BuddyPress.org

@neil-mcevoy Not an issue with the BuddyPress plugin. Deactivae the BuddyPress Social plugin and post at plugin author’s forums at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-social

@ssavvy default way is to go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings – Groups > Group Creation and make sure the Setting is disabled. Then you could set up a Blog Post or Forum Post or Contact form where users who want to create a group can contact you. You set it up for them and make them admins and remove yourself from admin if you prefer.

Or, you could limit Groups per user with http://buddydev.com/plugins/limit-groups-per-user/

The button was showing yesterday.

Yes, it would show up in BP Default theme, Twenty Ten Eleven Twelve and Thirteen, and all other themes which have the page title template tag within the WordPress loop. If your button doesn’t show up, then you’d either have to add the code to your theme file e.g. example.com/groups/create (just need to add /create to URL). Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, add link to create a group in toolbar apply patch per this trac ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1838

@tosen the only other media plugin I know which is compatible with BuddyPress and which allows media (photo, video, audio) uploads via post update box in Activity Stream is the premium BP Gallery plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/

There’s a free media plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/ I haven’t used this plugin so do check if it allows uploads from Activity Stream post update box and which is free and which upload is PRO/premium version.

@kukuruk where are you hosted? Windows or Linux server? BuddyPress requires pretty permalinks, have you set your permalinks to other than default in Settings > Permalinks? Have you gone and set up BuddyPress in Settings > BuddyPress?

A few years ago I set up my first buddypress site and sold it.

I definitely remember using a dynamic url for links to the users profile, activity stream etc.

It was something like:

http://www.mydomain.com/member/$profile/

Are we all sure that this can no longer be done?

Yeah Brajesh’s plugin works great. Here is an alternate method I posted on my blog if you wanna give it a try.
BuddyPress Redirect To Profile Trick Using A Landing Page.

With the update to BP 1.7.3 is bp-custom.php no longer a valid way to make configuration settings changes?

It depends on the change. See https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/ for some more info. We haven’t changed how bp-custom.php is handled, so things should still work IF they used to work.

You have to log-out to see the registration page. This is default behavior. It wouldn’t be logical for someone that has the credentials to be logged in to view that page. That is why it redirects to the home page. I am looking at your registration page now and it looks fine!

@terungwa
Have you went to dashboard/settings/general and clicked the box beside Membership that anyone can register?

No, This site uses bbPress.

Look at bpinspire.com for sites using BuddyPress

bbPress is a forum add on. BuddyPress creates groups, activity streams and profiles.
