Interestingly, buddypress default theme does not accept avatar from social networks when used with WordPress Social Login plugin. I wish I could provide a random avatar for such cases where buddypress does not accept the avatar provided by social networks.
There ain’t any active plugins that can produce random avatars. I believe that the plugin that @Lawrence talks will go a long way if it is in public domain. Hence, I request him to offer us some download links to his work. Thanks.

Support is merged, yay!
So now, BuddyPress support is at https://buddypress.org/support and support for BuddyPress plugins is at https://wordpress.org/support
@ninjaface – I have not encountered this issue before. The way I would troubleshoot is:
Deactivate All Plugins
Switch to Default theme
Does this fix the problem? If so, then the problem is either your custom theme or a plugin issue. If the problem persists taking the above steps, then try re-installing WordPress and BuddyPress.

@aces I have used http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/33072/how-to-remove-feeds-from-wordpress-totally but this works only for the WP pages and not for the BP pages.
then i used
function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_personal_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_friends_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_mentions_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_favorites_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘groups_action_group_feed’, ‘groups_action_group_feed’, 3 );
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘bp_remove_feeds’);
But still I can see the feeds for the activity page 🙁
Any help will be highy appreciated?
Anyways @aces thanks for responding 🙂
Drdick8, in the next major version of BP (1.7) theming will be easier and allow you to use ANY WordPress theme out of the box. There are millions of WP themes. (See: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes)
With the 4. requirements listed all of them (depending on how you prefer to have it setup is provided out of the box)
1. You could use a Wp blog.
2. Post type (Post types are really easy to implement even without coding skills)
3. Post types, again.
4. Plugins. Would this be suitable? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/appointy-appointment-scheduler/
I think customising P2 (Which Automatic – the company that runs WordPress.com – uses for internal communication) may suit your needs well.

Using “BuddyPress Media” plugin, you can upload media files from iOS 6 now

I am running WP 3.4.2 I am running BuddyPress 1.6.1 I am running bbPress 2.2.2
My blog is http://leadership.kevin-bowser.net
I am new to BuddyPress and Forums. I have successfully set up my WordPress site with BuddyPress except for the Forums. The menu is there and the page is there. But when I click the “New Topic” button, the screen flashes a new forum screen for just a second and then it disappears. I have searched through the codex for help and cannot find it.
The installation instructions at http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/#c-set-up-sitewide-forums-only were not able to guide me through the process.
Can someone assist me?
Thank you.

Wordpress 3.4.2
Buddypress 1.6.1
Buddypress Courseware 0.9.7
Hello I’ve downloaded the .mo/po spanish files from the github and upload it in the buddypress_courseware/languages and still in english, I’ve tried many things that I´ve found in the forums that talk about how to translate yor buddypress courseware but nothins works. So I think that maybe this is the right way to resolve this issue. I really thanks for any one who can help in order to acomplish this simple task.
Let me rephrase my question then. Is there anywhere within the wordpress or buddypress code that can be edited so it will allow or force it to accept more than one scope? Does anyone have the knowledge to give me some guidance in how this can be accomplished. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
Right ok so Im new to buddypress but I know wordpress and php well enough to edit existing files etc.
What im wanting to do is add a section to the profile subnav. I want member to be able to upload albums of images. I dont want to use plugins that are available as they dont do what i need them to do. but i do need to be able to view these albums/images on their profile.
All I need to know for now is how to add the sub sections under profile section. I have seen many similar topics but non that actually work or do what i need.
hmmn… it still works for me but only for the activity feed ( excluding the ` lines which weren’t converted to the new bp forum format ). It used to work for members as well.
To disable all feeds I just tried the following from http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/33072/how-to-remove-feeds-from-wordpress-totally
:
/**
* disable feed
*/
function fb_disable_feed() {
wp_die( __('No feed available,please visit our homepage!') );
}
add_action('do_feed', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rdf', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss2', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
add_action('do_feed_atom', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
Which worked for me to disable All feeds to everyone. It’s a bit unsubtle but does plug the security hole….
@mercime
Hi, change to default theme and the page still not found.
“What’s installed at domain root http://www.domain.com ?” meaning?
I just did a fresh install of my wordpress and theme and only buddypress.
I realise this, do u think this is causing the problem?
when i point to my name in the member page, the link show
http://domain.com/buddypress/members/Sean Lee/
but when i click on my name , it lead to http://domain.com/buddypress/members/SeanLee/ ,without the space, tried typing manually with the space between the name, it still lead to http://domain.com/buddypress/members/SeanLee/, and page not found.
Any solution?
I created a child theme and shows the message below. how to remove?
You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress-compatible theme to take advantage of all of BuddyPress’s features. We’ve bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes or update your existing WordPress theme.
theme code children:
/*
Theme Name: Custom Community Filho
Theme URI: http://themekraft.com
Description: Tema filho para Custom Community
Version: 1.0
Author: josefabiosan
Template: custom-community
*/
@import url(“../custom-community/style.css”);
Hi, i am using “bounce” buddypress theme. I install buddypress and bbpress together. i manage to set up everything. The link http://domain.com/buddypress/members/ show all the members. when i click on my self ,it show page not found. Any solution?
The wordpress,buddypress, bbpress, version are up to date.
I’ve installed a fresh WordPress without any plugins. Only Buddypress.
I can’t activate accounts with the activation link. Same problem.
You can check this.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/
This plugin support video upload and its free
@monkfish13 You can checkout BuddyPress Media plugin here
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/
This plugin is actively updated so you may love this. Note that this is different from bp media plugin that @mercime has shared just above. It has features like multiple file upload, album support and more. You can also check the demo page here.
http://demo.rtcamp.com/buddypress-media/
As far as I know, currently there is no plan for BuddyPress to integrate multimedia sharing as core feature.
BuddyPress Media Kaltura CE component is no more supported. The current version BuddyPress Media is available here which is not depend upon Kaltura.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/
I just asked in the SocialAuth plugin forum if they can make it compatible with Multisite and BuddyPres.
