Hi @leanneoleary

Try this:

Auto Login the user after account Activation On BuddyPress Based Social Networks

Hi @winnergirl

Does BuddyPress require its own independent WP site?

No. BuddyPress works just like any other plugin you might install on your WordPress website. You should just be able to click ‘activate’.

@i-am-anja – I apologize for the fact that you weren’t provided good info on how to access your dashboard.

You will need to use FTP or if your host provides a File Manager ( maybe thru cpanel ).
Then navigate to [your site]/wp-content/plugins/buddypress and either delete the buddypress folder or rename to something else, for example ‘buddypressX’.
Doing so means BP will not be loaded and you should be able to access your dashboard.

@quaelibet and @danbp can you provide details of how you setup a vhost? I googled and have been able to setup a vhost but it only access the xampp page and not the wordpress page.

My host file contains the following:
127.0.0.1 buddypress.local
::1 buddypress.local

My httpd-vhosts.conf file contains the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
#DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/buddypress.local
ServerName buddypress.local
</VirtualHost>

when i run the URL: http://buddypress.local, it resolves to http://buddypress.local/xampp/ page
but when I run the URL http://buddypress.local/wp (my wordpress folder name is ‘WP’) it says page cannot be displayed. this is in internet explorer.

kindly help.

I assume this is what is being used? If so I can just add this password hint but what file do I need to edit?

You shouldn’t edit core files because when you update BuddyPress your changes will be lost. It’s better if you track down the root cause of the problem and try to fix it.

We’ve released 2.2.3.1 to address this.

It should appear in your dashboard shortly.

If the error is preventing you from accessing the dashboard, delete wp-content/plugins/buddypress completely, and try again.

Hi @wwtuan

Do you have the exact same page (Comunity) assigned to more than one component at Settings > BuddyPress > Pages?

Don’t hack core files !

It will be overwriten at next BP update.

Use preferably a filter function. Give this a try (add it to bp-custom.php) :

function members_dir_oldest_first( $bp_user_query ) {
    if ( 'newest' == $bp_user_query->query_vars['type'] )       
		$bp_user_query->uid_clauses['order'] = "ASC";
}
add_action ( 'bp_pre_user_query', 'members_dir_oldest_first' );

hi @utahman1971,

this is the default behave of extended profile fields. Also it’s very handy, as those links became searcheable keywords. This let users click and find other entered same words.

That said, a bio is generally more personnal, so those links maybe less important…

Here’s a snippet (bp 2.0.1 +) you can add to bp-custom.php. It let’s you selectively disable those automated linking from some fields and let some other in place.

function my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data( $field_value, $field_type = 'textbox' ) {
    // Access the field you are going to display value.
    global $field;
    // In this array you write the ids of the fields you want to hide the link.
    $excluded_field_ids = array(2,6,7);
    // If the id of this $field is in the array, we return the value only and not the link.
    if (in_array($field->id, $excluded_field_ids))
	return $field_value;
	
	if ( 'datebox' == $field_type )
	return $field_value;
	
	if ( !strpos( $field_value, ',' ) && ( count( explode( ' ', $field_value ) ) > 5 ) )
	return $field_value;
	
	$values = explode( ',', $field_value );
	
	if ( !empty( $values ) ) {
		foreach ( (array) $values as $value ) {
			$value = trim( $value );
			
			// If the value is a URL, skip it and just make it clickable.
			if ( preg_match( '@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', $value ) ) {
				$new_values[] = make_clickable( $value );
				
				// Is not clickable
			} else {
				
				// More than 5 spaces
				if ( count( explode( ' ', $value ) ) > 5 ) {
					$new_values[] = $value;
					
					// Less than 5 spaces
				} else {
					$search_url   = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $value ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() );
					$new_values[] = '<a href="' . $search_url . '" rel="nofollow">' . $value . '</a>';
				}
			}
		}
		
		$values = implode( ', ', $new_values );
	}
	
	return $values;
}

/**
 * We remove the buddypress filter and add our custom filter.
 */
function remove_xprofile_links() {
    // Remove the old filter.
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
    // Add your custom filter.
    add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2);
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'remove_xprofile_links');

If you want to deactivate completely profile fied links, you can use this function:

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

Please give details about your install.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

Members won’t appear in the members loop until they have a last_activity entry.
Logging in will create that entry.
Or you can give them one as soon as a member is registered via front or back end:

function webmister_add_last_activity( $user_id ) {

    bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id, bp_core_current_time() );

}
add_action ('user_register', 'webmister_add_last_activity', 20, 1);

Put the function in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php.

It’s a bit obvious to explain.
When group component is activated, you should have a page assigned to groups. Ensure this page exist, without any content , page template or parent page. Just a page with a title.

Don’t forget to allow group forums in bbpress forum settings and to assign a group forum page, which should not be the existing Group page of BP.

On front when you create a new group, you create first the group. In one of the creation steps, you can check “allow this group to have a forum”. Then you save this. Once saved, you will see that the group name appeared in the select box. You must save this again to definetly activate a forum to this group. Same can be done by accessing group settings > forum tab.

Resume of creating a group with forum
enter a group name and description, check allow forum. Save. Select box must now contain the new group name. Save again.

More details here.

Thnak you.
Have you a test site or a local install where you can make some test ?

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

I tried to change role and other fields in new members, but nothing happened.

On a single regular install, all BuddyPress members have the default role you assigned to new users in WP settings > general. There is nothing to change at this level when they don’t show up on member’s directory.

If you need some fake BuddyPress users and content, i suggest you to use BuddyPress Default Data, which is great to control if anything is working correctly.

Deactivate your theme and all other plugins except BP and use Twenty Fifteen while testing.
Activate also wp_debug in wp-config, and see if you get somme php errors.

hum… difficult to say at t he moment, as you use 2 different site apparently.

hxxp://www.anadercategori.org/ and hxxp://pallavoloromana.it/anadercategori/squadre/test7/

Which site belongs your members to ? Where is buddyPress installed ?

BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.
