    Hello all. I have simple questions regarding the OOB BP installation with respect to users registering for the first time on my site. I just can’t seem to find what I’m looking for, so please don’t think I haven’t done my due diligence. I’ve finally “inferred” through no “overt” statements that BP users are indeed WP users.

    Here are my questions, with some prefacing information:

    Wordpress requires “x” parameters (or information) when a user registers for your WP site.
    BP, out of the box, only has “Name” has a required parameter under “Extended Profile Fields”.

    When a user registers for the first time on my WordPress site, what actual information will they be required to enter? For example:

    1. Will I need to create custom fields that include the required information for a regular WordPress user? Or does BP include that already, and it’s just not listed there?

    2. If it’s listed there, can anyone point me to any moderate to full documentation on front-end or back-end documentation on how users and user roles and such work? I can work with either. I’m not all that worried about database schemas, but I can infer the front end information from it. I’d just really like to find a place that can give me a full wiki of information, rather than having to jump from the codex to here, and not be able to find what I need, then go to buddydev.com and not find what I need there, then search in google.

    Much appreciated in advance.

    Thanks all!

    Michelle

    Might be harmless, but I was checking some questions I asked and noticed that instead of my user name it said, Deleted User instead of B1gft. In the login box, it shows my user name. Just curious?

    @tank2012 these questions are a little general, have you read through the BP codex ? Read through the beginners guides first as they will answer some questions.
    https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/

    Basic things like starting forum topics, registering really require having a little play around with the install before you let lose live. Registering is a WP function and initially you need to enable it in the WP general settings then the BP page will work at /register/ or whatever you titled the empty page.

    Forums have to be enabled in the BP settings and then you can add them to groups or run as a sitewide one – again have a play around first to see how these things work then post back in a new thread if you have specific issues and problems.

    Lastly bear in mind that TastyKitchen woulld have taken a while to get to the stage you see so be prepared for a little work getting there.

    1. Alternative to BP Album –> BP Gallery plugin, a premium plugin, handles images, audio and video for individual and group galleries.

    2. Set group forums as default homepage for groups –> http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/44863/whats-the-easiest-way-to-change-the-default-landing-page-for-buddypress-groups

    First of all, I love BuddyPress. It suits my site and needs perfectly. I have integrated it into my custom theme and all is working great accept for the following:

    Firstly,

    When trying to post a status update on the activity tab, it works fine, however when putting a comment to an update, it simply goes to a “Page Not Found” page.

    Secondly,

    On the Homepage of my site, http://nationalgamingleague.com.au/main/, there are two widget sidebars. Now when you view a BuddyPress Profile, Activity, Messages and Friends tab, the contents from the left widget are below. I need to get rid of this on these pages. Please note that the widget does not appear on the “Members” list page.

    I ran the BuddyPress template conversion plugin and this is how things ended up.

    My website address is http://nationalgamingleague.com.au/main/ and is still currently being completed, but is due to be released to the public in the next 36hrs.

    Here are the answers to the required support questions:

    5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.

    Yes it was all working fine.

    6. Which version of BP are you running?

    1.5.5

    7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?

    No

    8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?

    Simple Email Ticket Support System
    Wordpress Database Backup
    WordPress Importer
    WP-PageNavi
    WP Premium Members
    WP Pro Ad System

    9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?

    Customized

    10. Have you modified the core files in any way?

    No

    11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?

    No

    12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?

    N/A

    13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.

    N/A

    14. Which company provides your hosting?

    I hope I have supplied everything that is needed to help fix this.

    Put this
    define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”,”profile”);

    in your bp-custom file
    https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

    Search is broken.
    I believe the fix is ‘coming soon’ as part of a larger site update.
    It will be nice when search is working.
    Yours were frequent questions.

    ok, 2 questions actually.. how the heck do I search the forums for answers so I don’t have to post if this has been answered before ?

