BuddyPress.org

Regardless of how you added the users, if you chose to not have emails sent, you need find a WordPress plugin that will do this for you (if any exist — resending emails is a bit niche).

If you added them through BuddyPress on the front-end, emails should have been sent out. I’d start investigating the mail configuration on your server to check it is correctly set up to deliver email.

Best request so far on this forum and surprised you reopened this thread. Buddypress, bbPress, and WordPress are so easily close the threads before anything is even discussed and easily just assumes its better to go to a theme author to implement it when it not the theme author that works on this plugin at all. Theme Authors are 3rd party. So it is better for this plugin to do the styling.

Yeah I’m not aware of any that integrate with Buddypress, all of them seem to be their own variants on WordPress.

Maybe you could ask on the WordPress Forums? This is more a wordpress issue than Buddypress.

Think you need to raise this with the plugin forum

Do you mean BuddyPress users accessing the main WP site? BuddyPress users and WordPress users are the same, perhaps with different roles and capabilities but they all live in the users table. So two-way access shouldn’t be a problem.

If you feel multisite is the way to go, then I’d suggest you set up a test install first to try it out. Creating a network will add lots of new tables to your install and rolling back won’t be easy.

Your theme not being suitable for standard pages isn’t reason enough to use multisite. It might solve your problem but it is kind of like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Have a read of this article, it will give you some things to think about before you go down the multisite path.

Please ask your question on the plugin’s support forum. The plugin author should be able to help.

This article may be of help to you to change that text http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/make-your-wordpress-site-buddypress-ready/

Or you can use this one too with a plugin: https://webdevstudios.com/2015/06/02/creating-custom-templates-for-buddypress/

Hi @urtu-learning

Try using this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonimo-simple-redirect/

No. that php tag will need to be at the bottom of the content templates eg: index.php page.php if it’s not there. Depending on the theme you might have a few different templates. There is a hierarchy of which gets loaded first: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/

So are you saying that with all the plugins except BP deactivated, running the a default (twentyxx) theme, you are still seeing the issue?

You can do that using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/

Each subsite becomes it’s own separate BuddyPress network.

Similar answer to this topic. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/user-fields/

This plugin mentioned, with a bit of tweaking, can do exactly what you are talking about: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

You can control this somewhat with this plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

Underneath each profile field, you just need to explain the square brackets thing. Example:

Connections Profile Field:

Use this field to share other interests you think may be of interest to the community. Words or phrases in your profile can be linked to the profiles of other members that contain the same phrases. To specify which words or phrases should be linked, add square brackets: e.g. “I enjoy [BMX] bikes and [ballet]. I play [guitar].” If you do not specify anything, phrases will be chosen automatically.

You can set the page users are taken to when they log in quite easily with a plugin such as Theme My Login.

Possibly. Try searching the Plugin Directory.

BuddyPress uses a Template Hierarchy, just as WordPress does. If you have a copy of activate.php in your theme, BuddyPress will look for it and load that in place of the core template file. See the article for more info.

BuddyPress was released in 2009. Custom Post Types were introduced into WordPress in mid-June 2010 so there was no way the original BuddyPress crew could have used them.

Also, the use of custom tables isn’t always a bad thing. If the situation calls for them after careful consideration then you should use them.

In the case of BP, the database schema is sound, queries are optimised and everything is generally done “the WordPress way”. Personally, I don’t think of BP tables as “custom”. I think of them as an extended set of WordPress tables that get activated if you want social features with WordPress.
