BuddyPress.org

The way to do this would be to wrap info fields in conditional statements like this

if member type is X then
// display info field

Welcome pack by Paul Gibbs will allow you to customise the text in all emails that get sent out via BuddyPress

With reference to the emails not getting through to users, perhaps try reverting to the default theme, deactivate all plugins (aside from BP) and see if the problem is still happening.

There is a plugin by BuddyDev which might help. It allows members to add an avatar on sign up

BuddyPress Signup Avatar

You might want to provide more details of the problem. Which version of WP, BP, plugins activated? Which theme are you using?

I’m not very familiar with the groups loop (never had groups enabled) but, yes, in theory there is nothing to stop copying functions you need from the BP core, modifying them for your purpose then adding them to your theme’s functions.php file for your own custom use.

For the groups loop, you need to use bp_group_has_members() instead of bp_has_members()

bp_loggedin_user_id() will hold the exact same value as $the_user_id anyway.

article?

I noticed in your code these lines aren’t being used:

global $bp;
$the_user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->userdata->ID;
$the_user_login = $bp->loggedin_user->userdata->user_login;

Unless you’re using $the_user_login or $the_user_id it should be safe to remove them.

The user ID of the admin is usually 1. That assumes you have just one administrator and that was the first user created when you set up BP. The thread ID is the ID of the private message. You can get this from the URL. It’ll end something like /view/86. It is the digit that you want.

You’ll need the $user_id and $thread_id; for the link to work.

@l-tic unless the person clicking the link is involved in the conversation, linking to a private message will surely result in a 404?

<a href="/<?php echo bp_core_get_username( $user_id ); ?>/messages/view/<?php echo $thread_id; ?>/" title="Message">Message</a>

@tayenewm just a thought – do you know if the developer made any customisations to the BuddyPress core? This is quite bad practice but it is a possibility. If that has happened then there are 3 options…

@tayenewm there is a good chance this is down to your theme so reinstalling BuddyPress is most probably unnecessary.

If the developer has modified any of the markup in members-loop.php then there is a good chance the modifications are what has broken the sort feature. The sort feature is dependent on certain page elements so if any class names or…[Read more]

OK so perhaps it hasn’t been. I decided on using this solution if anyone else ever needs it:

<script>
$(document).mouseup(function (e)
{
var notice = $(".bp-template-notice");

});
</script>

This will dismiss the template notice…[Read more]
