ParticipantThe problem seems to happen only in Multisite mode. I stepped back to single site. Now I can access the user section “waiting for approval/pending/…” again.
But there is another problem with Buddypress about Approval, which I will post in a separated article.
Thanks for your patience and support.

disable all plugins except buddypress and twenty-something theme – does it work?
My guess is your wp / BP may work fine without the zippy courses plugin – if it works fine with no other plugins – then your issue is with those plugins, not a BP issue per se.
No WP and BP do not work with default theme and all other plugins disabled?
yes you need permalinks pretty – I think.. when you set that does it actually write to your htaccess file? or is there some text that appears at bottom of screen (below scroll view sometimes) that tells you need to manually add the new htaccess code?
still not work? you may…
Looks like you may have some corrupted files somewhere – I would make a backup of your databases and zip up your files for a backup (there is a reasonable backup thing in softalicious backend) – remove the wp installation through softalicious – remove the whole wp / bp setup – start fresh.
If exporting your database through phpmyadmin, click advanced / add / drop table or something (directions in wp codex)
You can install WP through softalicious and then add BP no problem in my experiences.
(I would not count on softalicious to do your updates, gosh fantistico was horrible at that, and WP has it’s own auto-update thing going on these days anyway)/random thoughts from a user, not a BP dev or anything – other advice may be better.

Participant@eskymo – if you have the money to burn get a basic vps somewhere and get it started.
my past experiences with “cloud hosting” did not work out – other hosts may differ.
If you have not even started I would not worry about bandwidth or the network growth – sure if you are going to run TV commercials saying join my social network and get free gold bars – then you probably want to worry about that..
I have a solid buddypress site running on a basic shared hosting environment (reseller package they call it I think – gives a little more resources)
I have one running on a VPS, and another on a dedicated server. Even if you get 10,000 members sharing pics and uploading vids I don’t think you will hit bandwidth and growth issues.
You can always copy your database and zip your files to a new host or larger plan at same host if you run into limits.. and of course also look at things to do that would minimize things (block bad robots indexing, cache plugins, etc)
Not sure why you would stick with looking in london hoping to get support on the phone during daytime hours – if I have a host that can’t answer me with support at 2am I move on (and have) to the next one.
With a reasonable host I think you could start at $10 a month.. if can afford get a VPS ~50 a month – dedicated shared resources – better if you are going to setup your BP to also be WP-MS (multi-site / multi-blog (giving users their own “tumblr” type blogs on top of the social networking stuff)
If you grow out of it – great – you can likely afford to go dedicated and look into tuning thing..

danbp
Participantto add a profile field like biography to profiles, you have to activate xprofile component in BP settings.
This and much more is all explained on the Codex.
it just showing membername|sitename This is not a issue, but intended so by default.
membername|sitename is the page title when on a member profile
members|sitename is the page title when on the member directory – where “members” is the title you give to the member page. BP create automatically this page and use “members” as title at first install, but you can modify it.Aside, you’re using admin as user name. I strongly recommend you to change this.

danbp
Participanthi @revadigital,
not sure what you call buddyblog… The blog is part of WordPress, not BuddyPress.
Can you give site url, theme, list of plugins and install type (network or single) please ?
Found a site which seems to be yours. If it is the case, you’re using Frisco for BP, an old theme. This theme hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.
Since BP 1.9 (dec 2013), you can use almost use any existing theme.
If you’re in a test phase, use simply 2015. Once anything is working, you can search a theme. 🙂July 8, 2015 at 8:24 am #241575danbp

ParticipantHi @chirag1212,
you’re on BuddyPress support forum. But BP hasn’t a BuddyPress Course Stats widget.
Ask on your theme support or the widget author.July 8, 2015 at 5:20 am #241571Christian Kramer
ParticipantYes, this is the only part I cannot access.
I use buddypress in the main site of the network only. I installed it as described in the page you linked.
Buddypress is a part of the plugin directory in the wordpress installation.

