I’m not sure that this is the right forum to post this in, so let me know if it isn’t and I’ll go move over there (this seemed like the best place).
I have a general question about when to use BuddyPress, as in, I don’t want to install BuddyPress and find out it was complete overkill… so here’s my scenario.
The site I may be building is a membership site, which I was going to build leveraging some wpmudev plugins (Membership and Events +). Anyway, there is a need to have a Members Directory on the site as well, where users can have their information, like a basic profile, shown to other members. They may or may not be able to communicate to other members, but if not and it’s just a member directory, is it a good idea to utilize BuddyPress for this or can I achieve the same functionality with a simple WordPress install?
If they can communicate with each other, I’m assuming BuddyPress is the way to go. I’m having trouble knowing where to draw the line for utilizing BuddyPress.
I’m going to do an install of it now as a test to see what I get out of the box and how it works. I installed this a loooong time ago but I’m sure a lot has changed. Thanks for any suggestions or probing questions!
Hi @vijaymetatagg
There is some related discussion in this Trac ticket but nothing has been implemented yet:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4132
Hum… 😉
Just answered about Premium theme debuging on this topic.
Please read and follow the same instruction.
If you can get the error, ask on the theme support. Here we cannot help you, as we have no access to premium themes.
I am running the latest version of wordpress
Wordpress as a directory and is root.
I am using Multinews Theme which has Buddypress integrated into it’s theme

Your reply start good, but ends bad 😉
Helas for you, BuddyPress is not Facebook, it will get used 😉
The snippet is written in php, and has nothing to do with CSS.You can add it into your child theme’s functions.ph or into bp-custom.php
Deactivate the plugin when you test the snippet and remember that it could only be used by user with admin role. Anyway, if you use the plugin, the snippet won’t be usefull.
I tested the bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin and it works correctly for group forums. In this case, only user with author role can see and use it.
I don’t know what happens to the insert to post button in your dashboard. 🙄 This is generally due to a js conflict.
What theme do you use ?
When the Visual Tab plugin plugin is deactivated, can you use this button when inserting a picture into a post ?
Have you plugins ? Give the names please.
Yes, I am sure. I am going to continue this thread over here as I do not believe not being friends is the problem. It seems to be a problem with specific recipients.

Is there a way to disable the default sidebar on Buddypress pages when using the Canvas theme? I can disable it on any other page on my site except for the Buddypress pages.
>most people using forums expect to be able to insert images into their posts nowadays.
Agreed.
Because BuddyPress and bbPress are two separate plugins, don’t expect BuddyPress to address this issue.
I’ve never used it, but try the free version of
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
I’ve been working on my first BuddyPress site last couple of weeks so stumbling around forum posts quite a lot.
You’ve probably already found a fix @thecorkboard but I used the “bp_get_activity_css_class” to strip out the “mini” class when not required.
Thanks Shanebp. Seems like a pretty basic function – most people using forums expect to be able to insert images into their posts nowadays. Any plans to include this in Buddypress? Sounds like it’s going to be tricky to get it work with those plugins.
>To import the messages we are using the bbpress function messages_new_message( $args )
That is a BP function.
In it, near the bottom, you will see:
do_action_ref_array( 'messages_message_sent', array( &$message ) );
That is the hook to send email if the member has that Setting set to Yes.
The function messages_message_sent is in:
\buddypress\bp-messages\bp-messages-notifications.php
So you could use do_action_ref_array hook with a priority < 10 and strip out the recipients.
Or you could try a remove_action on
add_action( 'messages_message_sent', 'messages_notification_new_message', 10 );
I am experiencing an issue with the email that get’s sent out when you invite a BuddyPress friend to a new group.
The email provides a link to a head to the users group invites page.
When the user clicks on it, it is sending them to a page that states a redirect loop error.
Anyone know the cause and how to fix it?
Hi,
i am converting a hughe forum to a bbpress forum with buddypress installed.
Our custom importer also imports messages from the old forum software (CBACK a bbpress clone).
The problem is that imported messages are send through buddypress on import.
We disabled in PHP.ini
disable_functions = ‘mail’;
disable_functions = ‘fsocketopen’;
and the buddypress notification function in admin. It was tested that
wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ) dont sends out any mail.
To import the messages we are using the bbpress function messages_new_message( $args )
This works, but all imported messages from the importer are send to the user – again.
So how can we import the messages without send them out again? Or alternatively
wich function should be disabled to prevent the mail transport?
Hope someone can help us out, and thanks in advance.
Info:
WP 3.9.2
BBpress 2.5.4
BuddyPress 2.0.2

Hi @godavid33,
Unless things have changed, users should be able to message anybody. Are you sure you’re not using a plugin such as BuddyPress Private Messages for Friends Only?
Yes @danbp
You have absolutely right.
Wordpress: 3.9.2
BuddyPress: 2.0.2
Theme: Twenty Fourteen
The issue I am talking about can be replicated (in my installation) using every theme.
I wish I could be more specific.
@cartographer,
no worry about your english, mine is not perfect either.
We are here on a buddypress support forum and it is probably clear to everybody that we essentialy talk about BuddyPress and that the most of us know (more or less) how to use and manipulate it.
The problem is that if you want something to be replicated, you have to do it in the same condition as the user telling about an issue. In your issue description, the important thing is not the how, but the why.
No ?
Please try to understand that it is important to give at least your WP and BP version and the used theme
Hi again,
I use the latest versions of both WordPress and Buddypress and I can replicate the issue using “Twenty Fourteen” theme.
Wordpress: 3.9.2
BuddyPress: 2.0.2
Theme: Twenty Fourteen
Hi @danbp
I guess that if someone who uses buddypress search for a member as the url indicates: http://examplesite.com/members/?s=username
the he will go to the “searching members results screen” and he could replicate the issue.
The theme is the Twenty Fourteen.
Sorry if my english don’t help.
hi @rynoesco,
I’ve had a little work done to my profile pages
We have probably the culprit, but you say nothing about that work. What have you done exactly ?
Only CSS to get rouded avatars ? Please give details
Also read here please, and give your theme name
hi @cartographer,
Can you replicate the issue ?
How could somebody replicate an ignored context ?
Please read here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
and also add the theme name
Hi there,
I would like to point an issue I face, using the Buddypress Component “Extended Profiles”.
First of all, I just leave the first required field only, which is the display name.
In registration forms the user is able to add the display name but trying to edit it using the setting options of its profile he can’t.
Furthermore, every field I add through extended profiles options is not editable, using the setting options of each user’s profile.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much
Hi,
Got this resolved. Was able to assign buddypress to the right site after network activating. Intuitively, at first, it seemed like I either needed to activate it on a specific site, or if I network activated it, it would be on root. I was able to define the site I wanted it on, network activate it then network activate the privacy plugin that needed to be network activated. I do hope buddypress integrates more privacy options into core, especially in this day in age people will want this kind of control, but this works and thank you! 🙂
Changing Internal Configuration Settings
Cheers!
