In the buddypress.org/about/groups page it says “Each group has a homepage. The group’s Activity Stream is the default Home tab for any group.” That’s not what I’m seeing. When I go to a group I’m in a “home” tab that includes an information box saying “Manage the Groups default front page” and a description of the group. Activity is a separate tab. I’d certainly like to have the home page for a group show the most recent posts there. How would I do that?
WordPress 5.1.1 running Twenty Sixteen theme.
Buddypress Version 4.2.0.
Don’t think so, it’s not in the WordPress repository so it does not automatically send out an update. Once we’ve got it kicked into shape I’m going to suggest we launch it in WordPress, then you will see the updates.
This sounds like a great feature to add to my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-messaging-control/ might take be a couple of weeks though. Why not raise a thread in my support forum and we can discuss how it would work?
Hi @irahulsolanki I just tested this again with the BP Legacy theme and I got the same results as you. could you raise a support ticket for this?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
All I can suggest is that you raise a new feature request on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
“How about switching to the BP Legacy theme to see if that works?”
That is the first action i did : i deactivated all plugins exept bbpress and buddypress and i installed TwentySixteen official wordpress theme.
i think Yoast seo it’s the best seo plugin for wordpress you can use that
Have you looked at https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/ that’s what I use to only display some menus to logged in members
Regarding changing the messages BuddyPress shows, you can create your own local translation file using the PoEdit application, see this doc:
Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs
If you really want to disable the activation emails, there’s an old plugin which I think still works:
BP Disable Activation Reloaded
If you have issues with it let me know.
Thank you! That gets me half way 🙂
I still get the notification after registration about the activation link – and I do not think that the little old ladies using my site will get that they have to activate and then wait for approval (to much for them to take in).
So I now are able to stop users with the extra My Private Site-plugin and the messages sent out from BP egistration works as a charm. There is only one (Account Approved Email) that actually is sent though – I can not figure out how to get the other ones to override the BuddyPress – activation-email. And if I de-activate that e-mail no e-mail is sent at all.
Also when I click on the register-button in the registration form I get redirected to a page that says that my account needs to be activated and I have to check my e-mail to do so. I want to loose it or change the text.
If they try to log in anyway they get the wordpress opt of re-sending the activation-link. Same thing here – preferably change the text.
But where do I find the texts? I guess the re-direct page is automated from BP, the other one is from WP.
Any tips?
You can enable search for names by putting this code in your child themes functions.php:
add_filter( 'bp_activity_get_include_user_search', 'venutius_add_name_to_search' );
function venutius_add_name_to_search( $setting ) {
return true;
}
Unfortunately there’s not a similar filter for the title, you could raise a feature request for this on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
In the site below, they copy the code to style.css file …
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-this-field-can-be-seen-by/
You could download a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/safecss/ and add these lines of css to your style sheet, or If you have a created a child theme, you can just add these lines to your style.css file
.field-visibility-settings-toggle {
display:none;
}
.field-visibility-settings-notoggle {
display:none;
}
I don’t have the style.css file in my Theme but these 2 files instead :
editor-style.css
theme-customizer-controls-styles
Please do you know which CSS files need to be added or modified ?
There’s an old plugin called BuddyPress Links which allows members to add links to a links directory and then other members can vote on those links. I think this would probably serve a similar function to what you want. However, it’s out of date and throws a lot of errors. I’ve been working on updating this and have asked the developer the code can be updated. I think for your requirement it would still need some changes so it recognises videos and embeds the video instead of a static thumbnail for the site. I think this is the closest BP has got to delivering what you want easily.
Alternatively there’s MediaPress which allows video links to be added to video galleries. You can also have a sitewide gallery that everyone can add videos to, this could serve as a basis for what you are looking for.
Another one I’ve just discovered is this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/dynamic-user-directory/ not tried it yet but maybe it will overload that page for you and work.
For side to side members pages you could try my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-directory-views
Hi,
I have installed BuddyPress for last 5 months and it is functioning excellently since the spam registration took place and interrupting the functioning of some of the tabs in WordPress, like widget, activity, and groups. One of the engineers, delete the spam registration, thus makes the widget section working again, but the activity and group tab on the WordPress, showing a 500 internal server error. Kindly find some solution so I can help those engineers.
Best wishes

Hello,
We run a multisite with a primary parent domain (Changecreaetor.com) and our members site which is the sub-domain (changecreator.com/members).
We are using the Boss Theme with Buddy Press running the most up-to-date version of WordPress.
When a new user is created, they automatically show up on the front end. HOWEVER, when we delete a member from the “users” section on the backend of WordPress, the member still shows on the front end in the members listing on the widget or members page.
We test the deactivation of the theme and plugin (boss for learndash) but the problem still persisted.
The Boss theme support team suggested it was a Buddypress Core issue.
We have not modified core files and dont have custom Php.
We are running Buddypress 4.1.0
Our host is WPengine
Any help figuring out how we can make sure that when we delete a user from the backend that it is also removed from the front end would be very helpful.
This is important as we create test accounts and then cannot remove them.
Unfortunately there’s not a before save hook for this, only after save. I guess what you could do is wait until it’s saved then validate the password but that sounds like it’s not going to give the desired UI experience. Maybe you could ask for a hook to be added?

Hi there,
It’s not clear from the text exactly what you are looking for but it sounds like you’d need to do some customisation. For a lot of BP functions you only need to be a site members to perform a task and you’d therefore need to work out exactly what you’d like to restrict and then write the code for it. There are some plugins that do aspects of what you are looking for, for example https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/ will prevent standard users from creating groups and I’m currently working on a plugin to restrict messaging for users. For bbPress forums you could set the new user role to Spectator to prevent the creation of topics and replies but I think what you are looking for is probably ore granular than this and so will probably need custom code to deliver your vision.
Hi, is there anyone here knows how to remove or Hide Email tab under profile settings the email tab?
I am running the latest version of WordPress and BuddyPress thank you in advance 🙂
Hi Angela,
One way would be to customise the message already shown at the top of the register page. You can do this by creating your own translation of the text shown, and the translation can say what you like.
See this page for details on how you can create the translation:
Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs
Once you have created your translation file (.mo) my suggestion for the best way to add it to your site and manage it is to use WPT Custom Mo File.
A lot of things have changed since BP 2.9.
You may need to update in stages instead of all at once.
You can find all the BP versions here.
I took a look at BuddyPress Like and it looks like it’s far from ready for use, so I think I’d look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/favorites/ instead, you could create a Profile page for the users list of likes and add your weighting based on your criteria.
