I was able to find this plugin which made life easy. Once again, thank you for your help.

Search Replace for database.
Most. maybe all, of the do_action hooks you need are in this file: buddypress\bp-friends\bp-friends-functions.php
I’ve just added that restriction into my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-messaging-control/, I’d welcome your feedback, but make it on the plugin forum, this ones only for BuddyPress.
It’s in the Public Message Character Restrictions in Settings>>Messaging Control
You should ask on the bbPress forums regarding limiting the topic size.
For private messages and also Activity update size restrictions I’ve just added those restriction capabilities into my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-messaging-control/, I’d welcome your feedback, but make it on the plugin forum, this ones only for BuddyPress.
Yes that’s correct, BuddyPress just uses the WordPress Login, there’s quite a few alternatives.
If it still does not work with BuddyPress deactivated then something’s blocking WordPress itself. One thing to check is if you have ever installed a cache, some of them leave files behind, it can be quite a job truly uninstalling them.
if I deactivate Buddypress, issue persists. I am totally lost here.
the strange thing alse is that the log-in page is has the wordpress logo, is this correct?
Hi, new in WordPress and Buddypress, Following some youtube tutorials, I have installed buddypress and configured it. Everything fine but I have few issues:
1. The Member page is shown whe users are logged in (which is fine) but also when users is logged out (this is the issue that I have. anyone (logged in or logged off) can see and access to the Member page.
2. When a user is registered, receive the e-mail and activate the account (in the WordPress dashboard the users shows as ACTIVE), then the user tries to access to the site using the user and password but get an error that the information is incorrect and is unable to access the site. Me as administrator I am the only one that can access the site.
3. if that user clic the “Forgot password” option, a message indicates that an e-mail was sent to the e-mail but is never received.
4. In the Member page, only my user is listed as active, even when the site has several active users.
I know there are several topics, but any help you can provide, will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Yep I’ve tested it and hidden groups are not displayed in the users group lists, neither with BP Legacy nor BP Nouveau.
Could you raise a bug report of Trac?

ok I understand though it could be clearer also on BP side, because for the login… they send to a WordPress login!
And all internet says that both bbPress and BuddyPress come from the same company!
I started by googling “free online forum platforms” and then saw there was a platform by wordpress… etc, and I finished here.
We have no relationship with wordpress.com, BuddyPress is a free plugin, available to anyone using a wordpress.org self hosted site. it’s the wordpress.com info that would need to tell you this, not BP.
But also in BuddyPress, they should say that intalling BuddyPress in wordpress is only for paid plans. I did not see it mentionned, so it seems possible to do for the free plans as well….
We don’t really support wordpress.com here, they have their own support but my understanding is that you don’t get to install other plugins on the free plan.

this is also why I found strange I had to register a second time to be able to post here! They would not admit my address to log in!
IS this a wordpress.com site?
Thanks Venutious for a quick reaction! I do not have such page. My question is if this is a possible option in WordPress when you have a FREE plan? Or only with paid versions? If this is the case, this should really be put forward, as absolutely none of the websites I visited or the pages in wordpress, tell it!
I could hardly arrive here… I have a free version wordPress site and cannot find where to download plugins, as I want to install a forum.
So I cannot install buddyPress nor bbPress!
I cannot even give my version of WordPress as I do not find where it is written… It is from december 2017.
And I could not even log in here with my log in informations from my WP site and had to recreate an account, so I dont even know if I have 2 accounts now, and why the BuddyPress site would not recognize my mail!
Quite discouraging as I used to run an SMF forum, so how much changed in 15 years?!!!
Is this not a wordpress issue as opposed to something in BuddyPress, if you can see the extended profile link in the Users list, that’s the only link BP adds to this view, role settings are WordPress.
I have three admin accounts on my site – the default admin, a TempAdmin, and one under my own username. I can edit the first two but not the third. I can view the standard and extended profile but when I mouse over the account I do not see the edit link nor links to assign roles etc. that I see for the other accounts. I am using the latest version of BuddyPress, on the latest WordPress hosted on WordPress.com. Their techs cannot figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. The site is https://hellocommunity.net
o create new user roles you can use Members plugin, it is a very popular user and role management plugin that was created to make WordPress a more powerful CMS.
I’ve created a plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-devolved-authority/ which allows you to devolve aspects of managing BP to other roles. That will enable you to do this. Note you will also need to grant “list_users” capability if you want them to do that from admin, but they should be able to edit from the front end.
Hello,
I’m using Buddypress latest version, with a child theme.
I would like to enable a specific WordPress role I’ve created (“Gamer”) to be able to edit the BP Profile of all users. How can it be done ?
Cheers,
Denis
Hi there Kenni,
Thanks for reporting this, would you mind raising it as an issue on Trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
Then you’ll get confirmation when it’s fixed.
Ah got you, I can confirm clicking on blog based notifications does not clear the notification.
Could you raise a bug report on Trac?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
Once you’ve done that I’ll add some comments about my own testing.
