I did the same research as @kansas3d – multiselect only saves the last of multiple fields on the xprofile edit screen. I am running BP 2.0.1 (WP 2.9.1), and have confirmed that rolling back to BP 1.9 (not BP 2.0) fixes the issue. I disabled all plugins and experienced the same problem in my custom theme (built on Bones, not TwentyFourteen-derived).
Converting multiselect to checkboxes allows for multiple value saving, but is not optimal. I have tracked down some similar tickets (#2176 from BP 1.2 and there’s another somewhere…)
Update – it appears there is an open ticket (#5672) related to this:

Hey guys,
we have founded a clan and now using a clanpage based on WordPress. We use Orizon theme by skywarrior with bbpress and buddy press integration.
But for a multigaming clan we nee an custom profile table which contains the games of the user
is there anything like this?
@noizeburger i have followed all the instructions. I don’t get any errors. My problem is the User Role doesn’t change upon new registration. It wont change it from the DEFAULT ROLE set in WordPress/Settings/General/New User Default Role [Author]. Any Suggestions?

I’ve done several maps:
Wordpress posts, based on editable location field: http://www.newspebbles.com/map/
BuddyPress members, based on signup / profile field: http://www.deeptimejourney.org/members-map/
This does markers just for groups: https://github.com/naton/bp-group-location
The issue with a distributed plugin is the time-based limits imposed by various geocode web services. So it’s a scaling issue. There are ways to get around that for per-site custom plugins.
Hi @djouonanglandry
I have seen this in action already on another site, I am just not sure whether it is a buddypress site or even a wordpress thing.
All the evidence looks like it is as it has activity/groups, etc but it is a privately built website so not sure.
http://www.rvillage.com is the site and the accounts are free if anyone as 5 mins to go and have a look at the explore page on the site. This is the page that has the functionality

@veroex,
I think what you are looking for is this pkugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/
Please check it. This plugin allows group creators to create groups under groups.
Thanks @mercime. It does seem to be a theme problem. I’m using Divi by Elegant themes. I guess I’ll need to create a subdomain and a separate installation of WordPress to make this work.
Best,
I would like to keep the friendliness of Display Names along with the practical function of the @username by displaying both side by side like: “Display Name (@username)” anytime the name appears in an activity. I would rather do this using a filter of some sort, and not going in and modifying the template files directly. Can anyone help?
I’m on the latest version of WordPress and BuddyPress, 3.9.1 and 2.0.1 respectively. Thanks!
This might seem like an odd request but on my site I have groups set up and users are auto assigned to them when they sign up on the site I’d like to keep all posts in the groups and have already hidden the posting box on the profile page but how can I disable posting to profiles from the sitewide activity page?
WP version: 3.9.1
BP version: 2.0.1

Hi everyone.
I am trying to develop a new Buddypress theme for a client and have a live test site running which I could use a bit of feedback for.
The theme will be called BBFacelook and combines Buddy/BB/Wordpress as well as some extra functions through plugins I find unmissable.
It would be a great help to get some feedback on where I am heading with this, as I would like to make a theme that will actually be desired by the community.
There is still a lot of work ahead of me and not all pages function as they should just yet, but most is accessable.
the forum is private and members can join by invite only, if someone would like to join just send me your email and I will send an invite.
Here is the URL : NSFW Cultivators Forum | BBFacelook
btw. the site using the theme is Cannabis orientated, just a heads up.
Thanks
Peter Hamilton
Why is there no “Profile” page listed among the “Pages” portion of this plugin???? … Please help me understand why I cannot upload or crop avatar images.
@gt-director RE Profile pages missing: probably theme issue or BP missing files in upload. So Change to the Twenty Fourteen theme to see if issue is resolved. If not, keep Twenty Fourteen activated and re-upload BuddyPress plugin manually.
RE cannot upload or crop avatar uploads: Did you enable avatar uploads in Settings > BuddyPress > Settings? https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/bpsettings1.png
@escudero95 check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/ You might just need to add some modifications to get what you want.
I’m very sorry. This is all so confusing for me – I didn’t realize that there was a difference between the WordPress “Dashboard”, (which is the v3.4.4 that I initially referred to when I started this thread) and the “WordPress” that I have installed (Which is v3.9.1). This version of WP should be more than compatible. 🙂 Please help me understand why I cannot upload or crop avatar images. Thank you for your help.
How it happens is not much of my concern, I do feel however that the Buddypress core crew should work with the people they feel comfortable with.
An image insert would be one of the important next steps to improve Buddypress, I used RTMedia during my development but found it bulky, now I use BP-Albums and that does an almost perfect job, in combination with the attachments plugin.
A post like system is also high on the list, same goes for an extended profile page, and the list is long.
I understand that plugins can/should do a lot of this paraphernalia and focus needs to be on the core functions of Buddy/BB/Wordpress so these plugins can become more effective and create less pageload.
But inline images would be on top of my list to see as a core function.
Anyway, I will keep watching these topics closely.
P.H.
ps. my current and first Buddypress project is : Cultivators Forum | BBFacelook theme
Hi buddypress users,
I have this error after signing up. It shows the error after clicking the sign up button. This is the error I’m getting >>>
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php on line 464
I have the latest version of wordpress and buddypress.
Any help with be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
@dainismichel I hope you created a child theme of bp-default instead of making your modifications on the bp-default theme directly. http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/
As for white screens, aside from increasing memory limits, have you tried renaming your child theme folder in server as well as deactivating all plugins by renaming the plugins folder in server to check if you can access wp-admin?
@mixtapela Screenshot of what I see when logged in https://www.dropbox.com/s/lf0opp378lvvn6h/activity-buttons.jpg and the only button out of alignment is the “Report User” button from Wangguard in some instances where a break tag is being inserted after that button.
Before contacting the plugin author for assistance https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wangguard please check whether deactivating some plugins which hook into the activity stream like BP Activity plus resolves the issue. Good luck.
This might be a wordpress issue and not buddypress. I was wandering how to put different widgets on different pages in the sidebar. For example I might want recent comments and archives on the blog page and bbpress related widgets on the forums page.
For now, I’ve come to another solution, where I allow users to Register new account with base Fields and a Role selection (Student or Lecturer in my case). They then fill in only base field and then after account creation they can update their Student or Lecture xProfile Group Fields in their profile page edit.
I do these above by using 3 plugins:
1. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpfront-user-role-editor/
This will allow me to add new Role: Student and Lecturer in my case (I have tried other Role plugin but they conflict with other plugins on my site, this one doesn’t).
2. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-roles-at-registration/
This one allow me to add a Drop down for New user to choose their wanted role : Student or Lecturer
3. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/
This plug in allow me to set buddypress xProfile group to a specific user role. In my case, I created two xProfile Group fields named “Student” and “Lecture” each has different fields. Then using this plugin I assigne the xProfile Student to Student Role, and the xProfile Lecturer to Lecturer Role.
That’s all done!
Meanwhile I will use this, but I still want to be able to have two sign up forms with different fields so that I can require New user to fill in the Required field to make the profile better. I can’t code much so hope someone will help!
@mercime Thanks for the link, I’ve checked it. But I think it’s not a wordpress or wamp issue, because I’ve been using these for the last 2 years and built about ten sites without any problem. I have changed the default permalinks setting to Post Name already.
