@caesarhills
Have you tried deactivating all plugins other than buddypress and activating a known theme that works well with BP like twenty fourteen? Sometimes plugins and themes can cause issues with the activation email. If that resolves the issue then you will know it was a faulty plugin or theme.
Thank you. It was the theme that was the problem. I had upgraded BuddyPress to a version that no longer was supprted by the old theme. Using Cpanel I was able to update WordPress and change theme.
For having this effect, I tried now the following:
I created inside my reddle-child-folder a page-profil.php starting with:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Profil-Seite
*/
and I inserted there the entrire code of the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/home.php
Then I created a new page http://kampfsportlerinnenneuwied.1a-spielwiese.de/profil/, using my new WordPress Template Profil-Seite.
The result is neither regarding the design nor regarding the content that, which I hoped, that it would be – but maybe it’s a first step in the right direction. –
Question:
Is there a way to insert into my page-profil.php code, that makes, that
—
In the corresponding way I created a page-groups.php (using the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/groups.php) and a page-profile-details.php (using the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile.php) as well as pages http://kampfsportlerinnenneuwied.1a-spielwiese.de/profil/profile/ and http://kampfsportlerinnenneuwied.1a-spielwiese.de/profil/groups/.
The result is even worse, as you can see.
Question:
(How) is it possible to change that files in a way, that makes the pages displaying what they should display – i.e. the content of the pages:
http://1a-spielwiese.de/mitglieder/kampfsportlerinnenneuwied/profile/
and
http://1a-spielwiese.de/mitglieder/kampfsportlerinnenneuwied/groups/
?

If I want to make updates to buddypress CSS for desktops and get rid of those updates (styles) on the ipad and phones to keep on responsiveness. What do you suggest I do?
You can use media queries to make different styles to different screen sizes.
As @djpaul mentioned earlier, the terminology is important because ‘comments’ can refer to 2 things:
- post comments
- activity comments.
Post comments are handled by WordPress and are stored in the wp_comments database table (see here). Activity comments are handled by BuddyPress and are stored in a custom table created by BP called bp_activity (see here).
Hi,
I’ve installed Buddypress on this site: zacfootball.com. Everything is ok except that when the user receive a message telling him that his account has been actived, he receive a new password, which is different to the password he wrote on register page.
I don´t want that his password is changed.
I’ve installed also a plugin called New User Approve.
Thanks.
The folders are:
1) buddypress
2) css
3) js
The file is buddypress-functions.php.
Sorry, you are right. The folders css and js are on same level as buddypress; not below. My mistake.
@1a-spielwiese
Inside bp-legacy we have three folders and one file:
The folders are:
1) buddypress
2) css
3) js
The file is buddypress-functions.php.
Buddypress folder contains (activity, blogs, forums, groups, members).
The path you specified doesn’t exist in my directory listing. When I follow your link I get (Failed to retrieve directory listing).
Thanks
Hi,
I’m using the latest versions of buddypress e bbpress: I’m looking for a plugin that allow the members of the forum to upload images live into the forum.
I’ve read something, but some discussions are old of some years and I’m new on wordpress, so I came here for a little help.
Anyone can advice me a simple plugin for that and how to install it?
Any replies will be very appreciated.
Thanks all
@aapollo: thanks for your response.
So you’re saying that the entire WordPress.com platform and all its users’ sites are running on WPEngine hosting? We were on their business plan for a launch earlier this year and our site got completely fried. Really bad experience and WPEngine support sucked really, really bad. We were forced to switch and are now on Linode.
Using Disqus for comments doesn’t really solve our problem because it’s not native and very difficult if not impossible to embed fully into all the BuddyPress features as far as I know.
@djpaul: Would love to hear your opinion on this.
If (buddypress.js) path is:
/MYDOMAINNAME.com/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js
and I want to edit this in my child theme, I have to create js folder inside my child theme. The path will be:
/MYDOMAINNAME.com/html/wp-content/themes/ChildThemeName/js
But in reality the path is:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/BUDDYPRESS/js/buddypress.js
Therefore the path for the copy must be:
wp-content/themes/ChildThemeName/BUDDYPRESS/js/buddypress.js
This is really useful! So let’s make this based on ftp url’s to confirm our understanding. If (buddypress.js) path is:
/MYDOMAINNAME.com/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js
and I want to edit this in my child theme, I have to create js folder inside my child theme. The path will be:
/MYDOMAINNAME.com/html/wp-content/themes/ChildThemeName/js
Inside the js folder in the child theme directory I will copy and past buddypress.js there and edit it at my convenience. The updates will not affect this file, do I ever have to worry about updating this?
Regarding buddypress CSS, do I have to create a folder for Buddress like this one: your-child-theme/css/buddypress.css to style buddypress? or I can add this to the style.css in the child theme directory? what is the best practice?
If I want to make updates to buddypress CSS for desktops and get rid of those updates (styles) on the ipad and phones to keep on responsiveness. What do you suggest I do?
Thanks
Details:
WordPress 4.0
Plugin BuddyPress 2.1
Plugin Relevanssi 3.3.7.1
URL: https://www.saferoom.fi
Problem:
Search bar finds loads of items, but it only shows the ones that are under BuddyPress pages.
Example:
I try to find for “Finland” from my posts by using the search field. Relevanssi’s dashboard shows that it finds multiple hits. Search results only show a group meant for Finland. So it does not show posts related.
Relevanssi is installed to show the real search results. The problem occurred when I installed BuddyPress.
Site is a closed community blog.
Thank you for your help.
@mineo
Slovak BuddyPress lang community declares that the files are fully translated.
False ! According to the GlotPress stats, the buddypress translation is only 64% translated.
You have to finish the translation.
Download the po from glotpress
Update that file from the pot file who comes with BP 2.1
Use poEdit to do this.

