When you use WordPress alone, you can use many plugins for registering.
If you use BuddyPress, you also use his fonctionnalities.
One of them, is Members, which comes also with extra components, like extended profile.
When you use extended profile, it is like using a register plugin for WP, with his own extra fields you can create/add to the original WP registering process. After that, each user can handle/view these fields on his profile.
Now you have to choose:
– WP alone, with his poor profile fields
– WP + BP, with rich profile fields
– WP + BP, without xprofile component (and users go back to the original profile fields aera).
– or ask on ninja plugin support for improvement guidance to apply with BuddyPress.
Hi Henry,
Currently I using Kleo Theme. All buddypress is already together with it.
you can try login to my admin url: http://www.kangtao.com.my/wp-login.php

Try deactivating all plugins (aside from BuddyPress) and activate the TwentyFifteen theme. Do you still see the problem?
@jacipetersilie – best thing I have seen that is close to fbook like chat thing is the free “quick chat plugin” – however I do not use it to show as a widget on all pages and give a popup to users – as I think that would tax the server and web browser more than is reasonable if you have dozens of users – it might work, might not. I use quick chat for a single chat room on a single page.
From what you are describing however, I wonder if you really need a chat plugin to do what you are saying – one to many message – like the super-admin send a message to all users, kind of privately… I think there are some plugins in the wild that allow admin to send an email (Which I guess would be a buddypress inbox notification (?)) – to all users… that would “one to many” message – and give people a way to “message you back” privately I think.
I have also seen a plugin that will allow super admin to add a note to all dashboards – although I guess many bp users will not go to their dashboard when using most features –
I suppose you could also assign users to a group, and select settings for them to get a notice email when a new group message is sent. Which may achieve what you are describing.
If you just want one-to-many messaging chat with users who are actually logged into a chat room, I think it would be easy to do that with nusoft’s av-chat, there are settings in which you can make it so only certain users can post in the chat, have moderated chat, turn off pms and stuff like that – I guess I am not clear on what exactly you are trying to accomplish as I don’t use fbook and am not familiar with the kind of one to many fbook messaging you are talking about.
I have a new install of BuddyPress and my users are friending each other left and right. The only bad thing is that the Activity Feed is flooded with X and Y are now friends, and all other activity is lost. Is there any way to prevent these posts from showing up in the activity feed?
This is an issue that has been identified and ticketed and in the process of being corrected, hopefully it will be included in a point release, if not we can show how to modify or replace the core file in the interim short term.

Where do I “require(‘../fpdf/fpdf.php’);” and where in loop to call from?
You could place this at the top of your template file. So if you’re using the BuddyPress template hierarchy, that would be your members/index.php template. Be sure to adjust the path, unless of course you have the class stored in the parent directory.
haha, I have had 64 sleepless nights with lots of ciggies and coffee, but just before giving up it started to make sense.
(yep at least 64 days)
here is my first buddypress site
Hi,
I’m new to BuddyPress. I’m amazed by the functionality.
However, it doesn’t seem to be very responsive…
For example, when viewed on mobile the register page becomes unreadable because the two columns clutter together.
Is there a way to solve this?
Help would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Sander
Still works for my site, but have not updated Buddypress yet to latest version

Hi,
I’m a newbie, but as I was playing around buddypress I realized that I can go to my friends profile and still see Edit and Change links/buttons!
My questions is why should I have this capability, or better yet, why should there be such links/buttons when you display others profiles!!?
Did I do something to cause this in the setup?
Thanks.
I’m new to BuddyPress and am resorting to support forums after some very lengthy internet searches that haven’t been very helpful in providing a solution to my needs.
I’m running BP 2.3.2.1 on WordPress 4.2.2 on an NGINX VPS.
I’m trying to add some print to PDF and CSV functionality to a Members Directory page using whatever class or library that will enable me to achieve this (FPDF, mPDF, PDFlib, etc). I would like to print a members list to PDF and export a CSV from the frontend, with or without profile data.
The plugins available are simply inadequate to achieve. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi there,
I am running BuddyPress with the Membership 2 Pro plugin and I am struggling to automatically update the correct member type in the Extendend Profile in Buddypress when the membership subscription expires/is upgraded or downgraded.
At the moment, if the Membership changes, the Member Type of Buddypress stays the same…
Hoe could I hook into the Member Type?
Very grateful for any insights! THANKS!
Hi @rekwan,
Thank you for sharing !
But to be sure with that hack, i would recommend you do the same on NextGen support, and eventually ask the authors to take in account a better option, in case of BuddyPress.
They’re also much cleaner and safe solutions, as explained here.
I’ve seen a lot of forum posts on here regarding NextGen Gallery’s compatibility issue with BuddyPress where you’re unable to edit the User Profile with the NextGen plugin activated. Everyone’s solution seems to be “disable NextGen”, well here’s a solution that allows you to keep both and use both. =)
Open these two files:
/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/wordpress_routing/module.wordpress_routing.php
/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/third_party_compat/module.third_party_compat.php
Comment out any line containing this: _use_canonical_redirect
Save and both should be working. =)

By connect I mean become friends, interact, read posts, comment etc. Multisite is not what I’m looking for as Multisite installations are all managed by the same admin. I’m thinking about a kind of Diaspora or GnuSocial based on BuddyPress, a distributed social network.
Not sure what you mean by ‘connect’.
Even if you could connect members from different installs, managing their interactions across multiple databases would be difficult.
afaik, devs use multisite so that everyone uses the same db.
There are some threads about various multisite + BP approaches, here’s one:

Hi,
I’m looking for a solution for a special problem. Is it possible to build a community of BuddyPress users over multiple WordPress installations on different servers? Can BuddyPress users on WordPress A on server Y connect with BuddyPress users on WordPress B on server Y? If this is not possible, is this a planned feature?
Thanks in advance
Fixed the problem.
wp_enqueue_script( $id );
i put this into
\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-cssjs.php
just under
wp_register_script( $id, $script['file'], $script['dependencies'], $version, $script['footer'] );
Reference https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.01.patch
WordPress 4.1.5 running Responsive theme
BuddyPress version 2.2.3.1
Link to the page with issue: http://transinformation.net/community/gruppen/d-a-ch-im-licht/members/
To see the issue, type anything into the text field to the left of the button labeled ‘Suchen’, then click onto the button. Nothing happens.
I do not even know where to start in WP and BP admin to tackle this.
Thank you very much for helping me,
Lee
The theme author is over loading the BP templates.
Sounds like the theme hasn’t been updated to work with the latest BP.
Instead of deleting the whole [your-theme]\buddypress
Try just deleting this file:
[your-theme]\buddypress\members\single\profile\change-avatar.php
If that doesn’t work, try deleting some more profile related files in [your-theme]\buddypress.
And tell the author about your issues.
@danbp I mean’t the front-end upload. But I’ve found the issue. In the custom theme I bought is another Buddypress folder which overrides (I guess) the plugin, because when I remove the folder from the theme, I get a seperate menu item which links to uploading a new avatar.
The custom theme is Blackfyre by Skywarrior, did anybody else had this issue or knows the solution? Maybe like which function I need to include in the custom BuddyPress?
Hi All!
Awesome work on the platform so far.
I’ve been reading through a few posts here on bumping activities to the top of the stream when they receive replies / comments. Would seem like a fairly key way to increase member engagement by promoting opinions shared etc. an prompting further discussion – much in the same way Facebook do (yes I’m aware that BP isn’t Facebook though!).
I can see there has been a plugin developed (https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bump-to-top/) but that it’s out of date / broken.
Do you foresee this type of functionality forming part of the BP core?
