Now after moving I am getting 404 errors, but more importantly, my paths are being shown as “weburl.weburl/members/” instead of “weburl/members/”. I simply did the find and replace on all the database before I moved it over to the server.
@steve_macneil something obviously went awry with your migration from dev to production site. Backup your dev database first and try this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/duplicator/ required PHP 5.3 or higher
@henrywright-1 Didn’t know you created a special login page. Since it’s a Page you created specifically for login, you should be able to use the regular WP conditional for a specific Page https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_PAGE_Page or Page Template https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#Is_a_Page_Template
Thanks @mercime although that article talks of wp-login.php (the WordPress login page). This isn’t much use as I am using a custom login page such as example.com/login

Hello. I’ve just done a full, clean install of wordpress and added on BuddyPress immediately after. I want to allow visitors to the website to register/login, so I’ve created a ‘Register’ page and associated it with the register in buddypress’s settings area.
However, while I have a page in existence called ‘Register’, for some reason when I visit my pages section and look at the permalink for the Register page, the link actually says it’s pointing to ‘Register-2’ so that is where buddypress is ‘redirecting’ to whenever the sign up link is clicked.
I suppose this may be because I created a register page a little earlier for testing and deleted it (though, I suppose I didn’t delete everything since something is aware that the original name is/was taken?). Does anyone have any idea how I can get buddypress (or if its wordpress) to stop redirecting to this ‘Register-2’ page? Thanks!
This is the site. 
@chouf1, I use WordPress-Bootstrap by 320press. In the circled tab, i want to display the class of the student. Also depending on the Class menus with different elements will be put in that sidebar.
How do I do this? Even if I could compare the value of the profile field it would do.
For example,
if( bp_profile_field_data(‘field=class’);==X)
<do something here.>
something like this.

Hi All,
I’m having the same problem. I looked at Andy’s site and it looks like it is working now. I wonder how he got it resolved? I am trying to use the default registration page. I allow registration in wordpress’s Settings > General with the Suscriber role. I have the create account button displaying but it redirects to the homepage. I have not set up any redirects.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
Tessie
@hnla
can you please help me with this.
Hi guys,
I just upgraded an alpha version of a site I’m working on to BuddyPress 1.7 and it seems that wp_nav_menu doesn’t work.
I use the WordPress wp_nav_menu Filter plug-in to display the submenus, so I need to use wp_nav_menu to display the menu.
The in-progress site is at http://otevrioci.cz/otevrioci_new/wordpress/komunita/activity, but it’s likely to change and later move.
Thanks Hugo @hnla
I will give this a go, my WordPress skills are quite limited but I am learning!!
I am also emailing the themes developers but response has been very slow!!
Unlike you guys here at BuudyPress.org who always respond very quickly 🙂
Thanks again for the reply
Have a great day
James
Thanks Fee … that worked up to a point. I’m using WP 3.51 immediately after a fresh install and so the default theme Twenty Twelve is being used. So, after your instructions (with a small uncertainly at the end) all I see on the nav bar is Home, Activities, Members, Sample Page. Nothing about groups or forums.
Your instructions mentioned ‘Activate group forums for BuddyPress’ which I couldn’t see on the page. What I got was
BuddyPress Forum settings for BuddyPress
Enable Group Forums Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums
Group Forums Parent is the parent for all group forums
Using the Forum Root is not recommended. Changing this does not move existing forums.
The first box was ticked by default (which I left alone) and as instructed, I set the Group Furums Root to ‘Group Forum’.
So, why are there no Forums on the home page ?
Apologies if I’m being stupid here. I think you BP folks have done a great job .. however, I find the available docs not very user-friendly i.e. if I click on ‘documentation’ from the BP home page, I get a list of extremely esoteric items where I would expect to see a few idiot’s guides on installation, configuration etc etc. I reckon that I’m quite knowledgeable about WordPress having created and supported 3 sites, but I’ve found bbPress and BuddyPress very confusing.
Thanks
Ron
hello, Can anyone throw some light on my problem. Please
Hi Guys,
I am trying to get BuddyPress 1.7 to work with a new theme called “Novelti”
I am getting a bit confused at how to get certain elements to look right ???
The main problem I am having is with the individual member pages
http://fitnessblogger.net/fitnessblogger/
Can anyone help with with getting this looking correct 🙂
BuddyPress 1.7
WordPress Multisite 3.5.1
http://fitnessblogger.net
I thank you in advnace..
With multisite I mean both sites inside of one installation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
There you can activate BP on the main site, then all the community stuff will go there. You can add another site (subdomain) and run your WP stuff there. But that’s not that easy, too. Read throught the linked page if this would be a possibility for you.
Otherwise maybe the easiest would be just to switch completely to the new theme…
Short answer: Yes it is. The question is how comfortable you need the language management (e.g. the connection of content between languages).
The newest version of WPML seems to have the ability to serve domains for different languages. Did’nt try it yet. http://wpml.org/
If not you could do it manually using WPML or qtranslate. Setup a subsite for each language and turn the preferred language for this site on in the site settings.
Your question seems not to be directly related to buddypress. But if you’re looking for that – there is a plugin by WPML for buddypress: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/
hi where to put this in function.php file
–remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’, 3 ); —
thanks
Hello any idea people, i have tried uninstalling other plugins and re-installed the setup, still no luck.
There is this but i have yet to employ it i believe needs updating for 1.7 compatibility:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/
with regards to our site in particular new members can only contribute once they are granted that status currently. I’m working on turning it into a network at which point anyone will be able to create their own site and contribute that way. if you’d like to write an article or something i can certainly give you contributor status @attention just let me know your username.
thanks!
@attention,
check your avatar settings on WP first. By default it should be Mystery Man ( i would recommend to let this setting as is). If you activate Gravatar, your site will bind with Gravatar first. User that have no Gravatar account will then have a Mystery Man avatar instead.
This is pureWP admin stuff.
BP handles avatars on a member basis in a slightly different manner. Each user can change/upload his avatar from within his profile.
You’re using Salutation, a third party theme which is IMO complicated to use with BP, because it is a bit away from the WP theme standards.
You also use an old avatar plugin, which wasn’t updated since sept. 2011. So if you use WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.6.5 or 1.7, i doubt that this plugin will work correctly. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-local-avatars/
Let me suggest you this one: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-avatar-suggestions/
It’s not Mystery Man, it’s not Gravatar, but it handles your own avatar pictures or let your user free to choose there personnal one. And the plugin is working with Salutation and with BP 1.7 too.
Hi,
When user without gravatar registeres, WordPress assigns default image to that profile. That works fine. But, when I go to WP User settings and replace default WP user profile image with a photo, it updates it in WP admin, but BuddyPress still shows old default “gray face” avatar. You can see it here: http://vladimircuk.com/carolalt/ – on the right under user “Carlos Burletwa” – it is still showing old default avatar even though I changed it in WP admin to real photo of that person. I am using plugin called Simple Local Avatars: http://10up.com/plugins/simple-local-avatars-wordpress/
Why is BuddyPress not updating avatar of user after it was changed in the WP Admin User section?
hi i am using buddy press here i have set buddypress for user registration but i want to use wordpress registration, when i remove page from page setting in buddypress it is still directing to the same registration page i want to use wordpress registration because i want to design my registration page
any ideads or help
thank in advances
