BuddyPress.org

To backup manually, make a backup of your DB:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database

And your entire files inside /wp-content/.

There are also plugins that help do this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/backup

In BP 1.5, you need these pages.

However, you can easily exclude pages from the main nav with a plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/

To customize the BuddyBar, unfortunately you’ll need to get your hands dirty with code:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

The code for widgets can be found in:
/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php

You’ll need to extrapolate some of that code when building your custom entries in the BuddyBar.

Hope this is a good enough starting point!

I may have stumbled upon the problem. It appears only to be happening on the non-root-blog. Follow https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3622#comment:3 for details.

Hi, I had blank pages after upgrading – at the time I had custom community theme. I uninstalled buddypress via ftp and dropped all the database tables. (I also uninstalled and reinstalled wordpress too at one point). I tried all of these as well https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/ , thanks to mercime, but unfortunately still got the same errors.
I tried bp default theme and was then able to see the dashboard but the front end pages were all blank. I have started using Elbee Elgee and was able to see dashboard and set up forums, groups ok on the front end (the only thing which doesn’t work so far – but I haven’t tested everything is create topic in forum).

Good catch. I’ve opened a bug ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3619

Image, title, and link of… what? Posts from your blog(s)? If so, that’s all standard WordPress theming and has nothing to do with BuddyPress making it any harder.

I think the first example at http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/13020/display-thumbnail-only-on-the-very-first-post-in-the-loop will get you started!

@bakelady The issue is with your custom theme (https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns), not BuddyPress itself. @modemlooper, are you still supporintg bp-columns?

Members edit profile fields on their profile. Click the profile tab and then edit. These extra fields do not show in the WordPress user page in the admin

Cool spot. Can you report this as an enhancement on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org please? You can use your username and password from this site to log in with. Thanks!

Hi, If its the problem I had then your website is not loading Global.JS you need to backup your functions.php file, (use your childthemes one if you have one) then edit it and add this code below near the bottom:

if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_scripts’ ) ) :
/**
* Enqueue theme javascript safely
*
* @see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script
* @since 1.5
*/
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_scripts() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ’20110921?;

// Enqueue the global JS – Ajax will not work without it
wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), $version );

// Add words that we need to use in JS to the end of the page so they can be translated and still used.
$params = array(
‘my_favs’ => __( ‘My Favorites’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘accepted’ => __( ‘Accepted’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘rejected’ => __( ‘Rejected’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all_comments’ => __( ‘Show all comments for this thread’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all’ => __( ‘Show all’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘comments’ => __( ‘comments’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘close’ => __( ‘Close’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘view’ => __( ‘View’, ‘buddypress’ )
);

wp_localize_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, ‘BP_DTheme’, $params );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_scripts’ );
endif;

Sure, if i understand correctly you only want logged in users to see certain pages.

Private-buddypress should do the job:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/

Hope that helps.

I want to emphaise that i want to RE-INSTALL WORDPRESS without losing my other plugins… it is possible through the dashboard.

Since i upgraded with buddypress 1.5 i dont have the login screen any more and i can see the wiget boxes underneath. I am wondering if i should reinstall wordpress, but how can i do it through the dashboard.

@Lynn,

I had major issues recently and isolated the offending plugin to ‘bp registration options’. See this for more info: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/any-one-using-buddypress-please-help

We use ‘Block Spam by Math’ which seems to have cut down on robot reg’s quite a bit.
Get it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/block-spam-by-math-reloaded/

Hope that helps?

What version of BuddyPress are you using?

Have you tried changing the timezone settings in WordPress?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen

If you change your timezone settings, try posting a new blog post and see if the time is fixed in the stream.

Are you sure you’re not using any other plugins that rely on javascript?

Hi. I’m not sure. Can you create a bug report on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org/ please? Same username and password as on here.

It’s as simple as adding one exclamation mark. Look at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5187 — red is deleted, green is added or modified.

Hi, We have a related problem:

The widget menu options and general WordPress admin options are not expanding.
This means we are unable to adjust widget settings. In the latter, we have to click the title of an item to open it, but then we cannot close it again.

Any thoughts?

Hey guys

Regarding /activity/post/ being broken. If you are using the default theme, and have javascript disabled, you will get this problem. If you are using a 3rd party theme without BP-Default’s javascript, problem will also occur. I’ve just fixed this bug in core: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3612

It will be in BP 1.5.1
