The Add Friend button continues to be displayed beside every name on the Members page including those who were all ready friended.
WordPress v.4.1.1
BuddyPress v.2.2.2.1

Members won’t appear in the members loop until they have a last_activity entry.
Logging in will create that entry.
Or you can give them one as soon as a member is registered via front or back end:
function webmister_add_last_activity( $user_id ) {
bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id, bp_core_current_time() );
}
add_action ('user_register', 'webmister_add_last_activity', 20, 1);
Put the function in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php.
It’s a bit obvious to explain.
When group component is activated, you should have a page assigned to groups. Ensure this page exist, without any content , page template or parent page. Just a page with a title.
Don’t forget to allow group forums in bbpress forum settings and to assign a group forum page, which should not be the existing Group page of BP.
On front when you create a new group, you create first the group. In one of the creation steps, you can check “allow this group to have a forum”. Then you save this. Once saved, you will see that the group name appeared in the select box. You must save this again to definetly activate a forum to this group. Same can be done by accessing group settings > forum tab.
Resume of creating a group with forum
enter a group name and description, check allow forum. Save. Select box must now contain the new group name. Save again.

Thnak you.
Have you a test site or a local install where you can make some test ?
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
I tried to change role and other fields in new members, but nothing happened.
On a single regular install, all BuddyPress members have the default role you assigned to new users in WP settings > general. There is nothing to change at this level when they don’t show up on member’s directory.
If you need some fake BuddyPress users and content, i suggest you to use BuddyPress Default Data, which is great to control if anything is working correctly.
Deactivate your theme and all other plugins except BP and use Twenty Fifteen while testing.
Activate also wp_debug in wp-config, and see if you get somme php errors.
hum… difficult to say at t he moment, as you use 2 different site apparently.
hxxp://www.anadercategori.org/ and hxxp://pallavoloromana.it/anadercategori/squadre/test7/
Which site belongs your members to ? Where is buddyPress installed ?
BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

@leanneoleary,
already solved many times on the forum. Choose from here ! š
BP Reshare is a BuddyPress plugin to allow members to reshare their activities !
It wasn’t made to reshare views.
@imath is working on many other porjects, including BuddyPress. So he’s very busy and this plugin is now “old” and need probably some refactoring.
Sorry for you, but don’t expect much at this time.
Consider
https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-articles/
First off, all active BP components should have a assigned page. (mandatory)
This page must be blank, without any template model or parent page.
As you use Twenty Eleven via a child theme, read here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/twenty-eleven-theme/ How to get the sidebar is explained there.
Where is WP installed ?
Site url is vatpt1.thevillageblog.com/
Blog seems to be in /villageatthepark/
I’m looking for the same functionality.
This is what I’ve found so far: https://github.com/imath/bp-reshare
It’s from this post: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/user-activity-share-plugin-for-wordpress-buddypress/
Let’s hope this functionality will get more attention, and implemented.
BP use wp_safe_redirect.
See documentation in bp-core-functions.php:830
or use
https://github.com/pixeljar/BuddyPress-Honeypot
I had this honeypot working perfect before. Now I made a custom register page and it’s no longer working for no reason. All I did was move the bp-legacy Buddypress to the /buddypress folder to create a child theme for edits. Everything is working besides the honeypot.
Here’s a link to the code I have in my register page now:
http://www.codeshare.io/yQACc
Buddypress build:
Buddypress Version 2.1.1
WordPress 4.0.1
Using DevDMBootstrap3 theme
I havenāt edited any core files in WP/BP.
Here’s the code I used that worked previously:
// BuddyPress Honeypot
function add_honeypot() {
echo '';
}
add_action('bp_after_signup_profile_fields','add_honeypot');
function check_honeypot() {
if (!empty($_POST['system55'])) {
global $bp;
wp_redirect(home_url());
exit;
}
}
add_filter('bp_core_validate_user_signup','check_honeypot');
Glad you got it !
And feel free to edit the codex page and add your experience and how-to story.

