hello everyone,
i am using wordpress 3.0.1 and buddypress 1.2.5.2. i have a problem here. when i upload avatars and images it says the images are uploaded, but it is not displaying any images, instead it is only displaying the title of the images, and for avatars it displays as “avatar image” in text. my website url is http://www.nepaliportal.com. can somebody help plss
Hi there i know many of you had this issue due to my searches and reading the topics but i couldnt manage to solve the problem thats why i needed to start this topic.
I updated my permalink structure to “day and name” then got this message :
“If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.”
my htaccess file looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /firstsketches/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /firstsketches/index.php [L]
i uploaded it to the default directory of my wordpress installation.
after i do that it gives me this error:
“403 Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /firstsketches/members/admin/ on this server.”
Now is my question where do i put the htaccess file? if i change the one who was on the server i get the same error. Tried to install a different wordpress, set the htaccess to chmod 777, installed bp manually but it just wont work. Would really be glad if someone could help me cuz bp is exactly what i need.
Thanks for your time

I know how THEY did it, but I would prefer to use a ready-made plugin since I am running WordPress….that would be very convenient. That’s why I asked if anyone knows of a plugin that does this.
I am unable to delete members via the BuddyPress admin bar (I receive the following message: “There was an error deleting bob from the system. Please try again.”). I have to go into the WordPress user admin to delete them. (WordPress 3.0.1 & BP 1.2.5.2). Any ideas? (I’ve tried reverting to the default them and deactivating all plug-ins except for BuddyPress)
get_post_meta( bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id(), ‘thumbnail’, true)
but have a read about this – if you have pull info from a user’s blog post. so to switch, you’ll need to pass in bp_get_activity_item_id() (which is the blog_id)

Welcome Pack
Disclaimer: it’s my plugin, but it does what you want.
Yes , I know about that plugin..
But I don’t have much of a budget ..
so would like to get a code edit option, which would be costless 
Edit: Got a Solution
Under the “Super Admin” menu is an “Options” link, on the options page is a setting called “First Comment Author” – The author of the first comment on a new site., this setting controls the value you see ie. “Mr WordPress”..
Voila Enjoy !!!
Mainly if you want to rename or customise the user table, or share that table between separate WordPress installs, etc.
Same problem also for me. I dont know how to remove hello world
I saw a tip on Internal Configuration Settings, to Set a custom user database table for BuddyPress (and WordPress to use). I am curious– what’s the benefit of this setting?
My question is :
In a multisite environment , when registered user create their own blog the first comment “Hello World” in their blog is by Mr WordPress …
I want to change this Mr WordPress name to something of my choice ….
How can I do this ?
I have just upgraded to latest versions of buddypress and wordpress and my menus have wrapped. They look different but bad in both ie and firefox. See leckhamptononline.co.uk for my problem. Does anyone know how to fix this. I am using the default buddypress theme.
How do I redirect to the wordpress login page and not the buddypress registration page? I want to create all the user accounts myself and prevent random people registering for my site. Thanks!
I have used the Nicer Permalinks for Vietnamese code to force my BuddyPress permalinks to show in Roman characters rather than Thai characters, because BuddyPress does not allow %post_id% in its permalink structure as far as I can tell. The Thai characters which automatically appeared in the permalink on the post page were a problem for my translation plugin (Transposh). Since I have multiple Thai authors on my site, I could not be sure they would always change the peramlink to Roman characters. If they forgot, their post would result in a broken link. So I just substituted random Roman characters for Thai in this script, and wanted to share in case anyone else was having the same problem.
Please note:
1. This is NOT a phonetic transcription of the Thai letters; it is simply a hack to allow my BuddyPress permalinks to automatically display Roman characters because the Thai characters were confusing my translation plugin.
2. I left the Vietnamese characters in the code.
3. To use, simple install the Nicer Permalinks for Vietnamese plugin and copy below code over the existing code in the nicer-permalinks-for-vietnamese/np4v.php page in WordPress’s plugin editor.
Code available at this link: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nicer-permalinks-for-vietnamese-nicer-permalinks-for-thai-in-buddypress?replies=1#post-1628880
Best wishes!
Please make a new post, @ri-kun. This one is two months old and is on a different topic. We’ll reply in the other post, but what I think you need to do is go in and remove everyone from the root blog (they’ll be assigned as a ‘contributor’ or other user role by default). An alternative would be to edit the template so it always skips that item; I’m not sure what the consequence of removing that default user role would be.
Unless you want to run multiple sites (the correct terminology, not “blogs”), you don’t need to run multisite. Regular WordPress will be fine.
There’s no technical difference as to how to structure your site. If you just want your site to look the same on the homepage, but for visitors to dive deeper before they get into “BuddyPress land”, then maybe sticking everything under what appears to be a directory would be best (take a look at the URL for this page, for example. We’re under /community but the main blog isn’t).
I agree it’s the wrong way around. I’m advertising my own plugin here, but what I have done on some sites is use the Welcome Message part of Welcome Pack to send a private message to the new user and to say hello and remind them to complete their profile / picture, etc.
Is this on regular WordPress or on multisites?
Hi people, I hope you guys can help me a little bit, even though the topic is old quite old. Mine BP says exactly the same thing as EZD described. I have to go to gravatar.com etc etc. BUT, I have wordpress.com. This is really bugging me out at the moment so please help!

@rhivanz: If your site running on WordPress MS, you can put BuddyPress in the sub-blog, so all BuddyPress features, including user profiles, put there. About how to make it, can be viewed at https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings
Looking at this codex page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_tag_cloud Is there an easy way to use the taxonomy parameter with this? Don’t know.
All activities are showing up for registered users except for blog comments. I know blog comments are supposed to show up but it’s not working for me. I’ve tested multiple users and roles.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get comments from a blog post to show up in the activity stream the way they are supposed to?
This is all on a localhost install with the latest updates for both WordPress and BuddyPress and I’m using the BP Template Pack plugin.
FWIW, my settings are fine, I’ve also tried the default BP theme and comments I am referencing are all by registered users.
