I am using Boss theme. I think its a BuddyPress option, you can see this link
Hi,
I am using Boss theme with latest BuddyPress version and I found that “Take Photo” option under “change profile photo” not working on firefox. It is giving this message continuously
'Video error: Please upload a photo instead'
It is working fine on Chrome. I have checked and found these errors in the console
navigator.mozGetUserMedia has been replaced by navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia
HTTP load failed with status 404. Load of media resourceM
MediaStream.stop() is deprecated and will soon be removed. Use MediaStreamTrack.stop() instead.
Invalid URI. Load of media resource failed.
I think you are really talking about new page, one that performs a search of the members profile fields and comes up with matches. If I were you, I’d look at using BP Match Me as a basis for this, or maybe BP Profile Search and then providing my own custom code to automate the search process.
The following change will remove the What’s New area from the Activity page, it will still be visible in Groups and on the users profile activity page.
You will need to set up a childtheme (there’s plenty of plugins that will do this for you).

Just place this file content in your themes/child-theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php file. Activity, replacing everything that’s in the current file.
If you want an easier way to manage your template overloads you should look at BP Template Overloader, which will help you keep track. When you overload a theme page, you need to remember that you will have to take responsibility for keeping it up to date since any changes to the master file will no longer be loaded.
I’m using WordPress version 4.9.4, BuddyPress version 2.9.3 and my website is http://www.torus.drumsbygenre.com
My issue is with the Buddypress messages. Whenever a user has one message in their inbox, it doesn’t show up. As soon as a user gets 2 or more messages, all of the messages suddenly appear.
Any reason as to why this could be happening?
Thank you for your time!
WordPress Version 4.9.4,BuddyPress version 2.9.3
hello how can a user report another user to admin?
Is there a way to remove the field “Profession” in the Extended Profile settings of BuddyPress?
And, can you add additional field options beyond just Name, Website, and A Little About Me?
Thanks.
Yep this looks like it’s broken, I’ve raised a trac ticket for it here.

hello can a user turn off there online status when they are online and using the site?
Hi there,
Regarding point 1) This could be to do with the source address that is being used for the emails WordPress is sending. it’s pretty old now but I use CB Change Mail Sender to set an appropriate mail sender address.
Regarding point 2) I suggest this must be down to a plugin conflict or some other problem, as I can’t replicate your issue. have you tried it with just BuddyPress running?
Hello,
I meet 2 worry with buddypress:
1) When a person clicks on “forgot password” an email and sent and arrives in the spam message in the form of SPAM
2) When she click on the link sent by email to reset are password it sends her to the wordpress login page and does not ask her to change password or whatever
Sorry google translation
We need to create a site that only allows members to see other members if a certain field matches and were wondering if there was a plugin or way to do this with Buddypress.
The users will have a field called suburb and we want only people with the same suburb selected when they register to see each other and not be able to see anyone with a different suburb selected.
Is this possible to do.
Have you looked at overloading your BuddyPress pages?
This is the process of getting BuddyPress to load your costomised pages instead of the default pages. For example, the page that loads the “What’s new” section and post form is located in plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity.posts-form.php
If you copy this file to themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/activity/posts-loop.php you can edit this file and remove the “What’s new” section. You would need to know php to do this.
More information on overloading bp templates is located here: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
A plugin that tries to make the management of your overloads easier is https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-template-overloader/
I installed by mistake buddypress in the subdomain http://madrid.agendaholistica.es
I have deleted it and installed it in the main domain https://agendaholistica.es, but in the new installation it gives me the error The requested URL was not found on this server.
It seems that the route of the first installation has been saved in cache and now I do not know how to solve it.

Hello,
I want some information on buddypress if is possible.
I have a website with groups
1. I want to create a page that my groups can post there, the page to look like the activity page.
So every group can post there as a group and not as username. For example if im register in that website and have the username “buddyroid” and im register in “buddy” group, when im visit the custom page that i want to create and post there to show that the post is from the group “buddy” .
2. I want only the administrators of each group to post in that page, for example if i have one group with 20 members and 2 administrators , only that 2 administrators to can post in that custom page
Any ideas;
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks

What I’m doing at the moment is running a mobile specific theme, my main wordpress theme just does not scale down right. By running a theme switcher I’m able to have a mobile specific setup that works a lot better overall.
Regarding mobile devices in particular the button styles used in the current BuddyPress template set is not ideal, I’m hoping this will improve with Nouveau. What I do on the mobile side is I tend to place all the main bp options in the main menu, which with my theme works pretty well.
I think you have to be very careful with what features you offer on mobile, the bbPress forums for example don’t work that well, you can get the basic members pages to work, have chat, basic groups with activity feeds but trying to do much else gets very difficult with mobile.
I am having issues with buddypress displaying on mobile devices. Such as viewing profiles and such. When I try to view some buddypress pages on mobile devices, the page is not attractive- but all info is pushed to the right side of the screen. I have tried css and it just ruins features of enfold. Please help! I wish I had used bbpress, but I did not know that it was not fully compatable.
I think what you are looking for is the ability to place a shortcode on a page, that displays the members header on a page of your choice for any given member id.
There isn’t such a thing, however https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-shortcodes/ comes close in that it allows you to display most of the components of the members header on a page.
BuddyPress Profile shortcodes is a pretty simple plugin, I think it should be possible to combine VapVarun’s contributed code with BP Profile Shortcodes in order to create a shortcode that does something similar to what you are looking for.
If you want to get to know the structure of the BP overload files, could I suggest you try installing https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-template-overloader/ this maps out all of the overload files, it’s pretty daunting the sheer number of files you can modify, but if you look for that one file you can view it’s contents.
Also the link I mentioned but forgot to include about overloading BP is here. https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
This page explains about template overloads, but really you are not looking to do that, just view the contents of wp-content/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/coer-image-header.
You are looking to display the cover based header info and this is the page that does that in BP. However one thing to note is that these functions will only work in a BP profile page since they are using displayed username to identify the cover info to publish. So I guess this depends on what page you are looking to publish this info on?
An alternative I looked at is to use the BuddyPress Profile Shortcodes plugin, but unfortunately this does not include a shortcode for the cover image, most of the other information you re after though, they can get.
