@simpleone,
you found the reason why it doesn’t work on one site and not on the other !
1.9.1 and 2.0.1 are sligthly different BP version !
And the function you mention whas only introduced in BP 2.0, so this can’t anyway work on previous versions.
Actually there is a small bug in BP 2.0+ when using this function to modify profile groups. I opened a ticket about this and @imath provided a patch that works and let the function handle correctly on profile groups. I personnally use this function to conditionnally show/hide fields from the base group without problems. My profile form contains over 20 fields in differents groups, even Base, and are all required and viewable by members only.
I advise you to cancel whatever you have done about this so far, to apply the patch, to add the function to bp-custom.php and to test again.
The buttons on the individual profile and group pages have completely disappeared. Buttons like “Add Friend” and “Join Group” are completely absent. What may have caused this and how can I get them back? Running WordPress 3.9.1 and BuddyPress 2.0.1.
Check out this article on what hooks are and how you can use them to interact with WordPress and BuddyPress:

Hello,
after upgrading buddypressto version 2.0.1 admin bar is not shown in any custom page. I load custom pages with bp_core_load_template function. The templates are created in FriscoForBuddypress child theme. WordPress version is:Version 3.9.1
Does anyone else face the same problem? What can i do to show admin bar again?
Thanks.
Sorry, I am new to WordPress and BuddyPress so I Need some more information.
Hallo my registrationform is giving me this on the page: User registration is currently not allowed. And when I click on activitystream (community) I’m getting directed to members (leden).
I’m using wordpress 3.9.1. Link to my website.
Are you on a apache or a windows server ? phpinfo() will show you if mod_rewrite is on and server softaware on use.
What is writen in your htaccess file ?
If you’re on IIS, read here.
The only one I have personally tested is this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-moderation/
It’s clunky but seems to work. I have no idea what mess it might create in the database.
For any community or social networking platform to survive, it’s essential that content moderation can be divested to and distributed amongst the end-users. IMHO this sort of functionality should be bundled with BuddyPress.
In addition, i woud warn any user who want to use bp_parse_args to exclude profile groups (exclude_groups only), that you will get a php warning.
To avoid this, please read this ticket and apply the patch (BP 1.5 to 2.0.1).

if this part of the core functionality (and the chat as well), then so much the better.
I agree. And if you do feel that way, you should go say so at the Trac ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4126
@localiseorg
Thanks for the info about these block user plugin options! I have my fingers crossed that the one in the wordpress.org repository will work as advertised.. but it says it is plugin v1.beta – and says compatible up to 3.6 (or something like that)
Have you have a chance to test these to see if they work as intended? Any idea if installing and running them for a little bit and then decided to deactivate leaves behind problems with the database or anything?
Hi guys.
ive tried re-installing WordPress, and then buddypress 10 times in the last 2 days and im suffering from the same problem that i see many people seem to have.
I set up in accordance with the turorials. when i click Add new group, or any profile edit link, im returned a 404. None of the groups, activity or users pages work. I’ve tried using both twenty twelve and twenty fourteen themes and both have the same problem.
If im honest im pretty much beaten now. For something that is supposedly easy to set up, it doesnt inspire a great deal of confidence that so many people seem to be having this issue. My site is http://www.everyonesawesome.com
I have been trying to post my question on this forum, but I keep getting an error that says “Error: Your topic cannot be created at this time.”
So I posted my question on WordPress Answers:

2. Profile header to show more info of use at a glance (much like what is shown on buddypress homepage that showcases James Jacoby’s profile header)

Hi @rybo3000,
Perhaps you can use BuddyDrive, who works on profiles and use many many mime types (so far you selct them). Not a “post”, but each uploaded file is handled separatly, profile by profile.
Use Multi site WordPress install for that. If you want same use base but separate activity stream then use the following plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/
Thanks for your post.
Good to know that I’m not the only one.
I still couldn’t get it fixed.
It really looks like it’s a bug that exist since the new update of WordPress and Buddypress.
Just 2 very simple additions that make life easier:
– Please make a regular option to change the slug of a group. It is weird that we have to install a years old plugin by JJJ in order to do so? (http://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-edit-group-slug/)
– Also, there is no ‘view group’ link on the group backend editor. Makes it a lot easier to get to the group page.
Thanks for considering.
I am trying to fix my user activation page (see this forum post). Here are the errors on the site in debug mode:
Error shown throughout site:
Notice: bp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 1.7.) in /var/www/vhosts/thesitename.com/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3245
Errors shown on Activation page (after user registers they are sent an email with an activation link, they click on it and are sent to this page. The page should have content, but for some reason it is completely blank):

Any help would be appreciated 🙂
@amid11 you could use WP user meta to tally the ratings. +1 for an up-vote and -1 for a down-vote. Querying by user meta is supported by WP_Query – see here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Custom_Field_Parameters
It is link to my instalation -> http://www.randkujemy.pl
I have buddypress 2.0.1 and wordpress 3.9.1

I am running buddypress 2.0.1 and wordpress 3.9.1, as well as a child theme of kleo 1.3. Thanks again!
Hi guys!
I have extended my WordPress sign up form with additional BP profile fields. All text fields save to the database just fine apart from multi fields (I’m using checkboxes and dropdowns). The default values are not set, nor is the information saved to the database. Any ideas what may cause that? I’m running latest versions of WP and BP and have tested on a clean site with BP as only plugin.
Thanks
@godavid33 that plugin is actually free. Maybe tear open the code to see if a solution jumps out at you? Just an idea.
Regarding your problem, I came across the issue a few months back when 1.9 was rolled out. You need to capture the item’s ID when adding a notification. See here for some related discussion
