Hello.
I’m about to make a website for my gaming clan. In this clan, different people have different privileges and therefore they should have access to restricted pages. Currently i have come around this issue, by password protection, but is there a way where i could integrate BuddyPress groups instead? So that when i for an example is logged in on BuddyPress, i have access to a restricted page? All not logged in users should have access to the rest of the website, but not the pages restricted pages.
Also, how do i rename the usergroups in both WordPress and BuddyPress? if you even can..
All help is appreciated 🙂

I am using WordPress 4.1 and BuddyPress 2.1.1, the latest versions of both. I use hostinger.co.uk as my webhost. It has always been satisfactory, except the server resources are a bit limited. However, the email activation functions are not working. Emails are not being sent to new registrations, so people cannot activate their accounts themselves, and I have to manually go in and activate it for them. This is very distracting and time consuming, especially when I have to wade through dozens of span accounts to find one legit user. My guess is that it is because of my webhost, but I am not sure how to resolve the issue. Any help would be great.

Do you use the french WordPress install ?
Have you selected “french” as your site language ?
dashboard > settings > general
I figured it out. For some reason WordPress decided it would be a good idea to hide custom menus added to the toolbar(when did they change the name from admin bar?) when viewing it on mobile devices.
If you browse through the WordPress directory you will find the css for the toolbar in wp-includes\css\admin-bar.css.
This line hides everything but the default items from the toolbar.
/* Show only default top level items */
#wp-toolbar > ul > li {
display: none;
}
By changing “display: none” to “display: block”. That fixed the problem i was having.
So hopefully that information is useful to someone.
Oh and one more thing. If you need to modify the toolbars css don’t do it there. You shouldn’t modify WordPress’s core files. Instead you should copy that css to your themes style sheet.
1) Issues with BuddyPics can be reported on the plugin support.

Hi,
I’m using default theme of buddypress and not apply custom functions.
Now I try default theme of WordPress.

