Hi guys, I have a WordPress theme not developed for buddypress too, so there is the problem. But I would like to keep that theme.
The “styling-alignment” problems with buddypress pages (groups, activity stream, profiles) are in the MOBILE view. From pc/desktop is ok.
Is there a way, or some guide-lines, to configure my theme to work properly from mobile when showing buddypress pages?
Hello
I have buddyPress 2.7.2 installed. I notice that in the profile section it does not have fields to fill other information except name and photo. When I press the edit tab it allows only to change name and there is a tab to change the photo.
I notice that in demos on other wordpress themes that have buddyPress, it shows fields such as Age, Bio. Are these fields deleted?
I am a newbie to WordPress and BuddyPress
The wordpress forum sent me back here.
Thanks for your try, but I think that this was considered a bit backwards. Our members already can log into the site with Facebook credentials, and they see the FB feed on the front page, that is great but the challenge is getting folks to make the switch with comfort, and to update both the website activity posts and the FB page with a given post so that no one feels left out as the transition progresses.
Our goal is to make the website the central hub of all interaction where all posting is best and most efficiently done from within the activity post of Buddypress. (from there it should go out to other social sites, in fact several kinds of sites such as Twitter, Google+, FB and so on- this would help reach those who are stuck in a familiar method of engagement)
So the question remains, has anyone got a good way to post the activity feed (and images) to other sources like Facebook? (other WordPress posts work well with some plugins to create feeds)
Thanks,
Victor

If you install BuddyPress on the main domain you can use the Display Widgets SEO Plus Plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets-seo-plus/ (I’m the developer) to show/hide widgets on specific sections of a site.
Just released version 1.1.0 which includes specific widget logic support for BuddyPress/bbPress, could set the widgets for the BuddyPress parts of the site to NOT load on non-BuddyPress sections, this would stop some ‘bleed through’ of content from BuddyPress to the rest of the site.
That being said, from an SEO perspective (my background is SEO) there are other issues that could leak out to potential Google visitors.
Check this Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=WordPress+Plugin
Note the WordPress Plugin Repository listing (1st result) has six additional indented results (called sitelinks: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/47334?hl=en).
The 6 links for the WordPress Plugin Repository listing are benign, but if there was an adult section of WordPress it could be listed as a sitelink.
From a WordPress perspective there’s also the core WordPress Search functions. The Static Pages that BuddyPress uses for ‘holding’ the BuddyPress specific output can be found via a search. If you have the default BuddyPress setup try using the WordPress Search Form to search for the word “Members”.
This will find your BuddyPress Members Directory Holding Page.
Same result with “Registration”, “Activate” and “Activity”.
It’s difficult to prevent bleed through of different types of WordPress content, so if your client is conservative I’d suggest a sub-domain/other domain to play it safe and manually add interlinking via Text Widgets and Nav Menu Links.

I just updated the Display Widgets SEO Plus Plugin (v1.1.0) which is in the WordPress Plugin repository at Display Widgets SEO Plus Plugin Download.
Can be found under your “WordPress Dashboard” > “Plugins” > “Add New”
Use the Keyword Search facility, search for :
Display Widgets
Display Widgets SEO
Display Widgets SEO Plus

The plugin should be in the top 5 results.
The update includes support for BuddyPress and bbPress specific widget logic.

I’m not sure about integrating fb into the activity feed but you can display the FB page activity in a widget with Custom Facebook Feed, also there are a couple of Social Login plugins to allow FB users to log in to your site using their fb credentials.
Is there a plugin that facilitates the Buddypress activity feed to be directed to our old Facebook feed? The page is fairly large and needs to transition to WordPress, our hope would be to have all new posts auto feed to FB. Please make suggestions if this option is not usable or if there is a good way to do this.
Thank you,
Victor

Have you tried asking on the WordPress forums? the activation email is a feature inherited from their so they might have an idea
Actually I’ve opened an enhancement ticket about this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3025#ticket
I’d still post your question in the bbPress forum, maybe I’m missing something.

This one claims to be able to hide parts of the admin bar
Thank you for your help.
4. I’d like to keep the right part of the Admin bar because it provides notifications and other important user functionalities. The Left part is what I’d like to remove. The WordPress Logo and Site Title give users access to the dashboard. I don’t think that plugin allows for this.
Yes the default operation in BP groups is that you can only invite friends of your BP Profile. You can change this behaviour with Invite Anyone, which gives you the ability to invite your friends to join the site and for you to invite any BP user to the group, not just your friends.
Another plugin that you might like to think about is BP Auto Group Join, with this plugin you can ensure all new site members automatically join a group.
With these two plugins, you can invite your friends to join your site and make sure they all join your group at registration.
For points 1 and 2 you need to ask at the BuddyDev forums as they are not BP issues.
For point 3 you can edit BuddyPress emails in Dashboard>>Emails.
For point 4 there’s some plugins that will hide the admin bar for certain user types, I’ve not tried them but try searching the WordPress plugin repository one I saw that might do the trick is https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-admin-bar/
I installed BuddyPress 2.6.2 in my website https://hustling.net which uses WordPress 4.6.1 and when I try to upload a personal image profile/avatar the following error appears: “There was a problem cropping your image.”
The filename size shouldn’t be a problem since the filename is “image.jpg”. I also checked that GD support is enabled too in PHP 5.6.26
Is there a way to fix this issue? Or can I give a staff member access to maybe see what they can review? I think it must be something with my theme’s javascript or css conflicting, as it works fine in the admin area when editing users.
Hi, i currently have my Buddpress/Wordpress site set to be Private, however, some of the pages were visible even to users awaiting an assigned role. I used the plugin “Buddypress Registration Options”, from that plugin all the buddypress pages except for the Wiki page are hidden.
Is there some way of hiding the Wiki page from users who have not been assigned a role?
As the topic says, I am trying to achieve this capability for group admin without success.
I have the following:
The website is community with branches (85 brancehs) and I use bp groups to handle the branches.
The members register and should be assigned to the branch of their city (using bp registration groups) and the managers of each branch are assigned as group admins.
The members are able to buy tickets to firld trips and other stuff and I need the group admins to be able to see which members from their own branch purchased a ticket to the trip.
Is it possible to create capability to achieve this?
I am using:
wordpress 4.4.2
Buddypress 2.7.2
woocommerce 2.6.7
wc4bp 2.5
wc4bp xprofile checkout manager 1.2.1
Buddypress registration groups
capability manager enhanced
Please help someone…
I see that BP 2.7.3 is due the day before PHP 7.1 GA. Perhaps a fix can be included in this release so there’s no lag between PHP 7.1 GA and BP working on PHP 7.1 – otherwise I assume we’ll be waiting for BP 2.7.4?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.7.3
PHP 7.1 Final is due on December 1st and this issue is still present in the final RC (PHP 7.1 RC6).
It looks like BBPress had a similar issue, which they’ve now fixed… https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2987
