David Cavins replied to the topic How to: Distinguish Woocommerce costumers and BuddyPress members? in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 5 years, 1 month ago
Hi @cviniusj-
It sounds like you are wanting user who register via WooCommerce to appear as members on the members directory in BP. What you’ll have to do is add a
last_activity
meta item for those users when they register, so that BP will include them in user queries. I’m not knowedgable about Woo, but something like this might…[Read more] -
David Cavins replied to the topic I have a bit of a conundrum I'm trying to solve, can you help? in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 5 years, 1 month ago
Hi @tsurf–
That sounds like a big project. You’ll need to work with a knowledgable developer (or become one yourself) to solve it.

David Cavins replied to the topic Send Email reminder to user when user is not responded friendship request in the forum Installing BuddyPress 5 years, 1 month ago
Hi @mon2-
You’d have to write some custom code to add that functionality. (That’s beyond the scope of the support forum.) I’m guessing that you could add a WP Cron job that fetches old friendship requests and send the notifications again, but it would take some work on your part. You can see how the initial request email is sent…[Read more]

David Cavins replied to the topic Activity stream not loading initially in the forum Requests & Feedback 5 years, 1 month ago
Are you using the Legacy or Nouveau template set? If you are using Nouveau, the activity items are loaded via AJAX, so there could be a delay if your server doesn’t respond quickly to the AJAX request, but there should be a box that says “loading the activity items or similar”.
Please also test this problem with a basic theme like TwentyNineteen,…[Read more]

Have you already tried the BuddyPress repair tools? They’re in your WP-admin dashboard > Tools > BuddyPress (at /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bp-tools).

Hi @chrix22–
I don’t think that that is a core BuddyPress screen. Are you adding it via a plugin or the theme you’ve chosen? If so, you’ll need to seek support there.

David Cavins replied to the topic Public Vulnerability notification – false alarm? in the forum Miscellaneous 5 years, 1 month ago
Appears to be a false alarm.
We are using the PHPMailer class that is included in WordPress. In WP latest stable release (5.2.4) the version of PHPMailer is 5.2.22 and in 5.3 it’s 5.2.27. The problematic PHPMailer versions are < 5.2.20.

David Cavins replied to the topic Loop redirection (infinite) in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 5 years, 1 month ago
What should happen is that the user is bounced to
wp-login.php
with the “return_to” address set to the page they were trying to reach.Do you have any other plugins that are managing the login form or handling redirects more generally?

David Cavins replied to the topic Losing first and last name fields in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 5 years, 1 month ago
Note that you will have to have “Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing” checked in order for the function I provided to work.
Also, “WP offers the ability to set the display_name to any of the other names (nickname, first name last name, username, and more)”, yes that’s true, but when your preference is saved, the value you chose is c…[Read more]

David Cavins replied to the topic Losing first and last name fields in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 5 years, 1 month ago
Sorry, it’s not the BP nickname field. That’s actually a WP user meta field.
Other things that appear to be true:
• BP uses WP’s “Display Name” to label the user in activity items and elsewhere.
• WP’s ‘nickname’ meta is required but not used widely?So it seems like the key field for display in BP, bbPress and WP is WP’s “display name” field…[Read more]

Hi Tom-
It sounds like you have a lot of balls in the air. For instance:
Remember, I have removed the original xprofile_sync function.
Honestly, I can’t know enough about your setup to tell you anything for sure. What I can tell you is this:
• bbPress uses WordPress’s “Display Name” field, not a BuddyPress field.
• BuddyPress only updates the…[Read more] -

David Cavins replied to the topic How to edit Buddypress functions in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 5 years, 2 months ago
There are several ways to edit messages. Since these messages are filtered (it’s applied here: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/5.0.0/src/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/includes/functions.php#L932), you could add something like this in your

David Cavins replied to the topic Active Buddypress users in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 5 years, 2 months ago
Users are considered “active” when they have contributed something to the site. This is judged by whether they have an item in the
bp_activity
table. You could add fakelast_activity
items directly to the database table to make it look like they are active users.You could also change the loop templates (like
members/members-loop.php
) to actually…[Read more] -
David Cavins replied to the topic Programmatically create xprofile field in the forum Creating & Extending 5 years, 2 months ago
Hi @ibes–
I’d try to use Xprofile for managing profile fields. There’s a lot of baked-in goodness with the Xprofile component.
Obviously, I don’t know what will work in your situation, but it seems like name matching is reasonable. You could probably also extend the Xprofile Groups and Fields classes to add some sort of persistent-ID parameter…[Read more]

David Cavins replied to the topic Losing first and last name fields in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 5 years, 2 months ago
Hi Tom-
I’d guess that you (or the previous site admin) edited the Display Name field to be called “Name.” You can check by visiting this screen on your installation: /wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup
“Display Name” is usually the first profile field created, so if you inspect the
input
, and it has thename=field_1
, then you can guess…[Read more] - Load More