@r-a-y
Passing ‘&count_total=count_query’ as argument to bp_has_activities() doesn’t seem to work.
The reason I need it to work is because I’m using the plugin “Buddypress Site Wide Activity”.
I tried to pass the argument inside the plugin (it uses bp_has_activities() to show the activities). Also, for testing purpose, I tried to do it inside activity-loop.php, Passed the argument and added bp_activity_pagination_count() and bp_activity_pagination_links() just to test it.
It doesn’t work.
The performance bottleneck that this query was causing made me re-think about it. Maybe it would be good enough for me to just add a link inside the plugin’s widget to the site wide activity page.
Anyway, thanks for clarifying what the issue was.
Thank you very much Shpitzyl for your reply,
I wanted to edit “bp-core-widgets” the directory is plugins >buddypress > bp-core > bp-core-widgets.php , so within my child theme I have created a folder “buddypress” and within that folder a subfolder “bp-core” and bp-core-widgets.php is the same directory as the plugin. But when i edit the file in child theme directory my edit does not show whereas if i edit the file within the plugin directory it works. Please help me where have i gone wrong 🙁 do I have to specifically all any thing in my child theme style.css ??
/*
Theme Name: Buddy Child Theme
Description: Child Theme
Version: 1.0
Author:
Author URI:
Template: buddy
Tags: buddypress
*/
@import url("../buddy/style.css");
Thank you very much Shpitzyl
Within your child theme, you can only use budypress template files – the files inside /bp-template/bp-legacy/.
In order to edit the template files you have to create a folder named buddypress inside your child theme folder. Every file you want to edit should be inside the same directory structure as in bp-legacy.
For example:
If you want to edit activity-loop.php then you place the file in:
your-child-theme/buddypress/activity/
Editing css and js:
your-child-theme/css/buddypress.css
your-child-theme/js/buddypress.js
Another thing that you should look at are hooks. Buddypress has many hooks that you can use inside your functions.php. I’ve never found any structured documentation about it. but you can learn a lot about it from tutorials online. Here is a blog with many tutorials
http://bp-tricks.com/
Sometimes you can’t find hooks to everything you want to do so what I do is documenting my hacks in the core so I can keep track of them when it is time to upgrade.
Hello Buddypress,
I am using “Buddy: Multi-purpose WordPress & BuddyPress Theme” the theme has a child theme and i am able to style the site without any problem. My concern is I would like to edit some buddypress plugin file like “bp-core-widgets.php” and “register.php” I have did some edit and after updating the plugin to Version 2.1.1 I have lost all my changes, which is natural.
My question is like woocommerce you can create a woocommerce within the child theme and edit the file and worry about the changes getting lost in the update, how do i achieve this with buddypress ??
Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Singh
Do you use Template Pack ? You have to deactivate it if so, as that plugin is no more necessary.
It was changed lang location in new version of BuddyPress. After this, plugin Codestyling Localization can not be used.
Translating is incomplete, BuddyPress translating plugin doesn’t help me.
You can see untranslated Items in image:
When I copy old translation files(.po,.mo) to new locations, doesn’t help me.
Slovak BuddyPress lang community declares that the files are fully translated.
Thx for help.

@rubyji
Please don’t reply to threads going on 4 years old
For my point of view:
1. If is wanted, that users use the search function, before asking new questions, then should be appreciated also, that users reply on old threads.
2. If the latter is not appreciated, then old threads should be closed automatically for new replies (and, maybe, also excluded from search results) after a certain time, e.g. 12 or 18 month.

I liked that @rubyji referred on the old threads – because I like documentation of historical progress, i.e.:
that a issue, that was unresolved 4 years ago, is now resolved. 🙂
@solosails
have you searched/asked first on PageLines forum ?
Sounds more like a theme issue, when reading such answer:
What you need to do is replace the 404 section with the Content/PostLoop section. This will display your Members profile.
Ouille !
@rubyji
Please don’t reply to threads going on 4 years old as it clutters the forum and bumps a thread that is ancient. You also replied on an almost 2 year old thread here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/export-users-and-xprofile-data/
I can respect you wanting to help and inform users that this can be accomplished with the plugin you linked too but one reply to the most recent thread is plenty enough.
This is causing me a massive issue too.
I am using dms2 mostly it works but there are many 404 page errors. Pagelines forum have taken this up as a bug, but it does seem that this error happens on many other themes, so perhaps a different approach needs to be taken from buddypress?
I hope this gets taken up! Thanks
