Amazing and simple tutorial. Took just over an hour to follow everything and complete the tasks. Thank you so much for this!

Such an amazing in depth video for freelancers and wordpress developers. In just 30 minutes you made me master of buddypress that seemed to be something only professionals could do. You are Guru definitely worth a Like on this video!

at 7:42 minute, i am not showing that buddypress option under appearance>themes>addnew>feauture filters.... solution??? :(

Bless you man! I was starting to freak out because I had no idea what was going on and you saved my life! Thank you so much!

You are "the My favorite WordPress Teacher..! "Thank you so much...!

Wowee, that's a well presented and very informative video. Well done! For the sake of clarity, may I suggest that in future videos, you make your profile one colour and George's another. That way we can see what profile we're looking at. Great work!

That was a GREAT Tutorial. I've been struggling with Buddypress and part of the info you shared took me over a huge hurdle. I can't thank you enough, but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Very kind and sweet of you to take time to do this video for us. Thank you.

Thanks sooo very much for this easy to understand video. You have helped open up endless possibilities for collaboration with like hearted souls across the planet. Doesn't that feel wonderful!?

Hello, thank you very much for the video. It is very helpful. I'm a beginner with web design. I already have divi installed and want to create my own social network. I read that buddy press is very good for that but that it does not work very well with divi. What do you recommend so that I can create my own social network?

Hello Thanks for your very clear explanation.:-) But I still have a couple of problems when I install the plugin buddypress. The first is: After I have installed buddypress on a clean install of Wordpress, there is a problem with the confiuration of Pages. The first three pages - Members, Activities and groups are created by buddypress, but the Pages Register and Activate NOT. Even if I then create those pages again myself. Those two pages both link to my homepage. And I do have enabled the option in general settings that - anyone can register Yes, I can choose the "Register & Activate pages" that have been created by buddypress, but if I want to view those pages then I will come to both of them on the Homepage, with no extra functionality created by buddypress to register or activate !! Maybe those pages have been created somewhere, but I can't find them, select them or let new members link to those pages :-( Second is: That I dont have any BuddyPress tab when adding menus, or can I choose that in the screen options, as you demonstrate in this video for the Login and Logout Menu. So it looks like there is something missing in my buddypress install. I do not know what I am doing wrong or still have to adjust to have these two pages made by buddypress ?? Hope you can help me out with this. Thanks Rob

Very clear instruction. Do you know if the public messages button/option can be removed? Hence only allow private messages. Thanks!

thank you so much! greetings from Germany

What a great presentation! Thia is how good teaching should be done. Thanks

Thank you for this valuable video. It works! I had difficulties with the login and logout, but it works now. However, I don't see the menu/sidebar like you show in your video. I did put all the Buddypress widgets in the left sidebar and set the sidebar visible to the applicable pages. Still doesn't show the sidebar. Do you have any idea how to solve this?

Thank you! But can this plugin allows to create two different users and establish a seamless communication ?

I don't see a BuddyPress menu option. can someone help, please?

Hi! Great tutorial! I want my users to be able to upload videos of external links and engage around them. I prefer they can share external link videos (youtube/vimeo/dailymotion/etc) and not upload as i am limited on supporting so much storage and all the risks involved. How can i do so? is there an enhancement inside Buddypress or you know about some other Free plugin that integrates with buddypress? Thank you so much!

Very Good work =Please Keep doing more. May God Bless You with Happy Long Long Life.

just added buddypress to a site. Half of the pages are missing..notifications, friends etc. Can you do an updated video for 2019?

Love your work as always! I am in the making of my forum via wpforo in combination with Buddypress. I watched a tutorial, but it didn't get into depth and completely didn't touch buddypress....So my question is, can you PLEASEEEEE make a full tutorial of making a forum with wpforo in combination with Buddypress? Wpforo seems to become more popular and if you will make it, please say when you are working on a buddpress setting or wpforo setting so I know the difference between the 2.

Thanks for the tutorial, with buddyboss can I enable the user to schedule their posts on my social platform?

