I have WordPress.org I install Buddypress social network Now I cant get to my Dashboard. Website is asking for -Activation key, which I dont know. What must I do?
Hi,
I am using a plugin that uses the standard body_class filter to add body classes depending on your browser/device. However, it is not working on buddypress pages. Is buddypress not using this filter? Or could there be something else?

Thank you.
Hi guys! I wanted to add a tab in each BP profile page to show all the author’s published posts on the website (not MU WP).
I’ve noticed a plugin that do that (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-posts-on-profile/), but since it doesn’t has a pager, it shows only a few posts. So it’s useless.
Is there any easy way to do that? Thanks!
Thanks! I am having problems, I can’t log-in my own website all evening at WordPress.org, its asking for valid “activation key” which I don’t know. – Help Please!!!
@themightymo Yes, post feature requests aka enhancements there. Know that feature requests with patches already attached are welcome. Providing patches to fix bugs in trac will get you the warmest welcome 
Before posting, you should do a search first to see if someone has already posted same enhancement there. Do also check out https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap
== I don’t see a link to take me to my home page similar to facebook, essentially my activity stream. ==
What theme are you using? If you’re using BP Default theme, you can click on the link under your avatar to go to your Activity Stream page. Or, if you meant that you wanted the user to be automatically directed to their activity page upon log in, check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/
I agree that this causes confusion. You might try creating a ticket here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
@mercime – Thanks for the info. I was also wondering that about the WP.org forums. 
Is this (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/) the right place to put a buddypress.org feature request? It seems awkward, since I am not requesting a new feature be added to BP core. I have never submitted a BP ticket, so I want to make sure I start off on the right foot.
== What it doesn’t show is whether or not someone replied to my reply. ==
I know what you mean, ala WPorg forums. We don’t have that notification nor custom view at this time for the group forums. I use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscrioption/ for own sites.
Not sure whether a feature enhancement for the aforementioned will be entertained at this time because come BP 1.7, group forums will be migrated/merged with sitewide forums. If you feel strongly about it, you can open trac ticket for this.
This sounds like a basic jQuery+WordPress question and not necessarily a BuddyPress-specific question. You will need to do a couple of things to pull this off:
1) Enqueue jQuery
2) Write/copy-and-paste a jQuery script that limits the number of characters in a specific field. Then enqueue that script
Start here (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) and know that there will be a bit of a learning curve!
@c930586 Might be that something went wrong with the compatibility process. What WP theme are you using? We have a list of around 110 “template-packed” WP themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes with different instructions based on the HTML structure of each theme.
@mrm222 @rickkumar just to clarify
BP Multi Network plugin = multiple instances of BP within multisite installation with different groups, activities, etc. but with shared users across the network.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
BuddyPress Multi Network plugin = multiple instances of BP within multisite installation with different groups, activities, etc and different users per subsite. (can be shared users but you’d have to code it yourself or hire a developer to do so)
BuddyPress Multi Network
Here are a few options I thought of off the top of my head:
1) You might consider using a “membership” plugin. I don’t have a lot of experience with them myself, but I think one of the features of some is the ability to use a “key” to register (think of it as a password). You could give them the “key” at the end of your survey.
2) If you are savvy with code, you can likely pass a query string via the url bar as well if your survey software allows it.
3) Password-protect the BuddyPress registration page. You should be able to do this via the WordPress page editor. You could give all the participants the password.
Right, I used that plugin and was not able to get it to work. Content from a sub site shows up on other subsites.

Hey, I just saw the reply to this ticket. (Sorry about the time it took to reply)
Regarding
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4573
I’ve done several fresh installs of WordPress, then installing the BuddyPress plugin using (Mamp).
Using WordPress 3.4.2. / BuddyPress Version 1.6.1
When I post activity (either on my localhost or my live site)
The Activity time is right BUT
Several Hours are added when I visit the Activity panel inside my dashboard “wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-activity”
I use the dashboard Activity because of its search and dates.
I would even assume it does this in http://testbp.org/activity/ but the Dashboard activity panel is hidden. Let me know if there are any fixes or if I need to re-clarify anything. Thanks for your help!
I have the same issue in this video with bbpress, with latest wordpress and buddypress
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ___b7gQGU
and I use sitewide forum, and not only the group forum have issue but also the site’s forum’s thread cannot be edited, anyone experience the same thing? Thanks!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ though I haven’t checked it with BP 1.6.1 and WP 3.4.2
Hi,
I just installed wordpress and buddypress. I activated it. I ran the installation wizard. As soon as it is finished, the system reports me this error:
“The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost:8888/wordpress/XXXXXXX/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bp-components. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.”
I’ve tried many times always with the same result. I’ve tried with buddypress default theme as well as other compatible ones.
P.s. I’m running Mac Os X 10.6.8, using MAMP (the works perfectly well before installing Buddypress)
The funny thing is that if I try to open, on example, Wp-Config with Text Editor, the system now tells me that the “application does not exist”… Yeah, right…
Please help! It’s already a few days I’m on it, without any result!
Thank you
Giovanni
As the mightymo mentioned above, you can create a sidebar/widget area in the header of your theme. Read how http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/05/26/the-complete-guide-to-creating-widgets-in-wordpress-28
You’re right that BP is a plugin, but we don’t really take over any of WordPress. We extend some parts of features found in WP — for example, user profiles — but we don’t take anything away. BP and other plugins work together fine.
Was there a particular concern you had?
Hello,
I’m interested in preventing users from entering more than some set character limit (say, 300 characters) in one or all of the custom profile fields I’ve set up. I’ve seen a few threads here and on StackExchange saying one needs to either use HTML or Javascript, but I haven’t been able to figure out exactly where (specific Buddypress files and line numbers) to make these changes. I’d prefer to limit characters on the user input side of things, not just let them enter as much as they want but limit how much I display.
Would some kind soul walk me through how I might do this, assuming out-of-the-box latest versions of WP and BP? I’m thinking I need to make changes somewhere inside buddypress/bp-xprofile, but haven’t been able to get anything to work… e.g.
– this StackExchange thread (http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/36159/how-to-limit-character-length-in-buddypress-function-output) doesn’t tell me exactly which files/lines to alter, so I haven’t been able to get its solution to work
– haven’t been able to figure out this Javascript solution (linked in another thread on this forum)–where to place the function and textarea code, and do I replace existing code?
Pertinent specifics:
Wordpress 3.4.2, running locally via MAMP
Buddypress 1.6.1 (latest stable release) installed
Using the standard BuddyPress Default theme
Thank you for your help!
Ok, so here is what I would like to do, and I’m not sure if it is possible with any existing plugins. I have set up a wordpress multi-site network. I would like to be able to set up a bunch of subsites, some that have buddypress, and some that don’t. Each subnetwork would have its own content that doesn’t show up on other sites.
So, basically, someone would come to my site [example,com] and they would sign up for [example,com] login. This login would then allow them to, for example join the [example,com/kittens] network for kitten enthusiasts (just an example, haha). They also would maybe want to join [example,com/deathmetal] which is it’s own network. They could use the same login for both of those sites, but the content they posted on the kitten site would not show up on the death metal site and vice versa. They could then also use this login to post comments on [example,com/money] which is not a buddypress site, but still a subsite of [example,com].
The problem I am running into now is that I have multiple sites set up, but it seems that buddypress is installed on them all and content posted on a subsite is posted on all the sites.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
