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.
We use RSS script merge tags in Mailchimp to pull our feed through from our wordpress site each week and automatically send out a newsletter to our subscribers:
https://templates.mailchimp.com/getting-started/merge-tags/rss-merge-tags/
This was working perfectly with a title, image and summary for each post, but when we enabled Buddypress with bbPress, each item on the newsletter would show the full text of the post rather than a summary. Once Buddypress was deactivated, the Mailchimp newsletter was given just the summary again for each post and worked perfectly.
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.

Does wordpress take on themes of the wp site (parent theme) or does it have to use it’s own theme?
Hello great team,
I need contribution of your ideas please. I have a wordpress site that I am designing and I am stuck. I would like to allow/enable all users to be able to publish/create groups under buddypress. I don’t want the “group creation” rights be left just to the admin. I want anyone to create groups.
I would like to do this urgently. Your ideas are needed.
Thank you.
BuddyPress doesn’t use shortcodes.
Instead, it relies on connecting specific WordPress pages to BuddyPress components.

The other website we’ve tested on is using the WPLMS theme. Comment moderating/notifications were working until we activated BuddyPress.
I’m rather new to writing plugins for WordPress, and am trying to fully understand actions, filters and hooks. So forgive me if just need to understand the basics better.
When a user clicks the “Join Group” button, I would like to check if they have a particular user role assigned before they are added to a group. Is there a particular hook that will accomplish this?
I know that “groups_action_join_group” evaluates a join request, and then “groups_join_group” is fired to add the user to the group– I’m just not sure how these two functions work in conjunction with each other. And how would I go about hooking my custom function to this process? If I use “groups_join_group,” it seems that doesn’t fire until after the user has joined.
Thanks,
Hello,
Thank you for your help . I put the debug on, this is the only mistake I noticed today when I had activities that have disappeared :
[31-Aug-2017 16:40:43 UTC] PHP Notice: is_404 was called incorrectly. Conditional query tags do not work before the query is run. Before then, they always return false. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.1.0.) in /var/www/clients/client1/web20/web/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4139
Do you know if this can come from there? What to do ?
Thank you …
Withdrawn, I realized now that the registration page is a WordPress feature, not buddypress
Hello.
User profiles do not show messages, groups, and friends that were created in the past.
There is also a problem with sending messages.
I also miss the past of some groups in the activity stream.
On the site is the latest wordpress and latest buddypress.
Can someone help me?
Thx.
I’m using Buddypress with the Sweetdate theme and the Default Privacy settings don’t seem to work. I’ve changed a default to ‘Friends – Visable to user Friends’ but this didn’t hide the profile from non friends. I asked the Sweetdate support to investigate and they tested this function on the sweetdate theme and a simple WordPress template and it didn’t work for them either. They suggested it was a Buddypress bug and not a Sweetdate theme issue.
This option looks like an option that come with the Simple BuddyPress Profile Privacy plugin. I wondered if this was incorporated in Buddypress by default now?? Should I be installing this plugin?
Can you help solve my problem.
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
Hello, in my new wordpress theme buddypress plugin stop working.
Theme based on FoundationPress and i add:
add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );
but all styles & .js files missing.
Any idea how to fix this?
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.
I’m running WordPress 4.7.5 on XAMPP v3.2.2. Directory C:\xampp\htdocs\WP. I think my installation is in a sub directory as I haven’t delete the localhost “dashboard” yet. Or, inside xampp’s htdocs folder there are folders named ‘dashboard’, ‘xampp’ and ‘wp'(Which i’ve install my wordpress).
I did not upgrade from previous version of WordPress.
Yes, wordpress was functioning perfectly before I’ve decided to install BuddyPress.
I have tried to install buddypress 2.4.5.
And an error appeared after activating the plugin:

I did not modify the core files of the theme and WP in any way.
I’m not sure if I have custom functions in bp-custom.php
I have used a newer version of WordPress (4.8.1) and BuddyPress (2.4.5) = failed (got similar error)
I’ve reinstalled and tried to install BuddyPress (2.5.5) = failed same error
Again, I tried to use BuddyPress (2.9.1) and again failed.
I’m having this dilemma on the site I’m currently building. I use Paid Membership Pro as my membership plugin to register members, and after registration, members are linked to BP as their profile pages.
Now I need to add another group of users, advertisers, to the site. And after advertisers register via a differrent plugin, even though they have their own account / profile from the plugin they register through, these members will also automatically show up in BP, since at backend admin, they are just like other members from Paid Membership Pro, they are all Users. What that also means these advertisers can easily go to any member’s BP profile and private message them, just like any other members from Paid Membership Pro.
Some plugin author suggested I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ to use user role to set restriction to a certain role’s access to BP. But I did not see any option there to block these advertisers’ role’s access to buddypress.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? Thank you.
I want to moderate and receive notifications for comments. I have the appropriate options turned on in my WordPress Discussion Settings but the comments just post automatically as if there’s no moderation. Also comment/moderation notifications are not being sent. I tested whether emails are being sent from the website and the test notification emails are able to go through.
I turned off all the plugins I could to see if it was another plugin’s issue – the only one I didn’t turn off was BuddyPress (since it’s a part of the theme). The comments were still bypassing moderation and notifications.
We activated BuddyPress on another website whose comments/moderation was working to see if the BuddyPress plugin would break it. And it did break – all of a sudden the comments bypassed moderation and notifications.
Since commenting is so integral to WordPress I was surprised that I was having this issue. Do you know if there’s something specific that I could check within the BuddyPress plugin?
