If you’re not already using one, set up an object cache. It’s relatively simple and will be a big improvement for all WordPress things, not just BuddyPress.
I’m having a problem that I’m hoping the above situation will fix, but I need more information on how to utilize what’s above.
Problem: WordPress toolbar is NOT showing up in MSIE, Firefox or Safari browsers. It IS showing in the Google Chrome browser. I’ve tried logging in with different accounts to see if it’s related to the login, but it’s the same – admin or member account – no toolbar. ALSO it’s the same with my other WordPress site – both are on two different servers. However, if I go to a WordPress.com site (versus a WordPress installation on a server/private site), the WordPress toolbar IS available.
Since the WordPress toolbar is not available, I was hoping I could create menu tabs/options to get members easily to their BuddyPress inbox. The above information about building links from the sample structure is Greek to me. Where do I put that code? I’m using the Mantra Theme, so would I put it in the Custom CSS area? In the Appearance > Menu > Enter URL option? I’m thoroughly confused and I’m such a newb. Sorry!
Here’s the website I’m building: http://ilovevampirenovels.com/ravenousbooktours

Please do some self help and refer to the codex. That is what it is there for!
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/
It makes no sense do I have to create this file and then paste the code. Because there is no such file. Below is what it says on the link
Disable BuddyPress’ registration and use WP’s instead. Paste this in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php
This does it. I have it running on my site, but I modified the code to use a select box instead of check boxes. But this is what you’re looking for, I think.

Or this one if you don’t want them to have a choice.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-auto-group-join/
No they don’t have to create 2 accounts. What I want is for the god awful registration page to go away and get bacl my normal wordpress login and registration page back. I have social sign ins and want to be able to use those and also a captcha for spam.
Maybe a dumb question, I’m on both sites right now but… confused. Feel like I’m missing the obvious, but both are forum plugins for WordPress, I’m not sure how or why I’d choose one or the other, or if I can use both and why I would…. I think you get the gist, even if I don’t. TY 🙂
I have the same question, about to install wordpress and buddypress, but saw this and also only want one login and user account for people to sign up with. I’m right in that it sounds like new users would have to create one account for each right now or not? TY 🙂
How can I use the default login and registration pages instead of the buddypress ones.
I want to use the wp-login.php login and registration page instead of buddypress. How can I do that
Hello guys, how are you?
I found a really strange issue when creating a website using OneCommunity WordPress and Buddypress theme.
First of all, the “Change Avatar” link on the Profile menu at the Profile page had a “display:none”, which I changed as I want people to use different avatars than Gravatar.
Now, I’m able to upload images on the website but the crop image is crazy: it’s not a square but a rectangle, which is terrible. After the image is cropped, as I use square images on the whole website, there’s a huge distortion on the image.
I already checked /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php and everything is okay on there. I can’t find anyone with this same problem and didn’t find any other file that should be transforming these crop size and proportion.
Does anyone here had any trouble with this and can manage to help me?
Thanks a lot,
Alan
Hi guys,
I am in the process of creating a wp social media website. I am using buddypress 1.8.1 for the core features of a social community.
I have been looking for a plugin, or way to allow users to upload images that visitors/users can look through. Ideally users would be able to tag their images, and would show up if another user searched for that tag/s. A tumblr/instagram type feature is what I am aiming for.
I looked at several plugins like nextGen gallery and its extension nextGen gallery public uploader, but this doesnt do what I need.
If there does not exist such a plugin/script, would it be possible to achieve this in a wordpress-buddypress site some other way?
Thanks

The only thing I see that does some of those things is:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddymenu-buddylinks/
However I have never tried it myself, and it has not been updated in a while so its hard to say whether it will work with the most current versions of WP & BP. The only other alternative is to code it yourself or hire a developer to do it for you.
The reason I ask is the install instructions are very specific that I need to “manually” install WordPress. When I originally set the site up I did so via a “1 click install” app via the hosting company. They indicated Buddypress will not work properly unless you manually install. Am I ok to just install the plugin or am I setting myself up for problems.
I have a website up and running that we’d like to load with Buddypress. As the site already exists, I do not have the ability to “manually” load WordPress as it is already loaded. Can I upload Buddypress or am I not able to do so as the site already exists?
What if we have an existing website we are looking to incorporate Buddypress? Hence, WordPress was already loaded via the 1 Click App when we initially set the site up. The url we are referencing is http://findthecapital.com.
Guys, we are proud to announce that the new Rating-Widget plugin release supports BuddyPress & bbPress ratings. And the Premium version even support aggregated user ratings which is calculated based on all user’s activities.
