BuddyPress.org

host via a server other than WordPress

Are you referring to wordpress dot com ?

Both WP and BP are free and can be hosted on any server.
You don’t need the ‘pro’ membership plugin.

@ftg17 Did you check the Profile Settings Option? If not Login to WordPress dashboard using admin account and navigate to Setting >> Buddypress >> Options >> Profile Settings . Mark tick on allow user to upload profile photo. If you did this kindly change to the WordPress default theme and check if now you can update your profile pic.

Use the support forum for that plugin – BP Profile Search.

@whiteeagle1985 The author links that are shown in the post comes from the the function which is defined in the wordpress theme. Every theme has a redefine function to print the author link. The solution can be creating a child theme and redefine the function according to your need. I am not sure which theme you are using.

I understand you now.

You can try this: Link

You can’t do this by default on the front end in BuddyPress. You can of course do this in the WordPress admin area as an administrator.

Note some steps could be missing here but hope this helps with the general direction 🙂

1. Look for “Users” in left sidebar of WordPress wp-admin area
2. Click “Profile Fields” and there should be a box which you might have named “Terms of Use” – NOTE: if you changed the “Name (Primary) (Required)” to your terms of use field, you should change this back as it syncs with the person’s name
3. Click the blue button “Add New Field” and name it “By registering to ThoseCrazyVegans.net, you agree to the <a href="/terms-of-use/">Terms of Use</a>” (the title accepts HTML at least for now)
4. Then, choose “Checkboxes” for the “Type” below it and type “Yes, I agree to the terms of use” and don’t check Default Value
5. You can also choose “requirement” as required
6. Choose “enforce field visibility”
7. Then click update

I use a different method for registering but hope this helps.

If you simply looking to redirect people from 1 url to another, perhaps you could try the Redirection plugin?

@mah184 I do not know how the “wordpress” stuff was supposed to be all gone” as BuddyPress is a plugin for WordPress. If by “Business Plan” you mean WordPress.com’s Business Plan, then please avail of the free support aka ‘real-time concierge support’ provided along with your plan. Aside from which, WordPress.com hosting is an entirely different scenario from a self-hosted solution which we usually help out in these forums, so the best support you’ll get is from WordPress.com. Good luck.

Hi @sarahshaik

Welcome to BuddyPress! You can get BuddyPress plugins from the WordPress repository: https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Take a look here for everything tagged BuddyPress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/buddypress/

This plugin puts a band aid on that issue.

User Menus

Can you ensure that line 207 in bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php matches the following?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.1/src/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php#L207

If it doesn’t, can you let me know what line 207 is on your version of BuddyPress?

There is no BuddyPress “business”.

BuddyPress is what you make of it. Same as WordPress. WordPress provides you with a default theme and basic options, same with BuddyPress.

Finally found a solution.
1) add define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ) in wp-content/config.php
2) network activate buddypress
3) install rmiweb-multisite-avatar. It is a custom plugin for rmi.one website not available on wordpress repository. Can’t remember from where i grabbed it but i’ve uploaded it on my uptobox account => http://uptobox.com/543ii9u4ozoh
4) At first it wasn’t working for me on my subsite because the theme (skywarriorthemes.com/arcane/) had an issue with displaying avatar. But i’ve tried it with other 3rd party themes and wordpress default twenty seventeen and it works like a charm. So make sure that your theme is not creating some conflict too like mine did.
5) If you want to completely disable gravatar: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-user-gravatar/
6) Profit.

Hope that helps.

I use the #1 selling wordpress theme Newspaper by tagdiv, and it’s mainly the User Profile & Registration page that can use some tweaking. Also I wish there was a way or easy way to add more user fields to the Member Directory – like a responsive and sortable table format.

I appreciate the work that is put in to Buddy Press, the versatility of it, and that it’s a free plugin, but I think it is being short-changed by not having a premium version that can make it look ‘prettier’. Not sure who’s in charge of the business operations, but should consider a premium add-on for UI/UX. People really would pay for it. Look at Ultimate Member. Buddy Press has a leg-up on them because you have more scale-ability with all the 3rd party add-ons, better performance, and larger user base.

I have had to paid a php guy to customize it, but I need more customizations. This is the only plugin stopping my site from blowing up. Do any of you BPers do custom work? I’ll pay for any custom work to get the layout moved around on User Profile (https://ibb.co/gNat1v) + sortable table Member Directory.

I’d go with Ultimate Member for looks alone, but it slows the crap out of my site and it doesn’t have some of the BP add-ons I want. If Buddy Press looked like UM or BuddyBoss, but kept the drop down menu user section (like Twitter), I’d be your first paying customer.