Really amazing explaibation, please add a part where you show how to insert images and attachments in feed, ive done it using rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress plugin. please add this part for future viewers... Thank You So Much For Your Help.

hi there, I do have a question when watching your buddypress video on the youtube. When I follow you steps to create the pages on my site, there is no buddypress components on my page. So could you please advise? thanks for your tutorial!

appearence>menus buddypress menus aren't showing

Excellent tutorial Bjorn, really got me up and running! Thanks.

I apologize if this is already been asked. but I was at the part of adding the menus and it doesn't show up. I assume there are certain themes to use. which one is best for buddy press

Two questions: First, is there a way to set up a more traditional web forum that is closer to threads, topics, and designated places for specific topics of discussion? I was told this is BuddyPress but I can't get that to work at all. Second, I am not able to remove my sales products widget from the social media portion of the site. Ideas? I'm trying to "Hide on checked pages" and selecting all social media pages, but won't remove. Ideas?

This is a really good video. I do have a question, though. At around the 6:56 mark of the video, when you post your update on the Activity feed, I am getting a "User Account not activated" message, even though when I did my first test case, I inputted the string of characters, and it apparently accepted that. Is there something I need to revisit or reset to get this to function correctly? I am using the "Customify" theme.

I know this video is old, but had a question for you. Is it possible to assign accessibility to a normal WordPress Page, Post, or Media File based on Buddypress Groups (or some other accessibility right) of Buddypress? For example, create or update a Page, Post, or Media File so that only Users who have access to a Buddypress Group? -Thanks

ive seen a few diferent wordpress tutorials on youtube and I like how detailed you are about showing people how to do something. this is my first video I have watched of yours and I am looking forward to others!!!!!! :)

So I have noticed with the latest versions of WordPress and BuddyPress (as of Feb 28, 2021) the navigation links no longer work. I believe something has changed with the default URLs in BuddyPress becasue no data is ever entered in. So every page (except Logout and Login) actually work. There is no documentation that I could locate on how to correct this. I have looked at the status bar on my browser for the path the links are set to. On my local test server it is IPAddress/social/members/USERNAME/PAGE Yes my server is properly configured because every other website I test works without issue. This is only happening with BuddyPress. As an aside, this issue I am facing has nothing to do with the permalinks built into WordPress because I have changed them. Also when you do change a permalink you are suppose to update the hidden .htaccess with the code given (unless permissions are set to change it for you). I have to admit this is very annoying as I have already spent nearly 30 hours in the past couple of days trying to solve this issue. I have no idea what files in BP handle the URL paths, if I did I'd make the changes. In closing. RTFM or WTFV (watch the BLANK video) does NOT help whatsoever due to the fact that there is no topic in forums, configuration guides or KZfaq that talks about this very issue in detail.

I am working on creating a social media platform by buddypress, but I have a problem, how do I allow the customer to schedule his post, is there a WordPress plugin that schedules posts.

Question - Users / Role - I am only getting the 5 standard roles. How do I get the list for Moderator, etc like you have in the video? Do I need to add another plug-in? Currently using BuddyPress 2.9.3 with Vantage 1.7.3 Theme.

Hello, to get multi language website with buddypress what is the best structure : wpmu or mono-site? thanks

I do not see a way to upload a profile picture. I do not have that option. I can change my cover photo, but there is just gray space where the profile picture option should be. Any idea why this could be happening?

Does Buddypress have the capability for each member to be able to write blog posts that other members can read/comment on? My main purpose to set up a membership site is basically for a social blogging site.

Hi Mate, you have explained very well on all features? I don't know why but I don't find list of all members in latest version? Can you tell me what should I do see members list? any specific change in backend?

Thank You, Bjorn, I am the Admin for a local HomeOwners' Association and I can see where this could be very useful to open up communication. Is there a way to put the big BuddyPress menu into a particular area so the website isn't overrun with menu items. I am thinking that a secondary menu placed on a particular page labeled "Forum" to have access to the BuddyPress Information? Does that make sense?