Hi there, I am using wordpress 4.1 and buddypress 2.1.1
I have searched the forums and have found only extremely old posts on this topic with no apparent solution.
Is there a way to filter searches based on user profile fields? For example, search based on the custom profile field: “location”? so that my users could see all other users that are in a certain city?
Or a plugin that would do this?
Any clues would be greatly appreciate,
Lost and frustrated,
Monica
@mamtagupta,
did you missed BuddyDrive settings ? See
dashbord > settings > buddydrive (wp-admin/settings.php?page=buddydrive) where you can handle mime types; slugs, max file size upload etc
Once activated the buddydrive access is showing in the usermenu (top right corner)
your-site/members/username/buddydrive/
A user must have uploaded a file to appear on the buddydrive admin (your screenshot is empty) !
A good start point for buddydrive is to read the plugin doc. For any technical question about this plugin, please use the plugin support.
If all this is already checked, as you use many security and cache plugins, i recommand that you check these different settings to track some special authorization who maybe disallow file uploads or that kind of restriction…
Aside, your site is not updated and you use a dangereous sensible (temp admin) username.
Hi!
I am using Buddypress 2.1.1 and WordPress 4.1 with the Plugin Blog Categories for groups. Is there any plugin or other possibility to see the Blog-posts in the Activity-stream? I was searching a while but didn’t find any answer.
Thanks in advance!
If there is not already a way to do this, I would like to request that sites that are listed in BuddyPress have independant avatar just like the groups do. I have a multi-site WordPress install where I am the administrator of many of the sites and my avatar photo shows on each of them.
I would rather have an image meaningful to the site rather than my mug on them. The only other work around I know of is having to create a new user for each site, which is a real annoyance.
Hopefully there is a quick and easy solution to this and I look forward to the answer with the solution.
The page at https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/ states
Multiple WP networks can be created with either:
â–ª WP Multi Network
â–ª Networks+
I use Networks +.
There may also be other combinations of plugins that may work.
Googling “wordpress”, “buddypress” “multi-network” or “multinetwork” should be sufficient to come across the few others that may fall into these categories – such as Networks for WordPress at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/networks-for-wordpress and BuddyPress Multi Network at http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/ .
Examining all of the them as well as studying their support forums would be useful in making a decision on which combination to use for your particular requirements.
Given that a multi-network plugin will essentially hold the entire show together I would venture that it is well worth the research you are now undertaking.
Just to be perfectly clear, I am an open source enthusiast but I am not an open-source absolutist though some are and are perfectly entitled to be.
If something works, saves hours of time when compared with other items, is supported and is reasonably priced I will use it (when my budget allows) and will say so.
But, I can only vouch for what I know works.
I can only vouch for, in this case the plugin I cited above, and the continuous free support over a number of years, which comes from recognised top class developers.
This support alone should ordinarily have cost many $X,00s, bringing the price of said plugin deep into negative figures – i.e considerably less than free.
Hi @jgob
These questions are not related to BP specifically, rather, they apply to WordPress generally. Whilst the guys here may be able to help, you may have more joy asking over at wordpress.org
Activation and registration are WordPress dependant and are not only “BP components”. These pages may not be created automatically, depending your WP settings… But according to the error message, you have now to create them.
I understand that you are a bit confused, as you’re in a discovery phase of BuddyPress.
But you should also understand that i can’t explain step by step the whole Codex (WP & BP!).
I guess you have to read the doc very attentively. Searching the forum or simply reading some topics will also help you to understand how all this is working.
Install first correctly WP and BP and use one of the Twenty theme, the time for you to learn a bit more. Once you’re comfortable with WP & BP, start your theme development.
The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair
means that you haven’t installed correctly this 2 BP’s component pages. Read here to understand how this works:
Configure BuddyPress
BP 2.x is compliant with almost any theme. bp-default theme is no more used and only there for backwards compatibility.
Templates are in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/
I’ve taken a look at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/ but don’t see any mention of templates for activation and registration.
I’m building a theme from scratch using roots which has the templates:
- index.php
- 404.php
- base.php (this is a theme wrapper which injects header, footer etc)
- single.php
- page.php
In the WP dashboard I see the error:
The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair
Where can I find some more info on required theme templates and how to create a registration / activation template?
Hi@mmaccou the issue is related to trigger(content) used in js only as far as i remember may be this thread comes handy for you,btw which version of buddypress and wordpress you are using i hope its latest one.
Thanks
If you want help, you must give details: about what you did and how, theme name,…
That said, the Toolbar belongs to WordPress.
Some ideas here:
Remove WordPress Admin Bar CSS
Quick Tip: Override WordPress Toolbar Styles
BuddyPress use only a few and very minimalistic CSS. See at the end of /bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css for some styles applying to smartphones.
buddypress version : BuddyPress 2.1.1

pagination is not working on the post at home page. I tried WP-PageNavi plugin for the pagination and even buddypress function for pagination both of them is not working . please help me out if somebody knows. .
Yes, I spent quite a lot of time in the past coding in php/mysql, but never did anything in wordpress before. So I’m fine with digging around php code, and know what to look for if I can just get to the file which has the menu setup. I have done a little bit of editing; you can see on my site now if you log in, you get a few more things happening than usual for the login widget.
I reposted this question here .
Thanks again for the help on the main question!
Ok, you’re in an intense learning stage ! 😉 But i’m affraid i can’t help you to do this.
– the theme used on this support is a custom work and doesn’t exist for public.
– for other questions, yes, it is better to ask one question by topic.
– googling around “wordpress toolbar tricks, customization” bring very helpfull result. But if php is not your cup of tea, i would recommend you to not try to modifiate it.
Rome wasn’t made in one day.
Reading this forum is a good starting point to learn how BP work’s.
You’re question is more server oriented and a bit over the scope of this support. Anyway….
You can put different tables in different db on the same server, but how are you going to make WordPress aware of where each table is ?
In standart usage, multisite with BuddyPress is working with one WP, one DB and one BP plugin and as many sites you want (preferably as sub-domains).
To manage multiple db’s, try perhaps HyperDB.
Can’t help you more. Sorry. 😉
ok so here it go’s i hope you guys can help me here.
