BuddyPress.org

WordPress MU sends them an email saying welcome, then gives them their username and a password which is not theirs! Why is it not using the password the user specified at registration?

This bug needs to be confirmed. If no one has a chance to confirm this, I’ll try and duplicate what Steve has experienced later today.

Copy over header.php from bp-default theme to your child theme folder and delete lines 29 thru 39

If you still want to go the CSS route, use `#header #search-form { display: none; }`

Just put it into the 1.5 branch code for the next 1.5.x release; thanks for flagging it

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3751

Fixed for the upcoming 1.6 release. Will see about getting into a 1.5.x release.

If for some reason it’s not showing up inside the WordPress plugins page, go into your web server (FTP or SSH) into the wp-content/plugins/ folder. Rename “buddypress” to “old-BuddyPress”. Then download BP manually from WordPress.org/extend/plugins, unzip, and upload into a new /buddypress directory in the same place.

Take lots of backups first, including database backups.

Another place to check is the ‘network admin’ plugins page if you’re using multisite.

1) Groups in buddypress are like ‘post types’ in wordpress, while you can deactivate it so that it doesnt do anything, it’s hardcoded into the core and the only way to remove it completely is by editing the core plugin.

1) Re: delete not deactivate

You can safely delete each Group you’ve created in each Group’s admin settings.
You can uninstall the Forums for groups in dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > uninstall group forums.
You can uninstall Sitewide Forums in dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > uninstall sitewide forums.
Then, go to BuddyPress > Components > remove checks for User Groups and Discussion Forums

2) Re: if you look at my site http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/ you will notice the menu items are on top of each other

– I don’t see that in your site. So it’s either you’ve changed the theme to bp-default theme or you’ve decided to use bp-default’s custom menus to organize your links.

3) Re: The logos on my site, redirects to http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this

– Right now I see that you have HTML pages at domain root http://www.sweepbook.com/
So where did you install WP/BP, in subdirectory rate-this? and the redirect is to
redirect is to http://www.sweepbook.com/sweepbook/rate-this/ .
WP Settings > General > Site Address URI/WordPress Address URI was changed without proper checks and this is not a BuddyPress issue at all.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL and if that doesn’t help you resolve the problem, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

Go to BuddyPress > Pages in your WordPress Admin menu. You should have a page selected (dropdown menus) for each line. If nothing is selected next to “Activity”, and there’s not a good page to use in the dropdown, use the “New Page” button. All you need to do is name the page and save it; it doesn’t need to have any content. Then, go back to BuddyPress > Pages and select the page you want to use. BP takes care of almost everything, including creating the correct activation link, if you tell it which page to use.

Some times the email gets stuck in spam or junk filters.

To get email working, some web hosts require an extra wordpress plugin, such as:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/

wp-mail-smtp and configure-smtp can send a test email which displays, often useful, debug information!

This is a frequently discussed issue here and people have found all three different plugins useful – there may be others.

Please check your host’s knowledge base or faq for further information….

bbPress (any version) is a forum, right? Just like what we’re using to talk over now.

BuddyPress is a social network layer for your WordPress site. The pictures on the front page list its features https://buddypress.org/

1. BuddyPress and bbPress have the same Lead Developer, https://buddypress.org/community/members/johnjamesjacoby/activity/just-me/

2. Current BuddyPress version uses own version of bbPress plugin for Group Forums and at the same time, can use bbPress plugin for Sitewide Forums. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

3. In upcoming BuddyPress 1.6, Group Forums will be refactored to use bbPress plugin https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598

bbPress *heart* BuddyPress

Maybe this could help: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-progression/

This is a little confusing….

Did you install wordpress and buddypress yourself ‘via ftp’ or did you use a webhost’s automated system and how far did you get with wordpress before these errors occured? It might be easier to re-install wordpress from scratch manually….

Renaming the folder would disable buddypress so that shouldn’t be a factor, suggesting this is not a buddypress problem. Have you installed any ‘buddypress’ plugins and what wordpress plugins have you installed? Are you sure these are all compatible with your versions of bp/wp ( https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/plugin-compatibility/ ) .

To get back into your wordpress installation you could try https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

Did you go through the theme compatibility process for buddypress: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ ?

Copy over activity-loop.php to your bp-default child theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php

change this line
“

to
“

== I want to replace the buddypress search box from top header ==

If you have a bp-default child theme, copy over header.php from bp-default theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php
Then delete lines 25-44 from header.php per link I gave and move those lines over where you want it.

== Is there a buddypress 1.5 compatible plugin that manages banneradds? ==

You could create widget areas then just add the sidebar areas where you want them to show up in theme, see how to http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress

== I’d need to show the login form to all the users that get to the BP site. Only on that one. ==

Copy code from bp-default’s sidebar.php to your bp-default child theme or custom BP theme. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php

It’s a known issue and will be addressed soon. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3908 Thank you for you patience.

Good for you! Marking this as resolved.