ParticipantI see how you are using groups – so it does appear that links to them are easily discoverable from your public facing pages.
If you do a view source and look at your code for each of your groups, you will notice that the page title is exactly the same for all of your groups ( <title>Activities – Freaky Rivet</title> ) – and there is no meta name description =
Two major issues for the big G.
Which version of buddypress are you using?
This problem concerns me so much that I have kept one of my sites with an older version of buddypress (2.2.3.1 ) with the cobbled custom code I was able to get from wpmudev ( http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/bp-meta-tite-description-for-groups-and-members-pages#post-806736 ) – the cobbled code may work the newer version of bp – but things are quite confusing with how wp has changed up some of the title thing, and bp has it’s way of things and there are possible conflicts with priority or something..
The discussion on this trac ticket( https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107 ) says things have been “fixed” – I do appreciate the devs working on it a bit – but I have a feeling the fix is more of a “make it work in a semi-okay way with a couple of setups” – not much as far as giving users real control over the titles and descriptions.
I am guessing people will point to theme designers to hook this up, and they will point to “we use wordpress’s suggested way of title-ing (wp the title or whatever) – and so it’s wp/bp issue, and descriptions should be handled my an seo plugin – but given that bp’s pages are pseudo pages without any taxonomy registered, it appears that yoast and others have so desire to work with it.
This is my current understanding, and may be not 100% accurate – what I gather after posting many questions and issues relating to this in various places.
I’d pay someone to code a plugin that gives options for bp meta stuff like the suggestion I posted before, and give it to the community. If I could understand all the bp/wp code and php I’d gladly make it. It seems the BP coders are spread a bit thin, so I have no good options for fixing this issue at the moment.

ParticipantIs this the only part where you can’t access ?
Ensure you followed correctly all install instructions
BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

ParticipantTHANK GOD, I FINALLY GOT IT!!!
I’m going to share what I did with the community so they dont have to go through the crap I went though.
The directions that buddydev.com gives you is dated and didnt work with my theme. Since my theme did not have a activity.php I had to change out the file located in buddypress plugin ….
/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/activity.php
inside that file go to line 48 should be something like this
if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_my_profile() && ( !bp_current_action() || bp_is_current_action( ‘just-me’ ) ) )ALL I CHANGED WAS THAT LINE OF CODE ABOVE TO THIS
if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_my_profile() && ( ” == bp_current_action() || ‘just-me’ == bp_current_action()||BPCOM_ACTIVITY_SLUG == bp_current_action() ) )IF YOU USE ANY OF THE CODE FROM BUDDYDEV SITE http://buddydev.com/buddypress/show-buddypress-communitysitewide-activity-on-user-profile/#comment-1497563 WITH ALL THE <?PHP BREAKS. IT WILL NOT WORK.
NOTE: For some reason when I tried to add this file to my theme folder, it broke my Activity stream, I didnt design the theme so I have no clue why it would be doing that. So if you add this to the buddypress plugin you will have to replace that file everytime you update buddypress.
HOPE THIS HELPS, THIS TOOK ME A BETTER PART OF A DAY ALMOST 2 DAYS TO ADD A POST FORM FOR THE ALL ACTIVITY IN PROFILE ON THE BOSS THEME. I HOPE IT HELPS THE COMMUNITY NOT HAVE THE FRUSTRATIONS I DID
PLEASE SHOW ME SOME LOVE AND SHARE MY WEBSITE ON YOUR BLOG OR COMMENT ON MY SITE.

ParticipantNever mind I used this css coding to add line breaks, still not perfect but it looks so much better than it used to!

ParticipantThanks Henry and Mercime, yes I updated the Trac Ticket. Would you guys know of a css quick fix until they update the core of buddypress?
July 7, 2015 at 6:00 pm #241549danbp
ParticipantYou found the right solutions, but you haven’t to use them in theme’s functions.php but in the template.
Template files are stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress
activity-loop.php is in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/Create a child-theme and do your changes from there.

ModeratorRight. So it looks as though it could be something the BuddyPress core team might need to look at. Can you open a Trac ticket explaining how the profile fields are displaying in the wrong order? If you could provide as much info as you can that’d be great.

ParticipantHey Henry yup it even happens on the 2015 theme. I recently updated to buddypress 2.3.2 .. I also deactivated every plugin I had. its something in buddypress mobile coding they added in 2.3.
