BuddyPress.org

You can do that by adding this constant in wp-config.php

define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id );

I’m thinking you probably want option B: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/#b-network-wide-activation-buddypress-root-blog-in-secondary-site

Well, I just tested it and it didn’t work. Hopeful someone can come in and suggest an alternate fix. One of the issues is that the code I’ve pasted there was pulled from a source that switched to smart quotes rather than regular quotes, but that doesn’t seem to be the only issue as I’ve rectified that on my test and it didn’t help.

Here’s the source:

How to Add, Remove, and Change the Order Of BuddyPress Component Menu

Use, or create, the bp-custom.php file in your plugins folder: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/

Add this to it (make sure you add a <?php tag if you are creating a bp-custom file for the first time.

function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

// Change Menu Order
$bp->bp_nav[‘profile’][‘position’] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav[‘friends’][‘position’] = 20;
$bp->bp_nav[‘groups’][‘position’] = 30;
$bp->bp_nav[‘blogs’][‘position’] = 40;
$bp->bp_nav[‘messages’][‘position’] = 50;
$bp->bp_nav[‘settings’][‘position’] = 60;

// Remove a menu item
$bp->bp_nav['activity'] = false;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );

I haven’t tested this. I hijacked it from here: http://themekraft.com/customize-profile-and-group-menus-in-buddypress/

This post may help. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-in-mobile-view/

MS integrates wonderfully with BuddyPress. When network activated on a Multisite, activity from across the network is recorded on the users Profile. Just be sure to check Site Tracking under Settings/Buddypress once you network activate BuddyPress (https://cloudup.com/i_-p1kJGUwd). Once upon a time, BP was ONLY compatible with Multisite: you couldn’t run it on a single WP install.

Note that this will give your users the ability to have their own blogs. This is separate from the ability to post from the front end. For this you would need to make a theme like P2 your network default. http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-set-the-default-theme-for-wordpress-multisite/

Given that you have been able to diagnose that this is a theme issue, particularly on a theme that you paid for, I would suggest going back to the theme author to see if they can help. X Themes seems to be a popular issue tonight. You’re the second one I’ve come across:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-when-plugin-activated/#post-240153

It’s hard to know what that file is doing without seeing the whole thing. It’s not a standard BP file, it’s something your theme developer has added to provide additional functionality to the theme (something that would probably be better left as a plugin, but that’s another argument entirely). BuddyPress has its own theme compatibility layer, that should make it look nice in any theme. Your theme is clearly trying to do something fancy with BuddyPress in a way that is messing things up.

A quick google search reveals a few different people having issues with the xTheme and BP.

This topic seems to suggest that if the activity stream isn’t activated in Settings/BuddyPress/Activity Streams then there is an error:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-website-dowm/

You could try commenting out the line as suggested in the above link. You could comment out line 427. You could temporarily delete the entire buddypress.php file in your theme (use your FTP program to throw it on your desktop and then delete it).

In the end, the X themes developer should really be the one to fix this.

Please don’t post the same question multiple times. See this link for a response: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/default-to-display-name-publicly-as-username/

You could use this plugin — https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-usernames-only — to override the Display name so that only the username shows. I find this makes a lot of sense in communities where @mentions are a prevalent means of connecting. By default the Display name on the profile will still be the Nice Name, rather than the username, but you can change that by adding this snippet to your wp-config.php file

define( 'BP_SHOW_DISPLAYNAME_ON_PROFILE', false );

If you go into Tools/BuddyPress there is a function called Data to Repair: Count Total Members which might help. Otherwise I have noticed that occasionally user count is updated when the user actually starts participating on the site, not immediately after they register. I can’t test this, but I feel like I noticed something similar previously, and it sorted itself out.

On a multisite, you activate BuddyPress Network wide, and it then exists as a Social Network on the main domain (it doesn’t affect your multisite otherwise, and subdomains or subdirectories — depending on how you have set things up — will not be able to create their own social networks). Once activated, BP will track your users’ activity across the entire network (comments they leave on other blogs, posts they create, etc.)

Once activated, go into Network Admin/Settings/BuddyPress, and make sure that Site Tracking is enabled to get the full benefit. Users will need to be subscribers on the main domain in order to contribute: a role they should be assigned automatically when they are registered.

If you change themes you will lose all the customization that your theme provides through that Cornerstone custom page builder (I assume this is your theme http://themeforest.net/item/x-the-theme/full_screen_preview/5871901)

I would suggest — because you have paid for the theme — that you go back to the theme developer and let them know that code in their theme is causing an error. The error message you provided shows exactly where the offending code is. It looks as though your theme has some additional customizations applicable to BuddyPress specifically.

If the theme author won’t help, and you have FTP access to your site’s server, you could go in under public_html/DRSTEPHANIEDANIEL.COM/wp-content/themes/x/framework/functions/global/plugins/buddypress.php and see what is on line 427 of that buddpress.php file that might be screwing things up.

Yeah sounds like it could be your database preserving referential integrity. i.e. Can’t delete a profile group unless all fields belonging to that group have been deleted first.

Check what’s going on by looking at your database. This may help:

BuddyPress Database Diagram

I can’t create a profile field for every possible group.

You can create a custom profile field by extending BP_XProfile_Field_Type.
That custom field could pull in the group names for that member and allow them to enter a name per group name.

You can filter the member name by using the filter hook in bp_member_name(), found in:
buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-template.php

How, when and why you apply that filter is up to you.

The same filter may not work for bbPress, but they probably have something equivalent.

Can you try the patch in this ticket?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6371

Hey guys,

This is a known issue. See #6360 for more info.

(@codemonkeybanana I think you already found it) 🙂

Creating some custom fields won’t be enough.
afaik – you want separate and multiple ‘sub’ identities for each user.
That won’t be easy, but even so, creation of sub-identities is only part of the issue.
Parsing out which sub to use in which situation for content creation and display will be a tangle.

But take a look at group meta

URGENT PROBLEM!

I am having the same problem. I just logged on as the administrator to delete a user and the only user that showed up on the list was myself. The wierd thing is that when you look at the user count for all users, all users are there, however, clicking on that link still only brings up my user. I deactivated all of my plugins and one by one began activating them again. I got to the BuddyPress Version 2.2.3.1 and activated it and that is when I could duplicate the problem. This is only recent and I am sure that I did an upgrade recently. Sunday was the last time I logged in and there were no problems at the time. For the time being I have left the rest of my plugins deactivated and I would be happy to give you access if you need a password or username to get in. My site is http://www.putznutzcabinfever.com. For the time being, and for security purposes I will be reactivating a spam plugin and one that limits the menu. These are STOP SPAM and ULTIMATE USER. So, you can go back to deactivating all plugins when you look into it. I just don’t want to allow signups or public access to some of the pages.

If I can help in any way, I will be happy to.
