Hi there Guys,
I am looking for some advice please. I have install BuddyPress on to a clients website this afternoon, but I see it needs to create pages, which when done removes the design I have created using a WordPress framework theme. Is there a way of putting shortcode’s into the pages that I want BuddyPress to show up in?
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Kind regards
John
I have upgraded from version 1.5 to 1.6 but nothing’s working.
I decided to uninstall 1.5 and then install 1.6 but no menues, files or option are showing after installing it through ftp since installation directly from WordPress does not work.
I also get double line at the top of the window, (One grey and one white) and appart from that no menu is showing
What’s this bug and and can I fix this?
Thanks;
Hi,
I’m using WP 3.4.1 and was previously on BuddyPress 1.5.7 before updating to 1.6.
I was using child pages for the page structure in BuddyPress
So it’s something like
Activity Stream (parent)
— Members
— Groups
— Forums
and it’s working fine, (though there is a page title bug as mentioned in http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4242 , but this is not the issue now).
After updating to 1.6, I can still access the child pages such as:
blog.com/activity/members
blog.com/activity/group-forums
blog.com/activity/groups
But the problem comes when going into anything under the child pages. For example, when going to a member profile in
blog.com/activity/members/username
it shows a 404 page.
Is this a bug? or is there anything that I need to do? I’ve visited my permalink page and clicked save button just to make sure the permalink is refreshed.
I hope someone can advise me on this. Thank you 
‘add_filter(‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’);` in your functions.php file to turn off fully.
Alternatively, you can use:
‘Settings > BuddyPress : Toolbar Show the Toolbar for logged out users’
You can also select to show or hide the WordPress admin bar on your own profile.
If none of those work for you then you may need to look see if your theme is forcing something.

How can this be accomplished so that only the admin has the dashboard link and not the subscribers. I am using wordpress 3.4.1 and buddypress 1.6 on a localhost for testing.
Any help please ?
After updating to 1.6 my wp-admin area went blank…
Deleting buddypress folder from /plugins did not help me..
I eagerly await any helpful response..
Looking to shoot that trouble..
BP uses its own registration but every user is signed up to the WordPress blog BP is installed on. Most WP plugins work with BP. You should do your own testing to verify.
I’m investigating BuddyPress as a potential solution and am curious about how compatible standard WordPress plugins are with BuddyPress. Particularly I’m wondering about centered around users like AutoChimp [http://buddypress.org/community/groups/autochimp/]
Are users who sign-up silo’d to BuddyPress or are the in the regular WordPress system too, hopefully that question makes sense.
The BuddyBar has been merged with the WordPress bar in this version of BuddyPress. It actually has a lot more functionality. There is some discussion on this topic https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-can-i-use-old-buddypress-admin-bar-if-i-dont-want-to-use-this-new-one-in-1-6/ that may give you a few more options.
After Updating buddypress, admin side throw me this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_displayed_user_id() in C: wamp www wordpress wp-content plugins buddypress bp-core bp-core-template.php on line 1117
any idea?
solution: For Version 1.6, the database version (bp-db-version in wp_options) changed to 6066, and the Trac revision was 6231.
After the recent update of buddypress, i found the tool bar changed to wordpress tool bar, i dont want wordpress tool bar, it was better before, dont want my community members to enter dashboard. any remedy to switch back to buddypress tool bar
Hi!
Is there reaaly anybody from BuddyPress answering to all these questions?
It’s a shame launching a new update and NOT SUPPORTING us. Plase somebody Answer.
I have upgraded from version 1.5 to 1.6 but nothing’s working.
I decided to uninstall 1.5 and then install 1.6 but no files or option are showing after installing it through ftp since installation directly from WordPress does not work.
What’s this bug and and can I fix this?

You can enhance the WordPress menu system to support dynamic links (including BuddyPress profile links) – there is a specific filter that you need to use.
Please take a look at this other recent forum thread, and the link on there which has all the details: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-to-create-new-dynamic-menu-including-bp-links/
You’ll need to be a competent PHP developer, but if so, it’s relatively straightforward
The old bar is deprecated. Use an older version of BuddyPress if you want to use the old bar. Please note the 1.6 notes (no pun intended):
In the Highlights section (https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-6/#highlights):
Toolbar — complete integration with the WordPress Toolbar.
Also in the General section (https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-6/#general):
BuddyPress now uses the WordPress Toolbar. The BuddyBar has been deprecated. (#3596, #3661)
FYI, the WP bar is much better and you are able to customize it fully with the available hooks.
I ran the auto update. Now I cannot access the admin panel for any of my wordpress/buddypress site. I need to be able to approve 30 new members asap! Please help!
Hi Charlietech, the BuddyPress admin bar is now merged with the WordPress one.
So, you can use this:
‘add_filter(‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’);` in your functions.php file to turn off fully.
Alternatively, you can use:
‘Settings > BuddyPress : Toolbar Show the Toolbar for logged out users’
You can also select to show or hide the WordPress admin bar on your own profile.
If none of those work for you then you may need to look see if your theme is forcing something.
Just a slight point on top though, if possible can you only start one thread per question as it does help to focus responses?
Hi everyone, I am reading some documents how to customize BuddyPress. At this step, author mention a function in functions.php but I can’t find it.
// Stop the theme from killing WordPress if BuddyPress is not enabled.
f ( !class_exists( ‘BP_Core_User’ ) )
return false;
This is my functions.php, any idea

Depending on how you have your navigation set up you could add the ‘Profile’ page to your nav menu using the WordPress menus interface. I have mine added to the ‘primary’ menu and it shows up Hope this helps.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user works with buddypress… I use it like this.
To personalise the admin bar I use something like this (bp version 1.5.7)
I’m wondering if there are shortcodes of sorts that will display a logged in user’s fields. I would like to have a welcome page for a user that greets them similar to how WordPress does it on the Admin bar: “Howdy, Username”. I’d like to diplay the user’s Full name and 3 custom profile fields I configured using Buddy Press. Does something like that exist?
@michaelsanborn All bbPress versions are located at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags Just click on the version you want and in the next panel, download zip on click near bottom of the screen. Having said that, you know that the old stand-alone bbPress versions are only compatible with much older and less secure WP versions.
If you or someone else updates the converter, you should take into consideration that the BP Group Forums will be integrated into the bbPress plugin sitewide forums. https://bbpress.org/support/
== I was wondering if there are any projects like this in development now? ==
@piofcube not that we are aware of. The best place to suggest/ask for either a WP and/or BP plugin like that would be with the developers of WOW to help promote and elevate the game. Btw, did you check out any of the plugins listed https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=warcraft&sort=
If you want validation as they type / enter — hook some jQuery onto your form. [That’s standard jQuery form validation, for which you’ll be able to Google for plenty of examples]
In your jQuery, you can call out (POST) to your PHP validation function. Look up AJAX in WordPress for details on how to do this – in particular you are interested in using admin-ajax.php and registering your function as an action. You then specify that action in your jQuery AJAX call.
You might also want to look at some of the WordPress data validation functions.
