Did you upgrade on your live site? Never do this. Always have a testing setup so you avoid these situations.
Revert back to 1.5.6 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/developers
BuddyPress does not come with an “Add New User” admin page. You are probably referring to WordPress’ User admin page.
I just took a look at your StackExchange thread and it appears you’re using WordPress Multisite:
This is very important to know because you’ll need to run your script on the site that has BuddyPress installed.
Because of using WP Multisite, you’ll also have to change your hook to ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification‘.
The BuddyPress signup hooks I mention above only take effect on frontend registration (eg. testbp.org/register). Since you’re not using frontend registration, those hooks won’t work for you.
Is there any reason why you need multisite?
That will probably give you enough to go on.
Like Juan mentioned, XProfile already autolinks various profile fields.
eg. http://testbp.org/members/johnjamesjacoby/profile/
Check out the links in the profile page. They will automatically redirect to the members directory with the search term.
It might not fit your spec exactly, but maybe it can give you some pointers.
The BP Profile Search plugin also enhances the xprofile search a bit as well.
I have some screen shots over here –> http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/59649/how-to-hook-into-add-new-member-in-buddypress/59937#59937
They might help trigger something you have done or seen in your BP implementation process…
Thanks !!!
I am building a fresh BuddyPress site and am still at the testing phase. I have the luxury of blowing it out and starting all over. I have tried probably 20+ combinations of BuddyPress 1.5.6, BuddyPress 1.6 RC-1, “BuddyPress Ready” themes, standard themes + template pack, bbPress lite set up via BP install as group forums, bbPress 2.1 set up as sitewide forums during the BuddyPress install, and bbPress 2.1 set up as BP group forums but not through the BP setup.. Whew… This makes my head hurt 
My current, and I hope final combination:
WordPress 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.6 RC-1
Genesis Framework + BuddyPress Theme Pack *
bbPress 2.1 Installed after the BuddyPress Install and set up to support BP group forums
*(I tried their GenesisConnect plugin, but get closer to right by using the BuddyPress Theme Pack
All is well except I need the group forums to go full width (no sidebar). If I could tweak some code and make the sidebar for group forums go away I would be a happy camper.
Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Mainly to help anyone that looks here and tries to take away that `bp_core_signup_user` is the solution…well, it isn’t.
In my plugin I simply replaced:
`add_action(‘user_register’, ‘rebuildAuthUsers’); // rebuild the authorized user list anytime a new user is created through WordPress`
with:
`add_action(‘bp_core_signup_user’, ‘rebuildAuthUsers’); // rebuild the authorized user list anytime a new user is created through BuddyPress`
It did not intercept the registration process and launch my function.
Still digging…
Can’t be done (http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/59656/how-to-make-a-discussion-group-sticky-in-buddypress).
Have posted this as a Trac entrancement request. Hopefully it will get attention there…
Awesome @aces…I think we are getting closer…Do you know where I insert <img src="http://my.BuddyPress_site.com/wp-content/themes/my-theme/images/mystery-man.jpg" /> ?
Do I place it all by itself in my functions.php file? If I do (being a PHP coder) I know a stray html tag will show that image on every page. I need to somehow wrap it around a do_action() or and add-action() or an add-filter() or an add_filters() — I believe, as I learn more about hooking in WordPress/BuddyPress.
Thanks for guiding me on what to most out there is such a simple replacement to the out-of-the-box Mystery Man image graphic.
You’re trying to do this in a file in theme/members… ?
Try this:
`
if ( bp_displayed_user_id() == 28 ) {
?>
Content only to display on member/user ID 28’s profile page.
<?php
}
`
btw
-bp_is_user_profile() does not accept variables, it just checks to see if the viewer is on a profile page and returns a boolean.
– add_action doesn’t work like that – read https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action
What about by changing your WP site to the multisite and activate BuddyPress on a sub site? In order to not appear as a separate site, you can set it as a sub directory rather than a subdomain.
WP Multisite:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
Changing BP Internal Configuration Settings:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/, especially on the “Set the which blog ID BuddyPress will run on:”
@beggers best place to ask is at the WordPress.org forums and to search plugins there. There was a plugin that “bridged” the two (WP/phpBB) way back.
Right now I see the following
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-single-sign-on/
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-recent-topics/
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/phpbb
@12sp This is an issue you should bring to your theme developer’s forums. As far as I know, if you’re using Suffusion theme with BuddyPress, you also need to install a plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/suffusion-buddypress-pack/
I am now going to see if I have any luck with the Email Users plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/email-users/
FYI, the BuddyPress development team has rejected my enhancement request to implement a Community Notification Capability (see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4381).
1. What Woo theme are you using? We have compiled a list of “template-packed” themes near bottom of https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
2. correct naming for the files needed for 2nd option of theme compatibility
buddypress-header.php should be header-buddypress.php
and
buddypress-sidebar.php should be sidebar-buddypress.php
Otherwise your changes will be implemented at all.
Yes, Buddypress can be installed on a subdomain as a single WordPress install. The subdomain will be your siteurl and blogurl;
Thanks for your reply @Paul Gibbs. Yes, I am using bbPress 2.1, BuddyPress 1.6 RC1 and WordPress 3.4.1.
I’ve done what you say above but I still see no changes on my site. The group forums are still working fine the same as before and the bbPress sitewide forum is still working fine the same as before. But I can’t see any signs of integration between the two.
What should I see? For example, should the group forums be listed in the main bbPress forum too, under the “group forums parent” selected in WP-Admin>Settings>Forum that you refer to above?
@sydneydesigner You need bbPress 2.1, BuddyPress 1.6 (any version of, incl. the RC1), and WordPress 3.4.1.
Disable the Groups Forum component inside the BuddyPress components setting page in wp-admin, then go to Settings > Forum. This is the bbPress settings page. Scroll right down to the bottom, and you’ll see some new settings to enable the forums.
Release notes are still being written up, sorry. There’s a high-level overview in https://buddypress.org/2012/07/buddypress-1-6-beta-2/ for now.
I would suggest you start by only trying to get WordPress working (no plugins or custom themes). Once you have custom permalinks working, then move on to BuddyPress and bbPress.
If it doesn’t work in WordPress, I would suggest asking for help / searching for help on the WordPress.org forums as people will have found themselves with this problem before.
