BuddyPress.org

Thanks so much for posting this info! I’d just found that my previous work-around wasn’t working anymore, but your code above works a treat.
For anyone else looking to do this, just add it into your bp-custom.php file in the plugins folder (NOT the buddypress folder, but in the root of the plugins folder).
Much appreciated 😉

Please read here and give at least some details about the theme you use.

Or better, a valid url to your site. Alternate row color is a theme related question, which can be handled via CSS, but if you don’t tell what theme you use, it’s impossible to guide you more.

Note also that if you use a premium theme, we have no access to it. In this case, you need to ask on the theme support.

you need to have a wordpress multisite done….and install buddypress on a folder/domain…check codex’s of both..you will get an idea how you can run wp on main domain and bp on sub domain or sub folder

trust me..you are not able to manage in the current scenario which you have…

this is a free support forum..you dont need to talk to me on a one2one basis…custom help is not an option here…you might have a look at the job board if you are looking at custom help

best of luck

no plugin for that…as @danbp suggested better to have one db of users..else its going to get quite complicated…

before you installed buddypress was your site a wordpress site?

also i see you installed bp in a sub folder..not in the root…http://mujalumni.in/portal/ is that correct?

is the root site a wordpress enabled site?

are you looking at having a main site and the community (powered by buddypress) on a seperate folder/subdomain?

Guess there is no “reply to all” fonctionnality in BuddyPress.

Hmm… I forgot that those “Name” fields were not deletable from the admin dashboard.

I would recommend the following:

1. Disable the Extended Profiles component
2. Tell your developer to go into your database and drop the following DB tables:
– wp_bp_xprofile_data
– wp_bp_xprofile_fields
– wp_bp_xprofile_groups
– wp_bp_xprofile_meta
3. Next, go back to “Settings > BuddyPress > Components” and re-enable the Extended Profiles component

This should recreate the Extended Profiles database tables from scratch and hopefully things should be okay afterwards.

that worked!!

Glad to hear you’re up and running!

But should I now see 5 tabs of Field Groups that all say “Base (Primary)” when I go to Profile Fields under Users?

No, you shouldn’t.

You should leave the first “Base (Primary)” tab alone, but do delete the rest of them.

Do the same for the “Name (Primary)” field in the “Base” group. Keep the first one, but delete the rest.

Note that this is a new install. I’ve never used BuddyPress before

This does sound like a bug. It would be great to retrace your steps so we can duplicate this problem. Did you activate / deactivate / activate the plugin multiple times?

Same goes for the components list under “Settings > BuddyPress > Components” in the WP admin dashboard. Did you uncheck / check / submit certain components multiple times?

If you do not have access to your database, you can temporarily put the following snippet in your theme’s functions.php or wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file:

function ray_xprofile_group_fix() {
	global $wpdb, $bp;

	if ( empty( $_GET['xprofilefix'] ) || empty( $bp ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$wpdb->query( "UPDATE {$bp->profile->table_name_groups} SET id = 1 WHERE id = 2" );
}
add_action( 'get_header', 'ray_xprofile_group_fix' );

Then, go to your website and append ?xprofilefix=1 to your website URL.

eg. example.com/?xprofilefix=1

This should change your profile group ID back to 1. Next, check your registration page and “Edit Profile” link and see if they work.

Once you have confirmed that it works, remove the code snippet from your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php file.

That is an old bbPress issue. When you edit a topic, i some case, the topic comes up twice(or more, depending how many edit you made) on the site activity.

This bug will be corrected in bbP 2.6 (actual version is 2.5.9). See ticket & patch here.
What you can do immediatly is to modify following file:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php

Replace code between line 277/279

$existing = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $activity_id, 'show_hidden' => true, 'spam' => 'all', ) );
if ( empty( $existing['total'] ) || ( 1 !== (int) $existing['total'] ) )
return null;

by

$existing = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );
if ( empty( $existing->component ) ) {
return null;
}

@angelaq – I think your problem is related to this:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bad-link-to-profile-edit/#post-174602

I’m quoting the workaround solution below:

Since I’ve seen so many threads regarding it and I was having same issue.

this is regarding 404 error page if you are on page profile/edit/group/1/

Problem is group 1 is missing in your profile section.

All you need to do is go into you DB and look for table: wp_bp_xprofile_groups

Then look for id=2, Base

then just change id=2 to 1 and that’s it.

This does sound like a legitimate bug.

I’ve opened an issue about this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7109

Can both of you try reading this and see if the same problem applies to you?

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-page-does-not-work/#post-251532

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bad-link-to-profile-edit/#post-174602

It sounds like this might be the problem at least for @angelaq.

So I thought I would shed some light on this issue. Since I’ve seen so many threads regarding it and I was having same issue.

this is regarding 404 error page if you are on page profile/edit/group/1/

Problem is group 1 is missing in your profile section.

All you need to do is go into you DB and look for table: wp_bp_xprofile_groups

This premium plugin – BuddyProfileData – will add profile data to the members loop.
It will add fields in a vertical stack.
If you are comfortable with css and maybe a little php, you can change it to horizontal.

Or you can write your own solution using this hook:
do_action( 'bp_directory_members_item' );
in this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php

Or you can create a template overload of that file and hardcode your solution directly in the template wherever and however you want it.

Re the ‘>’ – the best solution is to find out where it is being added by your theme css and change it.
