Not on the BP-default theme. Using Custom Community Pro by ThemeKraft. Everything else works fine.
We host with Orcsweb and it’s a standalone server (not shared).
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I updated functions.php using the file given in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3849 but it hasn’t fixed the issue on page editing screens. I first tried pasting the code in manually, then I tried uploading the provided file found on the ticket. Am I missing something?
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );
There’s a way to avoid the password regeneration when activate a user?
Im using the “User Activation Keys” to allow admin to activate the user.
When the user is activated the password he puts in the buddypress form its regenerate in wp-active.php script, and i want to avoid this
Thank you
Hi Guys
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
