6. Which version of BP are you running? 1.5.4
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? Just incremental updates

15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? Linux / Apache 2
In the last week I have put up my new site at http://fanart.tv previous to that buddypress wasn’t installed.
Had massive load problems, with no apparent reason, so in the end I disabled every single plugin and started slowly re-adding them, everything is ok until I enable buddypress, then the loads start creeping up, at around 70% I can no longer do anything,, kill the site, restart it login before the load goes too high and disable buddypress, the loads go down and stay aroun 1%.
Really like buddypress (was my favourite part of the new site) so hoping there is something I can do to get it re-enabled with out killing the server (and losing my hosting, lol)
Anyone have any ideas?
We have job postings and different user roles running on a couple of our BuddyPress based websites.
Essentially though, it’s a task that requires a skilled developer, rather than being a simple configuration.
You’ll need a bespoke build – in our case, we have our own custom post types for jobs, use WordPress user roles & capabilities to differentiate between user types, and ‘hook’ them in to BuddyPress as a new component. For the bells and whistles, we also integrate payments and cron jobs to monitor and tidy up when job ads expire.
Hello all you good people,
I need to have one common buddypress network over ten separate installations of wordpress.
Is this possible ?
Hi i hope i am posting this in the right section. I am looking for a way to allow users from a email site to be able to sign up and login using their info from that site like as if i was using a fb connect plugin with my WordPress buddypress set up. me and the owner of the email site have been searching for a answer on the net or even looked at a few fb connect plugins seeing it it was just a quick switch of some info to make this work but nothing. i think if some one even wanted to take the time to make a universal pluggin that allowed two site to link up like this and act like the fb connect plugins it would be very useful esp for any one who even has a multitude of sites and not all of them are WordPress related and allow their user base to have just one login to access mulitpal sites.
There is something wrong with your register page as, I think, it should have Name ( at least ) as a required field under the profile details section.
If I click on ‘complete sign up’ without filling anything in then it redirects to the front page whearas I think it should stay on the same page but with error messages.
Is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/ the plugin that you mentioned in the other topic?
I wonder if it is compatible with buddypress. Buddypress is quite particular about it’s permalinks….. If you disable page-links-to, do you get the profile details content on the register page then?
It could be something else to do with permalinks and the .htaccess file that should be in the same directory as the wp-config.php file.
The usual method for diagnosing issues is to disable all plugins and revert to bp-default. If it then works one can start to reactivate plugins and theme until something goes wrong – ie the last thing you reactivated would be the chief suspect!
oops, i deleted it, so here it is again http://sumtips.com/2011/01/enable-multisite-feature-wordpress-3-1.html
I think the `ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404` line might be complicating things, so I would suggest removing it ( or putting `#` in front ) until the site is working properly again….
oh yeah, it’s not originally wordpress…I am interested to see the results I get on this tonight. I know the guy that built the original table is still around, I’m just not sure how available he is to help me out. And, I chalk this up to a really good opportunity for a learning experience.

