This method suggested by danbp works:
help with default activity stream tab
By the looks of things you are trying to change the colours of the profile fields, so something like:
.profile-fields {
color: blue;
}
Should work
However something more specific is sometimes required, such as:
#buddypress table.profile-fields {
color: blue;
}
Hi there,
I am creating a trade site where members of an industry can share advice, recommendations etc.
Just wondering if anyones aware of a way for buddypress user profiles to have an embedded google maps for their profiles? To show the businesses location on profile?
Thanks,
Marc.
These are the support forums for BuddyPress.
You have a better chance of getting an answer if you use the support forum for Buddypress Group Email Subscription .
If you are good with html, css and php, you can overload BP themes and make changes.
afaik, you can do the same with bbPress templates for forums, but you should ask on their support forums.
Hello there 🙂
I would like to change what is shown per default in the sitewide activity stream. I only want to show new posts, new topics and new replies in forums.
I already installed the plugin “BuddyPress Activity Filter” and tried to hide all things like new friendships, new profile picture and so on. But it still shows everything on the activity page.
Any idea, what the problem is and how I could change it?
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
I am working on one of my website, using buddy press installed on localhost with wordpress latest version 5.1.1, but the register page of the buddy press is not working, after submitting sign up form nothing happens, and redirects to home page. I am troubleshooting and searching the solution in the forum too. But didn’t get any fix.
I have tried new fresh installation of wordpress with buddy press installation, no other plugin activated instead of buddypress and the twenty seventeen theme activated, but still facing same issue.
Please help me with the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Yep, done that.
I THINK I’ve resolved the problem temporarily by using add_filter( ‘bp_email_use_wp_mail’, ‘__return_true’ ); in my functions.php, but I’m not sure that should be needed.
Separately I’m also using the Buddypress Group Subscription Email plugin and some of the (default) emails in that, such as digests and new activity emails, are still not sending. The Buddypress Core ones are however.
Oh, maybe the creation of buddypress in shortcode would solve many problems. :/
I’d try reinstalling the BP emails ( admin>>Tools>>BuddyPress ).
Typically the way to do this would be to overload the members page (buddypress/bp-template/bp-theme/members/members-loop.php) and at your code to display the field excerpt.
There’s quite a few shortcodes available for BuddyPress but I don’t thank all of them together would allow you to recreate the BuddyPress pages.
Hello again. I want to know if there a chance to make site with buddypress in shortcodes? I saw, buddypress working standalone, but theme creator not answering and the only way to solve this, is by using shortcodes in wpbakery page builder.
Hi all
My site isn’t sending emails for Buddypress actions such as use of @mentions, group join request accepts/rejects, PMs, etc. as it should.
I’m using the WP Mail SMTP plugin, and sending a test email works correctly and is received. I’ve also done the same with the Check Email plugin and it works correctly. Contact forms also work correctly, sending email to myself.
So email is configured correctly on the server and is working, but none of the emails in the “emails” page ever get sent to any of the site users.
How can I fix it? TIA.
wordpress : 5.1.1
buddypress : 4.2.0
Hello,
I am in charge of a site that uses wordpress, and buddypress. When someone receives a message, the old ones appear at the top and the recent at the bottom. When the page contains several messages, you lose time scrolling down the page each time before reading the most recent message. Is there a way to change the order of messages please? Thank you in advance.
cordially

I’m trying to make a social networking for a radio station I do not know css html or php when I install wordpress in english and install buddypress all goes well but when i install it in romanian then buddypress nouveau turns in buddypress medern template and with it selected I’m giving this error to the profile page of each member <span class = “count”> 2 </ span> friend 2
I think this a bigger issue. I just removed my tabs, and went with the default groups, my groups and create. the my groups options displays all the groups too. This seems to be an bug with buddypress.
@danbp Thank you for the tutorial. My group tabs worked perfectly until the last update of BuddyPress. Now the first time the page is loaded the tab displayed is correct. But If I switch tabs then all my tabs show all the groups. I am at a loss. Any ideas?

Hi there,
So I help my mom out with her blog (embracing spirituality.com). We’ve just re-installed BuddyPress and I’ve tested it out, but activation emails never get sent. Why is this? I have researched this before deciding to post and I noticed two things:
1) This is an extremely common issue. It’s almost apart of the BuddyPress package.
2) To fix it requires coding knowledge
I know absolutely nothing about coding. I tried to hire someone at codeable to help me fix this issue, but he charged me $500 which is too expensive for me.
Can anyone help me fix this issue please? I’m willing to pay someone!
Thank you for your time,
Kay
The limitations of BuddyPress are really the limitations of WordPRess and your host. If you think WordPress.com is run on WordPress you can see that scaling is possible, but that you’d probably need to do extensive customisations. File upload size is a server setting.
First of all, I got the filename wrong, it’s home.php you need to edit.
This should be about the easiest bit of php you can get. But you will need to get ftp access to your site then create a buddypress/members/single directory in your themes/childtheme directory. Then take a copy of the source home.php file.
Home.php creates the basic content for the profile page and if you open it up you will see a section as follows:
<?php if ( ! bp_nouveau_is_object_nav_in_sidebar() ) : ?>
<?php bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/parts/item-nav' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
This is what calls the navigation, at the moment it’s the second item being loaded, you want it to be the first, so you just need to move it as follows:
?>
<?php if ( ! bp_nouveau_is_object_nav_in_sidebar() ) : ?>
<?php bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/parts/item-nav' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php bp_nouveau_member_hook( 'before', 'home_content' ); ?>
<div id="item-header" role="complementary" data-bp-item-id="<?php echo esc_attr( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?>" data-bp-item-component="members" class="users-header single-headers">
<?php bp_nouveau_member_header_template_part(); ?>
</div><!-- #item-header -->
<div class="bp-wrap">
<div id="item-body" class="item-body">
<?php bp_nouveau_member_template_part(); ?>
</div><!-- #item-body -->
</div><!-- // .bp-wrap -->
<?php bp_nouveau_member_hook( 'after', 'home_content' ); ?>
Once you’ve done that use ftp to copy your updated file to themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/home.php and test. that should do it.
