@danp: Yes, that’s the plugin indeed. I have the latest version.
Thanks for the ideas! I have gone through those options and the whole website is pretty much one big WP manual in layout (knowledge base search type of thing) so that’s covered.
The one 2 one tutoring is practically a video call, but I also share files and links and make a summary and assign homework that I want them to be able to review in their profile.
So I guess the best way would be to somehow link a personal page to a profile. Any ideas on that?
While googeling and writing this I have come up with the following:
Use dynamic links to user profiles via and then give my students a restriction level via s2members or simalair and restrict acces that way. Just thinking out loud and still pondering how to link unique user ID’s to a page.
http://edu.durkkooistra.com/ I have an open website, so the knowledge base is open to anyone, I just want to restrict one page per student to add the videos etc too.
@durkk,
are you speaking about this wordpress add-on ?
You must have at least PrivateContent v2.3 to use it !
i would try something different.
Create a page for each student and set it to private, with a password which you give to the student.
With the password they can access to the page. This is a WP native behave.
It would not be very difficult after that to include such a page in each profile.
To write your summary or summaries, adapted to each student, or any other text, you could use @imath ‘s wp-manual.
You could also publish courses in PDF and use the buddydrive plugin. Your course will then be listed on your profile, depending your buddydrive visibility settings (public, private, friends, members….).
I think this can be reasonnably be used if you have few students, but if you have more than 50 you have to use a better adapted solution.
I don’t understand why you obstinatly want to write bios on wordpress (inactive when BP is activated) when you can do that with xprofile !
On the register page you have a single line text area field. Why don’t you use a multiline area for doing this ?
field type = Multi-line Text Area.
Entered text will then appear on user’s profile !
The function you want to use cannot work, as it contain errors.
Sorry to tell, but I think you have to learn some php and buddypress handling before going to reinvent the wheel or making things you don’t really understand.
Some good reads here, and many others on the forum.

Ok, I just deactivated all plugs again, this time I cleared the server cache, and I restarted them one at a time. When I turned on Facebook Thumb Fixer the txt appeared. So you are correct, it was Facebook Thumb Fixer. I will contact the makers of that and see if I can find a fix. I really like that plug in so I will figure it out.
bd-wall is this plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-wall/ but it seems to not be related to the problem I was having. Thank you so much for all your help.
Shortcodes are used by WordPress since version 2.5.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode
https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API
To use the above snippet, you copy/paste it into your child-theme functions.php.
And you use the shortcode like this [myprofileurl] within post or comments.
Bla bla bla [myprofileurl] bla bla… will print out Bla bla bla My Profile bla bla…
I hope for you that you want to write something else before My profile as bla bla bla 😉
Thank you for your reply @bookclubreader.
But the first topic is related to Contact Form 7, and your soluce applies to that plugin ONLY.
Also, the tip you linked to use a core file hack, and this is absolutely not to do.
If users who don’t use that plugin go to remove both filters, their emails won’t NEVER be send i guess.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/wp_mail_from
For thoose who want to modify the default sender name (from), typically wordpress@yourdomain to something else, use these snippets and put them into your child-theme functions.php
//notification mail From email field
function custom_email_from($mail) {
$mail = 'your_email@addre.ss'; // Replace the email address here //
return $mail;
}
add_filter('wp_mail_from','custom_email_from');
//notification mail From name field - optional
function custom_email_from_name($name) {
$name = get_bloginfo('name');//or any other text
return $name;
}
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name','custom_email_from_name');
MOD EDIT: Topic moved into Third Party Plugins section
I spoke too soon. I found the answer here – Contact Form 7 – From Name Incorrect
Here’s what solved it for me:
remove_filter('wp_mail_from', 'bp_core_email_from_address_filter' );
remove_filter('wp_mail_from_name', 'bp_core_email_from_name_filter');
I added this to my function file. If you have Genesis Extender, it’s easy to do.
Hi,
I am using a plugin for a feature I am really hoping makes it to buddypress core someday, and apologize if it’s already there and if I am adding unnecessary complexity.
I have buddypress on the child site of a multisite, and I am concerned about my member’s privacy and peace so I want to make sure their posts or only visible to their friends, group members, themselves or even the whole world, at their discretion. It is similar to Facebook privacy options.
The plugin I have used for this in the past is “Buddypress Activity Privacy”. It even lets me set the default to friends only.
The problem I am having is that it seems only to network activate on a multisite, and if I network activate buddypress, it defaults to my main blog which is not the buddypress site. My main site is for business matters and personal things people don’t want on the “social network” side at all, and has member and business plugins I don’t want to interfere with buddypress either.
Are these features part of buddypress somehow and I missed them and am using a plugin unnecessarily? If so, would you please point me to the right doc starting point to enable these user activity privacy options?
If it requires a plugin, this is the only one I found so far, BuddyPress Activity Privacy, but am having troubles activating it since it needs to network activate and it can’t if buddypress is not network activated, apparently.
One more question please. If I do network activate buddypress, and it’s really only for one site of the multisite network, will it have negative performance impacts on the other sites? If it will hurt performance to network activate it, I would still consider it if I could point it to the right blog, I’m just wondering what’s the best thing to do to maintain these user privacy options. Thank you for reading and considering this.

