Didn’t know someone took the time to update the old “BP Group Hierarchy” plugin by David Dean.

Can confirm it works for me with the following setup:
WordPress - Version 6.6.2
BuddyPress - Version 14.2.1
Template Pack - Legacy

The only minor issue I’m having is that my theme doesn’t support the s…[Read more]

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks 😍. Very interesting ideas!! I’ll add the « spam protection » one I received on Twitter to the list.

Just like John who gave the right example as a Project Lead, I’ll share my ideas 😁.

The code you suggested was incorrect. Here is the correct code to fix the problem:
function my_xprofile_sync_wp_profile( $user_id = 0 ) {
// Bail if profile syncing is disabled.
if ( bp_disable_profile_sync() ) {

I ended up going to legacy instead of nouveau as well and it works fine. I am also able to use the BP Post From Anywhere plugin with Legacy and that is working fine as well. I don’t think that one works with Nouveau either.

More precisely, I removed the function from the action and then added your revised function. I guess that should not prevent the forum name from being set and yet it apparently does. Well, your bullet items are good info, especially that first one. I…[Read more]

Just @mentioning you in case you’re not subscribed. I think you code can work for me if we can just get the Forum name back to being savable.

After looking at the original function in the link you posted, I’m guessing that updating the nickname with $fullname is not wrong, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I notice that this…[Read more]

Or why Buddypress overrides important BBpress fields for editing the forum profile? I think there must be a way around this. I do not see that Memberpress is involved in this profile page at all (no apparent mepr classes or…[Read more]

If I check that box ever role type has the ability to create a group regardless of the code above.

we allow vendors to post products so could we use something like this?

add_filter( ‘bp_user_can_create_groups’, function( $can_create ) {
$can_create = false;
if ( current_user_can( ‘edit_products’ ) ) {
$can_create = true;
}

Where do we find the users capabilities?

We are having a lot of issues with this. Is there a way to “review/ pending for approval” the groups before going live.

Are you using any email plugins for WordPress that you require to successfully send emails? Or SMTP config? Or anything custom in php.ini?

The toolbar is alot easier to modify too 🙂
