@amedic – check your permalinks.. wordpress ->settings -> permlainks – make sure they are not set to default.. maybe change them anyhow, save.. change to pretty permalinks (like /postname) save again.
MAke sure there is no notice at the bottom of that screen when you click save – some servers will have a notice at bottom of screen saying “wordpress can not write to your htaccess file, please copy this code and manually update your htaccess) –
Hey There
I am looking for a little help with BuddyPress user roles. I am working on a site (domain reference: http://217.199.187.200/lovethelittleguys.co.uk/ and using WordPress version 4.2.4 along with BuddyPress version 2.3.2.1
This site will be a member site with 2 types of customer. The first member is categorised as a business user. The second member is categorised as a customer.
Basically I need to be able to use all the features of BuddyPress for the business members (which I can and have no problems with) and just a search ability for the Customer members. So to be clear, all Customer Members will not have access to their own BuddyPress Profile. I just want them to be able to view Business Members profiles however not have one of their own.
Is there an easy option for this?
I first thought of using a role defining plugin, however I am struggling to figure this out.
Any help would be great =)
Thank you in advance…
Hello
I have a theme that looks great but not set up for buddy press. I would like to use a buddy press theme that would work well with my site.
I would like to have the buddy press theme only on buddy press
How can I achieve that ?
Thanks
I tested the snippet on Buddy theme, so i’m pretty sure you have a user menu. This menu is on WP’s Toolbar. You see it when you’re logged in.
To choose an item position, you have to do it differently, as explained here:
[Resolved] Position Notification Counter Bubble after Specific Navigation Tab ID
For more about menu handling and functions, see WP Codex, as this is not really related to BuddyPress. Now it’s your turn to work a little !
Years ago, I set up an install of Buddypress for a client. They’ve now come back and want me to update it to the current version.
The site is currently running BP 1.7.2 on WordPress 3.5.1. I know this isn’t going to be painless — I know things will break. And I’ve been working with WP for years, so I’ve gone through the upgrade to white screen fun enough times to expect that and to not panic when it does. Still I’d like to minimize the cursing and tearing out of my hair and hope that somebody here has lessons learned the hard way that’ll help.
For example, would it make any sense for me to upgrade incrementally (e.g, from 1.7.2 to 1.8 to 1.9, etc)? I’m assuming I’d begin by upgrading WordPress fully, too, but maybe I go back and forth incrementally upgrading WP then BP until I get to current versions? Or do I just install newest version of wp, upgrade DB as necessary, then do the same for BP?
I’ll back everything up so I’m not terribly worried about losing data. Just, as I say, hoping that somebody might have tips to help minimize the number of times I have to start over.
Thanks much, everybody.
Special thanks to Brajesh Singh at Buddy Dev for coming up with a solution!
change css with php in wordpress / buddypress
Check also that your site has the minimum requirements for WP and BP.
PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
MySQL version 5.0.15 or greater
php_memory_limit 32 mo / 64 recommended if BP and some other plugins
htaccess must contain RewriteEngine On
Much more here: https://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start
@toggerybob – if you did all that and nothing is working – I would delete everything and do a fresh install of wordpress first. Then Bp..
you could backup your stuff you got now – zip files and such… but your site is basically blank right now – so a fresh install, deleting all your old wordpress files and connecting to a new blank database may be the easiest way to hash this out.
@toggerybob
change your permalinks to pretty permalinks in the wordpress settings,
then activate bp.. then go run through the config / page associations (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/ )
should be good to go at that point.. you may need to create a few blank “pages” like activate and register – or they may populate…
we have created sales improvement based tool for manufacturer and retailers at digitalized customer engagement sales tool. now we have planned to use both wordpress for cms management and buddypress for social mangement. how was it possible to manage with windows server?
Could it be possibly caused by other plugins?
Yes, it’s possible, but i doubt it’s the case. To get sure, you can deactivate all plugins except BP and track down a culprit.
If the page or the whole site is blank after adding custom code, it’s generally due to missing tags or a php error.
Errors can also be generated by software who modify the file format. For example if you use the WP editor to add something to bp-custom, and you’re on the visual tab, you get weird results. Same thing if you edit bp-custom locally with Word or other such text-editor….

How to control the Group and Profile sub nav tabs?
