You need to get FTP access to your wordpress folders, go to wp-content/plugins and delete the buddypress directory, you should then be able to reinstall it.
Did you install any sort of anti-spam plugin? Many of them tend to treat university email addresses as spam as it is a common tactic for email spam?
Also, check with your host to see if they are running something like apache spamassassin and see if that’s preventing you from receiving the spam emails. (while typically its used for inbound emails its always good to see). Otherwise, you can also try using a plugin like.
Easy WP SMTP
And setting it up via SMTP to see if that helps any.
I don’t know what you mean by making the full WordPress backend come under BuddyPress, but with BuddyPress your front-end can be expanded to do a host of features that the back-end is typically used for. Even for adding posts?
Of course the admin panel is meant for the administrator to manage their site not everyone should be accessing it.
Greetings. I recently updated to 2.9.3, my first such since installing 2.9.2 a couple of months ago. I’m using the current version of WordPress as well as GeoDirectory which has a BuddyPress Integration plugin, v. 1.2.1, to enable the two to work seamlessly (FYI, I’ve brought this to their attention, too.) I’m using GeoDirectory’s Supreme Directory for theme.
The update occurred only three days ago and it was just last night I noticed the three reviews I had for restaurants disappeared. There hasn’t, to my recollection, been any other updates since other than for one unrelated plugin that I don’t even have activated.
I do have a backup from a few weeks ago, but ended up rewriting the reviews in a matter of minutes since I’m the one who submitted them in the first place. Since this is the first update I’ve done with BuddyPress, it seems as though something erroneously deleted the reviews in the process. I haven’t a clue what else may have caused it otherwise.

Hi @bdwright
Congratulations! for your website. When it comes to reporting a post there is a nifty plugin called WP Report Post. I think It should solve your problem of post reporting. When it comes to moving back end to front end it is quite complex. But a premium plugin from Buddyboss Buddypress user blog is what you want. Kindly check the demo before purchasing
Hey there! I am A developer and I have developed a site just like YouTube and the difference between this and YouTube is ,YouTube is a video community it will be a blogging community I have all things setup and now my question is How to add a report content feature in every post? How to make the full WordPress backend come under buddy press account frontend? That’s it if I get all my answers I think it wouldn’t be a hard task because these are the only two problem I am facing else everything is fine.
I am running the latest Buddypress modules and WordPress.
I am using Buddypress Members Reviews and want to extend it’s Top Members Widget. For this, I want to add in member_type, restrict the recommendations to a certain geographical radius, and bring in some of the user’s profile information.
Has anyone done something similar to this or explored what this would take code wise? I assume it is not good practice to code within the plugin, is this correct? Is there an easy way to encapsulate all this functionality within one module?
Thanks,
Kevin
I set my site up using wordpress.com and not a self hosted version of wordpress. Could that be my issue?
I have a new installation of wordpress and the newest version of the BP plugin. The 6 standard components are active but I can not activate the other components. It allows me to check the box but when I save my changes are not reflected. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
According to this page, it says they should be receiving message that says “Your membership account is awaiting approval by the site administrator….”

rtMedia is a plugin of its own and not a part of a standard WordPres install. Check out their support forum here:
rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
This is a general wordpress feature, to change the number viewed in the list, click on Screen Options at the top of the page, from there you can set the number displayed
It’s the Rtmedia plugin I use which is (for my best knowlegde) part of WordPress
Hi! I would like to sort the newest user in the members widget and the members page by registered date instead of ID. Is this possible? I tried hacking the core file to test and changed ORDER BY u.ID DESC to ORDER BY u.user_registered DESC in class-bp-core-user, but that didn’t seem to do anything. I’m using buddypress for an intranet site and set the wordpress registered date to the hired date of each employee. Now it looks kind of funny, because it shows the dates that they were hired, but its all out of order because its sorting by their database ID instead of the actual date.
Huh. Well, I guess you could probably find URLs like that using some regular expression pattern for
<a href="<url>"><url></a>
and apply it like you did at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32787, but I’m no regex expert, so I can’t help with that.
It would be easier once make_clickable() adds a filter, for sure.
Hi @destac-
Please open a ticket on trac: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
which is a better place to suggest improvements to BuddyPress.
Thanks!

Hi there. If I’m understanding correctly, you’re wanting to modify URLs added to profile fields by your users. The profile fields are analyzed for search links and other links here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php#L326
BP uses the WP function make_clickable() to make links clickable. It doesn’t look like that function is filterable at the moment (there’s a ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32787). I guess you could do something using the filter offered on the forum link you reference, but I’m not sure how you’d know which kind of links to modify (it’s not clear from your question what the goal is).
Hello. I am using RDP LinkedIn login to allow LinkedIn login. This works and successfully adds creates the login with the users data. However all the data gets added to their basic profile. I need the info that is added their fields to be added to the extended profile. Eg I want to take first name and last name from the basic profile and add it my full name extended profile field.
The RDP login plugin has filters/hooks which I can use to tap into the signup process. However what I can’t find is the BuddyPress API info that would tell me how to set an extended field via code. I am looking for some kind of function like:
set_extended_field(‘my_field_name’,$value)
Does such a function exist? Where can I read more about this? Thanks.
Hi eliasgetguineapig
I think you are using theme from Buddyboss. It is a premium product and customization will be supported in their forum. Coming to your question, you can add and remove menu items from Appearance > Menus in the WordPress dashboard.
@richard2001 Could you please elaborate your situation.
To my understanding
1. If you are not receiving email, the probable cause could be with the server hosting. Kindly create an email account with your server hosting and use the same email account in the WordPress. Go to Settings > General to change default email address.
2. Go to Buddypress setting and check if the Notification option is checked.
I tried a different approach – I set the “Site-wide Activity” page as my static home page in Settings>Reading.
Now it is causing a redirect loop when a non-logged in user goes to the homepage (www.charlottemasoneducation.org)
If I set the home page in the above settings back to the “Register” page, it stops the loop.
There seems to have been a ticket about this issue here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4706
I’m not understanding the fix mentioned above and am not certain it is the same exact issue.
How can I fix this redirect problem?
@ngoegan add the following code in your child theme’s function file. It modifies default behavior and redirect user to activity page. Link to the source of code
function bbg_bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to( $redirect_to ) {
if ( bp_is_component_front_page( 'register' ) )
$redirect_to = bp_get_root_domain() . '/activity';
return $redirect_to;
}
add_filter( 'bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to', 'bbg_bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to' );
