BuddyPress.org

Unfortunately this plugin breaks the “groups” settings from backend and comes up with a critical error, so if anyone has a solution, please let me know. 🙂

Sounds like compatibility issue within the theme then. Have you tried it with a BuddyPress supported theme?

You can add users from back-end, yes.. but the users still need to “activate” their account and login for them to show up on the front-end (in directory).

Does the member show up in the normal member directory? – and is the issue only with the “alphabetical search”? .. My alphabetical search works fine, so might be a theme compatibility…[Read more]

Found plugin that does the job:

BP Fan Page

Try download this plugin – and switch to the user you created (can also be done from backend) – and “login” with that user. Normally users show up, when they have logged in after registration.

Maybe that works. 🙂

User Switching

Please do me a favor, go to your latest buddypress and wordpress version and try to use the userlist/friendlist, I am 1000% sure you are having the same issues.

Sorry, but works fine for me – even with latest update to BuddyPress Version 14.2.1.

I even run a pretty complex site with a lot of software that needs to be compatible – including…[Read more]

Hello again 🙂

The user you’re setting up, is this a legit setup with a mail (where you can activate the account)?. If not, then maybe give this a try. Normally users must activate their accounts from a mail they receive upon registration before they’re visible on the directory.

Also, what settings have you setup under the following:
Settings >…[Read more]

Does sound like there is a conflict somewhere – no snippet codes enabled while troubleshooting?
Could you provvide screenshots of what it looks like on your end? 🙂

Hello @forinn

Works fine for me, so sounds like a third-party conflict or maybe an issue within your theme.

Have you tried troubleshooting the issues? (Cleared cache, tested compatibility within plugins and so on?)

Hello @emaralive

Thank you for the update. Sounds exciting – I’m looking forward for the new release when it’s ready. In the meantime I just made the “Load More” button hidden on my site. 🙂

Please keep me updated. Thank you! 🙂

Figured it out (I’m stupid lol).

I can confirm that the snippet from Brajesh Singh still works. Just make sure to place it into your bp-custom.php (/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php). Turns out my role wasn’t called “Basic” (as shown/named within the backend). Since I use Paid Membership Pro it used pmpro_role_1 set by PMP.

Remember to change…[Read more]

Thank you for this plugin @dcavins!

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]

Any update on this @imath? 🙂

Just setup a quick test on a dummy site and it seems like PMP and WPJM works fine together. 🙂

I’m pretty sure you can set either of the roles made by WPJM when using PMP.

I use PMP to set specific roles and permissions within these roles for my members.
Eg. Coach, Support, Business and so on… And then assign the roles when needed upon signup.

You just must choose within PMP the roles that WPJM made itself (if they are legit roles…[Read more]

Makes sense, have you checked that your BuddyPress URLs are correct?

Settings > BuddyPress > URLs

Maybe there is a setting in there missing or something; maybe under User Groups or Gallery. :/

I personally swicthed to MediaPress since I had other third plugins like Anonymous Posting, Privacy Settings and so on that were too important – and…[Read more]

Not sure if I got the option because of third party plugin I’ve got installed.

But you should be able to change this as a setting under Users > Profile Fields.

Normally you can set the different visibility settings in there, but “Name/Username” is normally fixed and can’t be changed from what I know.

Have you checked if the WPJM is compatible with a plugin like PMP? – Might be an easier way for you to control permissions based on user roles.
