@walid3 – This is a valid concern. Please post a ticket – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket/

BuddyPress currently checks if alphanumeric characters are inputted for the username during registration validation.

Unless there’s a valid reason for the alphanumeric check, it might be wise to just piggyback off of WP’s username validation functions.

Google programmatically adding link to WordPress nav it’s not a BuddyPress issue. However, it’s a needed request and I’ll post a code how to over the weekend

@raquel24or some links to get you started

No, you should not be editing files at plugins/bp-template-pack/. During the BP Compatibility process, 6 folders with BP template files were transferred to your active WP theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, and registration folders.
– Download above-mentioned folders from your WP theme folder in server into your computer.
– Make the revisions in the files specified in Step Three https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
– Upload revised files to server.
– Done.

Open up activity/index.php and replace at the top:
`

`

Note: You would also want to change header tag in activity/index.php from
`

`
with your theme’s header tag for seamless look
`

`

Save activity/index.php and upload to server. Then do this for the remaining 12 files as indicated in Step Three of this codex page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

`<a href="”>Messages`
or
`<a href="”>Inbox`

`<a href="/sentbox”>Sent`

and so on

The blogs loop (best called the “site” loop nowadays) just iterates through your sites. You need to do regular WordPress post loops or functions to get those sites’ data. This is of course going to be awfully slow on page load, so I’d cache it somewhere, too.

Yes there is a better solution to this problem i am code savvy and i have myself invented this solution
Step:1:
The solution is copy the content all content of file wp-load.php which you will find in the root of wordpress installation directory root directory. Then create a new file rahuldev.php paste all the code in wp-load.php to rahuldev.php file plus at the end of that rahuldev.php file add this small code as below
?php
$resultrah = mysql_query(“select user_login, user_nicename from wb_users where user_login like ‘%”.$_POST.”%’ or user_nicename like ‘%”.$_POST.”%'”);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($resultrah))
{
?>
?php echo $row;?>

?php
}
?>
replace ?php with <? php
make sure the name of the table if it is not default set during installation then that should be the name of the table as the name is in your installation
once the above code is added to the bottom of the new file then save the new file to the root of your wordpress application ie where there is wp-load.php there along with it should be our new file rahuldev.php

Step:2:
Open wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-cssjs.php file

replace
var acfb =
jQuery(“ul.first”).autoCompletefb({urlLookup:’root_domain . str_replace( ‘index.php’, ‘/wp-load.php’, $_SERVER ) ?>’});
with
var acfb =
jQuery(“ul.first”).autoCompletefb({urlLookup:’root_domain . ‘/rahuldev.php’ ?>’});

And now enjoy my magic

Thanks
Take care

@Meini, just tried to download your files, link is not working.

Anyone else made progess on this? Seems like such a fundamental idea, can’t believe it doesn’t exist already! Am hoping future version of Buddypress work to add a more seamless interface btwn WordPress and Buddypress.

cheers!

@leethompson does this plugin help? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/

If you have never received an email (and it’s not stuck in a spam or junk folder) then your web host may need an extra plugin to use email with WordPress.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ ( http://www.callum-macdonald.com/code/wp-mail-smtp/ ) adds extra email settings to wordpress and has a tool to debug smtp / php mail. This plugin has previously been discussed: https://buddypress.org/?s=wp-mail-smtp ….

Alternatively the codex has another suggestion.

If you can copy and paste your wordpress themes page.php file here, ill see if I can help.

@Mike84 using latest BP/WP stable versions?

== if BuddyPress can be easily integrated into an existing membership site community of over 100 people ==
Curious since you mentioned Joomla, is your current installation a Joomla site with WordPress integrated for the blogging portion? Or are you referring to a WordPress install with 100 users? If it’s a WP install, then BP addition is not going to be a problem. The WP user would be recognized when he/she next logs in.
