Hi,
I have installed buddypress on a multiste WP3.8.3 using the Aqua Theme with compatibility pack.
I had to make a few changes with CSS, but otherwise everything is mostly fine. However, i do have a couple of questions/queries?
1. When users select ‘settings’ then ‘Profile’, they are taken to a blank page.
2. When viewing users in the ‘members’ list, there is the option to ‘add friend’. However, when a user views another users profile, there is no option to ‘add friend’ or ‘send message’. When viewing page source, there is <div id=”item-buttons”>, but its blank.
Perhaps these issues are related… can anyone tell me how to fix these issues?
Many thanks
On my installation of buddypress ( version 2.3.2 ) I have a forum. Under the forum topics people’s replies are listed oldest. I want to reverse it so newest comments get displayed at the top of the list.
I have found this post
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8065620/buddypress-forum-how-to-display-latest-posts-first-ordered-by-date-newest
and tied the suggested changes but it’s not working.
Please tell me how I can re-oder topic replies properly
Hopefully this is the right forum, maybe this should have went in creating and extending. I am recreating the member loop, using a JS plugin to improve performance. I am still using the ajax querystring in order to get a complete list of the members. Is there any downside to dropping the members-loop.php file itself (by dropping, I just mean not using, not deleting/obliterating).
Interestingly enough, I notice even though members/index.php is no longer referencing members-loop.php if I click one of the ajax filter tabs on the top, it still runs members-loop.php somehow! Tres interesante!
So basically, my questions are:
a.) Is there a problem w/ not using members-loop.php if my custom code fulfills the same user function?
b.) How in the world is members-loop.php still running when I click the filtering tabs and sort drop down at the top of the directory?
Will try to test extensively myself but would love input from some BP pros (*cough* @mercime, @shanebp, @modemlooper)
current theme is latest u-design with childtheme for css search.php functions.
Any Help appreciated in this. Apparently this is the 4th time the org has attempted a go at buddypress and they end up just uninstalling the whole thing. I just took over as dev and am very familiar with wp but bp is a very different beast. Plus its info/docs are lacking unorganized and outdated.
The site seems to work with bp out the box, everything looks good. Except when comment or reply is pressed then NOTHING happens..well ok the page moves up and down a bit, but no comment form. Change to 2014 theme and works, change to our theme and nothing.
There are so many, I MEAN 100s, of pages about buddypress theme integration/conversion online and many of them are out of date.
One place I read create a folder in current theme called buddypress and add all files from buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress in there and change as needed. Another said we can name the folder community instead of buddypress. One said will not work if not multisite…will not work if in directory….will not work if not mu.
Buddypress there needs to a be an update about this; even on this site there is an article that is out of date about themes and checking for compatibility but there is no update to it.
Questions: What makes a theme BP compatible? I looked at several themes that are and none have buddypress anything anywhere let alone a folder, so what makes theme buddypress compatible.
Is there a way to select a template to use JUST for buddypress? we have a site, been using the same wp site for a while, changing theme is not an option. How do we make it work with our theme?without bp legacy files.
Please help

@imath thank you very much for your attention to my questions and your patience. I did everything you said, but this problem is still exist. Unfortunately, I have no more time to work with my site in that way. And I will wait for BP 2.1. I believe it will solve all these problems. Thanks a lot and good luck!
Hello,
my name is Sara and with a my friend try to start a little businesss with overload budget(
part important is a site online, at this moment have a problem can’t solve ..for this here ).
I use buddypress and have two type (possible plus) Sitter and Parents i want
when Parents login can see only the Sitter
viceversa
when login Sitters can see only the Parents
in my questions at http://wordpress.stackexchange.com a nice people suggest read about members loop here
Members Loop
But a little confuse howto and if any can help..following my ..
thank you ++
Sara
my enviroment is WP 3.9, BP 2.0, GEOmywp, theme SD with child
Very weird. More questions, off the top of my head:
– Logins are generally working correctly, right? Like, the toolbar shows you as logged in?
– Assuming yes, are you seeing the proper admin-related items in the toolbar when logged in? Eg, are you seeing the “+” dropdown for adding new posts, and the Edit Post button when looking at a post? If so, then WP is definitely recognizing you as an Administrator
– Are you running any other plugins that do anything related to the current issue? Such as: a plugin that keeps certain users from accessing the dashboard? Or a plugin that lets you modify roles to have custom capabilities?
Once you get file-level access, it’ll be helpful if you can do a stack trace to get a clearer sense of what’s happening. Let me know if you need help doing that.
Hello,
I installed it and tested it a lot. Till now, there are 2 bugs (latest FF & latest WP):
- Profile > Activity Tag > When you type in an “Update” post the already existing activities at the bottom of the update input appear TWICE (Double) after sending the Update. You see the new post but the other posts are x2 (sorry, I am German :D). If you refresh the page again, everything is fine again until you post an update again.
- I had the “Cubepoint” Plugin installed with the old version – the Link is also in the new profile of the user but when you click on it, the whole structure crashes
2 Questions:
-Will there be the possibility to link the own social accounts? Or better – Will 2.0 come with an integrated possibility of “Login with Social Network” and being able to link the connected account on the profile?
-will there be kinda “Wall” to leave comments or something like that? 🙂
Questions and installations like this are becoming more common, and we have a loose plan on how to include provisions for this into BuddyPress core. Right now, you’ll end up needing a few extra plugins (and a little bit of on the job education) to make both WordPress and BuddyPress play exactly the way you need them to, but rest assured that both WP and BP do have the ability baked in to manipulate where things live and how they work together.
