ztorageI read here: http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/buddypress-1-6-beta-1/ that BP 1.6 is supported on WP 3.4+. I had 3.3.1 installed (the one that’s in the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories). Upgrading to 3.4.2 fixed the issue.
mgkollerOne solution would check the mod_rewrite module in Apache is on. This deals with the permalink problems.

GordonReThanks @Trailmix5.
Yes I’ve read your post a couple of times and the tips and responses.
I am not using DAP. I get the same result logged in as a user or administrator ie
– users added directly into WordPress after BP installation show up under their not very friendly username; they have no
– users added before BP installation show up with display name, have profile pages and prior existing meta data shows up on profile page.
Anyone have an idea? @mercime?
[I note in the OP I said “When logged in as one of the new users:” – this is confusing and should be ignored. I thought for a moment there was a difference in behaviour between admin and new users but there is not.
Thanks for any tips.
Gordon
@mercime@wcten you’ll need to wrap the HTML structure of the page around the content of this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/activity/permalink.php which would be in your server wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder/members/single/activity/permalink.php
If you used the first method for Step 3 (changing 16 template files), then copy over the revision for the top part of the files and replace ` ` Next, copy over the revision for the bottom part of the files and replace ` `
@mercime== I looked in the messages php files and did not see any width adjustments ==
In many cases, one only needs to adjust 16 template files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles which have the major HTML containers for the content of all other BP template files. As you will see, the message templates are not included there because the messages content is contained in the members page structure. In some cases, one only needs to create two files for theme compatibility. Come BP 1.7, you won’t even need the BP template pack plugin anymore as theme compatibility is being built into the BuddyPress plugin itself.
Have you brought this to the attention of the one who fixed your BP template files? What WP theme are you using? Do you have a screenshot of the issue compared to other “tamed” BP pages?
carmeetsroadI found this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/opengraph/ ** You guys think it will solve the problem? **
Famous@mercime – because I use wordpress & buddypress, I do my best to not ever rely on anything paid. Do you happen to know of any other way, or will it be built in the future?
Thanks
QuintThere is no precedent in which Brajesh does not deliver above and beyond the call of duty. Given the complexity and volume of plugins he builds and maintains along with the many one-off coding requests, a healthy dose of latitude is advisable, imho. I guess at the right price you may find someone who will build what you want and may even maintain it as WordPress/BuddyPress constantly gets updated.
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.
