Hi,
in general setting, buddypress. You need to assigne a page to the groups, if this page have this name “community”, have you try it?
Hi BuddyPress community,
I’ve been struggling with this problem for a few days now, and since i can’t find an answer i come for your help.
I want to edit some files (some functions within them) from the “public_html\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-nouveau\includes” Directory, like “functions.php”, and “template-tags.php”. The issue i have, is that i don’t know how to edit them on my child theme (i don’t want the changes go away every time i update BuddyPress).
So the question is.. How can i edit those files in my child theme?.
Thank you very much guys. Please explain me like you were teaching a kid so i can understand (im not very experienced at this, so please bear with me).

Hello Henry,
where can I find a list of HOOKs I can use with BuddyPress?
For example changing the login_name after registration.
Cheers,
denis
Redirect users to buddypress profile edit page after sign up: TOPIC:
this code: via https://buddypress.org/support/topic/redirect-users-to-buddypress-profile-edit-page-after-sign-up/
.. this doesnt seem to work either.. @shanebp
Just a guess… Try:
1. Change the title and the slug of ‘the page about membership benefits’.
2. Go to Settings > Buddypress > Pages and make sure that you have not assigned ‘the page about membership benefits’ to any BuddyPress components.
Venutius, I’m telling you 🙂 the whole arrangement (theme, plugins, etc.) was working until the recent big Buddypress update. Then my manually placed whatsnewbox stopped showing.
But I’m the nice guy 😛 I have put
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);
+ let’s see what we get. 🙂
With all the plugins deactivated apart from BuddyPress, did it work at all? Same goes with your theme. Do you have error logging switched on? I’m thinking there must be an error showing somewhere and you are just not seeing it.
See this page to see how to enable the error log https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
I didn’t edit it. So you have seen the screenshots where could these strings possibly come from? I’ve edited the Theme (2017). The plugin and buddypress but I’m still seeing these words where could the have come from?
The export data information should contain the personal information held by your plugins and wordpress, it should not contain data about plugins, I’m not sure how you would remove that, it’s not specifically a BuddyPress Question.
OK… Maybe not a string. A Word then perhaps?
A word is a string.
A string is a type of variable – text – example: unfriend
An integer is a type of variable without a decimal point – number – example: 33
A float is a type of variable – number with a decimal point – example: 45.67
Again – the string ‘unfriend’ is not coming from BuddyPress – unless you have edited it.
sorry, I only stumbled over your most recent response now. Apparently, this forum does not really send notifications on replies. Either way –
No, I’m not getting any errors. It just stays blank. I’ve tried 2 plugins to circumvent in the meantime (or rather drill into what they’re doing different, in case they work/ed), alas
which has me scratching my head.
I would very much prefer to get this going without having to use a plugin for a simple display job such as this. Bit I can’t seem to figure out why the solution I had in place stopped working.
‘Unfriend’ is not a BuddyPress string, as you can see by searching the codebase.
Could you be more elaborate? Tournaments on what?
Did you have any Tournaments plugin in mind yet?
With buddypress users are linked it depends on private or public profile.
There’s two options, you could either overload that file, by placing your edited file in the wp-content/themes/your-child-them/buddypress/members/single directory or the other option is to create your own translation of the BuddyPress text. This last option is preferred, in general overloading files adds to the admin burden as you will need to kepp track of changes in the master file.
To do the translation you would need to download PoEdit and follow this:
Languages and Translations
You just set up a translation of your own language which removes the text.
Also, to manage translations, use the WPT Custom Mo File.
This is handy because as you develop your site you are bound to come across other instances in BuddyPress and other plugins where you would prefer to change the text.
I see.
I have asked a question below.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
Hi! it’s about a week I’m trying to add a notification counter to my Buddypress site’s menu, unfortunately without getting any results.
I have read many topics on this forum but I have not been able to use them because I do not have the php code skills and I have a site on WordPress.com (not wordpress.org), so it’s harder to edit the files.
So what I would like to know is: how can I add this counter to my menu using third-party plugins (eg “insert header and footers” or “code snippets”)? Is there a way to do it? I only need the counter because I’ve already created an icon in my menu that opens the notifications panel when clicked.
Thank you in advance for your help!
ok i got it to work but when an image is upload from the mobile website it goes off the screen and you can not get to crop the image properly see attachment
actually this is an issue in buddypress that persons do not know about, try to upload a image from your end with a mobile with buddypress install in your site and you will see what i am speaking about

Does the profile picture appear properly when not on the mobile site?
If so, then you need to talk to the creators of your theme – BuddyPress does not show ’round’ avatars.
if I do it on the User Screen through the Admin page it works fine…but my Users won’t have that option.
That tells you there is something happening on the front end.
I’ll bet it will work if you deactivate any ‘lazy’ loader plugin or code. ( jetpack ? )
And / or any ‘minify’ plugin or code that is affecting javascript.
I am using a theme now that is tested with BuddyPress
Sez who? The theme creators? Always check by momentarily switching to a WP theme like 2016.
I am only uploading on the member screen…if I do it on the User Screen through the Admin page it works fine…but my Users won’t have that option.

Please use the code button when posting code.
If you are asking for the location of the bp_has_activities function, it is in this file:
buddypress\bp-activity\bp-activity-template.php
You can find the location of a function by searching for them via your code editor.
Or by using google and entering the name of the function.
Thanks for the replies @shanebp & @espellcaste !
So my goal is to develop a tournaments component and I had an idea to take BuddyPress Docs and strip it since it has integrations to other components, which I also require. Do you guys think it could work?
It should be okay. And just install it to find out for sure.
There is also this one that may be a little better re BP Theme Compat:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-skeleton-component/tree/1.7
The best way, for now, is to look thru the codebase for examples of how the BP_Component class is extended to create components.
My Google search console is showing Server error (5xx) regarding the following Buddypress urls: Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix this?
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-friends/actions/add-friend.php

BuddyPress is not a forum plugin.
BuddyPress uses bbPress for forums.
You may want to ask your question on the bbPress forums.
