Hello. My first post here, sorry if this was discussed before, but I wasn’t able to find such topic. If there is one, please, redirect me.
I need to allow friendship requests only among members within the same groups. I think I saw such plugin, but I’m not able to find out if it stille exsists.
Thanks for your time.
(WordPress 5.4.1, BuddyPress 6.0.0)

Change “activity tab” to “Social Wall”

Welcome mail is not going from my site as well as mails which are going have text-only ( no colors at all). I tried re-importing mail templpates and reinstalled the plugin but it’s still not working.
My site
Wordpress Version : 5.4.1

Thanks @vapvarun,
ticket created this morning at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8303
Have a great day !
Hi @mickysoft,
BP Blocks are coming with very generic styles, it’s possible your active theme needs some specific work in this area. I advise you to read the “Using a custom stylesheet for a BP Block” section of this development note.
@tskpbls, yes I am able to replicate the issue now.
When bbPress is active, the hidden group is not visible on my-groups tabs.
bbPress not active: https://prnt.sc/skoogl
bbPress active: https://prnt.sc/skoovq
Group counting still including hidden groups, but not visible in my group’s listing.
You can report it here
buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report
Ok, let’s investigate further then …
I reinstalled default 2020 WP theme, deactivated all plugins (double checked) but bbpress and buddypress, although I’ve kept wpmu admin dashboard plugin… I am on a very fresh install (less than 24 hours)
I am still facing the same issue :
Link to a google drive folder with screenshots (public / private / hidden) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MWlx_eMelveGBSK_9MHEIoLd1NJRHz1D?usp=sharing
buddypress is installed according to this codex guideline : B. Network-wide Activation – BuddyPress root blog in Secondary Site
Buddypress seems to work ok, activity, group and email tabs under admin menu of the admin network page, main site shows forum tabs only and subsite 1 (?id=2) holds buddypress frontend pages.
Soooo, maybe a clue here : Why does the group edit screen say “aucun forum” (no forum) attached to group when in the meantime I can see the forum tab and the input text boxes of the first subject when group is not hidden?
Many infos here, sorry for that, but I guess I can’t be more accurate than that in my perception of the problem.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem better.
Thanks !
@mythicaproductions try to enable the debug mode to find any possible error message.
Debugging in WordPress
there are couple of plugins for custom login page, like https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-custom-login/ you can use anyone.
Thank you so much @vapvarun! This worked. However it still shows the WordPress logo when the sign-in/log-in page pops up; anyway I can avoid this, maybe by changing a theme or something along those lines?
Hi All,
At the moment, I have buddypress linked with a social login plugin with wordpress.
However, if you register on my site using Facebook – BuddyPress automatically takes their full name as their username. How can I change it, so that a user has an option to choose a new user name on registration?
@nicourense98 To disable the login with WordPress.com follow these steps:
1- Go to Jetpack > Settings.
2- Reach the Security tab and Disable login with WordPress.com option.
https://prnt.sc/sk8n9b
I should have probably checked this first, are you actually using wordpress.com to host your site? If so I’m not sure if they support BuddyPress or not but I believe they have their own support which you may need to check in with.
@amnamn180 you can use member type https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-member-type-generator/ and with their pro version, you can also display different x-profile fields for member types.
I personally use ACF to add new profile fields into the main wordpress profile section so that I can easily get and set the meta/field key information. With that information, I can then display the data where necessary whether in an email or on the site.
However, I know you are trying to do it specifically from the Extended Profile. I have been trying to figure that out for quite some time now. It may be more complicated than a simple token call. I would love to know the answer to this myself!
I built a website for a client where we needed to collect some additional information on registration from users that would ultimately be used in their profiles (it’s pretty much a social media platform for local artists).
I have it so that when someone sign ups a notification email goes to my client so he can make sure they are a legit artist to keep them on the site. The notification email just has the default info in it.
Is there any way to include the additional extended profile data in the notification email?
Wordpress 5.4.1

Hello,
Having some issues with activation emails and wondered if anyone could assist. While activation emails are being sent from my site, they are always the default WordPress ones and not the Buddypress ones.
If this is relevant, I’ve noticed any attempt to create new email templates gives me a ‘Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this post’ message even though I’m the site administrator. Editing existing ones seems to work though.
Thanks in advance.
It would be a massive security breach if Facebook decided to transfer their users passwords over to a regular wordpress site.
This isn’t really a Buddypress issue, but more of how Nextgen Social Login isn’t integrating your users properly.
Until you resolve the matter with them or get a new social network plugin properly integrated with buddypress, your users need to continue logging in through facebook or they’ll have to make a new password for the account they’ve made on your site.
Buddypress works with a templating hierarchy, just like wordpress and thousands of other plugins. This means you can override the current Buddypress templates with your own by uploading them to your own theme.
You can find a bit more details on it here https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy
Otherwise there should be plenty of tutorials online on how to do this.
One of your other plugins or settings is redirecting to the login page to wordpress.com
https://wordpress.com/log-in?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.com%2Fwp-login.php%3Faction%3Djetpack-sso%26site_id%3D174597912%26sso_nonce%3Dplltnhijkxdjtkh3ckbz
You’ll need to disable other plugins or check their settings to find which is doing this.
Buddypress overrides the main wordpress account creation page and the user that is created is also a wordpress user.
Do you have a link to your site?
I think the answer to my question is yes, you do need a WordPress account to log in to your BuddyPress account. However, creating the account using the “Register” button coming from the BuddyPress plugin seems to not actually be creating an account, since right after clicking on the confirmation email it redirects you the WordPress login and then when you type in the information you just used to create your account, it says that the user does not exist. Any ideas on how to fix this?
When a user logs in to my BuddyPress site, it redirects them to the WordPress login. Does this mean that you need to create a WordPress account to login to your BuddyPress account? If so, is there a way around this since I would like my users to just login through the BuddyPress portal and have that get them straight to the BuddyPress site.
