Am I the only one having a very difficult time to get a BuddyPress forum post to embed properly on Facebook. When I copy the url for a forum post and past it on Facebook, Facebook only gives the domain main link and say GROUPS.
Anybody else have this issue?
Thanks, but are you answering the question in the subject line, or the question in the body?
Do my existing WordPress users automatically become BuddyPress users?
I’m new to BuddyPress, and have an existing WordPress site. When a user is created in BuddyPress, I’m assuming they are also a WordPress user. But what about my existing users? Do they automatically become BuddyPress users?
Can custom fields be added to the profile page?
I want to use the plugin Advanced Custom Fields to add custom fields on the profile page. I know there is a buddypress specific plugin that adds custom fields but it doesn’t offer the field types I’m after. OR if there is another custom fields plugin that can be used to add custom fields on buddypress profile pages. (I’m looking to add a repeater field, a field that users can add multiples of)
@mikegillihan thanks for the tip. A default install of the latest WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress has this issue, still.
I was having the same issue; likely reason was my SEO plugin (Yoast SEO) only runs wp_get_user_contact_methods() in wp-admin. I re-registered the contact methods, and the BuddyPress-WordPress Text Fields now save the user contact data.
Hi @vapvarun, yes, I am already using Nouveau template when setting up BuddyPress.
@cheekeat please make sure you are using the Nouveau template
BuddyX is best with the Nouveau template
Setting >> BuddyPress >> Options
Hi,
We are experiencing a strange bug in profiles on a website :
https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/20159139?key=49f6e6588a7a6e61feed627ab6ca054d
It seems like the ul with class “bpxcftr-multi-taxonomy-terms-list” is not well rendered in the link element, and makes the whole field render go wrong.
We recreated the website on another environment, with strictly the same database, WP Version, PHP version, everything. But we do not reproduce the bug on our internal environment.
Here are the versions used:
WP 5.3.11
PHP 7.4
BuddyPress 9.0.0
BuddyPress Docs 2.1.3
BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types 1.1.9
Any idea what might be wrong here?
Thanks in advance 🙂

not updated from last 4 years, will suggest to avoid it
Mass Messaging in BuddyPress
Hi @vapvarun. Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the plugin you suggested. There is another plugin (BuddyPress Activity Shortcode) I have also tried. But both plugins crashed my site upon activation. I have to remove them in safe mode.
Hi,
We are using buddy press theme and using the Mass Messaging buddyPress plugin but we are facing some slow loading times issues and getting some times 503 error. We have also contacted with the host support and they told us there is error in the plugin….
Here is the error message.
Looking into this, it looks like your plugin,
mass-messaging-in-buddypress is having issues:

please check and give an solution how to fix the slow loading times isssue.
Thanks
Events Page is not a BuddyPress feature. Please clarify what you are trying to achieve here.
This is no existing way to achieve this.
For a quick way, you can do this via a mysql query. You need to know the field ID of the profile field, the user ID of the user and the value which is the pincode and enter in the bp_xprofile_data table.

p.s : Shameless self promotion ! Our plugin VibeBP (preparing to launch on wp.org as Headless reactJS interface for BuddyPress) comes with this Members panel which you maybe interested to check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asKeRjOe3p0
After installing Buddypress, the event page is empty or something, what should I do? I created the page.php file.
Each buddypress activity appears cropped in characters, with the option to read more. The truth is, it is very neat and beautiful, but I want to see the complete activities. How can I do it ?

Cada actividad de buddypress me aparece recortada en caracteres, con la opcion de leer mas.
La verdad, queda muy ordenado y bonito, pero me apetece ver las actividades completas.
Como puedo hacerlo ?
Which is the best plugin for translation in the BuddyPress site. I used the translate-press plugin, we faced a problem with that. The search functionality was not working in this.
First, you need to make sure that your members are allowed to upload cover images for their profiles. Go to BuddyPress’ backend settings, switch to the Options tab and verify that “Cover Image Uploads” under Member Settings is enabled. They should then be able to upload a cover image from the profile tab on their profile pages.
Please share the error messages you get if you run into any issues.
@niccrockett – thanks for pointing this out!
I had never seen or noticed ‘“Activity auto-refresh” under Options in BuddyPress’ settings’
I really hope some kind of slider for seconds.milliseconds can be added to the bp options!
One of my hosts demanded that I add the ‘heartbeat control’ plugin from wp-rocket (free in the wp-repo: https://wordpress.org/plugins/heartbeat-control/ ) in order to keep my wordpress requests down – maybe this can help you in the short term(?)
I found that having two tabs open with 8 wordpress sites being updated on same server was hammering it with requests from all 16 tabs every so many seconds or whatever – the admin-ajax ddosed my own server account and I did not realize it was a thing.
surely some kind of javascript timer could pop up a button /tap to refresh/ kind of thing or something? and then the automated refresh can be turned off.. I’d like that.. think I’m gonna turn it off anyway.
Since this is months old, I’ve already settled back then with the plugin “BuddyPress to WordPress Full Sync” which allows me to sync any arbitary xProfile fields to WordPress fields.
@imath I can confirm by now this works as expected when following your steps. Without being able to verify anymore what my problem was back then, I have a feeling this must have been related to validation as sometimes BuddyPress provides zero feedback when something was wrong. In my current WordPress version (5.8.3), the Twitter field is expected to be a simple username (not full URL / @), other fields like Instagram are expected to be the full URL. So perhaps the issue was that some fields didn’t match validation criteria, so BuddyPress just silently swallowed the input?
Cheers
