Hello I have a problem that I need help with. When someone goes to upload videos, they can select multiple categories. I don’t want this because what happens is that people will select all categories just so their video shows up on the home page multiple times under the different genere’s. I tried to download some wp plugin called ONE CATEGORY but it had no effect.
Can someone help me fix it so that they can ONLY select one category for their video. Even if it’s custom programming, I’ll page. Site is clichetv.tv but you can’t see the upload video page unless your registered but easy enough problem to understand.
Thanks.
Hello
Wordress 4.1.1
Buddypress 2.2.1
I have two issues with the members registration.
1. I would like to hide the username on the registration form. I would like the user to register with his email, lastname, firstname. I created a firstname field and I use the name field as the lastname.
But I can’t remove the username. I understand that this field is mandatory and very useful for wordpress so it can’t be removed but can I hide it? or fill it with a random value?
I tried to put the email address as the username but after it is used in the URL of the profile and I don’t want the member email to be displayed.
For me the better solution would be to fill the username with a random value and replace it with the user_id once the user is created but I don’t know how I can do this.
2. On Buddypress if I understand well, it is the display name which is displayed everywhere. How can I insert in the display name field the name + first name I ask in the regsitration form?
Thank you very much for your help.
Actually you have a single install with BuddyPress with N members and activities.
Nothing will be deleted if you activate the site as network.
That said it’s strongly recommended to dump your DB before doing this.
For a better overview of the DB, see here
The BP tables are the same on MS as on a single install, and WP adds only new tables for each blog and only if you create one at least.
WP’s user table stays intact in any case, like bp activities and others related to members (profile, message and so on).

Welcome to the buddypress debug club ! Please open a ticket and give details about your install and any step to reproduce the issue. Add also a link to this topic.
Go here and use same login as on this forum.

If you don’t know how to post a ticket on a wiki page, read here first.
Sorry but i’m unable to reproduce that. I don’t have notices or warning about this issue.
Can’t you make a test with the trunk version ? (direct link to zip – BuddyPress is in the src folder)
hi @daethian,
if you’re using BP 2.2, don’t use the “old” bp-default theme.
If you have FTP access, your wordpress should be at the site root if you want to use BuddyPress. If it’s you who created the /wp/ folder and if you haven’t any other site on the same account you don’t need it. Install wordpress directly at the root ! Mostly in a folder named www or htdocs (ie. htdocs/wp-admin, htdocs/wp-content/, htdocs/wp-include/)
But let’s say it’s correct for now.
Connect to your site and go to admin
On WP dashboard> General ensure you entered WP URL and site URL correctly (hxxp://your-site.xxx) without trailing slash (normally the same URL)
Then dashboard > Appearence>Theme and activate Twenty Fifteen
Then dashboard > Settings > Permalinks > anything but default
Then dashboard > plugins and deactivate/reactivate BuddyPress
Then dashboard > Appearence > Menu > screen option (top right), check buddypress and add the BP menu to Twenty 15
See if it works.
If not, you’ll have to setup WP correctly at first.
Return to FTP, move WP to the root, erase htaccess and wp-config and restart the installation
your-site.xxx/install
Re enter your DB name, psw and all other information needed for installing WP.
Your DB and actual content won’t be erased (but you can make a dump before, in case of).
5mn install later, you are invited to login. And you have to do what i’ve explained previously.

I just setup a fresh WordPress install and installed BuddyPress only on another operating system. Still getting the same errors.
Wow stunning ! Are you on a local server ? MS or single install ?
Could be that something went wrong during upload.
Erase the BP folder and add a new copy.
And remove your theme from the theme directory while testing with Twenty.
@danbp
I just setup a fresh new WordPress install and installed the BuddyPress plugin. The error is appearing here as well.
Its been a few years since I’ve worked with BuddyPress. Today I installed the plugin and clicked on the Activity section and BAM! PHP errors:
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/newarmy/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php(138) : runtime-created function on line 6

Warning: usort() [function.usort]: Array was modified by the user comparison function in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/newarmy/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php on line 138
Any idea what might be going on?
Using WordPress version 4.1.1
I am having the same issue. The regular WordPress search box will not display any content from my Groups page. I think it is hilarious that when I go to create a group, under settings the public and private options say that group content will show up in search results. I have tried relevanssi and that didn’t help.
How and for what does BuddyPress us cookies for.
One of my corporate clients ran IBM Security AppScan against a WordPress install with BuddyPress and it is returning low-risk security warning for Client-Side (JavaScript) Cookie References.
Specifically, it cited this file:
buddypress/bp-core/js/jquery-cookie.min.js/
Is this used for login functionality or something else as well? The security guy wants it removed, but is there a safe way to remove it, and how much is going to break if we do?
@rosyteddy,
snippets published on the forum are generally related to a specific topic/question. And of course, dependant of theme and/or bp version, if not php or mysql or server settings. Over the time, they stop working or can’t be used anymore because the Core changed or because of other evolutions….
Despite having a kind of snippet store accessible by forum menu seems to be a usefull idea, it is not. Each usage case is different and can not be extended to all case. FYI information, i had the same idea a few years back, and was quickly discouraged to do so by our Core dev. I was first disapointed, but i finally had to admit they where right. And today, i’m absolutely persuaded and on the same line.
That’s why you have Codexes. For WP, BP or bbP with general explanation of default usage and more rarely, with usage examples. If you find a snippet example in Codex, in 95% of cases, you have to adapt it to your personnal usage.
To answer your question, as you know, BuddyPress is (only) a WordPress plugin. When installed, the site continue to work with WordPress and WP dashboard. Nothing is modified in WP Core, only that BP was added to the site. As a plugin.
How to handle WordPress is explained and widly documented in his Codex.
Menu management, CPT management or how to modify menu items on Toolbar or Admin bar is also documented. And the’re so many sites giving WP tips (from excellent to awfull), you can read.
What do your WP settings page ‘general’ show for urls, specifically ‘Site Address (url)’? Did you check the values here after the change over?
WP codex guide on this aspect:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
Did you also visit the permalinks page under ‘settings’, just to ensure permalinks are re-freshed?
This is really a WP support issue as the problems rest with how WP is configured rather than issues specific to BuddyPress working.
So my webhost told me that I installed my wordpress/buddypress wrong (even though it’s been working great for two years) and they moved it to the root of my domain where it had previously been installed in a /wp/ sub directory.
So most of the site works expect the permalinks to my pages are wrong. I manually created a new menu to get past this for now but is there some way to fix this by editing a file somewhere?
Also registration is broken. No clue what is up but the ‘submit’ or whatever button it would be to actually send your registration request is missing.

Hi @danbp Thanks.
I asked there a long time ago 🙂
https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-submitted-posts/
I’m using a plugin, within the plugin it asks you to assign an authors name to the submitted posts, which obviously is required for wordpress. On the frontend the name chosen by the author is displayed on the post using <?php the_author(); ?>.
I’m trying various ways around this, such as adding text to the content but I’m a total newbie with all coding and wordpress. I don’t care if the username is linked anywhere or any other information is displayed, I’d just like to be able to use the <?php the_author(); ?> line on the activity stream but I know its not that simple.
Thanks for the reply danbp,
The Theme I am using is KLEO by Seventh Queen
Buddy Press version Version 2.2.1
I am looking to hide menu items for non logged in visitors in members profiles See example here.. I want to have only the “media” menu and possibly the documents icons viewable to non logged in visitors.
I would like all icons viewable to only those members that are logged in.
Thanks

@tendersqatar Enfold is a premium WordPress theme which we have no access to so it would purely be guesswork to assess what’s going on in your installation.
Please change to the Twenty Thirteen or Twenty Fourteen theme and check if registration is working in your local installation. If you encounter the same issue using those themes, could you give a step by step instruction on what you did and where in the registration process the error occurred.
for some reason my nav bar (which has dropdowns to sub-pages of the site) doesn’t work properly
@themusicbusinessnetwork For this issue, please contact the theme developer as we have no access to the premium theme.
… where I can’t set up user registration properly. I have the fields setup but something with the pages that I direct them to don’t work
Could you please clarify what you mean by “pages that I direct them to”? Are you referring to template redirect after submitting registration form or something else?
I also am having issues updating the Theme. WordPress is giving me an error message saying the data is already there and it can’t install.
As mentioned above, we have no access to the premium theme. But to help you find the possible causes, change to Twenty Thirteen or Twenty Fourteen theme, are the issues resolved or still there? That way, you could provide the theme author more information about the issue. Recommend that you share what shows up in error logs.
Hello, I would like to know how to synchronize custom post type comments and activity stream comments. What I mean when somebody comment on the cpt page then comment should appear on the activity stream, and backward if somebody comment cpt activity post then comment should appear on cpt page. Also question is it possible to add featured image of cpt to activity? And one more question in the activity stream link to cpt showing url with parameters ?p=, but if you go to this page there is normal url (user friendly). Thank you
