BuddyPress.org

Go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings – Groups and remove ability of all users to create groups. Then, there’s also the BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation plugin which extends the capabilities but I’m not sure if it’s still compatible with current BP 1.7.2

@gcarlos8377 Basic troubleshooting involves deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and switching to the Twenty Twelve theme to check if registration is working by default. Then add on each plugin and test.

Never used Magic Member before, so if you find out that it’s causing the issue, I suggest you search the plugin’s forums for any report on BuddyPress conflict. Usually, support is guaranteed along with the purchase of the premium plugin.

@daniel-alonso could be that your page title is not within the WP loop. Appending /create to the groups directory URI will help you get to the Groups Create page. e.g. example.com/groups to example.com/groups/create

Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can add the code to your My Account section of the WP Toolbar https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1838

Thanks for posting back and congratulations on getting your issue resolved 🙂
Marking this topic as so.

You really need to do a little more research on this topic because it will give you a better understanding of WP and BP. The short answer to this is Yes you need to install WordPress because BuddyPress is a plugin that extends WordPress. There is lots of info in the codex of WP and BP. There is also lots of video tutorials on YouTube. Google is your friend as well. Good luck!

@gcarlos8377 more like an issue with the seed registration plugin. Deactivate that plugin and change to Twenty Twelve theme then go through the regular BP registration process.

@dsvay Looks like yout issue is not with BuddyPress but the Customizr theme as determined at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-media-and-buddypress?replies=8
Please post at the theme’s support forums https://wordpress.org/support/theme/customizr

Not quite sure what you mean. Look at the navigation style https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7.2/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css#L505 and override or use Firefox add-on Firebug to identify what you need to change

This is the old thread but the same question, I didn’t want to spam here that’s why I will ask the same question here again, I would like to dynamically populate buddypress data into custom post types gravity forms when the user is logged in, I am succesfully populating wordpress user meta, but I don’t know the code in functions.php for buddypress profile fields to make them work, I have already asked on Gravity Help forum, but there are plenty of questions like that and the same as mine question they have never been answered, I hope that maybe somebody from this forum already had to resolve that problem in the past.

@tfazlani Would you mind sharing your working code Tfazlani?

<?php
$userid = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$avatarurl = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $userid, ‘html’ => false ) );
echo $avatarurl;
?>

rewrite the quote marks, if you cut and paste it can have funky formatting. If you want to display the avatar instead of getting link:

<?php
$userid = bp_loggedin_user_id();
echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $userid) );
?>

In regards to WP SEO by Yoast you can try this solution courtesy of BuddyDev:

Making WordPress SEO plugin compatible with BuddyPress

@gcarlos8377
I see the problem but have you tried switching themes as I suggested because it may be an issue with your theme.

@sna2009
Here is a link to the WP codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/
and to the BP codex

BuddyPress Codex

I would bookmark them both because you will find yourself referencing them often.
Good luck!

$id = //pass the id of a user
bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $id, ‘html’ => false ) );

If you are not on a user page then you must tell it what id of the avatar to get.

bp_displayed_user_id
bp_loggedin_user_id

@gcarlos8377
Have you tried activating Twenty Twelve theme or bp-default theme to see if the issue persists?

@sna2009
The codex is as good a place as any to learn WP and BP. You can search YouTube for videos as well. Lynda.com offers tutorials for a fee, as well as Tutsplus.com . Lisa Sabin-Wilson has several books called WordPress and BuddyPress for dummies but I am not certain how up to date they are with current versions of WP and BP.
