Hello, did you have any luck solving this? I’m having the exact same problems with the same setup…except now on WordPress 4.0.
buddypress.js loads fine on all pages except the site-wide activity page.
I’ve deactivated all plugins, re-installed buddypress, switched themes, all to no avail.
I’m hosted on wp-engine.
Let me know if you were able to solve it.
I found it on your ticket system actually so it looks like you guys are on top of it
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/8828
If you’ve found a bug or improvement, please open a ticket on trac.
The problems are still unresolved:
++ Cfr. regarding problem A. (Making xProfile fields required only for members with a certain user role):
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-bp-xprofile-fields-required-for-certain-user (posted today)
++ Hide theses xProfile fields for members with other user roles:

++ Cfr. regarding problem D. (Making answers unchangeable):
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-some-xprofile-field-to-uneditable/#post-206808 (posted two days ago).
I asked my question now as well in the BuddyPress-Sub-Forum of the German WordPress-Forum:
http://forum.wpde.org/buddypress/134280-benutzer-innen-namen-neu-verlinken-new-post.html
Hi,
I have a wordpress site (installed 3.9 and updated to 4) with steam theme. I installed buddypress, enabled widgets and all work good except the login form widget. The register link in the widget redirects you to homepage although you are not logged in, as described in another post.
It is weird since i also added the budypress menu in my sidebar and register link works fine there. It only happens with login form widget (budypress widget).
Also if I change theme, for example twenty theme, it works fine.
Can someone help me solve this problem?
George
Thank you. It was the theme that was the problem. I had upgraded BuddyPress to a version that no longer was supprted by the old theme. Using Cpanel I was able to update WordPress and change theme.
For having this effect, I tried now the following:
I created inside my reddle-child-folder a page-profil.php starting with:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Profil-Seite
*/
and I inserted there the entrire code of the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/home.php
Then I created a new page http://kampfsportlerinnenneuwied.1a-spielwiese.de/profil/, using my new WordPress Template Profil-Seite.
The result is neither regarding the design nor regarding the content that, which I hoped, that it would be – but maybe it’s a first step in the right direction. –
Question:
Is there a way to insert into my page-profil.php code, that makes, that
—
In the corresponding way I created a page-groups.php (using the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/groups.php) and a page-profile-details.php (using the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile.php) as well as pages http://kampfsportlerinnenneuwied.1a-spielwiese.de/profil/profile/ and http://kampfsportlerinnenneuwied.1a-spielwiese.de/profil/groups/.
The result is even worse, as you can see.
Question:
(How) is it possible to change that files in a way, that makes the pages displaying what they should display – i.e. the content of the pages:
http://1a-spielwiese.de/mitglieder/kampfsportlerinnenneuwied/profile/
and
http://1a-spielwiese.de/mitglieder/kampfsportlerinnenneuwied/groups/
?
As @djpaul mentioned earlier, the terminology is important because ‘comments’ can refer to 2 things:
- post comments
- activity comments.
Post comments are handled by WordPress and are stored in the wp_comments database table (see here). Activity comments are handled by BuddyPress and are stored in a custom table created by BP called bp_activity (see here).
Hi,
I’m using the latest versions of buddypress e bbpress: I’m looking for a plugin that allow the members of the forum to upload images live into the forum.
I’ve read something, but some discussions are old of some years and I’m new on wordpress, so I came here for a little help.
Anyone can advice me a simple plugin for that and how to install it?
Any replies will be very appreciated.
Thanks all
@aapollo: thanks for your response.
So you’re saying that the entire WordPress.com platform and all its users’ sites are running on WPEngine hosting? We were on their business plan for a launch earlier this year and our site got completely fried. Really bad experience and WPEngine support sucked really, really bad. We were forced to switch and are now on Linode.
Using Disqus for comments doesn’t really solve our problem because it’s not native and very difficult if not impossible to embed fully into all the BuddyPress features as far as I know.
@djpaul: Would love to hear your opinion on this.
@harry4039 – Another useful bit of information for you:
Wordpress.com runs on WP-Engine, which is where we are now hosting our membership/lms/e-commerce WordPress site, and we have seen massive improvements in speed at their premium levels.
