BuddyPress.org

BP uses either the user_nicename or user_login fields from the wp_user table to build those member URLs. Your best bet is to figure out/find a WordPress plugin that does what you want, and then test it against BuddyPress.

Maybe this helps ? http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-a-buddypress-wordpress-username-availability-checker-for-your-site/

#1 – build a child theme of bp-default,
– copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/entry.php following the directory structure i.e. childthemefolder/activity/entry.php
– open up entry.php and delete lines 64 – 78 and Save file.

#2 – renaming labels – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

BP supports whatever WP does to embed videos from Youtube, Vimeo, Hulu, etc. in regular blog posts – http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-easily-embed-videos-in-wordpress-blog-posts/

I think they should work fine in WordPress comments. If you can figure out how to make it stop working reliably, let us know on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org

Members created in the WP back-end don’t appear in the members list until the first time they login to the site. This is “by design”, and is due to the way user accounts work in WordPress. Its also an optimization to prevent (potentially) huge numbers of users that have never used the site from slowing it down.

Hi Isbul!

with the plugin BuddyPress Private Community you can choose what will be private and what will be public:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-community/

Hope it helps to you

You might need to install a wordpress plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ and/or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

wp-mail-smtp also has a useful debug feature and more settings…

Search on buddypress.org has never worked properly and probably never will work properly. This is because proper, natural-language search is a hard problem that the developers behind WordPress and Buddypress don’t have any experience with.

The most efficient way to search buddypress.org is to go to Google and type in

“site:buddypress.org whatever you’re searching for”

Same way you would do with a WordPress static home page https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

Glad your hosting plan resolved this for you. Curious how many members, groups, posts etc you already have because that’s a lot of memory for a new installation.

Did you install any other plugin after you resolved the issues with genesis ? Just to be sure, try to deactivate your plugins folder via FTP/cpanel by renaming the folder to e.g. wp-content/plugins-xxx

Rename the folder back to wp-content/plugins after you access wp-admin.

The latest buddypress ( with bp-default theme ) can use the default wordpress menu, which is under appearance section of admin.

Some web hosting requires an extra plugin for email. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ has a useful feature that displays debugging information when sending a test email. Another plugin is suggested in https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/

If you installed WP/BP in directory http://yoursite.com/wordpress/ and if you have enabled registration and BuddyPress is activated, the link to create an account goes to http://yoursite.com/wordpress/register by default. The only way to have http://yoursite.com/register is if you installed WP/BP at domain root.

The part about the Installation Wizard is in the plugin’s readme.txt as seen in https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/installation/ as well in BP Codex https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/

1 I disabled all WordPress plugins (not very graceful) by renaming the “plugins” folder in wp-content to “~plugins”
2 going back to the plugin area in the wp-admin give the message that all your plugins are gone, and therfore deactivated
3 I renamed my plugin folder ‘~plugins’ back to ‘plugins’ and all my plugins showed up in my admin again, deactivated.
4 Activating them one by one gave me a 500 error again by activating “Group E-mail Subscription” https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/
5 repating the proces, but skipping the “Group E-mail Subscription” gave me a up-to-date BP, I have to find a other solution to email my groups… (any ideas?)

In your situation where you mentioned you didn’t change the BP template files at all, you can’t hook into div#content as your theme already has it – the one which renders grey background between your content and sidebar. You could hook into `div.padder` and add this to your stylsheet:
`div.padder {
background-color: #fff;
padding: 20px;
}`

BuddyPress generates body classes for each component/specific BP pages. Check out body classes generated https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-core/bp-core-template.php#L1482
