BuddyPress.org

Please note that that page is in the ‘ Legacy Docs’ section.

Have you tried searching the WordPress plugin repository for something like ‘buddypress spam messages’?

A good plugin that will certainly resolve the issue is
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-private-message-for-friends-only/

Same here after an install of 1.7.2 and 3.5.2 with multisite.

It does seem to be an issue so I suggest you file a bug report at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Well, I think is a theme problem.

I switched to BP theme and didn’t have any problems. When I went back to Striking, BP pages were redirected to Archives.

I guess I have to contact Striking authors.

Hi Jay,

I was having a similar problem and did as suggested here:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bp-default-sidebar-login-not-working/#post-166898

Hope it serves! Good luck!

This is really crazy!

I also found this problem in the creation of my site (WordPress 3.5.2 + Buddypress 1.7.2 + bbPress 2.3.2, default BP Theme, no other plugins, fresh installed…).

I was getting a Error 500 when antempting to log in.

Followed the instructions and now is solved, thanks!

Someone should include this bug into development for next version of BuddyPress!!

Hi,
I’m sorry if here is not the place to put my problem but it’s similar as @shuklaamar1509 exept the fact that I’m not on a local host.
Examples:
Page Members – Permalink: http://www.theartbook.eu/members/ but if you visit it you will see Archives.
The same is for most of Buddy Press pages.
My permalink settings are:Post name : http://www.theartbook.eu/sample-post/

WP -3.5.1
Theme – Striking
Buddy Press – 1.7.2

Thank you!

It is part of the settings menu so with reference to support instructions you could put it like this:

Settings > General

Just to note the context – the settings menu on the same level as Activity, Profile, Friends. Account settings is a component that you can enable/disable so it is possible you don’t have it switched on currently. Go to Administration > Settings > BuddyPress and then look for “Account settings”

add_theme_support(‘buddypress’) is one of the means BP will know to override theme compat so you only want that if doing /my-theme/members/index.php etc.

Otherwise you should be able to overload that template in either mode without issue so unfortunately this is a theme framework issue.

BuddyPress already has a page for changing your password. It isn’t on the profile page directly – instead it’ll be

example.com/members/username/settings/general

@bkypes
Try adding the below code to bp-custom.php if a logged out visitor tries to go to the activity page then they are redirected to login. For more info on bp-custom.php please see:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/

/* Prevent logged out users from accessing bp activity page */
function nonreg_visitor_redirect() {
global $bp;
  if ( bp_is_activity_component() ) {
    if(!is_user_logged_in()) { //just a visitor and not logged in
        wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php' );
    }
  }
}
add_filter('get_header','nonreg_visitor_redirect',1);

No, you’ll need to use something that’s can work with MySQL.
