I’ve built many WordPress sites before, but this will be my first using Buddypress. I’d like there to be some sort of checklist that all members of the site are working toward completing. More specifically, a list a places each member needs to visit, and then record or check off that they’ve completed it. And have a way to show each members progress. Is there a way to do this with the existing plugins?
Thanks!
Hi, the quest is simple, How i can put in the search bar of Buddypress in default “Post search”.
Thanks
My apologies, yes it used to be call WPMU they have now made it part of the main WordPress install and call it Multisite.
So yes I have an install of WordPress with Multisite activated. I have not seen anything that says the latest version of Buddypress is not compatible with WordPress Multisite.
UPDATE
I have tried a fresh install of WordPress with Buddypress installed. I now have the following happening…
The settings page still stays the same on a save but if you refresh the page your changes are now visible (This was not happening before). So it seems that the save is now happening it just still shows you the old data first after you press the save button. This seems to make it confusing as you think the save did not complete.
Further to this, if you use the default buddypress theme the save works first time everytime correctly. The above only seems to happen if I am using a different theme with the buddypress template pack to make the theme compatible.
So does this mean there is a bug in the template pack? If so any suggestions on how I can make the form display your newly saved data right after the save.
Thanks
In the WP admin dashboard, try navigating to “BuddyPress > Forums”.
Under “Forums for Groups”, try clicking on “Install Group Forums”. If you don’t see that, click on “Uninstall group forums”, then you should see the Install Group Forums button, click on that button.
Next, under “BuddyPress > Components”, make sure that “Discussion Forums” is checked.

If that doesn’t work, it could be a database problem. Try logging into phpMyAdmin and repairing your tables.
Also make sure that the following tables exist and have data populated in them:
* wp_bb_forums
* wp_bb_meta
* wp_bb_posts
* wp_bb_terms
* wp_bb_term_relationships
* wp_bb_term_taxonomy
* wp_bb_topics
@despachotres Are the mail notifications working for you? Even your mention didn’t trigger an email…
@papaenapuros I had the same problem too 
Hello mercime, thank you for your assistence..
No, I didn’t make any upgrade in this month.. nor installed a new plugin.. My forums worked good before..
But I have some changes because my site was hacked, and this affected the Buddypress default theme: all my index.php files receive a malicious code.
I cleaned all files, changed my passwords, etc… When I saw the problem with the forums (today) I reinstalled all Buddypress files.. but the forum doesn’t work.
I used Installation Wizard when installed Buddypress.. Any idea?
Sounds like a bug. Can you report it on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org please? You can use your username and password from here.
Hello,
I have a buddypress install in a subfolder in a domain (ie, http://www.mydomain.com/buddypress). That is, http://www.mydomain.com has a WordPress install, and “/buddypress” is another different install. Both them are single Wordpres installs (not multiuser).
When you send a private message, you receive an email width the text “To view and read your messages please log in and visit: http://www.mydomain.com/buddypres/users/name/messages/” which is a correct URL.
If you click in the link (when logged out), you are redirected to a bad URL. This is:
`http://www.mydomain.com/buddypress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=/buddypress/?redirect_to=http://www.mydomain.com/buddypress/users/name/messages`
As you can see, there are 2 “redirect_to” parameters. The text “redirect_to=/buddypress/” is not needed, and it’s causing the problem. If I delete it, it works fine and when you’re logged you are redirected to the messages page.
Any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
== The thing that comes to my mind is that I have installed both sites to a subdomain eg. name.mydomain.com ==
BP has no problem being installed in physical subdomains or in secondary blogs of multisite installations with subdomain structure as far as I know.
I noted in your 2nd post that you were trying to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. If you’re using the bp-default theme, you should deactivate the BP Template Pack plugin. What showed up in your error logs?
== I’m using BP 1.5.1, I didn’t have problem until days ago ==
Did you just upgrade and/or install a new theme or plugin recently?
Did you go through the Installation Wizard?
Have you gone to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > Forums for Groups – and clicked on Use Existing Installation?
The problem IS the parent theme Detox. With all the warnings and deprecated notices generated, if that theme was submitted to the WordPress Theme Repository, it would not be approved with all those errors. That theme is listed with issues on this page https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-theme-compatibility/
You have to fix the theme, or drop it and get a WordPress Theme. Then install BP Template Pack plugin. Go through the BP compatibility process and if you need help with that, post here.
I have exactly the same problem . After replying on some activity post I get Page not found. I have latest Buddypress and wordpress with default theme and have never had Buddystream installed.
pagination link is not working.. but you can copy the link in the browser (change page number), like this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/?p=3&n=20 (change p=4, 5, 6…)
Hi, iam trying to customize my registration fields like tumblr( i.e : usrname | email | password ), the default buddypress ( 1.5.1 ) provides 5 fields to complete, how to remove retype password and full name fields?. I just tried doing it and iam stuck with it, do anyone have similar problem and fixed it. please address.
if you want to modify that behavior you can edit the theme files which i did for my community. users browsing the page don’t see anything unless they register. i used the wordpress-function is_user_logged_in()
files to consider:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php
and to hide the rss-button (private groups still in rss if you know the link or browse the source code – but users not logged using the site don’t see anything):
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php
How can I make ng gal work with bp?
I want users to be able to create albums and upload photos.
Is this possible?
This seems to be a nice plugin that works on buddypress:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-recaptcha/
Some slight manual additions (just add your recaptcha keys into the actual php file), but apart from that, clean, simple it seems.
Aces you are the man !!!
I bit the bullet and gambled and it paid off 
Now I just need to re-arrange my banner because it’s playing peekaboo lol
many many thanks for your input, not to mention your patience on this edit sir
I came across a case of white screen of death after upgrading my WordPress/Buddypress multisite install yesterday to latest versions. Basically, I realized that 2 pages that used to display fine suddenly started yielding a blank screen. All the other pages of the site kept displaying correctly.
After a few hours of troubleshooting, I narrowed down the problem to the name of the template file that is attached to the displayed page. The theme I am using is Classipress and the name of the template file is “tpl-membership-purchase.php”. If I rename the template file to something simpler, then the page displays as it should.
I checked as well that this was only happening if buddypress’ latest version was installed.
I managed to reproduce the problem by
– installing WP (latest release) + BP (latest release + all wizard default options)
– activating Twenty-eleven theme (no BP modification)
– creating a new (very basic) template fille called “tpl-membership-purchase.php”
– assigning the new template to a newly created page and display the page
Thanks.
So only BuddyPress pages dont work, but your normal WordPress pages work with pretty permalinks?
Not sure if this is still something to be worrying about, but you had to “re-save” your pretty permalinks after installing BuddyPress, if you havent, try that.
WPMU, dont you mean WP + Multisite? Is the latest BuddyPress still compatible with WPMU?
I have an issue where I am unable to save settings when on a member page e.g. http://www.bimstop.com/members/{member name}/settings/general/.
If I enter the details correctly when changing the email address it just stays the same. If I go into “Profile” under /wp-admin/ and attempt to change it, it work’s fine.
I notice that this same problem happens on the testbp.org website when you try and save your settings.
Site Details…
– WPMU install
– Latest version of buddypress installed as plugin
– Using the buddypress template pack.
– Theme is based on “BLANK WordPress Theme”
Things I have tried…
– Changing to the default buddypress theme (Still had the issue)
– Deactivating all other plugins (Still had the issue)
– Re-copying the buddypress template files. (Still had the issue)
If anyone can help me with this or if you have any ideas on things I could try it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
