I’ve disabled all of my wordpress plugins but I’m baffled to why the profiles of the username adds the extra %20 characters to them.
I’m running the latest buddypress version as it has just been recently installed.
If I manually delete the %20 characters, it still goes to the same page (for SEO, this is bad since I will have two URLS with the same content). But I’m more worried about aesthetics, especially when users want to hyperlink to certain profiles, activities, links, etc…
Any advise?
What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using? Has the URL stayed the same?
Also, I suggest you revert to a standard WordPress theme (e.g. twentyten) and disable all plugins. Go to Settings > Permalinks and re-select/save your choice. Reactivate BuddyPress. Hopefully no errors, and that twentyten continues to work ok.
Then switch back to the theme that you were using, and check the BuddyPress functionality.
Hi Steve,
Missed your mentions.
do_actions can be found by searching for them. If you have a good search program, do a search for “do_action” throughout the /plugins/buddypress/ folder. (You’ll get a lot of results! It’s better to just sift through the code to find what you want though.)
As for specifics, the do_action for activity updates is “bp_activity_add”:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.9/bp-activity.php#L679
The code snippet above will not work with this as the parameter for “bp_activity_add” is different.
You need to convert WordPress into a network before users can create individual blogs:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#post-1855 (scroll down to “Blog tracking”)

Or you might consider allowing your users to post on your current blog by making them an Author:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Author
By default, users are Subscribers.
Hi,
I need the following: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2296
Yet WordPress have closed their ticket, can anyone offer some support on this? Where can I add the above code?
I need to know when someone changes their account email and also when someone updates their status.
By default the only “base” information is the username. This can’t be deleted.
Also why to delete when you can hide or give permission ?
For the other field or fiedset YOU added, try some of these plugins
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-privacy/
As a work-around, I wonder if I could use this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/ to assign roles based on the profile field answer.
Then I could more easily show different sidebars depending on roles.
Not the cleanest way to do it. Has anyone else had trouble with checkboxes?
I’d like to add a blog to my site and I’m confused on how to. I’d like to add a Blog tab in the navigation with a blogroll that I could add daily posts.
Here is my site: http://www.sharemickey.com
Wordpress Version 3.2
Buddypress Version 1.2.9
BuddyBoss Version 1.1.2
Thanks,
Joe
It’s a cookie problem that was not fixed in v1.2.
However, it is fixed in v1.3:

Howdy all,
I am trying to create a website where there are TWO Profile TYPES.
1. Normal User (let’s say soccer players)
2. Client User (coaches and/or teams)
At registration the person chooses the TYPE of USER they are; once they choose Player or Coach, the registration form changes to incorporate the fields for that TYPE of PROFILE. Thus the PROFILE TEMPLATE is different for the PLAYER and COACH.
I am having the hardest time doing this. I can’t even find an example of an outside company who has already done this work in wordpress/buddypress. So even if I want to hire an outside company who has done this; I can’t.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
we have relaunched the homepage and a lot more.
you can also vote for us at the wordpress showcase https://wordpress.org/showcase/plazaa/ 
@stwc sorry to bother you again. I saw your site and thats cool!
One thing, I got that snippet working but how to make “Reply” vanish selectively for the blog posts and blog comments ?
Another thing, have you been able to add “Favorite” button in the blog post itself so that there is something like “Like”(wordpress.com Like not FB) below the blog posts itself also?
@mercime It looks the same. I deactivated all plugins both on the network and in each individual site (I have 3 sites in my network). Made sure the default Buddypress theme was activated (only on one site) and Buddypress on network activate.
I believe you had told me to follow these steps before in the WordPress forums before, but it didn’t work that time either. What could be causing this issue?
So I have the latest version of wordpress 3.2 and Buddypress 1.2.9 but I’m still getting this error when I check the error console in firefox. I also notice two things, drop down menus in navigation don’t work and the homepage headline slider does not function. I’m using buddypress daily as a theme. Thanks.
Replying to blog post (new post made from a WordPress blog) shows up in the activity stream BUT replying to it IS NOT deposited under the comments of that blog post.
WHILE in bp-album this is done logically, if someone replies in your album that is added in activity stream, as well as if someone replies to a photopost from the stream the reply is added in the album. Cool! And logical.
How to do this for blogs?
I downgraded wordpress with my backup before the upgrade and voila. Everything works perfect again
I have downgraded my buddypress Install to see if thats where the problem lies, however it still persists. I am not running Buddypress 1.2.8 however the reply doesnt work.
So i presume this has to do with the WordPress aspect.
Everything works fine in the default theme however.

Feel free to help.
BuddyPress Follow is not working with the latest WordPress 3.2 and latest Buddypress.
Any one got it working?
Currently the “Favorite” that comes as BP default or the Buddypress Like plugin does not have Like integrated in blog and stream – that is if you Like a blog by clicking Like in blog teaser in activity stream that is not taken as Liking the Blog post nor does it show up in the actual post. This is confusing. Take for example FB’s Notes (= blog) you can Like the same both from the stream or from the actual post. This makes sense.
Trying with the latest WP+BP+no other plugin except the following one at a time, these are problems :
i-like-this does not show like activity in buddypress stream
i-blank-this does not work at all
baw-like-unlike makes body of post disappear, also like buttons don’t show
buddypress’s default “Like” is not integrated to blogs, that is no like button seen on blog posts so that you cannot like from there, or if you like from activity stream the blog post does not show how many likes it got
the closest is buddypress like plugin, but if Like is done in the actual post it does not show under the blog teaser in the stream and does not show Like count also
What is the module or plugin used for “Like” in wordpress.com? Can it be used for multisite WordPress **with** like activity being shown in activity stream of buddypress?
Has anyone successfully implemented “Like” (any plugin) with latest WP (and BP) ?
@Paul No, I haven’t customized my dashboard theme. I’m actually using a child theme based off from the default that comes with Buddypress. The screenshot below shows what’s going on, except now I’m using WP 3.2:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/2096/adminbar.tiff
@hnla I was able to reach my Network Admin dashboard by going to the dropdown menu as you mentioned, however I had to go “Inspect Element” in Safari and then remove “padding:0;” temporarily from the wp-admin-bar div.
on the wordpress plugins page?
