It’s hard to answer this one, but if you remember to a word or a sentence from the thread you found earlier, you can try to use google operators to find it.
example google search: site:Buddypress.org “crop image”

Hello,
Just installed BP and really like it, but I have a small problem.
My site uses a plugin what imports content from other sites, it also imports comments.
Now since buddypress activated all the imported comment authors changed to the wp admin user.
If I check the comments on the backend it shows the original (imported) usernames, but on the frontpage it all changes to admin. If I deactivate BP the problem dissappears.
WP:5.1.1
BP:4.2.0
Theme:Bimber
I tryed searching the plugin code to find what exactly overwrites the author but no luck, tried to turn on/off all default wp “disscussion” settings, BP settings but no luck.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
Hi there,
Yes emails can be difficult to diagnose because sometimes they are sent but not accepted by the destination email host.
The first thing to do is to deactivate all plugins and see if that corrected it.
IF that fails, try switching to a default theme such as 2017.
Next thing to try is reinstall your BP Emails in Admin>>Tools>>BuddyPress.
If they are still not being sent then you need to turn on WP-DEBUG and see if there are any errors being produced.
If they are still not being sent, then deactivate BuddyPress and see if the standard WordPress emails are being sent.
Some people have got to this point and fixed it by installing an alternative WP Email engine, as it was down to their hosting provider not allowing the WordPress emails through.
Hi,
Yes indeed. I followed youre advice and found it. In the past when i deactivated all the plugins, there was always 1 security plugin that i let active together with buddypress. Turns out it was the security plugin givin a problem. One of the settings in the plugin was installed that i need to give users manually premission. I changed the settings and new users can register the normal way.
Thank you for youre help.
Hi, there.
I am having trouble finding what exactly could be the error on my site that I am not receiving emails!
Like for an instance, if I register I do not get an activation link and when I go to the Pending User List and send the activation email from there, the email is sent. But when I instantly again send the activation email the email is not sent.
Another instance like, if I change my password I receive the email at first but again if I change it, I won’t receive an email.
What could be the issue here? This is so frustrating as I cannot know what is going on with my site!
Is BuddyPress causing an problem!!?
Thanks in advance.
I have been researching a plugin that allows for users to flag material or content as inappropriate. Unfortunately, after many tries of installing and activating BuddyPress Moderation, it breaks my site and gives me a 404 Error. Are there any alternatives that work just as good?
Hello,
I am working on one of my project with buddypress, but when user goes to thier profile it will show his extended profile fields data but when user clink on edit tab from front end it will not show any option to edit the profile from front end.
How can I give access to user to edit their profiles from front end instead of going to backend.
Please help me for this, I am looking for the solution but didin’t find anything for this
Thanks in advance
Thanks for your quick reply. The mentioned thread was just to show that someone has already tried to find a solution.
I have no coding skills at all, but I guess someone – either BuddyPress or YOAST team would have to make changes to their code in order to solve the issue. Can you please go ahead and raise the issue on Trac? If someone asks specific questions there, I most probably could not give the right answers.
Regards,
Martin
I guess the next step would be to raise an issue on Trac, since this sounds like you are wanting a change to the way the code works. include the link to the Yoast discussion.
Hello again,
the YOAST team has confirmed the BuddyPress conflict and told me to contact the BuddyPress developers – it’s the back and forth game situation.
https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/12435#issuecomment-479479079
Can you please get in contact witch each other? Maybe you can sort things together. I am sure that a lot of users including me would gratefully appreciate your effort.
Maybe this thread could help to find a solution:
Making WordPress SEO plugin compatible with BuddyPress
Thank you in advance and all the best,
Martin
We are looking for MEMBERSHIP PLUGIN that will fulfill these requirements…
Login once. Pay as you wish.
Set up username and password which is automatically integrated with buddypress and mailchimp.
1- fill out payment details. name. email. payment choice Allowing users to “set their own price” for membership
2- Check box below payment field…”make this a one time contribution”….”make this a monthly contribution”
3-hiding wordpress dashboard and redirect users from having to create a wordpress user login
It sounds like something is messing with the user database lookups, have you tried deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and trying?
Hey @werny,
I’ve just added this to the repository. It doesn’t do anything advanced, but is free!
Toolkit for BuddyPress
This is what my form looks like when I upload Buddypress. Any suggestions. 🙂
Activity
I guess the first thing to check is that you have a page configured to be the activation page. If you look in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Pages you can check there. You won’t be able to access the activation page while logged in, so log out and see if you can access the activate page manually, without the activation key. does that work?
@venutitus
I found unchecking ‘Activity auto-refresh’ in Buddypress settings has temp fixed.
Still need to locate real issue
Is there a way to recognize registering users?
I want to track/recognize the users who sign up with buddypress
Example:
I send an invitation code via email to a user (example http://www.mydomain.com/register/code=44444)
If the user signs up after a while, I can recognize him later (I know that this is this user).
Only me as admin should be able to see that info in his profile.
Is that possible or is there a plugin for that?
Hi,
I would like to ask help. I have a problem that when users try to register they can’t acces the site with the activation key they receive. They receive the email, once they click on the link there is a message: 404 This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it? I tried many things: I deactivated all plugins except buddypress, i changed the kleo theme in to the 2017 theme.
This is an old problem I had, i used a plugin called -Auto Login New User After Registration-. I deactivated the problem i still there. I also have another website, i don’t have that problem on that. New users after registration receive an email with a link that goes to a page that they can use the activation key.
Do you have an idea what cause this, and how i could resolve?
Thank you very much
@Venutius I am using BuddyPress Legacy.
Which BP Theme are you using ( Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options ) then I can be more accurate in my testing.
Hi @Venutius thank you for your reply.
I put the below code into wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php. I also enabled the default WP 2016 theme, and tried disabling all my plugins except BP. The autocomplete is still not showing up when friends connection is disabled.
When I have friends connection enabled, the autocomplete works to show a list of Friends only.
I’m not sure why this is not working. Does the AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL still work in BuddyPress 4.2?
define( 'BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL', true );
When I run WPT Custom Mo File, it returns this error: “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.”
I have performed the PoEdit process you described and uploaded the files to the directories I stated earlier. The message was unchanged.
Neither process as described in https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ seems to work.
More suggestions? Is there a php (or other) file I could edit?
I (1) downloaded buddypress.pot; (2) made the changes to it using a text editor; (3) copied buddypress.pot to buddypress-en_US.po; (4) used poedit to create buddypress-en_US.mo; (5) copied all 3 files to /wp-content/languages/plugins/; (6) tested Register; (7) messages unchanged.
So I (1) copied all 3 files to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/; (2) tested Register; (3) messages unchanged.
What did I do wrong?
That’s great! It took me a while to figure it out and it would have definitely been a downer if it didn’t work.
I also worked out how to combine all of the activity types onto one page here https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-combine-activity-tabs-to-one/ it may also be of interest.
