As a Newbie to buddypress I would like to ask you guys my question.
The activity tab allows you to view any users activity right, and off course post new status message and about that i would like my users to not post status messages but view other information like what badges they have and who they added as their friends like Mashable. But i still want to keep the activity page available to view in the nav but without the status message box.
Please Help me out
Yes ipstenu im using BuddyPress Version 1.2.8.
But downloading the same version from that link you gave me has corrected the issue. Is that 1.2.9 without the version number changed?
I am running Buddypress for a group who are all ‘members’ and want to avoid them having to request friendships every time a new member joins. Is there a way of making the connection automatic?
I was pleased Plugin Buddypress Private Community worked well, just what I needed, but …
in default mode (BLOCK ALL AND ALLOW) with 8 uris browsers, IE, Firefox, Chrome stop.
I get an error “too many redirects” from Chrome.
Pity, the other mode (MODE BLOCK NONE AND NOT ALLOW) is no alternative for me.
There is a value that I can increase, somewhere?
I’m not much a programmer
Did you ever create a wordpress/buddypress plugin for this? I need to limit characters on activity, but I’m not a programmer. I can activate a plugin though! Also, I need to limit characters on a couple of custom profile fields. Thanks and Let me know!

Updates to forum posts. They have been there since March, when we went live!
Thank you for your time Ray. Your recommendation for blog post worked as stated. I’m finally making some head way.
The user profile is another matter. when it comes to the user profile, I feel like a three-legged cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond. I’ve copied the single folder out of the buddypress default theme folder and placed it in my active wordpress theme. I’ve gone through and edited each file in the folder trying to get some kind of change to happen to my profile page, but nothing. Have I understood you correctly? The home.php file is the file that dictates the relationship of the others? Am I to transfer the single file to my wp theme and then edit the original or the one I’ve copied? I’ve done both with no result, then deleted both with no result.
Any Ideas would be cherished! Thanks for your time again.
p.s. If this helps, here’s what I was told by my theme designer:
“Ask if there is a conditional statement from BuddyPress that lets the page know the page is a group forum directory. Once you get the conditional statement open page.php and find:
`ID, ‘ghostpool_layout’, true) == “Full Width”) { ?>`
Replace with:
`ID, ‘ghostpool_layout’, true) == “Full Width” OR is_group_forum()) { ?>`
Where is_group_forum() is the conditional statement.
As long as you haven’t edited the core BuddyPress files, you should be able to delete the BuddyPress plugin folder, and reinstall it. It comes with a copy of bp-default, which should clear your error.
Did you upgrade BUDDYPRESS to the latest 1.2 version?
You can get the latest in the 1.2 series from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4550/branches/1.2?old_path=%2F&format=zip (at time of writing. SVN is https://svn.buddypress.org/branches/1.2/)
Hello,
When I go to ‘Appearance >> Widgets’ the Widgets on the right wont open. Like the Text widget, I cant open it to edit the contents.
It gives this error:
f.easing[e.animatedProperties[this.prop]] is not a function
/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=1&load=jquery,utils&ver=fb5c271ac01e8186b23ece33d5ce4961
Line 18
This only happens when ‘BuddyPress Template Pack – Version 1.1.3’ is active with 3.2-RC1.
Thanks
Im trying to create a page template that displays regular old posts.
Ive created a new template and given it a name. I’ve created a new page and assigned the template to the page.
This is the code ive placed in my new template:
<div class="page" id="blog-latest">
<div class="post" id="post- ">
<div class="author-box">
post_author ) ) ?>
</div>
<div class="post-content">
<h2 class="posttitle"><a href="" rel="bookmark" title=" "></a></h2>
<p class="date"> <em> post_author ) ) ?></em>
<div class="entry">
</div>
<p class="postmetadata"><span class="tags"><php the_tags( __( 'Tags:', 'buddypress' ),'', '', ''); ?></span> <span class="comments"></span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"></div>
<div class="alignright"></div>
</div>
<h2 class="center"></h2>
<p class="center">
</div>
When I load this page, the posts dont load. What am I doing wrong here.
I’m having problems installing BP with my WP 3.1.3. Keep getting an error message
“The parent theme is missing. Please install the “bp-default” parent theme.”
I’m not sure what version of WP I was running before but my whole site had to be deleted and Im trying to recreate my site. Actually this is the third time and I need to probably do it from scratch as I tried to upload my back up files and got a 500 server error.
Can someone point me into the right direction? or is there someone I can pay to install?
Thanks for your time in responding.
Frustrated!!!
BuddyPress’s registration page and process don’t use the hooks WP-reCAPTCHA is expecting.
Here’s a small (~40 lines) plugin to make the reCAPTCHA field show up and be processed during registration. This has only been tested on single-site installs, and probably won’t work (or will mess up) a multi-site install, because that will trigger different behavior from WP-reCAPTCHA.

So sorry I didn’t see your request for more help. I have my settings to be notified of any @mentions and replies to my forum posts but for some reason I did not receive any notification that you had replied. Not sure if it’s a problem with BuddyPress.org notifications or what.
Anyway, it’s probably too late and you hopefully found a solution already, but I’ll post this here just in case you or anyone else are still looking for a way to disable the random visit menu in the BuddyPress admin bar without disabling the admin bar itself.
Rather than explain the inadequate solution of changing #bp-adminbar-visitrandom-menu display to none in the stylesheet, let me give the function override solution instead:
In your theme’s footer.php file, right BEFORE it says “, add the following code:
`
<?php
if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
remove_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_random_menu’, 100 );
}
?>
`
That’s if you want the random visit menu to be removed only for users who are not logged in.
If you want it to be removed for all users, whether or not they’re logged in, use this simpler code instead:
`
<?php
remove_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_random_menu’, 100 );
?>
`
I see that the font for the code I just posted is not clearly legible in places. Please note that the remove_action line ends with a semi-colon ;
HTH

Sure you can create a Page Template and use that to create a new page – especially for the “blog” portion of the site. You can create category-buildings.php and that will show up with all your posts in said category.
Is BuddyPress installed in the same WP where your 84 existing posts are?
Are you using a child theme of bp-default or a WP theme with BP Template Pack?
BP/WP versions?
== integrating Buddypress onto the Genesis Framework ==
@apriljoy217 The Genesis Framework has its own “Genesis Connect” plugin to make the Genesis theme compatible with BuddyPress.
Thanks 4ella! Just sent you an email. We don’t sync profile fields yet, but we have some other features that make us more interesting than the other Facebook connect plugins out there.
I’ve used firebug to look at the forums on the site I’m building – rebeccadavidsonextremecouponing.com.
I have GenesisConnect, so many of the attributes of my Child theme are inherited by Buddypress. However, I DO NOT want this. Where and how can I change the width of the buddypress pages, as well as remove the subnav image that it’s inheriting from my current images on my child theme?
Also, is there an easier way to manage forums (say from the WP dashboard….like you can with BB press?) Instead of doing it through the actual page?
I should have said multiple WordPress sites are not good on $5 hosting. BBPress is changing to a WordPress Plugin and would probably not require as much resources. FaceBook connect creates WordPress users. Users can use BuddyPress or Next version of BBPress from WordPress user accounts.

Sometimes, you just have to get your hands dirty to get stuff done 
@pcwriter
Thanks!
I had seen that, I just thought there was an easier process. Gonna give it a go.
