Hi thanks for your answer ! I appreciate that.
I have two questions / remarks
1/ I need the name of the group to be dynamic , it won’t be always the same in the different posts- I mean : it can be a button for joining “group horses” in article 1, “group dogs” in article 2 …
that’s why I wanted to use the slug of article (and put the same slug for the group) – But if we use a shortcode (that I think is the best) , I ll just have to add the variable as you said…
2/ the Nonce is not dynamic ??!! It’s always the same for each link ?!
cause when I tried that in single PHP :
<?php echo '<a href=" '.wp_nonce_url( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . '/groupes/' . get_the_slug() '/join') .' ">join group</a>'; ?>
I had a security alert “Are you sure you want to do that ?”
Thanks again for your time.
How would this stop custom profile fields from site A showing up on site B? For example, on one site we have a field where the user puts their annual company revenue. We don’t want this to show on the other site/s. We need other questions. I’ve attached a screen shot.

The site admins have added code or a plugin that requires you to be logged in before you can view the members page. If you are not logged in, you will be sent to the home page.
You should contact the site owners with any other questions.

Hello,
I am currently using a plugin called WP User Frontend Pro to utilize the ability to create nice front end forms. I also liked their Registration and Login/Logout functionality. Basically, I am using their Registration and Login/Logout functionality for the whole site.
I also want to use BuddyPress’s social features.
Can somebody guide me on how to “integrate” the use of BuddyPress to be “underneath” the User Frontend Pro’s registration and login/logout feature?
In other words, I want users to be able to register, login, and logout via the User Frontend Pro plugin and also be able to register, login, and logout to use BuddyPress.
Hope the above questions make sense…Thanks!
Hey @fenixbazaar
Give the guys a shout over at bbPress. They handle forum-related questions.
@dvpl,
please open your own topic if you have an issue. This is an annoucment topic and not intended for support questions.
thank you.
sorry for my dumb questions.
my cover imagens aren’t working ๐ . i tried update but dont change the image.
let me explain, i’m using a wlms theme and not a buddypress theme
this is what i did, first i try tu edit the files functions and cover-image-header from this folder
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default
not work this way.
So finally i WIN !! thanks for u ! hahaha

Hi,
Install:
WP 4.4.2
BP 2.5.1
Issue location:
Profile > Change Photo Profile > Upload
Profile > Change Photo Profile > Take Photo
We have a testing installation with same plugins and theme from production.
1) The tab Take Photo does not load. We are trying to find the difference between both installations but could not find it. Any idea?
2) When we try to crop the avatar, we get the error “There was a problem cropping your profile photo.”
Cover image upload or standard Media upload works just fine, both installations.
Questions:
What it makes the tab be loaded or not? Is there any relation with cropping problem?
Thanks in advance,
Have revisted this interesting query!
Consulted this similar query
and have come up with another possible solution
(so long as the main site has a different theme or child theme to the other sites.)
in functions.php of sub-sites’ themes insert
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_to_specific_page' );
function redirect_to_specific_page() {
if (is_page('Register') && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect( 'http://yourmainsite.dev/register/', 301 );
exit;
}
}
would not work with slug is_page(‘register’}
Hi! I wonder if Buddypress can corrupt Anspress (question answer plugin)? For some reason the red “Ask question” button does not function. Here’s the link:
Lรถsenordsskyddad: Questions
Read at a forum that inactivating Buddypress can solve the problem, but I need Buddypress. Any suggestions? It’s important the user does not need to register to ask questions or see answers and questions.
//Victoria
You can get a profile field value like so:
$child = xprofile_get_field_data( 'child', $user_id );
if ( ! empty( $child ) )
echo $child;
Getting the $user_id and changing the layout are both questions specific to bbPress and best asked on their forums.
Found an outside link where someone is trying to modify the same information that I am.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25485299/how-to-add-placeholder-in-buddypress-registration-how-to-make-field-descriptio
$field_type = bp_xprofile_create_field_type( bp_get_the_profile_field_type() );
$field_type->edit_field_html();
Sounds like I might need to copy and rename the BP_XProfile_Field_Type_Textbox class and put that in my functions.php file. Hopefully I can edit that there.
Hi Paul,
Thank you for responding.
To answer your questions:
* How were you customising your activation emails?
-I was changing lines in the .pot file in PoEdit and generated a new .mo file in order to personalise the activation mail a bit more. (No core files were adjusted or changed)
-I made a change in the buddypress.min.css file
* Is your site sending other emails correctly, or are all emails broken? Can you test to be sure?
I have only sent out activation emails up to this point. To test your question, I have manually added myself as a user and activated the account. Then, I send a confirmation email which it DID send, only the sender was WordPress instead of my site name.
* Are you running WordPress multisite, or regular WordPress?
Regular WP. No multisite
* Do you run any plugins that change wp_mail or affect how emails are delivered? For example, any plugins that send email via Mailchimp, etc?
Not to my knowledge. I am currently running these plugins:
– BuddyPress
– Child Theme Configurator
– Jquery Updater
– Members
– Page Excerpt Widget
– Rating Widget
– User Submitted Posts
All of them were running as well yesterday when it still worked.
Let me know if you need any more info.
Inge.
Hi @shaughnessy119
You should ask this same question over at bbPress. Those guys handle forum-related questions ๐
This can be done by modifying your theme. BuddyPress uses a Template Hierarchy. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask them here ๐

I don’t use the admin bar on my sites. It actually took me a while to discover that’s where all the BP functionality was.
The best option right now is to do it with some templating:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31812132/buddypress-display-notification-and-profile-in-header-instead-of-wp-admin-bar
That guy’s CSS isn’t the best, I’d suggest working on that.
Hello, I need help please.
I have seen many questions similar to this dating back 6 years. lol
But hopefully, someone out there can help me.
What I would like to do is allow members to send private messages to whoever they want in the community except a few Admins.
I am not sure if there is a separate plugin that can do this. It would be easier if there was a profile setting where I as an Admin can turn receiving messages off but I have not seen that option.
Thanks in advance.
I loaded up buddypress on a dev site to test the waters as I have never used it before. I have been trying to find a good tutorial series to create everything from beginning to end and explain everything, but all I could really find are tutorials for installation and configuring. Or maybe I just do not understand enough in order to ask the right questions.
I would like to create a site that my friends and I can upload music, photos, videos, and/or podcasts. categorize and or tag them. I also like to add a “like” button to the media so friends can vote on the best ones in categories and then filter the top rankings ones on their own masonry landing page such as PODCAST – POLITICS. How can I utilize BuddyPress to suit my needs?
Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\create.php
Add a conditional that checks user level at the top.
Or use the do_action hook ( read 2nd answer ) at the top of that file:
do_action( 'bp_before_create_group_page' );
and write a function in your theme/functions.php
Ay, thanks for that link. It certainly asnwers some of my questions!
Earlier I tried taking the selected value and storing it using jQuery.post but I couldn’t figure out how to get a working URL and even if I did, how would the groups list get refreshed?
I figured that BuddyPress has something that already does this. I looked into bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php and saw how the bp_ajax_querystring filter is updated there with information from the browser cookies. And I assume that the directory template is reloaded using this function in the same file : bp_dtheme_object_template_loader()
It’s possible that the value from the select form is already stored but the reason why the template isn’t updating is because this line in ajax.php :
// Locate the object template
locate_template( array( "$object/$object-loop.php" ), true );
can’t locate my custom groups template?
Hey wonky1,
I’m looking to do something similar. I’m currently on VB and want to move to something else. Xenforo looks like a likely candidate, but we want to be able to utilize BuddyPress.
May I ask how you’re running user management, registration and access? Is all of that managed by Xenforo, and WP is just pulling/syncing the data? Or the other way around? Waht are you doing for member profile pages? Combine the buddypress and Xenforo pages, or running two separate ones>
And maybe you can share some details on what you’re using for your bridge.
Lots of questions, but answers would be a big help.
Thanks!

(1) I need to have rich user profiles, which include basic html formatting, as well as member portfolios.
Here’s an example of the type of page I want to create:
http://www.ovcag.org/cgi-bin/DJmbr_showmbr.cgi?T=artist.html&MBR=00006&EC=3&NEXT=Y ยป
I need this for several sites.
(2) I also need to be able to control access to “member only” content on the website, so that members need to log in to access certain pages.
(3) I need to support several classes of membership, and allow users to pay membership fees through a payment gateway such as PayPal.
Can all of these things be done with BuddyPress?
I have a MultiSite. All my sites. BuddyPress is active on one site only – that site I have just created for BuddyPress.
I have just started. Not going well. I did read the documentation. In my site, I have gone as far as the BuddyPress settings only – no blog posts or site pages added beyond Site Directory.
1.) I would like to use Super Socializer for user registration/logins. For simplicity and security. I use it for bbPress and it works great.
– I went to the Registration page to edit. I added the shortcode for Super Socializer register/login. Before and after I added the shortcode: when I hit “view page” I go to the blog/home page. If I hit the Registration Page link anywhere, I go to the blog/home page.
Is there something else to be done? Documentation I read wasn’t helpful.
2). Direct me to more info beyond the intro set-up in Documentation please?
(In general I am clueless – ex. Site Directory? I created a page called Site Directory and associated it with BuddyPress page in the settings. What else am I supposed to do to get something to happen – like a directory?)
VERY SORRY to ask such basic questions that have been answered a million times – I suck at finding answers here.
I would appreciate any input or direction for answers.
Thank you
Issue is whenever user post a comment
@mjc82in Just so we’re clear, when you say “post a comment”, do you mean post a comment in the comment form of a blog post? If so, that could be an issue with a theme which needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest WP and BP versions.
What theme are you using? Have you tried changing to the Twenty Fifteen theme and check if issue is resolved?
I can give access to my site to one of the moderators or developer if it helps.
We will ask for a throw-away (not admin) account should the need arise. But at this stage, it’s looking to be a theme issue, not a BuddyPress bug. So your problem is not resolved by changing the theme, do provide answers to all the questions in the link I gave you so we can see the overall structure of your installation.
@hnla Hi Hugo, thanks for your feedback.
I’ve updated the Stack Exchange question to better reflect what I’m looking to do. I also updated the answer with a second link to the Buddypress codex for those looking to do less specific Buddypress theming. Additionally, I added a disclaimer saying it is not the recommended method. Without any specific mistakes pointed out that’s about the best I can do for now.
As for removing it, I’m sure it will be put on hold soon enough, seems they don’t like Buddypress (third party plugin) questions over there.
Until then the answer solves my question and I can see it being useful for people looking to heavily customize things, I myself have been referring to it constantly. I would have been ecstatic to have found something like it 3 weeks ago when I began working on a buddypress theme.
Of course, my being a noob means that answer will not be perfect. I will however keep it updated as I learn more and if there’s someone willing to better answer it I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only appreciative one.
Apologies for hijacking this thread, wasn’t sure where better to reply.
