BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress doesn’t affect user authentication or password resets. We leave that to WordPress.

WordPress’ lost password link can be found on the .com/wp-login.php screen. You can copy that link into your theme/navigation menu, etc, if you want it elsewhere.

The error is “missing_email”, which happens when we get can’t find an email post in the database with the term “post_recieved_comment” (in our special bp-email-type taxonomy).

First thing to do, is re-install the email; go to wp-admin Tools > BuddyPress, then choose the re-install email option. After this, go to wp-admin Emails, and see if you can see your custom email listed.

If it doesn’t appear, please pastebin all the custom code you’ve added for this, and i’ll take a look. Thanks!

Do you have the BP Group Hierarchy plugin installed?

If you do, there is a conflict with BPGH and BP 2.6.1 and up. I’ve posted a patched version of the plugin that should work:

[Resolved] Still getting a Fatal Error with BP Group Hierarchy plugin

@skullchow To get your site back, you need to FTP (or SSH, or whatever — you should know how to do this) into your server. Go into the wp-content/plugins/ folder, and rename the buddypress plugin to buddypress-disabled. Then, visit your site’s plugins page (.com/wp-admin/plugins.php), and WordPress will fix itself.

Then what you need to do is obtain your server’s PHP error logs. If you don’t know how to do this, ask your webhost for help. Inside it, it will be list whatever error was breaking the site. If you let us know what’s in the log, we can help figure out what broke things.

Not quite! In BuddyPress 2.6, we added support for dynamic links for user profiles.

In your template/blog post/wherever, if you wanted a link to go to the logged-in user’s activity stream (for example), create the link to <a href=http://example.com/members/me/activity">my activity stream</a>.

See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10791 for the change.

Get in touch with the chinese translation team:

Hi,

buddypress.org use BuddyPress and bbPress plugin for the forum part (with some BP Ninja’s customization).

But note that BP activity comments are not forum topics – even if both may “look” like a discussion tread.

To get a similar behave, install bbPress as sitewide forum.

or to get a more indeep integration with your community members, use BP (member) groups and install a forum in some groups. By doing it this way, you can have thematic discussion groups, where not only the discussion is thematic, but where also the participant are sorted.

In other words, an “ordinary” forum can be categorized. With BuddyPress, a forum can be categorized, but members can be grouped, related to the group they belong to (is the group has a forum of course).

Note also that many BP user’s don’t use a group forum because group members can discuss via the group activity. This is very common, but only if you don’t care about forum fonctionnalities like sub-forums, moderation, spam/ham or rich edit for example.

Please don’t double post! You already asked for this and get an answer here:

Not sure to understand your problem. Check this similar solution, may be it will work for you:

bp_activity_filter_kses function

There was no change to the Extended Profiles component in BP 2.6.2.

Also i created about 11 profile groups but when i checked extended profile for my users from the admin panel i found all the created profile groups plus one more group with no content to it called “Social” which i didn’t create and i can’t even find it under Profile fields tab.

Sounds like a plugin conflict. Did you also install or upgrade some BuddyPress plugins during your BP 2.6.2 upgrade? If so, deactivate those plugins and try to replicate your issue again. Also, try a different theme like twentysixteen since some themes try to add some of their own BuddyPress customizations, which may not work properly.

Custom code for BP is generaly added to bp-custom.php.

You don’t need that plugin.

Instead, try this in your theme/functions.php or in bp_custom.php

function lisa_remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'lisa_remove_xprofile_links');

Danbp, How and where do I put that code you posted to create a show/hide comment button? Bear in mind I’m a BuddyPress noob and I’m no where near being a coder. Thanks!

There is info on this codex page about replacing the default cover css.

You should ask the plugin author. Post your question on the support forum for BuddyPress Cover Photo.

If you are using BP v. 2.4 or greater, you don’t need that plugin – profile cover photos are part of BP.

I have both bbPress and BuddyPress installed on a single site install and the “Pending” link only shows up once.

Can you copy and paste the “Pending” links?

You can just paste in the part after the question mark (?) from the URL. I’m most interested to see what is causing the second “Pending” link to show up.

Your issue is probably caused by a plugin conflict or a rogue code snippet somewhere.

Regarding your email issue, are you able to send out any non-BuddyPress related emails?

@rvnamb if you aren’t looking to do programming you may want to check out some of the plugins here. https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/recipes Some of them seem to integrate with Buddypress

Then add it to the activity stream as a registered activity:

Post Types Activities

Users would need to use the dashboard to create a recipe update in this model, unless you created a front end recipe posting system using something like Gravity Forms:

https://gravitywiz.com/use-gravity-forms-to-create-user-submitted-posts/

I have to break this up into separate posts because I don’t think the BP forum wants me to include so many links:

If you want to replace the activity post with recipes instead (eliminating the default ‘activity’) you could change the label of activity to “recipes” using this guide from the codex:

Change “Activity” component’s name and slug to something else.
