I noticed this, from buddypress 1.2.7, or (could be 1.2.6 too) that when somebody joins a group, it no longer shows up in the group’s activity stream.
“member” joined the group “groupname” This 100% disappeared, how do I get it back?
@stefrusso The heck with it — I just went into the database and hand-edited the description field in table wp_bp_xprofile_fields. 
@r-a-y is awesome at figuring out these hooks and hacks…. if he can figure out how to do this on the forums, I’ll donate, or anyone else who can
I successfully installed BuddyPress (WP 3.0.4, with a multisite network installed).
Everything seems to be working A-OK except I can’t see any users.
I’ve created a few test users, and I have a bunch of existing users. When I click on the Members tab, I see:
“Sorry, no members were found”
I also tried setting up a Group – worked fine. Set up a Forum topic – check. Activity – check.
The only thing that doesn’t seem to be working is the Members. I also tried adding friends and that did not work either. I supposed b/c there are no members (even though there are).
How do I fix this? Should I reinstall the plugin?
Thanks!
Has anyone got/seen a tutorial/reference/tips/how-to’s/anything for the best way to setup robots.txt and a sitemap for buddypress components. I’ve literally searched all day with no success in finding anything. I’ve tried the bp sitemap generator but haven’t had luck getting it work work, the files get generated but I get a error invalid feed template and google won’t accept it. So if anyone could pass a little good energy this way…i’d be appreciate it.
How to setup sitemap generator for BP and Any other suggestions on what to put in the robots.txt would be cool….thanks
@cmroybal When software is tried and true like WordPress and you have issues at install. It’s usually the install process. That’s why I suggest a different install method. also the same thing has happened to me before with one clicks and now I never use them.
@modemlooper
Thanks for the advice. It took thecoup actually replicating my process to convince me. I’m just glad it all worked out.
@cmroybal I told you that on the first reply. LOL.
Please don’t just say to go to the etivite forums because he abandoned them.
Hello, if you notice, on the etivite site, there is some css stuff I need help on… I am trying to get the buigger avatar, and the buigger CSS for the first post, like here, http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/forum/topic/quick-tip-hide-activity-updates-andor-replies-by-types-for-non-logged-visitors-in-users/
I have a basic CSS made, but it does not work whatever I do!!!!
`ul#topic-post-list li.first {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF !important;
font-size: 125%;
padding-left: 35px;
}
ul#topic-post-list li.first div.post-content {
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-left: 73px;
margin-top: 15px;
}
ul#topic-post-list li.first div.admin-links {
top: 5px !important;`
Another thing, would be awesome, is you see how he has the “Started %% by %%” Latest Reply from %
How do you get that also?
(if you notice I am sort of trying to get away from the basic buddypress forums)
I’ve fixed the same problem in my buddypress child theme.
I put a copy of header.php in the child theme and replaced the line:
`
<a href="” title=””>
`
with this one
`
`
Seems to work.
@thecoup
I can confirm that your method to troubleshoot my particular problem was successful.
So the final verdict: Do not use Dreamhost’s One-Click Installs to install WordPress if you want to use BuddyPress. Instead, do a manual WordPress install and continue from there.
Thanks to everyone for their help! Hope this information saves other people headaches in the future.
Yup, andrea_r is spot-on!
Go to testbp.org to see how a default BuddyPress install looks like.
This is already built in? If I type in @youlichika you will see it in your activity stream here. Just go look at your profile.
You can modify the registration template to remove the blog creation checkbox.
If you’re using the bp-default theme, create a child theme and then copy over /bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php to your theme.
Change this:
`
<input type="checkbox" name="signup_with_blog" id="signup_with_blog" value="1" checked=”checked” />
`
to:
“
Next, change:
`
I am the “culprit”; I edited the codex page as it was a little too confusing in my eyes.
I also wanted to remove the step to create a bp-custom.php file, as it is unnecessary in BP 1.2.7 and up.
I’ve just taken some time to update the codex page once more:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
And am using @modemlooper ‘s screenshot from:

Feel free to edit!
No takers on this? Sorry to bump it.
I’ve gotten to the point where the friendship is accepted but the friendship status doesn’t seem to be updated. The notification still says “Friendship Requested” and the “Add Friend” button changes to say “Friendship Requested”. I can’t work out which step I’m missing as I still don’t really know how BuddyPress stores and works with all this stuff.
@josemv you are an absolute star mate, thank you very much that is exactly what I was after.
@acaps2007 here you go mate, as requested I have copied a few of the ones that I have put onto my site, should let you get the idea if used in conjunction with the link that josemv provided.

@wpoooooo there is small issue in 0.7.0, contact the author and he will send you updated version
tried code of @antonrsa from pastebin, same issue:
The page at http://example.com/groups/name/ could not be reached.
and again it shows that I like the group, but at facebook.com – nothing.
tried to add facebook like to profiles, activities etc.
(as base took: http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-the-global-facebook-like-button-to-buddypress-profiles-and-activity-stream-items/)
always face same problem:
error: Page could not be reached…
however, in error description it always shows correct url and user’s “like” seems to be accepted, but is not displayed at his facebook page.
there are a lot of topics re this issue in internet (like replace & with &), but no one seems to solve the issue.
maybe someone has some solution for BuddyPress?
thanks.
@imjscn try hunting for a plugin called KB robots text it allows you to edit the WP robots text from the dashboard and might be handy to have available.
