Thanks for your fast answer. I already use oembedd for buddypress and videos urls are working. But when I post a image url only the link shows up?!
Very possible in multiple ways, to embed an image in status updates.
1. Install @r-a-y’s handy plugin, oembed for buddypress: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/oembed-for-buddypress/ Whuch gives you the ability to just post the link inside the update and it will appear. It works for videos also.
2. If you don’t want to install that plugin, you can just put the image inside image src tags: `![]()
`
There is also an album plugin which allows your users to upload pictures in their profile albums, and then insert them into status updates.
Good luck! 
hi totally new in buddypress so is there any one who can help me throughout my buddypress site
@allivant I see you installed BP template pack. You will need to make adjustments to the HTML structure of the template pack files transferred over to your WP theme folder during the process. You need to download those folders and files to your computer, revise per your WP theme structure and upload revisions to theme folder in server.

It is only on buddypress pages. Does the sidebar normally shift to the left if there isn’t enough content? I didn’t think it would. That line under the Groups and Members widget should only be the width of the widget.
Well what do you want to be done?
This isn’t really a buddypress issue, unless it’s only on buddypress pages.
Hi there!
I’m planning to use Buddypress for a social network connecting people of several subcultures. I like how everything matches my needs perfectly, there is only one caveat:
My users and everyone who thinks about registering are constantly asking me for a way to customise their profile pages. Like on MySpace. It’s not the technically most sophisticated request in the world and i’ve stumbled over several people already asking for it
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/css-for-member-page
http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/custom-profile-theme-for-buddypresseducleanwpmu
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/xprofile-custom-fields-profile-user-css-customization/ just to name a few.
What i need is a plugin that queries a database for several CSS values on a per-user basis and fills them into the CSS code of that user’s profile: background image, font colour, link colour ..that sort of thing. An an editor a normal human can use. Members attach themselves far more to a website that gives them at least a littlebit of control about their appearance. I don’t care too much about the number of sql queries, cache load or all that. No use in a fast site nobody uses. I want to be able to offer my members a place they call home, even if it only took a few clicks to make it. Amazing, but it works, as many people still cling onto MS for exactly that reason.
I know people will say users will go overboard with it and create a MySpace nightmare and some easy themes will suffice, but that is not the case and what i need.
The problem is, i cannot code. I’m not rich either, but since this sort of plugin is apparently in demand maybe someone will find interest in it and i’m willing to spend at least $50 on a working solution to help the cause.
And i’m serious about it. Please make this happen
1st. This is a Buddypress support forum only, not questions about wordpress plugins.
2. There are many plugins out there that would fit your taste, you must go searching for the right one, not us.
3. Don’t bump posts more than once every 24 hours.
Hello, I want to display the total forum post count on the topic.php right next to the avatar.
I tried both @boonebgorges code, and the other, but all the counts some up as “2” when there clearly more than 2.
Can somebody help me?
Hmm logins should be the same here as on trac but there may be issues, we’ll put a shout out to @DJPaul @boonebgorges see if they can fix anything.
Back to validating and well formed code; of course the one bug bear in all this is the nature of plugin coding which tends to throw a huge spanner in the works, well from a theming point of view, but can be equally frustrating when you activate a plugin to find you’ll need to spend half a day hacking it to output valid code.
http://codex.buddypress.org/?s=roles gives me a blank page. I’d really like to learn more about roles.
hi,
have Wp 3.0.5 BP 1.2.7 and for me autocomplete works only for admin (code for all users by ray works too).
tried all the methods above and not only, except @xavieremerson , could you be more specific please, since I am unable to understand what exactly/how/where should be changed.
do not have any errors, simply autocomplete does not show any results for my users.
Is it fixed issue in BP 1.2.8?
thanks.
@hnla – I second all of that. Using a Transitional DTD is about as appealing to me as switching to IE6, and repeated use of the same id in the loop is plain wrong and nasty. I’ve tried to log into trac to post there with the same credentials as I use for logging in here, but it doesn’t work.