    And more importantly! Every user that signs up to my page receives an email with an activation key, but when they try to activate their account, they get an error message saying “Invalid activation key”

    what is happening and how can I fix it???

    On the last link, I’ve selected a piece of code, but it says “put it in /plugins/bp-custom.php”
    Does that mean create a new php page with the name bp-custom.php and place in just in the “plugins” folder, or should it be in a subdirectory somewhere of that folder?
    Thanks and my apologies for my ignorance of this.

    Hi
    I have the latest version of BP and I’m using the Default theme.
    My questions are:
    1. Where are the default theme files – I can’t see them in my cpanel, therefore I can’t make the files shown in wp admin writable.
    2. How do I redirect a member after login to his profile page instead of the Welcome page?
    Many thanks for any help and suggestions :)

    I’ll leave the Ajax question to someone else who actually understands ajax stuff.

    2. Would it be possible to make a app that notifies you when someone mentions you, comments on your status, ect kinda like facebooks app i have a andromo app going

    Native mobile apps are entirely possible to do — but will require some heavy development work. BuddyPress wasn’t built with mobile apps in mind as it started before the “mobile craze” went off. So, it really depends on your definition of possible. :)

    If your happy with a Web App though, their are afew plugins, such as @modemloopers BP Mobile https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-mobile/

    Running.
    Latest WordPress
    Latest BuddyPress
    Latest bbPress
    Latest S2member Pro

    So What Im attempting to do is:
    allow a guest to resister, as a free user, and fill out a profile questionair. Here is the optimum procedure.

    1. Click on free registration, Subscriber Level.
    2. Brings me to BuddyPress Registration Page.
    3. Fill Out Form with Basic Info.
    4. User gets activation email
    5. User Activates via email link.
    6. User gets brought to webpage to confirm and logs on.
    7. User then gets redirected to Advanced Profile Options.
    8. User completes it and fills out all available info, updates it.
    9. Done, or upgrades to Paid Membership via S2member.

    Here’s the Questions.
    1. Can I control what fields are visible during registration?
    2. Can I control when certain Profile fields are displayed in the Profile Section?
    3. Can I control when certain Profile Group Fields are displayed?

    Sorry for the Newb questions, cause yes i’m a Newb. Currently self teaching PHP and SQL.

    Let me know what you guys think.

    @mercime What does avatars have to do with my previous topic? Don’t lock or close topics until they are resolved please. If you think I am being impolite then you misunderstood me. If there is no real support here then what is the point of having a forum. It doesn’t take that much effort to say ” I don’t know, but I will try to find someone who does know.” I understand it is open source. Its questions like mine that eventually get answered that will improve the forums. Once I have this info, I will share it with other users, and then those users can share with another and another. That is how things get resolved. I don’t see how asking core developers for help is negative. They know this software more than anyone. I actually think that speaks highly of them that we rely on their guidance. Well I just had to explain, and apologize if anyone misunderstood my intentions.
    Without further ado, Here is my previous topic:
    How can I filter the activity in the activity-loop.php so it will show your own activity and just your friends? The code I posted below filters the activity to only your friends but does not display your own. What can I do?

    I noticed each user “profile” i create has their own url,,, but i cant seem to find the profile page in the back end. Where & how do i “edit” each profile “page”? so i can embed a unique analytic code that displays in the body to each “profile page”.

    Folks it’s very bad forum nettiquette to post in existing threads with ones own issues as things rapidly become confusing trying to respond to multiple questions in that same thread – even if original question ‘appears’ closely relate to ones own.

    You need to create a new topics please.

    Have you read and followed the advice / instructions in this thread?

    Disabled all plugins? All the same instruction applies please follow those before posting so we know if those aspects have been ruled out.

    When you have done that and issue continues please create a new thread and mention first that you have disabled all plugins and reverted to default theme to test and issue persists.

    Also if you are running any caching plugins please disable those first before any other tests and see if that clears things up.

    Closing this thread as it’s run it’s course.
