Hi,
I am quite new to wordpress and buddypress. I have installed WP 4.2.1 and BP 2.2.3.1 on a subdomain. I have also installed the buddyboss theme. When users click to register i get a “internal server error”
I have tried deactivating the Buddyboss theme but this error still occurs. But when i deactivate Buddypress users can register with no issues at all. I can also create users from wp-admin without any issues.

Thanks in advance
Hello there,
I am writing as since wordpress updated last night apparently our groups and members in buddy press disappeared. As you imagine this is a quiet serious matter, and after having deactivated all the other plugins still all the Buddypress pages is blank.
The theme we are using includes buddypress support, so I was quite disappointed with that!
I contacted the theme already, but if anyone has had the same experience I’d love some more help.
Theme here:

Hi @medianp,
just tested the plugin on a local network install and it works.
There is just a little count error (missing arg 2) in one of the file.
To solve this, add $count at the end of line 107 in bp-community-stats.php
$count = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT count(a.id) FROM {$bp->activity->table_name} a WHERE type = 'activity_update' AND a.component = '{$bp->activity->id}'", $count ) );
Plugin author warned: Total Posts and Comments not support in multisite/network mode
Search the WP plugin repo to get the missing stats.
Hi !
I’m looking for a widget or code which can do the same thing as the Buddypress community stats plugin, displaying stats like in this right sidebar :

The problem is that I’m running Buddypress on a multisite and this one is not working.
Thank you !
Hi, I had seen that article but then couldn’t find the plugin within wordpress so was unsure of using it. I will give it a go though if that’s the only solution available, thanks.
UPDATE
——-
Just tried uploading it to wordpress but get errors and looking at the comments on the page of the plugin looks like it hasn’t worked since 2012/13. 🙁
Hi,
I noticed that on my BuddyPress site, if a logged-out user views the site from a desktop browser, there is a “Register” and “Login” link displayed on the toolbar.
However, on a mobile phone, there is only a plain black bar when viewed in portrait mode, and only the WordPress icon on the left if viewed in Landscape mode. The links are missing from the toolbar.
This is regardless of the theme used.
How may I get the links to show up on the mobile browser?
Thanks.
Hi @winnergirl
Does BuddyPress require its own independent WP site?
No. BuddyPress works just like any other plugin you might install on your WordPress website. You should just be able to click ‘activate’.
I have a current WordPress site that I am trying to build that already has content and plugins. I tried to install BuddyPress but it conflicts. Does BuddyPress require its own independent WP site? If so, should I create a subdomain site? That would be a subdomain to my add-on domain. LOL Thanks in advance!
Current site is an add-on domain. Until adding BuddyPress, going good.
Primary is WebSellersLunchClub.com, DW not WP. No subdomains.
Current Site has several plugins including Web 2.0 Directory.
Theme: Twenty Eleven – Child
WordPress 4.1.2
BuddyPress 2.2.3.1

Hi,
The activation link just took me to the homepage. Ideally it would auto log you in and take you to the activity or profile page. Is this possible?
If not I would be happy to simply have a message on the homepage saying, “Your account is now activated. Please login here”. Does anyone know how this would be implemented?
Have searched but not found anything of use. Thanks
Wordpress v4.1.2, Buddypress v2.2.1
@quaelibet and @danbp can you provide details of how you setup a vhost? I googled and have been able to setup a vhost but it only access the xampp page and not the wordpress page.
My host file contains the following:
127.0.0.1 buddypress.local
::1 buddypress.local
My httpd-vhosts.conf file contains the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
#DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/buddypress.local
ServerName buddypress.local
</VirtualHost>
when i run the URL: http://buddypress.local, it resolves to http://buddypress.local/xampp/ page
but when I run the URL http://buddypress.local/wp (my wordpress folder name is ‘WP’) it says page cannot be displayed. this is in internet explorer.
kindly help.
I am using Cinematix (http://themeforest.net/item/cinematix-buddypress-theme/4959387) and haven’t customised it in any way.
I have found the default HINT for wordpress is the following:
<?php _e(‘Hint: The password should be at least seven characters long. To make it stronger, use upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols like ! ” ? $ % ^ & ).’); ?>
I assume this is what is being used? If so I can just add this password hint but what file do I need to edit?
Many thanks for your help.
My site is http://www.testsitetuan.com/, using Evole theme, for testing WP function,
but in the Dashboard of the back-end of my site is always appear this sentence: “Each BuddyPress Component needs its own WordPress page. The following WordPress Pages have more than one component associated with them: Comunity. Repair”.
I don’t know how to repair.
What should I do?
Thank you.

