hello, I have recently installed buddpress into my site and it appears that every link, meta data etc (entire site map) is appearing at the bottom of my groups pages. I have tried setting live other pages and this data appears in all buddypress pages – but not my wordpress pages or posts.
I have tried looking at the CSS but I can not see that anything is out of the ordinary.
see here below the groups : http://starstylebox.com/groups-2/
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening and how I can fix it.
Thanks for your support.
i think maybe we over thinking this a bit i don’t think @somdefabrica actually mentioned modifying any core files. Generally speaking there is no reason you should be afraid to update wordpress or plugins such as buddypress. It is always a good idea to make a backup (preferably in maintenance mode) prior to any upgrade or adding a new plugin or theme, just in case you have trouble or don’t care for the results.
Is there some reason you are afraid to upgrade specifically or are you just saying that upgrades are scary, generally speaking? If that’s the case i would suggest to you that not upgrading, especially with open source software carries it’s own set of risks. Generally speaking if you don’t want to upgrade something wordpress related you should have a very specific reason.
Hello BP <3 Thanks for all hard work.
I have 1.6.4 and now I see 1.6.5 enable to update.
My BP is http://www.cidadesonho.com/
I'm afraid to upgrade WordPress and BuddyPress.
What do I need to update and keep the edited files?
It's always a puzzle when you click that refresh button….
Thanks from Brazil \o/ <3

Hi…
I’ve created a site that utilizes Gravity Forms User Registration as the single way to register. We are still receiving spam user registrations. The reason I realize they are spam is because they are coming to the previous admin-associated email account, which we have since updated to another address. I just can not figure out where or how these spam bots are registering. I also deactivated all all unused pages. Within Gravity Forms we are using Captcha so no spam is coming in there, just with the WordPress registration. Can anyone help figure out where this could be coming from and how to disable this?
Sorry for people that waiting, passed 7+ days from approved but theme is still waiting for WordPress.Org publish. Its probably my fault that i released some newer versions before it gets published. I cant give a date but at least theme will be in WordPress.Org soon.
Meanwhile you can check my example child-theme: http://theme.firmasite.com/example.zip
This theme;
- adds Flatstrap custom style to theme style list
- selects it automatically
- removing default default bootstrap style from list.
You can edit this child-theme however you want 🙂
Hello there!
I am working really hard on my site and making the little changes to suit my site and looking for a bit of help from the experts here if you may. I am hoping to change the little label on the top of my BP screen tabs to something more personal for my community. How can I do this? I added a picture of my desired change. Please help.

Tried in
yourdomain.com/your wordpress installation directory/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/styles.css – still not showing.
Also tired
yourdomain.com/your wordpress installation directory/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/default.css
line 1658 .standard-form input[type=text] { press enter and add
to new Line 1659 color: #000 important
Still no registration button?
Any help much appreciated
You will find the default.css in the following directory – just use your domain name and wordpress installation directory.
yourdomain.com/your wordpress installation directory/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/default.css
Rename defaul.css to original_default.css hust in case something goes wrong so that you can revert!
I downloaded it to my pc and then with notepad++ and saved it locally as default.css
about 1/3 down line 508 change the colour code to what you want for displayed links and line 512 change the hover colour to what you want.
Save the file and upload it to where you downloaded it from!
I had a real problem seeing the light blue and changed it to dark blue and the hover link to red. Now I can see it fine!!!
@limitx3m
Yup, spamming your own users is not good.
How are you importing to your database ?
It may not be feasible for your situation, but one way to handle this is to import in two passes.
In the first, import everything except email addresses.
Use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-multiple-accounts/
and give everyone the same email addy – an email addy that functions and that you control.
In the second pass, swap that addy with the members real email address.
This is also useful on dev sites, that use real member data, when testing anything that can generates emails.

