Hi friends.
I’m using buddypress Version 14.1.0 with the legacy buddypress template, in wordpress (latest version)
Inicio
When I open a group, I see that the <h2> tag with the group admins value
looks too big.
I’ve modified the css as follows:
#item-actions, h2 {
font-size: small;
}
And it looks fine on desktop, but it still looks too big on mobile.
I’ve tried with:
@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
#item-actions, h2 {
font-size: small;
}}
but it doesn’t work.
What could be the reason?
Thank you very much and I look forward to your response.
Hi @capexpe
I believe we’ve improved this part actually in 14.0, see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13936.
You shouldn’t put your custom language into /wp-content/languages/plugins because it will be replaced by the official translation after it has been updated by the Polyglots team.
Custom language files for BuddyPress should be in one of the locations we are looking for:
– /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress
– /wp-content/languages/buddypress
– /wp-content/languages
More informations are available from this documentation page: https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/docs/user/advanced/texts.md
I’ve just tested renaming “Groupes” with “Expé” in custom fr_FR translation files I’ve included in the /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress folder:
– /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress/buddypress-fr_FR.po
– /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress/buddypress-fr_FR.mo
And it’s behaving the way it should, see screenshot below:
@adjunkten I have no idea how Loco translate deals with translation files, but if you put their generated alternative language files at one of the three locations I listed above making sure they respect the WordPress default way of naming these, it should also fix your issue. Here’s the translated message for the “members-only” login page.
I am running a Multisite WordPress website with single network and having over 100+ subsites. I have installed the BuddyPress plugin (not network wide active) and activated it for only two subsites: https://example.com/texas and https://example.com/bayarea.
I want each subsite to show its own business groups, but the /groups/ directory currently displays the same groups for all subsites. For example, if I create a group in the “bayarea” subsite, it is also visible in the “texas” subsite.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Building a site with BuddyPress and the Divi Theme is definitely doable, but there are some compatibility considerations to keep in mind. The Divi Theme Builder is highly versatile, but its compatibility with BuddyPress depends on how BuddyPress structures its pages.
Key Points:
Post Type Compatibility: As the Elegant Themes team mentioned, if BuddyPress uses the default WordPress post type for its pages, you should be able to edit them using the Divi Builder without any issues. BuddyPress typically generates pages using custom post types for specific content like user profiles, activity feeds, etc.
Custom Templates: You might need to create custom templates for BuddyPress pages. Divi allows for a lot of customization, so you can design layouts that suit your needs. However, the integration may require some manual tweaking to ensure everything displays correctly.
Third-Party Plugins: There are third-party plugins that help bridge the gap between BuddyPress and Divi, making it easier to customize BuddyPress pages with the Divi Builder. You might want to explore these if you encounter limitations.
Testing: It would be a good idea to set up a test environment where you can experiment with how BuddyPress and Divi work together, especially when it comes to customizing profile pages and other BuddyPress-specific content.
If anyone in the community has experience with this setup, it would be great to hear your thoughts and any challenges you encountered!

To assign a custom template to your BuddyPress registration page instead of using the standard blog post template, you can follow these steps:
Install a Page Builder: Consider using a page builder like Elementor along with the BuddyBuilder plugin. This combination allows you to create a custom registration template easily.
Create a New Template: Navigate to Templates > Add New in your WordPress dashboard. Choose “BuddyPress” as the template type and select the “Register page.”
Design Your Template: Add the necessary widgets such as “Account Details,” “Profile Details,” and a “Submit Button.” You can also customize the layout to fit your site’s design better.
Set the Template: Once your template is created, ensure it is set as the default for the registration page in the BuddyPress settings.
Test Your Changes: After saving your changes, visit the registration URL to confirm that the new template is applied correctly.
By following these steps, you should be able to assign a custom template to your BuddyPress registration page successfully. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!

