Hello, since version 2.0 (beta included), I have a problem with some component buddypress such as comments, custom posts types, and other things. On previous versions, I did not notice any worries. So I tried to install buddypress on a new installation of wordpress, but the problem is still there. Maybe I forgetting to do something? Note that I work locally. Cordially.
Hi again @pietro_sferrino,
1 – HOW TO ADD A FRONT-END LOGIN FORM. I do NOT want people see the wp-default form for login. I want to show it in a front-end page. Actually, is not a matter of what I want … that is ho it HAS to work
Theme My Login is the plugin to handle that for you. Give it a try here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/
Point 2 is a little more complicated, yes it can certainly be done but it will require you to create a template. For information on the BuddyPress template hierarchy, see here: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/
Hello,
I found different answers here on Support, but only one of the two works.
I want to hide span.activity and have put the following in the style.css of my theme and this works
span.activity {
display: none !important;
}
However, I would also hide time-since and placed next code in the css file
span.time-since {
display: none !important;
}
but this has no effect
I use:
Wordpress 3.9.1
Buddypress 2.0.1
bbPress 2.5.4
BuddyPress Groups Extras 3.6.5
BP Group Documents 1.7
rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress 3.7.2
Theme is Genesis child theme Executive Pro
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
After registering as new user i have acces to the backend of wordpress. How can i solve this:Look Here for a picture.
Hope we can solve this.
Many regards,
Peter

THANK YOU @mercime …
Just 2 more things, please …
1 – HOW TO ADD A FRONT-END LOGIN FORM. I do NOT want people see the wp-default form for login. I want to show it in a front-end page. Actually, is not a matter of what I want … that is ho it HAS to work … 🙁
2 – Would it be possible to build an own Profile Page, where I can add MY particular short codes ??? I would like to show in every profile page (so it would be password-protected) something like [gravityform…] or [appointments] or [select-teacher], etc …
Thank You one more time !!!
PIETRO ^_^
@pietro_sferrino Go to Appearance > Menus and click on the “Screen Options” tab near the upper right hand corner of your screen. Then check BuddyPress to show on screen. You’ll find the new BP metabox with all BP links including the Register page which you can add directly to your main/secondary navigation menu/s. Only the Activate page is not included there.
BuddyPress should automatically create registration and activation pages for you. You can check by going to your website. For example example.com/registration or example.com/activate.
To create a WordPress navigation menu and add the activation and registration pages to it, see the WordPress Menu User Guide.
You can either copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.1/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/create.php by adding buddypress/groups/ folders and add changes yo want to make after line #185 OR add info by hooking into do_action( 'bp_before_group_invites_creation_step' ); for the Group Invite section in your theme’s functions.php file
change the edit the boxed included by default
@osamanuman just copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.1/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/buddypress/members/ folder (create folders if you don’t have them yet) then edit that register.php and save.
if I want to add mission and about us in the same registration page, how can it be done
Any field you create in the “Base” profile field group will show up in registration form. https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/
The bbpress example is a good one.
But just fyi – the BuddyPress codex page is here: bp_notifications_add_notification page.
when admin create a users he is forced to enter a pseudonym
@victord34 you mean a “username”. That is a WordPress requirement for registration, not BuddyPress. But since BP is a plugin for WP, we use those usernames in different instances.
did you read this example in the documentation? https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php
there is a function for that: bp_notifications_add_notification( $args )
Using BP 2.0.1 on a WP 3.9.1 site built with Headway Themes and I’m getting duplicate postings in the activity feed. As soon as a member creates a post – two copies of it turn up in the feed. http://boyabouttown.net/the-community/
I’ve already tried the following:
1. Deactivated ALL plugins apart from BuddyPress itself with NO change
2. Switched from Headway Themes to Twenty Fourteen with NO change
I’ve seen other posts about possible conflicts between BP and themes where both want to display the posts hence the duplication but I’m at a loss to know where I can turn this off within BP (if possible at all).
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi
the buttons can be changed with some css, on line 717 of your buddypress.css you can change this, or add the following to your style.css file to change the buttons.
#buddypress button, #buddypress a.button, #buddypress input[type=submit], #buddypress input[type=button], #buddypress input[type=reset], #buddypress ul.button-nav li a, #buddypress div.generic-button a, #buddypress .comment-reply-link, a.bp-title-button {
background: #7088E9;
border: 1px solid #6D6D6D;
color: #FFF;
font-size: 12px;
cursor: pointer;
outline: none;
padding: 4px 10px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
}
I also had the issue with padding of the activity textbox, this can be changed by adding this to style.css as far as I remember it right.
#buddypress #whats-new-options {
height: 45px !important;
}
good luck

Hi,
I’m quite new in Buddypress and I’m not an expert developer.
Can you tell me, please, how can I call a Policy MAnager Plugin to enforce users to have strong password?
In addition, can you tell, please, me where can i found this function ‘bp_core_general_settings_before_submit’?
Thanks very much
The only plugin that I have found online claiming success with his is BuddyPress Activity Tags, which is obviously unsupported and hasnt worked in years.
Has anyone on here ever come up with a solution to archiving hashtags used on the activity stream?
If you can not link to this site you should install the theme on another test site that we can access.
It is difficult to help you when we are having to guess.
I personally have no clue where the buddypres bar is loaded, but a simple google search showed a link to the buddypress codex.
Buddypress Bar
@mercime I took a look through my functions and plugins but didn’t find anything working on the admin bar, in fact my site doesn’t even display the admin bar.
where in the buddypress plugin code is the buddypress bar loaded? Maybe I could hack it to keep it from loading and see if that makes a difference.
Hi, all. I’ve just added BuddyPress 2.0.1 to my WP 3.9.1 site. The buttons are really strange, and I’m not sure where to start. I’ve searched these support forums, and even other sites for help and I’m a bit lost.
Example: http://gameclassy.com/registration/
This registration page, the text of the “Complete Signup” button is not readable. I’m not sure what’s causing this.
I will include a link to a screen cap I took with another strange button issue below:
View post on imgur.com
As you can see, below the text field the buttons are in a frame which cannot display them properly without adding a scrollbar.
Another example of unreadable buttons:
View post on imgur.com
Forgive me if I’m making novice requests or mistakes, I’m trying to learn the BuddyPress system by doing. All I need to do is correct the text on the buttons, however’s easiest, and hopefully resolve the scroll bar issue on the profile page. (link above)
Thank you for your time.
I’m running WordPress 3.9.1 multisite. One of the two sites (http://portal.innovteched.com/) has the activated BuddyPress 2.0.1 plugin. The theme is BP Corporate (from WPMU).
All other plugins are deactivated on this site.
For some reason, I cannot use the “login” bar underneath the menu. When I try to login, it redirects to this URL > http://portal.innovteched.com/wp-login.php and won’t work.
What am I missing??
Hi guys,
Which plugin is the best for social login/registration for my BuddyPress and bbPress powered website?
I want to be able to allow members to login and new users to register fast with their social network accounts.
Seen a bunch of plugins, but want to know which plugin is light and works best with BuddyPress and bbPress.
Thanks.
Thanks for the reply @mercime.
I have reinstalled BuddyPress but this made no difference. On closer inspection buddypress.js is only not loaded on the Activity page, it is loaded on all other pages (Groups, Members etc.). This issue occurs on any theme I use.
