The only certain way to find out if the theme is causing registration issue’s is to activate a known theme that works with BuddyPress like twenty twelve, or bp-befault and test it against registration and activation. If the issue is resolved after switching to one of these themes, then it is a theme issue and you would have to get support from that themes support forum should you choose to use it. Sometimes it is best to use a bare minimal theme when working with BP as the more code introduced by a heavy theme may have adverse issue’s when dealing with BP registration and activation. If you are familiar with the codex please review:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Hello:

I am using the Akita theme (ThemeBlvd). I have installed the latest versions of WP, BP, and my theme.

I was expecting the latest version of BP to be compatible with my theme without any additional work.

However, after installing BP and assigning the initial pages during setup (members/register/ activate) the layout of the pages is not correct. There are no sidebars, and a site directory appears at the bottom of the page.

I have been looking for concise instructions on what needs to be done to finish the setup. I don’t have much experience doing advanced tasks, so I would like concise instructions that I can provide to someone with more skills.

This can only be explained as a huge job. You would need to know both CSS and HTML to achieve that. I’d suggest reading up on those two technologies if you’re just getting started. Some knowledge of PHP, JS and Ajax would be helpful too although you’d just need to know what parts of the templates are best to avoid messing with.

1. first create a folder in your hard drive e.g. buddypresstrunk/
2. Open that folder and then right-click and click on SVN Checkout in box which shows up
3. Then enter the link I gave above for BuddyPress trunk in the “URL Repository” input field which shows up and click OK button
4. Watch as files are added into that empty folder

BuddyPress with the help of the right plugins from the WordPress plugin repository (https://wordpress.org/plugins/) can do everything you’ve mentioned.

11. Projects: Members can start projects and invite other members to join (kind of groups)

This is the one point I’m not sure about off the top of my head. It may need some custom code as I’m not aware of a plugin that does this.

@mercime Using Tortoise SVN.

Tried importing https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ but getting

Error: POST of ‘/!svn/me’: 403 Forbidden (http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org)

@idavidson I apologize for hijacking your thread.

I’m also having the same issue. I even installed a fresh wp 3.6.1 and a fresh version of 1.8.1 with no other plugins.

Under BuddyPress pages this is no Register or Activate page available.

@henrywright-1 Why are you choosing to work that way rather than running with theme compat template files? You do have a choice no way is right or wrong though if running the older style template approach you would need to have declared add_theme_support( 'buddypress' ); to ensure js/ajax unlinked, there is an issue with this though in that BP tries to get this value too early so fails to bail out of the theme compat class, so it needs to be positioned outside of a hook such as ‘after_setup_theme’ to be run early enough for bp.

Well for starters kill any plugins that might interfere with a registration process e.g facebook login ones – to test issues it’s always the instruction to disable all plugins working them back in until problem one is found.

Other than that it’s hard to say there’s too little information. As far as BP 1.8.1 goes on a trunk install I appear to have no issues registering.

Thank you for the response. It didn’t fix my problem, though. Registration still not working, unless the user registers with Facebook.

HELP!?

@kakilo

I’m using these plugins combined: bbPress, BuddyPress and BuddyPress Media (rtMedia).

I wish that the maximum image files uploaded in ‘album’ (bp-album, I guess) …

I think it’s not from rtMedia

It’s getting a bit confusing. You need to figure out which plugin is creating the album that you want to modify and then you need to ask that plugin’s author for support. BuddyPress does not provide any media capabilities by default, though that has been requested.

P.S. rtMedia (previously known as BuddyPress Media) does create a Media tab. And it creates various albums under that tab.

Glad I could help! Good luck with your BuddyPress site! 🙂

The problem is it would require that the username the user entered in the profile field to match their twitter id exactly. If not it may take them to god knows where. Anyway, this is untested but you can give it a whirl!

<?php 
    if ( $string = xprofile_get_field_data( 'BIO', get_the_author_meta('ID') ) ) { ?>
       <a href="https://twitter.com/<?php echo get_the_author_meta('display_name'); ?>" target="_blank">Twitter:&nbsp<?php echo $string; ?></a> <?php
    }
?>

Or:

<?php 
    if ( $string = xprofile_get_field_data( 'BIO', get_the_author_meta('ID') ) ) { ?>
       <a href="https://twitter.com/USERNAME" target="_blank">Twitter:&nbsp<?php echo $string; ?></a> <?php
    }
?>

@3rdaxis
Untested but maybe something like this would work, in this example you would need to change “USERNAME” at the end of the URL to the persons twitter name. To get other URL’s to work you should just change the URL etc.

<?php 
    if ( $string = xprofile_get_field_data( 'BIO', get_the_author_meta('ID') ) ) { ?>
       <a href="https://twitter.com/USERNAME" target="_blank" alt="twitter"><?php echo $string; ?></a> <?php
    }
?>

As @henrywright-1 already stated “Replace BIO with your field name.”
