hmm, with the recent changes in WP it’s not that straightforward. You’d need to download the files from the BP SVN here https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/tags/2.9.4/ and for that you would need an SVN browser such as tortoise SVN. One you had the files you would also need FTP access to your site, to rename the current BP directory in plugins to something else (buddypress-3.0 for example) and then copy the 2.9.4 files into a new buddypress directory. then you could test it.
Looks like there was removed groups forum activation from create.php
<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'forums' ) ) : ?>
<h4><?php _e( 'Group Forums', 'buddypress' ); ?></h4>
<?php if ( bp_forums_is_installed_correctly() ) : ?>
<p><?php _e( 'Should this group have a forum?', 'buddypress' ); ?></p>
<div class="checkbox">
<label for="group-show-forum"><input type="checkbox" name="group-show-forum" id="group-show-forum" value="1"<?php checked( bp_get_new_group_enable_forum(), true, true ); ?> /> <?php _e( 'Enable discussion forum', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
</div>
<?php elseif ( is_super_admin() ) : ?>
<p><?php printf( __( '<strong>Attention Site Admin:</strong> Group forums require the <a href="%s">correct setup and configuration</a> of a bbPress installation.', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_do_network_admin() ? network_admin_url( 'settings.php?page=bb-forums-setup' ) : admin_url( 'admin.php?page=bb-forums-setup' ) ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Hello,
Starting from BuddyPress 3.0 we have removed support for the deprecated and unsupported bbPress 1.x that was bundled with BuddyPress.
As written in our release post:
Most notably, the Legacy Forums component has been removed after 9 years of service. If your site was using Legacy Forums, you need to migrate to the bbPress plugin.
And here is our general bbPress 2.x forum installation guide:
Installing Group and Sitewide Forums
So, @m1000, please follow the migration guide and move everything forum-related to bbPress 2.x, which is faster and overall works better.
You should raise this on BuddyPrss Trac as a bug.
It will help you to set default template pack for the theme, little confusing for now as site admin’s choices will not work inside BuddyPress Option after defining add_theme_support.
You can define following
add_theme_support('buddypress-use-nouveau');
or
add_theme_support('buddypress-use-legacy');
Yes I understand!
“buddypress-use-legacy” ? I can not find anything in the documentation about this. Is it a constant?
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
@devoctopix it will be hard to keep support for both templates in a single theme. You can force Legacy via ‘buddypress-use-legacy’ on existing themes.
Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to build a theme compatible with both existing template packs (nouveau and legacy).
For MYTHEME/buddypress/members/members-loop.php can we have MYTHEME/buddypress/bp-nouveau/members/members-loop.php and MYTHEME/buddypress/bp-legacy/members/members-loop.php ?
And how to manage the fact that the theme can be used for BP3.0+ and BP2.9.X ?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
This is how it happened. We got an email from registered members that they are being spam. Another member was sending them SPAM messages.
The mail sent to them contained the name of the member so we searched for it. We also got the spammer’s account username and link by checking the affected members messages directly under their profile page on the frontend. The spammer has a profile page already. However, the username could not be found in the users section of the backend.
Then we checked users that have not activated their account or received the activation email through a plugin named Unconfirmed.
That was when we found the spammer info meaning the spammer has not activated his/her account yet but is already interacting with the community.
That I cannot explain why it happened. It seems even though the user has not activated his/her account, he/she is already recognized by buddypress.
Regards
Hi,
I’m reading lots of posts that are a 18 mo’s to more than two years old. So I thought to re-ask the question, hoping for some more current advice.
How can I stop Spam Users from registering?
WordPress 4.9.6 running Idyllic theme.
BuddyPress Version 2.9.4
Site https://insideouthope.org
What’s the plugin, combination of them or other treatment we can deploy that will best insulate our real community from vermin?
My inclination is to blacklist/whitelist domains somehow.
Thanks in advance for your considered response(s).
@mckennapoole checked at your site, You have added custom css to hide mandatory fields
remove it from custom css section
#buddypress .standard-form #profile-details-section {
display: none;
}
After that, it will work
I have registered at your site and it worked

Is the student sidebar widget a learndash add-on, or are you using the BuddyPress Members widget?
Sorted using the code from :https://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-message-friends-only/
One question will the messages still be stored in the database even if the message isnt sent? I dont want these spammers filling up my database with junk..
🙂
BuddyPress does not offer reply to comments by email.
@emmanuel1234
You can check
Members Loop
It has explained how to modify loop filtering by Xprofile fields
Thanks again for the help! This post, https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-customize-the-order-of-fields-of-registration/, led me to the answer: the function bp_get_the_profile_field_name() returns the ‘friendly’ name of the field, i.e., that which is defined in wp-content\plugins\<my-plugin>\include\users\profile.php as the label parameter for the field.
Seems site-specific issues, could be possible due to any plugin conflict. You can try to debug it with deactivating other plugins except for BuddyPress one by one.
You’d probably need to look at overloading the activity input form and edit it to achieve what you require. the source file is plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php this should be copied to themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php and you can then edit that file.
One warning though, BP is changing the way activities are entered with BP Nouveau so if you pln on using BP-Nouveau in future you may need to explore other alternatives.
The other troubleshooting steps are as follows:
1. confirm the page that hold thebp content exist and are linked in Settings>>Buddypress>>pages.
2. Confirm it’s not a plugin conflict – deactivate all other plugins.
3. Confirm it’s not a theme conflict – switch to 2017 and test.
Hello
I’ve installed BuddyPress 3.0 Beta2 and set Dashboard>>Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options to buddypress BP-Nouveau. But there is some problem for activity stream.
1.When you reply to an activity in the stream, after clicked “publish” button,Not responding.You must refresh the page and then you can see the reply content.
2.Can’t upload media from sitewide user activity stream.There are two button below every user publish an activity.”upload”,”media attachement”. But when you click the button,there is no responding.
I’ve chose all options in Buddypress setting. And if I changed options to old Template Pack. It’s good to reply and see the comments.
Solutions?
@robertl4807 You can check for BuddyPress Resume Manager
We have extended the user fields with repeater data and displayed a new tab with dedicated template file which can be overridden inside the child theme. It’s a standalone plugin.
@abu117 It should be the default functionality unless you have used some 3rd party plugin to disable it, when someone is registering at WordPress or BuddyPress, it will send an email to activate or verify their emails.