WordPress 3.5.1.
Buddypress Version 1.6.4
buddy press compatible theme
when I click my username in the activity page I get:
url: http://dota2elite.com/members/Steak/
“Page not found.
We’re sorry, but we can’t find the page that you’re looking for. Perhaps searching will help.”
any other information you need to help me with this problem please let me know.
@mercime, I understand your point, but I was not only referring to my own questions, I also noticed questions not being answered in other people’s posts. And some are valid questions. it is a habit from Perlmonks, I normally do a search before asking a question. But some questions aren’t necessarily asked before or answered properly before. Thank you for your response but you haven’t answered my question, my question was a voting, grading system like Perlmonks would encourage the community to participate more?
Do you think the forum is fine as it is and grading system is not required and it is my fault if I cannot find a solution to my problems? 🙂
@bergblume Please also post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-activity-plus as to why those buttons are not showing up under the status update box
As for getting those to show in the front page, assuming the button visibility issue is resolved, you could try making the Activity page as front page of your site via Settings > Reading
@ozgurpolat Thank you for your feedback. I understand where you’re coming from. But comparing Perlmonks and BuddyPress forums is like comparing Apples and Oranges.
Perlmonks, which supports a Programming Language, has been there for around 20 years while BuddyPress Forums, which supports one WordPress plugin, is going on 4+ years. Not that that’s any excuse, but you can see that the awesome folks at Perlmonks have a 15-year headstart and more people power than BuddyPress forum volunteers 🙂
As for some questions not being answered in our forums, I will use the link posted by Perlmonk’s sages http://perl.plover.com/Questions.html
@brashell61 as posted in WP Forums, You’d have to make the group private. Then you would need a custom plugin created for joining a group via password.
To allow browsers more requests, i created a subdomain, set the root on wp-content/uploads and told wordpress under settings –> media the new full URL path. Now all images are served from the subdomain. Works fine.
Also buddypress user-avatars are now received from the subdomain, but all pages including more then 2-3 avatars, have an server response over 4 up to 20 seconds.
Error-log shows: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use ‘LimitInternalRecursion’ to increase the limit if necessary.
I fixed that endless loop by adding
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
to .htaccess. But the issue is still there.
I also tried to change
$bp->avatar->upload_path = bp_core_avatar_upload_path();
$bp->avatar->url = bp_core_avatar_url();
to
$bp->avatar->upload_path = ‘wp-content/uploads’;
$bp->avatar->url = ‘http://www.domain.de/wp-content/uploads’;
in bp_core_avatars.php so buddypress will not use the subdomain. It works and avatars are served from wp-content/uploads-path but the server response is still the same.
Any ideas why this happens and how it could be fixed?
BP 1.6.1
WP 3.4.2
BP ver 1.7 does away with group forums
Funny that, I’ve just set up group forums on a 1.7 beta test site, think maybe what you meant to say is that BP as of 1.7 does not bundle the older bbpress that was packaged along with BP core. From 1.7 on you need to install the standalone bbPress plugin if you want forums period, but having done so bbPress will allow you to create group forums if you wish and also to import existing group forums if on an older install being upgraded.
WordPress is the #1 CMS in the world because of the low technical point of entry. It’s intuitive, easy to use, easy to install, well documented, and quite easy to hack. It’s usage has eclipsed both Joomla and Drupal because they are not. I think many people think BuddyPress will be as easy to install and use as WordPress itself, and it’s just not (yet).
#1 cms is an opinion and regardless WP is a blogging platform trying to move processes into a more CMS like app but it’s not there yet.
No it’s utterly intuitive (in fact that’s not really a great description) when you get deep into certain aspects, yes it’s quite well documented but is still lacking detail in some areas, and just cos there’s a page on something doesn’t mean it’s all good info. Joomla has never been worth passing comment on, comparisons between Drupal and WP erroneous they are two different platforms, Drupal is a CMS built to be as such and Druapl is not and never was designed for non coders it’s a developers platform.
Despite all that and reservations about various parts of the WP API it’s still essentially a nice platform to develop on and it’s primary feature/role as a blog blows all competition out of the water.
Buddypress will likely be a whole lot easier to use for non coders with 1.7 now but still they will imagine the earth and want to have it but realise it’s not that simple and BP does require coding skills if you want to progress beyond simple out of the box installs into whatever theme you’re running.
As for documentation get in there and help write some please – it’s an aspect few want to get involved with, not enough glory I suppose?
It’s all there for you to study, nothing for us to help with really and not really BP related 🙂
But frankly unless your frontend skills are strong you might struggle to copy the styles used and relationship to backend markup transposed to the markup used for front end WP menus.
You’ll need a tool such as Firebug to let you examine the rulesets related to the dashboard menu items.
@Chouf1 for someone who is upset I’m complaining – all you really did is complain that I was complaining. I didn’t give any details, because mine were the same as the OP’s. In addition, I was talking about a base install – and the groups/forums issue is the same no matter what the theme.
I have since found a few tidbits of information that were helpful.
1. BP ver 1.7 does away with group forums
2. BP ver 1.7 is in beta 2 and almost ready for release
3. moving forward forums should be integrated using bbpress (which you have to install separately)
4. you only get the “create” a group button from the master root /user-groups BP URL
5. profile BP links like /members/username/groups are different than the master root pages
6. to manage a group after creation before BP 1.7 you have to actually visit the groups page in question (/user-groups/groupname) and the click “admin” to make changes – there is no master groups editing page
7. in BP 1.7 there is actually a new “groups” section in the wp-admin sidebar where you can (for the first time) have group management capabilities on the backend (edit / delete)
I stick by the fact that there is very little documentation on how to use BuddyPress after first install. I have been using WordPress since 2004 and have created and hacked hundreds of plugins and themes. I have written thousands of blog posts and articles / tutorials on WordPress. From that background, having installed BuddyPress I can quite easily say that it’s not intuitive to use, it’s difficult to figure out the integration points, and many things that should be easy are just plain hard.

I’m definitely figuring out where everything is, and how to get going after first install. I didn’t find much here in these forums or the Codex in that overall regard. Even external blog tutorials are a little sparse on the subject – most information you find is just severely dated.
Am I willing to contribute to the documentation? Certainly. I’m in the process of writing up my findings now – but I was looking for answers first…and all I was finding were others with similar unanswered questions.
