Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7672 for updates.

Hi @ottiya

Good question, but the answer’s hard. You’ll need to learn how to modify WordPress theme templates. Start reading through all the linked pages on https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/ and when you have a specific question after you’ve made a try, let me know.

As long as that Members page isn’t assigned to another component, it’s not obvious why it mightn’t be working. Does the form submit when you click Save, or does nothing happen at all?

Is that Page published?
Have you made any customisations to BuddyPress, or WordPress rewrite rules?

I think the go-to for this is https://themekraft.com/products/woocommerce-buddypress-integration/ — might be worth a look.

Hi @eliasgetguineapig

Do you mean on the WordPress Toolbar? (this thing — https://codex.wordpress.org/Toolbar )
If so, if you search for ways to customise or hide the WordPress Toolbar, you should get some clues. It’s not a UI component provided by BuddyPress.

Hi @ottiya

On the default templates, there is a “Add Friend” button, and we usually position is just below (or next to) the user’s name and avatar picture. But not every theme has to show BuddyPress content in the same way!

If you’ve bought a theme with BuddyPress templates, or customised some yourself, it might be worth going back to where you got them from and ask for help.

Hi @mastershas thanks so much for this! I was looking for it as well. Do you know how to allow members to edit their profiles so that the profile bio +photo on the bottom of their blog post is the same as the profile bio + photo on their buddypress page?

I just found this: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-link-blog-post-authors-to-their-bp-profiles/ maybe we can try this?

Also looking for this! And also making it so that when you click on the author, it redirects to that person’s buddypress profile page

Check out the plugins here https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/buddypress/

These plugin authors have used the “buddypress” tag which indicates a compatibility with BuddyPress.

Hope it helps!

BuddyPress should be compatible with PHP 7.0 and 7.1. What conflict are you seeing?

*** SOLUTION ***
Hey guys I had the similar problem. I had 3 different user types. The first two could select between 2 user roles (let’s say “part time student” or “regular student”), as the third one had to have a set role of a let’s say “Teacher”. So I needed two different registration forms that would automatically register with user roles.

So what I did was to create a user profile field called “Account Type” (dropdown select) with the options of “Part Time Student”, “Regular Student” and ” “Teacher”. I then used @webizone’s solution for a second registration form. I created the template and added to it a few lines of javascript, basically to remove the “Teacher” option from the select menu.

<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery("#field_17 option[value='Teacher']").remove();
</script>

Now that template is for the registration of “Part Time Student” and “Regular Student”. For the teacher’s is just the regular registration form with the “Teacher” option selected by default.
Now to register the user roles I’ve used @spiritix’s solution from here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-assign-a-wp-user-role-based-on-a-registration/

And to restrict wich forums users can access I’ve used https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/

Hope this helps. Good Luck and let me know if anyone has a better solution than this. Thanks

The first thing to do is to deactivate all other plugins but buddypress and switch your theme to 2017 and see if it works (it should), then you will have a working configuration to test against, reintroduce your theme and other plugins in stages and check it still works until you find the plugin that is (possibly) causing the issue.

@krask,

dashboard – tools – buddypress – Reinstall emails (delete and restore from defaults)???

I am having the same issue. If someone could help us out, it would be appreciated.

I cannot find the mythical Buddypress Email Repair. Tried all other options. Mail SMTP is sending emails successfully.

If there is another membership plugin that doesn’t have this problem, I’d love to hear about it. Ultimate Member is not very good in my eyes, but I can’t use Buddypress if my students can’t activate their accounts.

Has there been changes done? I say this because when I go to tool, there are no links to a Buddypress section.

I am having the same issue as described above, but unable to try this possible solution because I cannot find the Buddypress email repair.

The closest thing to moderation I have found is also the plugin you mentioned. But like BuddyPress it is lacking crucial moderation features and doesn’t have updates/support also as you mentioned. I have been wanting a BuddyPress moderation feature similar to WP Core forever…approve/unapproved/pending/spammed activity would be ideal. Integrated with WPCore comment status would be grand. I’d pay for a good moderation plugin. I don’t feel like BuddyPress truly integrates well when activity/comments don’t work well together. In fact, we have avoided full use of BuddyPress for this reason. I suppose this is more of an opinion post and hope some angel comes up with a solution on your problem and my similar problem.
