> Why not leave “bp-default” in the theme repository with that note that it is no longer being update?

Yup, we’re going to do this as soon as we figure out how to do it technically without breaking people’s sites 🙂 When it’s in the theme repo, it’ll have the added bonus that it’ll no longer necessarily be the BP core team who’s taking care of…[Read more]

Glad to hear it – good luck, @brucedongcaigmailcom!

@julianprice Thanks for the great feedback. @modemlooper is correct that BP doesn’t have nearly the contributor base of WP, but I agree with you 100% that having a more centralized hub would make it easier for interested parties to become more involved. I’ve already begun talking with the WP team about how we can either copy some of their…[Read more]

@brucedongcaigmailcom Right above // If nothing sticks, load a generic template.

BuddyPress doesn’t have a very straightforward way to add links like this to the Groups menu. By design, the links in the group nav are intended to correspond to sub-pages of the Group (which are created by BP_Group_Extension), rather than arbitrary external links.

That said, while we don’t have a very elegant way of making this happen, you…[Read more]

Just to clarify the future of bp-default a little. It’s not being *abandoned*. It’s just not going to continue to receive new feature updates in the same way that it always has.

I know this can be a bit frustrating for those who have built child themes of bp-default. But the fact is that bp-default is several years old, and was really beginning…[Read more]

Another brief thought: You say that the Register component is linked at Dashboard > Settings > BuddyPress > Pages. But make sure that the linked WordPress page has its status set to Publish.

It’s weird that it’s appearing as blank. This could be the case of a failed redirect.

Make sure that registration is enabled on your site. On Multisite, go to Dashboard > Network Admin > Settings; you’ll see a set of radio buttons where you can select “Users can register” or something like that. On non-Multisite, go to Dashboard > Settings >…[Read more]

The best way to ensure that a part of a template is only visible to a logged-in user who is viewing his own page is like this:

<?php if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) : ?>
This is only visible to users viewing their own profiles
<?php endif; ?>

This is visible to anyone.


@cloudbuilder When you say “the comments”, do you mean *activity* comments? Or do you mean *blog* comments? Or do you mean the entire Activity page, as seems to be suggested by the original poster?

If you’re talking about the author icon on a *blog* post page, then it probably doesn’t have anything to do with BuddyPress – that’s handled by your WordPress theme. In any case, it’s likely that you’ll have to change it in a template file, or at least use CSS.

What theme are you using?

You should be able to convert your existing WordPress site to Multisite. Here’s the page from the WP codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Did this just happen with your upgrade to 1.9.1 from 1.9, or were you upgrading from an earlier version of BP?

You mention you’re not using the regular WP toolbar. What are you using to power the Notifications dropdown from your screenshot? Is it custom coded?

@synaptic Thanks for starting this interesting discussion (and for doing it in a more sensible and measured tone than the linked article).

I agree that the current process for selecting and advancing features is not ideal. It is indeed a shame when a ticket like the CPT one gets punted release after release. I’m not sure that I can *justify* it,…[Read more]

> Nothing to be with BuddyPress or WangGuard (I think…)

I’m guessing that this line is part of wp_redirect(), which sounds like it’s happening because of a canonical redirect. I think you’re right that it’s probably not related, but you might still want to check out what’s causing it.

Let me know how 'bp_include' goes!

There are probably a couple things happening:

1. There is a hardcoded check to is_super_admin() in bp_core_process_spammer_status(). That check would fail during a cron job. BuddyPress should probably separate out the business logic of this function from the permissions checks. This would be appropriate for an enhancement ticket.

2. Certain…[Read more]
