thanks for the reply guys
Is there way of using the above code to simply display a notice along the lines of ‘you must be logged in to view this content’
as apposed to redirecting them to the register page, as I don’t really want that great big wordpress logo staring at them lol
So as I see it, I have to create the bp-custom.php file to place the code in right ?
any news on this? is there anyway to use some of the work done with wordpress plugin “postie” to develop this? and an upload photos by email function would be amazing like facebook offers…… currently can’t upload from iphone so this solves the avatar registration issue too from a mobile

Umm… this is your 3rd post asking pretty much the same question that was answered here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-privacy-how-can-i-hide-members-profiles/ Creating multiple posts on the same topic isn’t going to get you help any faster; it just tends to clutter up the forum.
The conditional code provided in the thread I linked to above will get you what you want. It’s now a matter of learning about Buddypress file/template structure, and educating yourself on how WordPress and Buddypress work to understand how and where to use the code snippet. To help in this regard, links were also provided to the main help sites (codex) for both WP and BP in one of your earlier posts, along with a suggestion by hnla for a site where you can get basic coding help.
Time to hunker down and get your hands a bit dirty! Besides, learning new stuff can be a lot of fun 
what about https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-activate-users/ WP Activate… i feel its slightly buggy with buddypress, but it does the job… problem is sometimes… if the refresh button is pressed multiple times on the user account confirmation screen… then the user gets created multiple times … but if u approve him once in wp activate.. the user doesnt go away… he still remains.. check it out though.
HI @mercime
I can’t seem to find it. Which plugin would it be displayed on? The updates screen says that all plugins, themes and wordpress is up to date?
Thanks for the response!
I think WordPress is a great piece of software, and Buddypress is promising. However, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of overlap between the functionality of WordPress and the functionality of Buddypress. Buddypress doesn’t even use WordPress posts, and integration with the WordPress user system is optional. I’m just curious… why not have BuddyPress as a completely separate code base?
I was reading this post by Yoast: http://yoast.com/highlighting-wordpress-authors-search/
It seems that the rel=”author” attribute will be built-in to WP 3.2 – which will be great for blog authors, but won’t by itself support buddypress Profiles and Activities (permalink.php).
Here is his solution to add to regular WP blogs:
`function yoast_rel_author_filter( $link ) {
if ( false === strpos( $link, ‘rel=”author”‘ ) )
$link = str_replace ( ‘<a ', '<a rel="author" ', $link );
return $link;
}
add_filter(‘the_author_posts_link’,’yoast_rel_author_filter’,10,1);`
Any ideas on how we can add buddypress support?

Hey,
I have a folder of user images(2000+) and I’m looking to use these for the avatars of users in buddypress. I have buddypress sharing the wordpress user table and I have a plugin that picks up the users AD credentials and creates an account for them. I have a database that matches the AD credentials to the the users picture.
Not sure what the best way to go about this would be. Should I create a plugin that overrides the bp_core_fetch_avatar filter?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks for coming back to me.
I’m running WordPress 3.1.4 and BuddyPress 1.0-RC1.
Plug-Ins: Akismet, Janrain Engage, WP FollowMe, Easy Privacy Policy and All in one SEO
@themightymo What sort of pricing do they offer?
Hi guys, I’m new here and in pretty desperate need of some help!
I am running a twentyten theme with buddypress add-ons… here – http://youareditched.com
I cannot access the individual member pages and the members list is there but doesn’t seem to work when changing pages.
Also, (I’m sure it links) the toolbar only shows wordpress options not the pre-set site specific menus.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys!
Your message is not specific. What exactly doesn’t work?
You know, I’m not sure. But I would be pretty confident to guess that you activate the bbp-twentyten in the same place as any regular WordPress theme. After all, it is a WordPress theme.
This question is also more suited for bbPress.org forums, as it’s not to do with BuddyPress. Thanks!
Since sub domain structure is not possible I have made wordpress multisite in directory structure in my website. But I try to implement buddypress plugin.. buddypress functionalities are not working.. how to make it work.. ?
@webby101 – You are safe to update to WordPress 3.1.4. When WordPress 3.2 drops, we are going to release an update to BuddyPress 1.2 to fix a few compatibility issues.
You should also update all sites on your network on your own. Normal users should not be updating your site for you. 
P.S. In the last question I guess I’m wanting to know if WordPress and plugin updates will be left to individual blog users or can I as the network admin update all the blogs using the UPDATE NETWORK function.
Thanks again.
Hi there.. I’m giving Buddypress another whirl so I’m not to familiar with the process of updating core WP files; specifically WHEN to update.
I noticed that there is a new WP version and that I’m being asked to update. Is there any problem with always just going ahead with the update or should we be waiting to see if buddypress will have some sort of problem with the newer version? I tend to update the instant I’m notified of a newer WP version.
Also, do we just click the update automatically button or should we also be running the UPDATE network button to globally update the individual blogs?
Thanks very much!
Actually, just found an AMAZING plugin from rich here:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/changelog/
Takes pending activations through the real process of activation, leaving you with no unused keys in the wp_usermeta table. Highly recommended but support stops for it by BP version 1.3.
Someone should definitely take this over, it’s essential!
You’re not calling any BuddyPress-specific tags in that code sample, so you might have better luck asking for support on the WordPress.org forums. However, you say that you “can’t query up the loop!” What output are you getting, and what output do you expect?
I’m not sure what this has to do with BuddyPress. You’re best to contact the author of the SMTP plugin that you’re using for support, or to post on the wordpress.org forums.
Can anyone give me an update on this ticket? https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3059 I seem top be using a different version of bbpress that whats been worked on right now (How can I find what version of bbpress im using?).
The patch that is on there works to a point, but the paging is screwed up.
Hi! This is probably more of a bug report, and may not have a solution as yet. On top of that, it’s not really of earth-shaking importance…but I thought I’d look into it, anyway!
I’ve got a pretty much out-of-the-box install of Buddypress running over top of WordPress 3.2-RC2. When I’m logged in to the Admin account, the admin menus in the Dashboard sidebar don’t expand/collapse. When I’m logged in as a “normal” user, the menus work like they’re supposed to. If I disable the Buddypress plugin, everything goes back to normal for the Admin account.
I’ve tested in Chrome 14.0.803.0 dev, Safari 5.05, and Firefox 5.0. This might be too early to be worried about such a small thing, but has anyone else run into this behavior, or have an idea of something I could tweak to try to fix it?
@oldrow – With hosting, a lot of times you get what you pay for. I don’t have experience with Lunar Pages, but I do know that if you want to control how fast your site loads, you need either a better shared hosting environment or a VPS or better.
If you want to stick with cheap hosts, you might try another one. For example, I have had decent luck with Hostgator.