The create_function() was deprecated as of PHP 7.2.0 and was removed in 8.0.0 (see create_function). Since you are using PHP 8.x then, it would be best to not use this plugin until it has had all compatibility issues resolved. On another note, there seems to be some interest by individuals other than the original developers to provide some sort of future support for this plugin (see Would like to take over this plugin, or help – Support forum for BuddyPress Follow).
I’ve got a fixed version of this on Buddyuser dot com (The BP Follow page), The other alternative is to look up those errors on Stack Overflow and apply the fixes yourself.
I’ve asked to contribute to the Followers Plugin and have had a positive response, so hopefully, this will be folded into the WordPress Library soonish.
Hello all,
I have hidden myself as an admin, on my test site running buddypress, for obvious reasons. However, I discovered that when composing a message using Buddypress messages, when the user types in a partial name of the recipient, even a single letter, everyone that matches that name will show up, even if they are hidden from the directory. For example, typing “@a” will show “@admin” (me) as well as “@adam” or “@amanda” and this is no good.
Is there a way to remove certain users (ideally by user roles) from showing up in the “to” field?
I have WordPress 6.6.1 and Buddypress 14.0.0.
Thank you
I saw this post and it was ultimately not resolved but I can’t reply to that, so am starting a new post. Skip to the bottom to see my specs.
In that post, it is said that the issue may be due to usernames that have spaces in them.
I set up a test site with Buddypress and some test users. I have 4 test users whose names have spaces in them, like “First Last” as opposed to “FirstLast”. 3 of them cannot access any Buddypress links (such as mydomain.com/members) but 1 can. I can’t figure out how to fix this. I don’t have any redirect rules activated.
I have WordPress 6.6.1 and Buddypress 14.0.0.
Any help is appreciated.
Hello. I needed to fix a problem on my website romancingrarehearts.com. While doing so, I deactivated and reactivated Buddypress. Then I found that most of my pages were gone. Is there a trash bin that I can get them back from? Or are they unretrievable? I’m using theme Twenty Fifteen, buddypress 14.0.0, and WordPress 6.6.1.
It seems like WordPress has taken control over new member registrations.
The membership request must first be approved under WP User – Manage Signups. Once that is done, BP Registration takes over, and an email is sent, and the new user is marked for approval. (As usual)…
Hello
I have wordpress 6.1.1 and buddypress 14.0.0.
Just got the news that people have been trying to jpin the website but they aren’t gettiong the buddypress activation emaiuls.
Please advise. Thank you.
Nevertheless using this old editor isn’t a good approach even they are no current security issues. Better would be, let admins easy use any other editor they want.
To make tinymce 7 work cost me days and sleepless nights. Meanwhile I also found a solution to remove the rich text option and avoid core mods. But I still had to modify kses to prevent WordPress/BP from stripping off my br and p tags afterwards on Tiny 7.
Also, the “security issues” as far as the ticket indicates, are not applicable to the version WordPress uses. Meaning that WordPress is updating to the versions without those issues.
I’m running PHP 8.2, have deactivated all plugins other than BuddyPress, have switched to a default WordPress theme (2023), and have tried BuddyPress 12.2 and 14.0 – and BuddyPress will not send out emails to new members at all.
This includes when they self-register, when admin sends them reminder emails manually, and when registration moderation is used and admin sends them an approval email.
The BuddyPress plug-in itself says that emails are successfully sent, but they do not arrive and (when active) the WP Mail Catcher plugin does not record them as having been sent successfully or having failed: it does not acknowledge them at all.
All other emails from my site work fine when other plugins are active – including 2FA, forgotten passwords and Newsletters. Can anyone suggest what the issue might be, or what next steps I should take to troubleshoot BuddyPress? Thanks.
This was fixed and will be released as part of BuddyPress 14.1. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/14.1.0

Hi there, would you like to open a bug report in trac for this?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
@mike8022 It’s certainly something something that I’ve done, because removing items from search can really hit large servers, it’s a known performance issue. So it’s better to not offer search to the bots, so that you can have a more nuanced approach to search for logged in users, and also for people visiting the site. A bot should not ne using search at all, in fact this is a primary part of a DOS attack, to het WordPress constantly searching for none existent pages. So what I’m thinking for my plugin, is to exclude bots from all searches, to give logged in users full search, and to have controls on what site visitors are able to search for. Included in this is the need to have control over the xml sitemap, and to enable hard rules for exactly what site visitors are allow to search for. Include in this a strategy of honeypots and other traps for those with prying eyes.
bbPress tags seem be a bit of a target, as a lot of the security solutions out there do not cover them. it pretty simple to turn those off for not logged in users, and also to choose to turn them off just for bots I reckon, but it shows a comprehensive approach is needed I reckon, and this DOS attack I’m looking at currently is helping my ideas gel into that comprehensive approach. As I see it, ideally, next time I get an attack, I’ll have a single page allowing me to lock down the entire site if I need to.
@emaralive @vapvarun thank you for the information, I can try editing and looking into other solutions when I get a chance but this one seems like a warranted challenge for the BuddyPress Programming team.
@thinlizzie it might be a waste of time at this point until the code is revised to take into account other CONSTANTS and the issue with high resolution avatars, cover photos and group profile photos getting discarded after upload. On one hand, that is nice to save server resources, but on the other hand, it’s frustrating because the images look lousy. It cheapens the look of BuddyPress to be honest.
The BuddyPress also needs more design customization options especially the social feed, it’s convenient to have it generate the “Social Feed” page automatically but that is causing me trouble. I’d love to be able to put that Social Feed as a WordPress Widget or in a shortcode to embed on any page template I want. This way, I can customize the background, add a custom title or whatever else I want. BuddyPress has a lot of Widgets available but I want the Social Feed as well with customization options.

@thinlizzie No, I didn’t want to include that in the scripting because you can use the regenerate thumbnails plugin for that. Here’s one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/ You can try that plugin on a few images from the media library first and then run it for your whole site if you find it to be successful. Just use caution.
