Hi is it possible to remove buddypress plugin off WordPress?
HI, I hope someone can help me. I have bbpress for our Forum which has bbPress Digest (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-digest/). The plug-in works great but we had to get BuddyPress in order to edit our user profiles. The combo of both is great, but we don’t want to have a group email digest, we want our clients to be able to change it individually like we can with bbPress Digest. I can’t find a way to show the bbPress Digest options (which is edited in the WordPress user profile.) Can someone help with either a solution or potentially look at our setup and suggest a solution?
Hi @pierremaitre
Even if you haven’t disabled the new Widget block editor or are not using the Classic Widget plugin, you can keep BP Legacy widgets using a specific filter, I advise you to read this developer note: https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2022/01/16/legacy-widgets-in-buddypress-10-0-0/
If I understand what you’re asking, you should be able to add profile fields in the WordPress Dashboard under Users->Profile Fields. As long as you set “Visibility” to Everyone, then I believe that Buddypress will display those fields in the person’s profile.
Thanks, but are you answering the question in the subject line, or the question in the body?
Do my existing WordPress users automatically become BuddyPress users?
@mikegillihan thanks for the tip. A default install of the latest WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress has this issue, still.
I was having the same issue; likely reason was my SEO plugin (Yoast SEO) only runs wp_get_user_contact_methods() in wp-admin. I re-registered the contact methods, and the BuddyPress-WordPress Text Fields now save the user contact data.
Hi @vapvarun, below is the error info that I copied from the fatal crash email. Hope it is helpful.

Hi @vapvarun. Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the plugin you suggested. There is another plugin (BuddyPress Activity Shortcode) I have also tried. But both plugins crashed my site upon activation. I have to remove them in safe mode.
Hi!
I am trying to create a shortcode to place the activity loop in a new page, so I can customize and highlight some activities. To start, I inserted the standard loop inside a shortcode function (code as below). But the standard loop failed to show. Just to ensure that my shortcode is ok, I just inserted a “testing 123” text to check.
FYI, I am using BuddyX theme (WordPress version 5.8.3). I test the code below in functions.php before place it into Code Snippets plugin. Currently, the code is still inside functions.php.
I placed the shortcode ([mkp_activity]) in a page (link to the page as below). I also try to place the shortcode in widget area. But the loop just did not appear.
Test Page
function mkp_bp_activity_shortcode() {
$message = 'testing 123';
return $message;
if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) :
while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();
locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false );
endwhile;
endif;
}
add_shortcode('mkp_activity', 'mkp_bp_activity_shortcode');
I am new to this. I am not sure if I am doing this completely wrong. Appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Regards,
CK
I remember seeing on my wordpress dashboard, under the budypress plugin a link so i could bypass the login page and redirect me to the wp-admin login page… can someone help me qith this? i can’t login!!
my website: https://cbppintranet.com/
HELP!!!!
@niccrockett – thanks for pointing this out!
I had never seen or noticed ‘“Activity auto-refresh” under Options in BuddyPress’ settings’
I really hope some kind of slider for seconds.milliseconds can be added to the bp options!
One of my hosts demanded that I add the ‘heartbeat control’ plugin from wp-rocket (free in the wp-repo: https://wordpress.org/plugins/heartbeat-control/ ) in order to keep my wordpress requests down – maybe this can help you in the short term(?)
I found that having two tabs open with 8 wordpress sites being updated on same server was hammering it with requests from all 16 tabs every so many seconds or whatever – the admin-ajax ddosed my own server account and I did not realize it was a thing.
surely some kind of javascript timer could pop up a button /tap to refresh/ kind of thing or something? and then the automated refresh can be turned off.. I’d like that.. think I’m gonna turn it off anyway.
Since this is months old, I’ve already settled back then with the plugin “BuddyPress to WordPress Full Sync” which allows me to sync any arbitary xProfile fields to WordPress fields.
@imath I can confirm by now this works as expected when following your steps. Without being able to verify anymore what my problem was back then, I have a feeling this must have been related to validation as sometimes BuddyPress provides zero feedback when something was wrong. In my current WordPress version (5.8.3), the Twitter field is expected to be a simple username (not full URL / @), other fields like Instagram are expected to be the full URL. So perhaps the issue was that some fields didn’t match validation criteria, so BuddyPress just silently swallowed the input?
Cheers
when filling out register form it just refreshes the page – seems to fail with no error message I can see.
How would I find out what is happening in the browser and on the server to debug?
tried with turning off plugins and back to default theme,
also did the list of things to check from here:
(
– check the WordPress settings allows account to be created (Anyone can register checkbox needs to be active) See: wordpress.org/support/article/settings-general-screen/#membership
– check your permalink settings are using one of the pretty permalink options (not plain), see this documentation page wordpress.org/support/article/using-permalinks/#mod_rewrite-pretty-permalinks
– check the activate and register actions are associated with a public WordPress page. You can find some inputs about it from this documentation page : codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/#settings-buddypress-pages
NB: the registration and activation pages are only displayed to users who are not logged in,
)

had a few other profile fields – then removed them from the base signup and it still fails –
Help greatly appreciated
Just checked https://www.danskeosteopater.dk/find-en-osteopat/members/?s=anders & it seems to work as expected.
If you’re talking about the search form displayed on the right side of your page, it’s not generated by BuddyPress. Have you tried to reach the plugin author of the BP Profile Search plugin there https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-profile-search/ ?
Hi, I’m back 🙂
I confirm this is working as expected. I’ve used this code to generate the Twitter WP Contact method: https://gist.github.com/imath/c634d9bfb575f128d76a25aaa76fc2e5
Then, I’ve created a new xProfile field using the WordPress text field type, as shown in the below screenshot.

Once done, I was able to find the new input inside the user’s profile edit screen on front-end, see screenshot below.

When I’ve submitted my edits, the twitter link was saved successfully and on the user’s profile view screen, it is displayed as a clickable link:

The same goes for the WP Dashboard profile, see below:

Hi,
Just like WordPress PHP8 is ok with BuddyPress, see our PHPUnit corresponding GH action: https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/runs/4734025743?check_suite_focus=true
I am using WOrdpress 5.8.3 I have BuddyPress 9.2.0 I am using Woffice theme
I do get messages that BakeryBuid cannot update and I do not know if that is related to my problem
On the home page banner I have a link to “Activity”. When clicked on it “loads community updates”. However it seems stuck on profile changes from 3 months ago and does not show recent topic changes
In the Dashboard there is an icon for “Activity” and that too only lists activity up to 3 months ago.
How do I refresh the list???
I have been trying to figure this out for quite some time. I really do not understand who, if anybody, would want to destroy every image uploaded to a website. It seems everyone would want nice images. I am running buddyboss, which is built on buddypress, and even the images uploaded to activity feed are absolutely destroyed. Changing wordpress compression quality does nothing. I makes absolutley no sense whatsoever.
Hello everyone 🙂
I wish to remove the whole title (header?) of posted activities of a specific user (algoflash)
I am no developer. I can make use of CSS (child theme) or add something to functions.php, but barely more 🙁
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
The website is https://algomuse.fr
Wordpress 5.8.2 and BP 9.2.0
