Removing the tab could cause problems because it is the default tab.
I suggest you simply edit the page to remove those fields and replace them with a message directing users to your preferred page.
Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\settings\general.php
And then in the overload file, make your changes.
I am a developer. I’m able to copy and edit templates no problem.
However, this doesn’t help as far as embedding and submitting the form components from an area outside BuddyPress.
Perhaps it isn’t possible?
We have our users set their email and change their password in the MemberPress account page. I’d like to have that happen in only one place. So I’d like to remove the “General” tab from the BuddyPress profile page. Any advice on how to do that?
You need to look at the BP templates that have sections that you want to duplicate.
The templates are here: buddypress\bp-templates\
Unless you have good skills as a developer, it will be difficult to get your custom pages working properly.
Hi There,
I am looking for a CMS template to build a simple social/dating website. I was wondering if BuddyPress supports the following features/functionalities:
– Responsive on all devices
– Users to be able to pay for messaging and/or subscription
– User should be able to register, to have public and private profile also public and private photos.
– Users to be able to edit and add custom fields on their profile page
– Admin should also be able to edit those fields/profile pages
– Users to be able to filter search results, based on those fields
– IP Geo detection function? Showing users in your area?
– Multilanguage support.
– Are gifts or badges also available/active, which are to be given on a subscription or user rank basis?
– Any performance issues? Browsing experience should be smooth.
Thank you so much in advance.
I am open to suggestions, if you think that this particular CMS is not appropriate for this.
hey is there any way so that we can show like and delete button of buddypress in wordpress post comment just like it shows reply and delete button in buddypress activity
Hi
Pretty straight forward error message I receive when I try and send private messages Could use help in debugging. I had been able to send messages “amongst friends”. It worked for a long time. I had not tested in a while and now it does not work. I have it working on other sites.
Any suggestions?
I deleted every plugin except buddypress and used 2017 theme—get same results “Message was not sent” Please try again.
Thanks
Mike
@teleworm1337 try to repair the email template files
Tools >> BuddyPress >> Reinstall emails (delete and restore from defaults).

Also, make sure email deliveries are working fine.
> I purchased a custom profile tab plugin
Was it a custom BuddyPress profile tab plugin ?
If so, the developer did a very poor job because any BP profile tab needs to handle dynamic user ids.
Tell them to simply use $user_id = bp_displayed_user_id(); in the shortcode function and to ignore or remove the user_id from the shortcode attributes.
Hi, I’m even newbier (?) than @cvtbrian in that I’m just starting up with a brand new community (ie zero traffic), and plan to use Buddypress + Woocommerce, plus maybe 20-25 other plugins. I was planning to sign up for Managed WordPress hosting by Godaddy, but then i read in the BP codex/ getting started that “WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts (fantastico, softalicious, etc.)which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated” – and apparently teh managed hosting doesnt allow that, so the Godaddy rep told me then i need to look at Linux hosting.
Has anyone tried BP with Godaddy Managed hosting, and would it be okay to start with shared hosting considering traffic will be very low initially (but BP+WC+plugins would need to work reasonably fast)?
If i take shared hosting now, will it be easy to move to VPS later as traffic increases?
thanks a ton for any inputs!
You can use following custom css
.buddypress-wrap .standard-form .field-visibility-settings-header {
display: none;
}
@lunarayven You can check following codes and use them with Snippet plugin
Change “Activity” component’s name and slug to something else.
Other references of “activity” string at the frontend can be translated using Loco Translate
Hi everyone,
So I stumbled into creating a website (my level of coding ability is somewhere between “what the hell am I doing” and “oh that was simpler than it sounded”). I’m using buddypress for my membership profiles and I want to change the “activity” tab and rename it.
Ive seen that you have to sort some coding out to get this done, but could someone be so kind as to tell me which file in the editor to go into and where I put this code in? Do I just paste the code in at the bottom or is there a specific place it has to go?
Users names do not appear when letters are typed after @
The mention “works” notification wise but the autosuggest (I guess this is what it’s called) doesn’t.
Looking in Chrome Console I have an error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token mentions.min.js?ver=4.1.0:13
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/js/mentions.min.js?ver=4.1.0
The error icon is shown at the end of line 13:
11 var i={
12 delay:200,hideWithoutSuffix:!0,insertTpl:”@${
13 ID
14 }
The console also says that (no error icon there though):
JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1 jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.4.1:2
/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.4.1
@dwl003 no need to copy buddypress.css or min file inside the child theme.
You should be able to override the tab specific CSS with !important tags and writing codes inside appearance >> customizer >> additional CSS

