I updated Jetpack, BP Menus, Post Topics, Google Analytics, WP Facebook AutoConnect paid.
When I disabled BP Menus I could see the Post Update button. After submitting the activity update through a non-Facebook WordPress account and then refreshing the page, the update displays. However when I try to login via Facebook and post a status update while it seems to submit the update properly when I refresh the page the update disappears.
@djpaul, @hnla, @r-a-y, @mercime et al,
I’ll move the conversation back over on to the trac ticket, as I think that’s the best place for this discussion to stop it becoming lost.
As @hnla points out bbPress whilst supporting template parts auto injected into page.php, also allows you to provide full templates for specific content where you want to override the automatic mechanism (TBC). As with the WordPress template hierarchy it’s based on the type and name of the content being displayed. So, for example — you could create a template archive-myforumxyz.php.
I suspect a similar hierarchy based system for BuddyPress would be best route — with template hierarchy names that recognise display of single groups, single profiles, directories, etc., and override the auto injection into page.php if defined.
Will elaborate my thoughts on the trac.
Ray,
Thanks for the help. I created the custom file like the directions said to and placed the code in like this:
`<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
remove_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );
?>
`
However, registration page still does the redirect. 
Any other suggestions? It is in the wp-content/plugins/ directory.
if you consider accomplishing the task by hitting my laptop with a fuzzy mallet, pouring coffee into the keyboard to “wake up” the computer, downloading databases, failing at recovering my backup, then needing flop and then flip versions of BP back and forth, and then just waving my hands over the computer chanting “oh buddypress and wordpress update work oh work hhoooommiiiiii aaaah”
and then it working.
then yes.
PS: i did very few of the above mentioned steps and do not recommend you try them at home.
I’m using WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.6.1. I think they are the latest versions.
It’s a single site.
I’m hosted at Bluehost.
I started the website by downloading WordPress then immediately downloading Buddypress.
I have deactivated all other plugins except Buddypress and bbpress, and yes, I went back to the default theme.
My registration page has been giving me problems. At first it was a blank page but I figured out how to get the registration to at least show up (the blank page was from conflicting plugins). Now I can fill in all of my information on the registration page but when I press “complete sign up,” it refreshes the page back to the registration page with all of my info still filled in except my password. No account is created. No email is sent.
I have registration enabled and have tried registering as not just a “member” but some of the other ones. I have tried different themes, deactivating all of the plugins, and trying to find someone who knows what is wrong. I’m new to buddypress so I’m not sure what to really do.
Hi @wpmirwin, this part of code above is from buddypress Notifcation manager plugin.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-notifications-manager/
mybe this plugin can help you.
this function hide the notifications subnav, and it should work in bp 1.5 and bp 1.6
function bp_hide_notifications_subnav(){
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_subnav_item($bp->settings->slug, ‘notifications’);
if ( bp_use_wp_admin_bar() ) {
add_action( ‘wp_before_admin_bar_render’, create_function(
”, ‘global $bp, $wp_admin_bar; $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( “my-account-settings-notifications” );’ ) );
}
}
//if is not bp 1.5
if ( version_compare( BP_VERSION, ‘1.5’ ) < 0 )
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_hide_notifications_subnav’);
else
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_hide_notifications_subnav’ );
If you were using the WordPress registration page before while running BuddyPress, then it was actually a bug in BuddyPress! 
However, if you really need to use the WP registration page, add this code snippet to /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:
`remove_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );`
This snippet disables the redirect from WP’s registration to BP’s registration page. It’s not really recommended to this, so I note this as a disclaimer now!
You’ll also want to probably remove the “Registration” page from the BuddyPress admin settings area so that page cannot be used for registering.
In BP 1.7, BuddyPress looks for the following files in your theme’s folder to determine which page BP uses for the skeleton:
`’plugin-buddypress.php’
‘buddypress.php’
‘community.php’
‘generic.php’
‘page.php’
‘single.php’
‘index.php’`
If you need to do a conditional based on a specific BP page component, there’s a filter in `bp_get_query_template()` to override it. Note: I haven’t tested this yet.
