The problem with hooking to bp_complete_signup is that it’s not called from within a template, so your code probably echoes above the entire template stuff. You have to find a hook in the template, and there aren’t really any obvious ones. Here’s one thing you might try (untested): `function postSignup_msg() { if ( ‘completed-confirmation’ == […]

I don’t know of a plugin that could do it, but it’s a nice idea! A couple ways you might go about it: 1) Filter the output of bp_has_groups() to unset those groups that the user is not a mod/admin of. Pro: You could do this pretty easily right now. Con: Not terribly efficient in […]

It sounds like you didn’t run the bbPress setup installer, or that something went wrong during that setup process. Go to Dashboard > BuddyPress > Forum Setup, and click Setup a new bbPress installation. Re-install if it asks you to. If it still doesn’t work, check to make sure there’s a bb-config.php file in the […]

The easiest thing to do is to copy registration/register.php from bp-default into your child theme. Search for the place where Sign Up Complete! appears, and put your additional paragraph after that.

I have to agree that Bowe’s theme does look pretty, uh, slick. His video walkthrough is worth watching: vimeo.com/15053425 (Also not a paid endorsement 🙂 )

For what it’s worth, Paul’s awesome snufflewufflepants patch will make this easier in BP 1.3 https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2649

In the meantime, hnla and Roger’s advice is good.

Hmm, that’s a new one. Sent invite information is stored in a special database table created by the plugin. You might try checking your database to see if they’re there – the table is called wp_bp_invite_anyone (assuming you didn’t change the prefix). I’m not certain what the email plugin would change, since IA calls wp_mail, […]

@pelleas Do you have the Friends component turned on? Dashboard > BuddyPress > Component Setup

It’s up to individual plugin authors to include such a button, since WordPress itself isn’t really aware of the extra databases being created. I agree that it’s good practice for a plugin to include a button like this. But since BP doesn’t have one, it’s pretty simple to just drop the tables in question when […]

(1) and (2) don’t require BuddyPress at all. For (2) you can use a custom post taxonomy or a custom post type (or plain old categories) to distinguish your own articles from your users’ content. As for (3), BuddyPress doesn’t have a rating system built in. There are a lot of WordPress rating plugins, and […]

Avatar upload forms appear in two places. One is registration/register.php, the other is members/single/profile/change-avatar.php. Create a child theme of bp-default (https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) with those two files, and then edit the HTML to your heart’s content.

This sometimes happens if your bb-config.php file is missing or incorrect, and BP can’t find your bbPress database information. The error logs will tell you whether that’s the case.

Try this:
$group = new BP_Groups_Group( $group_id );

$group will then be an object containing the group name and a few other pieces of info. You’ll need to use bp_core_fetch_avatar() to get the avatar.

True.

If you’re talking about comments on blog posts, then yes. You can set this at Dashboard > Settings > Discussion.

If you’re talking about other kinds of “comments”, such as activity updates and forum posts, then no.

I actually learned PHP by doing WP development, so I don’t think you have to do it in that order. But you do have to get real good at Googling, and you have to have a lot of patience combing through source code of other plugins, as @modemlooper suggests, and at the source code of BP […]

If you’re trying to check whether the group id is equal to 14, you’ll want something like this: global $bp; if ( $bp->groups->current_group->id == 14 ) The groupmeta code you are currently using is looking for the existence of a piece of groupmeta with the meta_key ’14’. Is that what you mean to be […]

I’ve done this a few times for clients and I’m getting close to having a solution that’s release-worthy. Might even put it in as a patch for bp-core.

Yes, this is a known issue. We’re working on it.

Yeah, those functions can’t be simply overridden (like the functions in wp-includes/pluggable.php). Your best bet is to do the following: 1) Copy the entire function you want to replace yo your functions.php, and change the function name (to something like custom_directory_members_search_form() ) 2) Make sure that the template file that calls the…[Read more]
