OK, so buddypress doesn’t use capabilities. How the hell am I meant to make this work?
Hi,
I am using this plugin to enable buddypress on my multisite: http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/
However it does not allow the subsite to create profile fields.
I found this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/guides/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite/
But I am a little worried about creating some sort of conflicts.
Can someone provide me some advice on how to approach this? Is there a plugin that does this already? Should I try to merge that page with the code in bp multi network plugin?
Thanks
How would MS work with Buddypress, does it integrate well with the buddypress profile page, will the users blog posts show up on the profile page. I heard a plugin called Gravity Forms can achieve this as well and a plugin called WP User Front-end.
You already have a blog if you run WordPress.
Depending of how many authors you expect, and money you have, you can opt for MS and allow a complete blog (like the main blog) to each user. But a blogging farm is a BIG project who need space and powerfull server ressource. BuddyPress is tailored for that. But are you tailored to assume ? 😉
A good compromise for small and middle project is BuddyPress Groupblog wich comes with P2, an extra front-end editor theme. So you have two answer in one plugin.
BuddyPress handles essentially members. Publishing is WP’s job and giving users a possibility of front-end publishing instead of back-end is an endless pros and contras discussion. And in any case, a long front-end dev work. At least.
That issue was solved in BP 2.2.2
A topic with some explanation can be read here.
You’re using a theme which latest release was 2013, before WP changed page title handling.
Suggest you use a more recent one. Try also one of Twenty’s theme to check that the error message is no more there, and that your page title is correctly showing.
I receive the following warning on my site. Only appears on buddypress pages but not every time.
Warning: strstr(): Empty needle in /home/wp_xdmyn9/ethanolnetworks.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php on line 641
I have read the other posts regarding similar issues but did not ever see a resolution. I am not a programmer so any help would need to be fairly specific in more laymans terms preferably.
My site is http://www.ethanolnetworks.com and I am running:
WordPress version – 4.2.2
BuddyPress version – 2.2.3.1
Thanks,
Tom
I have changed the text in new po and mo files uploaded it to proper folder and nothing has changed.
I am confused by this, This example uses en_US as the sample language definition, and thus buddypress-en_US.mo is the name of the language file you will create. You’ll need to replace ‘en_US’ with the locale of your WordPress site.
So the two file names should not be named
buddypress-en_US.mo
buddypress-en_US.po
Is this the same for everyone using English or is it different for every user? Perhaps thats why its not working for me.
THanks
Hi programmers,
I have been trying to filter the buddypress search box to add another option but ..
it doesn’t trigger.
Here is my code at the top of functions.php of my theme
add_filter( ‘bp_search_form_type_select_options’, ‘kendyman_seventeen_options’, 10, 1);
function kendyman_seventeen_options( $options )
{
echo "here5";
exit();
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'name', /* ou id ou count .. */
'order' => 'ASC', /* ou DESC */
'include' => array( 1, 5 ) /* list of category ids to include */
);
$cats = get_terms( 'category', $args );
foreach( $cats as $term ){
$options['cat-'.$term->term_id] = $term->name;
}
return $options;
}
Any ideas? I have searched all the forums and it seems no one is having this problem.
Links to other forum posts will be great or comments
Thank you,

What is the best way I can implement a blogging ability for my end users, preferably from the front end. I thought about multisite but not sure how well it integrates with buddypress. I’ve found a plugin called BuddyBlog but the author seems to have abandoned it. Are there any other plugins I can use.
Sorry, i’m wrong. I checked again and effectively, the alternate colors are weird.
Add this to theme’s custom option (wp-admin/themes.php?page=WeaverX > tab main option > tab fonts&custom > custom css rules)
It’s a rasta example, so you can see how it works. You just have to modify the colors to your needs.
div.message-content {
color: yellow!important; /*#FFFFFF;*/
}
#buddypress div.message-box {
background-color:green!important; /* transparent!important; */
}
#buddypress div#message-thread div.alt {
background: red!important; /* #CCC; */
}
May this help. 😉
BP doesn’t use a specific search page like WordPress does. Try to adjust your theme via a child theme or see theme support.
Codex is your friend !
This doesn’t need enhancement, as it is a unique string. You can modify it to your need very easily by using the language file (read here)
The exact phrase used in BP 2.2.3.1 is:
There was an error sending that message. Please try again.
If you see “cant send a message”, you use an old BP version or a third party plugin. Check for this first if it is the case.
FYI, there is also a ticket about error message, so consider your question as “work in progress”…
Hello,
For some reason, buddypress links are broken for my site after restoring a backup.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Hi Dan,
Yep, I’m using Weaver Extreem with the Black/White sub theme, with the sceenshot below showing how messages look, it looking like the plugin is somehow overwriting the theme. As you can see, you can’t read alternate messages, with me having the same problem with Woo Product pages with the tabs.
