BuddyPress.org

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.

Since you provided very little information, I can only interpret your post from what you have written.

What is the “RSS feed to the newsletter”? Is this just a RSS feed to the main WordPress blog post RSS feed?

I have both BuddyPress and bbPress installed and these plugins do not affect the main blog post RSS feed (example.com/feed/).

BuddyPress does not modify the WordPress blog post RSS feed.

I tested this locally and cannot reproduce the problem. You must have another plugin that is modifying blog post excerpts.

Hi,
I’ve just installed BuddyPress on my WordPress and I’ve also noticed that BuddyPress messes around with my Flexslider by slowing down the loading of the first slide.
I don’t get your explanation to solve this problem. Could you be more precise about it?
Thank you very much your answer.

BuddyPress doesn’t use shortcodes.

Instead, it relies on connecting specific WordPress pages to BuddyPress components.

Read this section for more info:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/#settings-buddypress-pages

If you’re just relying on the basics like username, password and email address, you should be able to look at various WordPress user import plugins:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/user+import/

And then to modify one of them to fit your current database schema. If you’re able to export your data to CSV, then you could probably use one of the available plugins.

However, for avatars, you would need to write a separate script to import them though.

You shouldn’t rely on PHP conditionals for CSS targeting.

Use your browser’s developer console and check the various body CSS classes and then target the ones you want to use in your CSS stylesheet.

Why not use something like?

body.forums .YOUR-SELECTOR {color:red !important;}

If you must use PHP conditionals, use the ones that BuddyPress provides:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.1/src/bp-core/bp-core-template.php#L2034

View the list of functions in that file for all the ones you can use.

Try asking this question on the plugin’s support page:

BuddyMobile

Do you see any debug error messages when you enable WP_DEBUG?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

In wp-config.php, set WP_DEBUG to true, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY to false to prevent error messages showing on your site, and WP_DEBUG_LOG to true so error messages are logged to wp-content/debug.log.

Next, when the activities disappear, check the log and see what it says.

Also, always strip down your install to see if there is a problem with plugins or your theme. For instance, your caching and DB plugins could affect this. Try disabling some plugins to see if the problem persists.

Hi @ulferlingsson

This is very likely to be theme-related. I notice you’re using the Niche theme. Try contacting the theme author to let them know there’s an issue.

I am still facing this issue, even after giving all the permission & uploading an image with a small name.
Using
Buddypress 2.8.2
wordpress 4.7.5
Please provide a resolution to this, I want to have an upload avatar option in the register page.
I am using “Buddypress avatar upload ajax” plugin for this.

bbPress is the only real option for forums.

Depending on what features you need, this may suffice: BuddyPress Simple Events

You can also get it here: PhiloPress – BuddyPress Simple Events

Try this plugin. It hasn’t been updated for 2 years, but it works perfectly for me.

BuddyPress Admin Only Profile Fields

Adds these options to the visibility options: ‘Admin’, ‘Everyone (Admin Editable)’ and ‘Only Me (Admin Editable)’

Hope that helps

Have you tried BP Simple Private ?

You can also get it here: PhiloPress

This plugin should do it. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/

Hey @udarmo

Thanks for the report. Can you open a Trac ticket for this so it can be investigated?
