@ranajoyc BuddyPress expend the WordPress functionality, it uses the same user tables which are created by regular WordPress installations. WordPress users will always be part of your BuddyPress community.
Hi Will,
Sorry for the post-hijack but I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem that you’ve eluded to;
Are you saying that s2Member will allow users to register using BuddyPress, to join a buddypress group (using https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/) AND a corresponding mailchimp group, all within the same registration process?
If so then I’d like to kiss you – I’ve been looking for a solution to this for months.
Chris.
To clarify: I do not want to overload my current WordPress theme anymore. I just want to use the standard BuddyPress template located in the plugin directory. All natively!
If I delete the folders “/community” or “/members” for example in my WordPress theme directory or delete the functions of BuddyPress in my theme’s functions.php, the website crashes unfortunately.
Thanks!
I truly do thank-you for all of this! It’s pointing me in the right direction for what I want to accomplish. I feel like I just need a better understanding of the infrastructure of WordPress, and how BuddyPress works together with it. And you are right, there are endless amounts of options!I’m just stuck on how i would customize the X theme to how i would want it. I would rather do all of this in the beginning by myself, and hire a developer if need be down the road.
– If the plugin conflicts with the theme how would one go about fixing that?
– How would I begin to customize the CSS of the activity streams for users? Where would most of this customizing be taking place? In other words, how would I add the custom CSS to the site?
These would be huge for me to know
So you want a link to logged in users profiles, clarify where this link should be…in the header?
You should make a child-theme and add some code to a new header.php.
<li><a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain(); ?>" class="profilelink" title="My Profile">Profile</a></li>
You must place this code just before the </nav> code, or at any spot in the header you wish.
Thisprobably means you need to learn how to make a child-theme in wordpress first, very important.
You mean in the public_html/bellmoore/wp-content/plugins/buddypress directory?
“bellmoore” refers to my top level folder for my wordpress instance.
thanks a million.
Steve

In BuddyPress there is a built-in mechanism for synchronizing profile fields from WordPress.
By default, it synchronizes only the “display_name” field, which is not always sufficient.
Here is an example of the code by which you can synchronize any available fields in the WordPress field with the Buddypress fields
function xprofile_sync_bp_profile2( &$errors, $update, &$user ) {
// Bail if profile syncing is disabled.
if ( bp_disable_profile_sync() || ! $update || $errors->get_error_codes() ) {
return;
}
// Querying data from a table "usermeta", first we get the value of the custom field "address" and substitute this value for the "Address" field of the xprofile BuddyPress
$address = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'address', 'true' );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Address', $user->ID, $address );
//Similarly with other fields
$firstname = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'first_name', 'true' );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Name', $user->ID, $firstname );
$lastname = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'last_name', 'true' );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Lastname', $user->ID, $lastname );
$description = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'description', 'true' );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Bio', $user->ID, $description );
// Querying data from a table "user"
xprofile_set_field_data( 'E-mail', $user->ID, $user->user_email );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Site', $user->ID, $user->user_url );
}
add_action( 'user_profile_update_errors', 'xprofile_sync_bp_profile2', 10, 3 );
Unfortunately, the fields are synchronized only when the profile is updated. I do not know how to start mass synchronization 🙁
I hope someone will find this information useful.

