@mercime@mariuse do wait for 24 hours before bumping your post. There are time differences between where you’re at and volunteers who are based all over the world.
Open up your WP theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php in your theme folder. Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following at the very bottom:
`
Open up your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php. Open up sidebar-buddypress.php, delete everything in it and paste the following:
`
`
Save and upload to your theme folder in server.
Make sure that you keep the CSS and javascript enabled i.e. like this https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/2011-09.gif Click on Save Settings button
archonicThe issue has been unravelling here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/cant-request-private-group-membership-you-do-not-have-access-to-this-group/
I started from scratch on the production server here:
http://dhcworks.carleton.ca/version2/
With fresh files and a fresh DB, the issue came up again. Staging is here and hasn’t had any problems:
http://dev.archonic.com/carleton/dhc/
You can login using username and password “tester” on both sites. Note that on production, the buttons to join, leave, and request aren’t showing on the group directory or group home.
UPDATE: just noticed r-a-y’s patch here – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3687. I’ll try it and report back.
dainismicheltried the plugin which lets me change my own display name,
how can i as admin change the member slug (or how can i let users change that slug themselves)?
how can i as admin change other user details?
it’s odd because i don’t know how buddypress is “remembering” these names. also, i use wishlist member, and the names there are different. the wishlist member names are the same as the wordpress names, but buddypress seems to have gotten and be using names gathered somewhere else (maybe upon initial sign up)?
best,
dainis w michel
r-a-yThe only way to import generated profile fields at the moment is to do a straight database export of the xprofile field tables and then import them into your new site. (These database tables are “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” and “wp_bp_xprofile_groups” by default.)
The codex is basically a WordPress blog. I believe everyone who has an account with buddypress.org should be able to login at codex.wordpress.org/wp-admin/ and post something. Though, your post might be held as a draft until someone with higher permissions can look at it.
If you have ideas for codex articles, please feel free to post them. If you encounter problems, let us know.
There isn’t a single document to reference for documentation. I don’t believe WordPress has a document like that available on their codex. (I could be wrong though!)
@mercimeCreate a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Copy over sidebar.php from bp-default theme into your child theme’s folder https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php
Remove lines 29 to 58
James CarrollI, too, am looking for documentation. I found the BuddyPress codex [1]. However, I find it somewhat lacking. Is it a wiki like the WordPress Codex[2]? If so, I may add what I learn to help others.
Ideally, I am looking for a single-document version of the documentation. I would like to print it and have it as a reference as I work. Has that been done before? What would it take to write a script to combine the existing docs at [1] into a single document (HTML, PDF, etc.)?
@mercime, I am specifically looking for information about user profile fields: I’d like to import an existing set of user fields. I haven’t searched the plugins yet; I’m still trying to get oriented to the BuddyPress support system. As for “submitting articles,” where do the articles live? How do I submit one?
Thanks!

rudui would really like to know more about this…….i m very new to wordpress and buddypress…..this is my site http://theainet.net…i have added more fields on registration page but i could nt found it on dashboard.,,,
@mercimePagination on Members Directory is working for me.
The problem that I see is that your left sidebar dropped down to below content and comments div in your BP pages. Make sure you follow the instructions in Step 3 of the BP Template Pack compatibility process.
JackVDI’m using the latest version of wordpress and budypress 1.5.1 and also suffering from request for an activation key. What can I do about this issue. Cheers, Jack
mrjarbenneYou might what to look at something like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bowe-codes/ to help you easily post that information in multiple areas.
manikanta1010HI,
I’m newbie to wp & bp….
I want to facilitate an options for my users to import the contacts from their Emails…
I try Openinviter-for-wordpress for this…
It works fine with GMail but gives error messages with all other networks…
I googled for this issue and didn’t find the workin solution….
Could anyone using this plugin successfully pls let me know…&….help me regarding ths…..
Thanks in advance…..
acesWell I’ve just done it ( https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5227 ) and the issue seems to be fixed!
Unfortunately it means changing the lines in the `/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-catchuri.php` file
This edit will be overwritten when buddypress is upgraded, and buddypress may have further revisions to 1.5* before 1.6 (with the fix) hatches so take notes in case you have to re-do it!
Make sure you back everything up before trying the edit!
djoepOn a similar thread I was told that there was some sort of “retrofit” going on and that I should check the buddyPress demo site.
I checked the buddyPress demo site and there was absolutely no information regarding the buddyPress forum bugs. However, the thread I started got locked so I could not respond.
Might be worthwhile putting your comments over on the wordpress plugin forum for buddyPress so people know what they’re getting.
donnaamosthis is the htaccess.file I have not found the error logs yet. I did go through the wizard after installing.

djoephmmm… I think I might consider a completely separate install under a sub domain or separate path so I could also experiment with a completely different set of plugins, wordpress versions (like 3.3 beta), as well as themes. I am not familiar with MU to know if you can have such independence, for example, having two versions of buddypress installed at the same time.

Paul Wong-GibbsI think we fixed this in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3621
Paul Wong-GibbsIt’s neither the fault of WordPress, BuddyPress or Welcome Pack that your emails are filtered into spam folders. I suggest changing the content of those emails so that email spam services are less likely to flag the email as spam. There may also be server configuration changes you could make to help.
@mercimeDownload BuddyPress https://buddypress.org/download/ and save to hard drive.
Unzip folder and drag buddypress folder to wp-content/plugins/ in XAMP
Lee RicklerResolved –
The problem was that I had added `define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘messages’);` to the wp-config file.
Found to be a bug and added to trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3707
@mercimeDeactivate BuddyPress. You have to resolve pretty permalinks issue before activating BuddyPress.
There’s a good post in WP.org to help resolve permalinks in WAMP at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-permalinks-under-wamp
If that doesn’t do it for you, please post in https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation
mmlnAfter correcting the .htaccess as below it worked

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /abc/index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Paul Wong-GibbsIf you think you’ve found a bug, and ideally can recreate it on a clean test install, please please report it to us on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org if it isn’t already.
@mercime== I have already done step 4 but nothing changed in apperiance of my theme..==
First, do not disable BP Template Pack CSS. Also, the link I posted above in #4 for styles to add to your style.css file was wrong and corrected now to https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
Re: image attached. Some minor tweaks you could add to your style.css
`span.activity, div#message p {
background: #202020 none !important;
}
div.item-list-tabs {
background: #202020 none !important;
}
div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a, div.item-list-tabs ul li.current a {
background-color: #cccccc !important;
}
div#subnav.item-list-tabs {
background: #cccccc none !important;
margin: -22px -19px 15px !important;
}`
Note: there are a lot of !important declarations there to override bp.css enqueued after your stylesheet.
== Btw ajax/js of my buddypress doesnt load anything ==
Make sure you didn’t disable the BP Template Pack JS/Ajax, i.e. no check marks on this page https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/2011-09.gif
modemlooperDeactivate BuddyPress template pack if you are using a child theme and not a WordPress theme you want to add BuddyPress support to.
