Hi guys,
Had this issue a few version back and it got patched. Now broke again:
Just created a ticket on Trac after testing it and replicating on a new install.
http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4488
The original ticket and patch was here:
http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3697
Same kind of issue with caption and shortcode being fed into the activity stream excerpt.
To replicate is simple:
-Open a new post
-Place a picture with a caption BUT NO LINK into the post
-Publish
-You will see the caption and the closing caption shortcode in the stream item
Tested on 2 installs and a brand new install of 1.6.1 with no plugins at all running.
Could someone try to verify this and I would be SO grateful for a patch to sort this as I want to launch a new site this weekend!
thanks in advance!, really appreciate it! 
I’m going to create a thread per section to collect wireframes and focus discussion in this next phase of refinement. Props to @r-a-y for suggestion.
I’m going to link each set of wireframes we have then please add any wireframes you have and any thoughts you have on the wireframes. Feel free to ‘run with’ people’s ideas too – sometimes a picture can say many words 🙂
Current focus wireframe based on the consensus from dev chat:

What about https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-mobile/ – it all depends on why you want an ‘app’ but that may be a good first stop solution?
@sudeepacharya current BP 1.6.1 is *not* compatible with WP 3.2.1. You should be upgrading your WP to 3.4.1 version. However, if you cannot do so at this time, you’d need to use BuddyPress version 1.5.1
I’ve just installed buddypress plugin in my wordpress 3.2.1 site but it;s showing blank page.
Please help me out of this.
Regards,
Sudeep Acharya
All tagged versions in the SVN repository still exist and can always be downloaded.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags – not sure where the zip files are.
Not sure though why there would be a difference between 1.5.7 and 1.6 you may want to pass that by the theme authors.
You need to use / choose your theme not select BP out of the box
Hello, I have had a very difficult time adding buddypress functionality to a development site hosted at “http://wptest.smbsuite.com/wptest”
The installation went wrong and I have subsequently spent hours trying to delete buddypress such that it will run the installation wizard again rather than trying to repair the install.
Also, 1.6.1 is not compatible with my theme. I need 1.5.7 and that seems to no longer exist anywhere on the internet. It would be most helpful if the install could be done from within wordpress so I don’t need to bother the admins with FTP access, but I’LL SETTLE FOR ANYTHING THAT WORKS!
Finally, at the install I had 3 options: 1. Use buddypress out of the box, 2. Use theme management to manually configure, 3. Do nothing. I chose buddypress out of the box because I thought that’s what buddypress support meant. For this next try, what’s the appropriate selection for a site that uses the Gantry Buddypress Plugin to theme Buddypress? I can’t find anything that explains this clearly.
@Travel-Junkie
Is that plug-in a WordPress plug-in or a Firefox plug-in?
Howdy Guys,
I’ve working on a project at the moment that requires more information from the user during the signup procedure.
I’ve worked with wordpress for years but this is my first buddypress project.
Basically I need to accept date of birth.
Is there a simple way to add a custom field to the register screen but then also save this information away into the database.
Thanks,
WebDevB
I’m running the latest version of WordPress (3.4.1) and the latest version of BuddyPress (1.6.1). I can view the activity stream in the back-end of WordPress and I can edit the settings for BuddyPress under “Settings > BuddyPress” but I can’t edit anything else. I really need to get custom fields in the profile. Am I missing something? Is something not working? What do I do?
Obviously I’m new at this and thank you to all who help in advance!
Hi Roger, thanks for the reply. I tried resetting my permalinks, no cigar. What, exactly, am I supposed to be looking for when I check my .htaccess for redirects?
This is the entire contents of my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Thank you.
Hello,
when I use the sitewide forum of bbpress, the topics started are not listed in the profile under “Topics Started” for some reason.
I get “Viewing 7 topics – 1 through 7 (of 7 total)” but no topics are there…
If I install the group forums it works, but I don’t want to use the group forums.
It happens on the BP default theme as well, so I guess it is not a theme issue…
I am using:
– WordPress 3.4.1
– Buddypress 1.6.1
– bbpress 2.1.2
– Salutation Theme 1.5.2
Thanks
Here’s a related thread — although, about post urls rather than member profile URLs, in the activity stream. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-wordpress-permalinks-breaks-old-buddypress-activity-updates-links/
Storing the post URL independent of the permalink structure, is a simple enough fix. It’s harder to think of a solution that could deal with 3rd party plugins (or manual) changes to the member URL structure (other than the core BuddyPress being enhanced to support a ‘permalink’ settings for BP members / components similar to those applied by WP to posts, categories, etc.)
Using phpmyadmin.. Export your tables to file on the source site, and import from that file on the destination site.
There are plenty of tutorials on moving a WordPress site.. Have a Google.
@keats18 Per scan of your theme’s HTML structure, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Akita theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with
`<?php get_header();
themeblvd_main_start();
themeblvd_main_top();
themeblvd_breadcrumbs();
themeblvd_before_layout();
?>
You can use the filter bp_get_group_join_button to modify the class.
Have a read up on WordPress filters and actions.
You can put your filter in bp-custom.php or functions.php.
That said, I’m not sure what simply adding a class ‘confirm’ will achieve — is there some Javascript configured that will auto display a confirmation popup if the button has a class of ‘confirm’ added to it?
I haven’t solved the problem yet, Here’s were I’m looking https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter
Here’s were I think the filter needs to be added?
`
* @uses bp_insert_activity_meta()
* @uses apply_filters_ref_array() To call the ‘bp_get_activity_action’ hook
*
* @return string The activity action
*/
function bp_get_activity_action() {
global $activities_template;
$action = $activities_template->activity->action;
$action = apply_filters_ref_array( ‘bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta’, array( $action, &$activities_template->activity ) );
if ( !empty( $action ) )
$action = bp_insert_activity_meta( $action );
return apply_filters_ref_array( ‘bp_get_activity_action’, array( $action, &$activities_template->activity ) );
}