Q. 4:
BuddyPress wordings can easily be changed by using a language file, even if your site is in english.
Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs
Q.2:
When buddypress is activated with the xprofile component, the wordpress register form is not used, except for username, password and email part.
xprofile let you extend this wp form. And if you need a bio field, you create multiline text field and call it Biography. So simple as that.

Q.1
no comprendo ! What do you mean exactly ?
Latest WP and BP maybe enough for a daily forum usage. But imagine people reading your topic in 6 mounth or in 2 years… Give the version number please. And give also the used theme type/name.
I used the wordpress importer plugin, apparently it didn’t export the groups. I was only able to import posts, comments, forums… but the groups were missing although the groups forums were included. can you help how to import my groups to a new database/site?
Hi nice plugin and great work.
latest wordpress and buddypress version.
I have couple of queries.
1.I have added additional field date of birth while sign up but it is showing year drop down options till 2037 and accepting it while sign up.
2.when I am writing a short bio in wordpress, it is not showing anywhere.
3. Is it possible to follow a person instead of connecting through friend requests?
4. I want to use * instead of required written in sign up form (for eg.Name(required), I want Name*). Is it possible to amend that?
please help me to solve this.
@sokrates,
the ticket is fixed and closed since 19 mounth.
If you follow the last IRC discussion around this ticket – 7 mounth ago – you’ll see that the issue cames again, and a new fix was added.
Also from IRC, test this setting.
Anyway, if you think the issue is still there, feel free to open a new ticket and give the steps to reproduce. Follow Boone’s instructions
Login to Trac use the same credentials as bp.org forum.
In fact it sounds like this issue from 3 yrs ago: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3725
@juanmgonzalez,
thank you for your reply !
The php GD2 library is necessary on your server to handle images.
To all readers:
In case of issues with common image handling and/or image cropping, ensure that your php has GD library enabled.
On hosted servers, it is generally the case, but not on local with WAMP for example.
Making a phpinfo will help you.

Is this something that will be able to happen in the 2.1 version?
No !
If you readed sarah’s post, ou have seen a mention to a post by Andrew Nacin on the Make (published 2013/28/07) where he writes:
A disclaimer: This post doesn’t promise anything. Do not rely on the contents of this post for future projects. It will take us some time to lay out the proper groundwork and make sure we get this right. Do not expect this to happen in WordPress 3.7, or even 3.8. (Actually, do not expect this to happen at all.)
Nothing about taxonomies is annonced for WP 4.0, so don’t expect that BP 2.1 will get something around taxo before WP.
You may use BP Group Taxo – as experimental plugin. 😉
It might be part of the 2.1 release, but more likely the 2.2 release.

Hi, Just in case it’s of use….
I’m a bit of a BP newb, and I’m using a fresh install of WP 3.9.2 and BP 2.0.1
I’m using a Gravity form as a registration form with the GravityForms User Registration add-on to register BuddyPress users.
As a newb, I have been experimenting a lot with the XProfile fields, and also noticed that at some stage of the proceedings, I had made a change that resulted in the same problem as in the first post – the WordPress last name value was deleted and the firstname field was set to the nicename when the update profile button was pressed.
I had changed the primary field in the XProfile fields from “Name”.
Replacing the primary field as Name, and mapping the “full name” field from the Gravity form to this field in the Gravity User Registration add-on screen seems to solve it for me
Hello all, I am using buddypress v. 2.0.1 and wordpress 3.9.2
I would like to create a 3 step registration. For example: I would like to set up a registration process in 3 different steps: (i) user fillups the account info with username, password, email address, (ii) in second step user select their account type, fill some field based on account type (iii) define your personal profile, i googling this topic but not find any solution, Does anyone has a solution or plug-in for that?, if it is possible with Buddypress or any other wordpress plugin
Thank you all…
@vajrasar,
the missing field belongs to the wordpress part of the register page.
Check your wp / bp settings (allow user to register) and on BP settings check profile syncing with wordpress users.
Source code tells also this when only highlighting the link you mention
<link href=”data:image/png;base64 … followed by a very long encrypted code block.
I would suggest to check for such a base64 in all theme files, just in case of you’re victim of a malicious injection or simply use some wrong code in your beta plugin.
Your site is loading slow and with such encoded png’s the culprit is probably the images.

I am running latest WordPress and BuddyPress on my local install.
As instructed in docs, I created Register and Activate page and assigned them to BuddyPress via settings. Now, when I am visiting Register page of the site, everything seems fine, but am not able to find ‘input’ box for Username Field.
All other fields have their labels and input boxes but not Username. Any ideas?
Here is the Screenshot of the issue – http://i.imgur.com/jHMtNGy.png
Newest version of WordPress and buddypress. Strange txt at the top left corner displays username in code. No idea where it is coming from. Anyone can point me in the correct direction of where I should look to correct the problem? Check the link below, it’s hard to see, but it’s in the top left corner right under the wordpress bar. thanks

I’ve came across this plugin on my search, but that’s only in checkbox form… Any chance of getting that in dropdown form?
Hi !
I recently changed my WordPress Theme to ” Customizer ” and this error message crops up at the bottom of every page thereafter.
Disabling the plugin : Social Login ” of Login Radius makes it go away…
So, either the theme or the [plugin is causing this….
Alll solutions appreciated !
