Hello peeps just wondering if u can help me out. After doing a fresh install off buddy press it seems i can’t sign up new member profiles or any other component working i can enter by admin and set up new users but can’t register new users from the login or register page. I have followed step by step instructions but it seems it might have something to do with my permalinks. Buddypress installs with default url permalinks but when i was setting up buddy press it asked me to set up my permalinks. I chose php my admin but after setting up pages for buddy press which it asks u to assign a page to a catergory it seems the urls are the default permalink urls and not the ones for my site. My url permalink is http://localhost/xampp/wordpress/index.php/activity-streams/ The default set of links are:
Activity: http://localhost/xampp/wordpress/activity/
Members: http://localhost/xampp/wordpress/members/
Groups: http://localhost/xampp/wordpress/groups/
Forums: http://localhost/xampp/wordpress/forums/
Register: http://localhost/xampp/wordpress/register/ (registration must be enabled)
I have read so many turorials but none seem to point me in the right direction. Can someone help me out as i still can’t find an answer and i thought it was a simple plugin that worked out of the box LOL
Not seen anything for this. If you can find a WordPress plugin does this, it will work with BuddyPress.
To get back into your website you could deactivate all plugins?
I want to bump this because I think I’m very close to finally solving this for many of us, but it’s going to need someone who is better at reading PHP or understanding the BP Codex.
My activation links work if I register from BuddyPress, but not if I register from WordPress. Is everyone else doing the same?
Here is a link to the new thread in hopes to solve our problem.

Well it is not clearing. I don’t want to edit core files, how can I force it to clear after a group is created? Should I put a setcookie() that hooks into the bp_after_create_group() ? Please advise.. something is obviously not working correctly here.
It is not clearing even when using the bp-default theme with no other plugins running. I have the latest stable version of WordPress (3.3.1) and BuddyPress (1.5.4).
The relevant pages are now private and password protected so I can’t let you have access to them.
However, I can tell you that there is no misalignment and all the BP content is fine – it’s just the sidebar that will not display.
Also, I tried installing just WordPress and BuddyPress fresh on a subdomain – with nothing else installed – and I still had the same result, i.e. no sidebar on the BuddyPress pages.
There seems to be somthing in WordPress, Thematic or BuddyPress that does not want to play nice.
For the time being I shall have to continue with the work-around I outlined above – not ideal but workable.
Thanks again.
Thank you. That seems very obvious now you say it!
I have been trying to add ids to my divs using a sanitised version of the field name eg First Name becomes `
`.
I have tried using WordPress functions like `sanitize_title(bp_the_profile_field_name())` but this does not work. How should it be done?
== several things missing when I post a blog entry (“What’s new?”) in BP Groups … The posts don’t show up in “All Posts” on the admin page (I thought I could apply categories there). It almost seems as if they’re not “posts” as far as WP is concerned ==
You’re right. Those are not posts but group activity updates. If you want posts by the group, you could try either:
For WP multisite with BP install – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/
For single WP or WP multisite with BP install – http://buddydev.com/buddypress/blog-categories-for-groups-plugin/
@DJPaul, I’m still having this problem described in my previous post. While the Name (Primary) (Required) returned after I re-enabled Extended Profiles, it’s not correctly linked to the actual WordPress naming system.
If a user registers with the username “william” and they put “Bill” as the Name (Primary) (Required) their username and nicename both show as “william.” Then if the user goes into the settings to change their name to, say Toby, they get this on the BuddyPress profile page:
Toby
@william
If I’m not mistaken, the Name and Nicename should automatically be changed to display the same name, just with the @ before the nicename?
Is there any way to re-add the original files without reinstalling BuddyPress so that it correctly links up?
There should be a link in your sites footer to switch back and forth, I don’t think domain mapping will work very well considering the hijacking of theme is how bp mobile currently works. There will be a future version that does away with theming in the WordPress sense and will use an API and then you will be able to put mobile version on another url. You will be able to even create a service that allows users to send content to your site from another domain. Think twitter apps.
== There’s really nobody out there that can assist me with this!? ==
@thesurfinstitute We’re all volunteers here living in different time zones and it just happened that your post got overlooked. A polite bump is acceptable.
You need to fix the alignment of the BP template files with that of your WP theme https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/sliding-door
Let me take a look and I’ll get back to you on solution.
BuddyPress Followers plugin works only with BuddyPress plugin activated.
I recommend that you post at WordPress forums for assistance in seeking for plugin/s that would meet your needs. Before posting there, you might consider searching for such plugins first like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=follow
@roxanne-bland, Buddy press is a “create your own social network” type plugin.
if you are looking for something that will allow people to “follow” your blog you are either looking for something passive, like setting up an obvious RSS link on your blog and encouraging those who use RSS to follow yours
Or if you are looking for something more active, then something that will email your “readers” when you post to your site.
Currently out of the box people can “follow” a wordpress blog if they wish, usually via RSS or bookmarking the site. So i’m not really 100% sure what your are looking for?
Ok, I think I finally figured out how to do the bp-custom.php and get that where it needs to go. It only took me 2 and a half weeks, great huh? 
Now, on to the child theme: The codex says, “The bp-default theme is located in the BuddyPress plugin folder at /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ so it can be updated along with the plugin. WordPress knows where it is, even though your own child theme folder is in /wp-content/themes/.”
I don’t see a themes folder under wp-content, am I supposed to create one and then go on with the rest of the steps?
1. https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
Create bp-custom.php and add
`<?php
define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘guilds’ );
?>`
2. https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
== Is there any chance that in a future update, it might be possible to have an option to rename Groups to whatever you want via BP settings? ==

Try the bp moderation plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-moderation/ its only compatible for WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5 Its not an automatic solution but it does help if a member is posting inappropriate activity, and it allows other members of the community to flag it and you as an admin will receive a notification in the dashboard that will let you decide how to handle the flagged item.
To make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you’ll need to install and activate BP Template Pack plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process

The answear is. Open your buddypress directory in your cpanel and find index.php (this diffrent in editor in wordpress)
You’ll find code “ Replace it with
` <a href="” class=”more-link”>`
You can change words ‘Read the rest of this entry’ with what you want such as ‘Read more’
Hope this helpful

bbpress installed – the same way, and from buddypress (installed main forum)
I twice deleting wordpress and installed. the same result
Retrieving groups based on current user’s role is a nice idea for a future enhancement for BuddyPress. Would you post such a ticket over on https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org please? Use your username and password from this site.
Doesn’t look like there is a nice way of doing this. Checking with those functions after-the-fact will mess up any pagination you may use, or zebra striping, or things like that.
In your bp_has_groups(), be sure to set the ‘user_id’ parameter if you are doing this outside of the profile page area. This will limit the query to only groups that the specified member has joined. Then put something like this in your bp-custom.php file (not tested, but should point you in the right direction): http://pastebin.com/ceJgyWLT
No. It might make a good idea for a future enhancement; please post it on https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org using your username and password from this site.
In Chrome, nothing happens when I click the link.
In IE, if it’s my first try since I started my browsing session I will get a login prompt (browser pop-up). When I enter my buddypress/wordpress info (actually the same in my case), I am taken back to the same page and it still shows me as not logged in. If I try and login again from the same browser window, nothing happens. If I close and re-open the browser window, I get the prompt, but again doesn’t appear to log me in.
Thanks for your help on this.
