== I have tried uninstalling buddypress, but it didn’t even show a registration page after that. ==
@swagcannon change to Twenty Eleven theme and deactivate all plugins. Then check your registration in basic WP install. If that doesn’t work, try to re-upload WP files manually – via FTP/cpanel/filemanager etc. and check if registration works. If that doesn’t work, please go to https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting for assistance
== I installed and activated BuddyPress after importing all the content from my previous CMS and none of the posts show up in the activity stream for the appropriate member. ==
Because those Posts/activities were done before BP was activated, BP was not able to “record” those posts in the activity stream. New posts from this time shall be recorded in the sitewide activity stream as well as respective members’ activity streams. As for the plugin updates, it’s up to the plugin developer.
Sorry, I meant to mention that this is a multisite install and the activity is really not there, on the backend. (It’s not a theme problem.)
Hey @Mercime! Thanks for checking back!
I need child-like instructions as I am still learning wordpress…but I promise I am trying really hard!!! Where do I go on the dashboard/admin panel to access “wp-content”? Under settings? Appearance? I don’t see anything that says “wp-content” on the admin panel….
Sorry for such a stupid question, and I appreciate your help!
Any idea why the plugin is creating its own user_meta and options tables, and not using the standard WordPress tables for this?
The issue was with an earlier installation of BuddyPress. It was a matter of reinstalling WordPress. Everything is working well now with the exception of the avatar cropping, lol. Thanks for your help mercime!
@waiyea As mentioned above, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your zenon-lite theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your zenon-lite 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:
`
<div id=”post-“>
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
// Titles Of Respective BP Page Templates //
`
Save files.
I bugged @yoast twice on Twitter, once a couple of weeks ago and once just yesterday, looking only for a way to simply turn OFF his plugin for anything in my /member-directory folder or deeper.
I figured it’s not worth me being a pest, so this morning after finding yet another new discussion here, I decided to cycle through SEO plugins until I found one that worked –
this leaves my Buddypress title tags intact – HOOray –
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gregs-high-performance-seo
I kept a few notes and was going to blog about it (and still might) but Gregs High Performance SEO does appear to work alright with Buddypress,
If i poke around I can likely figure out autogen on the description tags too, because the plugin DOES insert a blank one, whereas none of the others did anything for the desc tag.
Unfortunately, the author hasn’t put out a new one in almost a year, but at least my long running issue of no unique tags tags is solved for now 
@waiyea I see that you’ve created a child theme of https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/zenon-lite
Looked over zenon lite, this is to let you know that you will have to change 16 BP files transferred to your zenon lite child theme folder during the Appearance > BP compatibility process. I see that the parent theme’s default page.php has right sidebar, then you also have page templates for sidebar on the left and full-width page. Which among the three layouts did you want for all your BuddyPress pages?
Asynaptic,
We should set up something more formal then, perhaps you can put his contact information on here and anyone who comes across this post in the future can contact him.
In the meantime, I think the best solution is as follows:
1. Use a standard wordpress SEO plugin to modify the individual page SEO meta data.
2. Install group forums.
3. Utilize bbPress plugins and features for SEO.
Then push the community to participate in group forum discussions for important questions and answers. It will allow more flexibility in posts anyways.
Adding the template fields is one thing, but you’d need to write a bunch of glue logic to handle saving and fetching the input to/from the WordPress profile.
I don’t think is possible because when a user signs up they are added as a subscriber and given a profile.
I was able to exclude from directory, but is there a way to prevent certain user roles from having a profile created?
Hi Paul,
WordPress Version 3.4.2
Buddypress Version 1.6.1
This was a fresh build of both WP and BP, and the timestamps are correct on my posts.
The timezone is correct, but I’ve not tried any scheduled posts yet, so can’t answer that one.
What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using? Is this a clean database, or did you port it from the staging site? If so, was it upgraded from a previous BP build.
Are all other timestamps (e.g. on blog posts) correct? Is your timezone set in wp-admin Settings > General?
Do scheduled blog posts work as expected?
You could post at

@newspress I did my homework. for the last 4 years i have been using phpfox as it was ideal but the direction of my site is changing and wordpress/ mu/ buddypress is more suited.
@mercime any ideas where i can find a bp dev who could do this?
If it is possible. I have a phpfoxv3 site running and will be using wordpress/ buddypress to replace but if it is not possible, then i am still happy to start fresh
@bibliata I believe there’s a misunderstanding here. You should not be changing anything within the bp-default theme in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/
If you want to revise the bp-default theme, you should create a child theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
BP Columns is already a child theme of bp-default theme. If you want to make any style changes in this child theme, the simplest thing to do there is add your new styles at the bottom of custom.css file and back it up since it will be overwritten when it’s upgraded. Or, you can create a new css file e.g. mystyles.css in BP Columns theme folder to add your new styles to, then open up style.css file and add
`@ import url( mystyles.css );`
under `@ import url( custom.css );`
(remove the space between @ and import when you do this)
If you’re using Firefox, install the Firebug add-on to help you ID what elements need to be changed.
And, as I’ve mentioned in the other post, you can use a WP theme which approximates the layout you need and install the BP Template Pack plugin. For reference, we have a list of “bp-template-packed” WP themes, free and premium @ https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
Guys, this really is outside the scope of this forum as it pertains to a third party plugin. Someone may or may not answer these types of support requests. This support forum is for answering questions like “how do I set up the BuddyPress Pages”.
s2member uses WordPress Roles and Capabilities: https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
Learn about how that works and then you can wrap any code you want hidden by s2member. Specificly user levels/roles. Google it
