Hi,
I don’t understand the logic of requiring an email/username (text) field in Signup form, which will be shown near the default WordPress signup fields (including both email and username).
For a good UX sign up, I would require only a social login or email + password. I have dozens of BP xFields so the user should go and edit them after signup anyways.
Can you please share some best practices to avoid unnecessary requirements for signup?
I tried to disable bp signup form completely but I haven’t found the plugin folder.
WordPress 6.2.2
BuddyPress Version 11.2.0
Theme is Ocean WP
I have WP mail SMTP set up and working( I see test emails and get status emails from the site)
there is an invite new users email template available but when I send invite emails via
https://diceandmeeples.com/members/%5Busername}/invitations/ I see the invitation successful message but no Email arrives. I also have Email Log active however it does not register any emails.
Any ideas?
Running WordPress 6.2.2. I have been trying to use BuddyPress version 11.2.0.I have been attempting to use the BuddyX theme. No custom modifications
Saving settings gives a “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page” message.
Trying to set to Nouveau won’t save. It just keeps going back to Legacy. Totally not working anymore.
Troubleshooting attempts included shutting down other plugins, turning on registration of new users and sites, deleting table data in phpMvAdmin, etc. Tried deleting the subsite and recreating it. tried switching up themes. Tried clearing the cache. All work using Superadmin accounts.
The rest of the multisite is working fine.
No luck. Am I missing something that keeps it hopelessly broken, no matter how many times I try to wipe it and try again?
Backstory: On a multisite. Past experiments with Buddypress on this multisite. Problems emerged during attempts to set up a new site in the multisite using Buddypress.

A big thank you to the contributors of BuddyPress 11.2.0! Your hard work is greatly appreciated. This maintenance release, which is now immediately available, addresses 6 bugs and brings improvements to the plugin. To learn more about the specific changes, please refer to the release notes for version 11.2.0. You can update to BuddyPress 11.2.0 directly from your WordPress Dashboard or by downloading it from the WordPress.org plugin repository. Thank you again to mystichrome, dave.pullig, r-a-y, armaanfromatg, boonebgorges, and imath for their valuable contributions to this release.
What you have to do is to the WordPress.org PolyGlott translation web site:
https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/de/formal/wp-plugins/buddypress/
Get familiar with the translation system there (you can also download and upload files)
and after proposing about say a hundred translations,
join the WordPress DE Slack and in the #polyglots channel,
and kindly ask to become a PTE (Plugin Translation Editor) for BuddyPress.
I did this now and reviewed and translated all over 1000 missing or bad German translations!
If the informal “Du” (not the formal “Sie”) translation is enough for you,
let your WordPress installation download the latest translations by setting the global
Language in Settings > General > Language to “German”.
Otherwise, WordPress may also download my new translations automatically,
at least when you update the Plugin or switch the language.
The German translation I completed now is not yet perfect and 100% consitant,
so I am looking for reviewers, testers and contributors!
Please, by any means: Everyone using BuddyPress in “German”:
Flip your Site Language, and on the switch back to German (Du), it should download
soon download the new translation and try them out!
You can also review my translations here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/stable/de/default/?filters%5Btranslated%5D=yes&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current&filters%5Buser_login%5D=bkaindl
If you have improvements proposals, please register on the site and submit your improvements!
(If you also drop me a note, I should be able to review and include your fixes!)
Thanks and I hope it works for everyone…!
A quick update for others that are looking to do this.
I choose https://wordpress.org/plugins/lock-my-bp
Works great, easy to use and is 100% free. The only small issue as of now is a slight issue that the blog articales can be shown as not logged in – even if the blog page is locked. Hopefully the plugin creator will see this and make it work. But its a small issue really. Love the plugin.
To use your BP (BuddyPress) profile picture as the WordPress avatar, you can follow these steps:
Install and activate the “BuddyPress” plugin: Ensure that you have the BuddyPress plugin installed and activated on your WordPress site. This plugin adds social networking functionality, including user profiles, to your WordPress site.
Upload a profile picture in BuddyPress: Go to your BuddyPress profile and upload the desired profile picture. BuddyPress allows users to customize their profile information, including the profile picture. Typically, you can find the profile settings in the user dashboard or by navigating to your profile page on the front-end of your website.
Enable BuddyPress avatar syncing: By default, BuddyPress doesn’t automatically sync the profile picture with the WordPress avatar. You can enable this functionality by adding custom code to your theme’s functions.php file or by using a plugin specifically designed for this purpose.
Option 1: Custom code:
Open your theme’s functions.php file (Appearance > Theme Editor > functions.php) and add the following code snippet:
php
Copy code
function bp_sync_profile_picture_with_avatar( $avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt ) {
if ( function_exists( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’ ) ) {
$avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
‘item_id’ => $id_or_email->user_id,
‘type’ => ‘full’,
‘html’ => false
) );
}
return $avatar;
}
add_filter( ‘get_avatar’, ‘bp_sync_profile_picture_with_avatar’, 10, 5 );
Option 2: Use a plugin:
Install and activate a plugin like “BuddyPress Default Avatar” or “BuddyPress Avatar Sync.” These plugins simplify the process by automatically syncing the BuddyPress profile picture with the WordPress avatar.
Verify the avatar sync: Log out of your WordPress account and visit your website as a guest or open an incognito/private browsing window. Leave a comment or view your author bio to see if the BuddyPress profile picture is now being used as the WordPress avatar.
By following these steps, your BuddyPress profile picture should now be synced with your WordPress avatar.
If you want to create a booking system on your WordPress website that integrates with BuddyPress, you have several options to choose from. One of them is Appointment Scheduling and Booking Manager, which is a plugin that allows your members to manage their appointments on your BuddyPress-powered community website. This plugin lets you create unlimited services, calendars, locations and providers, and supports PayPal and Stripe payment gateways. You can also customize the booking form fields, set seasonal working hours, send reminder and follow-up emails, and more.
Another option is BookingPress, which is a plugin that allows you to set up a complete booking system according to your requirements on your WordPress website. This plugin is suitable for any business or individual who wants to manage their appointment scheduling online. You can create unlimited booking forms, calendars and categories, and configure different settings for each of them. You can also enable online payments, sync with Google Calendar, send email notifications, and more.
Hi,
I have a Custom Post Type ‘golfs’ created with CPT UI.
I try to get the golfs comments (activated) in the Activites feed of BuddyPress without success…
I put the code i found here ( https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/ ) in my bp-custom.php file :
function customize_page_tracking_args() {
// Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
return;
}
// Don't forget to add the 'buddypress-activity' support!
add_post_type_support( 'golfs', 'buddypress-activity' );
/**
* Also don't forget to allow comments from the WordPress Edit Page screen
* see this screencap https://cldup.com/nsl4TxBV_j.png
*/
bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'golfs', array(
'action_id' => 'new_blog_page',
'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Published a new page', 'custom-textdomain' ),
'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Page', 'custom-textdomain' ),
'bp_activity_new_post' => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">page</a>', 'custom-textdomain' ),
'bp_activity_new_post_ms' => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">page</a>, on the site %3$s', 'custom-textdomain' ),
'contexts' => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
'comment_action_id' => 'new_blog_page_comment',
'bp_activity_comments_admin_filter' => __( 'Commented a page', 'custom-textdomain' ),
'bp_activity_comments_front_filter' => __( 'Pages Comments', 'custom-textdomain' ),
'bp_activity_new_comment' => __( '%1$s commented on the <a href="%2$s">page</a>', 'custom-textdomain' ),
'bp_activity_new_comment_ms' => __( '%1$s commented on the <a href="%2$s">page</a>, on the site %3$s', 'custom-textdomain' ),
'position' => 100,
) );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'customize_page_tracking_args' );
New golfs are displayed in the activities feed but not the new comment.
Can anybody tell me what’s wrong ?
WP 6.2.2
BuddyPress 11.2.0

