Helloooo there BuddyPress! 🙂 🙂
I am new to BuddyPress and I am so excited to learn and use it.
Website: http://ceefworld.org/ – In development, it is not live yet.
Theme: Charity Is Hope: (https://themeforest.net/item/hope-nonprofit-charity-donations/18634753?s_rank=3)
WordPress version: 5.1.1
BuddyPress version: 4.2.0
I have installed BuddyPress and I cannot see any of the default fields on the Registration page or when a person is logged in I don’t see the defaults fields there either, where the can edit their profile or anything.
So, I guess what am I doing wrong? I set-up all settings I wanted but still don’t see them on the front end. What do I need to do?
Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate it,
Christine 🙂
I am running WordPress 5.1.1 with BuddyPress 4.2.0. On Site-Wide Activity users are able to post update just fine. However when attempting to comment on a post in site-wide activity the “post” button does nothing and will not allow someone to actually post a comment from site-wide activity. If they go to the users profile they can make a comment just fine there.
It’s s bit odd for sure, it’s not even asking you for your login details. the URL is the web address that the link will take you to, if you hover above it, the link will usually be displayed in the bottom left of your screen.
What I notice about it when I view your site is that it’s got a redirect attached, to your register page. This isn’t usual.
Ah, I’ve just clicked it, this is not the usual WordPress login screen, which is what BuddyPress uses. This is something specific to WordPress.com, they seem to be overloading the login page. I think you will have to raise this with WordPress.com support. I think it’s something more generic about their version of login. Like they’ve set it to remember who you are and automatically enter your details for you. So maybe this is standard for wordpress.com sites? Makes testing difficult though.
‘Our sentries tell us that you should not be here’ That’s not a BuddyPress message, or one from WordPress either, could it me some security plugin you’ve added is doing this?
No it didn’t work, and now I’ve tried all the advice I received. I wonder if you, as WordPress.org support, can create an account on my site and solve the problem? I’m starting to be desperate!

I don’t know the answer to that as I know nothing about wordpress.com but I’d hope if there was a Swedish translation for BuddyPress that .com would support it.
Certainly on a self hosted solution you would get the latest translation plus the ability to customise it so that the language used was suitable to your specific site.
Ok I got it. sorry but see now that we use really a plugin called “notification” for this job.
Its a while ago when I made this installation. But would it be possible to send a email to users from the wordpress side without plugin to members?
I can only do this if my site is hosted on a separate server and not hosted by WordPress. Or…?
I checked again our system and finaly we use WPUF only to bring the Posts into the frontend.
So what I called Job-offers is finaly a usualy post of wordpress.
It’s the WordPress polyglots that manage translations for BuddyPress, they have a slack channel and I think you can find out the status of a Swedish translation from there.
I have a new moderation plugin in the WordPress repository that may help. It’s pretty simple at the moment, but will be actively updating it with new features.
Toolkit for BuddyPress
Maybe https://wordpress.org/plugins/badgeos/ can do what you are looking for?
in BuddyPress, only members with manage_options capability can update profile groups, though I’m not entirely sure what you are asking.
Sorry for the late reply.
It isn’t working for me, sadly. I am trying this on a staging site. Could that have something to do with it? When I try to edit my functions.php file via the wordpress editor, it gives me the error: “Scrape nonce check failed. Please try again.” However, it doesn’t give me that error when making edits on my live site.
Is there something I should be doing in addition to the autocomplete definition? I found this topic that is more recent. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/messages-send-to-auto-fill-functionality-not-working/
Could this be something?

Hi there,
Yes emails can be difficult to diagnose because sometimes they are sent but not accepted by the destination email host.
The first thing to do is to deactivate all plugins and see if that corrected it.
IF that fails, try switching to a default theme such as 2017.
Next thing to try is reinstall your BP Emails in Admin>>Tools>>BuddyPress.
If they are still not being sent then you need to turn on WP-DEBUG and see if there are any errors being produced.
If they are still not being sent, then deactivate BuddyPress and see if the standard WordPress emails are being sent.
Some people have got to this point and fixed it by installing an alternative WP Email engine, as it was down to their hosting provider not allowing the WordPress emails through.
There’s a new plugin you might be interested in – https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-toolkit/
This indicates you are using wordpress.com, we don’t offer support for that here, they have their own support forums and that specific error would need to be raised wit them.
I guess the next step would be to raise an issue on Trac, since this sounds like you are wanting a change to the way the code works. include the link to the Yoast discussion.
Hello again,
the YOAST team has confirmed the BuddyPress conflict and told me to contact the BuddyPress developers – it’s the back and forth game situation.
https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/12435#issuecomment-479479079
Can you please get in contact witch each other? Maybe you can sort things together. I am sure that a lot of users including me would gratefully appreciate your effort.
Maybe this thread could help to find a solution:
Making WordPress SEO plugin compatible with BuddyPress
Thank you in advance and all the best,

I am getting this error in the js Console “?v=2.0:6 WebSocket connection to ‘wss://public-api.wordpress.com/pinghub/wpcom/me/newest-note-data’ failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 403”
I’m not sure what it means or if this would be causing it but I did get that error above. I think I tried disabling plugins also.
This is straying off topic, could you open a thread on the plugins wordpress support forum please? I’m sure you’ll get a way better service there.
Hey @werny,
I’ve just added this to the repository. It doesn’t do anything advanced, but is free!
Toolkit for BuddyPress
I’m not sure which post you are reading, I’ve confirmed BP uses the WordPress login.
Thanks, nice plugin, going with https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-user-widgets/
There was a jQuery issue which I added a support ticket at the repo address.