Lost in the forest indeed whaha, exiting tho!
When debugging the only error I get is:
Warning: base64_decode() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/admin/domains/ictaanbieding-webdesign.nl/public_html/FEN/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-actions.php on line 137
Any idea?
I had this site with buddypress running on another server and it worked fine, so im starting to believe it might me a user right issue.
Right, so the advice from @shanebp worked.
As I mentioned above, when originally did the translation, I didn’t use Poedit, I used an online editor (after using Codestyling first). Turns out the they simply aren’t as advanced as Poedit and those source keywords were really important here. As I was going through the strings in Poedit, I was seeing strings I had never seen before in the other software since the other editing softwares probably couldn’t read the strings in the first place.
I’ve seen various threads where other people have struggled with translating the same thing. Perhaps an update to the documentation including information about these specifics might be helpful for other in the future. The documentation https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ does talk about using Poedit, but leaves out those rather important details needed to get a complete label and message change.
Either way, this issue is resolved.
Activate wp_debug in wp-config and do a test with Twenty Twelve, Thirteen or Fifteen theme.
Deactivate all plugins except BP and bbPress.
Then report given errors here (without server path details if possible – just begin of error message and file name ).
Other issues with same theme: https://buddypress.org/support/search/onecommunity+theme/
OMG, lost in the forest… wouh hou !
@azedinos
why do you use the trunk version ? Use the stable version, when you start with BuddyPress.
Album doesn’t exist in BuddyPress.
For the button issue, maybe you have a problem with your theme ?
Please give more details after reading here.
Have you setup a page for groups ?
Have you setup pretty permalinks ?
Configure BuddyPress
Edit: modifed your topic title to something more accurant as Creating group doesnt work. Because it definetly works. š
– keep in mind that Iām not doing a full on translation, just this BuddyPress translation to change Friends to Connections.
you put only those strings into your custom po. If the concerned string is on a template file, you can also hardcode it there, and use a template overload to get in from your child-theme in that case. So you haven’t to struggle with poEdit. In this case also, you have to take care of the details given by @shanebp.
– does the language define statement in wp-config.php need to be set for this to work?
This is no more used since WP 4.0. You can remove it.
– buddypress-en_US.po and buddpress-en_US.mo files need to be in which folder?
/wp-content/languages/plugins/ (the po file is not used by gettext, it’s only a human readable work file – you can store it elsewhere if you want. You just have to remind where in that case š ).
if you put it in /language/ (of course you can), you will see buddypress-en_US as a language setting. Which is of course not the site language.
But in any case, keep a copy of your work in a safe place outside of WP.
Hi there,
I’ve been looking for awsners all day but cant seem to find them.
We use Buddypress on a new website and everything works fine, we love it and will start using it soon when the site goes live.
Problem at this moment is when we head over to the group page, on the right site there is create new groep. Step 1 (works) Titel and description. After this step nothing works we only see go back, move forward button and no information or anything we can enter. When we click on go further we get an error (WordPress error do you wish to continue)
after step 1 we get this:
when we click continue nothing happends (WP error)
I deleted the buddypress plugin and uploaded it again on FTP.
I disabled all other plugins.
Any idea?
I am using WordPress 4.1.1 and just updated to the most recent version of Buddypress, although this problem existed on the version I was using before as well (2.2.1). I am using a custom theme, so it’s possible that is the problem, but I just want to make sure.
The problem that I am having is that when I go to a user’s activity stream and create a new post, and then click on the comment button, a text area appears. But as soon as I refresh the site, the textarea will not reappear–the comment button changes to its hover color (and does not change back) but nothing else changes when clicked. So basically, the only time a user can comment is when the post has been just created and possibly just on his or her own post, it seems. I have been doing some customization in bp-custom, but none of it has related to comments in any way. Do you have any suggestion for where to look for the problem? Honestly, I’d rather the comment textarea just show all the time than have a completely useless comment button.
Otherwise, I’m looking for some insight into what the problem may be or at the very least how the comment button functions. Thanks!
