Sounds like you’re using an older version of WordPress.

BP 1.2.7 requires at least WP 3.0.

@coaster101

In your WordPress backend, go to “Settings” > “General” and modify the “Site Title”. Whatever you enter there will be displayed in the adminbar.

Ah, 8 months and no reply. I figured, it’d be a long time before anyone answered to this thread, so I got down to get my hands dirty.

Now, I’m not a developer at all, so most of my hacks are just that – hacks. Well, anything will do as long as it gets the code working, I figured. If anyone wants to modify the hack into something more elegant, be my guest!!

Two changes:

1. Change line 45 in `wp-content/plugins/bp-posts-on-profile/includes/bp-postsonprofile-core.php` from:
`$where = $wpdb->prepare(‘WHERE post_author = %d AND post_type=%s AND post_status=%s’, $user_id, ‘post’, ‘publish’);`
to:
`$where = $wpdb->prepare(‘WHERE post_author = %d AND (post_type = %s OR post_type=%s) AND post_status=%s’, $user_id, ‘post’, ‘your-custom-post’, ‘publish’);`

where `your-custom-post` is the name of your custom post type. If you have more than one custom post, you’ll have to make changes to the part where it says: ‘(post_type = %s OR post_type=%s)’ to include all of them. (Like I said, inelegant, but mostly effective)

2. Change line no.25 in `/wp-content/plugins/bp-posts-on-profile/includes/templates/postsonprofile/screen-one.php` from:
`query_posts(‘&author=’. bp_displayed_user_id() .’&paged=’. bp_pop_cur_page());`
to:
`query_posts(‘post_type=any’ .’&author=’. bp_displayed_user_id() .’&paged=’. bp_pop_cur_page()); `

If you’re wondering, “Can it really be so simple?” The answer is, NO. There’s a tiny little problem – for some reason, it breaks the sidebar and pushes it below the content. I’m still racking my brains to figure out which part of the code is responsible.

As I’ve mentioned I’m NOT a developer – I’ve taken to learning PHP & WordPress from the ground up. If anyone else can chip in it’d be a great help! Thanks & hope it helps you as well.

hi @henry0,
i am also new to buddypress and trying to do some reading. have you tried using author page template (author.php)? like the one mentioned here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates

i was not able to test it right now due to some access restrictions. but if anyone could confirm this it will greatly appreacited (i need it also)

The BP Bad Word Filter plugin is available here: http://wordpress.matemedia.com/buddypress-plugins/

Hi, everyone,
I have similar problems with registration
1. .I can’t see my registration page anywhere.
2. When I use the http://mariamar.com/register URL, it just sends me back to the homepage.
3. I also don’t know how to place a registration link or box so visitors can register.

I see that the consistent answer here is Settings/ General.
I’ve done that. Still the problem is not solved.
INFO
I’m using WordPress 3.03 (or 4? Anyways, the one previous to 3.05) I installed BP and then used the available links to make it work with my theme, suffusion, which is the theme I use in all our blogs, as is the best one around for creating flexible widgets and highly customized design, so I don’t want to change it. I don’t know if this affects the situation. Just thought to mention this.
PLEASE HELP!
Well, I’m stuck. Have looked everywhere for a solution. I would appreciate some quick response from the very nice fellows in this forum.

Thanks,
MM

Drop downs are coming to BP 1.3. If you can’t wait search codex.WordPress.org for menus to learn hot to use WP menus. You will have to add the code and CSS yourself.

If you can pull up the Apache default page then the machines network config must be correct so the issue can’t lie there can it.

This sounds more as though you haven’t configured vhost containers correctly or simply set the httpd.conf directory to that of your blog home instead of /var/www/html or /home/user/ or however Ubuntu configures things.

If you have written redirects or custom re-write rules then comment them out until you have things working ok. WordPress handles all the rewriting necessary and as long as owner/group perms are set correctly then WP will create the .htaccess and write the rules necessary to it, if not simply copy the provided example ones when you try and set permalinks.

If you want to use a WordPress theme, you have to also install the BP Template Pack plugin.
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

Something like this https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns

Saw something like this in WP.org forums. Bug/s in WP 3.0.5 https://wordpress.org/tags/305

Some solutions
1. If you did the auto upgrade from admin dashboard, do a manual update. https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update
2. Install https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hotfix/
3. Upgrade Akismet plugin to latest version

If you mean the files added by BP Template Pack plugin in your active theme, feel free to delete the following:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates

As far as I can see, MU is not a seperate project any more.. It’s integrated in the regular installation.. https://mu.wordpress.org/

Instances of do_action() don’t, in themselves, do anything. They are signposts (‘hooks’, in WordPress terminology) that allow other plugins to add functionality. It is thanks to such idle hooks in WordPress that BuddyPress is able to function. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API for more info about how the system works.

Grep will tell you the locations of all references to the text you provide. Generally, that will give you enough information to open up the file(s) given in the grep results and look at the specified line. I just ran the command I gave you above, and I got the following result:
`./bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php:162: `
In other words, as I suggested, this particular text is only mentioned in one place in BP – the moment where it is defined. The hook is not called by any function in BuddyPress.

Of course you’re free to look elsewhere, like Elgg ( plugins in basic install) and Drupal Commons (featured on wpmu.org)

Well, I must agree with some guys here, that it really should register users out of the box.

Solution confirmed:
Mail From plugin allows to send the email to the user.

The next small issue is that gmail catches that email as spam…

There are 13 files https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates – blogs/create.php and registration/activate.php missing in your list
