I’ve been reading the support forums for a while, I know its my theme causing the problems. I disabled all my plugins and went to the default WordPress theme and everything worked. So my question is what can i do to fix it. The theme I’m using is Replay by Themex. I can’t view members, send private message, create a group, or use the forums. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, since version 2.0 (beta included), I have a problem with some component buddypress such as comments, custom posts types, and other things. On previous versions, I did not notice any worries. So I tried to install buddypress on a new installation of wordpress, but the problem is still there. Maybe I forgetting to do something? Note that I work locally. Cordially.
Hi again @pietro_sferrino,
1 – HOW TO ADD A FRONT-END LOGIN FORM. I do NOT want people see the wp-default form for login. I want to show it in a front-end page. Actually, is not a matter of what I want … that is ho it HAS to work
Theme My Login is the plugin to handle that for you. Give it a try here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/
Point 2 is a little more complicated, yes it can certainly be done but it will require you to create a template. For information on the BuddyPress template hierarchy, see here: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/
Hello,
I found different answers here on Support, but only one of the two works.
I want to hide span.activity and have put the following in the style.css of my theme and this works
span.activity {
display: none !important;
}
However, I would also hide time-since and placed next code in the css file
span.time-since {
display: none !important;
}
but this has no effect
I use:
Wordpress 3.9.1
Buddypress 2.0.1
bbPress 2.5.4
BuddyPress Groups Extras 3.6.5
BP Group Documents 1.7
rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress 3.7.2
Theme is Genesis child theme Executive Pro
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
After registering as new user i have acces to the backend of wordpress. How can i solve this:Look Here for a picture.
Hope we can solve this.
Many regards,
Peter
BuddyPress should automatically create registration and activation pages for you. You can check by going to your website. For example example.com/registration or example.com/activate.
To create a WordPress navigation menu and add the activation and registration pages to it, see the WordPress Menu User Guide.
You can either copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.1/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/create.php by adding buddypress/groups/ folders and add changes yo want to make after line #185 OR add info by hooking into do_action( 'bp_before_group_invites_creation_step' ); for the Group Invite section in your theme’s functions.php file
change the edit the boxed included by default
@osamanuman just copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.1/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/buddypress/members/ folder (create folders if you don’t have them yet) then edit that register.php and save.
if I want to add mission and about us in the same registration page, how can it be done
Any field you create in the “Base” profile field group will show up in registration form. https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/
when admin create a users he is forced to enter a pseudonym
@victord34 you mean a “username”. That is a WordPress requirement for registration, not BuddyPress. But since BP is a plugin for WP, we use those usernames in different instances.
did you read this example in the documentation? https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php
there is a function for that: bp_notifications_add_notification( $args )
I’m running WordPress 3.9.1 multisite. One of the two sites (http://portal.innovteched.com/) has the activated BuddyPress 2.0.1 plugin. The theme is BP Corporate (from WPMU).
All other plugins are deactivated on this site.
For some reason, I cannot use the “login” bar underneath the menu. When I try to login, it redirects to this URL > http://portal.innovteched.com/wp-login.php and won’t work.
What am I missing??
I’m in exactly in the same boat as @kamillamonkey on this one – “It wont change it from the DEFAULT ROLE set in WordPress/Settings/General/New User Default Role [Subscriber].”
I can go in after a new user registers and ‘manually’ switch the user role, but alas, at least for me, I’m not getting the roles assigned based on the user_roles & cases as outlined above when they register.
I’m using BuddyPress 2.0.1 & WordPress 3.9.1
Seems odd that the new user role would not be assigned, as the tutorial/code in @noizeburger ‘s example looks very solid! Any chance this has to do with something new/recent in BuddyPress 2.0.1?

Please help.
@ubiq00 Ask your hosting company if they can host BuddyPress installations and point them to the codex link above. You might need to upgrade as some shared hosting plans can’t handle BP.
