Hi julia,
it seems that you’re in a deep reflexion about your site, here 2-3 things.
Wait a little before doing more to get your site a clone of FB. It’s not possible, and comparison will always exist if you try to do that. You’re not FB. As simple as that i guess. 😉
People need a little time to accept new rules. You decided to create a site for them. They have to respect that when they decide to follow you in this new adventure.
members don’t feel like that’s the same. With reason, as it is not the same.
The question will more be, why do they come to your site ? Because it looks like FB or because you have some good content ?
Have you tried this plugin ?
Hi everyone,
Im using a free wordpress theme called harrington and the last version of wordpress, i want to display any extended user field in my theme, in the header.php, in the page.php, etc.
what function i have to use? or what code?
i hello i haved the buddypress install but wen i try to activate the admin page stay all black
My website publiadds.com
wordpress version 4.0
Hi
I have a standard single site installation of WordPress with Buddypress plugin where normal users are only registered members. Now I want to make the following changes.
1) Create a paid membership for business services.
2) The business section is visible only to subscribed businesses in point no 1
3) The business members should have a (extended) profile that is different than the normal users
4) The business members should be able to post jobs and adverts that is visible to normal users
5) Normal users should be able to apply to such jobs with a click and their profile should be visible to the advertiser for a period pf 30 days.
Being a novice, a step by step guide would be appreciated. Thanks
Have you tested with one of the bullet proven 2013 or 2014 themes ?
Some Dynamix related topics can be found here.
– Members import – I used it two other times a year ago for different lists with no problem.
A year ago means datas from BP ~1.7 and the reason why i mentionned the ticket.
my issue isn’t with avatars
I have a doubt 😉 : on your members directory, the default avatar is gravatar who doesn’t appear. Avatars may not be the issue but are related to profiles.
Try to use Mystery Man instead. if he appears as default avatar, there is perhaps a conflict with media upload or permalinks.
The other thing i observe, is that you and the other user who’s profile access is ok, are the only one using a username in the URL. All other members have first and last name.
Do you use a custom function or a plugin to get this ?
About wpengine, is this already the case ?
If nothing above works, see also here and open a ticket with as much details as possible with this topic url.

I am getting a Page Not Found error when trying to access individual member pages for everyone except myself and one other member.
So far, I have…
-scoured this support forum in search of an answer with no luck
-compared user accounts and see no difference between the member I can view and those I cannot
-tried deactivating plugins one at a time with no change
-tried changing permalinks, saving, clearing the cache, changing them back to the BP setting (post name)and clearing the cache again with no effect
I am using bbPress as well as several BP plugins, including: BuddyPress Facebook, BuddyPress Members Import, BuddyPress Toolbar, BuddyPress Twitter, BuddyPress user account type PRO, and GD bbPress Attachments. Other plugins include Advanced Excerpt, Akismet, All-in-One Event Calendar by Time.ly, Official StatCounter Plugin and WPBakery Visual Composer.
I was not having this problem before but haven’t touched the site in quite a while so I don’t know when the change happened. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙂
No idea… hire a dev ? See:

I am working on wordpress site and i want to redirect visitor to login page if visitor not logged in but for some pages. I have used below code but it is not worked for me. Means After adding code in function.php file, when i hit some pages and groups pages then it not redirect to login page. Helped me where i am wrong in this code. Also i have created login page not using BP login or wp-login
function login_required() {
if (!is_user_logged_in() ) {
$restricted = array(6,13,552,12,121,491,534,23,233,24,234,74,117,419); // all your restricted pages
if ( in_array(get_the_ID(), $restricted ) ) {
wp_redirect(home_url());
exit();
}
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'login_required');
Thank you very much for giving me some direction & feedback …. I installed the wordpress buddypress plugin as well as bbPress – I manage my own LAMP servers (fedora)
also I installed 2 other buddyPress/bbPress related plug-ins …. one plugin was ‘ultra users’ which I like so far ….
I need to unwind & then rewind …. my theme is weaver II pro which could also be a contributing factor … perhaps it’s a permissions/directory structure related problem …
much appreciated that you took the time to respond with links ….

