Hi @theofficialseoguru,

titling a support topic with Help please – How to…. is gentle, but ouf of need on a help forum. And for sure not a waranty to get help.

As you have an understanding problem of php, and a supposed theme issue, it would be very helpfull to give its name and some details where to show the avatar.

Apparently your theme use a custom function à la WordPress to get avatars. And this should work, in theory.

Have you synced wp users with bp in bp’s settings ?
Have you tested with one of wp’s default twenty theme ?

Depending where to show a user avatar, BuddyPress use different code. You can see this on most of the template files stored in /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

On the member header for example; you have bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'type=full' );
There is also a filter: bp_get_member_avatar;
So it really depends where and how you want your avatar… In a loop, outside of a loop, etc

Ah, and when you give a topic example, don’t forget to mention the link.

Except if you want to built an expert community, BuddyPress is not appropriate. This can be done with WordPress and some CPT’s…

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

First of, there is no BP account, it’s a WordPress account with extended information if you use the xprofile component.

When the user is logged in, any information related to him is on his profile, and in fact, this user is then considered a “member” with common user attribute (subscriber, author, and so on).

Now what ? You want a contest page where members can participate.
What do you need on this page ? User information and probably some contest answers.

I don’t see the problem you’re affraid of…. At this stage, a contest page or a group or a forum page is the same thing: a place to execute dynamically something related to a contest, a group or a forum. There is no difference for the (logged in) member itself.
Anything related to him is already on his profile page.

The difficulty, if ever it exist, is to collect the members who belong to the contest and to send the the xprofile form to the federation.

See if ContactForm7 allows you to send such a form, and perhaps create an additionnal profile tabs where you can add your contest credential, so you can easily extract this part and send it by mail.

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

Can I do that via BuddyPress? BP is not a contest plugin, so you have to find another way to achieve this. Maybe using a plugin or create your own.

So far i know, there is this older plugin who may be do the job. No idea if it works with 2.1.1 and how, but give it a try and let hear from you.

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

Try this: if ( bp_has_activities ('per_page=50') )

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

hi @jessicana,

another solution is explained here.

Or you can add a custom action hook to the registration template at a more appropriate place of your choice.

Something like do_action ('jessicana_tos'); and by adding some div’s. Of course you have to use a child-theme to do this.

And in the above function remove last line and replace it by add_action( 'jessicana_tos', 'bpfr_tos_link').

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

@rohitkatke, @rathodsuraj1
sorry to answer this, but here are 25 pages of topics from people having “the same problem”.

If you don’t use X theme, if you don’t use woocommerce and if you don’t use BP 2.0.1, you have NOT the same problem as @jlent14 ! 😉

It seems to be, looks like, but most probably isn’t. And generally, jumping in others topic or old topics is not a good idea on this support forum.

To all readers

When encountering a registration problem, first thing to do is to test your install without any plugins and one of WP’s Twenty default theme. Ensure that your site send correctly emails. Before activating any plugin, your base WP install must work.

Once WP is OK – you can install BuddyPress and check your permalinks. Pretty permalinks must be activated to get the plugin working correctly.

This point is important, especially if you have redirection issues after BP is activated.

Second point to check is your theme installation.

Proceeding like this will help you to isolate easely the culprit. If:
– WP install: OK
– BP install: OK
– theme activation: problem

So you know here the problem comes from.

While testing your install, you can activate wp_debug (set to TRUE) in the wp-config file. This can give you a lot of information about conflict and/or errors.

Just keep in mind that these information have 2 levels of importance: notice and warning.
While notice are generally harmless, warnings should be taken seriously in account and solved.

If WP is the problem, see first the wordPress support
If it’s BuddyPress, see the BP support
If it’s the theme, see the theme support
If it’s any other plugin, see first the plugin support.

Thank you for you attention. 😉

The magic of your idea is that it is a very common idea 😉 But the most stunning thing is that you can modify this wording to absolutely what you want!

Under the hood, BP comes with several component and provides the abality to get them in any foreign language. This is what everybody get, out of the box.

But…

it’s not because it exist, that you have to use it ! And it’s not because it is visible this way, that you can’t use another.

The default wording respond to the most common BP usage, but they are not written in marble. Groups can be books, recipes, friends can be kids or buddy’s… The sky is the limit (beyond the strawberry field…) 😉

Open-source projects like BP are very flexible. What you see is not only what you get, it is (or can be) mostly what you do with it, who create the final magic.

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

Have you tested this one ?

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

Spanish po/mo is only translated to 87% on glotpress and this phrase is actually not translated in the avaible version.

It seems you use wordpress-language plugin, who automatically upload the mo file for you and who probably overides your work.
Deactivate this plugin first, do your translation with poEdit, and add manually by FTP the po/mo files to wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_ES.mo

For more details and answers, read the longest BP topic about language:

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

I double checked the snippet in twenty thirteen functions and also in bp-custom and it works !

– wp 4.0.1 – bp 2.1.1
– font awesome 4.0.1
– font awesome css files in /twentythirteen/css/
– font files in /twentythirteen/font/
– class names are .icon-twitter and .icon-facebook

function bpfr_socialize_profile () {	

echo '<br>'; // don't remove !

if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Twitter' ) ) : 
?>

<a href="http://twitter.com/<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'Twitter', bp_displayed_user_id() );?>/" target="_blank" title="Twitter"><i class="icon-twitter"></i> Twitter</a>&nbsp;

<?php endif;

if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Facebook' ) ) : 
?>

<a href="http://facebook.com/<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'Facebook', bp_displayed_user_id() );?>/" target="_blank" title="Facebook"><i class="icon-facebook"></i> Facebook</a>		

<?php		
endif;
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'bpfr_socialize_profile' );

No, there is no recovery routine for erased user accounts, but…

– you have a recent db backup containing the erased datas (you or your host)
– see your mysql version documentation for “recovery”. In some cases this can work, but don’t expect too much.

User datas (name, email) are in the wp_user table.
Extended profile information are in wp_bp_xprofile_data

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

Can you try this ?
<i class=” icon-facebook-sign icon-large”>

Also if you want a square around the F, you have to use 2 icons as stacked.

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

Try with this plugin:

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

You can add if conditionnals. Read here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/display-users-social-follow-buttons-in-profile/

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

You have to build a correct url !

Give this snippet a try: (add to child theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php)

/* add a menu item to WP Toolbar */

function olala() {
	
global $wp_admin_bar;
   /* check if user is logged in and if friend component is activated */
	if ( is_user_logged_in() || bp_is_active( 'friends' ) ) :
  
   /* building the slug */
		$href = bp_loggedin_user_domain() . '/' . bp_get_friends_slug() . '/';
	endif;

   /* building the menu	*/
	$wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
	'id' => 'myfriends',
	'title' =>  'Friends',
	'href' => $href
	));	
	
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'olala', 100 );

Your po/mo files should be added to this path (create it if it doesn’t exist):

wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-xx_XX.mo (where xx is the lang ISO code) For english, en_EN or en_US…

If you need more details how translation are working, search for “translation” or “language” on the forum.

Be carefull and keep a copy of these files localy ! 😉

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

hi @stixfxentertainment,

you can try this experimental plugin created by @imath
https://github.com/imath/altctrl-public-group

Don’t forget to show the demo video mentionned on that page before installing.

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

Depending the font service you want to use, you have to create a font folder in your child-theme to use it.

In snippet, the CSS code who generate the icon is <i class="icon-facebook"></i>
This code is specific to FontAwesome.

You have to read the documentation of the choosed service to get yours.

If usage is unclear to you, read this tutorial.
