Activate wp_debug (set to TRUE) in the wp-config file. This can give you a lot of information about conflict and/or errors.
Is MAMP configured correctly ?

Can you correctly register a user from the back-end ?
To get a page ID, simply mouse over the page title on the page list and you can see it in the bottom left corner of your brower.
Someting like this:
../wp-admin/post.php?post=23&action=edit where “23” is the page ID. This number means post_type ID, so there is no difference between a post ID or a page ID except the post_type itself.

Any user can send a message to the site admin if he use the default sender address: wordpress@yoursite.com
Do you use other plugins as BP ?
Any ideas on what may have caused this ?
That question was answered here.
It’s the user who did it wrong, so guess there is no technical solution.
The “from” wordpress@mysite.com is a default address which redirect to site admin address (the one you indicate when you setup WP).
This can (and should be) changed, as its a common trick used by spammers. Read here how to do this.
I’m happy to be new to this community. I’ve been using phpBB for forums for years, and recently decided to migrate over to bbPress.
I have a medium sized phpBB forum with thousands of topics, so I need to preserve the users and topics.
My setup is a bit strange though – I am using aMember, and this membership program creates an integration between WordPress and phpBB. The result is the same users exist in phpBB as in WordPress.
So, when I attempted to import users and topics from phpBB into bbPress (using import tool that came with bbPress), the forums and topics did import but the users all had “imported_” before their user names. My guess is this was an attempt to prevent duplicate users.
Is there a method to import my forums and topics from phpBB into bbPress, and have the authors of topics and replies synced to the already existing users in WordPress? Thanks for any suggestions.
Weird thing just happened. A private message reply between two users was sent to the admin e-mail (wordpress@mysite.com).
It’s a new site, all of the other private messages have been sent the right way. 😉 This is the first one that for some reason ended up in my e-mail inbox, and I wasn’t even a part of the private message conversation.
Any ideas on what may have caused this? I found two old threads about the same/similar problem, but no solution:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/why-is-site-admin-getting-users-private-messages/
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-messages-sent-to-email/
WP 4.1.1, BP 2.2.1.
I just wanted to confirm to anyone who finds this post later with the same issue (before 2.2.2) that this process worked 100%. Just apply the changes in this link and it should fix your problem, if you happen to use Customizr as your theme of choice:

I am using bbpress along with buddypress in one of my wordpress website. Suddenly for the members pages it is showing “Invalid Options.”. I am not sure whether any changes done by the other admin or not as they are not sure as well. I have tried to search this in different forum but not able to get any such topic. Can any one help me out here?
Presently nothing is showing for the members pages but all other forum pages showing fine. For members pages it showing just a single text “Invalid Options” with out ant theme header or footer on a blank white page.
Thanks
Hi I am a newbie to BuddyPress and WordPress.
I am using WordPress 4.1.1, BuddyPress 2.2.1 with theme Twenty Fifteen (tried with eleven, twelve and thirteen as well)
* I enabled registration for all.
* I went to the BuddyPress settings, left the components at the default settings.
* On the Page tab pages were generated for Members, Activities, Registration and Activation.
* If I press the view button for the registration page I get a blank page displayed with the following url. <host>:<port>/index.php/register/
* If I log out and press the register link the url is <host>:<port>/register/ and I get a 404
I searched your forums and there seems to be a number of people with this or a similar problem but I could not find a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Version 9 and 6 are slightly different and Customizr doesn’t show a complete BP title when you use the latest patch (9). For example, you’ll see just the site name on single activities.
Applying the first one made by imath will probably be the best solution in your situation. I won’t critizise Customizr, but personnally i won’t use it with BuddyPress. Because of this issue, and some others, handled on that theme support. 951,457 downloads maybe say it’s a popular theme, but 245 support pages in one year is something that get me a bit suspicious in term of usage.
There is no miraculous method to apply a patch, and no special tips for that except if you don’t know how to copy/paste code, which i can’t belive is the case 😉
So Codex is your friend to discover some other academic methods like using Tortoise.
For some reason within the backend of my wordpress site, blank pages are being created automatically, all with “(no title)”. The authors are most of the time other users on my site. I have the feeling this has something to do with Buddypress.
Anyone got an idea what’s going on?
Not sure that Customizr is now working 100% with BP (1 year back it wasn’t compatible with BP).
Anyway, issue is related to the theme. FYI, 2015 also doesn’t show up page titles…
To solve this temporarely (until next update), you can apply this patch
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107
I tested v.6107.06 with Customizr and it works !
@lehn6 For clarity, let’s go over some points you made above.
>> I have a multisite network set up and had Buddypress installed on http://www.example.com/subsite1, as in that subsite was where the BP install was placed
So do you have something like this in your wp-config.php:
define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id ); where $blog_id is a the ID number of your subsite
>> UserPro plugin was added and network activated, then subsite1 was improperly deleted
Do you mean subsite1 was deleted by you or developer? How was it deleted? Do you have a database backup of your site before subsite1 was deleted?
>> looking to install BP to the main site and network activate. When I go to do that I find that as soon as I network activate BP the network admin dash and the main site dash are basically the same, where it says I am in the main site dash but none of the pages or posts are displayed.
How are the network admin dashboard and main site dashboard the same? Do you mean you have no access anymore to the Network Admin menus? https://codex.wordpress.org/File:dashboard.png vs https://codex.wordpress.org/File:superadmin-options.png Can you post a screenshot?
Hi all, I know this is probably out of scope for these forums to many users but im asking the question here because im interested in anyones experience with using a cluster of servers for their buddypress setup.
I can see the question has came up a few times about how scalable is buddypress etc, now i do realize true scalability boils down to the hardware and the software config you have to throw at it.
The goal i have set at the minute is to have one dedicated server serving as a dedicated database server, another server acting as a load balancer and 2 other servers running in unity to serve the website itself, now i also want this cluster of servers to be expandable (meaning i can add extra servers into the equation at will, for instance i may want to setup 2 more dedicated servers in future to serve as dedicated file servers for media uploaded by users).
So i have a few questions to those of you that may be in the know,have you any tips or tricks i may need to consider with this kind of setup, do you have any experience using apache mesos and if so would you say this is a good way to go? have you any experience in running memcached with multiple servers running in a cluster as i have read that you can implement memcache to run this way efficiently?, are there any recommended guides or routes i should take that you could suggest to help me explore all of my options?
Thx in advance.
Status of groups is all public, in fact i have no private groups at all, public (2) private (0) Hidden (0) when I go to groups menu.