You could also use BP page conditionals with template parts within one of the templates listed above. That’s probably the easiest way without having to use filters.
References:
bp_get_theme_compat_templates():
`https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php#L292`
bp_get_query_template():
`https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php#L140`
Not possible right now (the backend doesn’t support querying by dates). Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4428
Good point. Looks like a good trac ticket to post
In the example you posted above, however, this can already be accomplished if you have a page.php which includes a sidebar by default. When you edit the Group Directory page and choose the Full Width template, the directory page is rendered in full page. The single group pages take on the HTML structure of the theme’s default page.php which has a sidebar.
If however, you want all the BP templates to have full-width layouts for example, and have a default page.php with a sidebar, then that will be problematic …. unless you copy over the BP templates in your theme and add “, “ and “ which could include conditional statements and a different HTML structure surrounding the BP components. Of course this is theoretical since I haven’t tested it yet
EDIT – I see you’ve posted it in trac already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3741#comment:55
Those menus aren’t provided by BuddyPress, so it won’t work. Are you using the https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/ plugin, by chance?
show_admin_bar() was introduced in WordPress 3.1. What version of WordPress do you have
i guessed at the naming convention and just added “.zip” to the filename.
so if the current version is at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.6.1.zip
then 1.5 is https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.5.zip
i was guessing though and could not find that info posted anywhere though it likely is…

Hello Paul,
sure, here is the screenshot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/16/wordpress165122.png/
I accessed that through Appearance > Menus
Thank you,
Phil.
thnx crew!
back to guessing a bit, trying to download the versions. i’m here poking around: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser#tags/1.5.1
would i need to download those folders, rename them buddypress and then upload that way?
where do i download the older versions of buddypress?
best,
dainis
@elmindo Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your nevada theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your nevada theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with the following:
`<?php
global $lambda_meta_data;
$meta_sidebar = $lambda_meta_data->get_the_value(‘sidebar’);
$meta_sidebar = (!empty( $meta_sidebar )) ? $meta_sidebar : get_option_tree( ‘select_sidebar’ );
get_header();
get_template_part( ‘template-part’, ‘slider’ );
get_template_part( ‘template-part’, ‘teaser’ );
if($meta_sidebar != UT_THEME_INITIAL.’sidebar_none’) {
lambda_before_content($columns=”);
} elseif($meta_sidebar == UT_THEME_INITIAL.’sidebar_none’) {
lambda_before_content($columns=’sixteen’);
}
?>
<section id="post-” >
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
// Respective Page Titles //
` where applicable, then move this to above `
` Just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
Google how to hide WordPress there is information
thank you for your answer @modemlooper,
you know just after any page has been loaded, by clicking ‘view source’ anybody can see the source. In between tags source there things like:
link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’plugin-css’ href=’http://website.com/wp-content/plugins/nameplugin/style.min.css?ver=3.0.2′ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />
link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’wp-plugin-css’ href=’http://website.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-plugin/plugin-name-css.css?ver=2.70′ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />
script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js?ver=3.4.2′>
script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://website.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/js/widget-members.js?ver=1.6.1′>
script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://website.com/wp-content/themes/js/buddypress.js?ver=3.4.2′>
bla bla bla…
So anybody can easily know what plugins are you using in your site. I’d like to know if there is anyway to prevent visitors to know that the site is developed with such plugins?. I mean, I want those source code were hidden or encrypted and they only to recognize the site as just a PHP site. It’s obvious anybody can view the source of a site using their browser. But some sites I have seen, even by viewing the source code, it’s not possible to find out whether it’s a wordpress site or not.
thanks.
to hide plugins folder place a blank file index.html in /plugins/index.html. but there should be an html.php file that wordpress places there.
BuddyPress Version 1.6.1
Wordpress version 3.4.2
I am using the default Buddypress theme. I did checkout the link you provided and it looks like I installed everything ok.
HI ,
you can use BuddyPress reCAPTCHA
Use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-recaptcha/
the plugin work fine in bp 1.6 but you need to Edit the ‘bp-recaptcha.php’ file to make your settings.
read the installation faq of the plugin.
