@musickjl WP/BP versions? Deactivate BuddyPress, can you upload images in regular Posts or Pages? Have you gone through basic troubleshooting like deactivating plugins batch by batch to check which is interfering with avatar uploads? What theme are you using?

@jfarrisknight reupload BuddyPress via s/FTP or cpanel. All data is in the database which you should back up regularly.

when a contractor changed some of the styles for BP

@mindimer Have you tried re-uploading WordPress and BuddyPress as well?

it prevents setting a featured image.

@mindimer You mean featured image for a Post or Page? Haven’t seen this issue reported for current nor trunk versions. Are you able to upload user Avatars? If so, then file permissions are not the issue and BP is not interfering with image uploads.

What are your WordPress/BuddyPress versions? Could be conflict of theme with BuddyPress. What theme are you using? Have you tried changing to Twenty Twelve theme with BuddyPress to see if issue is resolved or not?

@vikki2 have you tried re-uploading BuddyPress manually?
Saw this issue only once in localhost, resolved it by reinstalling BP.

But you only mentioned missing the Save button in Settings > BuddyPress > Components panel. Are the buttons showing up in BP > Pages and BP > Settings panels>

Humm, never used the ‘blocked’ role in bbPress. You could try changing the line:

if ( $days_since_last_active > 60 ) continue;

to

$user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );
if ( ($user->roles[0] == 'blocked') || ($days_since_last_active > 60 ) ) continue;

I am not exactly sure if there is a role called “blocked” in bbPress. Perhaps someone else familiar with bbPress can chip in here to confirm?

My approach was taken from this thread:

Try this trick:
BuddyPress Redirect To Profile Trick Using A Landing Page.
To modify it to redirect to activity just change this line:
bp_core_redirect( get_option('home') . '/members/' . bp_core_get_username( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) . '/profile' );
To this if you want personal activity:
bp_core_redirect( get_option('home') . '/members/' . bp_core_get_username( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) . '/activity' );
Or to this if you want sitewide activity:
bp_core_redirect( get_option('home') . '/activity');

You just need a BuddyPress child theme. It would be awkward to have your main theme and then another one for bbpress especially since theme compatability came out. But there are themes for bbpress. I just believe in consistency or users may think they got redirected to a whole different site. You want every page to be identifiable to your brand or else people will get confused. At least that is my opinion. Imagine a theme based on Space, then one based on animals all on the same site. It would drive people nuts trying to figure out what happened! LOL!

What do you mean by locking an account? i’m not sure i’ve ever come across that before. Is it standard functionality to WordPress/ BuddyPress or does the functionality come as a plugin?

Hi bb-help thanks, yes I can do this,
I’m familiar with work arounds like this you mentioned above 🙂

Ahh, ok @ankytt I was confused because your question was:

I am finding a Plugin that allows me to import friends from various …

How did you resolve your facebook friends? I was trying to get my friend’s email addresses from facebook in order to invite them to my site (but I didn’t want to invite them via fb messages) and till now I didn’t find any application which grabs those email addresses for me, I have also purchased this crap: http://www.rankbook.com/faceemailgrabber.php but it doesn’t work too, if this happily works it grabs 20 names and 2 emails like name@facebook.com , no real email, yahoo facebook import doesn’t work too if you have more than 1000 friends so I gave it up. If you have find some way how to do it I would be happy to hear that. I think that from Yahoo and Gmail you can easily export email addresses to CSV file and then with some Buddypress plugins it should be easy to invite them. I had a problem only with getting Facebook emails.

If you see clearly, http://my.telegraph.co.uk/kevin_straw/ is displayed inside my.telegraph.co.uk and not as a separate blog.

@onesoftindiana based on the structure, WordPress Multisite and BuddyPress are installed at root of http://my.telegraph.co.uk/ and user blogs (subsites) are all using a custom theme named “Telegraph User Blogs” where the header and footer links highlight the main sections of telegraph.co.uk

@djpaul would be the authority re my.telegraph.co.uk 🙂

@freddy34 the theme you purchased is “supposed” to be compatible with BuddyPress per promo page. Maybe you stil need to add a plugin or tweak something in the theme to fix the layout. Or maybe the theme author needs to update the theme. Sorry, we have no access to the premium theme. Please contact the theme author for support which is given for premium themes. Good luck.

s2member works well with BuddyPress. When you use BP with multisite only one site on the network contains BP. However, any member of any site on the network is added to BuddyPress. BP consolidates blog postings from the entire multisite into a list.

Alot of WP plugins work with BP. Search BuddyPlug in wordpress.org repo. Also bpinspire.com to see full sites using BuddyPress

this plugin doesn’t restrict the last activity

it shows it under my nickname on my profile page..