Coming up sometime soon https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598 so if you have numerous postings already in your group forums, you might want to use group forums first and wait for the official way to safely move group forums (BP internal bbPress) to sitewide forums (bbPress the plugin)
If the old site isn’t WordPress –
You’ll need to write a script to insert the existing users to your new database.
Might be tricky.
Do a search on migrating from code-base-of-your-old-site to WordPress, you might get lucky.
Hi, I am not tech person, and don’t know what is going wrong. I have a wordpress atahualpa theme. After I installed buddypress, all buttons on my website stop working. For instance, in the contact form, after I click submit, the page would be refreshed, and back to the form. No email would be delivered. Samely, with group page, when I click the button “creat a group,” the page would be refreshed, and back to creat a group, instead going to the next setting step.
I have tried to deactivated buddypress. But the problem continues. Help please,
My website is meiguofalv.com. Thank you
Hi all, can anyone suggest a decent IM plugin for buddypress? I have tried bp-chat and that doesn’t seem to work on my site, no idea why! I have gone with WordPress Chat from WPMU, but it is live chat and I really want an IM system where you can chat 1-2-1 with other users/friends.
I am happy to pay for a premium plugin if you can suggest one. Thanks.
What is the best, most user friendly plugin for creating and managing BuddyPress groups and members from the WordPress dashboard for admins?
Anyone? Thanks!
I fill out the registration page click submit the page blinks like its registering and it goes back to the Create An Account page with fields still filled in the registration page. Does not register and no email confirmation. Running WordPress 3.3.1 and latest Buddypress. The anyone can register box is checked. Any help would be appreciated.
@hallsy – are you using the “Activity stream extras” plugin? i believe that plugin outputs that message.
http://etivite.com/wordpress-plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-extras/
Many thanks but nothing really works automaticly as it does on WordPress with theme-my-login or equivalent plugins.
I tried to use the ‘pending’ status for user and it does not work either.
At the end of the day, I use Buddypress and Private BuddyPress and I unclick the ‘anyone can register’ tick box.
– Users are then created manually by the Admin. Probably the most effective moderation.
– Blog and pages are public, social network remains private.
== my sister has had to re do a passwords more then 10 times, every time she updates it here she has to re do it again at word press ==
Nope. You only need to create an account at WP.org and you can use the same username and password here and at bbPress, among others.
== we are going to kickapps were we know support is live ==
Know that we are all volunteers living in different time zones. You have the freedom to choose whatever platform meets your needs even if you have to pay for it.
Thank you for your feedback. Good luck.
Honestly I searched for Social Networks CMS ( EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF) Unless you feel like paying 200 bucks for a program or a download link buddypress is the way to go..
Buddypress is very simple to edit and change…
As far as Privacy settings go.. yeah I know buddypress lacks that but it’s REALLY easy to create your own type of plugin to handle the privacy settings, or even script it in.
At times you don’t get a reply, but other times you do. When I did get a reply it helped out a lot.
Perhaps learn some PHP or how Buddypress and WordPress works.
Or just download Elgg and let me know how well that goes.
Best of Luck.
Ps. Buddypress ROCKS
Hi, seeing a very weird issue on my BP site.
My account there has username “Alex Weber” and handle @alex-weber … after updating BP, all references to bp_loggedin_user_domain() correctly return http://mysite.com/members/alex-weber/ … but that page 404s! Specifically, I get a WordPress “Page Not Found” message.
After poking around a bit, I found that I was able to view other users’ profiles just fine, only mine seems to have this error. Furthermore, I *am* able to view my profile, but only if I edit the URL to be:
http://mysite.com/members/Alex%20Weber/profile (or whatever).
In short, I cannot access my profile at my “slug”, but can access it if I replace the slug with my login name.
Any ideas why this might be happening or where I can turn for further troubleshooting?
PS – links in this post are 404ing (at least #1&2): http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/help-us-help-you/
– WP/BP versions?
WP 3.3.1 / BP 1.5.4
– WP Installed in root.
– WP Multisite = Subdirectory.
– Windows or Linux server? Not sure.
– Is this a new installation or an old one where you recently installed BP? I recentley installed buddy press on an old one.
– Check folder permissions via CHMOD, what are they?
Not sure which folders to check.
– What other plugins are activated in your secondary site with BP?
The primary site has quite a few plugins. As far I know I have to activate them as “Network activated” for them to work So i suppose the ones that are on the primary are also active on the secondary.
Here’s the list of plugins i’m currently using on the primary site at least. I only really need to use buddy press and some sort of albums plugin on the secondary.
Add multiple users v1.2.2

BM Custom Login v1.6.5
Buddypress v1.5.4
Buddypress Album v 0.1.8.11

– On the primary site i’m using Block by Organic themes. On the secondary i’m using Angus by epicthemes.
there is no reliable support your system here changes pass words, my sister has had to re do a passwords more then 10 times, every time she updates it here she has to re do it again at word press I’m sorry this system is a big pain in the ass to deal with! we are going to kickapps were we know support is live and and my sis get a damn reply, we know it will work thanks.. good bye!we feel like we are dealing with microsoft tiring to set this system up. so far shes had to remove all the plug in for buddy press we are just wasting time people cant sign up people are al ready complaining of the system is to much public the privacy system don’t do what you have said I’m sorry but this system need to be revamp from scratch rid all the useless none working plug in that is causing conflict you have to many people putting their i hands on plug ins and not paying any attention tot the core systems and match them like the pull in should be even godaddy support hate it.
Did you by chance install WordPress through a one click host install?
I followed your instructions. I have the latest downloads of Buddypress, WordPress, and BBpress. I am using the Salutation Theme. I inactivated all plugins with the exception of the Buddypress and used the default theme. The multiple users still show in the member directory, but only one user is registered.
Hope this is enough information this time.
To make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Also, please check out this info before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
