@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.
Ok, so I have successfully created a custom members loop within a normal WordPress page. A weird issue is, if I set the type to something like ‘popular’ or ‘newest’ it might only return one result, when I had set the max to two. There are eleven test members so it there must be at least 2 newest members and 2 most popular.
Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?
<?php if ( bp_has_members(bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ).'&include=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10&max=2&type=newest' ) ) : ?>
You’ll have more chance by asking for this on the plugin support ! 😉
Basically Ive been asked to fix this field problem on someone elses website, Ive just been given access to FTP so can now make changes to the server files.
They are using a theme called Huddle and have BuddyPress install on the latest version:
http://themeforest.net/item/huddle-wordpress-buddypress-community-theme/835549
The theme folder has a members folder in for BuddyPress, which i assumed was the standard for BuddyPress. I have overridden the templates you suggested in /themes/huddle/members/single and the issue is still present.
I switched to a default WordPress theme to test compatibility and the fields are working like normal. So the issues is with the Huddle theme, now that its using the correct profile-loop and edit templates im not sure what the problem can be?
Hi @rosyteddy,
since BP 1.7 theme compatibility was introduced, which allowed the use of almost every theme on a BP powered site. Previously, you could practicaly only use bp-default theme. Since bp-default was removed (7569) from the install package, that theme lives his own life. A few time later, it was decided to publish the source code of the bp-default custom theme used on bp.org…
I wonder then why BP is not releasing this as a default theme for BP!
Don’t wonder ! Because devs wanted to concentrate on their plugin, not on a specifical theme. It tooks hard working to isolate bp-default. And certainly not to introduce a new one today. 😉
You have access to the source code. You’re free to use it and to skin it to your needs.
If you don’t see colors or any other elements, you have to check your work and redo it if you comes if you have errors or omissions.
Difficult to tell you what you did wrong. IMO nothing, but if you’re mixing your theme and bp-default à la bp.org, you missed probably somethings.
If you don’t know how to do this, you can hire somebody on BP Job Board forum.
Hi @alexterchum and @sbrajesh
I think Alex is right.
The other BuddyPress Notifications disappears when user visit the page.
Also the others notifications generated with the others plugins that sbrajesh has developped (BP Group Activities Notifier and BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier) run well.
For example if the USER A send a message to USER B, USER B receive one notification.
When USER B visit the page whin the message (http://URLWEBSITE/members/USER-NAME/messages/view/xx/) – clicking in the notification or by other way… – the notification will be dissapear.
Also in the page http://URLWEBSITE/members/USER-NAME/notifications/, when user visit the page with the message, the message automatically will go to the section UNREAD and it is not necessary that the user must to mark as READ the message in order to dissapear the notification.
I have the same problem with FORUM notification (using https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-forum-notifier).
sbrajesh, can you solve the problem in the plugin “BuddyPress Notify Post Author on Blog Comment”?
Thank’s very much
I’m running WordPress 4.1.1 and BuddyPress 2.2.1. I’m trying to create a private forum for my friends. I don’t just want to have open registrations that are manually approved. I don’t want anybody to be able to sign up at all unless they have been invited. Thus, I want my registration page to ask for an invite code. Does anybody know of a relatively recently updated plugin that does this?
Unfortunately, BAW Easy Invites and Secure Invites are pretty out of date. BAW EI itself doesn’t even work with BP, you need a dev version that could be even less out of date.
WP-Invites works, but I don’t quite like some things about it. It doesn’t give you any option to delete codes (they have to be used or just expire to go away), and I wish I could change the text that appears on the registration page.
(If a link to my site is necessary I can provide it, but to be clear, I’m not asking for help with anything currently running on my site. I only want to find a plugin like I describe that supports or at least works okay with WP 4.1.1 and BP 2.2.1. The site is private, and I’m attempting to avoid spreading it around too much to avoid the attention of attackers.)
Ideas plugin : Please see https://wordpress.org/plugins/ls-buddypress-activity-plus-tabs-extension/
This does it for the Groups only, can you please use the code to do it for the member profile page, that is, an Images tab on the member profile. Thanks.

I have a few posts created, and have created comments on those posts.
When I go to /activity to see the activity stream, I am experiencing a few issues with content not appearing as expected.
1) The dropdown menu on the activity page does not change the display when I select an option — I can select Everything, Posts, or Comments and the display does not refresh accordingly. (When I look at the /members page and make selections from that dropdown, the page refreshes reordered by last active/alphabetical/newest registered, so I’m expecting a similar page refresh on dropdown selection from the Activity dropdown.)
2) Lots of times I will go to /activity and get the message “Sorry, there was no activity found. Please try a different filter” — this is from the top level of the activity feed, and I absolutely know there IS activity to show. Even after I clear the browser cache, I get this message. This problem seems to happen sporadically, I can’t seem to find a hard and fast way to reproduce it — but it occurs often enough to be a showstopper for me.
I looked through the forum and didn’t see any solutions. I did make sure that “discourage search engines from indexing the site” was unchecked, as I saw some posts that were possibly related to that.
Are there other settings I need to adjust? Please advise.
This is likely an issue with necessary changes BP had to make setting is_page() to zero for BP pages, sadly causing a WP bug to manifest, WP has been patched to handle this issue.
You can apply this patch to WP core in advance of it being released to correct the problem – if that is this is the issue.

Hey, I could be using the wrong view and edit templates as they do not look the same as the profile pages on buddypress.org.
I do not have full access to replace files on the server manually, I have updated WordPress and BuddyPress to the latest versions.
Do I need to manually replace the legacy files on the server with these files?
https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/tree/master/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress
I thought this would correct itself when the plugin is updated.
I have a wordpress website with enfold theme.
I had created a local host replica with bitnami of the website after importing the contents
no pligins are active except buddypress.
but while registering a new user, nothing happens, just shows weak password notification while typing password. i had used alphanumeric while creating password for the registration , but why?
I ran across this the other day, and it’s been ticketed and will be looked into:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6167
So sorry to bother you all with this issue, I cant seem to figure out.
Profile images are not showing up when one visits a users page, however the show up in widgets and in forum posts.
Inspecting the element gives a 400(bad request), this is due to the way the resizing is foramtted:
‘resize=-30%2C-30’ when inserting into the image location. This can be seen by following this link
Without the resize argument the image does in fact display correctly, Its annoying but I don’t know how to address this issue.
Any advice or instructions would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for your time.

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
