I really love BuddyPress, but that does not mean no one makes me resentful. One of them is BuddyPress custom settings that will return to the default each time is disabled and then enabled again, or when it is upgraded. Is there a way to create BuddyPress custom settings permanently, for example through the wp-config?
If you mean in blog posts / page comments you can do this using the following:
`ol.commentlist .bypostauthor .comment-meta{
whatever you want here
}`
*You can also do without .comment-meta just depends on what style you want to add
There is a patch coming in 1.3 I think you can see here done by @DJPaul: https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/2748/2748-1.patch
I noticed that link does not exist on the members’ groups’ page in my version of BP.
I used: `bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Create a Group’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘create’, ‘parent_url’ => $groups_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘groups_screen_create_group’, ‘position’ => 50 ));` after line 154 in bp-groups.php (I think we use the default theme).
The link gets created successfully and works and takes you to the create a group page. But I get a warning that that `screen_function` does not exist. If I omit `screen_function` from the parameters (or if I set it to the empty string `”`) the link does not get created.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks @r-a-y v.helpful
Here is a small improvement, because depending on the name of the group e.g. “home group” you could get a false positive here with the previous strpos function
`
<?php
function redirect_to_forum() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER );
$path = apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $path );
if ( bp_is_group_home() && $bp->current_action == $bp->bp_options_nav )
bp_core_redirect( apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $bp->bp_options_nav) );
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_to_forum’ );
?>
`
hi andrea, I fix that problem… redirect link broken
but… still login page go to admin page…
no, I was referring to the fact that core wordpress only shows a user’s blog under “My sites” that they are admin on.
If you alreayd have users with blog, and then add buddypress, then yes – this has been a persistant issues. BP doesn’t automagically go find them all.
Are you on a Windows server?
“Permission denied” means look at the physical file or folder on the server. WP or bbpress does not have permission to write to it. (CHMOD)
No idea what;s up with your links, but all the slashes are stripped out.
I experienced the same issue on my local dev server, but once I enabled the plugin online it works fine.
I suspect the issue is down to which php modules are(n’t) enabled in my MAMP install, but are enabled on my host.
Just as an update, its not working in IE anymore so I tried deactivating all the plugins, uninstalling Buddypress, rebooting the server and reinstalling buddypress with no plug-ins active and I still had the same issue with the links not loading. I know it’s not the theme because my theme works fine on my test site. Any other ideas? Maybe its is a php, javascirpt or ajax issue or memory leak of some kind? I’m not sure what is used to make those links load. Any more help is very appreciated.
It’s possible to highlight author comments in posts, but it’s possible to do the same all over a buddypress site, for admins, for authors, moderators, and chosen usernames?
hi, andrea, how to fix this ?
see:
external bbpress installation:
setup work
but still the broken link:
Internal bbpress installation :
occurs this error: “Permission denied”
Hello friends! I’m trying to do my small network). I don’t have russian translated buddypress so some of components doesn’t work..thought maybe there is another reason why that it is. Im creating test group with cirilic name “?????? ??????? ???????!” (http://mygoodwish.ru/groups/). Group created with such result writing my browser “BAD REQUEST”. When i’m trying to delete this group i can’t. My browser writin “BAD REQUEST” (Intrested, if i create group with short name like “????” it’s working ok).
And when i’m trying to change link structure from http://mygoodwish.ru/2010/12/sample-post to http://mygoodwish.ru/?p=123 buddypress pages writing me “BAD REQUEST”.
Sorry for my bad english)
Hi @andrea_r,
Do you mean it is natural that the buddypress plugins is re-activated in order to show site blog under each user’s My Blogs?
Sorry, but I am not with you…
How about your buddypress site? Each user does not have site blog under their My Blogs unless the re-activation of buddypress plugin?
If so, I will report it as a bug to the tracker, since it does not hapen only for me, and I really do want this to be fixed.
Anyway, aren’t there any other people seeing the same thing happening?
@r-a-y, If I am using the previous version, will it totally mess it all up?
I tried to do it manually before, but I could not find the original to replace with new, thinking it was because I was not using 1.2.6
I am rather new to BuddyPress but have a question about how the forum topic tags are being displayed. The tags that appear multiple times are bigger as normal seem to be too large to fit inside the given area.

Hi,
In my project http://www.aizon.me I need to send weekly personalized email to all members.
Email will be based on users data and their activity.
Is it possible to do it with buddypress.
@imjscn, Color is CSS, therefore probably being in the buddypress default.css file?
Probably Under:
*Error/Success Messages
find:
}
div#message.error p {
background: #e41717;
color: #fff;
border-color: #a71a1a;
clear: left;
}
It spells it out for you from there 
What I am talking about is the administrator account. The mention identifier is “@admin” Right next to name,
My admin account username for wordpress is different, therefore the mention not being correct as “@admin“, as it shows on my profile.
Does this make sense?

@boonebgorges
Bingo! A straight copy/paste of the given example worked like a charm.
A bit of customization and voilà… I’m a happy camper!
Thanks 
When the admin account is created for buddypress, the @mention is “@admin“.
I’m not sure what this means. BP doesn’t create any admin accounts. It uses the same accounts as your WP installation. As long as you have WP 3.0+, you should have had the opportunity to select your admin login name when you signed up.
Can you be more specific about where you are seeing @admin show up incorrectly? In the member header? Or in activity items? Or elsewhere?
Notifications for at-mentions will be in BP 1.3: https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3403
Your messaging problem sounds strange, like your installation somehow got corrupted, or like you have a plugin conflict. Are you running any other BP-related plugins? Try deactivating them and turning on the BuddyPress Default theme for the sake of testing; that will help determine whether the problem is with BP, or your BP configuration, or with third-party add-ons.
@r-a-y I think my issue is beyond a simple email issue. I installed the email plugin you mentioned just to humor the situation. When I try to send a private message I get redirected to the homepage of my site. So I could either be experiencing a 404 error or some other similar problem.
Also Im not even getting notifications at the recipient. I also do not have a message in the senders sent message box nor in the recipients inbox.
Thanks,
