While I was looking for the same answer I stumbled upon this: dev update. Boone B. Gorges made a “sample plugin to show how these visibility levels can be extended”: bbg-custom-bp-field-visibility Plugin just create a new folder in your wp-content/plugins, and upload bbg-custom-bp-field-visibility.php & loader.php into your new folder. Finally, modify bbg-custom-bp-field-visibility.php to your liking.
Sitewide forums are not activated. WP 3.4.1. BP 1.6.1.
Theme – twentyeleven
Plugins:
Backupwordpress
BP Better pagination
BP template pack
Theme my login
Wordpress importer
WP user control
Exclude pages from navigation
I have deactivated all plug ins and reactivated them one at a time… But it did not fix the problem. Can I just copy and past that code to the wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file/folder? I am not a programer and only know the basics. Would I go to my wordpress appearance/editor and paste this code. Or would I have to go through filezilla?
@mercime
Thanks a lot for your reply.
U have given such a simple solution that I cannot express my gratitude in words.

You would need to use a PHP code widget like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/
Use extreme caution when using such a widget. If you’re the only person that is able to access the Widgets page on your site, then you should be fine.
Btw, a shorter way to write that code is:
“
What about https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-mobile/ – it all depends on why you want an ‘app’ but that may be a good first stop solution?
@sudeepacharya current BP 1.6.1 is *not* compatible with WP 3.2.1. You should be upgrading your WP to 3.4.1 version. However, if you cannot do so at this time, you’d need to use BuddyPress version 1.5.1
All tagged versions in the SVN repository still exist and can always be downloaded.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags – not sure where the zip files are.
Not sure though why there would be a difference between 1.5.7 and 1.6 you may want to pass that by the theme authors.
You need to use / choose your theme not select BP out of the box
@Travel-Junkie
Is that plug-in a WordPress plug-in or a Firefox plug-in?
Hi Roger, thanks for the reply. I tried resetting my permalinks, no cigar. What, exactly, am I supposed to be looking for when I check my .htaccess for redirects?
This is the entire contents of my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Thank you.
Here’s a related thread — although, about post urls rather than member profile URLs, in the activity stream. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-wordpress-permalinks-breaks-old-buddypress-activity-updates-links/
Storing the post URL independent of the permalink structure, is a simple enough fix. It’s harder to think of a solution that could deal with 3rd party plugins (or manual) changes to the member URL structure (other than the core BuddyPress being enhanced to support a ‘permalink’ settings for BP members / components similar to those applied by WP to posts, categories, etc.)
Using phpmyadmin.. Export your tables to file on the source site, and import from that file on the destination site.
There are plenty of tutorials on moving a WordPress site.. Have a Google.
@keats18 Per scan of your theme’s HTML structure, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Akita theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /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
`<?php get_header();
themeblvd_main_start();
themeblvd_main_top();
themeblvd_breadcrumbs();
themeblvd_before_layout();
?>
You can use the filter bp_get_group_join_button to modify the class.
Have a read up on WordPress filters and actions.
You can put your filter in bp-custom.php or functions.php.
That said, I’m not sure what simply adding a class ‘confirm’ will achieve — is there some Javascript configured that will auto display a confirmation popup if the button has a class of ‘confirm’ added to it?
I haven’t solved the problem yet, Here’s were I’m looking https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter
Here’s were I think the filter needs to be added?
`
* @uses bp_insert_activity_meta()
* @uses apply_filters_ref_array() To call the ‘bp_get_activity_action’ hook
*
* @return string The activity action
*/
function bp_get_activity_action() {
global $activities_template;
$action = $activities_template->activity->action;
$action = apply_filters_ref_array( ‘bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta’, array( $action, &$activities_template->activity ) );
if ( !empty( $action ) )
$action = bp_insert_activity_meta( $action );
return apply_filters_ref_array( ‘bp_get_activity_action’, array( $action, &$activities_template->activity ) );
}
`
Some progress in debuging…
When i insert
[ sourcecode language=” php ” ][ /sourcecode ]
and open the post for editing, i get [ sourcecode language=”””” ][ /sourcecode ]
The word php disappeared and the place is double quoted !
Then i save these changes and the code cames up, but without colored synthax.
This is a first step on the right way. Colors are missing but code is showing correctly at 90%
Single quotes became curly for ex.
Probably backpress kses filtering.
I tried to deactivate BP’s filters bp_get_the_topic_post_content wptexturize and bp_get_the_topic_post_content bp_forums_filter_kses, but this changed nothing.
I posted on the support forum, but it seems still for a long time ago.

@chouf1
– I am using a child theme of bp-default theme, a port of apeatling’s design of BP 1.0 BuddyPress theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.0/bp-themes/bphome/screenshot.png
– Also that IS screenshot of the BuddyPress Group Forums new topic page. You can see the Group Name and Group Admins above the forum topic 
But going back to the syntax highlighter, I do see the issue now if I post HTML/PHP code just like yours instead of CSS which I posted above and used lately. I was able to find a work-around by using `[ sourcecode lang=”title” ] the code [ /sourcecode ]` (just remove the spaces before ahd after the brackets) Result: https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp161-shevolved-php.png
@chouf1 site is private, but I took a screenshot of the group forum topic I made for you as well as the screenshot of the config settings. I post code usually e.g.
[ sourcecode lang=”css” ] the code [ /sourcecode ]
or [ php ] the code [ /php ]
P.S. had to put the spacings between brackets or else it won’t show up here.
http://myplayfulself.com/wordpress/ Just downloaded today. Neither the Registration or the Activate selections show up on the bar. I don’t know how people are supposed to register or what and Activation Code is?
I have a plugin called BP Verified and you could use it identify a normal editor acount as a site “admin” not the WordPress install admin. This would draw attention away from the real admin account.
I’m not seeing how someone can tell your an admin if the username is not admin. if you change the username to something else the account will just look like any other account. If you are so concerned about someone breaking into your site lock down the wp backend to your home ip address or google some of the options to protecting WordPress.
Also backup database regularly so you can just reinstall if hacked.
I ‘may’ not have the right end of the stick with what you are looking to do but this:
`wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), bp_get_version() );
`
You can hook into that ‘array’ if you want to.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script
$deps
(array) (optional) Array of handles of any script that this script depends on (scripts that must be loaded before this script). false if there are no dependencies. This parameter is only required when WordPress does not already know about this script.
Default: array()

I have same problem… ALL link redirect to homepage! this after update Buddypress to 1.6.1 WordPress to 3.4.1 BBpress to 2.1.2
i am desperated… thousand of users can’t use my site… please help me please
@boone
What changed with bp_options_nav?
bp_options_nav = ‘new_name’;
no longer works, neither does position
EDIT: nvrmd found your blog post http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/manually-modifying-single-group-navigation-in-bp-1-5/
looks like codex needs and update.
for those searching:
`$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug] = ‘New Name’;`
