Topic: Page Hierarchy Pain
(info on wp and bp versions, etc, at bottom of this post)
I’ve set up a page hierarchy like so:
Socialise (sitewide activity assigned to this)
– Members (members directory assigned to this)
– Groups (groups directory assigned to this)
– Forums (bbPress forum root assigned to this)I’m running in to some problems as follows (some of which may be theme related and I’m checking in to that with theme developer):
a) Page titles are being overridden – eg. “Socialise” page is replaced with “Sitewide Activity” title.
b) Page hierarchy missing from breadcrumbs – eg. Members page has breadcrubs: Home / Members – should be Home / Socialise / Members
c) When viewing a group, I’m getting a blank page…
I’m using standard WP ‘page’ menu link type, set to Groups to get to my group directory page (which is working fine), the resultant URL /socialise/groups/
But then when I click on a group (either in the groups directory or anything else that provides a link to a group), the individual group page is blank. Example URL: /socialise/groups/test-group/
I have a hunch that it’s the page hierarchy that’s throwing it, in other words I assume BP has hard-coded assumption that all directory pages (such as Groups / Members / etc) are top-level.
I have same sort of problems with Members page if I put it as child page of my Socialise page.
Resetting the pages to be top-level solves the problem but it’s very annoying as I can’t structure the page hierarchy in a meaningful manner. There are some practical reasons why I want to use a page hierarchy, specifically there are plugins such as ‘Content Aware Sidebars’ that I can configure much more succinctly when things are hierarchically structured. In addition, it guarantees that my breadcrumbs will never reflect the desired structure of my site (not that they do anyway – they also seem hard-coded somewhere to assume that key pages are at root level).
For now I can just leave things like Members and Groups as top-level pages, but it would be most appreciated if there was some way to overcome this page hierarchy issue + fix breadcrumbs + not override page titles.

I am working with WordPress 3.9 and BuddyPress 2.0 at http://www.globaltrach.org
When I try to compose a message I get the same error message every time, “There was an error sending that message, please try again.” There is not an autocomplete option for filling in usernames or friends so I think it is not recognizing the usernames I enter.
The only workaround I found for this is to go to someone’s profile and click “Send a Private Message”. This works but requires a LOT more clicking. And if I try to add additional usernames I have the same problem as above.
I changed to a default WordPress Theme to see if this would solve the issue (Twenty Fourteen) but I have the same problem.
I have very little knowledge of php so please be detailed in your response if the solution requires changes to the php files.
When I click on view next to the Registration and Activation pages on the Pages tab in the dashboard for buddypress it reverts the pages to the home page. Any help on this? TIA
I’ve got wp 3.9 and buddypress 2.0 The website is http://www.galleryhop.com
Also, on the components tab I am checking friend connections and private messaging, but they aren’t staying checked and I don’t see a save button anywhere. Am I missing something?
I did some searches first, but have not found much.
Has anyone created a “flag this”, “report user” “report abuse” kind of button thing for buddypress that works and is currently usable?
I have seen things for admins to mark things as spam, but I think we all need a button for other users to click and report – anything from an activity stream post, to a private message, or a user, (media and or blog posts would be a bonus)
I found: http://www.icoder.com/wordpress/buddypress/bp-abuse/
but I doubt it works with any current wp / bp combo, and have no idea if it was even supposed to work in this manner. Since it is not in the official wp plugin depository I am not even going to mess with it.
Certainly someone can put together some code to mix a “like button” kind of code with a “send info to admin” kind of thing.
I think most of us need or will need something like this. I am trying to learn php right now, wish I could help with this!
Any ideas?
Topic: Control group type creation
Hi, I would like to prevent the creation of private or hidden groups, I don’t see such an option in BP at the moment, can this be added? Thanks.
Hello, I am having a critical and urgent issue with my WordPress site. I have s2member working fine with bbpress, but now with buddypress, any user can see posts and topics in restricted forums in two locations:
1) Activity stream
2) Members -> Clicking on a member that has posted in a restricted forum -> Forums -> Clicking on a topic they have started in a restricted forum -> They can see the entire post-I have the latest version of everything
-I have tried the “repair” functions for s2member, Bbpress, and buddypress.Please help!
My website is: http://www.streamersquare.comHi, I am testing BP 2.0, I would like to prevent the creation of private groups by users, is this possible? I don’t see the option in the settings. I am actually surprised by how lite the settings of BuddyPress are. I am wondering how tricky it is to administrate a BuddyPress site, I do not see much option in this area. I didn’t see any admin panel or anything. Am I missing something?
Buddypress 2.0 WP 3.9. Child theme of twentythirteen.
Tried to create a private group, See image for options.

Results in group being created (see image), but options don’t stick and error message “There was an error saving group details, please try again.” gets spit out.

