Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, what is “afaik”?
>Can you get it to work on just a WordPress site?
It works well without buddypress.
It will not work with BuddyPress, afaik.
Can you get it to work on just a WordPress site?
You can login to your WordPress dashboard using your admin credentials.
Once inside the dashboard, Please visit Network Admin->Settings. There you will see “Registration Settings”.
Select “User accounts may be registered” and that will disable the new blog creation but allow registering new user account.
Hope that helps.
BuddyPress Lock
Please try this plugin to hide members page, you just have to select it in settings. Also for the search we can override the template index.php in child theme then can wrap the search form in the condition if(is_user_logged_in())
Thanks
Hi,
You can create a private BuddyPress network using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-private-buddypress/
Only logged-in members will be able to access the profiles, directories and all.
Thanks
Oh no! you have pasted the code in the wp-config.php file.
This code needs to be pasted in your child theme’s functions.php otherwise you can create the bp-custom.php file in the plugins folder and then have to paste the code there.
Else, you can install the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ and can paste the code there.
Thanks
Yes, this is how it works.
It will need customization to map WordPress fields to BuddyPress xProfile fields.
You can check this plugin https://profilepress.net/downloads/wordpress-buddypress-extended-profile-sync/ as well.
Thanks
Hi,
You have to create a profile field in BuddyPress itself for the biographical info.
BuddyPress do not fetch it from WordPress. When you will create the field users will be able to add edit that from their profile.
Thanks
Hi,

You can remove the condition where it is checking if the user has uploaded avatar or not.
Thanks
Hello,
I am looking for a way that a registered user can upload their avatar on a wordpress page via a shortcode. I can successfully display the form but can not successfully have the image uploaded.
My other idea was to embed the buddypress page into an iframe but this produces a 404 error.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you
I have both Buddypress and bbpress installed. bbpres is using local wordpress avatars that registered users uploaded even before bbpress was installed. I want Buddypress to do the same – use these local avatars instead of its own. I have found this code on bbpress codex and internets:
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true');
I added this code to bp-custom.php, but it`s seems like this code is not working anymore? I really need to make Buddypress to use local avatars just like bbpress do, please help.
Hey! If you were using the Paid Membership Pro Buddypress add on, I’ve found a fix 🙂
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/suggesting-a-patch/#post-10648783
For some reason every member is showing under the ‘friendship requests’ tab on the profile page instead of just people that requested them. Some of the members are still listed as ‘never active’ but show under the request lists. Even brand new members immediately see all of the other members listed under requests w/ the option to accept or reject. Clicking ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ does nothing.
It’s a paid site but I can grant access if someone can help!
Buddypress 3.1.0 latest version
Wordpress 4.9.8
Theme WordPress Twenty Seventeen
Switched to Twenty Fifteen same results.
Using with Paid Membership Pro/Theme My Login
I have the same issue. I am currently using an Avada theme. My user profiles were working perfectly fine. Now they are just showing a blank page. I have tried deleting the buddypress plugin and reinstalling it but that has not helped. I have checked the pages that buddypress creates but these are blank, when viewed through the backend of wordpress. Any help on this problem?
Ok thank you very much which chat is best I use BP Better Messages
On another topic I want to set up a website for entrepreneurs and investors If, like a social network, I need help designing and other recommendations for plugins. I also want to do an appellation. Later, you will join WordPress’s control panel. I installed a Job Board to use the board.
Hi,
Since I activated BuddyPress, I’ve been using the BP profile page instead of the original WordPress one, but the field for “Biograpfical info” has been missing. I can’t find it anywhere in the profile or options and I need it for the authors to be able to edit. As a workaround currently I’m editting them manually from the admin dashboard, but that’s not ideal.
Hi,
so I am new to Buddypress and it seems that all my Activation emails send when a user registers are sent from “WordPress” and not using my site’s name. So the user sees he/she has received an email from WordPress and not the actual sites name. Where can I change these settings?
I have the latest Buddypress and WordPress activated
Thanks in advance 🙂
@bonjarvis – thanks for the update. It is most often the case that the error is caused by code outside of BP – but determining the cause can be tricky. Momentarily deactivating plugins and/or switching themes is a solid first step.
If somebody thinks they have found an actual bug, they can create a ticket here
It won’t let me edit the post: I have fields in the WordPress profiles I’d like to be viewable and editable through the buddypress profile page, but the only way I can see is creating new profile fields which I can’t seem to link to the existing WordPress profile fields. Which means I’d have to manually copy date from the profile to the buddypress profile fields.
What am I missing?
I have the same issue with my profile. This is most likely in violation in EU law. All too often, it requires a legal suit to get things fixed.
I get the suspicion this is a dying project given the major issues with it (my installation was broken upon installation on a fresh-new, non-customized wordpress). It’s either in a phase where they lost the developers that were doing the real work or they are working on consulting gigs to sell commercial services for people who offer to pay to have BuddyPress. I’m not sure which is the case.
I’m disappointed. Even for free software, I expect better. Check the logical quality of your work before you submit a release. It’s not that hard. Computers aren’t magic, they are machines that respond to prescribed conditions. There are core utilities in Linux/UN*X that are basically unchanged in 25 years because they got it right early on and stuck with what worked well. Today’s developers lost track of that.
