benbick1614OK nevermind you can’t login directly from the toolbar. I am wrong. It does redirect you to your profile immediately without ever seeing the wordpress dashboard. If I can fix this I can finally get my site up and running. If you have any idea how to help please advise.
trailmix5Does anyone have a wild idea I haven’t thought of? I’ve been back in forth between this forum and DAP support but I’m totally stumped. The only difference that I can see in the users I created in Dap synched to WP vs. the users I created in WP alone is that…
The WP only users: BP displays their full name in the forums, but the profile page links to their user name. This is the working users config!
The DAP users: BP displays their username in the forums and the profile is also their username. These users cannot access their profiles.
When I campare the two in WordPress/Users, I cannot see any difference, so there must be something happening during registration, right? Is there any way to alter the way BP registers users or does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks for all of your help!
@mercime@voarsh either you’d have to learn to code this yourself
or ask WebPurify if they’d create a plugin to integrate with BuddyPress
or hire a developer to do so at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/ or http://jobs.wordpress.net
@mercimeRe permissions error:
– Please post issue.when BuddyPress is installed in a network created by Networks for WP plugin at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/networks-for-wordpress
Re: what the “use excisting installation” & “install group forums” differences are.
– If you have never installed Group Forums before, i.e., no bb-config.php at the root of your WP install, then you would click on “Install Group Forums” button
– Click “Use existing installation” means using the Group Forums (BP’s internal custom bbPress) which was created in BP version prior to upgrade to latest version.
Re: And just in case I need to have more added to wp-config.php, this is the BP related define I have in there: define(‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);
– https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/bp_enable_multiblog/
At this stage, I suggest removing that from your wp-config.php until you resolve permissions issues
GuitarAgora@mercime I have been trying to put a sidebar on members “profile” page. For instance a side bar on a page like this http://www.guitaragora.com/members/marcel/ … Does that make sense?
HiranthiWith the “Oh and it’s a subsite of a second network in that installation and I did add the multisite define to wp-config.php.” I mean the following:
I have famire.nl as the main site (main network). I am using the ‘Networks for WordPress’ plugin by David Dean to be able to add multiple networks in my installation. My site onexa.nl is one of the networks.
Inside that network I have a subsite called clients.onexa.nl (which I want to use as an extranet) and inside that site I have BuddyPress enabled.
I understand differences between sitewide & group forums are btw (can’t remember mentioning the sitewide forums though). What I’m not sure of is what the “use excisting installation” & “install group forums” differences are.
And just in case I need to have more added to wp-config.php, this is the BP related define I have in there: `define(‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);`
forfutureA. Installing Forums for Groups only
Step 1. Go to admin dashboard > Settings > BuddyPress > Forums. Click on “Install Group Forums”
Step 2. New bbPress Installation. You’ve decided to set a new bbPress for forum management in BuddyPress. This is very simple and is usually just a one click process. When you’re ready, hit the link below. Click on “Complete Installation”
Here is the problem in step number three sugar you add this in the last config file bb-config.php
Did not work
Step 3. All done! Configuration settings have been saved to the file bb-config.php in the root of your WordPress install.
@mercimeFound the ticket and posting here for reference https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4562
@mercime== I have been trying to but a sidebar on my member home page ==
What do you mean?
Paul Wong-Gibbs@mercime@wizza Based on the structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your sportsmag theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your 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
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to make sure that the BP Templates’ page title’s header which have`
` are changed to `
` and move to just above `
Save files.

Let me know if I need to clear anything up.
rossagrantHi Karma/ Paul,
Thanks for the explanation guys.
How would I verify if this was firing?
The cron job is definitely being updated in terms of the times it shows for running. It seems to run once per day.
The thing is, I have just set up a brand new vanilla BP install of the latest version of BP 1.6.1 and after using the WP Cron Dashboard plugin to check on cron jobs, it too shows that NO action exists.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cron-dashboard/
That is now 3 separate installs it’s showing no action for.
Perhaps there has been an issue on a BP update, but i’ve checked crons regularly from the dashboard to make sure they are all still there, and I’ve never noticed an issue with this job in the past.
All other crons show just fine WITH actions existing.
Perhaps someone else could install the plugin and see if they get the same result.
To set up the cron, you should only need to post to the activity stream once after installing BP on a fresh install.
The job will then show up under the Tools —> Wp Cron menu in the dashboard.
Hopefully we’ll work it out.
Let me know how I can help out.
9087877You can download BP Activity Plus plugin here:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/
It allows easy sharing of photos, youtube videos, and links!
Paul Wong-GibbsThis problem was caused by a change made by Gravatar. We have a bug ticket tracking the issue at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4571
MqlteThank you for your quick reply. This is strange because my page never had anything to do with gravatar.com. I also deactivated the plugin “Jetpack for WordPress” which seemd to be a possible trigger for this i0.wp.com, but nothing changed.
What do you mean with “I’ll raise it with Automat(t)ic”? I’m not a native English speaker.

@mercime1. Sure. If you want the complaints to be private, just set up a contact form. If you want complaints to be public or semi-private set up Group and/or Sitewide forums.
2. You need the Domain Mapping plugin. Then you need either:
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ OR
– http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-multi-network-plugin-create-multiple-separate-social-networks-on-a-single-buddypress-install/
You’d have to ask plugin devs whether either or both are compatible with Domain Mapping plugin though I haven’t heard issues with either so far.
3. In either multinetwork plugins above, there are ways and means to do what you need – some coding required.
4. Yes, using either of the multinetwork plugin above, you do keep those components separate.
5. Yes, I posted both in #2
6. No, the networks do not have to use the same theme at all.
7. No limit to number of networks. One can only be limited by server and coding skills.
maddogmcewantry the QUICK FLAG plugin (http://www.techytalk.info/wordpress-plugins/quick-flag/), it will get you half way there
Tammie ListerHi, you can perhaps start by looking at this thread it should give you some pointers: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/using-the-wordpress-login-and-register-pages-instead-of-buddypress/

Paul Wong-GibbsNot possible yet. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4436
guzhThanks 
I manage to convert SMF to phpbb and from phpbb to bbPress. However I didn’t like the bbPress-forum.. and somehow the different boards from SMF and phpbb didn’t work out in bbPress..
Is there some way to connect either SMF or phpbb to buddypress?
I found this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-single-sign-on/
and that might be a solution, but I think it would be better if it was more integrated with buddypress