Hi Mr. Bjorn.. you are a great tutor... its quite simple.... Just 1 issue . You have created separate screens for registration(Along with some extra tabs) and Buddypress menu options. I am no able to create a separate login ( At 15:18) ,plz guide

Thank you very much for this tutorial. Can you please advise how to create a forum that is NOT a part of the main menu? E.g. to appear on domain.com/forum ?

Wow, wonderful. One Question: Can we limit the time online for members? Like after half an hour they get logged out. Trying to make for kids 😄

Great video my friend. Thank you.

Thanks, great video. Just wondering what would make the Members page not showing the members. Cheers

Thank you for this Bjorn, but do you know how to remove that sidebar? I'm so frustrated trying to figure out how to remove that top title bar and the side archive bar

Do Buddypress forums allow in-line or '@' responses so it is clear which post you are responding to? Or is it just 'add to the bottom' like Google Groups? Also, when you log in, does it show you how many unread posts you have? Thank you for your help.

Hi Buddy, I assume things have changed for the menu feature in the new BP, I followed all the way through but no BuddyPress menu now in the drop downs any suggestions???

He Bjorn, thanks for this tutorial. Great content! I want to use buddypress together with my membership site, build with Simple Press. I don't want my members to again have to sign up or have two different login's. How would you suggest to solve this? Thanks so much.

I have some problem in using buddypress in my website, would you please advise me how can I solve this problem. When I click "personal message" button the composer is not shown.

Hi, do you have a video on subscriber using partial payments with points and money to purchase? Using buddypress and woocommerce. myCred didnt seem to support partial payment, so im not sure how to go about it. Thanks!

Hi, I'm starting up a website and have been trying out themes with Buddypress and thought that the new WP-twenty twenty theme would be nice, but it isn't... am I doing something wrong or is it just not made for it?

Hi, great work. About choosing theme for BuddyPress. I do not see the same filter from Wordpress.com. Basically, there is no such a filter. In Wordpress.com, after pressing "Themes" button. There is "Feature", and no mention about BuddyPress in any themes or menu. Do I need to do this in other website or? Thanks. Barry

Hi There. My Buddy press didnt show pages such as profile, friends, settings. I only have activate, register, group and members.

Is wordpress able to be used on a tablet what if you don't have a computer or laptop then what ? Now days People are using mobile devices not everyone can afford to buy a computer or laptop and they rely on their tablet and smartphones. I normally go to the library and use the computer that's how I started designing websites but covid-19 messed all that up plus their computers are blocked from downloading anything to it. Libraries monitoring the use of their computers and there's only so much business you can do and get done at the library , I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 smartphone and my tablet is a Samsung Galaxy tab A will my Samsung Galaxy tab A allow me to create a social media website like Facebook using buddy press?

is there a way to use the Divi builder for my buddypress pages i want them to look the same as my other pages

Greetings! On our WP website, we have a custom "sign-up" form that users must complete (that creates a wp account for our website) and is necessary to access some of the educational resources on our website. We have integrated this custom form with MailChimp, as well as with Salesforce via MySQL and Zapier. Is it possible to use Buddypress in a way that it easy and clear for users to tell the difference between where they go to the create account/login for accessing special resources on website from the registration and login to Buddypress? Our goal is to create an online forum/thought exchange for different follower groups, i.e., Alumni of our graduate programs, participants of our online Solutionary Micro-credential Program for teachers (sliding scale to free for access for all), and for other teachers who are working on implementing IHE's solutionary framework in their classrooms, and others. We want the two to be separate because through our custom 'sign-up' form, users are signing up for our enewsletter, blog, as well as downloading free resources. Is Buddypress the right plug-in for our set-up? Could we add something like "online forum communities" to our navigation/menu? Thanks for your input!

I am sorry for not being specific. My bad. I was referring to "featured filter" while changing the buddypress theme. It is mentioned at 07:41 in the video.??????

Do you have a tutorial on creating a custom login using CSS and also does the TOP WP admin BAR disappear for subscribers, or would I need CSS or plugin for that as well. I would like the admin to see TOP BAR but not subscribers. Thanks Bjorn, Herman!

