put this in your functions.php in your theme

function my_custom_query_filter( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&per_page=10’;
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_custom_query_filter’ );

you just change per_page option as you need…
it’s run for me, you can see here http://blog.uin-malang.ac.id

As @rogercoathup suggested, using a child theme is THE way to go. You’ll find all the info you need to learn how to create one (and why you should) here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

(Watch out… shameless self-promotion coming up )
Once you have your child theme up and running smoothly, may I suggest trying my plugin: Add All Nav Links to BP-Adminbar. The plugin allows you to add pretty much whatever you want to the adminbar, style it to match the overall look and feel of your theme, and even to replace the main theme navigation with your customized adminbar. (It only modifies the adminbar on the main site; sub-blogs remain as they are.) Check it out here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/

Hope this helps!

If you want to modify an existing WP theme for BuddyPress, you can download the BuddyPress template pack plugin and follow the instructions.

If your theme doesn’t support the new WP3 menus (i.e. most of them!), you can create a child theme, and code whatever menu system you like (probably in header.php)

You will need to install the BuddyPress template pack plugin and follow the instructions. There is some code editing that you will need to do to make it fit perfectly.

I have just installed buddypress and it is not working properly, what am I doning wrong. For instance, there are no pages for posting updates like this, creating groups and forums post. What am I supposed to be doing. I installed on top of WordPress 2010 theme and used the compatibility pack… What am I missing. When user log on it does not show the My Account/ Notification menu at all, it still showing the login in /sign up menu strip on top of the page. What am doing wrong. Please help

i ‘ve success change buddypress activity stream default option with multiple option, you just put this in functions.php in your theme.

function blog_posts_by_default( $query_string ) {
global $bp;
if ( !$query_string )
$query_string = ”;
if ( ($bp->current_component == BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG || !$bp->current_component) && !strpos($query_string, ‘type=’)){
if ( strpos( $query_string, ‘action’ ) == 0 )
$query_string .= ‘type=activity_update,new_blog_post,new_blog_comment,new_forum_post&action=activity_update,new_blog_post,new_blog_comment,new_forum_post’;
}
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘blog_posts_by_default’ );

you can see the result here: http://blog.uin-malang.ac.id
i hope it run well in your site..

It’s an interesting and worthy community to build.

I would think perhaps about a few of the background colours the sharpish acid colours can be a bit hard on the eyes and will reduce the contrast between text and background so older eyes may struggle a little. I would remove the text shadow from the default theme on those footer links it just makes them very difficult to read.

default theme, and BP is active.
Thanks, now I’m able to select activity as start page. It was just necessary to create a “dummy” page… to bring this option up!

Thank you very much for your support!

Which theme? Is BP activated and working? Activity appears as option with a BuddyPress theme

@pelleas You must start your own thread for your issues please you have posted to two diffrent and old threads that appear to relate to your issue

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/make-friends-button-does-not-appear/

Seldom do other threads relate exactly to your own issue, and responding to two different posters in one thread is a recipe for confusion and considered bad practice. I also believe you responded to Boone’s question above via a update which further disjoints things as we could be staring at this thread awaiting a response not aware you have actually responded.

For now I suggest continuing in this thread, but for future issues please start a new topic.

A further question: Are you using a custom theme? If you are can you revert to the BP default theme and also disable any third party plugins that are not absolutely necessary for the operation of BP (basically that means any plugins other than BP itself) and then check again whether you see ‘Add Friends’ buttons on members directory listing or profile pages.

Re: “incurred hnla’s dismissal?”
Do not take things personally. @hnla has assisted hundreds of users in this forum and some questions were out of this world compared to your questions.

Re: “Page Not Found” errors
– Change Settings > Permalinks to other than default.
– Activate bp-default theme to check links to BP components. When that works, insatll/create child theme of bp-default theme OR use the BP Template Pack if you want to use WP theme.

Is BP activated and running OK? Which theme are you using?

Also, paste a grab of your wp-admin.settings.reading screen

Too get rid of theme notice, where is says this in style.css

Theme Name: Imbalance
Theme URI: http://www.wpshower.com
Version: 1.18

The ‘Add friend’ button is not to be seen anywhere even in the bp-default theme.

Hey, I’ve just installed BuddyPress and BuddyPress Template Pack on the “Imbalance” theme http://wpshower.com/free-wordpress-themes/imbalance-free-wordpress-theme/ It said the install was successful whilst I was setting it up but still displays “BuddyPress is ready. You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress compatible theme to take advantage of all of the features. We’ve bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes or upgrade your existing WordPress theme.”

The main issue is that after I’ve installed the template package no options are appearing to create a forum or group, the only options coming up in the Buddypress dropdown in the dashboard are; General Settings, Component Setup, Forums Setup, Profile Field Setup and I can’t do anything with any of them except Profile Field. I’m thinking it might be because I don’t know if my ” bbPress tables are in the same database as my WordPress tables”, I don’t seem to be able to work it out.

Really really need help with this, hope someone can!

Thanks

I think @pcwriter‘s code is the way to go – it’s just a question of putting it in the right files according to what you want to block. EG I wanted to block access to member profiles if user is not logged in, but I wanted them to see all the rest of the content on my site. So I copied the following files to my child theme:

members – single – home.php
members – single – member-header.php

Then in home.php I added the “is user logged in” check as shown highlighted here: http://pastebin.com/EyhRuwCq

This stopped the main profile content from appearing if the user is not logged in. You could stop there, but I wanted to remove extra data from the profile header and leave a message to the un-logged in user. So in header-message.php I added the log-in check as highlighted here: http://pastebin.com/mpxbkcCe

This cuts out all content in the header apart from the gravatar, the member name and a polite message. You can see it here: http://www.thebookboard.com/members/bookboard/

I’m not a coder, so I make no guarantees that this will work in all circumstances, but it works for me. Hope it helps others

Avatar upload forms appear in two places. One is registration/register.php, the other is members/single/profile/change-avatar.php. Create a child theme of bp-default (https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) with those two files, and then edit the HTML to your heart’s content.

Technically the superuser/superadmin doesn’t log in to BP but to WP.

Not heard of this happening before, as for debugging, generally that is a case of reducing a setup back down to basics to finding a working state then re-introducing elements checking each time until an issue is replicated; in this instance you might start by disabling plugins one by one and check each time whether the issue still manifests, If you’re using a custom theme it might be wise to drop back to the BP default theme just to ensure that the custom theme plays no part in the problem.

If the issue is unresolvable and you need further assistance please post full details of your setup.

Go to /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page then click on a page, look on the right side to see how the page attributes are set. There should be a pull down of the different templates.

Are you using the default theme, child-theme, or something else?

If your groups and categories have exactly the same name, you could try modifying your group home.php file (groups/single/home.php in the bp-default theme), accessing the group name and using that in a query_posts / have_posts loop

If they have different names, you will have to look at extending your group, adding a parameter to capture the corresponding category id. Again, you would then add a query_posts / have_posts loop and use it your group home.php template.

This page gives some more information on the groups API, and may be of some help: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

It ought to not break. Are you running a custom theme, widget or plugin that might rely on the groups component being active?