It is important to note that the level of concurrent users you’re talking about requires serious server scaling, especially when those users have profiles and are interacting constantly. The premium levels at WP-Engine start at $600 a month and go up from there, but since we have an extremely active user base, the non-profit I’m working with is going for it.
The support has been phenomenal, and while we still have some slow action on the backend at times, the front-end is more than twice as fast.
Also, we use Disqus for comments, which also greatly reduces server load since Disqus handles all the comment parsing and data flow. Unfortunately, their theming and customization options are seriously lacking (you can choose light or dark theme, woohoo!).
I’m really into testing the limits of WP and BP right now, and so far they handle well, though lots of development, fixes and customization are needed on a regular basis due to updates and bugs on a big stack of plugins. Good luck with yours!
~AA~
Footnote: I do not work with, nor am I associated with WP-Engine or Disqus in any way. 😉 In fact, I host most of my smaller sites on Dreamhost, and have generally thought $1K per month for hosting to be outrageous before now.
Details:
WordPress 4.0
Plugin BuddyPress 2.1
Plugin Relevanssi 3.3.7.1
URL: https://www.saferoom.fi
Problem:
Search bar finds loads of items, but it only shows the ones that are under BuddyPress pages.
Example:
I try to find for “Finland” from my posts by using the search field. Relevanssi’s dashboard shows that it finds multiple hits. Search results only show a group meant for Finland. So it does not show posts related.
Relevanssi is installed to show the real search results. The problem occurred when I installed BuddyPress.
Site is a closed community blog.
Thank you for your help.
@mineo
Slovak BuddyPress lang community declares that the files are fully translated.
False ! According to the GlotPress stats, the buddypress translation is only 64% translated.
You have to finish the translation.
Download the po from glotpress
Update that file from the pot file who comes with BP 2.1
Use poEdit to do this.

Hello Buddypress,
I am using “Buddy: Multi-purpose WordPress & BuddyPress Theme” the theme has a child theme and i am able to style the site without any problem. My concern is I would like to edit some buddypress plugin file like “bp-core-widgets.php” and “register.php” I have did some edit and after updating the plugin to Version 2.1.1 I have lost all my changes, which is natural.
My question is like woocommerce you can create a woocommerce within the child theme and edit the file and worry about the changes getting lost in the update, how do i achieve this with buddypress ??
Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Singh
We’re using Buddy Press on our site and due to the colors we are using on the site, most of the Buddy Press buttons and input fields are not legible. Specifically either the button/field is almost invisible because it is white, and then the text on the button/field is either light gray or white.
Bottom line, no one can see that the button/input field is there.
Can you please tell me what I need to change, to be able to change the colors of the buttons and input fields and the text that is associated with them?
I’m new to WordPress, so I would appreciate it, if you could tell me exactly what file (ie, path) to edit.
Thanks in advance!
Patty
Hi @dwsowash
You can create a child theme and then add your custom CSS to your child theme’s style.css file. Check out this article on Child Themes to get you started.
This plug-in lets you get everything. Worked great for me.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-user-data/
Ah, so this exists! https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-user-data/ Will check it out now…
UPDATE: It worked perfectly. Whew!
How can this be? I have been going about having my people put all this valuable data into the site assuming I could pull it into a spreadsheet at any time. Is there no plug-in to add this functionality?
Users ought to be exportable along with everything else in WordPress.
Hi again,
you may follow these summarized steps to enable suggestions for @-mentions in the groups component, furthermore for group forums:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5934#comment:description
Assume all will make it to the next release.
Best regards.
So how do you get the themeing for buddypress if the wordpress theme does not support it?
Since you’ve been using BP Template Pack, you need to remove it. Read this article:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/bp-17-upgrading-template-packed-themes/
You might need to restyle a few things in your CSS to make it gel with your theme though.
In BP 2.1, we have removed pagination counts for the activity component due to performance reasons by default:
Changes to bp_has_activities() queries in BP 2.1
If you want to add it back, change your custom activity-loop.php template from:
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : ?>
to:
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&count_total=count_query' ) ) : ?>
Note: I haven’t tested this, but let me know if this works or not.
@r-a-y Yes I did!
This 2.1.1 Update was supose to fix this issue, but it has not. Im still stuck with a broken slider.
When I disable the BuddyPress Template Pack, it works again, This seems like its no longer supported, So how do you get the themeing for buddypress if the wordpress theme does not support it?
