I use buddypress plugins to optimize it.

I completely Disagree! BuddyPress has served me well in over 250 projects. I only use 3 plugins on average and never use any pre-made themes. I have developed over 250 perfectly working and extremely customized communities and learning websites as well as intranet sites using BuddyPress and have never had any issues with it. I have never had any issues making it do just exactly what I want to to do “Well, there maybe one or 2 items I would change”.

Anyways, my point is, if you know how to work with WP’s flavor of messed up PHP, if you know how to use the codex, the extensive list of attributes and hooks, actions and filters that are listed all over the web, BuddyPress is a pretty puppy that can pretty much act, do or become anything you want without all the plugins.

As far as the help goes around here, Well, yes, It has a lot to be desired. When you post a question, you must realize that not everyone here can help. A lot of the members here are looking for help themselves. The guys who can help are often times bogged down trying to help others and along with having work of their own to complete for their jobs at the same time. So yes, the help here is sparse but no one ever said that this was the help desk or the help line. Its just a forum for people to ask questions and get replies from other members and sometime staff that will help out someone when we can.

And Finally……
Wordpress and BuddyPress are basically developers platforms. It just so happens that its simple enough that basically anyone who has a desire to learn or are at least brave enough to look into some files can make changes and even figure out how to make a theme if they want. No one ever said it was easy for everyone which is why a lot of people pay other people to do the work for them. If you fall into this category, please just pay someone to do the work and stop whining about not getting help because you dont know what your doing.

Hi TFord06, It looks like this is a duplicate post of your other post “Buddypress Avatar Cropping Mobile – Portrait”. I have replied on your other posting.
Please try to limit your queries to just one post please. It helps keep the clutter down in the forums. Thanks

1. go into your WP dashboard
2. go to “Plugins” tab just below “Apperance” and Just above “Users”
3. Hover Over “Plugins” and click “Add New”
4. You Should see the “Buddypress Plugin” card right there. Click Install
5. If not, simply use the search feature there to search for BuddyPress
6. Once you find the “BuddyPress Plugin” click install
7. After Install, Activate it
8. After you activate it, go to the “Settings” tab at the bottom of your WP Dashboard
9. Under “Settings” you will see a “BuddyPress” Tab
10. Got thru the 3 tabs of settings to set it up. Its easy and quick
11. Check the new pages that you and BuddyPress Just added and see what kind of adjustments need to be made for your visual theme.
12. Viola! you have BuddyPress.
Should take less than 10 minutes for everything except any minor or major adjustments or tweaks in your theme if you even need any.

You can certainly use BuddyPress WP CLI for that: https://github.com/buddypress/wp-cli-buddypress

It has a wp bp group member command.

Something like wp bp group member remove --group-id={GROUP_ID} --user-id={MEMBER_ID}

@ingohaeck try to deactivate other BuddyPress plugins and keep BuddyPress plugin active; it might be possible any 3rd party plugin is filtering your activity stream.

Hi @seanbees
You can find BuddyPress specific links with menu section, Click on “Screen Options” to open up the panel at the top of the screen and check the “BuddyPress” option under the “Show On Screen” section.

BuddyPress Links in WordPress Menus

@hypuk BuddyPress only adds Name fields as primary field, it might be possible your theme or any plugin is adding those fields via custom codes.

@ranajoyc BuddyPress expend the WordPress functionality, it uses the same user tables which are created by regular WordPress installations. WordPress users will always be part of your BuddyPress community.

The 7 is not compatible with buddypress. I buy this theme before 2 week and just wonder how to do it the buddypress.