Since you’re new to WordPress and BuddyPress, might I suggest before upgrading hosting plans, that you test WordPress/BuddyPress via local install through XAMPP https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/installing-a-local-server/installing-xampp/
@philmeyer It’s open source now but it’s customized for this site so you would need to make the adjustments to work on your site https://buddypress.org/2014/03/open-sourcing-buddypress-org/
@kpd10435 the screenshot is from WP profiles page https://profiles.wordpress.org/johnjamesjacoby
All code is open sourced at https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk Only thing is, it’s just not a matter of downloading the theme. If you’re a developer there would be matter of having the time and knowing how to customize plugins and theme for your site.
I’m using WordPress/BuddyPress for my International Marriage Agency website where American men can view profiles of Russian women for marriage. I want the men to register but their profiles should be invisible to everybody except themselves and the admin. Only women’s profiles should be visible. How can I do this? How can I have the default ‘Subscriber’ role have those member profiles be invisible and the women’s profiles changed to a different role where their profiles would be visible. Thank you.
@jejemo
try by adding this at the begin of your function
$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
If you’re working on the Toolbar, the correct way to add a menu is like on this example:
/* add links/menus to the admin bar*/
/* more details here: http://wpengineer.com/2113/add-menus-to-the-admin-bar-of-wordpress/ */
function mytheme_admin_bar_render() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
'parent' => 'new-content', // use 'false' for a root menu, or pass the ID of the parent menu
'id' => 'new_media', // link ID, defaults to a sanitized title value
'title' => __('Media'), // link title
'href' => admin_url( 'media-new.php') // name of file
'meta' => false // array of any of the following options: array( 'html' => '', 'class' => '', 'onclick' => '', target => '', title => '' );
)
);
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'mytheme_admin_bar_render' );
A similar method is used to add a tab. Here on a user profile.
function bpfr_my_setup_nav() {
global $bp;
$mytab=array(
'name' => 'My Tab',
'link' => 'http://example.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/my_extra_page.php',
'slug' => 'my-tab',
'css_id' => 'my_custom_tab',
'position' => 100,
'user_has_access' => 1,
'screen_function' => 'xprofile_screen_my_tab'
);
$bp->bp_options_nav['profile']['my-tab']=$mytab;
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_my_setup_nav');
@flickchicks,
this is not a BP support, it’s a WP and theming domain.
1) no !
2) depends of the number of books and their type
3) this is default behavior when WP insert a picture into a post
4) a conditionnal should be added to the page or the post content. WP question anyway.
FYI see here:

Hello
I am trying to implement Buddypress on an existing site with a custom theme. Everything seems to work fine both in terms of functionality except when Buddypress is activated the site’s navigation bar which is at the top of the page and everything above it is cut off.
Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this, or a place I could look in my site’s files to try and come to a solution?
Thank you!
I would rather not link to my site as it is a test server for a client, but I am using the most recent Buddypress 2.0.1 and WordPress 3.9.1
I’m new to WordPress trying to learn…hoping to build my own site where I’m going to use it as my class’s community site.
Then I found BuddyPress plug-in is well-known, widely-used one for that purpose.
I have followed the steps to install BP and it doesn’t work.
The major problem I found so far was that Sitewide Activity Stream only works on Front Page meaning that it only shows when I setup the activity stream page as the Front Page. If I set any other page(e.g. Home page) as Front Page, activity page doesn’t show nothing. And, another activity page only shows member’s personal activity when logged in. (I realized that there are Activity Stream page and member’s personal activity page separate. The one is for Stream, and the other is for personal management, is it right?)
I’ve searched all over to settle this down, but with no luck.
Spend a week to do everything I can do. Delete all themes and plugins. Install Twenty-something themes and setup. Change settings here and there…
Now, other problems like nothing show up on register, members, groups…may be settled if this one solved, I guess.
Can anybody help?
I’m curious if anyone has any additional guidance on this — I have an on-staff developer who could enact this if anyone can suggest how.
We get a frustratingly large number of registrations for emails like reddysmith@gmial.com and laurabrown@yaho.com … it’d save a lot of hassle to force email confirmation on registration.
I understand that this plugin used to add the function, but is outdated and no longer works:
