BuddyPress.org

This is actually not an issue, if you want to understand the nature of this read this ticket:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4344#comment:4

but it can not be a reason the theme continum, because the previous version of the BP nothing has doubled

It’s a theme issue. Continuum author has rewritten the way the default WordPress templates are scripted. Change to Twenty Twelve, and you’ll see that there’s no group duplication.

BuddyPress 1.7 does its best to integrate with any WordPress theme. It doesn’t matter whether you activate the theme before or after you activate the plugin 🙂

how to modify the admin bar

@ebizdude That’s too wide an area to cover. What specifically do you want to change in the admin bar?
– If it’s WordPress-related, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
– If it’s related to BuddyPress links to profile menus https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

also when people registerting the activation email is not coming. how does one recticfy that

You have to find out through some tests whether email is not being sent from your installation or whether the email just goes to user’s spam folder.

@sienteastu You have the lastest WP/BP versions on a new or upgraded multisite installation? Did you by any chance, added ENABLE_MULTIBLOG to your wp-config.php file? Also, check out https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4252

For the Home page, create a regular WordPress page and assign it as the “Front page”:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_Screen

For the Contact page, create a regular WordPress page and install one of the many contact forms for WordPress:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/contact/

Have you identified any BP plugins that would give you extra security ?

Have you read any of the many docs re hardening WP installs ?
Here’s a start point: https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

IP Deny Manager would be useful if you’ve identified IPs that are causing problems.

There is no such function.
There is a hook – as Paul showed you.
Use that hook to write your own function.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_action

Put the function in a plugin or bp-custom.php

okay i think i actually figured out my problem at least which seems to be a bug actually. Not sure if its related to this one that was also recently reported:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4827

this bug is actually with 1.6.4 haven’t yet been able to test with 1.7 what happens is that if you create a site using network admin and do not set the tittle attribute it never gets added to the directory if someone could tell me if this is not related to that other bug i will attempt to make a trac ticket for it. thanks!

I’m looking into this too. I think the problem is that bbpress is adding that forum tab and not buddypress. Did you figure it out?

Otherwise this is a good reference.

@pdxpogo that error is related to the BuddyPress Registration Options plugin. Someone posted a workaround and another uploaded his own version of the plugin at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-new-warning-please-help-fast-urgent?replies=24 No guarantees here.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this with Yoast. I spent the whole day today searching the net for solutions and event tried some that really did not work especially the way they should.

Lets think about this for a min. One of the strong points WordPress has always had is SEO. Clearly SEO is a big part of any serious website trying to grow. Buddpress is clearly the ICON in the social media building of sites for WP. So their has got to be a solution out there some plac as well as their needs to be long term fixes put into place so this is no longer an issue.

I even tracked down this site today and observed many of their sites SEO and how well they were handling things at a member, group level and other areas of BP. http://www.buddyboss.com/the-largest-list-of-buddypress-sites/

Some you could tell don’t have a clue what I am talking about while others clearly found a way. I am also looking at contacting some of the sites that do to see if they could provide a solution.

I did find this product today and even tested it. But to be honest while there has been a a lot of work that has went into it. Its not even in the same league as Yoast for SEO. There are so many other advanced features in Yoast that most people do not understand or use but add additional power for those that truly understand how to leverage SEO. http://themekraft.com/shop/seopress-pro/

Zorro…..

It seems kind of anti intuitive that someone who signs up for my wordpress site has to then ALSO sign up for my network?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/join-my-multisite/ by @ipstenu would pretty much address what you need in your network

If you want to replace the responsive css with your own, you should be able to disable the default with

function bbg_enqueue_styles() {
	remove_theme_support( 'bp-default-responsive' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbg_enqueue_styles', 5 );

Hi, it’s not possibe out of the box and depending which BP version you use.

This perhaps may work on 1.5.x only:

How to Add an Image Field to Buddypress Extended Profile Fields

Thanks Paul, I’ve created a new trac ticket for it
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4823

Plugins which work on 1.6.x that don’t work on 1.7/trunk should be reported on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org as a regression.

I am receiving the same identical error on non-BuddyPress pages.

I have pages I created through WordPress (Dashboard > Pages > Add New), such as Help, Contact, Home. All these pages display the error message at the top of the page.
