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 
There was a free plugin but it has not been updated for some time https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/import-from-ning/ There have been many changes to BP since the plugin was released though.
There’s a premium plugin http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/ning-to-buddypress-user-importer/
which states it’s compatible with latest version. There’s a link to contact them on same page for any pre-sales questions.
@cleaus I just found out that DailyPost is hosted in WP Theme Repo and the content-page.php code has the “missing” lines, see https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/dailypost/1.0.5/content-page.php
I see that the theme has a PRO version as well.
So are you using the pro version or the free one from WP theme repo? If you’re using the one from the repo, you should download another copy of the theme and re-upload it manually via FTP to make sure all files are there and I will work from the code in repository. If it’s the pro version, it’s weird that it’s missing some lines which are available in the free version.
BP 1.6 says this: Improves security of registration process, by relying on WordPress validation functions (#3949)
Does this mean that WordPress moderation plugins will work with BP now?
Paul, anyway it’s pretty simple to use both methods. We know that default wp_users support first_name, last_name, nickname and description (bio). Maybe you could make possibile to modify each of that from buddypress (i made it in my theme) and make a base group with these fields. Then if administrators want to add more fields and groups you could populate xprofile table. In this way you could have a more deep integration into WordPress.
OK, I’ve just tested BP 1.6.1 on WP 3.4.2 (BP Default theme) in my dev site.
Yes, the same issue is still persistent!
Also, I found an interesting post and I wonder if AJAX change is related with this issue…
AJAX changes in BuddyPress 1.6
Cool 
so a more deep integration into the wordpress core… Speaking of This, i’m just wondering why buddypress doesn’t use user_metadata and have a proprietary xprofile table.
Just to add @mercime I am a real novice to WordPress and BuddyPress so sorry if i dont completely understand!!
@fitnessblogger if you have child theme of bp-default theme or are using the BP template pack plugin and moved BP template folders/files, then copy over this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/create.php following the directory structure and make the change.
@dcavins Hey did you get a solution? I have exactly the same problem on a Linux server (RedHat).
Latest wordpress and buddypress versions, default theme… Looked all over the internet…
@abovenbelow,
give this a shot… I’m about to: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-groups-extras/
You may also want to check out: http://buddydev.com/tag/bp-gallery/ for the Gallery (but Brajesh is working on the next version), BP Media’s BP Album+ could also work for you; and you could give Boris’ Mapology plugin at http://shabushabu.eu a shot as well.
