Thanks I read the links but am still somewhat confused….I am going to have to dig…I am use to it as I have done ALOT of digging while learning both wordpress and buddypress…I am a little confused on what that link is explaining…I guess what I was trying to get at that if I am going to show up I would at least like it to label me as admin and where do I set up to be able to moderate things on the site…especially the forum but on buddypress as well…I want to be able to moderate for any abuse, language, etc but first and foremost I want to see myself labeled on there as the administrator…Rhonda
My question was does the page really exist. This means simply that you have to check for this in WP’s pages list and in BP settings for page, that this page is showing in regard of group : page selectbox.
Do you use plugins other than BP ? If yes, deactivate all except BP and test with 2015.

I have another stumper if someone could help me…I set up Buddypress on my site…since I am logged into my WordPress admin area, buddypress is taking that info and I am showing up as if I am a member…When I use my WordPress login information to get in (such as when you sign in to WordPress as wp-admin)…Buddypress is taking that information and showing me on site as if I am a member…I might not mind being a member on my own site but would like it to at least show up as I am the admin and not just another user…but what if I completely do not want myself to show up as a member….having trouble finding out how to accomplish this…if you could please give input on both scenarios it would be greatly appreciated…thanks so much!! Rhonda
I have a custom page and filtering the activity using parameters:
if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&action=activity_update&per_page=20&scope='
With the BuddyPress Follow plugin, does anyone know the parameter to filter the activity for who you are following?
I’ve tried a few like scope=following scope=bp-following

Any help appreciated
@jmunce no problem! I’ve submitted to the offical repo so hopefully it’ll be available in the Plugin Directory soon.
I’ll definitely be adding the @ friends command next. Let me know if you think of any more commands that might be useful 🙂
This advice I got from William helped me change the text of the Registration page, I’m sure it will work you change other text messages in Buddypress:
This article may be of help to you to change that text http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/make-your-wordpress-site-buddypress-ready/
Or you can use this one too with a plugin: https://webdevstudios.com/2015/06/02/creating-custom-templates-for-buddypress/
I want to get a functions search on Website wordpress .Does anyone happen to know if there will be any type of search or browse functionality?
Because one of the reasons so popular is because you can view or browse through profiles.
Will there be a member homepage?
This is my Website: my Website
Thanks so much.
Just an update on this thread.
At the moment, there aren’t any plugins for this. The BuddyPress Like plugin is broken (it breaks WordPress themes on install and isn’t being supported). I tried others as well. The BuddyPress Compliments seems like a great plugin, but only allows users to compliment other members (not compliment posts). It’s interface and options, useability is great though.
It does what many people are requesting (on WordPress as well as this forum): lets people add “likes” to posts AND lets people customize the button that does the “liking” (I mean you can name the object and set an image for it).
Is there any plans within BuddyPress to add a “like” function (which tallys the likes on posts)? (If so, Compliments is a great model.)
Screens of BuddyPress Compliments:

There is a solution for this. See this plugin.
@1amyone,
you simply have to copy/paste the media url into the form.
Note that you can only use WP’s allowed medias. See the list.
read also about media embedding on the BuddyPress codex.

