Under wordpress MU?
From my understanding your users shouldn’t need to go into the backend to set theme. They should have preset themes.
Thats just default settings in wordpress.
What versions of WordPress, BuddyPress are you using? What theme and plugins are you using?
Which plugin exactly? Unless it’s a BuddyPress-specific plugin, you’re best to contact the author via the wordpress.org forums for any support.
@paulhastings0 Try this filter, it will sync user name on the fly
just paste this block of code in your template functions.php
`
/////////////////////////
///// To sync user names on the fly, it will show xprofile fullname of user
/////////////////////////
function wpi_sync_member_name($data) {
global $members_template, $bp;
#$firstname = xprofile_get_field_data( 1, $members_template->member->id ); // 1 = firstname > wp_bp_xprofile_fields.id
#$lastname = xprofile_get_field_data( 51, $members_template->member->id ); // 51 = lastname > wp_bp_xprofile_fields.id
#$fullname = $firstname .’ ‘.$lastname;
#return $fullname;
return bp_core_get_user_displayname( $members_template->member->id );
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_member_name’, ‘wpi_sync_member_name’ );
`
This is the template which handles the page. Copy over bp-default’s permalink.php to your child theme’s folder, and paste inside folders /members/single/activity/ following directory structure of bp-default
I don’t think this is the solution I am looking for? All I am looking to do is change the
`
`
I want to find the file within buddypress or wordpress that defines the default alt value and change it.
Unless your method does this and I have overlooked it?
Hi, I run RiotCart 
Just wanted to pop in and say that I’m no longer using the BP groups component for anything but a private group/forum for my vendors. If you’d like to see the working parts of the site (which is in the midst of an overhaul, so be kind), you can do so here: http://www.riotcart.com
I personally think that WordPress is a great platform for running an online shop, and have set up many standalone ecommerce sites for individual crafters using it in conjunction with my personal favorite shopping cart plugin, eShop. This is actually what led to the idea for RiotCart, which is more of a venue for crafters to set up a shop/site in the RC network, rather than a shop in itself. The only thing that RC sells is the monthly shop hosting terms. We use Buddypress more for the shoppers themselves, as it gave me a starting point from which I’ve implimented a p2p feedback system, a “wishlist” feature, and more. I’ve tried offering members the BP groups several different times, and the concept never seems to take off.

“Is that a general recommendation? 
”
– No! However I have only been using your two codes that works but after awhile when I found the bugs it’s causing of your codes.
1. Duplicate Content: Slash and No Slash at the End of URL
2. The page isn’t redirecting properly
“I did say it was test code. Looks like you have whitespace issues in your /registration/activate.php. Delete any trailing whitespace from the beginning of that file.”
I did put back the function bp_core_redirect_canonical in functions.php and deleted redirect trailing slash in .htaccess before process your above posted. It is the same problem I had it before except no warning error show up, only missed a key link in the domain link.
I haven’t touch activate.php in bp-default therefore when I looked for trailing space, it looks like this:
`
`
If that is what you were talking about I deleted the whole line 1 and I tested it again and result I get when click the activation link in email:
http://www.domain.com/blog/activate/
`Activate your Account
Please provide a valid activation key.
Activation Key:`
There is no key link in the domain. e.g.
http://www.domain.com/blog/activate?key=afd7528c3b5664d429f94a2ed59a4c32
The line 1 in activate.php said “This template is only used on multisite installations.” I have single WordPress. Does it matter? All those error the user still able get in after clicked the activation link in the email. Huh?
Is there a fix? What is the solution for Single WP after user completed sign-up?
“Your htaccess rewrite rules look like it will interfere with querystring variables.
eg. example.com/my-page/?variable=my-test”
Ha, thanks for noticed.
all i want is if my user entered a wrong password they should not redirected to wordpress log-in page @mercime
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ is the place for bug reports; we might miss them here.
I went over user name issues like this, and I believe it should be fixed in our upcoming 1.3 release. Would you report this as a bug please and then we can test it in the dev version, to confirm if it’s still an issue or if it’s fixed? Thanks.
Thanks a lot for all of you for taking your precious time here! I sincerely appreciate your suggestions.
@Andrea_r could you please help me on your point? How to put a noindex on my buddypress registration link? By doing so, will it affect SEO of my website?
@Pisanojm I’m also looking for an access-role other Administrators who can moderate the website by marking as spam, deleting irrelevant users etc. If any wordpress consultant guides us, would be grateful..!!
Ok – I think I got it. I had to change the permissions in both htaccess from the root directory and in the wordpress directory. Seems to be good now.
I’d love someone to help with a quick review and fixes for accessibility issues for BP-Default 1.3. There is unlikely to be time to do a 100% full sweep, but every little improvement helps. I’ve made some initial tickets:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3263
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3264
If anyone uses an assistive device for interacting with websites, or has specific knowledge testing in these areas, any general feedback would be appreciated; you can check out http://testbp.org/
Primarily because it makes the URL match that of the component that generated the activity. If you think search engines have issues with 302 redirects, I would be very surprised, but if you can provide some evidence and make a ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/, we can see if there’s anything that we can do.
`Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /path/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/activate.php:3) in /path/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 897`
As @r-a-y suggests, in my experience at least, that kind of error is almost always malformed PHP files — trailing spaces, unclosed brackets, stuff like that. If you’ve pasted functions into your functions.php or bp-custom.php, look there first, then any other template files you’ve edited.
I use bp-moderation for that, Pisanojm. It’s abandoned, I think, and has UI problems in the backend, but users can flag content and it shows up in the backend for me. It’s clunky and I wish it was still being actively developed, but it works fine once you’ve edited the admin screen hooks per this to make sure the UI shows up in the dashboard.
“Update: Enabling the ‘Mail From’ plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ solves the problem.
I’m not thoroughly satisfied with this solution because it is too mysterious , but at least it is a solution.”
It’s not mysterious – it;s a symptom of exactly what I described. The hosts on the receiving end are killing the emails that are sent because they were *automated*. Changing the from address so it come from a “legit” email, instead of wordpress@yourdomain, made it so it got delivered.
stevieg – It’s probably because the following theme hooks are missing in Template Pack:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L339
stwc – If you’ve customized your BP theme files to oblivion in your WP theme, then don’t upgrade / reset the template files!
I doubt it. A-lot of components are not there that look like buddypress.
If you look here: https://wordpress.org/showcase/mashable/ They didn’t set the “flavor” to buddypress.
I do not know if fishhook theme is a child theme or not, but try looking in
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members
This is where buddypress default theme should be located relative to your wordpress installation if you are using wordpress 3.X (maybe 2.9) or greater.
