I wasn’t being rude just stating a fact and you need to understand this is not the place for sarcasm. If you want fun and games then go to a circus or fair.

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@destac
Sarcasm will not get you far on this forum so how do you figure you can fire anyone being that this forum is volunteer based? If you would like to hire a pro then post it on the jobs board here: https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/
or here: http://jobs.wordpress.net/https://buddypress.org/support/reply/228048/edit/ Then you can be more demanding because you are paying someone to fix your issues.
If you expect volunteer help from here then I suggest that you refrain from using sarcastic remarks on the forums otherwise you may push people away from helping you because nobody likes a smart a** and if you are so smart then you can fix your own problems! Happy Halloween!

Probably the best thing to is ask the plugin author for support on the plugins support forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-wall

@danbp
I think it is easy to assume at this juncture that very few folks use the search function here before posting a thread. Maybe a super sticky topic that lets people know to search before they post is due because it gets monotonous to repeat yourself over and over when all a user would have had to done is a quick search. Maybe you can make this happen? 🙂

@dwsowash @henrywright
Not sure why my code is getting stripped here now as I used the code tag in the editor but to support what henry suggested you can find snippets here:

A few dynamic link examples

Maybe what you need or maybe not.

@dromicus
Not be be short with you but I don’t care to much for typing long replies anymore but if you go to https://bbpress.org/ and read the documentation you should be able to answer most of your own questions. There are also plenty of plugins to extend bbPress so you can explore that option as well if needed. Good luck!

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@dromicus
BuddyPress is for the social networking components and does not provide forums without an additional plugin. You will need bbPress which is for forums and it does integrate with BuddyPress.

A child theme is something you create that can inherit styles, functions, layout, etc. from the parent theme you use. You have to be using some sort of theme now so you would make a child theme that inherits from a parent theme and you can make your customizations in the child theme. This way your customizations are not overwritten when you update the parent theme. Please review:

@focallocal
If your permalinks haven’t been changed since installing BuddyPress you should see a reminder in the dashboard near the top of the dashboards page that displays the notice that the permalinks need to be changed to something other than default for BuddyPress to work properly.

Maybe you overlooked it but Firefox does have built in developer tools in the menu under Tools/Web Developer but firebug is a great and more user friendly.

@flickchicks
You could always copy and paste the terms of service from one of the big social networks and modify it to suit your needs. You may want to rework it a bit though because I am not certain if this would infringe on a copyright.

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@lolapentagrom
I would start troubleshooting by deactivating Buddypress multilingual 1.5 and WPML 3.1.7.2
and testing registration against each one as you reactivate them. I would venture to say one or both of these two plugins is likely causing your registration issue.

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@ahd904
Sorry to inform you but I don’t think it is possible without some major coding involved!

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@gio91 @shanebp
The name of the plugin would lead one to believe this is a premium plugin but from what I can gather it is free on the WP plugin repo here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/.
@gio91
You may want to contact the plugin author on their support forum here and follow shane’s advice about hooks:

Not sure if this is exactly what you need and I didn’t test it but you can try it out:

<?php
function my_redirecter() {
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() && !is_home() )
	{
        wp_redirect( home_url() );
		exit();
    }
	else
	{
	}
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_redirecter' );
?>

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

1.) For invites try: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/
To keep logged out visitors from accessing BP pages check out: http://bphelpblog.wordpress.com/2014/09/27/private-bp-pages/
Usernames can’t be changed and if you don’t want users changing their password you would need to custom code it unless you can find a code snippet on the forum or on the net.
2.) You can use filters and you can also try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/
3.) Use bbPress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/
You will have to search the plugins directory, the forums, and google the rest for your requirements unless someone else would like to take over where I left off. Hope this is at least a start. Good luck!

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@sanz112
Short answer is you will need multiple plugins as well as some custom code to achieve your requirements. If you do enough research you may find the plugins and some code you can use to help in your endeavor on and off this forum. If you can’t write code or invest the time in doing the research to fulfill your requirements then you will most likely have to hire a developer by posting here:

BP Jobs Board

as well as here:
http://jobs.wordpress.net/
I wouldn’t make the mistake of posting an unpaid job on the latter link because I personally wouldn’t waste my time without being compensated for my work but maybe you may get lucky.
You also requested:

if u are not logged in u cannot see the platform.

I do offer premium plugins that can help with this aspect and if your interested you can inquire here:

Good luck!

@sanz112
Just because it hasn’t been updated doesn’t mean its not compatible. This works for me with the latest WP/BP versions.

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@0901091-1
Untested but you can try this:

<?php
function my_redirecter() {
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_register_page() )
	{
        wp_redirect( home_url() . '/register/');
		exit();
    }
	else
	{
	}
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_redirecter' );
?>

Not sure what you wanted to do with the else so I left it there.

@struth
Since activating twentyfourteen resolved your issue then it is an issue with your original theme. You may want to check out that themes functions.php and see if there is maybe a function that hooked into the members-loop.php but then again it may be something else all together.

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@struth
Have you altered the members-loop.php in any way directly or via a function that hooks into it?
\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php
If not have you tried activating different themes such as twentyfourteen to see if the issue persists?

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@caesarhills
Have you tried deactivating all plugins other than buddypress and activating a known theme that works well with BP like twenty fourteen? Sometimes plugins and themes can cause issues with the activation email. If that resolves the issue then you will know it was a faulty plugin or theme.

[@bphelp Participant 12 years ago]

@caesarhills
Have your test users checked the spam folder in their email because sometimes it goes there. You may also want to check your servers error logs as well.