Registering on our site is best for this kind of stuff:
http://shabushabu.eu/
You will have access to parts of the support forums there, one of which is for feature requests. After you bought the plugin you will also get access to the Buddyvents support forum, where you can post specific requests.
In case you want to comission an add-on, it is best to contact me by email, which can be found here:

Thanks!
Hi guys, I found a solution and credited this thread here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bbpress-posting-errors-missing-database-tables/
Check your database tables and make sure all of the necessary tables for bbPress have been created in your installation. In my case I was missing the bb_post table (the one involved in actually posting a topic) – it was failing to install properly due to an error in MySQL syntax – all explained in my thread. By downgrading my MySQL version I was able to install bbPress successfully – the missing table (bb_post) was created and I was then able to post forum topics in my groups without any error!
I may have found another solution to this problem here:

SUCCESS!
I just made my first successful Group/Forum post in the past 2 days of troubleshooting!
The solution : Downgraded my version of MySQL – as the newer(or newest) version has known hiccups with some people in creating database tables (in this case, my installation was failing to create bb_posts) :
By downgrading my version of MySQL I was able to successfully install bbPress with a fresh copy (I did this manually but am positive it would work with single-click installation as well) – and the missing table (bb_posts) was created during my fresh installation.
I sincerely hope this helps someone else out there as I know the ‘error creating topic’ dilemma has affected many people and there are lots of different solutions. Some of us simply need to try the methods mentioned in other threads (deleting forum_id value, or re-enabling forum option in group admin) –
Others are actually dealing with database issues, including missing table(s). This was my case, and I was missing that table because of a MySQL syntax error during installation of bbPress – fixed by downgrading my MySQL version on my WAMP server. (Hate to repeat myself but I know it’s important to be clear).
I have to thank the posters in the thread I linked in the OP for suggesting a manual installation (and hnla for linking to that thread in another topic) – it was by doing a manual installation that I was able to see the error report and pinpoint which database table in particular was failing to install properly, and why (MySQL syntax error).
As for your question on the versions I am using, hnla:
I am running WordPress 3.1 with BuddyPress 1.2.7 and bbPress 1.0.3.
My server is WAMP Server 2.
Well – I’ve made progress already : I did a clean re-install of WordPress, then bbPress –
Doing a manual install of bbPress is helpful (for those having issues) because if there are any issues with installation (which may be occuring during a single click install as well) it will be laid out in the post-installation error report. I’m sure there is an error report log somewhere after a single-click installation I just haven’t bothered to look for one –
In any case I googled the error coming up on my report :
`You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘TYPE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ‘utf8” at line 16`
and found mention of errors with SQL syntax involving utf8 on many other sites (not just for bbpress) – the general consensus is that the newer version(s) of MYsQL sometimes have hiccups with utf8 during table creation (I have no idea why). In particular I am running a WAMP server with MySQL version 5.5.8
Seeing as BuddyPress has a min. requirement of MySQL version 4.x (something, hehe) – I figured I would try to run a manual install with a lower version of MySQL, so I installed 5.1.40 (arbitrary, could have used any version I’m sure) : WAMP Server 2 makes this very easy by the way, simply mouse over your MySQL -> Version -> and click ‘More’. You can then toggle between versions.
In any case, with MySQL 5.1.40 installed I was able to do the manual install and there were no errors reported! And checking my database I now see that bb_posts was successfully installed!
Testing now to see if this made any changes in the forum errors I’ve been having with bbPress + BuddyPress.
@hnla –
Thanks! I was sure I was missing at least one or many database tables, and I suppose my error report from the manual install is making it clear that I’m missing bb_posts.
Manual installation of bbpress consists of downloading it in a zip (available on the bbpress site) installing it on the server much like wordpress was installed – and then integrating it with wordpress (which allows it later to be used with buddypress):
The guide I use for manual installation and wordpress integration:
http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress
I always successfully install bbpress but not without the above posted errors. Although manual installation was suggested as a fix to the common posting errors problem it makes no difference for me as the database table “bb_posts” fails to be created whether I do a single-click install or manual.
As for your statement
`It’s not wasting peoples time to suggest all possible solutions to a problem that is difficult to pin down to an exact cause`
– I created this thread specifically for people who have pinned down part of the problem – namely that we are missing database table(s) after installation. So maybe we can tackle whatever is causing that issue in particular.
Ive been trying to hide the groups tab in header.php by using `if($status=”approved”)` .. show the tab. But I cant get it to work. Am I meant to add anything extra?
Could anyone shed some light as to how I can check if the member has been aproved in my themes files please? I also have a custom function where I
