@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
Thanks @danbp. I got it to work by doing this:
cd /path/to/wp-content/plugins
svn co https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/src buddypress
And then installed the bp-default theme manually with this:
mkdir buddypress/bp-themes
cd !$
git clone https://github.com/buddypress/BP-Default.git
@seniortech,
On a single install, users have never access to the dashboard. This only happens if they have a blog on a multi site. And the admin they see is the admin of their blog, not the main blog where BP is installed.
But first, read here please, provide the information and your theme name. be warned that if you use a premium, that you can’t expect much help on this forum, as we have no access to such themes.
FYI: the admin toolbar or any of the BP menus are working like any other menus and toolbar labels on wordpress. Is explained on the WP codex.
For more advanced details, see here.
For specific BP customization, read the BP Codex.
I wanted an Ajaxified login along with removal of dashboard access and I’m using 2 plugins:
Remove Dashboard Access
Login With Ajax
Login With Ajax also has a settings panel that allows you to redirect the users (globally or role based) upon login and logout, so it replaces the BP Redirect to Profile, as well, if you’re looking for that type of login functionality to go along with the redirect.
BP Redirect to Profile doesn’t block wp-admin access in and of itself, it just redirects the user to their profile upon login, but doesn’t block the admin if they put the URL in directly.
I’m not sure that this is the right forum to post this in, so let me know if it isn’t and I’ll go move over there (this seemed like the best place).
I have a general question about when to use BuddyPress, as in, I don’t want to install BuddyPress and find out it was complete overkill… so here’s my scenario.
The site I may be building is a membership site, which I was going to build leveraging some wpmudev plugins (Membership and Events +). Anyway, there is a need to have a Members Directory on the site as well, where users can have their information, like a basic profile, shown to other members. They may or may not be able to communicate to other members, but if not and it’s just a member directory, is it a good idea to utilize BuddyPress for this or can I achieve the same functionality with a simple WordPress install?
If they can communicate with each other, I’m assuming BuddyPress is the way to go. I’m having trouble knowing where to draw the line for utilizing BuddyPress.
I’m going to do an install of it now as a test to see what I get out of the box and how it works. I installed this a loooong time ago but I’m sure a lot has changed. Thanks for any suggestions or probing questions!
Hi @vijaymetatagg
There is some related discussion in this Trac ticket but nothing has been implemented yet:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4132
I am running the latest version of wordpress
Wordpress as a directory and is root.
I am using Multinews Theme which has Buddypress integrated into it’s theme

bbpress use tinymce, and you can add some tools to the editor. Search on the tinymce support forum. Also some topics on the bbpress forum around this.
As admin you can use this snippet, to get the same media button as n the backend editor.
Be aware that allowing access to anybody to your medias is risky.
That’s why the default bbP editor is only shipped with an image linker.
So i guess shane’s tip to use the plugin is best to do for now.
It exist also this plugin, with image upload allowed for authors and above roles.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/
function bpfr_bbp_editor_upload_media( $args ) {
$args['media_buttons'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bpfr_bbp_editor_upload_media' );
If you have suggestion or enhancement request, feel free to leave them on

You might use the same login as on this forum.
>most people using forums expect to be able to insert images into their posts nowadays.
Agreed.
Because BuddyPress and bbPress are two separate plugins, don’t expect BuddyPress to address this issue.
I’ve never used it, but try the free version of

Hi @godavid33,
Unless things have changed, users should be able to message anybody. Are you sure you’re not using a plugin such as BuddyPress Private Messages for Friends Only?
Yes @danbp
You have absolutely right.
Wordpress: 3.9.2
BuddyPress: 2.0.2
Theme: Twenty Fourteen
The issue I am talking about can be replicated (in my installation) using every theme.
I wish I could be more specific.
Hi again,
I use the latest versions of both WordPress and Buddypress and I can replicate the issue using “Twenty Fourteen” theme.
Wordpress: 3.9.2
BuddyPress: 2.0.2
Theme: Twenty Fourteen
