If I may suggest that instead you add to your robots.txt file some wildcard rules such as:
Disallow: *members/*activity*
Disallow: */activity/p/*

as to where I think it may be possible to pull some info from the activity posts to create page titles and other meta stuff, most activity posts are going to be short in most cases, and having a bunch of new pages indexed (even properly with title and meta stuff) is likely to add little value to your site overall – and in fact might create a situation where a bulk of your site pages are considered “thin content” – which would hurt your seo more than any proper page titles will on activity pages.

Considering you are also asking about methods for adding meta keywords, I think you are looking for SEO help that is waaaaaaay outdated – unless you are going for different search engines aside from the big G, bing / yahoo for some reason – in which case my knowledge of the other spiders and their indexing methods is tiny.

Now if you are trying to get proper page titles on your “groups” and member profile pages, I think that would be a worthwhile effort.

Just a few random suggestions, I am not a BP dev or prof coder yet – others may have different advice.

I think that getting and using this info will be better / easier perhaps about WP 4.4 or whenever they include the REST API in the core – and then it should be easy peazy for themes to pull and use this info – not that it should be rocket science to do it now… however I have had no luck getting help with similar issues on other BP pages in the past.

It usually boils down to BP peeps saying that page title and meta stuff should be handled by your theme.. your theme devs will say they use the standard wp_title function (or something like that – which has been flipped around recently) – and that kind of stuff if you want it to be beyond what is “standard wordpress” should be handled by an SEO plugin… my experience with several SEO plugins has been that they will not get into all the BP “pseudo pages” for whatever reason, perhaps because a taxonomy is not registered for them, and that makes it more difficult.

Random thoughts for ya

Custom code goes to bp-custom.php or child-theme’s functions.php
Code on second answer shows an usage example, it’s not the code you have to use.

As you asked for register details, i thinked you want a resume of the registration with all mandatory xprofile fields information…

BP on a single install doesn’t sent a welcome email. This happens only on a MS install. But you add that manually. Read here:

Send Welcome email to Users when they activate their account on WordPress & BuddyPress Based Social Network

1) depends which type of forum you use (standalone or group forum)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

2) see here how to do that
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/add-dynamic-menu-link/#post-242487

3) i’m not aware of such feature for BP

Try this:

// depending the theme Main Menu, somwhere near Home, About, etc
function bpfr_custom_setup_nav( $items) {
	
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {		
        $items = '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'activity/news-feed/">News feed</a></li>';	
    }
    return $items;
}
// 10 is the priority, 1 is the position in the menu
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'bpfr_custom_setup_nav', 10, 1 );

A plugin isn’t strictly necessary, it’s just the easiest option. Alternatively, you can use the wp_mail_from and wp_mail_from_name hooks.

It is actually the default WordPress from email address and name that are used. If you want to change these, try the WP Change Default Email plugin.

@shayariyadav,

thank you for the suggestion. 🙂

But BP is not a blog plugin, but a community tool. And WordPress has already a blog.

Some use BuddyPress for doing something very different as blogging. Some use it as a blog farm (on multisite).

As plugin, it is integrated to WP, so i doubt that BP devs want to do the opposite. 😉

You can anyway post a future request on Trac

The register process is part of WordPress.

For BP, you can see in
\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php

…but !

the username is already in use is not part of WP or BP.
Do you use an extra plugin ?

@bigswp,

if you have the same config today as @enaijo 5 months ago, update first.
Actually: WordPress 4.2.3 BuddyPress 2.3.2.1 and bbPress 2.5.8-5815

If the issue is still in, ensure that you have some friendship, as you can only invite friends to join a group.

If all this is ok, you can open a ticket.
Give details about your config and any hint about how to reproduce your issue and mention this topic.

Login to Trac uses same credentials as here.

@enad12 – I suggest looking at the plugins in the wp-repo and see if any of them may suit your needs.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=invite

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=facebook

I myself avoid adding anything facebook to any of my sites as much as possible. In the very few places that I did add anything fbook, I would make sure that they loaded all assets from my site and not a third party server – for site speed and privacy issues as well.

for example the “2 Click Social Media Buttons” plugin requires a double click in order to turn on these third party integration / sharing things – and the author has a write (in German that may needs translating) on his site – which is linked to in the plugin descript – that describes some of the laws in Germany and Europe in regards to leaking user info to third parties – so if you are going down that road I would look more into that and whatever laws you may need to follow in your area of the world in regards to those kinds of things.

Hi,

search a bit here: https://wordpress.org/search/admin+bar

also on this forum:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-admin-bar-toolbar-like-on-buddypress-org/
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-org-theme-2/

biographical information, fax and maybe even addresses. These are WordPress or theme specific fields which are not visible on frontend profiles. BP doesn’t use them if you use the xtended profile component.
Anyway…

Try this snippet, and use it to your need from within your child-theme functions.php

function remove_user_fields(){

// Print jQuery that removes unneeded elements
  ?>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
    // the magic goes here...
      var ids = ['#description', '#comment_shortcuts', '#color-picker']; // Check in page source for other ID's
      for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
        $(ids[i]).closest('tr').remove();
      }
    });
  </script>

  <?php
}

add_action( 'admin_footer', 'remove_user_fields' );
