@eforreal79 It will be media plugin specific customization. Almost all media plugin which is compatible with BuddyPress use activity meta to save media related info for particular activities.
@orero It will suggest using Gravity form user registration add-on, it will give you WordPress user meta and BuddyPress xprofile fields mapping option as well as gravity form fields.
https://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/user-registration/, it will take care of all user and field validation as well.
As a free option, you can check https://wordpress.org/plugins/frontend-registration-contact-form-7/
@studial you can add a limit on group creation, like who can create a group. How many groups a member can join, or how many members can be part of a group. It can also be auto join to groups based on their member type during registration.
You can check for these plugins

@normancates, BuddyPress has an only primary field as Name, rest are user-defined.
With BuddyPress, you are also allowed to create additional First Name & Last Name fields, and it will need some custom codes like pasted by @krioteh.
You can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp2wp-full-sync/, hopefully, it will help.
@shieldfire that’s menu items, you can un-assign the menu from footer location, or create a different menu for it with your current pages. BuddyPress features will also be deactivated after deactivation.
I installed and then uninstalled the buddyPress plugin. I don’t need that functionality at this time. However, the deletion kept the squiggly icons at the bottom of the page. What is the best way of getting rid of them?
(Squigglies are at http://www.theoldecookerybook.com if you don’t understand what I mean)
Over that last while I’ve REALLY been struggling with the disparity between the WP profile info and BP profile info.
PLease, I beg of you, add some functionality to allow two way synchronization with WP profile info and BP profile info.
It’s a limited data set.
It’s incredibly confusing for everyone that the Profile info does not do a two way sync between these two areas.
I have yet to find any tool/plugin that allows two way sync.
But really, this should be built into BP.
I can only assume there is some technical problem that prevents this.
I can see that if you have Buddypress sub sites and they are acting as their own site, with separate information from the other subsites, then how to make that work is an issue.
But yeah. Even if that’s an edge case, it would be SO HELPFUL to be able to have reliable sync.
Cheers,
Norm
That’s awesome.
Why is this not a standard part of Buddypress? (Rhetorical question)
IMO, any fields should be designated (or able to be designated) as linked to the WP profile information.
THis is a CONSTANT source of confusion for me and any users. Because some plugins use the WordPress profile info, and some the Buddypress info.
I get that they probably need to do that. But at least let us synchronise the data.
Including display name options…
Please, BP / WP developers, slam an interface on this and let us keep our data consistent.
Cheers,
Norm
Have you found my site – BuddyPress User? I designed it to answer a lot of the questions you have. Look it up!

http://prntscr.com/j7k7uf
So can you please give easy way instrutions or tutorial?
On How can i make this Please!
1.Create Buddypress Community
*Users can create and update profiles, including the use of profile photos. Site administrators can easily set up the parameters of the user profiles.
*Users can befriend one another. The site owner can decide what special abilities friends have with regard to one another.
*Users can send private messages. BuddyBoss comes with a robust private messaging system, similar to that found on Facebook. Users can choose whether or not to receive an email notification when someone sends them a message.
*Users can form and join groups. Groups can be used for a wide range of functions within the website. Administrators can choose to let their users create and join groups of common interest.
*Users can follow activity streams. BuddyPress activity streams provide a quick digest of the recent activity going on within a site or with regard to a particular user.
*Users can create blogs. Capitalizing on the full functionality of WordPress, the most popular blogging platform in the world, BuddyPress gives administrators and users a full-featured online publishing platform.
*Users can participate in forum discussions. BuddyPress is fully integrated with bbPress, a slick forum system.
2. Active Login portal with Facebook or Google login credentials.
3. Active User generated material through BuddyForms or other methods.
Please advice thank you!
Hello everyone,
I recently installed BuddyPress: I have translated the Mail and configured it all right.
Only I did not understand how I can implement the forum on a page of my website.
How can I do?
Thanks ^^
Does BuddyPress bridge in with PHPBB or VBulletin? Or is there a form built in for members?
BuddyPress does not use WordPress user roles or capabilities. Technically, there is a bp_moderate capability, but we map that to roles that have manage_options capability (by default), or Network Admins, in multisite.