Hi @henrywright,
I’m using “Buddypress Upload Avatar Ajax” (Version 1.0.1) and Buddypress (Version 4.1.0).
Since upload avatar plugin was not updated I’m experiencing the same problem as @chavodbharat has mentioned – I’m getting “There was a problem cropping your avatar, please try uploading it again” error.
I tried what he has suggested (edit directly wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\classes\class-bp-attachment-avatar.php) and I also tried your snippet, but I’m still getting the same problem.
Does something changed in latests Buddypress versions?
OK, no replies as of yet but some progress to report:
I abandoned the idea of making minor style customizations in my WS child theme’s style.css because of the inconsistent results I was getting (see my previous post). Instead, after more hours scouring of the internet, I found a different approach which is to setup folders under my child theme folders like so:
…/wp-content/themes/mytheme/buddypress/css
I then created a new file named buddypress.css in the new /css folder, put in a couple of css entries and voila! – it didn’t work. Determined to get this working, I then spent a few more hours of scoouring and through trial and error and finally came up with the following which does work for me:
1) setup the above mentioned folder structure under the child WP theme
2) copy buddypress.css from the core buddy press css folder under the chosen template (e.g. nouveau) to the new css folder
3) rename the new buddypress.css to “buddypress.min.css” (even though it is not “minified”)
4) changes made to the new buddypress.min.css now take effect (hoorah!)
Although this approach seems to work, it does raise several questions:
A) since the custom version of the css file is not “minified”, does this not defeat the purpose of minifying css files in the first place (i.e. presumably performance improvements)?
B) I would have hoped that the custom css file would only need to contain deviations from the theme’s css – however this does not seem to be the case. It appears that the entire file needs to be copied. The concern here is that when buddypress is upgraded, there may be css changes in the upgrade that are now “masked” by the custom css file which contains the older version of the styling (in cases where no modifications were made) – this seems a bit “messy” to me
C) I guess my main question really is whether the above approach which I finally settled on is valid and is the best available approach.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I am seeking clarity on this so that I end up with a good long term solution.

I’m using WordPress 5.0.3 and Buddypress 4.1.0
How can I display the contents of a BuddyPress tab on the main profile page instead of on a separate tab? I’m specifically hoping to display the reviews form the BP Member Reviews plugin on the Profile page rather than a separate tab.
If you’re not familiar with that plugin, how could I show the content of the Groups tab on the Profile page? I’d like to remove all tabs and show everything on one page for each user.
Thanks!
My mistake – the required hooks do exist.
Here is an example of adding a column to the Groups Admin page.
> I’d like to show the pending members in the groups page.
You can see the pending requests by visiting the Group page > Manage > Requests.
Hi,
I am not sure it that helps but it is placing everything into the menu. So far I haven’t been able to get it to work anyway. I also forgot to mention I am using WP 5.0.3 and BuddyPress 4.1.0 and the code there is for older versions.
I just want to be able to add the count at the top of the content on the page.
Thanks for the help!

On my test system, posting that into activity does not result in an embedded video, just a link to the video. BuddyPress does not handle video and in order to have it embed then something else is running in order to do that. It could be WordPress itself as it has embed functionality but looking at the CSS of the embedded video on your site it does not look like WordPress, it looks like there’s a plugin doing it.
@emmanuel1234 you can check wpadvancedads.com/ads-on-buddypress-pages
@flowta with default 2017 theme you have horizontal menu http://prntscr.com/m7mamo and you can also try with the vertical menu as well. As per theme specific support most available theme in the market have legacy template files, that’s why you get a suggestion to switch to legacy first.
@ssmalli3 you can also check one more Reign Demo
