BuddyPress.org

May be a forgotten custom function in child theme or bp-custom.php ? May be a role or a membership plugin ? Who knows ?
You have to debug !

Thanks for the reply @danbp

I have not built the site and I also have very little technical and coding knowledge (sorry!) I will update WordPress later but wasn’t sure how to back everything up?

There is a lot of plugins installed:Admin Menu Editor, Advanced Custom Fields,Advanced Custom Fields PRO, bbPress,BuddyPress, DropBox Folder Share, Easy FancyBox, Gravity Forms, Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types, Gravity Forms CSS Ready Class Selector, Gravity Forms Remove Entries, jonradio Multiple Themes, Login Security, Members, No Page Comment, OPcache Dashboard,Page Specific Menu Items, PHP Code For Posts, Post Types Order, Social Media Feather, Styles with Shortcodes for WordPress,
TAO Schedule Update, WordPress Importer, WP Google Maps, WP Google Maps – Pro Add-on, wp_mail return-path

Are any of these know to conflict with BuddyPress?

Not sure on the custom functions as far as I know… I’m not confident enough to debug and the site it is also live so not sure what to do?

Think I will update WordPress then disable all plugins except BuddyPress and try on a twenty theme but if that doesn’t work, which seems like the case in other past posts, I’m not sure need help!

Thanks again

@intothemythica,

guess you have to follow instructions belonging to the actual WP/BP version… Haven’t you seen this notice ?
***The following pertains to administrators using WordPress 3.0 in network mode)***

BP should be on the same site where WP is installed.

Follow Codex from here and note that:

One site of the Network

C. BuddyPress Activated in Main Site only
D. BuddyPress Activated in Secondary Site only
Posts, comments, or activities of the users in sites other than where you activated BuddyPress won’t be recorded in the Activity Streams when you install BuddyPress in only one site of the network.

Installation in WordPress Multisite

Add this snippet to bp-custom.php and comment/remove what you don’t need

function bpex_admin_bar_remove() {
global $wp_admin_bar;

	// Remove the whole WP logo menu
//	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'wp-logo' ); 

	// remove only About BuddyPress 
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'bp-about' ); 

	// remove only About bbPress
//	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'bbp-about' );

}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpex_admin_bar_remove' );

I am having this issue with BuddyPress 2.6.1.1 & bbPress 2.5.10 plugins installed

I have used the BuddyPress repair tool but it didn’t work?

Running WordPress 4.4.4 and the Sparkling theme

Any ideas as this seems to be a common issue looking back through older topics

Irony is when I forgot my password to this forum it sent an email instantly!!!

Thanks in advance

Try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
(old but still working)

1. Yes – If a site admin, on your profile > Messages > Compose… [checkbox] This is a notice to all users.

2. Yes with https://wordpress.org/plugins/crowdmentions/

3. No

4. Yes – per user setting on whether they want such emails: Profile > Settings > Email

Hi,
try this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/miniorange-otp-verification/

A bit different method is explained here.

If you look at wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php That’s the template you need to edit in order to change that text.

Inside wp-content/themes/your-theme/ Make a file called buddypress.php. In that file add the following…

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php the_post(); the_content(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

By default BuddyPress will use a file located in your theme that currently exists, something like page.php as you can read about here.

By creating a buddypress.php we’re telling BuddyPress to use a custom template loader for all BuddyPress pages and components. Inside that file (buddypress.php) you can do anything you like for the “wrapper” around your BuddyPress stuff. In the code example above for buddypress.php we’re grabbing the content but not bringing in things like <?php the_title(); ?> like you will find in a typical page.php that most WordPress themes will have.

This will remove ALL page titles from BuddyPress pages, as you now have a custom “wrapper” for those areas the plugin will use.

If you wish to remove the title on a per page basis you may simply want to do a CSS solution and do target the body tag with CSS and then any suitable elements in the HTML. This means you could do something like…

body.activity.directory div.page-inner h2 { display: none; }

If you don’t want to do a CSS solution you can then look into component detection.

Hope that helps.

There’s a plugin for this but might need the pro version depend on what you’re trying to achieve.

Here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

I sue this one which has options to limit all the BP components to registered users and has the added optional feature to approve all registrations. The only thing doesn’t lock pages just BP features.

Spam is an endless discussion on the web over years. Search this forum, you’ll find many topics.

Half of my users registrations are reported by buddypress like a spam.
The question is why ? Aside, note that it is WP who controls the registration, not BuddyPress.

Do you use Askimet or some other plugin who controls your registry ?

So I think it’s sufficient? no?

Simply ? NO !

Captchas are helping to determine a human activity, but generally don’t spam users.

Many spam bots go through captcha and many other goes directly to your db. And many many, if not all, can send emails !
Spammers are even cleverer as most door keepers, it’s a sad fact and a great part of that “sport” to prove it continuously.

Here some common tasks explained to avoid spam and other unwanted content on your site. Note that one of the first thing to do is to use another table prefix as the universal knowed wp_ !

Have you tried this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-simple-private/

look for a ‘premium content’ plugin that can lock down pages based on user role, or user ID..

there are probably several plugins that can do this for you, I’ll link one or two…

User Access Manager seems to be your best bet, it seems a little better than restrict content. Both are still active and have recent updates.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-access-manager/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-content/

If you are looking for more features than simple page locking:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

There are other plugins available that do this as well, I just listed a few free solutions.

I hope that helps you!

WordPress is a CMS.
Members are the heart of BuddyPress, which is a plugin.

Once BP is activated, your user haven’t to go to their dashboard, as anything can be done from front-end. If you need wp’s bio field, you could recreate one with xprofile.

Suggest to read the Codex to understand how BP is working.

And if it’s not enough, see this plugin (but probably only usefull if you had a wp install running with many contributors before using BP).
