Make sure that you’ve called bp_has_groups() and bp_the_group(), otherwise all related template tags won’t do anything. See the BuddyPress Codex page on The Groups Loop for more.
If you want to grab the name of a single group by ID try this:
`
$group = new BP_Groups_Group($myGroupID, true);
echo $group->name;
`
What do you currently have at the root of your domain?
It would be pretty much the same as moving WordPress from subfolder to domain root or elsewhere.
Always backup database and server files to your computer hard drive before attempting the change, just in case.

I have Buddypress installed on http://www.domain.com/buddypress
I’d like to have buddypress on http://www.buddypress.com (so to the root)
Would anyone know how to go about this?
I’ve disabled all of my wordpress plugins but I’m baffled to why the profiles of the username adds the extra %20 characters to them.
I’m running the latest buddypress version as it has just been recently installed.
If I manually delete the %20 characters, it still goes to the same page (for SEO, this is bad since I will have two URLS with the same content). But I’m more worried about aesthetics, especially when users want to hyperlink to certain profiles, activities, links, etc…
Any advise?
I’m using W3 Total Cache and it’s causing me to not be able to log out properly. I click log out and then it takes me to the log out page and says you are logged out. However, if you go to the website again, the bp-admin bar is still at the top saying I’m logged in.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
My website was experiencing difficulties loading the image slider, the tabbed widget displayed all content in one long tab and the site colour scheme changed due to the Buddypress plugin.
I’m 100% positive that Buddypress is the problem as I’ve tested each and every plugin on my site individually.
Here’s a picture:
It just says loading for ages.
I’m using BP Template Pack for your information.
I’m guessing this is down to some sort of JQuery conflict. Here’s a link to my site:

Any help would be much appreciated.
What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using? Has the URL stayed the same?
Also, I suggest you revert to a standard WordPress theme (e.g. twentyten) and disable all plugins. Go to Settings > Permalinks and re-select/save your choice. Reactivate BuddyPress. Hopefully no errors, and that twentyten continues to work ok.
Then switch back to the theme that you were using, and check the BuddyPress functionality.
Hi Steve,
Missed your mentions.
do_actions can be found by searching for them. If you have a good search program, do a search for “do_action” throughout the /plugins/buddypress/ folder. (You’ll get a lot of results! It’s better to just sift through the code to find what you want though.)
As for specifics, the do_action for activity updates is “bp_activity_add”:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.9/bp-activity.php#L679
The code snippet above will not work with this as the parameter for “bp_activity_add” is different.
You need to convert WordPress into a network before users can create individual blogs:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#post-1855 (scroll down to “Blog tracking”)

Or you might consider allowing your users to post on your current blog by making them an Author:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Author
By default, users are Subscribers.
Hi,
I need the following: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2296
Yet WordPress have closed their ticket, can anyone offer some support on this? Where can I add the above code?
I need to know when someone changes their account email and also when someone updates their status.
It seems that all my previous topics were erased, so I’ll have to repost.
I switched from Windows to Linux, and it seems to have broken literally everything about Buddypress. I’ve deactivated and reactivated the plugins, but I’m not sure what I need to edit in order to get it back. Here are some of the errors I’m getting.
Fatal error: Class ‘BB_Query’ not found in /home/content/93/8034993/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums.php on line 173
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /home/content/93/8034993/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/bp-forum-extras-bbcode.php on line 23
My blogs is supposed to be an option on the activity menu. How do you enable users to create individual blogs? I can’t find where to do it in 1.2.9
There could be a number of reasons for the errant behavior.
– WP/BP versions?
– BP Template Pack veriion?
– Have you deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress and changed to bp-default theme? Clear cache. Does same bad behavior return or is it fixed?
– When you say, “I could not edit my user info” do you mean your profile page or one of your user’s info?
First, do not make revisions in bp-default theme. Revisions will be overwritten when BP is upgraded.
Instead,
– create a child theme of bp-default theme, e.g. mybpproject,
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– create a functions.php file and put it in your child theme folder. Define new widget/s here (name, ID, etc)
– copy over the template file from bp-default theme to your child theme folder (following directory structure) then add the call to dynamic_sidebar in that template.
By default the only “base” information is the username. This can’t be deleted.
Also why to delete when you can hide or give permission ?
For the other field or fiedset YOU added, try some of these plugins
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-privacy/
I installed Buddypress a few months ago, edited the theme a little (ie changed “Groups” to “Classes” etc). I recently restarted.
I took everything off the site, WP and all. I then installed WP 3.2, and BuddyPress. For some reason, it is already edited (Groups is called Classes). I also noticed that there is a Parent and a Child.
I just want a fresh start at BuddyPress and not quite sure what to do here. Any suggestions?
Thanks
In BuddyPress, how can you delete the option for users to edit their “Base” profile information?
I installed buddypress and the template pack several months ago, and used the default theme. It worked for creating accounts, but when you clicked a user on the users page it started to load, then loaded the page you were already on. When logged in I could not edit my user info. It worked otherwise.
I am also curious about this, however “Install BuddyPress on a secondary blog” don’t seem to answer the question, and “Yes” answers the question without an explanation or instructions.
Thanks
