Hi @leanneoleary

Try this:

Auto Login the user after account Activation On BuddyPress Based Social Networks

Hi @winnergirl

Does BuddyPress require its own independent WP site?

No. BuddyPress works just like any other plugin you might install on your WordPress website. You should just be able to click ‘activate’.

@i-am-anja – I apologize for the fact that you weren’t provided good info on how to access your dashboard.

You will need to use FTP or if your host provides a File Manager ( maybe thru cpanel ).
Then navigate to [your site]/wp-content/plugins/buddypress and either delete the buddypress folder or rename to something else, for example ‘buddypressX’.
Doing so means BP will not be loaded and you should be able to access your dashboard.

@quaelibet and @danbp can you provide details of how you setup a vhost? I googled and have been able to setup a vhost but it only access the xampp page and not the wordpress page.

My host file contains the following:
127.0.0.1 buddypress.local
::1 buddypress.local

My httpd-vhosts.conf file contains the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
#DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/buddypress.local
ServerName buddypress.local
</VirtualHost>

when i run the URL: http://buddypress.local, it resolves to http://buddypress.local/xampp/ page
but when I run the URL http://buddypress.local/wp (my wordpress folder name is ‘WP’) it says page cannot be displayed. this is in internet explorer.

kindly help.

I assume this is what is being used? If so I can just add this password hint but what file do I need to edit?

You shouldn’t edit core files because when you update BuddyPress your changes will be lost. It’s better if you track down the root cause of the problem and try to fix it.

We’ve released 2.2.3.1 to address this.

It should appear in your dashboard shortly.

If the error is preventing you from accessing the dashboard, delete wp-content/plugins/buddypress completely, and try again.

Hi @wwtuan

Do you have the exact same page (Comunity) assigned to more than one component at Settings > BuddyPress > Pages?

Don’t hack core files !

It will be overwriten at next BP update.

Use preferably a filter function. Give this a try (add it to bp-custom.php) :

function members_dir_oldest_first( $bp_user_query ) {
    if ( 'newest' == $bp_user_query->query_vars['type'] )       
		$bp_user_query->uid_clauses['order'] = "ASC";
}
add_action ( 'bp_pre_user_query', 'members_dir_oldest_first' );

hi @utahman1971,

this is the default behave of extended profile fields. Also it’s very handy, as those links became searcheable keywords. This let users click and find other entered same words.

That said, a bio is generally more personnal, so those links maybe less important…

Here’s a snippet (bp 2.0.1 +) you can add to bp-custom.php. It let’s you selectively disable those automated linking from some fields and let some other in place.

function my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data( $field_value, $field_type = 'textbox' ) {
    // Access the field you are going to display value.
    global $field;
    // In this array you write the ids of the fields you want to hide the link.
    $excluded_field_ids = array(2,6,7);
    // If the id of this $field is in the array, we return the value only and not the link.
    if (in_array($field->id, $excluded_field_ids))
	return $field_value;
	
	if ( 'datebox' == $field_type )
	return $field_value;
	
	if ( !strpos( $field_value, ',' ) && ( count( explode( ' ', $field_value ) ) > 5 ) )
	return $field_value;
	
	$values = explode( ',', $field_value );
	
	if ( !empty( $values ) ) {
		foreach ( (array) $values as $value ) {
			$value = trim( $value );
			
			// If the value is a URL, skip it and just make it clickable.
			if ( preg_match( '@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', $value ) ) {
				$new_values[] = make_clickable( $value );
				
				// Is not clickable
			} else {
				
				// More than 5 spaces
				if ( count( explode( ' ', $value ) ) > 5 ) {
					$new_values[] = $value;
					
					// Less than 5 spaces
				} else {
					$search_url   = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $value ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() );
					$new_values[] = '<a href="' . $search_url . '" rel="nofollow">' . $value . '</a>';
				}
			}
		}
		
		$values = implode( ', ', $new_values );
	}
	
	return $values;
}

/**
 * We remove the buddypress filter and add our custom filter.
 */
function remove_xprofile_links() {
    // Remove the old filter.
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
    // Add your custom filter.
    add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2);
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'remove_xprofile_links');

If you want to deactivate completely profile fied links, you can use this function:

function bpfr_remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'bpfr_remove_xprofile_links');
