BuddyPress.org

This is what I see when I am logged out of trac, which is what I suspect you’re seeing.

What do you see after clicking the “Login” link in the upper right corner? You should get an alert that pops up and prompts you to login. If so, use your WordPress.org/BuddyPress.org/bbPress.org username and password. You should be good to go from there.

@mosaicrob You will change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your insignio 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.

Do you mean something like this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/screenshots/

BP Album, free, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/ has photos and the BP Media beta version will also support audio files, embedded videos, embedded images, and much, much more.

BP Gallery, premium, http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/ audio, video, images for individual users and/or groups

I am not saying to jump the gun and make every single Profile field either view-able or not depending on friendship. Just a simple choice to display or not to display your profile to people you are not friends with.

Have you checked out the trunk for BP 1.6 lately? https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

You’ll be pleasantly surprised. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5789 for example.

all members should have to be logged first before even given the option to view another members profile, maybe a landing page integration built into BuddyPress core that redirects any visitor the the landing page when attempting to view any post or page on the site.

That’s different and already possible with a couple lines of code.

See https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/tasty-kitchen-member-privacy/

Are you talking about a landing page? Check out my social network http://www.snaplist.net23.net if what I have done with my site is what your trying to achieve let me know and I will assist you.

@cwhittl, not sure if this is what you looking for , but have a look at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-automatic-friends/

So are you guys going to address this issue? I have the same problem on a clean install of wordpress and buddypress with no additional plugins active and have tried several themes. My site is http://www.websitesthatkickass,com/patrick/

More than likely it is a plugin. Try disabling each plugin one by one and keep registering and trying the activation until you narrow it down to the culprit. I had the same issue once and the culprit was the “Disable WordPress Updates 1.2 plugin.”

If the pages loose their mapping, something’s been deleted or corrupted in the database. It could be a bug in BP (unlikely as I’ve not heard of anything similar), but I would guess more likely to been corrupted in the database or removed (accidentally or otherwise).

If your “backup” is still the hacked version, I hope you found how they got in. If you haven’t, you’re basically still hacked.

If your host thinks they have found a vulnerability in BP, please don’t discuss that aspect here, and send details to security@WordPress.org asap.

@heyshamsw we can only try our best to resolve such issues.

So what method did you try to use to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, the first method which changes 16 template files or the second method with the xxx-buddypress.php files? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

To help you evaluate which method is good for your WP theme, open up your theme’s header.php, copy code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated pastebin.com uri here. Do the same thing for index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php.

Site URI with said thematic child theme would be helpful as well.

Ok, I didn’t see that sidebar with the analog clock earlier on the registration page.

By default, BP has only that ‘name’ profile field. All BuddyPress profile fields are separate and distinct from any field in the WP user profile. For example, creating a field in BP called ‘biography’ won’t have any link or relation to the WP profile field of the same name.

The “profile syncing” option in BP, I believe, only tries to take your BP profile field ‘Name’, and separating on a space, populate WP profile’s First name, Last name, and Display Name fields.

I am having the same issue. WordPress 3.3.1 and BuddyPress 1.5.4

Added the custom code from above to the functions.php – did not help. Cannot get the activation email to get sent and I have tried 15 different REAL email accounts including comcast.net, verizon.net and yahoo.net.

After Registration… it lands me on the Registration Complete message… tells me an activation email is waiting for me. But also have the Gravatar Upload available. If I try to upload anything, it just bumps me out, because I have NOT activated yet.

I am STUMPED! I will try deactivating ALL plugins but I am down to the bare bones now.

Someone please help… I am weeks over due and I thought I was just about ready to launch… now this!

Thanks!

Use a cache plugin

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/

If you don’t want to use multisite, the only other way is to use a single blog, and set each user up as Author role (so they can only edit and publish their own posters). Look at how something like Automattic’s P2 theme works (bpdevel.wordpress.com for an example).

@BlinkyBill01 – You can see the changes that will be in 1.6 here, https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5443

the red markings is what was removed and the green is what was added,

to find it in the future, it’s usually linked to by a core dev before the ticket becomes closed,
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2207#comment:22

…and for anyone thinking of using it on their site for a quick-fix, please note that it’s still in beta and being tested and not guaranteed to work… (theirs a reason it doesn’t get pushed out to live sites automatically)

Since it isn’t a critical bug but an enhancement i’d recommend waiting afew weeks until it’s out officially.

edit: ohhh, right. We are at version 1.5.4 you can see them here – https://buddypress.org/blog/

If the URL shows correctly on the sites/create page, but not on the /reigster page, that could be a bug in BuddyPress. Please would you report it to https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org; you can use your username and password from this site. Thanks

BP 1.5.4 is compatible with WP 3.3.1
