@vivekmathur1969 you can migrate site or upgrade to VPS anytime just like regular WordPress website migration.
Hi, I’m even newbier (?) than @cvtbrian in that I’m just starting up with a brand new community (ie zero traffic), and plan to use Buddypress + Woocommerce, plus maybe 20-25 other plugins. I was planning to sign up for Managed WordPress hosting by Godaddy, but then i read in the BP codex/ getting started that “WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts (fantastico, softalicious, etc.)which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated” – and apparently teh managed hosting doesnt allow that, so the Godaddy rep told me then i need to look at Linux hosting.
Has anyone tried BP with Godaddy Managed hosting, and would it be okay to start with shared hosting considering traffic will be very low initially (but BP+WC+plugins would need to work reasonably fast)?
If i take shared hosting now, will it be easy to move to VPS later as traffic increases?
thanks a ton for any inputs!
@lunarayven You can check following codes and use them with Snippet plugin
Change “Activity” component’s name and slug to something else.
Other references of “activity” string at the frontend can be translated using Loco Translate
On my test system, posting that into activity does not result in an embedded video, just a link to the video. BuddyPress does not handle video and in order to have it embed then something else is running in order to do that. It could be WordPress itself as it has embed functionality but looking at the CSS of the embedded video on your site it does not look like WordPress, it looks like there’s a plugin doing it.
Your issue is specific to your installation. And nobody will register on your site so that they can see
the page in question.
Given that you are using Avada and the Shortcodes for Buddypress plugin – there is very little chance that anyone here can help you.
> … list the groups to this page within the setting …
Sounds like an issue with Avada > BuddyPress
For that page, rather than use Avada to build the page, you may need to create a page and assign a hand-coded template to it.
There is lots of info on how to do that.
For example: https://ithemes.com/tutorials/applying-wordpress-page-template/
Do not ever – EVER – post your admin credentials on a public web page.
[ Would you hand a copy of your house keys to ‘x’ number of random strangers you pass on the street ? ]
I have removed the credentials and replaced them with the error message that you are seeing.
I don’t have a solution to your issue.
I suspect the BuddyPress prompt to reset the permalinks is a symptom of an WordPress issue in your installation.
You might try asking on the https://wordpress.org/support/ forums.
@sanusalim If you have added register page as a menu, you can hide using https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/ via menu specific option.
Make sure you have disabled “Anyone can Register” from Setting >> General

I need to have the default page id ON, cuz all my images, and alot of pages with plugins brokes if i use other option. Isn’t there anyway buddypress to work with page id actived? That’s the default option for wordpress, i don’t know why it’s not working with it.
Did you ask LearnDash re whether they have tested with the latest BP?
Did you try switching to a WP theme like 2017 to see if the issue is in your preferred theme?
Did you examine your error logs?
Did you try using WP_Debug ?

I want all profile fields to be visible on my site. So I want to remove the subnav Settings > Profile Visibility.
I have added below command into bp-custom.php but it does not work.
function bpfr_hide_visibility_tab() {
if( bp_is_active( ‘xprofile’ ) )
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( ‘settings’, ‘profile’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_ready’, ‘bpfr_hide_visibility_tab’ );
Something has changed probably because the conversation I found about this issue is two years old.
Could you please let me know updated command that I have to use ?
WordPress: 5.0.3–sk_SK
BuddyPress: 4.1.0

Thank you,

Have you tried using wpautop ?
You have the id of that member: $friendship->friend_user_id
Getting the name is done via WP functions.
For example: get_userdata
Thanks all!
Update: So I may have been a bit hasty. WooCommerce kindly did a test, and like @shanebp was also unable to replicate the results of the issue with friend requests not accepting.
Despite infinite load I was experiencing, I could right click the “accept” or “refuse” button with a friend request, & copy the URL that indicated the nonce and open it in a new tab and then it would accept/refuse the friend request.
After scouring for hours and hours through different *old* threads regarding similar issues I did discover a few individuals that seemed to have the same issue, but there was no resolution presented. I figured that there were several people, then (at that time) having the issue, and if it’s just me having the issue now – perhaps, it was something wrong with my copy of BuddyPress…
So, I finally decided to delete my installation of Buddypress directly through sFTP and reinstall a clean copy of it from https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/ directly back to the sFTP. I guess that was the solution.
I am still unsure what the issue was, or why it was (at least on my installation) causing this error.
However, I am now pleased to report that the issue is resolved and that I am able to accept friend requests.
Thus it merely appeared that it was WooCommerce because this was the plugin that seemed to trigger the infinite load when I was doing disable plugin testing to see where conflict appeared.
Thanks again!
BuddyPress does not handle payments or paywalls.
You’ll need a paid membership plugin.
There are some free ones in the WP plugin repo that you could try out.
So, your question is not really about BuddyPress.
Ultimately the decision on how / what to implement will depend on your research and the specifics of your project.
I’ve just looked at a test server and I’m getting the same issue. If I edit the profile I can see the extra tab and edit the profile fields it contains, but when I view the profile it only shows the Base profile group.
Would you mind rasing this as a bug on trac?
You should raise this as a feature request on BuddyPress Trac
Hi there,
You are going to have to troubleshoot this issue as it’s specific to your site and not something that’s a more general problem.
The first thing t do is to deactivate all plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if the friends lists are correct. If not then try a default theme such as 2016 to see if that corrects it.
It’s also worth turning on error logging in wp-config.php https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
Once you have enabled debugging, any errors will be logged to your debug log, you can get error log viewer plugins to make viewing it easier. Try viewing the friends list and then reviewing the log to see if any errors are being generated.
Hi there,
Two things to check:
1. Have you linked the pages to BuddyPress in Settings/BuddyPress/Pages?
2. Have you changed your permalink settings to be anything other than the WordPress Default?
It sounds like you introduced an error.
Probably easy to fix…
Check your php error logs.
You may need to turn on wordpress debug so that any error message is captured.
Lazy load will really speeds up a site, so it’s important to us. LiteSpeed Cache has image lazy loading which is compatible with the BuddyPress avatar uploading feature:

Hello,
Hoping someone might be able to help me. I’m not able to get the avatar upload feature to work on any of my sites, it does the same thing on all of them, shows a small black box where the image uploads into and then only allows to crop a tiny part of the image resulting in very bad looking corner of an avatar.. Any help would be very much appreciated.
One of the pages I have the error on is: http://dev-greentv.pantheonsite.io/members/jaymcdonough/profile/change-avatar/ feel free to sign up to see the error on the profile that is created.
I’m using WordPress 5.0.2 and BuddyPress 4.1.0
