Surprisingly and bizarrely I was able to solve this. I went to the admin panel, to xprofile fields section and changed the names back to the original “Base” and “Name” labels. Then saved changes. I found that way it worked again normally, all info that I changed editing the user’s profile were saved ok. Then I changed the labels again in the admin panel, to “Información principal” and “Nombre completo” and all kept working fine as if that bizarre bug never happend.
Well, that’s all, thanks!
I am trying to use the buddypress template pack and I am honestly stuck on the very first step. It says “After you install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin, head over to admin dashboard > Appearance > BP Compatibility panel.”
I installed, I activated, but now I can’t find the BP Compatibility panel
In my admin I only have the options:
Themes / Widgets / Menus / Triton Lite Options / Menu
Can anyone tell me where this is?

@mercime – Sorry for the bump, but I tried to provide all of the information requested without any love…
Hi,
Thanks so much for your help. I know you’re busy, but I have spent days trying to search for answers and nothing seems to work.
After doing the last Buddypress upgrade to 2.0 my registration page is no longer found…
I’ve tried re-installing WP, deactivating all plugins and then activating only buddypress and bbpress but still no go.
The original registration page was never spaced out correctly, and couldn’t seem to get my added fields to show up, but at least it worked.
Thanks in advance for helping me solve this.
Scott
I’m having the same issue here
http://bit.ly/nIcmyd
I have not discovered a solution either, as the only result was by Studiopress telling me I need to buy their GenesisConnect Product.
I told them there is no Guarantee purchasing their product would fix this issue
Any ideas on how to resolve this Activity Stream Bug here http://bit.ly/nIcmyd
Thank you
@sbrajesh
Your a legend! Thanks for taking the time to look at this 
@kirkslater,
Since you asked it in another thread, here is what you need
Put this function in your functions.php or bp-custom.php
/**
* Get Age from BuddyPress date of Birth
* <a href='https://buddypress.org/community/members/param/' rel='nofollow'>@param</a> string $dob_field_name :name of the DOB field in xprofile, like Dob or Date of Birth
* <a href='https://buddypress.org/community/members/param/' rel='nofollow'>@param</a> int $user_id : the user for which you want to retrieve the age
* <a href='https://buddypress.org/community/members/param/' rel='nofollow'>@param</a> string $format: the way you want to print the difference, look t for the acceptable agrs
* @return string :the formatted age in year/month
*/
function bpdev_get_age_from_dob($dob_field_name,$user_id=false,$format="%y Years, %m Month(s), %d days"){
if(!$user_id)
$user_id=bp_displayed_user_id ();
$dob_time=xprofile_get_field_data($dob_field_name, $user_id);//get the datetime as myswl datetime
$dob=new DateTime($dob_time);//create a DateTime Object from that
$current_date_time=new DateTime();//current date time object
//calculate difference
$diff= $current_date_time->diff($dob);//returns DateInterval object
//format and return
return $diff->format($format);
}
and Now you can output the age anywhere using
echo "Age".bpdev_get_age_from_dob("DOB Field Name");//display for the displayed user
//or
echo "Your Age".bpdev_get_age_from_dob("DOB Field Name",bp_loggedin_user_id());//display for logged in user
You can pass the Dob field name, user_id and the format in which you want to show the difference.
here is the gist in case the code gets garbled: https://gist.github.com/1257476
Hope that helps.
PS: It will need php 5.3.3 or above.
Activity stream in buddypress 1.2.10. it’s not working properly. when ever i click on the all members or friends or followers activity stream is not displaying the updates. it either remains blank or shows only 2 to 5 updates. when i refresh the page it shows normally and again the same problem persist if i change to other tags such as friends or followers or etc
i tried clearing the recent history of the browser. it didn’t help out.
i have been using buddypress 1.2.10 and i couldn’t update it to 1.5 as some plugins dont work with 1.5
Please help me out. is there anything that i can do ?
Thanks in advance
@kirkslater,

BuddyPress Groups Extra not fully compatible.. testet on debbug mode
sven danke
….

thanks !
Hi all,
looking to exactly do this. Filter members by user role! Can anyone share any code? I think that would be a great addition to the BP core anyway!!!
@buzz2050 Have you got any code to share?
yeah thats okay…but why not the forum ?
@sbrajesh worked perfectly many thanks
Could I be a pain and ask you to take a look over this issue as well? If not, no worries 
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/display-age-on-profile-page/
Some new info : it is not related to the theme, I tried with bp-default, the results are approximately the same.
Your theme needs to be updated to be compatible with BP 1.5. Change to bp-default theme.
I’ve been hacking away at Buddypress and Wordpres for the past month and finally making some progress. I think I’ve got something cool to release shortly that ties in a lot of unique features. But first – There’s a nagging issue bothering me.
I have my main Network setup on somedomain.com – Buddypress is installed on this network-wide. It works without issue, where I allow the ability for users to register their username, but not add a site. I have multiple sites under this network that I control myself.
I have setup another network successfully under /blogs/ – And installed the bp-multi-network plugin found somewhere after reading through pages of discussions. On this Network I have the switch set for allowing users to create blogs.
When I try to add a site (success) and view it (not so succesfully) I get a 404. Furthermore, when I click the Network Admin/Dashboard from the mainsite, it sends me to the wp-admin of the /blogs/ network.
Is this possible that I can limit blog additions on the main network and then allow it on the sub.? If so, how can I do this?
In one BuddyPress site, you either:
1) create a child theme of bp-default OR
2) use a WP theme with BP Template Pack OR
3) create a child theme of a WP theme with BP Template Pack.
Cannot mix 1, 2 or 3.
If the buddypress community that you are a part of is public, you could just create a link to your profile, either by adding it to the Links Menu in your WP dashboard and enabling the Blogroll widget on the sidebar, or by creating a custom menu with a custom URL, and — if your theme supports custom menus — throw it up top in your theme, or use the Custom Menu widget and put it in the sidebar.
The URL to your profile will be something like domain.com/members/”your-user-name/
Visit your Profile and copy and past the URL that appears.
Your third option is a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/ I’m not sure if this still works, but it does what you want.
I know this seems like an unintuitive hack (why would you want to do this?), but I’m currently using an Active Directory Sync Plugin to facilitate my users logging in. The plugin works fine in WordPress: disabling the password reset from within the Dashboard Profile and from the Forgot Password link on the login page. For security reasons, my workplace wants to keep password reset functionality confined to their internal system, ie: they don’t want WordPress to talk back to the LDAP to enable password resets, just to authenticate users.
BUT: The plugin doesn’t take Buddypress into account (and the developer has fallen off the edge of the world) so users can still “sorta” change their password from their buddypress profile (I won’t get into what’s happening when they do).
All of that to ask: Is there a way I can get rid of those two Change Password fields on the Frontend Buddypress Profile page. I’m hoping for a little CSS magic for my child theme, or a function that I can throw in functions.php or bp-custom.php, but I’m completely stumped.
Hello all. I have run into a couple problems since updating to 1.5.
1) there is no longer a delete option for the activity stream
2) when someone posts a comment and I choose the VIEW option, it takes me to a black white page
Thoughts? And thanks – Erik
You actually do not want your member pages and their status updates to be cached by google because of privacy. There is no privacy settings in BuddyPress and the last thing your users want is a site owner forcing their updates to search bots.
