Try these:

Try this: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/disable-leave-group-and-request-membership-buttons/
And try this plugin as well: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-mandatory-groups/

Ajax would be my first thought. Check out the AJAX in Plugins article for an introduction to that:

@slaffik Apologies – I did not see the .htaccess file when I did a ls -l, however it is there:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Do I need to makes changes? Sorry I am not a programmer.

It looks like you’ve tried all the normal investigative things, so thanks.

Not sure without debugging the code — but why does registration on your site take me to http://192.241.173.232/wordpress/register/ ? Totally different URL etc.

I wonder if that has something to do with it.

EDIT: is this your testing still? Do you have two different WordPress sites?

I don’t know how well it works, but I found https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-message-attachment/ from a quick search.

Look in the WordPress codex.

I never used a plugin to accomplish this but there are many out there, just google “wordpress email login”

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-email-login/

Because of no .htaccess file (and no WordPress permalinks) BuddyPress will not be working properly. It requires permalinks enabled. On BuddyPress activation you should see this text:
You must update your permalink structure to something other than the default for it to work.

It is not possible by default but you can use plugins to add this ability into WordPress (and BP also)

There is such setting: http://take.ms/iD38m
It should be checked.

And there is also such ticket in trac: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6482
It will allow comments syncing between activity stream item and posts (so they will appear in both places – very handy). This feature will be included into upcoming (in March) BuddyPress 2.5.

This is a bug in BuddyPress.
Here is a new ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6846

bp_get_activity_content_body – that’s the filter you might need.
See function bp_get_activity_content_body() for details.
General idea (you will need a bit of regexp knowledge):
1) search in activity content for <iframe keyword.
2) if it exists – wrap it with the div you need
3) That’s it. This will be done on a fly for each item in activity directory. This is generally a bad idea, but no other options that I see.

Or you can try a bit different approach, like using Fitvids (see this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/fitvids-for-wordpress/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/dw-fitvids/)

I had same problem during my first go on BuddPree/Wordpress, found problem to be my theme which left no space in members header to show default links for this.

Did what @danbp mentioned and got it fixed with css.

Good luck

Hi,

this will be a custom work on your site admin and concerns principaly wordPress.
Read here how to do add a custom column on user’s list.

Here the function reference you’ll need to use.

Something like this you have to add to bp-custom.php or your child-theme functions.php

function andrea_columns( $output, $column_name, $user_id ) {

/* do something*/

}
add_action( 'manage_users_custom_column', 'andrea_columns', 10, 3 );

Hi,

it’s a message within WordPress, not BuddyPress.
if you want to modify this text, you have to use the WordPress language file. (xx_XX.po in wp-content/languages).

Read here and here how to do that.

You should definitely take a look at this ticket in BP trac – #6592.
It’s all about the future of emails in BuddyPress. Please test and provide your feedback there in a ticket. Thanks a lot!

‘WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘user_id’ in ‘field list’]’

There is no user_id field in bp_xprofile_fields.
The correct table is bp_xprofile_data.

value is a text field, so you need quotes: AND value = '45'";

Instead of AND value !empty"; try AND value != ''";

$wpdb->get_var returns a single value. Try $wpdb->get_col.

Your issues could have been solved by examining the table structure and reading reference docs like https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb.

Created two WordPress sites with buddy press. I am using a Bossbuddy theme and it is just annoying that a register will trigger a 404. This problem is scattered all over the postings. Is there a single source for solving this??

It goes to http://webaddress/register
