You can’t copy and paste WordPress unfortunately. You’ll need to set up a database and upload the core files then run an install script. Check with your hosting company as a 1-click install might be available.
I think this should be a question for the core team. You should post it on Trac:

I am using a wordpress theme – called WOffice.. Should I contact them?
Don’t forget activity comments are different to WordPress post comments so you’ll need to find the right action for those to work.
thats becuase oEmbed is now inbuilt in wp core…this might help https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-embeds/
using this in my bp setup https://wordpress.org/plugins/wise-chat/ and works very well
if you want p2p individual chat like FB then you need to buy the pro version which is $49
This is a great chat plugin and very facebook-ish, although no video, but chat has multichat function etc.

I would like to give suggestions, if buddypress team should be given backend options like select content type (1)HTML email (2)Plain text
because buddypress have not given any hook for changes content type text

The page you linked to describes how to add a web notification. The example on that page hooks to the bp_activity_sent_mention_email action which means every time bp_activity_sent_mention_email is executed, a web notification will be sent. In your case, you’d still use bp_notifications_add_notification() to send the notification but you will want to send a notification to a particular member only if a friend of that member has a birthday.
The wp_schedule_event() function might be helpful to you: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_schedule_event
If you’re already using WordPress then BuddyPress might be a good option because of how tightly integrated the two are. BuddyPress is just a plugin so to get started you simply have to activate it from your WordPress dashboard.
My advice would be to set up a test install and give BuddyPress a try. You’ll then get a feel for if it will meet your exact requirements. Lastly, if BuddyPress core doesn’t have the functionality you need, then you’ll find many plugins in the Plugin Directory written specifically for BuddyPress. Taking a quick look at your requirements, one that you may want to check out is BuddyPress Follow.
WordPress 4.5.1
BuddyPress 2.5.1
Geodirectory framework and Geodirectory’s Modern theme.
Buddypress mails get sent but only using the plain text version. I have modified one of the templates with different wording for HTML and plain text, and no matter what, the system always send the plain text version, so it seems like some part of the system is deciding to just take such version.
My WordPress instance doesn’t have (and very likely won’t have) a local SMTP server so I’m using “Easy WP SMTP” to communicate with Google servers. I also use BP Registration Options to get account validations.
Hi,
read here please: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-registration-without-username/
Other solutions (untested):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/smart-wp-login/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/ppress/
There maybe other plugins.
If you don’t have a good php experience, i would recommand you to not alter this sensible WP core part in any way.

Hi,
In the privacy options on the group creation page, I’d like to have the private and hidden group options taken out, as I only want users to have their posts public. How would I go about doing this?

I’m on WordPress version 4.5.1 and BuddyPress version 2.5.2
You can try BuddyPress Private Messages for Friends Only
Note:This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 5 years
I agree that there should be some indication or disabling when the button is clicked.
You can open an enhancement ticket here – use the same user & pw you use for these forums.
There is a plugin that will disable the button when sending public and private messages.
You can get it here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-message-ux/

Hi lekins101
This doesn’t answer your question but you might want to consider using BP Profile Search. I’ve used it in the past and it was pretty good at finding users.
Thanks… I wanted the translations to happen all over the website apart from wordpress… I just used the Real-Time Find and Replace Plugin from the wordpress.org repository.
Ok, – I tried the plugging.
I does send the correct mails etc. but it doesn’t actually work.
The flow is: New user registres – admin gets a notification email and can approve og disapprove new user. – new user gets mail saying that he/she has been approved. So far so good.
BUT
When you check users in buddy press theres no new user added and one STILL waiting for approvement.
And when the new user that got the mail that he/she was approved tries to log in the user gets a ” you have not been approved yet “….
So, – I looks like the plugging is not really working with the latest version of wordpress or….
It’s not an issue, but how it works actually.
Read about date selector on Trac, and if you have some opinion or idea, feel free to participate to the discussion. Old and long thread, but still in debate ! 😉
