No need to get snippy, gee whiz.
The error suggests that you are using a version of WordPress less than 3.0. You say the latest version of 3.0 – what does that mean? The latest version of WP is 3.0.4
Recently installed Buddypress on a new version of WordPress, I used the Buddy press template pack so I could use my own theme.
The only problem I have is I can not create new groups or users, when I fill out the first page for a new group for example, and I click submit it never goes to the second step it just reloads the same page with the fields blank.
I check the database and the information never makes it to the database, does anyone have an answer for this?
The next thing I’d do is deactivate BuddyPress to see if you’re still not getting new user notifications. If you can’t do this on your live site maybe create a test install in a subdirectory. This would help isolate whether it’s a BP or WP thing. You might want to check out the WordPress forums, too – https://wordpress.org/search/new+user+notification?forums=1
Did you ever get these new user notifications? Or is it something that just started happening recently? Maybe it’s a plugin or customization issue specific to your setup.
ok, i installed wordpress, put in buddypress, so ez, so nice!
Nice ends quickly. Trying to add plugs i find many dont work or even come close to explaining how to use them! except for main page I cant have comments or posts for visitors to leave? I could of made a simple static site and not have to put up with all this.. I am not asking for alot, any real dynamic site you see nowdays has it where on every page or post you can leave comments that actually show on the page.. this helps to have the next visitor leave a comment, mabe join the site… its a very simple concept but for the life of me i cant get this engine to do any of this…. oh, i get on main page posts and hidden commments but common.. this engine cant be this big and not be able to do these basic things? what am i missing?
Excerpts usually strip tags and are all in one “chunk”, yes. It’s a basic WordPress themeing issue, not a bp one.
I didn’t knew that wordpress plugins are compatible for buddypress.
If this is the case, why do buddypress has different plugin directory at https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/ ?
To add to what @hnla stated, if it’s about anything you can do before you add BP plugin then try searching on https://codex.wordpress.org/ or just google your question. There is more info out there about WP than you could read in a month.
@Boone
Thanks very much!
Your advice led me here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers
which helped clear up the finer points. And what that mysterious thing I kept ignorning, ‘I18n’, means… 
Hiya, I’m using a wordpress plugin called user locations http://codecanyon.net/item/user-locations/128023 to add location data to all my site users and display it in a google map and I’m having a bit of trouble getting it to work with buddypress.
The plugin adds a field called “location” to the standard wordpress registration form but it doen’t add this field to the buddypress form, are these 2 refernced in different ways? Is there a hook reference or similar that i could update to convert this plugin to buddypress compatible?
Any tip massively appreciated!
And for future reference please check the WordPress Codex pages as they explain how to do this sort of thing very clearly with examples, it isn’t actually a BP issue and therefore not best addressed as a support post here.
based on a surveypoll, thats not a plugin that I have seen yet.
There is a plugin that can invite users to become friends https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/
Hi there,
As the admin on a BuddyPress site (http://www.scotiasurfer.com), I am not receiving not receiving New User Registration emails. In other words, I am not being alerted when someone signs up.
I am using WordPress 3.0.4 and BuddyPress 1.2.7. I do not have multi-site activated.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Reed
Hello,
I would like to set activation link for new registrations and email change to 24 hours instead 2 hours as it is by default.
Pls, any ideas, which configuration, php file ???
Cheers
What version of WordPress are you using?
@abhis2.0
Do a search of the plugin repo… there are lots of them.
There’s an Open ID plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openid/
And there’s this one that allows users to login with credentials from 16 different social networks:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rpx/
I am trying a local install and getting this error – Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_meta()
whenever I try to activate this plugin.
The complete error is `backticks`Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_meta() in wampwwwwordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-forums.php on line 530`backticks`
If i cant install, how do I test ?
I use this little plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/
The description is not really that helpful. basically you can define certain xprofile fields to link directly to external URLs. e.g youtube, facebook, twitter, external website….etc etc
you need to manually alter the .php file in the instruction but this is very simple to do and it comes with a few stock media sites setup already.
Very good and very simple
No, use Transpoosh https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress/
it’s the best translator I have ever seen, it translates everything in buddypress + blog comments 
wp-config.php of your wordpress installation directory. Also bb-config.php in the same directory if you are using forums.
I would like to install and activate Buddy Press for only on website in my network of websites Using WordPress MU.
BUT when I install the Buddy Press plugin and activate the plugin it is Network Activated.
There is no other choice as in most other plugins.
Does anyone know how to install the plugin only only one site or selectivly.
Single site activation in Network Environment.
Thanks
I would recommend a new host that has automatic wordpress install. It’s a breeze, there are several good hosts with this (bluehost, godaddy etc)
So, I am using WishList Member which is a fantastic membership management plugin for WordPress. It’s been working wonderfully for my online course; but being a recent BP convert and seeing a cool BP plugin, ScholarPress, I thought I’d convert the site to a WP/BP site with the added functions in BP.
I’m not certain how the heck I can get the two to work together. Any ideas? Other than moving to this S2 plugin?
