BuddyPress.org

I’d use BuddyPress Docs for this purpose, but I’m a fan of and contributor to that plugin. It’s great for creating organized shared libraries with tags and search ability.

If you’d rather it be more forum-like, use bbPress.

What about using a custom member front page? Then you’d have total flexibility:
Custom Front Pages for your users profiles

Otherwise, I think you could conditionally filter bp_displayed_user_get_front_template to specify members/single/activity.php for self and friends and members/single/profile.php for…[Read more]

Regarding your first question, it appears that your theme is adding marks to your navigation menu. You’ll need to inspect the element to see what rule is causing it, then override it. (Or choose a different theme.)

Regarding your second question, if your theme has a full-width page template, select it for your BuddyPress pages. If it doesn’t…[Read more]

HI @khappamj–

It sounds like you’re overriding the file the right way and at the right location. There must be some other reason the file isn’t being used. I’d try checking the file permissions to make sure that apache can read the file.

Hi @snecz–

Yes, you can filter the starred slug using the bp_get_messages_starred_slug filter. Unfortunately, the ‘sentbox’ slug is not currently customizable.

Here’s an example of how you might filter the starred slug:

add_filter( 'bp_get_messages_starred_slug', 'bp_codex_filter_starred_slug' );
function bp_codex_filter_starred_slug( $slug )…[Read more]

Were you adding the avatar upload to the registration form via some custom code? (I think I’ve seen plugins and such that do that.) It looks like you’ve removed that step for now, so maybe all is well?

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:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.1/src/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php#L1900

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:
https://themekraft.com/buddyforms/

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:
