@number_6 this is where – like the previous thread – we really need posters to detail their setup first before asking questions.

You are slightly confusing BP with your theme, your theme provides many options and conditions as in this particular instance.

This widget is part of the Custom Community theme and found in their core includes, modifying would require you to copy it out to another safe area, rename it, make mods in order that your changes weren’t overwritten if/when you upgrade the main theme files, so a child theme is called for and your widget copy placed in a new functions.php file in your child theme.

Please don’t troll your own thread and don’t take what @hnla said as an attack towards your intelligence.
It was just a recommendation, not an attack. If your upset about him closing another thread that posed the same questions basically then don’t be. It is common for a forum with threads with duplicate content or support requests to lock duplicate posts. Sometimes duplicates happen by accident if you loose a wifi connection for instance and refresh after you reconnect because sometimes it will post the same topic twice.
For future reference try not to take things to personally as all of the volunteers do the best we can at accommodating the requests.
Have a good day!

Leofitz, WangGuard will check your user base for spammers and delete them.

See https://wordpress.org/plugins/wangguard/

The author says that “WangGuard not only protect your site from sploggers, spam users or unwanted users, WangGuard cleans your database from them. No plugin or service does this, only with WangGuard you will get this feature,” and I believe him. His English may not be too good, but the plugin is really outstanding.

There’s just one consideration for you: In order to have your database cleaned up, you will have to submit far more than 500 queries the first month. Perhaps you can arrange to pay for a month?

Here’s my suggestion to reduce database queries after that. (It worked for me.) Buddypress allows for the customization of User Profiles. Add a couple of questions that require a certain amount of intelligence to answer and make them required. That means the form will not be submitted either to WordPress or to WangGuard if the required fields are not filled out. It’s not fool-proof, but it decreased queries on my very busy site to just a few a day.

Incidentally, I added a question, “How do you plan to participate?” Among the choices offered the user are these:
“I want to increase my online presence.” and
“I want to sell my stuff.”

We don’t need anyone not bright enough to figure out that these replies do not make the user desirable. Now all I need is a script to automatically kick out users who choose these replies. 😉 (As it is, they can be manually deleted if other users report them.)

I don’t know what happens to a group when all the users are unsubscribed, so this may not be precisely what you are looking for. But WangGuard will make your site secure against almost all sploggers. (One registrant passed all tests on our site, and we had to delete manually, but that person must have registered manually too.)

Good luck!

No problem, forget my questions, @mercime ‘s suggestion to take a look at Buddydev’s plugin was right, BuddyBlog works perfect with latest versions, thanks

You’re going to need to get some basic skills especially in the PHP area if working with WP/BP as ther is a need quite often for running up functions – in terms of files to hold that WP provides only one really in themes functions.php, BP provides bp-custom.php that can initiate functions for BP regardless of theme in use.

For the nav question do a quick search for ‘wp nav menu’ you’ll find previous threads, and also make use of the codex to see if any questions are covered there.

Hello.
I’ve installed buddypress and the only error given was that related to bb-config.php location, but i cancelled bp-forums because i don’t need it.
My problem is that i can’t create groups.
I have the groups section, i’ve even installed groups pages plugin and still can’t do it.
On my profile page it showes me group section also but still can’t create groups.
I have other questions related to buddypress but i realy need to get somewhere with this one first.

@jhinzo @hgstephengreenberg
You can try this plugin which also has a premium version with more features. Not sure if it will meet your requirements but you can give it a try. Get it here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

Or try this method if your adventurous which I haven’t tested:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/16223/add-buddypress-profile-menu-item

Peace.

@dmd54 I can understand your frustration with a problematic installation and know that you want help asap. Remember though all who help out in the forums are volunteers from all over the world with different ways of responding to questions posted here. What’s kosher for some may be impudent to others. Moving on…

i have the register page set to my sign up page but nothing appears.

– You mean you created a blank page with title/slug for registration, and then assigned that page to Registration in Settings > BuddyPress > Pages, right?
– What do you mean when you say nothing appears? Is it white screen in front and no source view or do you just see the title Register (or slug you chose) and no registration forms below?
– Are you on MAMP, WAMP, or XAMPP?
– Are you using a custom theme or have you tried using Twenty Twelve theme or the BP Default theme?
– Yes Register page and Activate page are separate because each page has a different function.

@janogu
BuddyPress now has profile privacy built in for individual field visibility. BuddyPress Activity Privacy plugin is great at controlling who see’s individual activity posts. https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp does a decent job of locking down BP pages for logged out visitors. BuddyMobile is great for providing users of mobile devices an app like version of BP. So in conclusion I would say BP privacy has come along way since 2010. It would be nice if more of those features were built into the core in future versions but I am not sure that it would be something the core team would undertake at this point in development. The plugins I mentioned are in the repository with the exception of Private Community For BP in which I provided the GitHub link. Hope this answers your questions. Cheers!

this thread answer my question.
The user can login to any network using username and the password using theirs at main blog.
But, the avatar like mercime said. its only per site. User HAVE TO upload avatar again on each network.

Please help me get this straight in my mind, i need to reduce it to writing before i go find a developer to help.

I need multi-site, multi-network buddypress and wordpress. SINGLE signin point of entery and then multi private networks. Some networks may have top level domain and some maybe “behind” a website hosted on wordpress.

Is this a possible layout?

Thanks

the problem is that the capabilities do not actually exist like they do for bbpress and wordpress maybe you should try to ask your questions after the next devchat. @jjj mentioned that they do want to add them at some point in the future perhaps you can pitch in if you are eager to make it happen.

I have not tested it but you could try @shanebp ‘s solution:

@mulkins2013 activity-permalink page: bp_is_single_activity()

@nanaimomen

It’s easy to display profile fields in the Dashboard.

For example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16485925/extra-profile-field-not-showing-in-wordpress-user-profile/16491050#16491050

Editing the fields on that screen requires additional custom work.