Thank’s in advance

To hide expired Paid Memberships Pro (PMP) members from the Buddypress members list, you can utilize custom code by adding a filter to modify the read query that retrieves the members. Here’s a general outline of the steps you can follow:
Create a child theme: If you haven’t already, create a child theme for your Buddypress-enabled WordPress website of . This allows you to add custom code without modifying the parent theme files directly.
Locate the functions.php file: In your child theme, locate the functions.php file. If it doesn’t exist, create a new one.
Hello Everyone, I hope you all guys are doing good.
i want to make buddypress name field not required. I activated extended profile but still I don’t see any option to make the field optional.
I tried custom code for the field id ( field_1 ) but no success.
Any help?
Using WordPress and Buddypress with latest version.
I am using WordPress version: 6.2.2
I am using BuddyPress version: 11.2.0
My website is https://entertainerdrivers.com/
I installed Buddypress and set everything up via watching a WPtutorial video. After I set everything up I created a dummy account, to see how everything functioned on something other than my admin account. My issue is the toolbar at the top. Users can click on the wordpress icon, on the left side and get to my wordpress details. How do I not allow this? I have disabled all of the buddypress pages until I can sort this out.
Hi,
I have a new site with a “Member” only chat. Since the chat isn’t open to the public, the invites aren’t being delivered. Invites only work when I select “anyone can register” in the general settings. This site is for people with a rare disease and don’t want their stories public. Can I have a closed chat AND have the ability for members to invite eachother to the new chat.
I am using Buddypress 11.2.0
and WordPress 6.2
I am not a programmer and need a simple solution.
I found the problem.
I use relative URLs because I need 3 domains for my website.
In my wp-config.php I added this line. All plugins and wordpress itself are able to work with that, Buddypress is crashing 🙁
define(‘WP_CONTENT_URL’ , ‘/wp-content’);
Is there a way to use that with multiple domains?
Thanks!
I use WordPress for my company’s local intranet. I have been using the Birthdays widget for a couple years… one setup for employee birthdays and one for work anniversaries. The IT Dept recently upgraded our server and now it shows the birthdays and anniversaries started on January 1 and not from the current date. Any ideas on how to fix this??
Wordpress 6.2.2
BuddyPress 11.2.0
Thanks for the code tip.
I also got this recommended for me: https://wordpress.org/plugins/lock-my-bp
I think with all these tips and plugins etc I will try some out and evaluate. I will try to remember to update this thread on what solution I go with and how it works.
Here’s a plugin you could try, there’s a quite a few that will hide/redirect access requests to the signup page so you may want to do some research.