Why, oh why? Is this a bug? Should I create a ticket?
In short: “The basic reason why this isn;t working is because BuddyPress seems to run only on publicly accessible pages and with the proper urls. Since Draft posts have ?page_id=123 like urls, BuddyPress does not set the global variables. Similarly, when Courses are marked private, BuddyPress again does not initialize the global variables.”
What can be done to resolve this?
Here is the discussion:
Kind regards
PS: Thank you for BuddyPress (and v2)!
I’ve been hitting quite a wall trying to solve a problem that perhaps someone else has already found a solution for. I have a moderate knowledge of WordPress and a basic working knowledge of BuddyPress/Commons In A Box. Let me share a bit about my installation, and what I’m trying to do:
ENVIRONMENT: WordPress 3.9 with BuddyPress 2.0 using the cbox Infinity theme
GOAL: To create a collaborative work space where members can contribute project ideas that anyone can view, copy and share.
HOW THIS SHOULD WORK:
Each member will have a workbook to which they can add pages. Each page is devoted to a project idea. Pages should be based on a template containing 5 fields:
1) Category (drop-down selection)
2) Project Name (text field)
3) Project Type (radio buttons)
4) Project Description (text area)
5) Field Notes (text area)- When a user adds a new page, they are given this form/template to enter the data into.
- The page (data) is stored in their personal workbook.
- They have the option of making this page (data) visible to and searchable by other members.
QUESTION:
Is there already a BuddyPress-compatible plug-in available that does this?
If not, is it better to approach this by using:
1) BuddyPress Docs?
Already available, allowing each user can create and either make private or share. I don’t seem to be able to find a way of creating a template doc to make available by default in each user’s area.
2) Pages?
Should I be finding a way to create a template that perhaps leverages the “Advanced Custom Fields” plug-in and somehow making this available to users to copy in their own areas? I’ve installed ACF 4.3.7 and have set up a group of fields for a template, but am having a difficult time understanding how to apply it.

Thanks so much for any suggestions that folks can offer to help steer me in the right direction here.

Hi, is it possible using BuddyPress to create a completely private members area where the only page or content visible will be the login page?
I have been playing around with the plugin a bit and I seem able to still see all/most of the members/content when logged out.
Pointers to ‘how to’ information and personal experience/guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Topic: Help with features
Are these 4 items possible using BuddyPress? If so, are there additional plugins that I should install? I’ve made a good start but am running into walls here. Thanks for your help.
- Search posts by a combination of tags and location. Sort of like the following: https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/publishing?ref=category, but substituting user-defined tags (multiple) for having to choose a single pre-defined category.
- Ability to “follow” an individual. This would give the user an easy way to see updates from people she is following (at least on their personal page, possibly in email updates).
- Ability for people to contact one another when both are interested. Not sure what plug-ins are available, but either the LinkedIn “connect request” model or (maybe even better) the Twitter “mutual follow” model for allowing private messages could work.
- Ability to “follow” a group defined by a search (tags + location).
Topic: add new members to group
Hello
I have installed a buddypress forum plugin to my wordpress site, I want to set up a private/hiden user group for some members using buddypress group. After install buddypress, I am able to create a private group without any problems, but I couldn’t find a way to add members to this group. I have users listed on my main WordPress site. The registration for new users is desabled, because I want have only the admin to add/create new users, however, as the admin, I can’t find anywhere to add the users to the BP group as members.
Please help.

How to have Privacy Settings enabled ?
I am trying this with a multi-user site using latest WordPress 3.9 Beta 3 +BuddyPress 2.0 Beta 1.Basically what I want is the most basic and most important feature of any social net (FB etc) or any social net script ( Elgg, Drupal Commons etc) whenever any user posts a blog or photo or anything he/she should be able to set the post for any of the following :
Public / Friends only/ Myself only
Added advantage will be if “Friends” can be grouped into various entities like co-workers | batchmates | etcThe user should be also able to make his entire profile private / friends only / public etc and be able to delete or make friends only activity stream items as wanted.
Hi all,
BuddyPress version: 1.9.2
Wordpress version: 3.8.1
URL: http://www.grupnest.com
(Must be logged in to view BP features)I have a very angry client at the moment.
The site has been functioning flawlessly for a couple of weeks until the last few days.
When creating a new group, at the second step (Settings) the usual options of “Public/Private” etc do not show. When clicking “Next Step” button you get the WordPress error page of “Are you sure you want to do this?”
Have tried disabling all plugins and still not working so I’ve ruled out a plugin issue.
Hi
I’m trying to figure out how make my site viewable only to FREE members, their level is set via Paid Memberships Pro, they don’t pay at first, they can check out the site and see it first.
It is a meeting/dating site, and i’m using Sweet Date theme 2.6 on WordPress 3.9, BP 1.9.2, can’t at the moment update to 2.0, cause there’s some issues regarding the Sweet Date theme, they’ll be fixed in a couple of days.
I’m new to Buddypress, so please bear with me 🙂
What i need to do is this:
No public or private messaging.
No be-friending.
No commenting on the activity stream/wall on the profile.
No commenting/creating in forums, not closed/private, they must be able to view them.
No commenting on photo or video (haven’t set those two up yet)
I found this piece of code that restrict private messaging, but it just redirects:
http://buddypress.org/support/topic/hiderestrict-access-to-private-messaging/
How i would like the first two things to work out, is when clicked upon, a message pops up or folds down somewhere on the page telling that this is not possible, they need to upgrade, and a link should be shown.
All the best
Carsten
