Thanks so much for documenting this rcain. I’m set up in a local server development environment (obviously not advertising to search engines) and was trying to figure out why the WP comments were not showing up in the BP activity stream! You just saved me a lot of time!!

@fearracious glad you resolved the issue on your own 🙂
Marking this as resolved.

@carolinecalvert what theme are you using? Some themes have page titles which are not within the WP loop, hence BP cannot automagically insert the “Create Group” button beside the page title as seen https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/groups-directory.png

On way is to create a link when user is logged in. You only need to append /create/ after your site’s group directory url, e.g. http://example.com/groups/create/

In upcoming BP version, the create a group link will also be added to the Member’s navigation in WP toolbar. If you’re adventurous, you can add the code to have those links already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7062

bp rss feeds can definitely be erratic, we are working on it:

well i know that we are working on the feeds i have definitely seen erratic behavior in the bp rss feeds:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5020

Thanks @ubernaut for keeping us updated. Most of my feeds are working now with the exception of one. It sounds like generally there’s alot of buggyness across wordpress with regards to feeds and with similar mime type error messages showing not only in Buddypress

@kalanstar I don’t have Jet Pack and WordPress SEO by yoast in the installation mentioned above.

I would like to merge my members Profile with the author “profile” geotheme is imposing us. I would like to remake the whole members page and setting too.

@delarnmini customizations for a premium theme is beyond the scope of the assistance we provide at BuddyPress forums. Contact theme developers for assistance or you could hire a developer to assist you at http://jobs.wordpress.net or at https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/

@compassseeker BuddyPress pages work automagically with nearly all WordPress themes. I hope you did not install and run the BP Template Pack plugin as it’s no longer needed in BP 1.7 above.

there are definitely some known issues regarding rss feeds and we are working to overhaul the entire system in the next version of buddypress more info can be found here:

I’m not sure if this is the problem but I have had issues similar to this in the past. It’s to do with the phone/cameras orientation and it’s EXIF data. This won’t fix the images for users who have already uploaded avatars but all subsequent image uploads should be sorted.

Let me know if that helps

I want to mention, that I no longer needed this code once I set my time in wordpress using UTC instead of the city. It fixed the issue right up.

So I went to wp-admin -> settings -> general ->Timezone

and used UTC time instead of the city.

take a look at cubepoints: https://wordpress.org/plugins/cubepoints-buddypress-integration/

@haies
You can add the below code to your themes functions.php or bp-custom.php
You can change “profile” in the below code to whatever page you need if profile is not the page you want the user to be redirected too.

function custom_login_redirect_to($user_login, $user) {
	bp_core_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . "/profile/" );
}
add_action('wp_login', 'custom_login_redirect_to', 10, 2);

There is also a plugin that you could try but it hasn’t been updated in over a year:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

@shreyachaudhary re backups – Read
– https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup
There’s also a plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/

Can’t see how deactivating BP Login Redirect plugin could affect those customizations. Did you follow instructions on how to customize labels at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ ?

I was wrong to use bp template pack?

@prn86 As of BP 1.7, BuddyPress is compatible with almost all WordPress themes without installing BP Template Pack plugin. Did you check your BP pages first, e.g. Members and Groups, before installing BP Template Pack plugin?

If not, deactivate BP Template Pack plugin then delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your gameleon theme folder in server during the Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

thats not very helpful is it? please understand everyone who posts here is a volunteer like any open source project. we are working on this bug currently (today in fact) you can see that here:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4564

Which is not terrible of and by itself (these are BP-compatible plugins for WP). But I agree, there needs to be a way to separate out “Plugins for BuddyPress” (things that actually extend the functionality of BuddyPress) from “WordPress plugins that work with BuddyPress”

i’m pretty sure that’s what the plugin modemlooper made does:
