Thanks for the reply paul …. they have never worked for me … i tried switching to the wordpress 2016 theme and then the classic theme to rule out my own theme being responsible …the cover images are there where they should be in the buddypress uploads directory ..but they don’t show up ..any ideas?
Hi @kory27,
checked your site and found that you haven’t setup correctly BP/WP.
The link to members page you use is:
../gamma.rabbitholeconsulting.com/index.php/activity/
Same path error for activities…
The path should be ../gamma.rabbitholeconsulting.com/members/ When you use this path you’ll see your members (actually 2)
I suggest that you read carefully WP’s install documentation.

and for BuddyPress
Configure BuddyPress
Hello,
I am running the latest versions of BBPress, BuddyPress, and WordPress. I am using the below code to use BuddyPress mentions for BBPress.
/*Add Mentions to BBPress*/
function custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts( $retval = false ) {
if ( function_exists( 'bbpress' ) && is_bbpress() ) {
$retval = true;
}
return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts' );
I do not need to use the Activity streams, is there a way to disable the Activity streams but still keep the mentions functionality that BuddyPress provides?
Thanks.
Is it possible to use Peepso http://demo.peepso.com/
available at https://wordpress.org/plugins/peepso-core/ along with Buddypress
specially for the photo and some other features that look not dated and are super-fast.
Has anyone tried this in Multiste set-up with blogs and blog comments ?
Thanks.
Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6970
@bobbyredding Thank you for letting us know about this bug!
Interesting. This looks like you are indeed running an older WordPress — probably no later than v4.2.6. @bobbyredding An immediate fix is to update WordPress to the latest version. We’ll look into seeing if and how we can fix this (without bumping the required minimum WordPress version) in a small release in two or three weeks’ time.
Relevant core change was https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25560, see the commit note. Looks like this was a WordPress bug that was only discovered/fixed relatively recently.
BTW, I don’t have New User Approve anymore, it has been deleted along with all other login plugins. I turned off all Plugins except WordPress and Buddypress and this issue still occurs.
What version of WordPress are you using?
If you’re not on the latest version of WordPress, please try upgrading and see if that fixes the problem.
Wordpress version: 2.2.7
Buddypress version: 2.5.1

Hello,
I am currently using a plugin called WP User Frontend Pro to utilize the ability to create nice front end forms. I also liked their Registration and Login/Logout functionality. Basically, I am using their Registration and Login/Logout functionality for the whole site.
I also want to use BuddyPress’s social features.
Can somebody guide me on how to “integrate” the use of BuddyPress to be “underneath” the User Frontend Pro’s registration and login/logout feature?
In other words, I want users to be able to register, login, and logout via the User Frontend Pro plugin and also be able to register, login, and logout to use BuddyPress.
Hope the above questions make sense…Thanks!
I recently activated buddypress onto a live vantage themed wordpress site.
When a person attempts to register they are redirected to the wordpress admin page.
Once they click register on the wordpress admin page, the register form is displayed.
However, after filling in the required information and clicking ‘complete signup’ they are given this message:
Warning: require_once(extras/class.html2text.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/t2jstr5/public_html/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 2826
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘extras/class.html2text.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/t2jstr5/public_html/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 2826
Anyone know how I can rid myself and potential new users of this problem?
Note: Allow ‘Anyone can register’ is activated.
Thank you in advance.
Since you are talking about forum post count, you should post this over on the bbPress forums:
https://bbpress.org/forums
bbPress adds support for group forums in BuddyPress.
Here are some hints though:

Thanks for the report.
We do support default WordPress themes, however new color schemes for default themes is something we really haven’t taken into consideration.
I’m going to ping @hnla here since he’s our resident companion stylesheet guru.
hnla – I haven’t looked into this yet, but if 2016 adds a <body> CSS class to denote the new dark scheme, it might be possible to change our BP colors in our 2016 companion stylesheet to reflect 2016’s dark scheme.
Thanks for the report, however BuddyPress doesn’t touch the lost password email. That is a native WordPress email.
Perhaps you need to configure your SendGrid plugin or SMTP.
I can confirm, using BP 2.5.1, that the “accepted your friendship request” email is not sent.
The ‘friendship requested’ email is sent.
Ticket opened.
Each BuddyPress Component needs its own WordPress page. The following WordPress Pages have more than one component associated with them: Members, Groups. Repair
Hi,
found out that users can only use lost-password-function in WordPress v4.4.2 and BP v2.5.1 if the website do not use a smtp service for tracking all URLs within an Email.
Should that be true?
Best Regards,
Thorsten
Hello!
Just installed the latest WP beta (4.5-beta4-37037) and BuddyPress 2.5.1. After changing the default Twenty Sixteen theme color scheme to the dark one I noticed, that BuddyPress does not fully follow the new colors.
Here is a screenshot: http://goo.gl/M8X6fK
Is this a bug? Should BuddyPress support the default WordPress theme?
Thank you!
It is not possible with wordpress core. I suggest to deactivated your menu and add all page manually like you had do. You can style them properly in the future.
I’m running a WordPress theme using BuddyPress (dating site).
Is there a way to only allow new members to sign up that are only from USA? In other words only allow USA emails to the signup process.
You can use BuddyPress Member Stats plugin or just this function (in bp-custom.php)
This example is for group updates only. But you have the general idea. And please, keep calm, if you have a big update writers community, totalizing ALL existing updates can became a mess and a real problem which can slow down a site. You’re warned ! 😉
function bms_get_total_group_updates_count(){
global $wpdb, $bp;
$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
if ( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) :
// DB query
$total_updates = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_activity
WHERE component = 'groups'
AND type = 'activity_update'
AND user_id = '%s' ", $user_id ) );
echo $total_updates;
endif;
}
And for the output somewhere in your template, something like:
<li><?php _e( 'My updates:', 'buddymemberstats' ); ?> <?php bms_get_total_group_updates_count(); ?></li>
Yes, i’m the plugin author. 😉
Thanks for providing further info.
Please create a ticket here using the same user & pw you use for these forums.
And include a link to this topic.
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
– By ‘save’, you mean update?
Yes, sorry for my english
– Have you tried editing and updating any other emails?
– If so, did the same issue occur?
Yes. If we update any mail, the mail are saved as post type, not as BuddyPress Emails type (bp-email type).
– Have you tried using the Email Repair tool?
– wp-admin > Tools > BuddyPress > ‘Reinstall emails (delete and restore from defaults).’
This will delete your current emails including any edits you made to them.
“Reinstall emails” work fine but the problem is the same: all new mails are not updatable.
– What version of WP are you using?
We use WordPress 4.4.2.

Hi @abuyaman
I found a HTML solution that works now with WP/BP.
1. Use WP Better Emails
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-better-emails/
2. Use SAR Friendly SMTP
https://wordpress.org/plugins/sar-friendly-smtp/
And if you don’t have a SMTP service, use SendGrid.com
Tested and it works for like a charme.
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to adjust the admin bar for logged out users so that there is no register and login button and that the anonymous user profile shows up with register, logout, password etc.
I’ve been searching for a while now and haven’t been able to find out how to do it.
I’ve tried doing it through my functions.php by using $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu and $wp_admin_bar->add_menu. I’ve even put a script in to check what the node ID’s were of my menu’s in order to be able to remove or add them.
I’ve seen previous posts where people said that this had something to do with either your theme or your plugins, so I disabled all plugins except buddypress and enabled twenty fifteen theme to see if it changed anything. Which it did not.
I’m using wordpress 4.4.2 with buddypress 2.5.1 on my localhost machine.
I’ve also looked at the following page:
Modifying the Toolbar
But it seems like this is a deprecated-guide?
Does anyone know of the current way to make this work?
I basically want the same wp-admin-bar-my-account to work for logged out users. Which is displayed as node ID: my-account.
I have already set my site to allow users to register and I have also made sure that logged out users are capable of seeing the bar in my buddypress settings. Which works because I can see the bar with a login and register button on it but not with the my-account profile on it. And I can also use the registration form for new users.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work?
