BuddyPress.org

@rharejr as I recall you need to install the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-connect-for-buddypress/ to make your Genesis child theme compatible with BuddyPress.

@antonyc Disable all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress and keep it on Twenty Twelve/Thirteen. If you’re going to change forum archive slug and create a new Page with the same new forums archives slug, you would have to re-run Permalinks again.

@dsvay Looks like you’re missing the header section of your site on the registration page. Per the premium theme’s description, Dynamix is supposed to be compatible with BuddyPress.

Change to Twenty Twelve/Thirteen theme and check if registration works then. If registration works then, contact theme author about the issue. If not, then deactivate other plugins to identify which is conflicting with BP.

Hello!

I have BuddyPress Pending Activations plugin and I’m having issues with the user still been able to log in even though the user is still in pending state. The login its not failing.

Any help is appreciate it.

@ugcheleuce WordPress and BuddyPress could handle this no problem. Depending on what features you’d need, you may need to write some custom code or add some plugins.

@ugcheleuce
BuddyPress can do this “Out of the Box.” Please review:
https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/

Already discussed and solved here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/need-activation-key/

and a bit older here
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/activation-code-after-new-member-registration/page/2/

And of my own experience, i had similar problems in the past due to using the same nav session during the registering process.
In brief, a user’s navigator cache problem.

Hope that @djpaul ask on this tread, once more time, about the server type, and that he will finally give a reason or a solution! 😉

@ubernaut
If the server is the culprit for mistakenly taken a user to that page it really isn’t a BuddyPress issue, it is a server issue.

@binutz
Add the below code to bp-custom.php reference:
https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp-custom-php/

define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

@inartmedia I’m just seeing a coming soon page. We need more information than what you posted above to help you. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

You only need to post this once.

@robg48 – this could well be half of the solution you’re looking for when importing stuff from WP to BP. Although there’s no mention of a user import (just blog posts).

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-import-blog-activity/

Edit: Just came across the following – please note i’ve not tested it.

BuddyPress Members Import

I was able to get this (create a link to the post author’s BP profile) to work using Boones suggestion here http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/43528/how-to-get-a-buddypress-user-profile-link-and-a-certain-user-profile-field-for-t

To get it to work in the sidebar (running Genesis and the Content Aware Sidebar plugin) I had to use the code below to pull the author id outside the loop. I am strictly an amateur but this may be where folks are having trouble adding a link in sidebars, plugins or widgets?

http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/39493/getting-user-id-for-the-author-meta-outside-the-loop-in-multisite

If you are like me, and not a coder, below is the exact code I used:

<?php
$temp_post = get_post($post_id);
$user_id = $temp_post->post_author;
$author_bp_profile = bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id );
?><a href="<?php echo $author_bp_profile;?>">View the author's profile</a>

Visibility checks are not done when profile data is retrieved ‘outside’ BP_XProfile_Group.

You can use bp_xprofile_get_hidden_fields_for_user() to do your own check.

It is reasonable to expect bp_member_profile_data() to include an argument re visibility check.

So it’s not a bug, but you can create an enhancement request ticket on trac.

trac.buddypress.org sounds like a bug to me.

I’m new so I don’t know what trac is, and whether this is an issue or if I’m doing it wrong.

if this is a common problem someone should add a ticket in trac.

Same issue (details below)

In this file {themename}\members\single\member-header.php, is the following code:

		<?php
		/***
		 * If you'd like to show specific profile fields here use:
		 * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About Me' ); -- Pass the name of the field
		 */
		 do_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' );

		 ?>

I have some custom profile fields, so I replaced the ‘do_action’ with these:

		<h3>About Me<h3>
		<?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About' ); ?>

		<h3>Birthday</h3>
		<?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Birthday' ); ?>

When I click on the Edit Profile link, I can change visibility settings, and it appears to save them. BUT the saved settings don’t do anything. In another browser where I’m not logged in at all, I can always see all of the fields listed, no matter which settings were chosen.

Advice?

@jf_trumpet what exactly is running slow? If the site is accessible you can run it through the Pingdom speed check at http://tools.pingdom.com to see what resource is loading slowly.

WordPress is very zippy as it arrives out of the box – try deactivating BuddyPress to see if there is any improvement in load speed. That way you’ll know if it is in fact BP that’s the problem.

The best way to tackle the problem is to narrow it down.

@bphelp I looked through the BP improving performance page and did not see any mention of what you said. Why aren’t VPS/Dedicated servers more highly mentioned on this page?

Do sites which use BP almost always have a dedicated server or VPS? I’m new to the BP world so all this information is good to learn.
