BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress uses a theme compatibility layer, meaning it uses its own templates that are designed to drop into any theme. You can overload all kinds of template parts for BuddyPress:

Template Hierarchy

However, there are plugins (I’ve not tested) that you could maybe get to work if you…[Read more]

This is sort of a big WordPress question that lots of people would like to change, but it’s not that easy. You could try using the plugin Theme My Login, which would need to be applied carefully, as it overlaps with BP a bit. https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/ (I have no idea if this is a good plan, you’ll just have to try it.)

The…[Read more]

There’s no way to do that via shortcode as far as I know, but lots of ways to do it via theme. You could apply a page template to the “members” page to modify what it seen. You could also overload the template at /buddypress/members/single/home. Read more about the template…[Read more]

This is the codex article I was thinking of:

Modifying the Registration Form

Sure, you can add a filter on the bp_get_member_permalink hook and do whatever you wish. The BP member profile is much richer than the the authors page, though–if you’re not using the member profile fully, are you sure you need BuddyPress for your site?

For the second question, use the shortcut link: https://mysite.org/members/me which will…[Read more]

You can save extra things manually on the bp_core_signup_user hook:

But I imagine that the simpler answer would be to use Profile Fields. If you add profile fields to the base group, then they appear on the registration form and are saved at…[Read more]

Hi @paksunny–

#1 can be accomplished by adding this code to you bp-custom.php file (or wherever you keep your customizations): https://gist.github.com/dcavins/c65f3856dd6ed5be37eef115ab09405a

#2 Try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-private-message-for-friends-only/

Thanks for updating your support post (the original post was nice and thorough, too) with a follow-up. Best of luck getting it resolved.

-David

Thanks for the response. i’m glad to hear you were ale to come up with something that worked.

-David

Based on your other forum post, I’m guessing this is also a Buddyforms question, and your best bet is to contact them for support:

Hi @monetek–

Your best bet for support for Buddyforms is to talk to the developers directly. https://themekraft.com/buddyforms/

@dhsllc: Any idea what changed? Was there an update or other change to the site?

@saleaholic: Make sure that the pages exist, check that they’re selected in the BP Settings pane in wp-admin, and, finally, visit the WP Settings > Permalinks screen to make sure your permalink rules are up-to-date. Permalinks are the problem most of the time.

I’ve done something similar in the past that should get you started:

Hi, that’s not possible as far as I know. You could use http://mysite.com/members/me as your site’s home address, though, since it will redirect to a user’s profile if they’re logged in or otherwise present the user with a log in screen, then redirect to their profile.

I’m confused about what you’re trying to do, but if you want to restrict access to forums, then, yes, private groups are an excellent option. First, create a forum in wp-admin, then create a private group. Then, in the group management tab, check the box “Yes, I want this group to have a forum” and select the forum you just created.

Then, only…[Read more]

It sounds like you need to change/update your permalink structure for your WordPress installation. Visit wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks to update.

Looking at the source code, both items make a call to the function bp_is_active(). For profile cover images, the check is
if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile', 'cover_image' ) ) {)

For groups, if ( bp_is_active( 'groups', 'cover_image' ) ) {}.

In both cases, the default is true, so I’d guess that your theme or another plugin is filtering that value,…[Read more]

The user will have to be active in order to be shown in the group. Try logging in as this other user to make that user active.

I’m assuming that you see the user listed in the Manage > Members tab on the group?

I think I finally understand what is going wrong here. If you pass a bad group object to bp_group_has_moderators() or don’t pass a group object and the global $groups_template->group isn’t set, this error can occur.

If you’ve had this problem, can you please respond telling me what theme you’re using? Furthermore, look in your theme where bp_group…[Read more]
