Hello,
I am using latest version of Buddypress with WordPress. I want to create a custom page to collect attchments from user. Also, only admin and attached user can view that attachment.
Any way to this?
Deleting BuddyPress
If you follow all of the instructions in that article you should get to the point where you can reinstall.
hi @dea8885,
I don’t think it is possible to get different group on different pages. But if you give more details about why you want to do this, somebody can help you find another solution ?
The group component use only one page for all groups. This page is the one you create when you activate the group component. From this point it is no more an ordinary page. So forget adding shortcodes to it.
Component pages are intended to be used internaly for wp purpose, where buddypress add/remove templates and content depending the context.
This page should stay empty.
Hi. How can I remove the buddypress widget controls altogether? (ie, I don’t just not want their content on the web site, I don’t want the buddypress widgets in the widget dashboard area at all.)
My system:
wp 4.o multi-site, installed in root directory
using a child theme of twenty twelve
buddypress 2.0.2, no bbpress.
Thanks in advance.
Is there anyone who can help with the installation of BuddyPress?
Registration
On nl.gscgambia.com the registration runs completely correct. You give your name and info, you will receive an email with activation code, which you click on you are logged in. But it give you the message that an Administrator need te approve the final login. Just Perfect.
On en.gscgambia.com the registration runs completely wrong. You give your name and info, you will receive an email with activation code, which you click on and you come to a page where you must enter your code. THAT IS NOT THE INTENTION. Even if you copy the code from your email, it does not work.
This has now been months a quest for me. Maybe someone here who has the knowledge and will help me in an emergency.
Many regards.
@annyrakesh,
it’s the third old topic i found where you jumped in, please don’t do that and open your, and describe your problem.
I answered you about the pot file on this topic (closed now)

@annyrakesh,
please don’t jump into old post !
You want to modifify this phrase:
Registering for this site is easy. Just fill in the fields below, and we’ll get a new account set up for you in no time. who sit on the register page.
The string is in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php line 22
and in the pot file of bp 2.0.2 at line 1236.
The pot file is a working copy for translators, not the file to modify to get any customization.
To do this you have to use poEdit, or a similar software.
poEdit only read the pot file, then he create a po file on the fly and when you save this po file, poEdit generate a mo file.
This is a compiled file, not human readable, who is used by the gettext php module to translate the strings he find in the buddypress code.
Pot files are provided by the plugin authors. It’s a simple text format file with a specific syntax.
The po file is also a text format file, but written differently, as it contains the original string in english AND the translation of this string in a foreign language.
And the mo file is the system file who have to use on the server.
register.php is a template file, so if you have to change only this phrase, you can make a copy and paste it into your child-theme and modify the wording directly in the file. Not orthodox, but it works.
If you have other question about translation or wordings, feel free to open your own topic, give your bp version, theme name and used language on the installation.

Hi
I can add video in normal post in wordpress just by copying the video file address .
It generates the following code automatically:
[video src="...." /]
I test it in buddypress and it generates the code but it doesn’t show the video . How can I show the video ?
I know bp supports youtube but I’d like to use any video .
Thanks
@christicehurst,
in other words, you didn’t use buddypress for a while and when you reactivate the plugin, all goes wrong.
The easiest way to go is to deactivate buddypress from your plugins list and delete it.
Check it is really the case in the wp-content/plugins/ directory on the FTP server.
Then you check your database and delete any table (16 tables on a single install) you may encounter related to BP.
Those tables are are all prefixed like this: _bp_table_name. By default, wp_bp_table_name.
Once done, go back to your wordpress install and check if the site is working flawless.
If ok, you install a new copy of buddypress via the plugin installer on the dashboard.
Activate, adjust BP settings without forgetting the permalink setting, and enjoy.

I close this topic. Feel free to create a new one in english.
Dank u voor uw begrip.
I removed Buddy Press a few months ago and I have decided to give it another go and I remembered removing the tables back then. When I re-installed it it didn’t re-install the tables and have been having issues such not able to add Friends etc and a number of issue.
How does one solve this issue?
Is er hier iemand die mij kan helen met de installatie van Buddypress?
Dit is een multisite.
Op nl.gscgambia.com loopt het volledig correct. Je geeft je naam en info in (bij registreren), je krijgt een email met activatiecode, die klik je aan je je bent ingelogd. Dan krijg je nog de melding dat een aministrator je loogin moet goedkeuren.
Op en.gscgambia.com loopt het mis. Je geeft je naam en info in (bij registreren), je krijgt een email met activatiecode, die klik je aan en je komt op een pagina terecht waar je je code moet ingeven. DAT IS NIET DE BEDOELING. Als je dan de code uit je mail kopieert, lukt het ook niet.
Dit is nu al maanden een zoektocht voor mij. Misschien iemand hier die de kennis heeft en mij uit de nood kan helpen?
Mvg

Hi, I’ve installed the BuddyPress plugin, but is doesn’t show up on the Appearance -> Menus page. What’s the problem?
Left: normal, right: mine
Hello danbp.
I understand your position totally and thank you for your honest and frank reply.
I have posted this question on other forum sites including Buddydev and wpmudev and essentially they all point me back to buddypress ” this is a buddypress issue you should seek a solution there”
So, I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Anyway, thank you for your time and advice. Although this problem might take me a bit longer to solve I’ll continue to scout this forum for other smaller issue I need solved

Please create your own ticket next time instead of posted in old topics, thanks.

Turns out it’s long standing issue: “Stop using hide_sitewide for privacy purposes” https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3857
Any suggested work around in the mean time?
I was going on both my own experience with the editor and the note in the Codex article I referenced above. My own experience wasn’t with the what’s new form so if it’s working for the what’s new form then completely disregard what I said above 🙂
Edit: And you’re right about BuddyPress JavaScript needing the #whats-new selector. I can see it’s used a couple of times inside buddypress.js.
hi @henrywright,
you’re right, but buddypress use his own js to handle this textarea, and use what-new as ID and as name.
If you remove the hyphen, the editor doesn’t work correctly because js couldn’t recognize it.
Of course i tested with 2013, but also with 2014 and 3 other themes containing heavy js effect without any conflict. I think if BP is working without any issue with a given theme, the snippet can be used.
If you have a better solution, i would be glad to learn.
Strange, I was thinking of that service actually now, and I saw this..would be nice to know how much it can help buddypress..
I understand, but i’m not here to help supporting premium themes. You paid the theme and for support.

If you don’t know how to do this, you may want to consider hiring a developer.
@emilyyamaoka,
please read here and give your theme name
i have a buddypress community: http://bp-fr.net. You can contact me there.
hi @ks2-problema,
maybe time also to contribute ! 😉 Do not hesitate.
Or browse through the forum. For example this topic, 3 days ago.
