BuddyPress.org

a:3:{i:0;s:7:”English”;i:1;s:4:”Math”;i:2;s:10:”Substitute”;}
is a serialized array.

BuddyPress will unserialize profile data via
xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id = 0, $multi_format = 'array' )
and return an array.

But if you want to do this in the context of a search query, you probably want to use wildcards in the mysql statement, for example: %math%.
This can be tricky to implement if you haven’t done it before.

There is already a good plugin that does member searches based on profile field values:

Hi @albydigei

This functionality is currently in development. See this ticket for progress:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6057

I’m unable to tell what happens. I tried to register, received the mail, clicked on activation link and error message.
Tried to login, and didn’t found the wp-login page.

Some url’s are weird or wrong… and i suspect you haven’t correctly setup BuddyPress.

Deactivate all plugins but BP
Deactivate kleo theme and activate 2012 or 2014.

Go to BP settings and check all pages. You need a page for each component. This page must only have a title and should be absolutely blank, without any template or page model assigned.

Go to permalinks and select an option. Whatever except default. Save.

Via FTP, delete wp-config.php and htaccess. This will not affect the DB content
Run WP install again (yoursite.com/install). The goal is to generate a brand new htaccess and wp-config file.
When you’re asked for, use salt key generator and copy/paste the result to wp-config

If all went correctly, you have a fresh install.

Return to BP settings and check that anything is still in place. Register and activation page maybe completed or not assigned. In this case, assign a page to each.

Return to permalinks and simply save the page.

Now you can test registering again. If it is ok, you activate kleo and re-test registering.

Subsidiary question: have you installed WP manually or did you used a hosted automated package ?

Check also kleo’s support about BP configuration.

Annoying issue, was initially reported for BP 1.7

Hey @hmglv

Diagnosing that problem is going to be rather difficult on the little info we have to go on. My advice is to search the WordPress code base to see if anything shows up for the exact error string you’re seeing. Then try to trace back to see what may be causing the error.

I’m experiencing the same issue. After I visit BuddyPress pages and then navigate to any standard or template page, except the homepage, but including the blog, I get a 404. Sometimes a simple refresh will work. Sometimes navigating to a new page will work. Sometimes the issue will not be fixed unless I refresh Permalinks or log-out and log-in again.

WordPress 4.2.2
BuddyPress 2.2.3.1
bbPress 2.5.7 (though, the issue continues even when bbPress is deactivated)

This issue was asked on another post that was closed before an answer was provided:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-iis-and-randomreoccurring-404-errors/

This post had a resolution:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/page-not-found-error-on-static-pages/

I have checked and Mod_Rewrite is enabled through htaccess as defined here:

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

Am I missing anything here? This appears to be an issue with BuddyPress. Does anyone have a resolution?

Have you tested this plugin ?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-upload-avatar-ajax/

Depends where wp is installed ! Usually at site root.
See your WP settings (settings > general) if unsure.
Remember also that BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

Getting Started

Hello,

Same problem here… Has anyone found a solution ?

When I’m on a mobile, the wordpress admin bar shows up but there are no button on it to login or register..

And there is also a black/grey bar on top of this bar.

Screenshot if it can help : https://i.imgur.com/lGbOSWO.png

Thanks

@minglonaire,

i’m part of the one percenter who cares about well formed urls and a basic system which is working on 23% of www’s sites !

If you have enhancement ideas, feel free to post in the appropriate forum or open a ticket on Trac.

BP is only a WP plugin and doesn’t handle registration. On the other hand, WP use a very short registering form, containing 3 fields: username, email and password.

First and last name are optionnal fields on the standard WP user profile. These fields are not mandatory, never appear on the registration page and it’s in the freedom of everyone to use them or not. When BP is installed, he provides a mandatory Name field, which can be used to enter a username or a first/last name.

Even if i have no percentage to give you, i’m pretty sure that almost all users are satisfied to use a CMS which doesn’t ask them for real names at first ! And why not their address, blood group, gran’mother nickname or their mom’s phone number ?

This are privacy options, and WP is smart enough to not abuse of such things, by default. Smart enough also to use the simpliest existing register routine, like all other major web operators, a username, a valid email and an encrypted password.

Anything else is matter of flexibility, one of the major interrest to use BuddyPress. And definetly no, not all communities have members who knows each others. Don’t make you the spokeman of such behalf speculation. 😉

I think you’re confused by system requirements and your own desires. To get it clear for the register aspect, read here please.

Oh, and the answer to your question is here:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Theres a plugin which does what you mention. BuddyPress Activity Plus you can find it from the plugins page in your WordPress admin area.

Hi pixskull

You have a number of options. There are plugins you could install which would help you. Also there is the code-it-yourself approach. It depends on your time, coding skills, requirements etc.

Check out https://apppresser.com/ as well. It lets you build apps with WordPress.
