This is strange because this works for me really well with twenty-seventeen and BuddyPress.
Hi,
You can use this function bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() to do so.
Also, please check these plugins: https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-username-changer/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
@Commandrea – After adding the patch in Paid Memberships Pro – BuddyPress Add On, did the automatic friend requests disappear, or did you have to do something else to eliminate the automatic friend requests?
Hi, elizat801
It seems like your theme or any third party plugin is creating the issue there. It works fine with the default theme like twenty-seventeen.
You can take a backup of the site and then check by enabling default theme and if the button appears then certainly you have to ask your theme devs to check once. If the theme looks fine then try disabling plugins, except BuddyPress, one by one to check which one caused the issue.
Thanks
Ok, I found the problem. Clicking on Author’s names was actually linking to:
renderwars.xyz/author/michael
when it should have been linking to:
renderwars.xyz/members/michael
for buddypress to work properly I had to create a child theme and then add a redirect rule in the child themes functions.php file.
For anyone else with the same problem who might not be too good at php etc, here’s the instructins I found to help me:
Creating a child theme:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
and then putting this code in the function.php:
add_filter( 'author_link', 'change_author_link', 10, 1 );
function change_author_link($link) {
$username=get_the_author_meta('user_nicename');
$link = 'http://example.com/members/' . $username;
return $link;
}
Hi,
To enter bio you can create a profile field https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/extended-profiles/ and then from the profile you can enter the bio.
For the post list, you need customizations.
Thanks
There’s no planned overlap. BuddyPress doesn’t provide any Gutenberg blocks.
If you’re referring to some of the extended profile field types that allow HTML, I expect those will stay as TinyMCE for now.
Sorry for the late reply. I have contacted them and run every email test together with no issue. The plugin successful you recommended send the test email, but BuddyPress is not still sending the activation email. I am beginning to give up on buddy press.
Hi,
BuddyPress does not send any password. It always sends an activation email and after activating your account by clicking on the link sent in the mail you have to log in with your entered password.
There must be any third party plugin or any custom code that is sending the password in the mail.
Thanks
i found out that it only work when i try to remove a core buddypress nav like ‘messages’ or ‘friends’. With a custom nav or subnav it doesn’t work. Any ideas why?
Me too, @patjk.
Did you manage to create a reading community with buddypress?
@misterneck,
I can recommend this review block for Gutenberg . It is not buddypress, though. But if you allow your WP users to be authors, then they can easily write reviews.
Cheers
Yes I am using restrict content pro with buddypress & wp job manager. Now I can Restrict a candidate to post a job as I can restrict the “post a job” page with restrict content pro plugin. But the main problem is that anyone can post a job from buddypress profile as I have integrated buddypress with wp job manager as restrict content pro cannot be integrated with buddypress without buying a paid plugin. Now is there a way to restrict some features in buddypress, so that candidates cannot apply for a job from buddypress.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Venutius, Thanks for your help. Incredible, the issue came from “BuddyPress Multi Network Plugin Network” 🙂 himself. I desactivated it, and I can now create new Groups. I just hope than new Register Users for this “MU-blog” on my Network don’t be mixed with my others MU-Blogs subscribers.
But nouw, I got a new problem : connected as Super-Admin, I create a group, but I forgot to choose a Cover-Group banner ; image, and I don’t see button or link to choose or upload a new-one.
Any idea ?
Thanks a lot for your time. Best regards 🙂
I, also something related to this topic will love to get help.
How do i use different form for my buddypress registration page. I will appreciate all assistance.
Thanks.
Thanks for replying Prashant.
I would like to only change the login link on that particular page for my members.
I still plan to keep my login for myself as an admin: https://fitness101.nz/login
I need my website users to login with my Restrict Content Pro plugin’s login: https://fitness101.nz/members-login/
The problem is that BuddyPress activation page directs my members to the admin login page.
Everytime I need to go back to admin section, tools -> buddypress.
Let me explain, as you are using Memberpress registration so you are not following BuddyPress user activation process which is ‘User registers on your site and then they get an activation mail where they get a link and by clicking that they activate their account and as soon as they log in the count gets updated.’
So here one can disable activation email and then can go to the Users screen and there can activate them manually and as soon as they log in there on the site they will be listed there.
Normally if people are not deactivating BuddyPress activation mail then I suggest them this plugin https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-autologin-on-activation/ so that their users get logged-in automatically as soon as they activate their account and in this way, BuddyPress will receive it’s active members data and count will be fine there.
Right now it seems like you are having issues there due to Memberpress registration. I will suggest you auto-login them on registration and redirect them to their BuddyPress profile and in this way, you do not have to go and do that count fix again and again hopefully.
Thanks
