BuddyPress.org

Hi @packjazz,

One of the main uses of cookies within BuddyPress is in template message display. In this case, cookies are used to store generated error or success messages and display them after the page has been reloaded.

If you try searching the BP code base for setcookie, you should find how else BP utilises cookies.

Note: WordPress probably…[Read more]

There is a plugin available which does something similar. Check out BuddyMessageUX by Philopress. It allows you to stay on a profile page and send messages.

Hi @jolinar07

You need to find the theme’s style.css file and add your CSS to that.

I think WooCommerce might disable the admin bar but I’m not entirely sure why. Try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_disable_admin_bar', '__return_false' );

To explain what I mean’t, see this example:

http://codepad.org/kY1hW06z

get_current_user_id() returns an int. Not sure if the type in this case will make much difference but perhaps your function is expecting a string?

Try doing this:

$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$user_id = (string)$user_id;

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_current_user_id

Sorry, I didn’t see you’d posted the link to your code. I don’t think the 500 Internal Server Error is being caused by your use of those functions. Perhaps the error you’re getting is a result of code elsewhere?

I’m not sure what exactly is on line 8 but make sure you use opening and closing PHP tags like this:

<?php bp_loggedin_user_id(); ?>

<?php get_current_user_id(); ?>

The reason I ask the question is due to the following reply I received on a question I asked here

The gist of it was the use of a language file is bad practice and any translations made in a language file are overwritten on WordPress upgrade. However, I’m not sure I quite agree. What are your thoughts?

Hi @beda69

You should be able to add <?php bp_add_friend_button(); ?> to your member template. If you don’t have a member template set-up, check out the Template Hierarchy article which will show you how to create one.

Hi @richonbp

(1) A combination of PHP, JavaScript, jQuery and Ajax is the usual.
(2 – 4) Depends on your requirements
(5) Usually a combination of WordPress and BuddyPress to begin with. Then any plugins you need. You might also want to choose a theme

Hope this helps!

When you’re ready to go ahead, try posting your requirements and some contact…[Read more]

I’m no expert in jQuery but I think buddypress.js uses jq to reference jQuery. And it’s perfectly OK to do that if you do something like this var jq = jQuery; (which buddypress.js does). I don’t think the problem is with buddypress.js. Instead, check jQuery is enqueued on your homepage. And also check you’re enqueueing it just once.

Hi @rossagrant

Try using Pastebin

A good place to check out the BuddyPress code is on the GitHub repo. Signups are managed by the BP_Signup class.

Just a thought, under Settings > General > where it says ‘Membership’ make sure ‘Anyone can register’ is checked.

There seems to be something interfering with the BP registration process so the task is to find out what. This unfortunately can be quite tedious but to my knowledge it’s the only way of locating the problem.

1) Can you try using a theme such as Twenty Thirteen then test the registration process again?

2) If the theme-change didn’t work, can you…[Read more]

Hi @jonty800

Can you list all of the plugins you’re using and also which theme?

Hi @heatherkirk

I’ve never used mqtranslate but there may be an alternative way to customise those strings. Check out the Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article which shows you how to set up a language file. Hopefully that’ll help?