I’ve had this problem before with Weaver II, (an older version of Extream), & Woo-Commerce and it was an & that I had to edit out of some code somewhere, the person who told me that had to be done, (something that worked), saying they couldn’t understand why Woo used it, with it seeming that BuddyPress does to and I can’t find the instructions I used before that worked or remember what I did.
I’ve raised this with Weaver, but all they can say is that it’s not a theme issues, it’s Woo & Buddy Press 🙁
All help appreciated, with this being the 1st Buddy Press site I’ve developed and loving it.
Highest regards,
Holmey
Hey everyone, I have just has a user report to me that non-members of their private group are able to read & reply to an activity feed on their profile page from what they have posted into the private forums! This should not be displayed to non-members.
WordPress 4.2.2
Buddypress 2.2.3.1
BBPress Version 2.5.7
Here is a visual example of what im talking about:
View post on imgur.com
“MrDork” is not part of the group and should not be able to see that message posted, hes able to see it as its appeared on PaulOnFire’s activity feed, this should be hidden to people not in the group.
How can this be fixed?
It seems that it’s a theme problem, (or the way BuddyPress deals with the theme), with it seeming that it is allowing the styles in some sections of a page to be overwritten, with it being the same with Woo-Commerce too, (me having the same problem on the product page tabs).
Somebody has told me that it’s an & that BuddyPress & Woo use in their code that needs deleting from somewhere as it is not relevant, does anybody else know what this can be as my theme is saying it is not a theme issue 🙁

While you’re in touch with the support team, ask them to install BuddyPres on your site or at least why you get this error. For me, it is not an issue related to BuddyPress.
if i believe what is written by your host about PHP:
For example, PHP hosting at One.com provides access to the following elements:
PHP 5
MySQL database
Advanced dynamic websites
Seriously, it’s a bit short (IMHO) to convience me that WP and BP can run correctly together. Maybe a generic phrase, maybe exact, but the only way to know it exactly is phpinfo.
But for the moment, PHP 5 is not PHP 5.4 !
More annoying, i haven’t found any technical information about a host plan, except disk space and prices of domain names.
Personnaly, i won’t use such apparently poor hosting service.
Hello everyone,
I’m using some custom code to add a search functionality in my buddypress site. I’m done with the code that does the actual searching and its working well. However, I want the results of the search to be in a different section of the page from the Form, so I thought I would use two different shortcodes for the search form and for the search results, like this,
Some Page content
[search_form] //the text boxes and submit button
Some Page content
[search_results] //the resulting members
I tried making two functions with different shortcodes in the functions.php and I added them in the page with some content between them but the content is always pushed to the bottom so the form and the results are always in the top of the page and follow each other.
Any thoughts on what is causing this or how this is done?
Hi @holmey1
To test whether this is a BuddyPress problem or theme problem, you should switch to TwentyFifteen and deactivate all plugins. If the problem resolves then it is likely related to either a) your theme or b) one of the plugins you deactivated.
Hi,
I made a complete backup of my site and database – deleted everything – and installed it manually.
It seems like it helped on the speed issue. My site is now a bit faster – and if I deactivate Buddypress it almost runs normal.
I still can´t login via the sidebar login widget. As I did mention the problem only appears the first time I want to login on a new browser session.
I have been chatting with One.com´s support team and they tell me that they meet the requirements for both BP and WP, so that´s not the problem.
Am I really the first one seing this “Blocked” text in Google Crome on /wp-login.php? In IE I see a see another text that tells me “the site rejects to show the website” (in danish) 🙂
Let me know what else I can try…
Thanks a lot..!
Regards
Torben
If you want networking and messaging and forums – you need both BP and bbPress.
Some info re BP and forums:
Installing Group and Sitewide Forums
I am trying to deploy social networking and forum on existing genesis platform child theme. No problems there yet. My question is more general, t wit…
I cannot find a clear answer as to whether a site needs both bbpress AND buddy press to support forums. Some places I see that after certain rev buddy press no longer supports forums and so need bbpress to be installed.
Can buddypress alone support both networking and messaging, etc as well as support forum activity?
If your site is slow is not related to the fact of adding/removing a link, even programmatically ! 😉
Unadapted host plan, wrong settings, network issue, poor wifi connection and many, many other things can slow down a site.
Have you at least the minimum requirements to use WP and BP ?
https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
Requirements
Run phpinfo if you’re unsure.
There are no groups to display. Please try again later. doesn’t exist in BP 2.2.3.1
Do you use a specific plugin for groups ?
A similar phrase “There are no groups to display.” is only used in bp-groups/bp-groups-widget.php
How to change BP wordings is explained on Codex
