Hey All,
Im using WordPress 3.0.1 with BuddyPress 1.2.5.2. I have used the WP-FB-AutoConnect to allow users to login using their facebook accounts and it works absolutely fine. However my issue is that I want users who login for the first time (those who login through the facebook connect) to go first to their profile page and fill out the additional details in their profile and update their facestreem and tweetsream settings. Any idea how to do this?
Your help would be MUCH MUCH appreciated.
Okay, so now it’s happened again – only this time it’s someone that I know that I trust implicitly so I’m really confused. Take a look here and you’ll see that her avatar has taken over all of the group avatars: http://hooping.org/wordpress/groups
Any idea what is going on?
This plugin kind of does it:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/other_notes/
as long as you follow the instructions under “Activity on Topic Posts”
Although it doesn’t actually show up as a forum “reply” like usual it looks like an activity update on the forum post here:

You can see an example of what it looks like near the bottom of the thread.
Sociable for WordPress 3.0 works on BP.unfortunately Like button is on pro version only. On the other hand Facebook share still works.
any word on when this will be fixed? I am building my first install of buddypress and not being able to access the codex is really frustrating. Thank god I did all of my wordpress customization before getting to buddypress or I would have given up on the entire system.
Well to late – I started over and did the following:
1. Created new database
2. Installed wordpress 3.0.1
3. Installed buddypress plugin 1.2.5.2
4. Reset permalinks to numeric
5. activated default buddypress theme.
outcome same… url same.. same problem when I co to the server directory the only thing I see is wordpress directories and the only place I find anything from buddypress is in wp-plugins.. I followed all on screen requests in wp admin panel.
I an going thrugh the codex link you gave me Thanks.
Wp 3.0.1
Bp 1.2.5.2
no other plugins
Don’t start deleting stuff at this stage, it unnecessarily drastic. Earlier you answered yes to setting permalinks so I’m assuming that you didn’t get a message informing you that it couldn’t be written and showing you the code that would need t be added manually.
I would have a read through this page in the WP codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
and see if any of that helps before deleting stuff or looking at other areas.
When I look at the directories in the site there is only the wordpress directories and none of the directories that buddypress is looking for when you hover over buttons (www.whatever.com/activity/) activity/ does not exist. Its like buddypress plugin installed in plugin directory but did not install needed items. At least that is what it looked like…
Plugin is buddypress 1.2.5.2
Please Help
Some emails are being sent with links to buddypress but others – hotmail one, was logged into wordpress profile page…
I know how THEY did it, but I would prefer to use a ready-made plugin since I am running WordPress….that would be very convenient. That’s why I asked if anyone knows of a plugin that does this.
I am unable to delete members via the BuddyPress admin bar (I receive the following message: “There was an error deleting bob from the system. Please try again.”). I have to go into the WordPress user admin to delete them. (WordPress 3.0.1 & BP 1.2.5.2). Any ideas? (I’ve tried reverting to the default them and deactivating all plug-ins except for BuddyPress)
get_post_meta( bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id(), ‘thumbnail’, true)
but have a read about this – if you have pull info from a user’s blog post. so to switch, you’ll need to pass in bp_get_activity_item_id() (which is the blog_id)

Welcome Pack
Disclaimer: it’s my plugin, but it does what you want.
Yes , I know about that plugin..
But I don’t have much of a budget ..
so would like to get a code edit option, which would be costless 
Edit: Got a Solution
Under the “Super Admin” menu is an “Options” link, on the options page is a setting called “First Comment Author” – The author of the first comment on a new site., this setting controls the value you see ie. “Mr WordPress”..
Voila Enjoy !!!
Mainly if you want to rename or customise the user table, or share that table between separate WordPress installs, etc.
Same problem also for me. I dont know how to remove hello world
How do I redirect to the wordpress login page and not the buddypress registration page? I want to create all the user accounts myself and prevent random people registering for my site. Thanks!
Please make a new post, @ri-kun. This one is two months old and is on a different topic. We’ll reply in the other post, but what I think you need to do is go in and remove everyone from the root blog (they’ll be assigned as a ‘contributor’ or other user role by default). An alternative would be to edit the template so it always skips that item; I’m not sure what the consequence of removing that default user role would be.
Unless you want to run multiple sites (the correct terminology, not “blogs”), you don’t need to run multisite. Regular WordPress will be fine.
There’s no technical difference as to how to structure your site. If you just want your site to look the same on the homepage, but for visitors to dive deeper before they get into “BuddyPress land”, then maybe sticking everything under what appears to be a directory would be best (take a look at the URL for this page, for example. We’re under /community but the main blog isn’t).
I agree it’s the wrong way around. I’m advertising my own plugin here, but what I have done on some sites is use the Welcome Message part of Welcome Pack to send a private message to the new user and to say hello and remind them to complete their profile / picture, etc.
