BuddyPress.org

When you set up BuddyPress, you have the option to map BuddyPress components to WordPress pages:

Configure BuddyPress

So basically, if you mapped the Members Directory page to example.com/members, you can go to your WordPress Pages menu in the admin dashboard, find your Members Directory page and rename the slug from members to whatever you wanted like people.

We’ve the same problem.

But we found a solution to fix it.

File: \htdocs\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-admin.php

Search the function “xprofile_admin_field” and there you replace the code from Line 609 to 630 with this:

	$field_edit_url = add_query_arg(
		array(
			'page'     => 'bp-profile-setup',
			'group_id' => (int) $field->group_id,
			'field_id' => (int) $field->id,
			'mode'     => 'edit_field'
		),
		//network_admin_url( 'users.php' )
		'users.php'
	);

	if ( $field->can_delete ) {
		$field_delete_url = add_query_arg(
			array(
				'page'     => 'bp-profile-setup',
				'field_id' => (int) $field->id,
				'mode'     => 'delete_field'
			),
			//network_admin_url( 'users.php' ) . '#tabs-' . (int) $field->group_id
			'users.php#tabs-' . (int) $field->group_id
		);
	}

So it don’t create nework admin url links, just site links. This will fix it till the next update.
I hope the BuddyPress devs will fix it in the next release 😉

> Can i call a complete bubbypress page on to a new page ?

Short answer is no.

You can however, change the slug of a BuddyPress page via the WP admin’s “Pages” menu. If you can change the location of the slug, this should satisfy most use-cases.

> with php maybe? or create a shortcode?

Yes, anything is possible with code! It depends what you want to show though.

There are some plugins out there that show BP content via shortcodes. One of them is this one:

Bowe Codes

The log-in page is a WordPress page. There is a guide on how to customize it:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form

The registration page is created by BuddyPress and can be modified in many ways. You’ll need to understand theme compatibility and overriding templates:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

So you could create your own copy of buddypress/members/register.php in your theme to make big changes, or potentially hook into the action bp_before_register_page to just add some html to top of the BP page.

Best of luck.

Mail is complicated.

BP provides unsubscribe functionality, so you maybe don’t need to do that anymore. BP Email sends html emails when possible.

You might try filtering your messages in other ways. Have you read the “customizing emails” how-to? it includes an example of overriding the BP template so that the BP content is sent in your custom template.

Emails

Have you set up your BuddyPress pages?

Configure BuddyPress

If “Activate” is not set up, then WP will redirect you to your site’s home page.

You will need to modify the template file. See the Template Hierarchy article for more info.

Hi,
most probably site tracking option is disabled. Please visit settings->BuddyPress and on the component page, please make sure that site tracking is enabled.

Once it is enabled, the new post/comments will be recorded in the activity.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

BuddyPress pages are not ordinary WordPress pages. These pages should be blank, without any template assigned. BP pages exist only for internal purpose and to have their own slug (and the benefit of permalinks). The content is always dynamic and change depending the context.

That is also the reason why you shouldn’t use a “page builder” for them untill you’re very comfortable with code and design.

If you need a full width output or a sidebar, you adjust that in your theme settings or preferences. You can easely do that with WP’s Customizer. Or course reading your theme documentation can also help.

If it is not possible that way, i recommand you use a child-theme, and add him any necessary part you’re actually missing. But ensure first that these parts are really missing !

BuddyPress comes with a few CSS rules who normally fit with any correctly coded theme. This means that it actually can be used with almost any existing theme.
BuddyPress has no sidebar
BuddyPress can be viewed on any existing device
BuddyPress fit to any screen size
This means that you have to adjust your theme first, and not BP.

Hi,

open your buddypress-nk_NO.po file with a text editor (notepad++ or so) and check you have a plural form for the untranslated string.

The’re several strings containing “members” with a count, but it will be easy to find if you search for “msgid_plural”.
At least, you should find something constructed like this:

#: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/groups/invites.php:34
msgctxt "Group member count"
msgid "%d member"
msgid_plural "%d members"
msgstr[0] "%d medlem"
msgstr[1] "%d medlemmer"

Again, note that it is only an example, you may find other strings containing “medlem” that you have eventually to adjust.

The important thing to control is the existence of “%d” and naturally, the presence of the plural form string in the translation.

If you still have trouble after controling/repairing/modifying, it could be possible that it is your theme. To ensure, do the same check in your theme translation.

Other thing to take in account

I’m not 100% sure, but so far i remember, the norvegian buddypress version is not completely translated.
Unfortunately, translate.wordpress.org is actually down and it is impossible to access the plugins translations at this time…

What i expect is that you have an old po file, fully translated, but perhaps not with the most recent changes and updates, which could explain that even if you have plural forms in your translation, they won’t show up in some places.
For ex. because the plural code changed from %s (in your version) to %d or something like that.
To avoid this, you can download the most recent pot file and rename it to buddypress-nk_NO.po.
Then you rename YOUR current version to .pot(with a T), import it to the new file, and adjust or complete the missing strings.

It took me awhile to think about what might be causing the issue and I just remembered the problem.

It’s a theme conflict with BuddyPress.

BuddyPress adds the CSS class hidden to a group in the group loop. Some themes might already have a .hidden class declared, so hidden groups are not shown because of this.

Can you add the following CSS snippet to your CSS?

#buddypress .bp-single-group.hidden {display:block;}

I believe this should fix your problem.

Do you have the friends component active?

It could be caused by the at-mentions suggestions code.

Try disabling it by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php file:
remove_action( 'bp_activity_mentions_prime_results', 'bp_friends_prime_mentions_results' );

How did you install bbPress?

It sounds like you activated the “Group Forums (Legacy)” component in BuddyPress. You should try disabling that.

You need to use a custom language file.

Hello, I am having the same problem. I have installed buddypress plugin and a bunch of other plugins.

Now, I am unable to save anything in the WP editor in the frontend in the visual mode. I have to switch to the text mode and then save the changes.

Since the site is live, I am not sure the correct procedure to remove and reinstall. I don’t want to lose user data.

Any suggestions how I can resolve this?

Excellent solution from @livingflame

bp_before_has_members_parse_args is the filter hook you’ll need. meta_key and meta_value will need to be used.
