Topic: adding new members
I’m planning on importing all of our members into buddypress – around 1,000 people. I will also need to monthly update the information.
While testing importing (using s2Members) I noticed that whenever I import people, they don’t show up as members in buddypress until they login the first time. Upon further research, I’ve discovered this is by design with BuddyPress to prevent spambots.
Although I appreciate the security, this puts me in a bad place. Part of the point of having this on my website was so that our members can search through the member directory so they can connect with other members. That assumes that all 1,000 of my people login first, which just isn’t going to happen.
I moved my whole website over from Joomla to WordPress assuming I’d be able to get BuddyPress to do this (which we could do on our first site).
Anybody have any ideas for me on what to do?

Hi!
I run a private network based on WordPress and BuddyPress and am looking to customise the way new users register and login to the site. I’ve been searching and found various techniques to achieve this since there’s no built in option in BuddyPress to restrict new users from login until an administrator has verified and activated their account.
Background: My site has two parts. Lots of pages and posts that are public and available to all users through Google. This is targeted towards search referals to get potential members to visit the site. The other part (the interactive BuddyPress functions such as Activity, Members, Groups, Forums etc.) are protected from public access using the plugin S2Member. To access these functions, you need to be a logged in member.
This is the process I’m looking for:
1. New user visits site, registers through the standard “New user” registration form which I have customised with a few custom profile fields.
2. Details are saved and the user is presented with a message saying that “An administrator will now review your membership application and send you an e-mail once your account is activated.”
3. An e-mail is sent to the administrator who then manually activates the user after verification of the information the user has filled out.
4. An e-mail is sent to the new user welcoming them to the site and introducing them to the different functions.
5. The user can now login and access all content.
What I’m looking to do is to redirect the activation link e-mail that is sent to the new user to the administrator. I’ll then be using S2Member to restrict access to the interactive BuddyPress functions and manually change the user role to a level where the user can see the BuddyPress functions after verification.
I’ll be posting my progress here and hopefully this will be a relatively easy way to create a private membership site. Any thoughts or mistakes in my plan so far?
Hello,
I’ve been searching around for a plugin/way to allow users who are logged in using Facebook through my site and have a buddy press profile to add posts to my wordpress site, but I’d like to customise the form they fill in so there are just some small text boxes + an image upload.
In my search I have come across people suggesting the use of Gravity forms, quickpress plugin (now outdated and updated to one click) and a few other plugins which all seem wordpress user account related. I’ve also read multiple posts on the forum here (most 2 years old) where they problem has not been resolved.
I was wondering if anyone knows of how I could do this? What I’d like is:
A way to create a custom form which logged in buddy press users can fill in.
This form creates a post on my wordpress blog, using the categories which are selectable on the form.
An option for the user to upload an image for the post.Thanks in advance,
RobI spend a lot of time to find a fix for that. So if you still have problems do the following:
1.) Download the “avatars” folder and delete all bpfull-XXxXX.jpg pictures and reupload it
2.) Take a look here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4092
@boonebgorges gave the comment with the workaround (Thanks for this!)…So this is the code to replace with in bp-core-avatars.php, line 211:
`// Check for current avatar
foreach( $avatar_files as $key => $value ) {
if ( strpos ( $value, $avatar_size )!== false ) {
$avatar_url = $avatar_folder_url . ‘/’ . $avatar_files[$key];
break;
}
}
`For me there are no more problems now… It would be great if the BuddyPress-Team could get this into the next release…
Best!
Hello. Using WP 3.4.2 and Buddypress 1.6.1 – site: hooping.org
Upgraded to BP 1.6.1 and it said to run installation wizard. I did and then I got this message:
“The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums, Members, Activate, Register.” – with a Repair Button. Clicking the Repair button I have options to create a new page for these things, only I’ve been using BP for a few years with forums, members etc and they’ve never had a page associated with them, just slugs as far I know.
Tried replacing the buddypress plugin which brought me right back to the same place. Any thoughts or insights appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
I realize that this is a very newbie thing to ask, but I just can’t figure it out.
1). I have Buddy Press Pages for Activity, Groups, Members and Forums. Great.
2). The Activity Page is the entire Site’s activity. OK— the problem starts here —
3). To get to “My” Activity, I can get their one of two ways:
a). I have to display the members, and then select me.
b). I have to use the admin bar (i.e. the regular WordPress admin bar where it says “howdy, “, and the you get drop down menu options) , and select Activity from the drop down menu.I don’t actually want to use the admin bar at all, and I would like to have a menu item on the main page that gets me to “My” Activity.
If anybody has some time, I’d really appreciate at least a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks in advance,
Mike.Hi, please can you help me with a code to create the “create site” link under sites> next to “My sites” in buddypress member profile area.

}Hello,
First off, thanks for taking the time to read this.
BuddyPress v1.6.1 is installed and working fine on WordPress v3.4.2.
After enabling FORCE_SSL_ADMIN in wp-config.php, the following features stop working in BuddyPress:
1). You cannot ‘Post Update’ in a ‘What’s new’ type of form. The button appears, and it can be clicked… but it just sits there and spins forever (well, maybe not forever).
2). On the Groups Page, if you click on the ‘All Groups’ or ‘My Groups’ main menu items, they will also sit there and spin.
I’m sure there other examples like #2 on various other pages.
Should I not be enabling FORCE_SSL_ADMIN? Or, I suppose there may be something wrong in my Theme, etc. I’m about to try a standard bbpress theme, but thought I’d start this Topic anyway.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Mike.Topic: Mobile inquiry – high demand
We all know that social networking, blogging, communities are really getting popular and are in high demand. More and more people expect these services to be on mobile.
@modemlooper has made a BuddyPress Plugin to make BuddyPress mobile friendly.
He’s also told me he is developing a new Mobile plugin. I was wondering if BuddyPress itself, will be developing a mobile friendly version. There aren’t any online services that can create a mobile view except from DudaMobile, even that, does not work with BuddyPress, only WordPress.
WPTouch doesn’t work for my BuddyPress, when enabling it, I get a blank screen. Which is a shame.Hello,
I have had a look at a number of different posts which detail different ways and snippets of code to get buddy press working with themes. The instructions seem to be different for each one, as the theme
tags are different, I assume.I’ve tried to edit the files to make them the same as my page.php in the theme but I can’t work out how to do it.
http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Can anyone help me please? If I post up the page.php output, would that be sufficient for someone to tell me where I’m going wrong? I’ve seen some really helpful posts from @mercime so I’d be very grateful if you would be able to help.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