Even so, some parts, including the Profile Fields admin screen in wp-admin, require the manage_options capability.
So, basically, add the bp_moderate capability to all your custom roles, and if that doesn’t work, they’ll need the manage_options role — which, warning, gives them a lot of WordPress admin power as well.
No ways around this at the moment.
BuddyPress 2.9.4 include a tweak for emails that might have been causing this.
Apart from that, to our best of knowledge, everything related to emails is working.
Hi,
I’m trying to use Contact Form 7 to register my users in BuddyPress. I’ve tried two
- With a plugin Frontend Registration – Contact Form 7
- Some code
With a plugin Frontend Registration – Contact Form 7
I’m trying to use this forum to register users. I’m using:
- wP 4.9.5
- Contact Form 5.0.1
- Frontend Registration – Contact Form 7
- BuddyPress 2.9.4 (Extended Profiles activated, I need this)
Steps I followed:
- I’ve created my contact form “Register Form” and I’ve activated Registration Settings
- I’ve created my page “Registration” with “Register Form” on it
- At this point “Registration page” works ok (shows “Register Form”)
- Then I go to BuddyPress Settings and in Register Page select “Registration page”
- When I go to “Registration page”, all the content has been overwrite with BuddyPress registration fields
Some code
Source (2014)
I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or simply this code it’s not working anymore.
Any idea about how to do this (with a free option)?
Thank you
It’s unlikely that the original recipients will reply, as this thread is nearly two years old.
BuddyPress does not offer its own log-in page. This is your theme, or something else, doing that.
I suspect also people are mixing up the “log in” page with the user registration form, which are two very different things.
Yes BuddyPress allows you to create extra fields for the registration form, there are also a number of plugins that extend the types of fields available.
Regarding user blogs, there are a number of options available but these tend to exist outside of BuddyPress – ie, assign a member an author role and they will be able to create blogs.
After updating to BP 2.9.4 and WP 4.9.5, every time a BP profile is updated the profile image that is used (in [bp_members] for example) is a resized 600 x 200 version.
bp-custom.php has the following:
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 86 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 50 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 1920 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 1111 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH', 2000 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_FILESIZE', 5120000 );
The photo URLs of affected profiles are in the form: https://staging.independenthostels.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/124/5a1457dc281d8-bpfull-600x200_c.jpg
and for unaffected profiles they are of the form: https://staging.independenthostels.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/1230/577536f1c3382-bpfull.jpg
The 600 x 200 image is newly created, it did not exist prior to the update.
This is a site I’ve recently inherited and whilst I’m a very experienced WP dev I have not had many dealings with BuddyPress. I’ve checked everywhere that I could think of to see where the 600×200 resizing is happening but can’t for the life of me work it out.
Does anyone have an idea of what’s going on here and how I might resolve it?
Go to the Pages menu in WordPress and manually create new pages named “Activity”, “Members”, etc.; then go to Settings>BuddyPress>Pages and select the new pages from the respective drop-down menus. BuddyPress should then push the appropriate content to those pages automatically.
I am having the same problem as the original poster, with roughly the same specs (except I am using WordPress 4.9.5 and a shared hosting provider). I even deleted BuddyPress and installed the new beta 3.0 version, but still no component pages were auto created.
Assuming that there is somehow no solution for BuddyPress failing to auto create component pages, are there shortcodes (and/or other page content) you can share in this thread for manually creating the component pages (Members, Activity Streams, User Groups, Register, Activate)?
I am also having a similar problem — I activated BuddyPress, but none of the component pages (Activity, Members, Groups) were automatically generated. I did have “Anyone can register” initially disabled, but I have since enabled this option and deactivated/activated BuddyPress, but to no avail (i.e., the pages are still not being auto created).
Hi Folks,
Hope everyone is doing great. Please, I know that we already have the BuddyPress Group Email Subscription, but I looking for another plugin that does the same job, but displays images in the email instead of just links. Any takes on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time
On the other hand, Id like the buddypress login redirect to my theme login page. The theme is just all done up already.
Ive managed to redirect BP registration already to my theme registration page.
This would help many in that we dont have any recent answers.
Thanks
