hi @matthias70,
once BuddyPress is installed, you have to set pretty permalinks.
Syncing profiles with WP users is also recommended (in BP settings).
If you use a standalone bbpress forum, check also his settings.
Installing Group and Sitewide Forums
Also, question related to bbpress have to be asked on the bbpress support forum
hi @danbp,
I’m using the plugin version of bbpress. And it’s running fine.
I can edit all fields from the backend in the frontend, too under
http://exampample.com/forums/users/USER/edit
In buddypress I can access the users profile and I can set the password and the email notifications
BUT
there is no way to change the “public name” and the “website field” oder the “biographical info”
For editing this, the user has to go to the backend!!!
Thanks
Matthias
I think @azinfiro had the same problems a few month ago.
Seems it is the normal buddypress behavior, not to show the wordpress fields
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/wp-profile-fields-not-editable-in-bp-profile/
This is a bit strange, cause I can change the wordpress fields in bbpress but not in buddypress?!?!
Makes no sense to me!
Thanks
Matthias
Did not find a solution to work it out with the standard wordpress fields.
The only way to go around this problem, was setting up xprofile fields…
BuddyPress was made to extend WP standart profile fields. Normally you haven’t to use WP’s profile fields (aim, jabber, bio, etc) I you need a bio you recreate one.
The only required fields for profiles at the registering level are 4 by WP (username, email, password & pwd confirm) and the Base (field group) Name field which is added by BuddyPress.
If you use bbpres as standalone forum aside BP, you can syncing with wordpress
