BuddyPress.org

Activate wp_debug (set to TRUE) in the wp-config file. This can give you a lot of information about conflict and/or errors.

Is MAMP configured correctly ?

Can you correctly register a user from the back-end ?

To get a page ID, simply mouse over the page title on the page list and you can see it in the bottom left corner of your brower.
Someting like this:
../wp-admin/post.php?post=23&action=edit where “23” is the page ID. This number means post_type ID, so there is no difference between a post ID or a page ID except the post_type itself.

Any user can send a message to the site admin if he use the default sender address: wordpress@yoursite.com

Do you use other plugins as BP ?

Any ideas on what may have caused this ?

That question was answered here.

It’s the user who did it wrong, so guess there is no technical solution.

The “from” wordpress@mysite.com is a default address which redirect to site admin address (the one you indicate when you setup WP).

This can (and should be) changed, as its a common trick used by spammers. Read here how to do this.

Version 9 and 6 are slightly different and Customizr doesn’t show a complete BP title when you use the latest patch (9). For example, you’ll see just the site name on single activities.

Applying the first one made by imath will probably be the best solution in your situation. I won’t critizise Customizr, but personnally i won’t use it with BuddyPress. Because of this issue, and some others, handled on that theme support. 951,457 downloads maybe say it’s a popular theme, but 245 support pages in one year is something that get me a bit suspicious in term of usage.

There is no miraculous method to apply a patch, and no special tips for that except if you don’t know how to copy/paste code, which i can’t belive is the case 😉

So Codex is your friend to discover some other academic methods like using Tortoise.

Not sure that Customizr is now working 100% with BP (1 year back it wasn’t compatible with BP).

Anyway, issue is related to the theme. FYI, 2015 also doesn’t show up page titles…

To solve this temporarely (until next update), you can apply this patch
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107

I tested v.6107.06 with Customizr and it works !

@lehn6 For clarity, let’s go over some points you made above.

>> I have a multisite network set up and had Buddypress installed on http://www.example.com/subsite1, as in that subsite was where the BP install was placed

So do you have something like this in your wp-config.php:
define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id ); where $blog_id is a the ID number of your subsite

>> UserPro plugin was added and network activated, then subsite1 was improperly deleted

Do you mean subsite1 was deleted by you or developer? How was it deleted? Do you have a database backup of your site before subsite1 was deleted?

>> looking to install BP to the main site and network activate. When I go to do that I find that as soon as I network activate BP the network admin dash and the main site dash are basically the same, where it says I am in the main site dash but none of the pages or posts are displayed.

How are the network admin dashboard and main site dashboard the same? Do you mean you have no access anymore to the Network Admin menus? https://codex.wordpress.org/File:dashboard.png vs https://codex.wordpress.org/File:superadmin-options.png Can you post a screenshot?

@rezon8dev,

why can’t you display something on the profile page ? Both snippets are working and display some content. Explain what you’re trying to achieve or test the snippet and give details about things which are not going like you want.

Profiles are showed one a page called Member. This page is part of BP and use the page context of WordPress internally, to generate dynamically BP’s content.

This means you cannot publish directly on this page, like an ordinary WP page. And all BP pages are working like this.
This means you can’t publish directly on them, using wp’s editor. For any specific content you want evtl. to show on a BP page, you have to generate it separatly, by coding a function.
That’s why the example above uses an iframe for the video.

Normaly, when you add a video to a wp post or page, you have just to copy/paste a link and WP does the whole code automatically for you.

But as it is a BP page, this is not avaible and you must add it manually.

More generally, WordPress doesn’t allow any kind of media and you can only show those which are allowed/recognized by the CMS. This rule is explained here and concern any type of site and any plugin, including BP.

It’s unclear: do you have public or private groups ?
– Groups set for public viewing not showing up.
– There are groups on the site which are set for private viewing.

Privacy settings are different for these types of groups.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminimize/ is another solution
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-hide-dashboard/, also !

https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/ you could try this plugin im sure this plugin lets you rename it to a different url and key of your choice if i remember correctly.

Meaning the plugin allows you to change yoursite.com/wp-admin/ and wp-login to a wording of your choice so only you and anyone you have told knows.

@morka – I know you can’t enable / disable comments on those pages (at least from my experience with BP and a few themes / installs, of course with WP just about anything is possible) – You failed to mention if you have the same issue with the default wordpress themes.

@morka – do you have the same issue when using the default “wordpress 2014” or “twenty-twelve” themes?
If not, I would ask your theme author to add some kind of check on pages for something like “if is register page, turn off comments” / not load the comment hook thing…

sorry not a php or wp/bp expert, can’t point you in the right direction for those codes and what they are really called. I know with some standard WP pages you can go into the editor and select “comments off / disable trackbacks” – and with some themes you can use a theme option to “display comments off” or hide “comments off” on pages where comments are disallowed.

Have you tried the WP members only plugin?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/

This will restrict your whole website also to members only.
If you want to just restrict one part of the website, I can help you build a simple function to do this.

What does the link look like
http://www.example.com/groups/blah blah blah ??
Is that what you are trying to block non mebers access to?

I’m looking for something similar, however I want completely separate forms. I can see how to edit the registration page to only show the fields I need as I customised this to my requirements already. My problem is that I want multiple pages with separate forms on them as this would allow me to code them differently to my needs. When I have put the BP registration form code into a custom wordpress page template, this doesn’t display the form fields as it clearly isn’t recognising the BP specific code within the template.

I’m unsure of where to go with this.

Edit: I can get the form to show up now, but when I submit the form, it just reloads the page without registering the new user.

If you’re using BP 2.2 +, you should use this approach instead:

Post Types Activities

My cpts appear.
However, comments on them do not appear in the activity stream.

Perhaps because I didn’t create a component for those cpts – I hope that is not the case.
Hopefully this ticket will provide an answer.

Hi @gidantrip

Please see 6107

Hi @nkeatign

Looking at the code snippet in that thread, wp_get_attachment_image_src() is used to get the array of info. The 2nd param is size so you can utilise that to get the large version. For example:

$theimg = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id() ), 'large' );

Note: you could also use medium or full if you wanted.
