BuddyPress.org

I found this post describing how to do this but I don’t know where to place it!
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/excluding-roles-from-the-member-loop/

I need to prevent certain roles from showing up in the member directory and giving them a profile. Is there another way to do this?

i am brand new(like today) to wordpress and buddypress both so please be patient with me. I realize alot of plugins are optional but my buddypress does not seem to be working right, there are no fields to edit any user profile infomation, and it is not sending a new user email out to create a new account. Is there a list of minimum plugins i need to install. right now all i have installed is buddypress, askimet and bp profile menu(which also does not seem to work) also i would like to make this site a 2 membership level site with a free trial period what do I need in order to do that?

I recently installed and integrated Buddypress into my website platform and am looking for an SEO solution to leverage the content my community generates. It seems odd I cannot locate anything noteworthy in my searches and am hoping I’ve just had bad luck.

I would prefer a plugin, or insights, as to how I can get the following integrated into my Buddypress installation:

– Permalinks
– Titles
– Keyword Generation
– Meta Descriptions
– XML Sitemap Creation

I am shocked I haven’t found a plugin package I can pay for with these features. Maybe I’m just missing something. Each individual activity, in theory, could be better scanned by search engine robots if these existed. Now, we wouldn’t want to sitemap each individual activity, of course, but title and permalink rewrites would certainly give added weight to the buddypress groups – perhaps I am wrong on this.

NOTE: I have not had any luck with SEOPress on the current version of Buddypress, it appears to rewrite the titles incorrectly.

Any help would be great!

Running WordPress 3.4.2 with BuddyPress 1.6.1 and HostGator.

Basically when I send a friend invite the recipient receives the notification, however, when he accepts the request it says accepted and nothing happens. The request returns to pending and stays that way no matter what except when I disable friend connections.

Also when I request to join a group there is not a notification sent to the Admin of the group.

We had BuddyPress working on a previous theme, and working with the current one yesterday. I’m very confused as to what the problem is.
