Parts of the WordPress/BuddyPress profile relationship has been covered elsewhere, but I haven’t been able to find a conclusive discussion on the subject, so I’m taking the liberty of bringing it up again.
First, we have the WordPress profile with the usual such as email address, names, password, bio, along with the dashboard preferences.
Then there’s the bbPress profile with its own forum-oriented tabs, however, it still preserves access to almost all the settings in the WordPress profile, except of course for the dashboard preferences that are no longer relevant in the front-end.
Finally, there is BuddyPress, where only the account email and password are editable. Names, contact info, and the biographical info are not included. There are, however, the Extended Profile’s custom fields, but they do not substitute the above fields.
I think a few things here need clarification (I have linked to existing relevant discussions):
- What’s behind the decision to not include these settings in the BuddyPress profile?
- Why aren’t the bbPress and the BuddyPress profiles merged? #4357
- Why aren’t the BuddyPress and the WordPress profiles merged? #3335
- In addition to above, If bbPress at least to an extent is merging its profiles with the WordPress profile, why is BuddyPress not doing the same?
- Finally, can anybody explain, based on editing template files, how to add these settings, the same settings that WordPress offers at
wp-admin/profile.phpand bbPress offers in their profile, under the BuddyPress profile’s settings?
Thank you.

BuddyPress – WordPress Profile Syncronizationhey guys,
I’m making a two way messaging system where a staff member can contact any user inside wordpress, but the other party can only contact the staff member assigned to them. The assignment is done manually by storing the ID of the staff member in the user’s user meta.
I’d like to utilize buddypress for it’s awesome private messaging system just tweak it slightly:
1. only allow members with the subscriber role to contact the assigned staff member.
2. allow staff member role to contact anyone in the system.
3. remove friends functionality for everyone.
4. I need the subscribers template the page is viewed through to look completely different then the staff member’s view.
This is fairly ambitious but I’m confident with the awesome flexibility BP has we can get it done. Any pointers or tips or code is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
~ Brad
Hello, I am relatively new to WordPress-Buddypress, HTML and CSS and I would like your help to figure out what happened.
Almost a year ago I had set up a website on WordPress and I had installed Buddypress, and using a child theme and CSS I made all the customizations I wanted. After I finished and for some personal reasons I did not opened the website for some months (it was password locked) and now I’m coming to see that half of the styles I applied are gone!
The first thing I thought was that it was my mistake – that these CSS changes were made in the core files and not in the stylesheet of the child theme. But I don’t think that this is the case. Later I thought that since then it has been a long time and many updates and may now the browsers handle some elements differently (!)…but, I don’t think so! Now I think that some how and without even update my Buddypress/Wordpress installation some of the IDs changed. Is this possible?
For example, In the User Groups page there was an ID “#groups-sort-by” for the “Order By” drop down menu. This menu lost its style and its current ID is “groups-order-by”. Another example, in the Activity Steams page there is a “What’s new…” text area field that used to have ID “#whats-new-post-in” and now it has “whats-new”. Is this correct or am I just a VERY confused Newbie???:)
I will fix them again but I’m afraid if this happens again then there is no meaning in having a child theme or to keep backups since they can’t help if the IDs changed. Thanks for any advice you can provide!
I need some help to insert code where necessary to accomplish the following.
I have different Roles set up, and for one of the Roles I’d like to strip out some of the BuddyPress sub navigation links so that this particular role won’t have access to certain things. I basically just want this role to see the sub nav links of Profile: View, Edit and Change Avatar.
Is it possible to do this by using an IF statement? PHP is new to me and I’m not sure how to write it.
Does someone know exact code and exactly where I would place it? I’m thinking I’d need to insert it on the profile, edit, and change-avatar.php pages, but not sure.
I’m using BuddyPress version 1.9.2 and WordPress version 3.8.1
Thanks, Sheri
Topic: [Resolved] Very slow queries
I am getting error messages such as this from my hosting provider, which they are guessing are slowing down my website:

bp-activity-classes.php:387 Efficiency: 0.001 | Rows Sent/Affected: 50 | Rows Examined: 95380Any ideas?