I am using the latest WordPress and Buddypress versions.
I am trying to control the visibility of the sub nav tabs. At the moment the standard behavior is that the Settings tab is only visible to the owner of the profile.
How do I make it so that the Friends tab is also only visible to the owner? (Not visible to logged out people and other members)
Assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

haha, @hnla <3 the side effect of wp’s teaser:
One central account.
One unified admin area.
One click install.
… how long whould it take to finally repair & make this forum and codex pages to work correctly, with a clear admin ?
2008 – BuddyPress is born.
2015 – shoemaker’s son always goes barefoot !
Hi Hugo, I created bobbingwide and herbmiller on wordpress.org on 21st Dec 2010.
My other ID, vsgloik came later, on 30th Apr 2012.
For each account I can see the Create New Page link, but it leads to You attempted to access the "BuddyPress Codex" dashboard, but you do not currently have privileges on this site. etc
The Visit Dashboard link tells me You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
This smacks very much of WordPress TRAC 29714, a duplicate of 22895.
@lo133 – there are many, many reasons for NOT..
but in case you are looking to do such (a horrible thing for your site, your users, their privacy, crappy buttons cluttering up..)
A quick search via startpage.com shows there are several discussions about this and it appears that multiple people have discussed and come up with ways to do such a (n evil) thing..
including.. https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-social/
discussions for doing this with various methods outlined from three years ago – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/share-activity-on-social-network/
I would imagine there are some updated options as well, or it should be simply to tweak existing code that is already in the wild and gpl to do this today.
of course you could also search the forums here and find more info about that more than likely – and a search in the wp-repo may bring up some free options to test that may do exactly what you are describing.
I myself am glad this stuff is not included in core – as I would be searching for ways to remove every single last little bit of any third party code / assets and or dependencies..
kind of like what needs to be done with recent updates of wordpress core – removing google fonts, removing gravatar, third party emoji, blah blah. meh.
Hey thunksalot
You have to upload widgets to your theme directory, never modify the contents of a plugin directory.
So e.g. add a “widgets” directory in your theme directory and upload it to there. Then you should see a “Smart BuddyPress Sitewide Notices” widget in the WordPress backend. Activate that and disable the default one.
hi there,
i have installed 2.3.2.1 on my latest WordPress 4.2.4.. whenever i try to access my profile or any link from the Tool-bar it gives me a error.. here is the link to the image.. also i have attached the image in this message
[IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/2mg4e1c.jpg[/IMG]
please assist i got to launch asap
A similar recent thread with some info: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/create-new-login-widget/
So we are clear, a regular “wordpress login widget” IS a buddypress login when you have BP installed.. (99% sure on this)
@wpguru6
you MAY have a “bp login widget” under widgets in themes-appearance-widgets and not need to get into the actual php codes.. and there are plenty of other addons in the wp-repo as well ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=login+widget )
add a custom post or video with another widget perhaps?
@gioabove5k
Should be no big deal..
if you are sure you permanently deleted them (also emptied the trash in wp or whatever) – then just create a 5 new pages.. register, activity, groups, activate, members.
each one blank – check to see if wordpress makes your new pages “register-2” or not – if so – you may have just deleted the page, and not actually permanently removed it via the trash thing…
then go into your components settings and make sure the things are linked there –
Configure BuddyPress
no big deal at all
Hello,
What is the proper way to display dropdown profile field data in other places like the profile header?
Here’s what I’ve written so far (works with text fields and checkbox fields):
add_filter( 'bp_do_register_theme_directory', '__return_true' );
function my_directory() {
if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )
if ( $memberRoles2 = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Starting', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
echo '<h5 class="adneed">';
echo '<span class="adneedcontent">';
echo 'starting';
echo '</span>';
foreach ( $memberRoles2 as $memberRoles2 ) {
echo '<div class="roles">';
echo $memberRoles2;
echo ', </div>';
}
echo '</h5>';
endif;
add_filter ( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'my_directory' );
This is the error I get:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/tvfilmpa/staging/2/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 139
Any help regarding this issue is greatly, greatly appreciated!
If you see I don’t have a profile there. I don’t know if this has to do with the new updates of wordpress??? Also activity is is not showing or groups.
I had BP-Cover working and it was looking nice.
Salaam !