Hi,
I’ve read every single post and tried everything, but my registration page at https://vegamici.it is not working. When i try to submit, the page simply reload.
This is what I did to try to fix this error:
1) Installed a backup on my computer using MAMP
2) Disabled all the plugins and themes on my website
3) Checked the “capital letter bug”
4) Installed a new wordpress website without plugins
Nothing work since 7th October… I don’t know why 🙁
Can someone help me? I really don’t know what to do now!
Thanks!
I did a complete reinstall of WordPress, deleted all the pre-installed plugins, and added BuddyPress only.
I checked the Membership checkbox in General Settings.
I made sure the permalinks were set for post-name.
I created the Register and Activate pages.
I went to the BuddyPress settings and linked to the pages.
They forward to the home page, still.
hello everybody
i’m tryying to make some pages of my website as tabs and subtabs of buddypress ,, i added some code to the functions.php of my theme and the tabs appeared but when i click it it goes to 404 page, and when i look at the url it gives a different one ,,,,,,,
[mod: link removed] http localhost doesn’t work on internet!
here is the code i’m using :
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'create_tab1', 301 );
function create_tab1() {
global $bp;
bp_core_new_nav_item(
array(
'name' => 'test',
'slug' => 'test',
'position' => 11,
'default_subnav_slug' => 'test', // We add this submenu item below
'show_for_displayed_user' => false,
)
);
}
thanks for your help
I have permalinks activated in WP. I created the Register and Activation pages for my website, but BuddyPress does not allow me to save them once I’ve assigned the pages. On the
Associate WordPress pages with the following BuddyPress Registration pages, there is no option for me to save the settings. The three buttons (“new page”, “save”, and “view”) aren’t there. Also, I do not have the option to save the settings on the Components page either.
This sounds like a question for the developers of your events plugin, which plugin do you use? There will probably be a forum on WordPress.org for it.
No. But ou can replace the word in the language file by an empty space html entity (& n b s p ; ) and simply add an image, or better, a dashicon, via css.
Hey guys!
I have problems with my TopBar I use the Kleo Theme and build a site.
I figured out that I got a wrong Topbar at the buddypress part of my sites.
Aksing in the Support of the Theme and at the WordPress.org Support didn’t help.
Finally they send me here.
So I explain again.
My site have a Navibar and a topbar. On the most sites it looks pretty and the way I want it to look. Only on the Buddypress sites “notifications”, “messages” and “activity” it overwrites my topbar and put there the content from my navibar. So I have the content twice. If I deactivated the Buddypress Plugin the sites shows an error, thats ok, but there is the right topbar. So the problem is with the plugin but cant figure out what went wrong.
What can I do?
What can you recommend me to do?
Hi guys. Is it possible to get 2 BuddyPress Activity Feeds on 1 WordPress install?
We’re looking to have 2 feeds for different levels of membership on the same site.
Is there a best/easiest way to do that?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I’ve not encountered any issues locally.
My preferred setup is Chassis to provide local WordPress environment on vagrant; then adding BuddyPress however you prefer (from wp-admin or manually). Works great on OSX (although there are some general config changes with VirtualBox on El Capitan).

Hi, no need to shout, writing in capitals is really rough. [Mod – topic title modified]
In a WordPress system, you can only upload allowed medias. You already know (probably) that you can embed videos in post by simply copy/pasting the video link into it. This works also with BuddyPress when you enter a video URL to a profile field, it plays automatically, without any additionnal player.
MP3 is an audio format and you can use the same technique as for videos. Read here.
For more advanced display, you have several possibilities by plugins (rtMedia or MediaPress) or by building a custom display which fits exactly to your need. You don’t want a plugin (?), so i’m affraid you have to do something from scratch.
That said, keep in mind that allowing users to upload “big” data files to your site is a mess. First because of the upload limitation in WordPress (by default 2 mo max.) This can only be increased if you have access to the server settings (eg. php_ini and httpd_conf). And if you have some traffic and many MP3, you need a generous bandwith. That’s why it’s recommended to use external services to store these datas. But if you follow this, you can only use what WP allows.
Before thinking about a miraculous snippet in bp-custom, give more details about the scenario you imagine for users (file amount, file size, why do you want this during registering and not later, and so on…).
Depending your answers, the solution can be very simple or very complicated.
I am getting the following message.
I have updated the wordpress install with a new download. I have updated buddypress also with a new download. I have every other plugin disabled and have narrowed the error down to buddypress. Also clicking the support link in the dashboard has an extra p in support so we are sent to a 404 located at http://buddypress.org/suppport/

There is no free media solution that will work seamlessly across WP Multisite and Buddypress, that is comparable to at least some degree to scripts like Elgg or Easysocial for Joomla … Rtmedia paid version is little better but using and uploading media has become so intuitive and easy (along with site super admins options eg how much to allow to upload in one go) that standard cms-es like WordPress, Buddypress, Joomla, Drupal are lacking far behind : for example see Whatsapp – how easily you can add picture from you phone cam or webcam in your gallery ( for Buddypress, Elgg etc you can do this for profile photo only) – such capacities are totally absent in social scripts like BP (WordPress or WP Multisite without BP is somewhat better if used with Jetpack).
We will never catch-up – you will never catch up unless you have deep pockets. WP+BP rest on its laurels and its sad how FB monopoly is destroying the fabric of inter-connectivity of internet.
Mediapress is not a user-friendly solution if you have to quickly or in a moderate time, deploy a social net site.
bbpress is the forum component of WordPress, it can integrate in Buddypress Groups to provide them with forums but will also work standalone.