Some progress in debuging…
When i insert
[ sourcecode language=” php ” ][ /sourcecode ]
and open the post for editing, i get [ sourcecode language=”””” ][ /sourcecode ]
The word php disappeared and the place is double quoted !
Then i save these changes and the code cames up, but without colored synthax.
This is a first step on the right way. Colors are missing but code is showing correctly at 90%
Single quotes became curly for ex.
Probably backpress kses filtering.
I tried to deactivate BP’s filters bp_get_the_topic_post_content wptexturize and bp_get_the_topic_post_content bp_forums_filter_kses, but this changed nothing.
I posted on the support forum, but it seems still for a long time ago.

@chouf1
– I am using a child theme of bp-default theme, a port of apeatling’s design of BP 1.0 BuddyPress theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.0/bp-themes/bphome/screenshot.png
– Also that IS screenshot of the BuddyPress Group Forums new topic page. You can see the Group Name and Group Admins above the forum topic 
But going back to the syntax highlighter, I do see the issue now if I post HTML/PHP code just like yours instead of CSS which I posted above and used lately. I was able to find a work-around by using `[ sourcecode lang=”title” ] the code [ /sourcecode ]` (just remove the spaces before ahd after the brackets) Result: https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp161-shevolved-php.png
@chouf1 site is private, but I took a screenshot of the group forum topic I made for you as well as the screenshot of the config settings. I post code usually e.g.
[ sourcecode lang=”css” ] the code [ /sourcecode ]
or [ php ] the code [ /php ]
P.S. had to put the spacings between brackets or else it won’t show up here.
http://myplayfulself.com/wordpress/ Just downloaded today. Neither the Registration or the Activate selections show up on the bar. I don’t know how people are supposed to register or what and Activation Code is?
I have a plugin called BP Verified and you could use it identify a normal editor acount as a site “admin” not the WordPress install admin. This would draw attention away from the real admin account.
I’m not seeing how someone can tell your an admin if the username is not admin. if you change the username to something else the account will just look like any other account. If you are so concerned about someone breaking into your site lock down the wp backend to your home ip address or google some of the options to protecting WordPress.
Also backup database regularly so you can just reinstall if hacked.
Can one install WordPress Multisite after Buddypress is already installed? Would it cause problems? I know you usually install Multisite first.
