Yes, the files are in correct directory but the translation not work. Before the 4.0 update of wordpress there was not problem … Here is the site – http://pokerspirit.net/forum/new-topic/
I’m new to BuddyPress and still somewhat novice when it comes to WordPress in general. I’ve been assigned the task of setting up a BuddyPress site. Everything in the system is fairly vanilla and plain. I started with developing a working WordPress site using the Responsive Theme.
Everything was working fine and my customer was happy with where I was going. Then I went and added BuddyPress. BuddyPress seemed to be working fine until I created my first group, then my home page started giving me the Redirect Loop Error. I’ve discovered I only get it when I’m logged in. I’ve also discovered that I can disable the error by disabling “User Groups” on the Components tab.
Here’s my sandbox area if it helps: http://iccmeu.myiserve.org/
bbPress and BuddyPress translation not working after update to wordpress to 4.0?
@riccardo-rossini WP 4.0 introduced the new Media Library Grid, among others. Any plugin that adds features to the media library may need serious work per https://make.wordpress.org/support/2014/08/omg-wtf-bbq-post/ So at this point, I suggest that you follow up with the rtmedia plugin authors about your issue.
>I can also report that the same bug is manifesting in the “My Favorites” and “Mentions” streams in the same way that it does in “My Groups” – only the word “replied” appears.
I cannot replicate those issues.
Re ‘My Groups’: Fixed. Thanks to @r-a-y
See: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5862/5862.01.patch
Hopefully it will make it into 2.1
Hi, I use latest version WordPress and BuddyPress.
1. Image: You can see that I am turned off Sidebar, Slider and Feature for “Members” page in admin.

2. Image: When I open the page Members, although everything turned off and still shows sidebar, slider and feature.

Is there any PHP CODE or Shortcode for manually?
Or do you know how to solve this problem?

If things continue to stay weird in terms of solving this, I am happy to PM log in details to you guys to see what’s going on under the hood.
Please give more details about the install.
Host type and plugins list.
Do you use a cache system ? Do you used an automated wordpress install from your host ?
Which software do you use to access your db ?
Hello,
I am using latest version of Buddypress with WordPress. I want to create a custom page to collect attchments from user. Also, only admin and attached user can view that attachment.
Any way to this?
hi @mahdiar,
i short words: you can not embed any videos.
You can only embed videos from approved providers. See the list on the WP codex.
About the why, read here
And for the how, here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
That said, if you paste the url of a youtube(since wp 2.9) or funnyordie video (since wp 4.0) into an activity update, it will show up.
If not, try with 2014 theme first.
Test urls:

Hi
I can add video in normal post in wordpress just by copying the video file address .
It generates the following code automatically:
[video src="...." /]
I test it in buddypress and it generates the code but it doesn’t show the video . How can I show the video ?
I know bp supports youtube but I’d like to use any video .
Thanks
@christicehurst,
in other words, you didn’t use buddypress for a while and when you reactivate the plugin, all goes wrong.
The easiest way to go is to deactivate buddypress from your plugins list and delete it.
Check it is really the case in the wp-content/plugins/ directory on the FTP server.
Then you check your database and delete any table (16 tables on a single install) you may encounter related to BP.
Those tables are are all prefixed like this: _bp_table_name. By default, wp_bp_table_name.
Once done, go back to your wordpress install and check if the site is working flawless.
If ok, you install a new copy of buddypress via the plugin installer on the dashboard.
Activate, adjust BP settings without forgetting the permalink setting, and enjoy.

Dank u voor uw begrip.
Turns out it’s long standing issue: “Stop using hide_sitewide for privacy purposes” https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3857
Any suggested work around in the mean time?
I understand, but i’m not here to help supporting premium themes. You paid the theme and for support.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
If you don’t know how to do this, you may want to consider hiring a developer.
@danbp, just to mention, $editor_id is fussy about hyphens. See here. And contrary to the advice in that Codex article, I’ve also found $editor_id dislikes underscores. Best bet is to use lowercase letters only.
I wouldn’t rely on messing with visibility settings.
To make a profile field only editable by admins, do this in bp-custom.php or a plugin:
// only admins can edit the Skills field
function chief_hide_profile_fields( $retval ) {
if( is_super_admin () )
return $retval;
if( bp_is_profile_edit() || bp_is_register_page() )
$retval['exclude_fields'] = '3'; //profile field ID's separated by comma
return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'chief_hide_profile_fields' );
Note that you need to add the correct id(s) for exclude_fields.
And that ‘ || bp_is_register_page() ‘ keeps the field(s) off the register page – which you may not need to do.
Re how to create profile fields in code, there a couple of ways to do it depending on the kind of field and how it will be used.
Take a look at these plugins for more info:

Hi @speedys
Searching the Plugin Directory for “custom admin bar” I came across a few plugins that may be of interest:
These may or may not do what you need but feel free to search yourself. There seems to be lots available.
I,
i need to add a rich text editor in activity stream instead of the actual textarea (id= #wats-new-textarea”)
I have WordPress 3.9.1 and Buddypress 2.0.1.
At the moment i change the file \mytheme\activity\post-form.php:
I replace the textarea with the wp_editor:
wp_editor( bp_get_activity_content_body(),'whats-new', array(
'media_buttons' => true,
'textarea_rows' => '200',
'teeny' => true,
'quicktags' => array('buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,close')
)
);
But i can’t make it work. The submit button doesn’t appear.
@shanebp the mentioned ref array hook works like a charm. Thank you so much driving me crazy 🙂
To the folks out there: add this to the BBpress bbpress\includes\admin\converter.php
add_action('messages_message_sent', 'my_prevent_msg_send', 5 );
function my_prevent_msg_send( $args ) {
unset( $args->recipients );
}
to prevent that PMS are send on import.

Hi Ian
wpautop() is a function you could use for this. Check out:

Hi guys
I’ve seen this topic before, but in quite an old thread.
I have created some multi-line text boxes in Profile Fields, but when the user completes a form with line breaks, these are not appearing in the front end.
When I inspect the HTML, the breaks appear, but they do not show up to the user. Here is how the html looks and how the front end renders:


I am running BuddyPress 2.0.2 with WordPress 4.0, running Reverie Theme.
How can I get the line breaks to appear?
Thanks,
Ian
