I have a plugin, you can see it here:
Add Profile Data To The Members Directory

[@bphelp Participant 13 years ago]

@dexter86re
I don’t see the users name twice in the head. Maybe you need to press ctrl+F5 to refresh. This really isn’t a BuddyPress issue, as I only see bbPress is installed.

@dexter86re
username: guest
password: guest
Does not work for login. Try again!

[@bphelp Participant 13 years ago]

@dexter86re
If this requires being logged in you would also need to set up a guest account and supply the login credentials as well.

[@bphelp Participant 13 years ago]

@cc-cailin
By default if the field is not filled out it should not be showing on the profile page unless you introduced some code to alter that behavior.

@postmarkj
It will always help to mention your using multisite when requesting support! In that case you need to go to Network Admin/Dashboard/Settings/Network Settings and to the right of registration settings check “Registration is disabled.”

[@bphelp Participant 13 years ago]

@postmarkj
Have you went to dashboard/settings/general and unchecked “Anyone can register” to the right of Membership? Remember BP is a WP plugin and if you disable WP registration, you also disable BP registration.

This topic is almost a year and a half old. Please create your own topic. Be detailed in your requirement and you will likely get more responses! Good luck!

@tayenewm
The only certain way to find out if the theme is causing registration issue’s is to activate a known theme that works with BuddyPress like twenty twelve, or bp-befault and test it against registration and activation. If the issue is resolved after switching to one of these themes, then it is a theme issue and you would have to get support from that themes support forum should you choose to use it. Sometimes it is best to use a bare minimal theme when working with BP as the more code introduced by a heavy theme may have adverse issue’s when dealing with BP registration and activation. If you are familiar with the codex please review:

Please start your own topic. This thread is over a year old, plus the topic author has not been around for a good while on the forums so the likely hood that they will respond is slim. You will get better responses if you start your own topic. Good luck!

@3rdaxis
Glad I could help! Good luck with your BuddyPress site! 🙂

[@bphelp Participant 13 years, 1 month ago]

@3rdaxis
The problem is it would require that the username the user entered in the profile field to match their twitter id exactly. If not it may take them to god knows where. Anyway, this is untested but you can give it a whirl!

<?php 
    if ( $string = xprofile_get_field_data( 'BIO', get_the_author_meta('ID') ) ) { ?>
       <a href="https://twitter.com/<?php echo get_the_author_meta('display_name'); ?>" target="_blank">Twitter:&nbsp<?php echo $string; ?></a> <?php
    }
?>

[@bphelp Participant 13 years, 1 month ago]

Or:

<?php 
    if ( $string = xprofile_get_field_data( 'BIO', get_the_author_meta('ID') ) ) { ?>
       <a href="https://twitter.com/USERNAME" target="_blank">Twitter:&nbsp<?php echo $string; ?></a> <?php
    }
?>

[@bphelp Participant 13 years, 1 month ago]

@3rdaxis
Untested but maybe something like this would work, in this example you would need to change “USERNAME” at the end of the URL to the persons twitter name. To get other URL’s to work you should just change the URL etc.

<?php 
    if ( $string = xprofile_get_field_data( 'BIO', get_the_author_meta('ID') ) ) { ?>
       <a href="https://twitter.com/USERNAME" target="_blank" alt="twitter"><?php echo $string; ?></a> <?php
    }
?>

As @henrywright-1 already stated “Replace BIO with your field name.”

@fel3000
Friends page is for current friends not potential friends. Logically it would not make any sense to have an “Add Friend” button in there because if they was already your friend they would be listed.

@chur74
Don’t you suppose that would be a clear violation of any privacy policy?
This could probably be done but ethically I think it is a bad idea. You could probably hire a developer that could do this for you, but I would warn of the legalities involved. “Just because you own a business does not give you the right to put hidden cameras in the bath room and watch.” I hope you see my point! Anyway, good luck!

@pelaso
It is really only so much we can do with the info provided, and as @hnla stated it is a guess as to what could be wrong. Maybe you should consider hiring a developer. If you decide too then you can leave your job and contact info here:

As well as here:

Good luck!

What have you set as your front page? Links are always helpful!

[@bphelp Participant 13 years, 1 month ago]

@pelaso
Have you checked for some type of redirect in bp-custom.php or in the themes functions.php?

[@bphelp Participant 13 years, 1 month ago]

@chur74
Can you be more clear of what your requirement is please?

[@bphelp Participant 13 years, 1 month ago]

@tse11
If the code above doesn’t work try this one because I just noticed you had mentioned multisite.

function bphelp_redirect() {
  if( is_user_logged_in() && is_multisite() && is_super_admin && is_home) {
    // redirect to dashboard code
    bp_core_redirect( get_option( 'home' ) . '/wp-admin/' );
  }else {
      if( is_user_loggedin() && is_multisite() && !is_super_admin  && is_home) {
    // redirect to activity code
    bp_core_redirect( get_option( 'home' ) . '/activity/' );
      }
   }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bphelp_redirect', 1 );

[@bphelp Participant 13 years, 1 month ago]

@tse11
Patience please! Deactivate the plugin you was using for redirecting and try this in bp-custom.php https://codex.buddypress.org/plugin-development/bp-custom-php/ :

function bphelp_redirect() {
  if( is_user_logged_in() && is_super_admin && is_home) {
    // redirect to dashboard code
    bp_core_redirect( get_option( 'home' ) . '/wp-admin/' );
  }else {
      if( is_user_loggedin() && !is_super_admin  && is_home) {
    // redirect to activity code
    bp_core_redirect( get_option( 'home' ) . '/activity/' );
      }
   }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bphelp_redirect', 1 );

[@bphelp Participant 13 years, 1 month ago]

@tse11
Search the forum. This has been covered before! You could create a conditional to do this. Basically an if and else statement. You would need to include is_super_admin in the conditional check and the user would be redirected appropriately. For instance:

function bphelp_redirect() {
  if( is_user_logged_in() && is_super_admin ) {
    // redirect to dashboard code
  }else {
      if( is_user_loggedin() && !is_super_admin ) {
    // redirect to activity code
      }
   }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bphelp_redirect', 1 );

This would go in bp-custom.php:

You would not see the button on your own members directory listing. Have you tried creating a test user and logging in to see if the button is there? I am for hire if you need help and you can contact me here if you have a budget to work with.
