This plugin add more fields type to Buddypress extension: Xprofile. The fields type added are: Birthdate.. Image.. Number within min/max values..
@rlfstars So did you build the website yourself? If you did you should sort of be able to retrace some of the steps you took before Buddypress suddenly quit as you have described, can you explain what you mean a little better about Buddypress suddenly quiting? do you mean certain parts of Buddypress stopped working or didn’t work as it was before? or do you mean Buddypress somehow got deactivated? there must of been something that triggered what you are describing for it to happen in the first place, I am just finding it very strange the way you are describing Buddypress as suddenly quiting.
First off, try to ask yourself a few of these questions below and think back:
Did you install any new plugins after you had set Buddypress up and had it working?
Did you by any chance have Buddypress working with your current theme and plugin configuration or was it all working correctly when it was on another theme?
How much memory does your wordpress install have allocated to it?
Did you do a WordPress version update recently? the newer versions of WordPress since 4.0 are known to have broke quite a few older plugins that are outdated or don’t have much support. maybe this could be causing a clash…I dunno?
I know your site is live and you don’t want to mess things up and maybe you are worried about deactivating some of your plugins, but have you yet tried deactivating plugins one at a time and then with each deactivation tried to reactivate Buddypress?
In future it may be better for you to also have some form of testing environment too (preferably a local install), this will allow you to test as many different plugins/theme combinations and tweak things such as combining scripts etc before doing the changes to your live website. (This will ensure everything works how it should and nothing is broken). Also please note, I would not recommend you diving into the combining of JS and CSS files etc on a live site as you can often break things and it can be trial and error to get right depending on what plugins/features you are using (this is also a different issue than what you have, I only mentioned it to give you an heads up on the shear amount that your website loads on a per page basis whilst I was looking at your source).
Other than the above steps it really is hard to help out any more from this end without being able to check it out pal. Like shane said maybe you need to hire someone in to take a look at it all.
Just an idea: if you have no success finding a shared BuddyPress calendar, try searching for shared WordPress calendar. In BuddyPress, members are actually WordPress users so in theory things should work. You’ll need to test though, as always.
mcpeanut,thank you for your observations and insights. Buddypress was working fine, and then suddenly quit. i tried reactivating, but each time, it would crash the dashboard of wordpress. i had go daddy walk me through resetting it. since i couldnt get bp to work, i found peepso as a quick fix so that something was there. but i lost all the posts, groups etc.
i’m looking for a “web dude” lol, whose coding acumen can weave together the vision i have.
i’ll look into your suggestions based on the yslow report.
i don’t know how to do much of this, but am willing to learn.
thank you.
WordPress Version: 4.4.1
BuddyPress Version: 2.4.3.
Site link: still building it offline
For the website I’m working on I’ve chosen to go with WooThemes Canvas. It has turned out that some features of BuddyPress don’t work with the theme, but I do not know why. As I’m not familiar with coding, I’ll try to explain as good as possible.
Problem: in the BuddyPress group forums the forum title and topic title aren’t displayed. The links itself are there, but the text isn’t rendered. When inspecting in Chrome I can see the link is there, but the topic title between the <a> tags isn’t there.
What I assume is this line of code in loop-single-topic.php
<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?></a>
shows as:
<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="http://mysite.com/community/groups/admins/forum/topic/instructions/"></a>
When I switch to one of the default WordPress theme it shows just fine.
I can add that another plugin (MyCred) that is supposed to show additional information in the BuddyPress profile header doesn’t perform what it’s supposed to do. Again when switching to a default theme it works.
Is the theme just incompatible and that’s that? Or are there steps I can take to get to the bottom of the issue?
Thank you! I followed the login trouble WordPress suggestions and I fixed it by changing the name of the plug in folder via FTP and the site is showing again :). Apparently Edume template is not compatible with this plug in.
Here’s a partial buddypress template files to theme folder listing here
I don’t have activity streams activated so I can’t help you with your original problem, though I’m sure you’ve since figured it out.
Warning: I haven’t tested this or thought it through and I’m half asleep..
For starters, if you have ftp access rename the buddypress plugin folder to something else like ‘temp-buddypress’
Log into admin panel, switch themes to twentyfifteen.
Rename buddypress back to its original name.
Check your site and admin panel to see if buddypress is working with twentyfifteen.
Here’s some troubleshooting advice from wordpress..
WordPress Codex: Login Trouble
I am looking for insight on using groups as taxonomies.
My current project will use groups extensively. I am looking to enable group admins to freely associate groups with one another by making groups a taxonomy within groups. I recon this is a pretty complex proposition.
The CPT-onomies plugin does something similar to what I am looking for, but with custom post types, which BP groups are not. Some BP devs are currently busy working on Group Types. Could these tools possibly be used together to achieve what I am looking for?
Any insights are welcomed.
Thank you.
Hi,
I recently encountered some issues with the latest version of buddypress (2.4.3) and W3 Total Cache (0.9.4.1).
When a user tries to change their password via buddypress, after submitting the password change it logs them out to the login screen with error message
You must log in to access the page you requested.
Once user tries to put in the new password, it does not work. It also does not work with old password. This behavior does not happen if I disable W3 Total Cache. I also don’t remember having this issue before the latest updates to wordpress so I’m guess this is more of a problem with W3 Total Cache than Buddypress.
I figured out how to do it with the plugin BP Profile Search
In the plugin options if you choose the option Get under Form Method your searches with this plugin will show a link in the url field of your browser.
http://your.website/members/?field_131=East&field_131_label=East+Or+West&bp_profile_search=65
seems to work fine shortened to..
http://your.website/members/?field_131=East&bp_profile_search=65
You can use links like those to build custom menus.
But they are of course dependent on the plugin being installed as well as other variables you create with the plugin form builder.
I’ll update this another day when I figure out a plugin independent method.
Hey guys,
First off, thank you for taking the time to read and help me with my dilemma.
I’m trying to improve the bounce and return rate of my website. We’ve agreed that this best way to do this would be to build a a forum onto the website. I’m looking for the most seamless transition, with no issues!
So basically i want to add BuddyPress to http://dallastechsolutions.com but on the menu bar, so that i can have the forum live there.
Is this possible ? Would you recommend making it a subdomain instead ?
Thank you for the help and i wish you a great day!
Hi,
I am using the latest versions of WordPress and Buddypress.
I want to use my dashboard in English because that is what I am used to.
I downloaded language pack for Buddypress but it only works if my dashboard’s language is also Turkish. When I change it back to English, Buddypress becomes english as well. I have been checking online for w few hours now but I could not find anything related to this, or maybe I did but did not understand (not so good at php codes). Is there a way to use separate languages for wordpress and buddypress?
Here is my site: http://www.buzzluk.com
Many thanks in advance
Hi,
seems a good idea, and as WP is now responsible of over 25% websites, using such a tool in a WP environment could be interesting.
That said, you’re not alone to think ! 😉 2 plugins are avaible:

Hi,
you need to use bbpress.po translation file, even if your site is in default english language.
Or if you only want to modify one word, you can use this snippet from inside your child-theme’s functions.php (will also work in bp-custom.php)
function bruce_change_name( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
if ( 'bbpress' !== $domain )
return $translated;
switch ( $original_text ) {
case 'Forums': // original word
return 'Four Rhum'; // your custom word
default:
return $translated;
}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'bruce_change_name', 10, 3 );

Hey folks,
Still trying to track down a problem with the activation of BuddyPress on our site. In the debug.log which was suggested I turn on and review, have lots of these..
[29-Dec-2015 20:12:48 UTC] PHP Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data03/90/2440390/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3787
and some of these..

and these too.

………
I guess the bottom line question, is there a way to find older versions of plugins of various sorts to go backwards in time on them?
Or are we regularly tweaking the php files of plugins?
If anyone has any ideas for fixes, we’ll I’d appreciate any minutes you can spare.
Trudging along,
Paul
Resolved. Turns out WordPress page conditionals are not true during ajax requests. You can create conditionals using wp_get_referer() as a workaround. I created my own conditional, if anyone wants to create a page conditional to filter a custom activity loop with the parse args filter, here is a good starting point:
//for page 'test-1'
unction bp6801_is_test_1_page() {
$is_test_1_page = false;
if ( is_page( 'test-1' ) ) {
$is_test_1_page = true;
} elseif ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) {
$referer_page_id = url_to_postid( wp_get_referer() );
$referer_page = get_post( $referer_page_id );
if ( $referer_page instanceof WP_Post && 'test-1' === $referer_page->post_name ) {
$is_test_1_page = true;
}
}
return $is_test_1_page;
}
@henrywright,
Are you sure this is a bbPress thing ? In the profile of a standard WordPress/bbPress install, I don’t seem to have a ‘Forum’ button in my profile.
Pascal.
do you mean remove something into de plugin code?
No.
remove_action() is a function that lets you remove an action hook. Try reading up on WordPress actions; they’re a way to modify behaviour without editing core files.
Hi, i want delete the avatar crop after upload but i don’t now how i can do this. Help me. Thank
wordpress: 4.4.1
buddypress: 2.4.3
Hi,
I am currently using WordPress 4.4.1 running Enfold theme, and BuddyPress Version 2.4.3 (www.testingit.website).
I asked the following question to me theme provider and was advised that it would be best to ask you guys for help.
“I am quite new to BuddyPress and wondered how it is possible to develop a profile page like that displayed here.
http://seventhqueen.com/demo/sweetdatewp-modern/members/demo/#my-photos
The main things I need are a:
1. A clean and professional look
2. A section for clients to input there contact details and information
3. Functionality to upload pictures (preferably to different albums)
I have no idea if any of this is possible but would love to find out more; and any alternatives if it is not possible to achieve what I am looking for.”
Thanks in advanced,
Josh
Try finding the BuddyPress redirect and check if it’s removable. remove_action() might be handy in this situation, depending on how the redirect is coded.