A few plugins to investigate:
- WP Multi Network
- BP Multi Network
They’ll let you have disparate BuddyPress networks rotating around one central user-base and logins. From there, you can see how these plugins work, and tweak your integration to suit your needs.
Also happy to try and guide you further as you need more specific code snippets to solve specific problems.
Wordpress said “100% compatible according to author” prior to installing the update. I’d really rather not repeat myself or be asked dumb questions. Any valuable, productive advice is welcome. I need these bugs fixed or would be happy with instructions on how to install the prior working version of Buddypress and get out of Beta mode. I would not have installed if the author had not said 100% compatible. Need help from others willing to help and not waste time criticizing. Thanks.
I just installed WangGuard today on a new site I’m setting up that’s been getting slammed with several an hour, and it stopped the new faker registrations immediately. Also, I’ve been using Pie Register for a couple years on another site, and that alone has done a great job of keeping most spammer registrations out, so I put it on the new site, too. I didn’t have Akismet or anything on my other site, just Pie Registration and I was pasting a bunch of IP’s and certain words in the Settings > Discussion > Comment Blacklist, and no spam.
Pie Register has the best Captcha I’ve seen in the plugins, but what I really like is you can program random questions that the user has to put the right answer in, and that’s fun. I choose stuff that is relevant to my sites, and amusing. I was really glad it works with BuddyPress!
And I’m not affiliated with either of the above plugins, either, just another site owner who knows what it’s like trying to track down help.
Wordpress version:3.8.1
Buddypress version: 1.9.2
I have searched this forum using google, but didn’t find an answer.
My users got confused by the activity posting and the group creation. Some of them use the former, and others use the latter. I wanted to shutdown the group component of my site totally and allow users to post everything via the activity post form.
So here are my questions:
1. How can I create an activity post manually for an existing user? I figure I can do that by adding rows directly to the database table, but is there an easier way?
2. As said above, I will need to convert previous group contents into activity posts (group description to activity content, group admin as activity poster ). But how do I maintain the order of current activity loop. It’s best to keep them as history activity posts instead of new posts.
Good thing is that I only need to convert group descriptions, so it make things easier. Can someone help?
Please ask specific questions on the appropriate forum:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/live-comment-preview
It’s not BP related, a third party plugin, and we’re not necessarily going to be familiar with it’s setup and configuration, also we have no knowledge of what theme you are using or how that’s setup or where they may have put the comments form code.
Before asking questions of this nature it’s important to understand how theme compatibility in BP functions, reading the docs first would clarify this, it’s why we write them 🙂
Theme Compatibility & Template Files
Calling out the core team of contributors or forum moderators is never likely to work at getting attention. We’re all busy and put as much time into the forums as possible for answering questions. 🙂
The invalid activation bug comes up every so often. Last I knew, we’ve not been able to track down why it sometimes doesn’t work.
@shanebp just wondering, is there an advantage of filtering gettext over a introducing a language file and using Poedit? I was told recently using a language file isn’t a good idea. See here

Hello, this is buddypress support forums here not bbpress ones 🙂
You should ask your questions here : https://bbpress.org/forums/ 🙂
Yes, this is exactly what is happening. I added info to the ticket. Hate it kind of puts my questions on hold since as a newbie to BuddyPress I tend to have them often.
I thought this all would be simple. LOL
When I go to register as a test for the site I never get an email to validate and gain access.
Several questions to follow that:
Do folks who register to the website also have access to WP?
Anyone interesting in doing all this for me?
Yes this link is a dead giveaway that something is wrong with how your site is creating links:
http://www.hout.us/Hout.US/index.php/about/
The /index.php/ does not normally show up in a WordPress site. No .php or .html extensions are normal. WordPress creates a virtual link structure that you assign to it so everything looks pretty. Something is off.
@matthewhout may be correct that you’re on a windows IIS server. I’ve never used one so I wouldn’t really know.
I suggest you contact your web host and ask a few questions:
1. Do you have a working .htaccess file? You can tell them it should be in the root directory, same directory as wp-config.php.
2. Is the server correctly running apache?
Nope, is_page does not work in ajax call. See earlier comment:
Ok, this explains the ajax is_page check not working:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/26472/is-page-conditional-not-working-inside-an-ajax-function
Is that something that can be taken to core developers and asked if we can enhance the filter functionality? As said, it’s a pretty common thing to filter by different users I think.
Thanks for all your help anyway again,
Sascha
Hi there,
I have not found anything for my issue via the query, so if this has already come up once please just point the right direction.
I run a small sports club website (WP 3.9) with some social networking for members (BP 2.0) with a 2012 child theme. Practically everything works fine so far, I enhanced my team-internal forum (bbPress 2.5.3) with BuddyPress to get additional functionality such as e. g. a lot better notification system across the whole site via the activity stream.
However, the site is still very small with currently only 7 members registered. As we use the activity stream to track the site’s new stuff incl. new posts and new forum posts I would like to turn off the comments function within the activity stream (I want the users to comment directly in the post or forum instead). Unfortunately I know nothing about PHP so please give me hint or two 🙂
As this is my first post to your forum (never had any issues or questions so far!), many thanks for your great work, keep it up!
Max