Hello there. BuddyPress doesn’t add jQuery to a site (it relies on WordPress to provide jQuery). It looks to me like you’re using a plugin to fetch jQuery from a CDN rather than use the local version that comes with WordPress. Disable your plugins one at a time until the code changes, then you’ll have found the cuplrit.
508 usually means that the hosting provider has put a limit on the resources available to your account. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20040307/how-to-fix-the-508-resource-limit-is-reached-error-in-wordpress. BuddyPress does generally require more resources (RAM, MySQL I/O) than a standard WP installation. I’d suggest reaching out to your hosting provider to ask about the potential of upgrading your service to support the use of BP.
Applying https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11750 should fix the problem. Note that this change is in bp-messages/bp-messages-template.php, *not* notices-loop.php. There should be no need to reapply these changes after BuddyPress 3.0, where the fix will become part of the BP release.
Hi @gregthebuzz – You might have better luck moving some of your logic into BP_Group_Extension, which does most of the template-related work for you. See https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/group-extension-api/. The display() method is where the content for your public-facing tab will go, while the edit parameter will help you configure what you’d like group admins to see under Manage.
I’m unsure how or whether this’ll integrate neatly with https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-extend-groups-fields/. That’s something you’ll probably want to talk to that plugin author about.
Hi @billybelly – It’s difficult for us on the buddypress.org forums to provide concrete advice on a non-free product, because we don’t have access to test it. If you paid for the UX Builder project, then they ought to be the ones providing you with support.
That being said, it’s possible that BP templates are inherently incompatible with this plugin. BP technically uses WP pages like Activity, Register, etc, but it sorta hijacks the page loading process in a way that can make it incompatible with certain kinds of “builder” plugins. If you’re looking to customize the interior portions of a BP page, it’s best to do it either using CSS (which you can access via the Customizer and a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/) or by overriding the templates in a child theme. See https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/#overloading-template-compatibility-theme-files
If you have the user’s ID then you can pass it to the get_userdata() WordPress function like this:
$user_id = 1;
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
Then you can use the $user object like this:
echo sanitize_email( $user->user_email );
Note, how you get the user’s ID will depend on the context. See:
Playing with the user’s ID in different contexts
I have worked out a solution or at least a direction for me to head in. :))
@ripulkr and @boonebgorges gave me the idea of using a MySQL database and the use of tables to store the user’s data and their meta data.
I jumped on the WPdatatables plug-in which allowed me to easily use MySQL queries to the WordPress database (WPDB). I then created a table within the WPDB and created columns for the fields I wanted like height, weight, length. I also have a couple of other columns in the table to associate the record number and the user id.
WPdatatables also has an add-on for Gravity Forms so it was simple for users to fill out a form to submit data direct to the table. I then create a page for the users showing the WPDB table for them to only see their entries. It has a reports and chart feature too. :))
WPdatatables full use of MySQL queries allows me to join tables within the WPDB which makes it nice to be able to match up and show their user data too.
I’m pretty happy with how it works and its potential.
A very high level explanation but would be happy to explain further if needed. :))
The first and simplest step is to use one of the registration captcha plugins from the repo.

I am using WP Mail SMTP to get the mail to send without issues. But it seems to affect this particular email only, I am getting everything else as far as I am aware.
Here are my current active plugins – There is quite a long list.
I do use Autoptimize, so not sure if it’s affecting anything.
One of note, is Social Login, which when logging directs to their site, and redirects back to my site to log the user in via their social network, this is where it falls over and does not send this one email. It manages to send other emails related to the login, but it now gives me an idea to look into the code that sends this social email sign up notification.

Some things to check:
1. Check the timestamps at Dashboard > Activity. Are they off as well?
2. Are in timezone UTC-5 (US Eastern)? Just so we have a better understanding of what’s going on.
3. You say the “server time” is “set correctly”. Can you say more about what this means?
4. Are timestamps for WP content (like posts and comments) correctly displayed?
5. When you look in the database – wp_bp_activity, the date_recorded column – what do the timestamps look like? Are they UTC or in your local timezone?
It’s generally recommend to keep PHP in UTC and to allow WP/BP to do the timezone offsets; see https://weston.ruter.net/2013/04/02/do-not-change-the-default-timezone-from-utc-in-wordpress/ for one account. My guess is that your server time is set to local time, so that things are getting double-adjusted. How this can best be fixed depends on whether only activity items are affected, or if it’s all items on the installation.
After a lot of digging here I found this:
bp_message_notice_delete_link uses wrong action for nonce generation
I made this change in the source code: fix nonce for sitewide notice deletion.
Changed in source code from this file /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/messages/notices-loop.php
<a class="button" href="<?php bp_message_notice_delete_link(); ?>" class="confirm" aria-label="<?php esc_attr_e( "Delete Message", 'buddypress' ); ?>">x</a>
in this
<a class="button" href="<?php bp_message_notice_delete_link(); ?>" class="confirm" title="<?php esc_attr_e( "Delete Message", "buddypress" ); ?>">x</a>
Now I see the delete button and can delete messages, but this goes wrong again after an update from Buddypress.
I would like to receive an advice.
Thanks
ok.. it works again.. Not sure which step fixed it but here is what I did..
In the database area I clicked the Optimize, repair, and reset permission buttons.
In wordpress I cleared off some of the warning notifications I was getting about “Activity Stream” and “User Links” pages not having pages set for them..
I had those removed on purpose btw.
The code to hide the members directory doesn’t work anymore but someone said something about maybe being able to redirect traffic to that page to a password protected or otherwise restricted page.
So.. That should do it if you have the problem I did.. clear the page missing error for user links and activity and run the one click fixes on the database to reset permissions and such.
Thank you for your kind reply @boonebgorges
I have managed to find the solution that triggered the activity too by using the one of the wordpress plugins.
Thanks a lot :))