@rezon8dev,
why can’t you display something on the profile page ? Both snippets are working and display some content. Explain what you’re trying to achieve or test the snippet and give details about things which are not going like you want.
Profiles are showed one a page called Member. This page is part of BP and use the page context of WordPress internally, to generate dynamically BP’s content.
This means you cannot publish directly on this page, like an ordinary WP page. And all BP pages are working like this.
This means you can’t publish directly on them, using wp’s editor. For any specific content you want evtl. to show on a BP page, you have to generate it separatly, by coding a function.
That’s why the example above uses an iframe for the video.
Normaly, when you add a video to a wp post or page, you have just to copy/paste a link and WP does the whole code automatically for you.
But as it is a BP page, this is not avaible and you must add it manually.
More generally, WordPress doesn’t allow any kind of media and you can only show those which are allowed/recognized by the CMS. This rule is explained here and concern any type of site and any plugin, including BP.
It’s unclear: do you have public or private groups ?
– Groups set for public viewing not showing up.
– There are groups on the site which are set for private viewing.
Privacy settings are different for these types of groups.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/ you could try this plugin im sure this plugin lets you rename it to a different url and key of your choice if i remember correctly.
Meaning the plugin allows you to change yoursite.com/wp-admin/ and wp-login to a wording of your choice so only you and anyone you have told knows.
Hello,
I’m running the most current versions of wp/bp and have a theme called KLEO running. I’m attempting to use xprofile fields for my users to add embeds from the included oembed providers in stock wordpress. I have tried share links, iframes and shortcodes and can’t get them to display on a member profile page. The activity stream etc. displays them no problems I just can’t get them to display on any member profile page . Can anyone shed some lite on this for me??
I am using Latest version of Buddypress and WordPress. Also Default Buddypress theme.
Hey there,
I’m using the wordpress theme engine, and I just can’t get the registration to work. I tried all variants now for several hours.
1.) The page redircts to the wordpress registration form, wp-register.php. This isn’t working, it’s giving me a 404.
2.) I made a page called “register” and then added that to the buddypress pages for registration. All what it shows is an empty page without any registration form whatsoever.
I tried everything, reinstalling, deleting it via FTP etc. – nothing helps. Please help me, I don’t know what to do anymore. Obviously, the “allow every user to register” option in the settings is enabled.
@morka – I know you can’t enable / disable comments on those pages (at least from my experience with BP and a few themes / installs, of course with WP just about anything is possible) – You failed to mention if you have the same issue with the default wordpress themes.
Please help? running last version of wordpress and buddypress. I want to stop comments from other activity posts from showing on single member activity feed.
