BP Group Management works well and adds people to groups without sending friend requests: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/

Invite Anyone is supposed to invite people via email and automatically place them in designated groups: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/

Yes, this is an issue, see patch here https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19539

Welcome to open source, you’re going to love it as there are many pieces of the code puzzle already created for you,especially with WordPress and BuddyPress. If you do get involved in open source projects please give back by releasing your custom code to be used freely by others. Any plugin/theme you get from wordpress.org is under a GPL license and you can take that code and do whatever you wish with it.

You can use the s2 membership plugin with BuddyPress to create a membership site.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member

If you’ve been hacking your theme, you might want to install Theme Check plugin just to make sure that everything’s kosher. Then to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you will need to install/activate BP Template Pack plugin which will transfer 6 folders with BP template files to your active WP theme. Go through the BP compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

@sameeraperera You’re correct that this is an xprofile-only problem.

In bp-default, we don’t show the options_nav at all (where subnav items appear) on others’ profiles. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile.php#L12

This does not seem like the optimal design to me. I’ve opened a ticket to fix it in a future release: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3877 In the meantime, you can override members/single/profile.php in your theme, and remove the bp_is_my_profile() check.

I get what you mean. Integration of WP adminbar with BP buddybar into new WP Toolbar is already in BP trunk https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk – might come out in BP 1.6 if not earlier.

Have not heard of an alternative to using the wildcard for subdomain multisite. The best place to find out is at the multisite forums – https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

There’s also a great plugin for profile widgets:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-music-widget/

Notice that when you get to the “widget logic” part in the FAQ, the only code you’ll need to use is `bp_is_user_profile()`
No need for the other part of the code written there.

http://hanginout.info/activity is the page where activity/index.php is rendered – and it looks GOOD, success! – just needs some styling improvements. We need to remove the extra `>` in line above `

>` which should only be `

` my bad

15 more files to go https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

Btw, the link you posted is handled in the /groups/ folder so that hasn’t been “fixed” yet.

If they were not picked up by your spam or junk mail filter then your webhosting may need an extra plugin.

See: BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications) in https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/#register

and / or: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ (which has a useful debug feature)

Open up the header.php of your wp-church theme file and copy all. Go to pastebin.com and paste what you copied, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

It’s a bug. reported it: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3868

To make your WP theme, Delicate, compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin then go through the BP compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

There’s a plugin called “dashboard tweaks” that’s get rid of that menu, and the WP logo.

HELLO!

I need help regarding my New BuddyPress Installation. I’ve been trying to post a topic to address the same at BuddyPress.org Support forum.

Clicking to “post new topic” on support tab redirects me to community tab where all I can do is reading others’ posts.

Kindly help me know how can I request help regarding my BuddyPress site.

Thank you.

If you’re looking for an integrated solution with WordPress/BuddyPress, this sounds promising: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-ads-manager/

The BP Template Pack plugin makes your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. Looks like you still need to go through Step 3 of the BP compatibility process. Check out links to walkthroughs at the bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

== I’m not able to remove the old BP template pack files through FTP or on the server side ==
This is a strange and serious issue which you need to take care of. First time I’ve heard it happen on dedicated server.

Yes. We’re moving to full integration with WP Toolbar nee adminbar in BP 1.6 if not earlier.

In fact, BP buddybar and WP adminbar are fully integrated in BP Trunk already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

== it gets stuck at the step where it says that I have to manually upload to …/bp-themes. ==
This means that for some reason, you server prevented the automatic transfer of the required BP folders into the folder of your activated WP theme.

1. Download a copy of BuddyPress to your computer hard drive – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/

2. Unzip, and upload the following folders from the BuddyPress folder to your server’s wp-content/themes/name-of-your-WP-theme via FTP/cpanel/FileManager:
– activity
– blogs (if you’re on multisite)
– forums
– groups
– members
– registration

3. Proceed with Step 3 of the BP Compatibility Process
