Excuse me. I meant that it did not create the tables in the existing database. I use shared hosting from Hostgator and installed the plugin from the wordpress plugins page. I installed it to another site the same way and it created the tables with no problem.
BuddyPress doesn’t create a database. It only add it’s own tables to the existing WordPress db.
Why are these tables not created ? Impossible to say without more details about your server configuration and more information about how, what and where you tried to install the plugin.
I have installed buddy press on a couple of my wordpress sites. However, on one, it did not create a database for it. What did I do wrong?
Yes, I have tried to create an error, and the code is not even appearing in the page source. What could be causing it not to appear there?
I have deactivated all plugins, and I also tried to get the “success/error” message to show up on some of the popular themes (Twenty Sixteen and Twenty Fifteen). It is still not working, and I have no idea why.
Since this issue started when I updated BuddyPress and WordPress, I think the problem is rooted in one of the two.
Can you please tell me which file is responsible for the “bp-template-notice” functionality?
& Where can I find it?
Thank you.

Hi,
I would out the Private Message Button in a WordPress Page that I use as Dashboard for the members of my website.
I would be able to create a Shortcode to Add the “Private Message” Button to the make to make any member able to send me a Private Message directly to me (only to me from the Dashboard).
1 – The first problem that I have is that I don’t know how to make the button to make eveyrbody able to contact me.
2 – I would use it like a shortcode to insert it everywhere it is necessary.
Please, how can I do it?
I really need support to do it.
Kind regards

Hi @mthant,
sorry for your menu trouble, but it seems to me, after visiting your site, that you omitted some important settings steps. So let’s try to set up properly your site menu before adding BP related conditionnals.
1) Each active BP component should have his unique page.
2) Site should have pretty permalinks activated (whatever option but default)
For example step 1 indicate that your register page is at /site/register-2. This could be correct, but tells that you created a page called register first, than removed it, and finally recreated a second “register” page. This explains why you have “-2” in the URL and probably a page in the trash. You have to clear it definetly. And you have to ensure that the slug is /register/. Go to dashboard > Pages > Quick edit and correct it.
As BP is active, you should also have a page called by default “members”. His default url should be http://7fc.d70.myftpupload.com/members/.
I assume you renamed it to “directory”. Problemen is that “directory” doesn’t show the member directory, or no message telling visitors they have to log in to see this page…
And as you use a lot of different directories, it is confusing, even for you when you try to build a menu.
But you’re using Salutation, which is a premium theme and i can’t help you further to set it up correctly.
But you could activate a Twenty theme for the time you need to create and test how WP menus are created and displayed. And perhaps read through Salutation documentation too. 😉
Here’s BP guide about the BP menu you can add aside the site main menu.
And here, the access to any menu related codex articles.
If you are a newbie you might like to check out my website – http//:buddyuser.com, it’s aimed at getting newbies up to speed.
Regarding your issue with menus, is this not a more general WordPress/Theme issue? What happens when you replace those BuddyPress Options with other options, do you still get the same behaviour?
thank you for sharing @peterspliid, but it would also be usefull for the devs that you add your fix to this ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7349
so at least it will be taken in consideration.
It’s related to your theme. Test it is the case by activating a Twenty theme. Once you have found that it is indeed this, go to your theme documentation or support and see how to remove the comment template in your-theme/page.php or how to deactivate that if you use a framework or a very customizable theme.
This should normally be done via a child theme.
You’re wrong and it is not a BP question.
If you’re not comfortable with coding, i would at your place use a working plugin instead of trying to customize something i don’t completely understand.
There is a similar one called Compliments (and up to date). Will be easier (perhaps) to adapt or even use as is for your needs ? 😉
I’m using an older gifts plugin with buddypress to allow users to send gifts to each other. I’m currently trying to make it so if you’re logged in, you can see all the gifts you’ve been gifted, while if I go to someone’s page, I will only see the gifts I gifted them.
I’ve pasted my code below. Logically to me this makes sense; each <li> is a different gift from a user. I am trying to make it so if the returned result has the same id as the current user, display that <li>. I am beginning to think I am on the wrong file (before anyone says not to edit plugin files, this plugin has deprecated 2 years already).
Any idea?
<?php
global $wpdb;
global $bp;
$cur_user = $bp->loggedin_user->id;
$profile_user = $bp->displayed_user->id;
$result = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM wp_bp_activity WHERE item_id=" . $profile_user . " AND component='gifts'");
?>
<ul id="activity-stream" class="activity-list item-list" style="list-style-type: none;">
<?php //loop through ID's
foreach ($result as $results) { ?>
<?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>
<?php if ( $results->user_id == $cur_user ) { ?>
<li class="<?php bp_activity_css_class(); ?> message" id="activity-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>">...</li>
<?php } //end if
endwhile;
} //end foreach
?>
</ul>
Running WordPress 4.6.1
Running BuddyPress 2.7.2
I have inherited the site byoguild.com
I am having trouble editing the pages in it. I am not sure of how to edit the [bbp-register] element.
View post on imgur.com
That is the register page
View post on imgur.com
That is how it looks.
I have found in the database the names of the races in the drop down box but have yet to find somewhere where it has the actual pagelayout
Any help would be greatly appreciated
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’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.
