The first issue is fixed by a 1.6.3 update, which we will be releasing very soon.
I am not aware of any bugs with your second issue; if the current user is a member of that private group, they have access to see its activity items on any page on your site.
Third issue is a WordPress setting; see http://www.agentwp.com/enable-or-disable-user-registration-in-wordpress
We have a 1.6.3 out very, very soon to address a few minor issues, but BP is compatible with WP 3.5, yes.
You do not install BuddyPress through the WordPress theme upload. Upload or install the plugin via the plugin upload or add new. Then you choose the BuddyPress theme via Appearance > themes

creating a gallery sounds like a wordpress thing not a buddypress thing per se. also might be helpful to send a link to your site or at least tell us what theme you are using.
Thank you for your reply but I made the changes but still nothing. Also, I disable ALL the plugins and there is only buddypress 1.6.2 installed with it’s default theme and nothing else at all. I CAN upload media files within wordpress normally but I cannot upload photos as avatars in buddypress profiles, groups, etc.
I also tried buddypress 1.6.1 but still the same..
🙁
You should set up a test environment if you plan on running a BuddyPress site. Test versions/plugins. current bp has a few minor issues with 3.5.
Is there a link or somewhere where it is officially stated? On the addon page it shows 3.4 but not 3.5 currently.
@chouf1 Will do, thank you.
However, I’ve put all this into a plugin for wordpress now and activated it – I am still not getting a tab in my profile. The above code you suggested @chouf1 doesn’t display for me at all?
Could you possible paste bin the entire plugin code for me to view to see where I am going wrong?
Thanks
I want to get going on a social site but want to make sure to not install BP till it is ready for 3.5 so any help here would be appreciated.
hi,
to know what is done and not in upcoming BP version, and so on, there is only one address:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report
When you update WP and BP, do you also update your theme if you use a third party theme ? Troubles you describe let me think you have some JS conflict somewhere.
Yes thanks @modemlooper that has been suggested but I asked a question in regards to whether it requires the usual wordpress plugin info (plugin and author uri’s etc) or not?
I’ve just put the file in with my theme – this is how I develop everything to start with on wordpress and never fails. This just means its always hard coded for my testing purposes rather than being a plugin.
So it should just be bp-custom.php on it’s own in the plugin folder? There is no special code like in wordpress to give the name, uri etc?
I had looked at the buddypress info you linked to originally and found it lacking in information, it seemed to assume you knew how to develop a buddypress plugin without actually explaining if its the same as wordpress or different.
If the case is you cannot hardcode any buddypress code outside of a plugin I shall try a custom plugin, if you could possible answer my previous question of the plugin info code for me? Is it the same as wordpress or does it have to define it is buddypress?
delete the content of htaccess and put this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
and create a phpinfo() file at the root of your site and check the exact php version.
Google to see what is phpinfo if you don’t know
Thanks for the info but even cutting and pasting your code into my file doesn’t work, no tab appears in my menu.
I’ve never built a buddypress plugin before so I don’t really know how to set one up – is it the same as making one for wordpress or not? Currently I’m just working with a test file within my local wordpress/buddypress set up, exactly how I test my commercial plugins before actually developing them within the wordpress plugin format.
Since this doesn’t seem to have any effect – IE, the code you gave does nothing, does it have to be within a plugin already, unlike wordpress which simply has to be accessible? If so, could you possibly link to a buddypress plugin guide (If different to wordpress itself) As I could not find a clear one myself?
Thanks kindly,
Versi
The hosting site says 5.2. I don’t know that I can upgrade it as I never actually installed it.
The htaccess file just says “# Do not remove this line, otherwise mod_rewrite rules will stop working
RewriteBase /
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress”
have you php 5.2 or something greater?
WP requires more as 5.2.4 https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
What is in the htaccess file ?
Hi,
who’s your host ? What type of host do you have ? What is your host mysql and php version ?
What is your WP version ? Do you want to install BP on a single or MS wordpress ?
I can’t seem to get Buddypress to install. I’ve tried clicking add new plugin, search and then click install now, I’ve tried clicking details and then install, and I’ve tried uploading the file. It either gets stuck at unpacking the plugin or gives me the message “Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 10 seconds exceeded in /home/a5991106/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 172”. It still installs it when I get the error, but won’t activate it because it states there is a fatal error.
I tried deactivating plugins I had activated and deleted others I’d installed and found I didn’t need but it hasn’t helped. I’ve also tried uploading the files to the host site, but the plugin doesn’t show in WordPress, unless there’s something else I need to do?
How can I stop the error and get plugin to install properly?
Some my user with Samsung galxy s3 can’t user “star topic” in bbpress forum or create gallery in buddypress because on her Samnsung galxy s3 don’t see the button
bbpress version 2.2.3 / buddypress 1.6.2 / WordPress 3.5

Hi i downloaded the trunk version and tried to activate it on my test site and received a error. WordPress is 3.5 version and downloaded the trunk from the above given link…Here is the error i received
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Warning: require(wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in wp-content/plugins/trunk/bp-loader.php on line 401
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in wp-content/plugins/trunk/bp-loader.php on line 401
Wordpress 3.5, bbPress 2.2.3
I have a ning I want to stop paying for so I took your word for it and got a WP site, installed buddypress and bbPress and went through the installation instructions from the codex page and setup a header and added some groups etc.
Right off the bat I’m having big problems that would cause the whole thing to be unusable. I’ve spent hours reading lengthy threads and tracs and everything else that seems to be telling me there are no solutions to the very basic functioning issues I’m having. How can anyone use this software with these problems? I’m not the only one, there are many people I saw posting in this forum with the same unsolved issues. I’m at a loss.
So, this is my last hope – I really want it to work. I love the way it looks, the way it could function if it was working – I can envision it in all its glory – I just. can’t. get. it. to. work! Maybe someone here can help me work these things out. I am not a coding person so I need very clear instructions, thank you.
The site: http://www.livingcm.org
The issues:
1. Posting a comment on anything in the activity feed sends the user to a 404 page not found error.
2. “Private” groups activity shows up in the main site activity feed – OOPS!
3. I can’t find a registration page so new people can’t register.
Any help would be most greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Naomi (who really does not want to pay $25/mo to ning anymore!)
uhm… that’s not the patch I applied. This patch @mercime is suggesting is newer. It’s not always a good idea to use patches from upstream, there might be incompatibilities. Like you say, you don’t have all the files
I used the patch attached to the ticked: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/4510/4510.patch
I suppose for now it’s ok to use the patch I used, in the new version of bp the patch will be included automatically.
