The first and simplest step is to use one of the registration captcha plugins from the repo.

Hi Guys,
I cant recall when this took place but I have just noticed that i cant upload cover images, when i go to my profile i can upload profile pic, but when i click cover image where the upload icon should be, nothing shows, just a white space.
I have just updated wordpress to the latest version today and also updated BP, so both are on the latest versions.
The theme i am using is Inspirebook, if i change the theme it makes no difference.

Hi all,
BuddyPress version: I just downloaded the zip and have yet to install it. Version 2.9.2
WordPress version: 4.9.1
Website: http://www.avaiya.com
I’m about to install BuddyPress on my site and use it in our membership site. My IT guy mentioned that there’s a feature in BuddyPress that allows members who are logged in, to see how many other members are logged in.
Is there a way to turn this feature off? Such that if when we launch our membership, and let’s say we only have a few members in the beginning, they cannot see that there are only 2 members logged into the site?
Thanks!
sorry please delete, found the answer by changing the wording in google.
in case others needed the answer is found here:

Hi, we purchased buddpress as part of the Woffice bundle.
Wordpress: 4.8
Buddypress: 2.9.2
When first installed, we assigned a member to the role of Keymaster. However, that person has left the company and we would like to switch the keymaster role to another member. Unfortunately, we are having issues with buddpress on the back end cannot assign the second person the role then delete the first Keymaster user.
Is there a simple way to switch the keymaster role over to another user? How would we go about it?
I recently imported 1300 users from a database to WordPress, and currently using Buddypress as a member’s directory for our intranet, the thing is i have to login every user to be able to see them at the members list page.
Is there anyway around? I couldn’t find any option to disable this.
Cheers
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.

WordPress 4.9.1 running Divi theme. Site is https://gobaug.org
Have installed BBPRESS 2.5.14, now trying to install BuddyPress, receiving error below. Reason for installing BuddyPress is I believe it will through more flexible sidebar functions enable better management of the BBPRESS forum.
Error received:
“Could not copy file. buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/twentyfourteen.scss”
As newbie don’t know how to correct this error. Anyone who can help will receive my undying gratitude.
Many thanks for newbie help.

I’m running Buddypress 2.9.2
I’m running WordPress 4.9.1
I’m using the evolv theme
My website is http://communitykennel.com/
I have never used wordpress before and do not have any coding or web design experience. I’m trying to create a website that allows people to swap pets when they’re traveling (free pet boarding). I’m looking for a plugin that would allow users to create a streamlined extended profile to show other people in the network
1.information/photos about their pet
2.information/photos about their yard/fence
3.information/photos
I’ve experimented with BP portfolio but I don’t like how it says “portfolio” on the buddypress menu.
Also, does anyone know how to make the buddypress menu options layout vertically to the left side instead of horizontally under the user’s cover image?
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 :))
Hello,
creating a message for all users works as expected – logged-in users see the message at the top of their screen.
However, when I go to my account – messages > all member notices I can activate or de-active notices from there, this also works but there is no possibility to delete these messages.
Using WordPress 4.9.1 and BuddyPress 2.9.2
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks
Hello,
I would like to know why after login, user get forwarded to a page similar to WordPress dashboard?
If its my website, it should use the theme linked to my website after login to website.
Please provide suggestion to resolve it.
Thanks.
Hi, I am new to wordpress.
I want to edit the register page of buddypress.
My registration should include address and phone number of person.
I tried to edit the page in pages, it is completely empty.
Please let me know :
1) How to edit the page?
2) Any precautions to take during editing plugin page.
3) Do it automatically updates in database fields?
Thanks.
Hello Gorges
And thank you 🙂
In fact, I want to hide these tabs to everyone except for a wordpress role and the super admin
It works (a priori) but do not hesitate to suggest an improvement.
I am not sure of my code!

add_action('wp_head', 'HD_maj_activite');
function HD_maj_activite() {
$bp_loggedin_user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$user_info = get_userdata($bp_loggedin_user_id);
$user_roles = $user_info->roles;
if (is_super_admin() || in_array('membre2', $user_roles))
return ;
$output .= '<style type="text/css">body.activity.directory #activity-friends {display: none;}</style>';
$output .= '<style type="text/css">body.activity.directory #activity-groups {display: none;}</style>';
echo $output; //

Hi there and first sorry for my poor english.
I’m working on a new Learndash videos website. I want to use buddypress for user registrations / management.
Sadly no emails are sent from buddypress.
I installed a email log plugin and see no email sent from buddypress ( other emails are sent ).
I tried to go with WP MAIL SMTP with a costum office365 email, this option doesnt work either. WP Mail SMTP test email work, buddypress registration & notifications don’t.
I also tryed Postman also with smtp & my office 365. Test work & get logged. Registration don’t.
I then tryed to deactivate every single plugin & replace my theme for a default wordpress theme (twentyseventen) this option doesnt work either ( with only buddypress at first, then only buddypress & Postman )
Any idea what i could try? Thx in advance!

I use BuddyBoss wordpress theme and i’m hosted on Likuid Hosting ( likuid.com ). No core files have been updated. Server on linux & apache
You could try using a different plugin for switching the login page. https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/login+page/ The one I’ve seen in use before is Theme My Login. Maybe it will work better with your setup.

Had my site working nice, I let it alone for several months and when I returned I saw there were lots of updates available. I updated everything and now my groups aren’t accepting new messages.
Older groups with material still seem to show previously added material but I need to press the “Load More” button for it to show.
Media is uploading, but text accompanying the image media is lost.
Text posts show when new posts are made, but refresh the page and it is gone.
I’m not sure what to do.. Do you have any ideas? Do you need to see any specific code to check possible problems?

hello for some reason i can’t upload a photo to represent a group on any sub-site …the main blog works …but the “photo” for a group is missing totally on group creation and the “manage” screen…..its all latest version wordpress multi blog is set to true …is this a known bug?
I am aiming to make this a modern fully functional forum website that does offer the same if not more functions then most commercially available alternatives and prove that BBpress is capable of providing everything we need to create a full-fledged forum.
As I am not a programmer I have been cutting and pasting for so long that I now start to get a basic understanding of php, but still only cutting pasting and making minor adjustments.
I am almost ready incorporating all features I need, as soon as that is done I will once again rewrite all code to tidy it up and try to make it into a theme for others to use.
I hope my effort shows those looking for software to make a forum that BBPress is capable and with wordpress in the background potentially better then anything you can buy.

Hello,
there is a big problem with a new feature of WordPress 4.9.
A users wants to change his email address but this must first be confirmed.
He will see the following message:
“There is a pending change of the email to user@sample email.com”
A confirmation link will first be sent to the existing (old) email address.
But if a user no longer has his previous email address (he does not want to change it without reason), he can never confirm this. So the old email address remains active.
Any idea to overcome this?
Thanks.
