BuddyPress.org

@hindicell as Ben mentioned above, go to Users > Profile Fields. You have the option of presenting the choices via Radio Buttons, Select Boxes or Multi Select Box

probably a jquery lightbox/popup but don’t ask me how to actually make one of those things

If you have a multisite installation and allowed users to create blogs, each user will have a “Sites” tab where the the blogs created by respective user is listed.

You can change name “Sites” to “My Blogs” by creating a new Page named “My Blogs” and then go to Network Admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and change Site Tracking page from “Sites” to newly created “My Blogs” page.

That’s the default link for the registration page.

You can change it to example.com/join-us/ or something like that by creating a page e.g. Join Us and assigning that page as your Registration page in Settings > BuddyPress > Pages.

After you’ve activated your account, you can always go to wp-login.php to log in.

Copy the “BuddyPress Component Finishing Styles” from https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file and adjust to taste. Includes bringing in the widths of item and sub navigation containers and removing the bullet points to the BP lists in different components.

@johnjf Good for you 🙂 Would you like to share how you resolved the issue for the next person who might have the same issue?

@sjroda that happened because of the many changes wrought in WP 3.5
We pretty much go along with what the mothership – WordPress – does. Even if you deactivate BuddyPress, you’d see the same behavior with featured images etc.

@voopress a simple way to do this http://bpsocialnetwork.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/sitewide-url-in-footer/

@voopress

1. the plugin has not been updated since WP 3.2.1

2. it’s a weekend and it’s one that’s before a major holiday here so many forum volunteers are shopping or just taking some well-deserved rest or traveling somewhere, etc.

3. https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-moderation/trunk/bpModLoader.php
You can still activate the plugin network-wide even if you remove that “Network: true” from that file I linked to above in your plugins/bp-moderation/ folder so you could access it in subsite’s plugin panel. Having said that, no guarantees that the plugin would still work with WP 3.5

In BuddyPress, you register and you get an activation email by default to edit profile, post status updates, create a blog or create a group, etc. Register at BuddyPress official test site at http://testbp.org to see how it goes.

@gnetworkau making it easier in BP 1.7 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4527

What version of WordPress + BuddyPress are you using?

Strange. Haven’t seen activation of BuddyPress to lead to bbPress errors before. WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? What other plugins do you have activated? Do you have group forums in addition to your Sitewide Forums?

@mairaj I suggest not including info about 5 subsites without any other explanation, otherwise I would have suggested the same thing as hnla if I did not see your most recent post.

@jig4physics weird issue. I would backup database, then via phpMyAdmin. Go to wp_users table and click on Edit link on the first row (if you’re the admin/super admin user ID is #1). In next panel, change user_status value from 2 to back to 0