if in addition to this from time to time I could send messages to all members so they see in their profile message box.
This is already built in. For ex. you can:
User menu (below Howdy) > Messages > Compose and check This is a notice to all users.
If you want to show a welcome message/video, you can do this on the register page, but this would be seen before activation.
To show such a thing once a user logged in for the FIRST time, it is a bit more difficult, meaning you don’t know where a first timer access to your site.
Technically possible, but the scenario in this case is more complex and needs some reflexion to get it to work. And good knowledge of PHP. Do you have it ?
There was a plugin for that in the past, but i don’t know if it is already working. And it is no more maintained. Download from here if you want to test.
Hi @sherry22
You can redirect pages using the wp_redirect() function. For example:
function my_redirect() {
if ( bp_is_groups() && ! bp_is_group_forum() ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() . '/whichever-page-you-want/' );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_redirect' );
Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_redirect
wp_icl_strings is used by WPML, and I think this error might be being caused using https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/. You need to contact the author of that plugin on the WordPress.org plugins support forum:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/
Good luck 🙂
1) https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/
2) https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/edit-xprofiles-admin-screen/
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/displaying-extended-profile-fields-on-member-profiles/
3) is built in on members directory. Each profile item becames clickable by default, letting users find others having entered the same information.
Example:
User A = City -> New York (NY is clickable)
User B = City -> New York (NY is clickable)
User C = City -> San Francisco (SF is clickable)
When user B click on NY he will see user A as search result
When user C click on SF he will only see himself
4) He use the buddy menu. This menu can be installed by going to dashboard > apparence > menu. If BP menu is not in the left side, under the other menus, open the screen option (top right corner) and check BuddyPress. Now you can set your BP menu like any other WordPress menu.

When you’re new to something, you must read the documentation first. Also before asking on a help forum, you must search if your question wasn’t already asked and answered.
Happy install ! 😉
Hi, I hope you can help.
1) Somehow the date is not showing up in the activity stream
normally it should be like this http://pmag.djwd.me/activity/
in my installation unfortunately is only usernamexy posted an update shown but not the part 1 year, 3 months ago
in which file I have to look up in order to make it work again!
pls. show me the code how it should normaly be like.
I have also installed in my activity stream this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/
2) another question is which is a working plugin to get the LIKE-function in the activity stream. I had a lot of trouble with this plugin http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-like as it has used conflicts to other plugins that I use.
3) the last question that I have is how to get in the single activity pages like http://pmag.djwd.me/members/djwd/activity/33/ the SEO friendly metatags – meta title and description fetched from the first 5 words of the post! (actually it is like djwd | Activity Streams | PowerMag | Page 33 )
Thank you very much for your support in advance
@sherry22
Probably the best thing to is ask the plugin author for support on the plugins support forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-wall
I am using WordPress 3.9.2 and Buddypress Version 2.1.1

As part of a wordpress plugin, BP menu use the same technique.
hi @gatera,
It’s only a PHP notice, and harmless in regard of a PHP Warning message. Apparently, your plugin is not completely compatible with BuddyPress or at least called to early or something like that.
You must debug your install.

Thanks @gatera! It might just be reflecting a problem in the other plugin, but I’ve created a bug report for BuddyPress and we’ll look into it sometime to see if it’s our fault or if there’s something we could be doing better. Thanks for letting us know:

Hi,
Whenever I activate the ‘remove dashboard access’ plugin, I get this error message
Notice: bp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 1.7.) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/knight/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3370
Which setups? … WordPress is 4.0, BuddyPress is 2.1.1. The site is pokerspirit.net … When I try to enter in my wp-admin when BuddyPress plugin is active there is a message: “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /users/user/public_html/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 720”. When BuddyPress plugin is deactivated wp-admin works.
I keep everything up to date when WordPress says something needs to be updated. So I don’t know when the last update was made to Canvas. I do not use child-themes. I have not tried the Twentysomething theme. Since the problem was happening in the dashboard itself I thought the theme might not be the issue. I’ll check though just to be sure. Thanks for the suggestion.
After lots of searching I finally got round the problem of BP/WP not taking you to the registration page by adding the following file into wp-content/plugins/
bp-custom.php
<?php
/**
* Disables BuddyPress’ registration process and fallsback to WordPress’ one.
*/
function my_disable_bp_registration() {
remove_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );
remove_action( ‘bp_screens’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_loaded’, ‘my_disable_bp_registration’ );
add_filter( ‘bp_get_signup_page’, “firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page”);
function firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page($page ){
return bp_get_root_domain() . ‘/wp-signup.php’;
}
This dispenses with BP’s registration system and falls back to the standard WP registration.
