> Could it be a problem in the generate button link function ?

It’s possible, but it’s definitely not a problem with BP in the most general sense. I’m looking right now at an installation that is running Twenty Seventeen, and the buttons in question are clickable. It *could* be that you have another plugin that is somehow modifying the markup so…[Read more]

Hi @hlubi – Generally, the sidebar is controlled by the WP theme you’re using. See sidebar.php. You’ll likely need to make your modifications in that file (probably in a child theme, if you’re not already using one).

Exactly what modifications you make depends heavily on how you want the sidebars to differ. If you have a small number of groups,…[Read more]

@willallen83 You’re welcome! Please feel free to report back here – or update the codex page – once you’ve got updated instructions. Good luck!

@852cmd Hm, that string – ‘Error! Please upload Profile Picture’ – doesn’t come from BuddyPress. This should be your clue: whatever code is generating that string is probably also doing the blocking itself. Try searching your codebase – including your theme – for this error message.

When you say “impossible to select”, exactly what does it mean? When you hover over the buttons, does your cursor change (to a hand, for example), or do you see a color change? If not, this could be a CSS issue that’s causing them to appear behind some other element, and thus making them unclickable.

From the screenshot you’ve shared, I don’t see…[Read more]

If you’re fetching user data – like First Name and Last Name – from an external provider like LinkedIn, then you can use that data to concatenate a value for BP’s Name field. This could be done in JS (Name would perhaps be a hidden field, and filled in after the connection had been made to the LinkedIn API). Or it could happen on the server, based…[Read more]

Hi @willallen83 – I’m afraid I haven’t integrated with s2member in many years, so I can’t provide exact advice. But briefly, it appears that the code above is meant to sync the $s2member_fields fields – which I assume are defined somewhere in s2member – to the corresponding members of the $xprofile_fields array. The latter fields are created in…[Read more]

To follow up on @shanebp‘s advice: It sounds like you’re experiencing problems with AJAX requests. AJAX requests are sent to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, so your IP-based whitelist must exclude this URL. If your whitelist is built in PHP, something along the lines of the advice above will work. If it’s built in Apache or at the webserver level, be…[Read more]

Hi @ikipac – Do you mean you want to turn them off here on BuddyPress.org? Or on your specific BuddyPress installation? And by ‘notifications’ do you mean the email notifications, or the messages shown under the blue number near the top-right of the screen?

Email preferences are on the Settings panel of a BP profile. Here on buddypress.org,…[Read more]

Hi @chhayaparikh1963 – Thanks for the post!

I agree that the ability to post from the front end would be a good improvement for BuddyPress. It’s a bit complex to think about how it might be developed for BP itself, since it’s likely that many BP sites will want the feature implemented in different ways: limiting permissions to specific kinds of…[Read more]

Hello @xkotos – Thanks for the post!

I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult to debug this, as users here do not have login credentials for your site.

In any case, it sounds like this is probably an issue with your theme. It appears that you’re running the maxmuseum theme from Themeforest. I suggest reaching out to theme support, as they’re more likely…[Read more]

> I just want to say a big thank you from Boulder, CO. You guys are awesome!

Right back at ya!

It looks likely that the OAuth plugin is the culprit. I have not tested, but it looks like there’s a line in oauth2-provider/library/class-wo-api.php that redirects auth requests to wp_login_url() and tries to guess the proper redirect_to parameter,…[Read more]

Sure, I’m happy to point you in the right direction.

The BuddyPress Custom XProfile Field Type plugin is probably a good one to start with. It uses the BP_XProfile_Field_Type class to register its fields. It even has an existing Datepicker field that you can use as a starting place:…[Read more]

> the form still doesn’t work with or without the avatar upload.

Could you say more about this? By “the form” you mean the *registration* form?

As David suggests above, BP doesn’t allow for avatar upload at the time of registration, at least not out of the box. This suggests to me that you have another plugin (or something in your theme) that i…[Read more]

Ha. Yes, this is an old and annoying issue in WordPress and WP plugins.

That said, we have done extensive work in the past to ensure that quotes are stripped where necessary throughout various interfaces. If you can share more detail about exactly where you’re seeing the slashed content, we may be able to help figure out where things are going…[Read more]

As @shanebp notes, adding the tabs themselves is pretty straightforward. In addition to bp_core_new_nav_item() etc, you might also look into the more all-encompassing BP_Component class. See https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/bp_component/, https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/.

It’s the content…[Read more]

Hi @kevinc4m – The BuddyPress Followers plugin allows users on a multisite installation to follow specific sites: https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers

It sounds like this is not quite what you’re looking for – you want the ability to follow tags/categories, and it doesn’t sound like multisite is part of the equation – but this plugin may…[Read more]

Can you share the format of the “view content” links in the digest emails? (I’m assuming you’re using buddypress-group-email-subscription – let me know if that’s correct.) They should have a redirect_to parameter, but it sounds like it’s not being respected or is being lost somehow.

Are you using any plugins that interfere with the way that WP…[Read more]

Hi @amitrwt – The ‘Start’ and ‘End’ fields in the BP admin settings define the start and end dates of a single datepicker. That is, if you want to have a datepicker, but you only want to show dates between the years 1970 and 1990, you’d use those dates as the Start and End.

If you want your users to be able to select start and end times, my best…[Read more]

Hi @mycraze – It sounds as something is failing to load the jquery-cookie script. BP attempts to do it in the function bp_core_register_common_scripts(): https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-core/bp-core-cssjs.php?marks=54#L18

The first thing to check is to see whether the page is attempting to load the script in the…[Read more]
