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,

@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/

What do you need the profile fields for? Seems like WP_User_Query would do the job perfectly.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query.
If role is stored as an xprofile field, you might want to look at BP_User_Query. Haven’t used that class yet, but it might do what you want.
Hello,
Am just looking for plugin suggestions based on experiences..
My system consists of a wordpress multisite with buddypress & bbpress.
I have a number of sites each with there own forum so what i would like is a user to be able to register to a certain site and automatically be set to forum participant.
Will this need to be custom made or does anyone know of a plugin
Many Thanks
If it’s just first and last names for your drop down – you can fetch those from the default WordPress fields / calls.
Is ‘role’ stored as an xprofile field or are you mapping across to WordPress roles? If the latter, you should also be able to achieve with the built-in WP functions.
What is AMU? Some type of import script? If so, make sure that the FIrst Name and Last Name is filled in when importing the user and BuddyPress should pick it up.
To test, try adding a new user from the WP Users screen:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Users_Add_New_Screen
Make sure to fill in everything except “Website”.
I’m trying to find a function that will return an array of certain xprofile fields from all members, similar to how get_users() works for WordPress user fields. Ideally, I’d also like to select only those members who are attached to a certain role.
My end goal is to populate a drop-down select menu with the first and last names of all members (from a role).
It seems like this should be a built in function, but perhaps not?
@robert-tramontano in case you change your theme, we have a list of template-packed WP themes with step-by-step instructions listed https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
== My hosting vendor offers WordPress install through SimpleScripts service. ==
Do not use webhost instant WP scripts as they have been problematic for BuddyPress as well as WP Multisite installations -> https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements
Backup DB and server files, then start from scratch. Drop DB, upload WP manually via FTP and intall WP.
In the meantime, all BP-compatible plugins listed in our plugin section are hosted at WordPress.org https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=buddypress
