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

I recall this problem popping up a lot when having the stand-alone version of bbpress working with WordPress which was always a pain. Maybe this is the same problem?

Always fixed the problem by fixing the permissions between bbpress and wordpress.

I got this problem too. I did a fresh install of WordPress MU today, installed Buddypress and then tried to enable forums. No go. Tried a lot of things, nothing works. Also tried with bbpress, no go.

I really hope this gets fixed really really soon! This is a very serious bug.

WordPress as well as BuddyPress has little hooks that when certain actions are accomplished it will run a function. So BuddyPress as hooked in the the post hook and posts an activity update about that blog post. You probably could do the opposite but the activity update is missing some content a post would require, like the title as the activity update is just content.

Another issue would be to separate out what is considered a blog post and what is not on posting. I personally would not go this route because of user confusion. Look into using a separate post form for front end blog posting. There are many topics here about adding a front end blog posting form.

It’s really difficult to help as I don’t understand arabic and google translate isn’t much use in this situation.

It’s also unhelpful that there doesn’t seem to be an official arabic translation of buddypress ( or here or here )….

Does it work with bp-default theme?

If it’s the premium theme from http://www.theme-junkie.com/themes/freshlife/ then they might provide support for it on their forum: http://www.theme-junkie.com/forum/

== when I copied the header.php file over to my new theme’s folder and attempted to edit it in the appearance editor I received this message- “Sorry, that file cannot be edited.” ==
It’s a known issue – https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744

== I’m wondering if it would just be easier to edit the header.php file from my computer rather than the Buddypress dashboard and reupload every time I make a change? ==
That’s the way to do it.

1) users can edit their own profile link is below the profile tab
2) post this topic in the followers plugin forum
3) when you create a user it bypasses the WordPress activation sequence. You will need to create a custom solution. An easy way is to use the BuddyPress notification system and send a site wide message telling all users to change their password.

Activity items are saved in a separate db table so they are completely disconnected from WordPress posts. The activity streams is meant more for quick short status updates.

Creating a network whether in subdomain or subdirectory structure won’t affect your permalinks per se. As per https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network it’s how your subsites’ URL’s will show up online. Remember, these are virtual subdomains, i.e., even with a network subdomain set up like http://subsite1.mysite.com, it will be set up in server with folder structure wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/year-etc. unlike that of physical subdomains /subsite1.mysite.com/

Network title is the title of Main site. As for subsites in subdomain/subdirectory it will be what you title each one and the default description would be something like “Just another [title of main site] site.”

For more assistance re multisite installations, please post at the WP multisite forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

For regular multisite advice, you’re best to post on the WordPress.org multisite forums for expert advice. As far as BuddyPress goes, I’d worry about getting WordPress sorted first, and then seeing what state BuddyPress is in.
