Hi mrjarbenne. That’s still not exactly what I was looking for. I was just inquiring if it is possible if you can programatically check if a buddypress profile page belongs to an administrator vs. belongs to a regular user. I don’t think it was possible from what I found but its ok and I will mark as resolved because I have found a workaround for what I was doing. Thank you.
Danbp, How and where do I put that code you posted to create a show/hide comment button? Bear in mind I’m a BuddyPress noob and I’m no where near being a coder. Thanks!
There is info on this codex page about replacing the default cover css.
Hi, thanks for the reply. The BuddyPress cover plugin was the problem. Everything is fine now,,
If I can ask another question, is there a possibility to positioning the imagage? I don’t find anything to do that.. Thanks again
Norman
You should ask the plugin author. Post your question on the support forum for BuddyPress Cover Photo.
If you are using BP v. 2.4 or greater, you don’t need that plugin – profile cover photos are part of BP.
Hi, I’ve installed BuddyPress cover. When I look at my member profile , there is a problem with the design: 
How can I solve this problem? I tried to find a setting in the plugins, but I don’t have any results. Thanks for your help

Wordpress version: 4.5.3
BuddyPress version: Version 2.6.2
BuddyPress cover: Version 2.1.4.2
I am committed for an NGO project to implement (in an already existing website) the following functionalities:
New members:
1.would have a registration form for entering their complete profile;
2.will have a front-end dashboard; with the ability to edit their profile;
3.registration details would be fed into their profile and included in a general membership directory viewable to website visitors.
I am new to buddypress and I wonder if and how it is capable to do them; any tip is the welcome 🙂
Hello, I’ve now spent many hours trying to get to the bottom of this.
I’ve tried to translate the profile tabs like “Messages”, “Friends” etc. on a members profile.
I’ve translated the “BuddyPress-nb-NO.po” etc. (Which is my language)
But still.. it shows “Messages” and “Friends” even though I’ve clearly tranlated them to “Meldinger” and “Venner”.
What is going on??
I have both bbPress and BuddyPress installed on a single site install and the “Pending” link only shows up once.
Can you copy and paste the “Pending” links?
You can just paste in the part after the question mark (?) from the URL. I’m most interested to see what is causing the second “Pending” link to show up.
Your issue is probably caused by a plugin conflict or a rogue code snippet somewhere.
Regarding your email issue, are you able to send out any non-BuddyPress related emails?
Running WordPress 4.5.3 (multisite), Kleo 4.0.8 theme.
Had been using Buddypress 2.5.3 (network activated). Upgrading to 2.6.2 resulted in white screen for main page; individual site’s admin page, etc. Same when using TwentySixteen theme.
I reviewed this Buddypress support thread re: a 2.6.0/Kleo problem (https://buddypress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-on-a-buddypress-2-6-0-upgrade/ ) and thought that it suggested that the referenced patch and subsequent releases would solve the problem, but alas.
Can you offer any guidance?
@rvnamb if you aren’t looking to do programming you may want to check out some of the plugins here. https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/recipes Some of them seem to integrate with Buddypress
Then add it to the activity stream as a registered activity:
Post Types Activities
Users would need to use the dashboard to create a recipe update in this model, unless you created a front end recipe posting system using something like Gravity Forms:
https://gravitywiz.com/use-gravity-forms-to-create-user-submitted-posts/
I have to break this up into separate posts because I don’t think the BP forum wants me to include so many links:
If you want to replace the activity post with recipes instead (eliminating the default ‘activity’) you could change the label of activity to “recipes” using this guide from the codex:
Change “Activity” component’s name and slug to something else.
I am currently using the GameDay theme and after installing buddypress I now have two pending lists when I go to my users. this is causing issues with my registration process. I tried switching themese and still have pending link show up twice.
I have attached a screenshot here.

I also have deactived all other plugins except buddy press.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction as to what would be the cause here ?
It is not going to their spam either…. Just not emails going out. I notice the weird two Pending list when i go to the users page which I do believe is the reason.
Now I am just unsure why it would be showing two.. If I deactive the bbpress plugin things go back to one pending list and all work’s ok.
Once I reactive Buddypress. Things stop working
Many thanks in advance
Visit a forum, like https://buddypress.org/support/forum/how-to/ and scroll to the bottom of the topic list. The new topic form should be down there.

DO you know any import plugin for free that supports buddypress?
Unless they have an add-on to support BuddyPress, you’re out of luck (unless you write one yourself).
Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, as I am fairly new to WordPress and brand new to BuddyPress, so I’m just trying to figure things out.
I am using WP 4.5.3 and BuddyPress 2.6.1.1. I’m using social magazine theme 1.9.1 and a number of plugins that I could list if you think it would be helpful. My site is Storymakers Network
I am basically wanting to give my users TinyMCE functionality when posting activity. I have scoured the plugins and forums and the only things I have found on the subject are BuddyPress Forum Editor (which hasn’t been updated in over a year and doesn’t work) and forum posts trying to turn rich text editing OFF in multi-line text fields in the profile. Everything seems to be old, as though this is a function now regularly available I have just missed it.
If it involves inserting code, could you be very specific in how to apply it? I’m technically savvy but unfamiliar with the process.
When someone comments on an Activity only the new comment is popped up in the activity stream.
How can we show the entire activity on the activity stream ? just like how Facebook does, it pops up the entire activity on its news feed
