How can I add a custom link to a WordPress page into the Buddypress profile page nav? (not subnav)
I can successfully add a link to a section within the profile to the nav, and to the subnav, but cannot link to a seperate wordpress page?
Many thanks
Gregor
Testing it with all plugins turned off and activating them one at a time it turns out WP-SpamShield was causing this persistent screen notification.
Posted it on WordPress.org support forum for plugin: http://bit.ly/1NfTXxv
Ty for this great plugin @shanebp i will try this later and leave a review on wordpress repo.
I may even be swayed to purchasing the premium version soon as the redirect would come in handy for me when restricting them.
I’ve released a new plugin that allows site administrators to prevent non-logged-in users from accessing selected content.
You can get the free version from the WordPress Plugin Repo:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-simple-private/
Or here: http://www.philopress.com/products/bp-simple-private/
There is also a premium version that allows you to set a custom redirection URL and supports bbPress.

Thanks to @henrywright for his feedback.
I think the new password restrictions were a WordPress feature, not BP
Agreed @mcpeanut, the speed improvements alone are worth the upgrade. PHP 7 also has some useful features that us developers would love to use. Problem is, most cheap hosts will still be on something like 5.4 so we can’t use any of the new features in our plugins.
To get an idea what version of PHP WordPress users are on, take a look at these stats:
https://wordpress.org/about/stats/
there are various wordpress plugins that remove it completely or via useroles etc, do a search on the wordpress repository
do a search for this plugin maybe? Disable WP Admin Bar Removal
Hi,
So after a new user logs in to their newly created buddypress account the wordpress menu appears up to top of our website and i can’t figure out how to get rid of it! Before log in, it looks normal, but after login they have access to a wordpress style dashboard etc. See the pic below
it’s annoying as it changes the look and feel for the site, and although users don’t have admin rights to the website, it comes across as unprofessional looking in my opinion. Is there a setting or file that needs to be updated to disable the wp menu appearing?
I’m using WP 4.3.1, theme: the 7.2, BP 2.4.2
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hello,
Whenever someone sends a message or posts an activity to a user, the user email receives a message from an email similar to: wordpress@subdomain.domain.com.
I need a function where users receive an email from my domain instead. Can you please help with this regard?
Thanks
Still looking for any direction or examples where I can create a separate page (outside of the BP member registration or member profile) where members can upload and crop there avatar using the new BP_Attachment_Avatar introduced in 2.3.
The most help/up-to-date info seems to stem from this post.
@imath Would you be able to point me in the right direction? What is restricting the avatar from being uploaded on a page outside of the member profile?
Thanks!
@henrywright – My web host said there were only 164 messages in the queue last night when they looked. However, I know for a fact more than that are going out and that they’re going out every day for mentions that happened years ago. Does wordpress process this in batches or as a cron?
buddypress registration emails are ignoring my smtp mail plugin
wordpress emails go out fine using php and smtp
test emails from the plugin go out fine using smtp
buddypress emails do nothing, they dont even hit the track delivery function in my hosts cpanel where the smtp test emails and wordpress emails do.
from the actions/results here, this is a buddypress issue, I am curious if anyone has ever encountered buddypress being “stuck” with registration emails and if there is a possible fix out there?
BuddyPress now includes PHP 7 in its tests so sites running PHP 7 should be covered:
Ref: https://twitter.com/JJJ/status/673520650624061441
Regarding taking advantage of PHP 7 features, the plugin won’t do that. Any feature introduced after PHP 5.2 won’t be in BuddyPress yet because 5.2 is the minimum requirement to run WordPress.
Preferred not to hack each site’s theme or the bp plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-bar-disabler/
Removes the bp section as well. Can set by role or capability
Creating a child theme is not necessary. I figured out that if you create template files using the //Template Name you can go to the pages that BuddyPress makes and assign template pages to those pages. So you can create a file named activity.php and make it a template file and add the activity loop inside of that file. Once you have assigned that template to the Activity page in the WordPress dashboard you can then go to the BuddyPress settings and make sure that your Activity page is set up under the Activity drop down and save changes and it will work. I didn’t want to add unnecesary steps to making a single theme that did everything I needed. I will work on compiling a tutorial series on how to work with BuddyPress and then contribute it to the codex. Thank you for the response. Also if you look at the code in the BuddyPress plugin on the codebase you will see that bp-legacy is completely deprecated. There is compatibility code to not break old themes, but it is not the best way to do things.
wp_bb_posts is bbPress 1, *not* BuddyPress. 🙂
I don’t know if there’s anyone interesting in working on that old versions of bbPress any more. If you haven’t already, I’d suggest posting on https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ so that at least the issue is logged.
Hi. everyone I’m new to wordpress. is it possible to share my development site to other computer or maybe to smart phones? so that i can test it?
When I registered on my site in an “Incognito Window” I inadvertently used an already in use email address and a note on top of the screen, provided that information. Then I corrected it, and submitted the form successfully. However the error warning “Sorry, that email address is already used!” was still visible on the next screen “Check your email to activate your account”. Might be quite confusing to the user.

WordPress: 4.3.1
BuddyPress: 2.4.2
Theme: Apostrophe 1.0.7
I have published blank Register and Activate page on my site but I keep getting the error message?
@beginner3 If you have enabled registration again, then go wp-admin menu Settings > BuddyPress and click on the “Pages” tab, and in the Registration and Activate section, choose the blank pages you created and associate each with respective functions per
I just figured that out. I have the activity folder added to the twentyfifteen theme. I am trying to modify the file, but it really doesn’t look like it should. I am logged in and I dont see any activity nor do i see the message Sorry, there was no activity found, Please try a different folder.
I am so confused and frustrated. I am pretty competent with wordpress as well as php, and i don’t feel like this should be so difficult.
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/ At the bottom of this page it show you the Assign the Pages section once you assign the page you have an option to Save? I dont have that option and keep getting the below error message? I have tried to deactivate delete and reinstall plugin but nothing is working?
Also I have published blank Register and Activate pages and am still having trouble?
ERROR MESSAGE:The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register.
There is no such filter hook as messages_notification_new_message.
There is an email_subject filter hook:
$email_subject = apply_filters( 'messages_notification_new_message_subject', $email_subject, $sender_name, $ud );
But as you can see, the variables passed do not include the message subject.
So, I don’t see a way to do what you want.
There is an enhancement ticket in the works
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6460
It might expose the fields you need.
You aren’t alone in asking for a different filtering system:

Thanks for the responses Shane. I have the same issue as the user.
I am unable to delete the index.php portion of the link
I want to create the following permalink: http://localhost/wordpress/groups/
However, only the bold area can be changed http://localhost/wordpress/index.php/groups/
I am trying to start using buddypress. I am currently a wordpress developer, but the documentation gives little to no api information for starters. It tells me the php files and the order of importance, but I have no idea what any of these files actually do. It doesn’t say buddypress.php’s purpose is this or this file will be used for this. Can someone help me out with this?
