I am using latest version of buddypress and wordpress. I have installed event, media, and forums plugins for my users, but I now have TEN tabs at the tob of my profile page. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s the link to my profile page- My profile (not sure if it shows up as link). Anyway, once you’ve seen all those tabs, you can see what a mess they make. Is there a way I could remove one or two tabs from the top of the PROFILE page, but keep their settings so users can access them somewhere else on the site?
Since I am using WordPress 3.5beta1(nightly) and buddyPress 1.7 I am starting to see a lot of plugins where either the admin menu refuses to show up, or I get the old ‘you do not have sufficient permission to view this page…..’
I don’t know why this is happening, and I’m hoping someone can explain it so that I can begin to fix some of the plugins where this happens.
Here is a link to the most basic plugin I can find with this problem: “bp-display-name”
http://scenicjobs.com/wordpress-plugins
Basically, you can see the admin menu link but when you choose a selection in the dropdown and click save, you get that stupid permission error.
I only chose this plugin as an example as it’s a very short plugin to read and the most simple, yet maybe it will explain the problem and what changed in WP 3.5 and bp 1.7
btw
whoever came up with that stupid error text…..argghhhhh
I’m in trouble I have I encountered some problems during installation in the control panel for the forum

This one can drive a person absolutely mad trying to figure out. Depending on what your setup is (Multisite-enabled?), you can try this method;
1. Create a noreply@yourdomain.com (or whatever you want to call it – you can even use a Gmail address for this, though I’ve not tried that approach myself) email address, if you don’t already have one, with SMTP relays, especially if your ISP has restrictions in place for sending email.
2. Add and activate the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin; https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
3. Configure the plugin settings to fit your needs, or as per the plugin instructions suggest, by going to “Settings” -> “Email” in your WordPress admin area.
At least that’s what I recall from my past experience with BuddyPress enabled and having this issue, and it worked like a charm!
Thanks
1. AMU is a plug-in called Add Multiple Users which https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-multiple-users/ It enables a CSV import of users. [Sorry for not being clearer in the OP].
2. Users added manually – ie using the WordPress new user screen – and users Registering using the front end – work fine in BuddyPress – [both those entered before and after doing the CSV import with AMU) ie the user has a profile page and can edit it.
3. All the users imported using AMU have all fields complete including first, last, nick and display names. The only empty fields are www, jabber and AIM.
4. Users from both the CSV import and the manual user added from the Users_Add_New_Screen screen are added to a BP groups using @boonebgorges‘ Buddy Press Group Management plug in. All appear in the group member list (and all members lists) but the ones bulk entered using CSV file do not have profiles.
I’m going to try doing another import and see if I get the same result.
I’ve read the details at codex.buddypress.org and tried the “tests” for correct WordPress install.
They all seem to work.
I also read: `”WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts (fantastico, softalicious, etc.)which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated.”`
Apparently I’m off into “various issues” land. Are these issues listed anywhere? Since my WP seems to pass the listed tests? What else could be going on?

BuddyPress is not sending any activity notifications emails…. when someone registers, etc.
The outgoing tests from WordPress work fine. Help?
I’d like to make a local install of WP + BP so that I have a “sandbox.”
How would I clone or replicate my local install to my hosted server?
I know that I can SCP or FTP the files from the web site folders, but then how do I deal with the required database files and supporting parts?

Other than the issues described in the codex article, is BP v1.6.1 supposed to work with WP v3.4.1 or v3.4.2 without much grief?
I’ve contacted my hosting vendor to discover how to best proceed with the corrections you suggest that I need.
Thanks,

This has been reported in trac. Check out possible solution for your installation https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4571

@newmember01 you need to install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. Then you have to go through the BP Compatibility Process. A MusicLife theme that looks very much like your WordPress 40005 theme has been set up for Step 3 per https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
@sb0n Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your yoko theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
Hello I have been trying to install buddypress and I am a bit how do you say…slow in this topic. My theme is this:
http://livedemo00.template-help.com/wordpress_40005/
I really don’t know what to do at this point. I am really lost so please can someone help me?
Thank you for reading this.
@Virtuali — thanks your comment worked for me — I was having the same problem as @cmroybal. Reinstalling wordpress would have been awful. I did have to uncheck enable forums for that specific group though and then re-enable it after deleting the specific group forum file in the database. Thanks a bunch!
I am not trying to search through the activity. I want the search field to search through the main site’s blog posts. However again the search simply refreshes the main page which I have set to the Site Wide Activity page. The search no longer displays results.
We’re customizing the BuddyPress groups loop to filter groups by state and all of that is working fine by passing ?state=FL in the query string. I’m now trying to add WordPress rewrite rules so I can make the url /groups/state/FL and be able to access state=FL by $wp_query->query_vars.
I’ve used the following code to accomplish this rewrite:
function add_rewrite_rules($aRules) {
$aNewRules = array(‘groups/state/(.+)/?$’ => ‘index.php?pagename=groups&state=$matches[1]‘);
$aRules = $aNewRules + $aRules;
return $aRules;
}
add_filter(‘rewrite_rules_array’, ‘add_rewrite_rules’);
function wptuts_add_queryvars( $query_vars ) {
$query_vars[] = ‘state’;
return $query_vars;
}
add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘wptuts_add_queryvars’ );
This is all working and I can access the /groups/ page from /groups/state/FL now, except no content is displaying in the page…
Is there a better way to accomplish this using BuddyPress rewrite functions?
If your trying to search activity, I use this (https://github.com/sbrajesh/bp-searchable-activity) which adds an “activity” option in the buddypress dropdown search.
I made the Buddypress Site Activity the front page of my custom themed site. When you search via the WordPress search bar which should show related posts, the search bar simply refreshes the front page of the Site Activity.It does not display any related results. However when I make the front page the WordPress blog index then I can see the related search results.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
O.K., I finally figured it out myself. So in case you came across this thread in search of a resolution, here it is…
Edit your .htaccess file on your server. This can be done by manually editing it via FTP or with the Yoast SEO plugin directly in WordPress (which is obviously easier).
Put the following code in .htaccess file. If you don’t know where or how to insert the code check out http://www.squidoo.com/301
Anyway, in the code below, I’m redirecting only http://www.YOURWEBSITE.com/members to a location of my choice. In this case, I’m redirecting it to my homepage, but you can choose any location you like. Make sure to leave the ^ and $ or else it will not work properly. It basically tells the redirect to only move that single URL and nothing else associated with it. That way when a user enters a group, they can still see all of the members in that group. Here it is…Enjoy!
RedirectMatch 301 ^/members/$ http://www.YOURWEBSITE.com/