I am using BuddyPress 1.9.2 version and WordPress version 3.8.3. I have almost 60,000 registered users, each with multiple profile fields.
Thanks in advance!
Just a note to folks using SEO Ultimate.
After a recent update, my Buddypress pages would not load. Blank white page and source stalled at:
<!– SEO Ultimate (http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/wordpress-seo/) –>
when the page tried to load.
Deactivating allowed all buddy press pages to load again. This is try for both 1.9 and 2.0 versions of BP.
Topic: How to message users… help?
Hi there, this i’m hoping is a very silly question to ask, but for the life of me, I cannot see a way for an ADMIN to send a notification “message” to a member through the backend admin area of wordpress.
I actually want the setting of allow members to message each other to be disabled, but even so, surely there must be a way for admins to communicate with users.
please help, best wishes Craig
@jconti – probably best as a separate plugin rather than bundling too much in to WangGuard.
A modernised version of https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-moderation/ would be ideal, as that plugin already does most of what’s required – it just needs lots of cleanup.
Admin settings interface:
Choose which content types should get a report/flag link (including things like status updates, comments, groups, forums, members, posts, articles, etc).
Customise link text, eg. “Report %username%” or “Flag %contenttype%” etc.
Decide how many reports something needs before an automatic response is triggered. Eg. if 5 people have flagged a comment as bad, person who made that comment should get a customised message and the message should optionally be forwarded to an admin.
The message I’ve set up in BP Moderation plugin looks like this:
%AUTHORNAME%,
Several users reported your content as inappropriate:
%CONTENTURL%.A community moderator has been notified and will review the content. If it is found to be in violation of our site terms of use, your account will be removed.
%SITENAME%
Front-end UI:
Make HTML as consistent as possible, but compatible with the UI found for the specific type of content.
Ensure there is a specific class on all flag/report links, eg. class=”abuse-button”
Ensure there is a content type specific class on each flag link, eg. class=”abuse-type-comment”
Ensure there is a state specific class on all links, eg: class=”not-flagged” or class=”is-flagged” as applicable.
Use AJAX when user flags/unflags something to avoid page refresh.
Management Interface:
There should perhaps be two management interfaces, one for site admins in the WP backend, and one for forum/group mods in the front-end.
In the backend, see BP Moderation plugin for an example.
In the front-end, it would be nice if say a group admin/moderator would get messages about problem users in their group and be able to deal with it themselves (via front-end UI, I don’t want normal users of my site going in to WP backend). This would reduce workload of WP site admins.
Spam integration:
I assume this is something native to WP but it might be from a plugin, not sure. Anyway, in admin area when you go in to Comments or Topics, etc., and hover over content items you get a spam link in the links that appear:
It would be nice if when the auto-response message is triggered (as mentioned earlier – for example after 5 people report something) it could be marked as spam. When marked as spam, content is hidden from the front-end and moved to a ‘spam’ folder on the backend. This would mean if several people report something it is temporarily hidden while an admin looks in to it – if the admin thinks it’s ok they can un-spam it, otherwise they can delete it.
I have no idea which content types / reply types support this spam thing. It would also be worth checking with whoever implemented the spam thing to see what their future plans are?
Other Notes:
If the new plugin could provide hooks so that other plugins such as WangGuard could hook in to it, that would be ideal. For example, if WangGuard sees a blacklisted word in a comment it could automatically flag it or something like that.
It would be useful if there was a record kept of how many times a user’s content has been flagged enough times to trigger auto-responses. This would enable admins to spot repeat-offenders who are regularly annoying other end-users and factor that in to any subsequent decision making (eg. should I ban that user?).
It would be nice if there was a way to auto-suspend a member account if lots of their content is getting reported/flagged. This ties in with the count thing mentioned above. So if they’ve spammed groups and forums with spammy adverts, etc., and as a result other members have reported those things several times, the offending user would be auto-suspended if they have more than say 3 items moved to spam at any given time.
