https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-theme-compatibility/
Please.. i need help… don’t know how to get my way around here..
how do I change the front color or the background color of buddypress in wordpress theme? How can i extend membership sign up questions?
tHANK YOU
That specific call-time-pass-by-reference issue has been resolved in trunk. If you want to remove the warnings in your install, open up buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php and on line 751 replace

with

@justbishop thanks for the tip, I’ll see if I can get what I want from it 
Will your mention of @wpmuguru send them a notification?
Yes it does 
The meta key is sitewide_tags_blog and it contains an array. However if you want to disable SWT on a single blog / site I have a post here: http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/turn-off-sitewide-tags-on-special-blogs/
WP/BP versions? Change to bp-default theme to check if it’s an issue with your custom theme. If that’s not the case, then deactivate plugins except BuddyPress to check if it’s a plugin conflict.
Well if it doesnt pull two url’s on a standard wordpress site and then it pulls two with a buddypress site I have to think it’s a buddypress question no?
Thanks, I really do appreciate you taking the time. I wish I could do more of this type of thing for myself, but I’m afraid that I don’t have the luxury of just sitting and straight learning PHP.
Searched the file for both get_sitemeta and update_sitemeta and got no hits. Will your mention of @wpmuguru send them a notification? Because I don’t think BP is letting me post anything to anyone’s wall right now.
Oops – make that update_site_option and get_site_option. Might be worth pinging @wpmuguru about this as well.
Yep, you can do this just fine, and won’t loose any data. I suggest you set up a test site and have a go before you do it on your live site 
What version of BuddyPress are you using?
Hello I have a directory site called http://www.thisisweddingphotography.com and since upgrading to the latest version of Buddypress have had loads of bugs. Currently I am having problems with the avatars my clients are uploading as no crop restraints appear when they upload a new image. Is anyone else having this problem and can anybody help me work out why?
Regards
Andy
I’m not sure if this has already been posted on – but I just installed Buddy Press and after activating found the following error message at the top – Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of do_action(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /home/content/05/8404005/html/community/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php on line 751.
I also found a fix on this page – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/deprecated-message-when-buddypress-is-installed?replies=5#post-2437774 but it didn’t work for me. Any advice please?
Is it possible to make it so that once you’re signed into to Buddy Press you can still see the standard WordPress Toolbar at the top? I use it a lot on my websites and it puts me off using BuddyPress, when I have to loose my standard WordPress Admin Bar…
to reiterate what @VirtualityStudio said, ” people are so used to the way fb works, it would be nice to do that for them “
here here !!!
Don’t get me wrong, BP/WP is a great platform, and we don’t really need millions of fb clones, but the functionality of fb’s activity feeds must surely be an ‘industry standard’ that most sites strive for nowadays.
Buddypress in my opinion was created not only to provide us with the tools to create our own social networks, but also to strive to be more than just a ‘blog orientated’ social engine.
Unfortunately the structure for having the ‘site-wide’ feed pulling in profile feed posts may prove to be counter productive in the long run unless more emphasis is placed on the way these items are controlled. Otherwise everyones personal conversations are the but of all gossip for all and sundry to see, a bit like washing your laundry in public lol
Privacy control too in my humble opinion is ‘up there’ in the priorities list of BP enhancement, I admire the work that contributors have put into some of the plugins in the past but they cannot be relied on to keep up BP updates and really need to become a BP standard protocol no? anyway thats another subject 
Prior to installing Buddypress, I was using the graphene theme, since, I have installed randy candy! However, I can no longer see two menus, it’s not even merged into one properly. Many (all) of my sub-pages are no longer beneath the parent category pages, hence there are no drop down menus. I also only have one menu/primary.
I am quite new to wordpress, but have managed a couple of php deletions and uploads today, but masses of code scares me quite a lot!!!!!!!!
I hope you can help
Hi mercime
Thanks for your helpful reply. I changed Forums base to sitewide-forums & now I have a new forum eg
http://richard-dickinson.com/sitewide-forums/forum/rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies/
I am still though finding it hard to understand & use BP on my site! Hopefully with time I will learn how to use it properly.
Shouldn’t this forum I have created eg rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies show on the top BP admin bar (my username) forums link? Clicking on that Forums link brings me to …../admin/forums page & there is no forum shown there on the forums tab? I am a little confused at the moment with BP on my site-how can I learn to use BP properly on my site?
This isn’t really a BuddyPress question, is it? FB customisation is all about the opengraph tags that you built. I can’t even look at what you’ve done because you haven’t linked to your site 
I’ve noticed that the creators of this awesome tool have given up. Anyone care to take a stab at this? This would fix a search problem I’ve been having.
Currently, the only Program that seems to have worked in the past for this is BP Profile Search, which has not been tested or updated for the new WP. I think BuddyPress and/or it’s volunteer plugin programmers should develop a plugin to support multiple search options.
I suggest that you should be able to search by fields. For example:
A user chooses the following fields from 2 dropdown menus, and enters their zipcode for their profile information.
Profile Type: User
Focus: Looking for Friends
Location: 93001
Someone should be able to find this user by selecting the matching values from their respective drop down menu search fields (“Profile Type” and “Focus”) and typing in the zipcode for their search.
Right now there seem to be a lot of alternative methods, none of which will work for me, so I suggested it here. Here’s hoping 
@boonebgorges Hello, I am working with a user on our theme forum with this same issue. I have replicated it, my support user informs me that this started to happen when he update Java, as in Sun Java…not sure how this relates to javascript if it does but may be a way for you to replicate this issue. What I am finding is that the read more link does not populate itself so it just stays as […]
I am not sure what exchanges the […] with Read More but I think that is what is broken. I would be happy to help you to replicate this issue. Let me know what I can do to help you troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks!
thank for the tip @etivite . I have searched and googled till my head was spinning, there is NO solution for it yet!
The issue is asked again and again and again, and still no real solution. The only thing I have found which filters out the non-friend activity but also blocks your own! is this one:
http://wpmu.org/create-a-better-community-experience-with-the-new-buddypress-friends-only-activity-stream-plugin/
As for th bp_has_activities you can’t really use it as it only accepts ONE single parameter (for ex.
if ( bp_has_activities( ‘scope=friends’) [which means own posts, groups, etc will be out!] and as you said is completely messing up the “load” function by the occasion. So you definitely can NOT call that a solution.
You say it has been covered before, I’d rather say it has been asked again and again but when you search through all those posts you’ll see they all end either unanswered or after people desperately try to figure it out somehow, gets abandoned as no one found the way to solve it. ANd there was not even ONE single post from some of the developers who know best how buddypress is built.
We can try and try and break our heads, but if after 2 years none of us managed 2 find a solution, isn’t it time for a specialist to look into it?
We need just as on other social networks the possibility to have own posts (incl comments) combined with friends’ posts (also incl. commenst) on one single page/wall and only visible for friends.
All social networks do that these days, only buddypress not …. 
Hello BuddyPress Community,
I had previously created a function that would reorder the nav items on a single group display page, but it was broken by a recent BuddyPress upgrade.
Can anybody recommend a revision to this function that might cause it to work within the new BuddyPress environment?
`function bbg_change_group_tab_order() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’10’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’20’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’30’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’40’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’50’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’60’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’70’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’80’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’90’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’93’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’96’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’97’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’98’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’99’;
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bbg_change_group_tab_order’);`
I already noticed that if I change the action from ‘wp’ to ‘bp_group_options_nav’ then it is at least firing off in what seems to be the correct location – just before the group navigation is output. Unfortunately it seems as though the bp_options_nav array is now different than it was before.
Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
Adam
