why not post a notice to have users change their username using this plugin
Allow Your Users to Change their Username on your BuddyPress Based site
== but would love to see anything that didn’t require changing the theme….==
Choice for either allowing all members or the admin only to create groups is in BP 1.5 beta 2
== I want to be able to create a user role that has moderator access to all groups.==
A global forum moderator role is not available in the current version of the BuddyPress forum integration at this time.
@esploded Then go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums Setup and create new bbPress installation.
Site in transition? Is Buddypress.org being upgraded to 1.5?
It’s a known issue. Site is in transition. Thank you for your patience.
@mercime anything you can do to help?
Hey Guys,
I’ve spent the last couple of days Googling and trying to solve a BuddyPress problem but I’m admitting defeat and hoping one of you guys can help me out.
I’ve recently rolled out a BuddyPress enabled theme to a WordPress install that has about 1300 existing WordPress users. All these users can login and can use the activity stream but BuddyPres is having issues when it comes to viewing individual activity and editing their profiles. New users don’t have this trouble.
I think it has something to do with profiles not being synced or something along those lines cause the URLs of existing WordPress users come with spaces in the URLs. e.g. I was an existing user and I’ve got this URL http://edgeqld.org.au/members/Bronson%20Quick/ rather than http://edgeqld.org.au/members/bronsonquick/
I’m guessing it has something to do with what JJJ has described here:
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/wp-and-bp-profile-syncing-works-only-sporadically/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-33358
I’ve tried playing around with some of the constants listed here: http://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ but I haven’t had any success.
I’ve changed some of the slugs as follows:
`define ( ‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘info’ );
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘info’ );
define ( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘blogs’ );
define( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘members’);`
One example of a link that’s not working would be the edit profile link:
http://edgeqld.org.au/members/Bronson%20Quick/info/edit/ should link to http://edgeqld.org.au/members/Bronson%20Quick/info/edit/group/1 but when I click it it redirects to the homepage. I know that this is what BuddyPress is designed to do when either a template file is missing or it can’t resolve a URL.
I’m on WordPress 3.2.1 and I’m using BuddyPress 1.2.9.
Any suggestions, pointers or help would be greatly appreciated!
Taa muchly!
yes, i recently noticed that too – although I thought it was only for deleting and was browser related
We are experiencing the same issue. “Katrina” is pre-populated in the First Name field on the registration page at our site, http://ugnchicago.com/register.
It isn’t a local cookie issue; it is showing up across multiple machines, multiple browsers, etc.
Has anyone come up with an answer?
I found this for the disable normal users for creating (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/group-administration/?topic_page=3&num=15) but would love to see anything that didn’t require changing the theme….
Also a concept on the 2nd point. I think if I could find were the logic to allow super admins to be a group admin and add logic to allow people in certain roles to do them as well… but I’m not sure were that would be..
Ok, so I finally got the code to do something without breaking the site, but it did the opposite of what I need. It still shows the posts on the home page for the group that I’m trying to hide, but the activity stream for that group no longer shows those posts…lol. I need the home page to hide those posts and the group activity stream for that group to show it’s own posts.
The code I used is as follows:
‘
‘
It is located in the file /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php. I am guessing I’m just working in the wrong file. Can anyone help me find where I need to insert this code (if it is even right)?
Hey, is anyone else having this problem? I am unable to edit or delete posts on buddypress.org. I have been able to in the past, so I am guessing it is an issue created by the latest wordpress update.
Paul, I assume it isn’t simply a matter of changing bbpress templates to have profile links point back to the Buddypress profile page. We’d need to make sure the bbpress information shows on the Buddypress profile page. I’m assuming that is the harder part.
hi, i wont to know, how can i enqueue the scripts of buddypress only in buddypress pages
wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js

my_favs: “My Favorites”,

wp-load.php
they make my site slower in places where they are not necessary
Hello modemlooper,
Thanks for your response. I still can’t quite get it to work though. I am not very good with PHP yet, so I assume it is my terrible coding. Here is how I tried to incorporate it into /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php:
while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();
if(bp_get_group_name() != ‘Failed Sundays’ )
include( locate_template( array( ‘activity/entry.php’ ), false ) )
endif;
endwhile;
What am I doing wrong? Am I even in the right file?
Sorry for being such a noob…..
Duplicate the file header.php to header2.php then call this header in the top of your page template. You can them remove the tabs and have a different header on the page
I tried deactivating buddypress so I could see what the wp site would look like without the bp features, but when I did that, the whole screen went blank – nothing at all.
Once I reactivated bp, it was fine, but what if I decide not to use bp – what do I do?
Thanks!

I created a static page, but it still shows ‘members’ and ‘group’ tabs, which I don’t want on the home page, as the buddypress social is just one of may things we have. Also, I don’t want the login to show up on the home page. Am I going to have to create a separate home page outside of wordpress?
It works very similar to WP post loop.

@imjscn I have the exact same issue. Did you ever mange to find a solution?