What is the theme you are using? I pretty like it.

I've done everything you said here, it all worked nicely, but my users have problem with activating site, after they click the link it redirects them to a an activate page saying" paste activation key" and the email they get is a link not a key. Isn't the link suppose to automatically activate the account

For some reason, I don't have the BuddyPress option under the feature filter place in the themes sections. Anybody know why that could be?

hi Bjorn, i love your tutorials and i really learned from it, thank you. i am a newbie so bear with me. is there a way i can create a separate blog post page that is social network page...all in one website. thank you

I'm using the 2022 version, but I don't see Buddypress under Theme. How do I switch the theme in version 2022?

So wouldn't this be easier if we used elementor? Are there any tutorials that use elementor to customize the pages?

This buddypress plugging takes the members to the WP dashboard board

Do you also have the ability to include a "like button" to the posts/activities, just like other social media ?

Great tutorial...nice to build a community on any topic.

Hello my WP guider! Your videos always surpize me! Thank you very much and keep making tutorials! I have a problem which I can not find the solution. How can I make a registered user upload/create a post in a category that he can choose? Does buddypress do that? Do you have a video for that? How Can I make it? Thank you very much!

5:35 there is no BuddyPress option on the menu, nor any login/register option....as seen on screen

I'm trying to follow this in March 2021. I'm lost at creating a menu and there's no intuitive way to proceed. I like your clear presentation but I'm looking forward to an update.

I was wondering if it’s possible to allow individual users to sell items

Thank you so much for creating such a amazing tutorial.

If i have both BBPress & Buddy Press on my site will users have to log in to each separately?

I made a website and wanted to make it so that specific things appear in activity feeds, such as a new group and stories / articles, but I don't want topics and replies to appear in the feed. How do I go about doing that? I tried using the BuddyPress Activity Filter, but it appears to not work and will not register when I click save. Help!

How many users can a site like this handle at once?

Excellent content!! Hoping to see an updated one on BuddyPress for 2020 ... thanx!

Well presented.Very clear.Thanks

When I send an invitation, this plus the information is in English. Can I change the text

Great video with lots of fantastic content. I've been searching the plugins for something I want to add to my members profiles and that is a box that will allow them to accept donations for support of their page or cause but will also give me the opportunity to also create a bit of a money maker for me and the web site. I had seen where (can't remember where I had seen him) a fellow put together a premade site that had this function.

how do you connect it to the login, register and edit profile pages?

I followed all the steps prescribed in setting up a social network, although the pages showed on my menu, they were all blank, and there was no bbpress menu. Can you please help me?

Thank you the awesome tutorial. Is there a way to restrict what the user can post? Like if I dont want the user to upload videos?

Hi guys can you please help with how i can do the following on buddypress: 1) Add attachments feature and emojis on private messaging 2) Change text on the dashboard tans and elements 3) create different member types eg student and teachers im hoping to archive all the above using free plugins

Hello dear. What is the difference between BuddyPress and BuddyBoss?

The Buddypress Filtering Option For Themes Isn't Showing Up For Me...Help!!

I have carefully followed the instructions to install buddypress. The problem I'm having is with the Register page. It won't won't show in pages when I try to add to menu (yes it is published). I can add the custom link named Register. Wil this still work in the same way? Thank you.

@wordpresstutorials is there anyway that I can place all the features of Buddy Press on one drop down menu on my home page for guests to access? I've been messing with the custom menu plug in, and I just am having a really difficult time figuring out how to set this up correctly. I'd appreciate some help with that, if you can give me a tip. Thank you!

can i change the terminology globally, say instead of "groups", have it be "teams"?

Thank you for this tutorial, it helped me a lot.

hi my registration page is not working , so is member , do i need to create registration form separate ?

Every time you click on a tab (any tab example: activity, profile, notification) the page moves up and then you have to scroll down to click on another tab. Do you know how to resolve it?

What did you do to create your WPdone for you login logo.CSS or just a plugin? Thanks
