== another theme(travel blogger 1.3.5) i dont see the post button for activities to be updated. also with this theme , bp reports only 4 registered members instead of 10 ==
@onyekat I will assume you’re using this Travel Blogger theme https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/travel-blogger
Just activated the theme in my test install and I see the “Post” button in activity stream (plus all other buttons) and the correct number of members are showing up. But there is a problem I saw so far: although one can post status update in activity stream but comments/replies on an activity stream posts lead to 404 error page.There’s JS conflict between Travel Blogger and BP.
@modemlooper : Great! If you have any spare time I would appreciate it if you could give me some guidance here.
WordPress 3.2.1 Multisite
BuddyPress 1.5 (upgraded from 1.2)
Is there a file and a line that contains the number of characters that are printed out in a Status Update in the Activity Stream? I’d like to be able to see and read more of the updates without having to hit the “read more” link.
If so where is it, please?
I’m hardcoding, so the file name and location would be great!
Thanks
@johnnywallah see the difference between internal bbPress (group forums) and the bbPress plugin (sitewide forums) https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
Quick question. I host with Web Hosting Hub (cpanel, paid shared hosting, WP compatible) and have a root-level multi-site install (its using blogs.dir for uploads). WP version 3.2.1.
Can I run BuddyPress itself on my setup?
Also, I was told that WordPress is supposed to be creating generated thumbnails in wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2011/xx. I see all the original featured images there, but I am not seeing any generated thumbnail versions of those same images. I was told on BuddyPress to verify this before installing.
Any advice?
I installed BuddyPress but ran into some problems, so I deactivated it, deleted the files and dropped the database tables. I then re-installed it, but found that something must have remained because when I re-installed it and activated it, it didn’t offer to run the set-up, and the settings from before remained.
If I deactivated it, deleted it, and removed the database tables, what is left that I still need to remove to reset everything? Thanks.
Hi @modemlooper – I had come across your plug-in – maybe you can help me because I am not using the default theme so the buddypress menu isn’t there. Instead I have a jquery mega menu and I’d love to add the profile menu items to this. That would be ideal. Do you think this is possible?
Thank you Paul for the very prompt reply.
I take it you mean that if you run bbPress within BuddyPress, just leave it alone and it will be updated along with any new versions of BuddyPress as they come along – or use a new version of bbPress as a separate plugin.
I take it you cannot just drop bbPress 2.0.2 into the bbPress folder of BuddyPress and fire it up?
Thanks again.
bbPress 1.1 is bundled with BuddyPress 1.5.1. You don’t need to touch that version of bbPress, in terms of updating it. We’ll take care of any bbPress 1.x updates by bundling it with a new version of BuddyPress.
bbPress 2.x will run alongside BuddyPress — just activate the bbPress plugin as normal.
The current version of bbPress is 2.0.2
Which version is included in the 1.5.1 BuddyPress download and how do you update the bbPress component once it is installed and activated within BuddyPress?
Many thanks – I expect it is a stupid question.
This is not possible. I created a profile menu plugin. search WordPress.org for it
I’ve been having the same problem. I changed the fieldname to “Name” as Gossy suggested, and it fixed the problem.
Thanks @gossyomega1

I have made the MetalWeb community using buddypress.
I use only forums and have disabled the groups creation.
The design is done modyfing the defaul theme with a child theme.
The forum have been modified in the bbpress default theme
Ok after some more debbuging i found that the problems occurs when me or any other user visit another site different from the main site.
I have a copy of my website for development where i was unable to replicate the problem, but then i visited one of my sites (remember im running buddypress + wordpress mu) and as soon as i edit my profile i get the error and the field_1 get overwritted with the username.
My child sites are just twenty eleven sites where people can create their blogs. So not sure why if i move out of my buddypress main site i get the field_1 overwrited with the username.
Also if i check wp_user_meta nick_name first_name and last_name appears empty, so it looks like for some reason the problem also broke the field profile sync.
Once again if i edit and save the primary field, im able to edit it properly and the sync between bp and wp start working again until i move to a child site.
Im totally lost on what can be causing this problem. I tried to open a ticket on the bug tracker of buddypress but someone deleted it without even saying a reason.
i feel kinda alone on this community….
Anyone experienced with the Data Protection Act in Britain and how it relates to buddypress communities?
I have added buddypress to a wordpress theme and would like to add the buddpress links to the custom menu in the usual way of adding links to a menu, from the dashboard. But as the URI contains the name of the logged in user this does not seem possible – or is it?
Whilst I.m on the subject, if it needs special attention to install then there should be a clear barrier to installing it directly from the plugin page.
Thanks for the links @mercime. I have question for the Buddypress team – Why force people to do things that they are not qualified for? It would be better if BuddyPress were able to cope with webhost scripts instead of forcing a manual install of WordPress.
The reason we use WordPress is because we do not want or are not capable of all that techy stuff.
I’m using Buddypress and WordPress. 3 Profile Tabs should be showing under the user profile, Base (primary), Location and Gaming Profile. Unfortunately when you visit http://beta.saw-clan.net/members/saw_admin/profile/ only the Base (primary) group is showing. You can’t even edit it in Profile Edit Mode. Any ideas?
Hi,
On clicking ‘Add Friend’, I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_settings_slug() in /homepages/……/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-friends/bp-friends-notifications.php on line 17
and line 17 in the bp-friends-notifications.php says:
“$settings_link = bp_core_get_user_domain( $friend_id ) . bp_get_settings_slug() . ‘/notifications’;”
Also, going back a page the button then says “Friendship Requested” (but nothing shows up on the friends side!).
Does anyone know of such issues occuring, and how to fix it?
Thanks
Karmel
Hi, I have a wordpress MU install with buddypress and I’m using Achievements plugin. I can create an award, but when I hit ‘change picture’ the url looks right (/achievements/table-mountain/change-picture/), but the page renders the home page content?

Beautiful! Thank you so much 
in addition to above. if I delete the file buddypress.pot from the bp-languages folder completely the website still displays ok without it.