I am running the current versions of everything as of today’s date… BuddyPress 2.2.3, bbPress 2.5.7 on WordPress 4.1.1
The problem I am having is that, for the most part, I only want either Public or Hidden groups with their associated forums.
The directory listing only displays the public groups and the forums only display the public forums.
As a Site Admin and Keymaster, I can’t even see the hidden groups (although the count increases to show the additional number of hidden groups). In fact, none of the hidden groups show under the ‘My Groups’ tab for me or any user who is a member of a particular hidden group (although the count indicates that they area member of this non-visible group that they can’t get access to). I can see the forums, however.
Essentially, the Hidden function appears to not be working for groups and forums as neither admins nor members of them can gain access without being provided with the URL.
The Add Friend button continues to be displayed beside every name on the Members page including those who were all ready friended.

Thnak you.
Have you a test site or a local install where you can make some test ?

I tried to change role and other fields in new members, but nothing happened.
On a single regular install, all BuddyPress members have the default role you assigned to new users in WP settings > general. There is nothing to change at this level when they don’t show up on member’s directory.
If you need some fake BuddyPress users and content, i suggest you to use BuddyPress Default Data, which is great to control if anything is working correctly.
Deactivate your theme and all other plugins except BP and use Twenty Fifteen while testing.
Activate also wp_debug in wp-config, and see if you get somme php errors.
hum… difficult to say at t he moment, as you use 2 different site apparently.
hxxp://www.anadercategori.org/ and hxxp://pallavoloromana.it/anadercategori/squadre/test7/
Which site belongs your members to ? Where is buddyPress installed ?
BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.
Read here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/
BP Reshare is a BuddyPress plugin to allow members to reshare their activities !
It wasn’t made to reshare views.
@imath is working on many other porjects, including BuddyPress. So he’s very busy and this plugin is now “old” and need probably some refactoring.
Sorry for you, but don’t expect much at this time.
Consider
https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-articles/
First off, all active BP components should have a assigned page. (mandatory)
This page must be blank, without any template model or parent page.
As you use Twenty Eleven via a child theme, read here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/twenty-eleven-theme/ How to get the sidebar is explained there.
Where is WP installed ?
Site url is vatpt1.thevillageblog.com/
Blog seems to be in /villageatthepark/
I’m looking for the same functionality.
This is what I’ve found so far: https://github.com/imath/bp-reshare
It’s from this post: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/user-activity-share-plugin-for-wordpress-buddypress/
Let’s hope this functionality will get more attention, and implemented.
Have you changed your tables prefix or do you use the default wp_ ?
Do you have a site admin account with “admin” as username ? If yes to both, change this.

I had this honeypot working perfect before. Now I made a custom register page and it’s no longer working for no reason. All I did was move the bp-legacy Buddypress to the /buddypress folder to create a child theme for edits. Everything is working besides the honeypot.
Here’s a link to the code I have in my register page now:
http://www.codeshare.io/yQACc
Buddypress build:
Buddypress Version 2.1.1
WordPress 4.0.1
Using DevDMBootstrap3 theme
I haven’t edited any core files in WP/BP.
Here’s the code I used that worked previously:
// BuddyPress Honeypot
function add_honeypot() {
echo '';
}
add_action('bp_after_signup_profile_fields','add_honeypot');
function check_honeypot() {
if (!empty($_POST['system55'])) {
global $bp;
wp_redirect(home_url());
exit;
}
}
add_filter('bp_core_validate_user_signup','check_honeypot');
Hi there,
I’ve been looking for awsners all day but cant seem to find them.
We use Buddypress on a new website and everything works fine, we love it and will start using it soon when the site goes live.
Problem at this moment is when we head over to the group page, on the right site there is create new groep. Step 1 (works) Titel and description. After this step nothing works we only see go back, move forward button and no information or anything we can enter. When we click on go further we get an error (WordPress error do you wish to continue)
after step 1 we get this:

when we click continue nothing happends (WP error)

I deleted the buddypress plugin and uploaded it again on FTP.
I disabled all other plugins.
Any idea?
I am using WordPress 4.1.1 and just updated to the most recent version of Buddypress, although this problem existed on the version I was using before as well (2.2.1). I am using a custom theme, so it’s possible that is the problem, but I just want to make sure.
The problem that I am having is that when I go to a user’s activity stream and create a new post, and then click on the comment button, a text area appears. But as soon as I refresh the site, the textarea will not reappear–the comment button changes to its hover color (and does not change back) but nothing else changes when clicked. So basically, the only time a user can comment is when the post has been just created and possibly just on his or her own post, it seems. I have been doing some customization in bp-custom, but none of it has related to comments in any way. Do you have any suggestion for where to look for the problem? Honestly, I’d rather the comment textarea just show all the time than have a completely useless comment button.
Otherwise, I’m looking for some insight into what the problem may be or at the very least how the comment button functions. Thanks!
