So, after installing my theme, I installed BuddyPress, and activated it. I got a message that said “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, User Groups, Members, Activate, Register.” With a Repair button next to it. I went to the page, and repaired the links I was planning on using. Back at my dashboard, I was looking for the BuddyPress section, but it was no where to be found! I went into the settings, and there it was. The only available page I have is the page with the tabs Components, Pages, Settings, and Forums. I tried installing BP Template Pack, but I got a fatal error that completely disabled the entire site. The error read: “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() (previously declared in /…/wp-content/themes/Mikmag/core/buddypress/_inc/ajax.php:17) in /…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php on line 157” Can anyone tell me what’s happening? I installed BP right from the plugins page, and I’m running the latest version of WP (3.4.2). Thanks so much in advance!
My buddypress members wont show up under the members page or members widgets only shows up under users on wordpress deshbord why is this
Hello,
BuddyPress is awesome, I use it at battlecity.org. The only issue I have is a constant battle with spam.
Askimet is awesome at finding and clearing out spam comments. The problem is, with BuddyPress, I get spam user registration and Askimet doesn’t remove spam accounts.
To try and fight the spam accounts I use two plugins:
– BP Humanity (users have to answer a question like five plus two)
– SI Captcha (users have to type in sequence of characters displayed in image)
However, even with these two plugins, 10-20 spam user accounts are created daily. If I don’t login for a week, it can be very difficult to delete 100+ accounts. And if I don’t delete them, they’ll eventually all start posting about viagra, credit cards and magic ponies.
So, after some searching I found a plugin called User Spam Remover (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-spam-remover/). This plugin lets me delete all the spam users with a single click, rather than having to go through each profile in BuddyPress or try to sort through them on the WordPress users page. The only problem is that it does not play nice with BuddyPress, since it was designed for WordPress (it will leave behind remnant information, such as “Bob became a registered member” on the activity page).
I have two feature requests:
1 – A nice option would be the ability to hide the “became a registered member” message from the Activity page. I get enough spam user registrations that the activity page becomes a useless blurb of new users that aren’t actually new users. Once I delete all these spam accounts, the Activity page is awesome, showing useful things like new forum posts, groups and comments. I want it to always be like this, I don’t need it to ever display messages about new users even if they are legitimate.
2 – Built in function to detect and remove spam user accounts. In fact, this can just be a page that lets me sort and select users in ways that would bring spam accounts to the forefront. If I can sort by date registered, I can get a list of all new accounts on one page where I can select and delete about 95% of them (now I can get an alphabetical list which takes forever to sort through). Or if I could pull up a list of all accounts with no activity that would help too (if I can delete them all from the same page). I’ll never be able to block all spam registrations, so anything that makes it easier (less clicks) to clean up is awesome.
Another option for anybody in the mood for plugin development, is to make spam-user-remover compatible with BuddyPress or fork it to be a BuddyPress plugin.
Just some thoughts! I’d also love to hear any feedback on how others are fighting off spam.
I’m sure I’m missing some obvious step here, but I am trying to install BuddyPress 1.6.1 on a new installation of WordPress 3.4.2. I went through all the steps and installed site wide forums (I didn’t install group forums). I see a forums/topics/replies section in my dashboard and a number of pages were created including a forums page. But going to the forums page gives me a “The forums component has not been set up yet.” So what am I missing?
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?
Hi,
I want to add extra default profile fields from WordPress (first- and lastname) in the BP registerpage (besides username, email and pass).
I have found the BP-file where I can add extra fields: register.php
I have tried to copy-paste field-code from WP-file user-edit.php, but that’s not working unfortunately.
I noticed in register.php every field starts with ‘signup_’ (for example: signup_username).
Only adding new fields in register.php starting with ‘signup_firstname’ and ‘signup_lastname’ is not enough, what do I have to do next?

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!

Hi,
I would like to have a ‘new user approve’ plugin… So new user can register but admin must approve his/her registration.
I did find something, but activation emails are still being sent to new users. So I cannot use this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-user-approve/
Any suggestions?
Guido
Hi, I want to enable all users to log in through their Facebook account to make things easier for them. Is there any way to do this; I have tried many plug ins but none seem to do the job. I am new to WordPress and Buddypress so any help would be great!
