No problem. Unfortunately the last 2 updates have not fixed the issue yet. Hopefully soon, but I am looking at other alternatives also.

I would encourage you and anyone else having problems to make a reply here. Maybe they do not understand how many sites it is really causing problems with.

I just found one plugin “Invite Anyone” that allows group admin\moderator to invite any site users to the group. This plugin also allows you to invite people to join the site & group(s) through email.

This is what I was looking for!

I am not sure if this will work but you can visit yoursite/wordpress/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-tools and try “Repair user “last activity” data”

Have you tried the WangGuard plugin? It’s supposed to be good stopping spam registrations.

this works great!

admin-ajax.php is a core WordPress file.

I’ve searched for the phrase “new-review-button” in the BuddyPress code, and it doesn’t exist in BuddyPress. Perhaps it’s introduced by some other plugin on your site, but only when BuddyPress is active? I don’t know.

What other plugins and themes are you using?

There was a bug in the WordPress.org repository that caused some installations to see BuddyPress 2.0 as the currently available version. If you need to switch back to 1.9.2, download the zip file, and upload it to your plugins directory.

Let us know if you need any other help, and sorry for the problem.

I used it on a site with BP 1.9 and it worked OK. What doesn’t work for you? Have you tried raising a support request on the plugin’s forum? https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-like

Yes, you can use the BuddyPress Like plugin to do that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

The wording can be changed via the admin area.

The WPMU one is good, I use that in tandem with Buddypress on one of my sites – there’s a range of other goodens too that might be worth a look at – http://www.ventureharbour.com/membership-plugins-for-wordpress/

Thanks for the feature request. At this time BuddyPress only provides visibility settings for individual profile fields. We’ve been putting off building a robust member to member permissions component until after we have attachments. Right now, everything in BuddyPress is loosely considered public.

Remember that BuddyPress is still powered by WordPress, and WordPress’s roles and capabilities system isn’t really powerful enough or scalable enough to handle permissions for millions to millions of users.

That said, there have been plugins that attempted to fill this void, but none of them gained a whole ton of traction unfortunately. We’ll get there, but it’s a bit of a long road.

Hi, I am facing similar 404 error. I am running wordpress 3.8.1 with buddypress 1.9.2 plugin. The front pages are working fine but the buddypress pages, including register pages are showing 404 error.
I found this solution for APACHE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9zESEfNzSQ but I am on Windows.

What @boonebgorges said.

BuddyPress’s URI router came from a much older codebase, in a time where BuddyPress was intended to be bolted on top of a WordPress Multisite installation similar to WordPress.com, and not much else. Once that was achieved, we quickly saw the potential in it being something much more powerful (to a larger audience) by quickly iterating away from that original goal, making it work on single-site WordPress, and refactoring the individual components to be less dependent on each other, and only dependent on a core set of common functionality — part of which was the URI router.

We’ve recently chopped two large pieces out of BuddyPress core and turned them into separate components: Settings and Notifications; and we’ve taken huge strides and helped simplify the getting-started process with making it theme agnostic. Bigger ideas like attachments, permissions, and deeper WordPress integration (both in wp-admin, and it’s API’s) is something we continue to improve with every release. Rewrite rules just so happens to touch every component, every file, and every page request, so it’s a refactor that is going to take several months of architecting before it’s complete (similar to theme compatibility.)

Basically… we’ll get there, and there is a plan. It’s been said that before creating David, Michelangelo stared at a block of marble for 8 hours a day, for 4 months, before making his first chip into it. Not trying to compare ourselves to prolific artists or anything, but the idea is the same in that we’re all staring at a huge codebase and coming up with our own map of how to approach the problem.
