Hi @babcoltd

You will need to sync the value of your xProfile field with a WordPress role to get this working. I’m not sure that a plugin is available so as far as I know it will need to be custom developed.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

Hi @giuseppecuttone

The BuddyPress Trac ticketing system is the way to follow BuddyPress development. You can view open tickets and even contribute patches and bug reports.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

With reference to point 2, bbPress works very well with BuddyPress. It’s actually a sister project so you can be sure of compatibility.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

Blocking isn’t something that’s in core. Are you using a plugin?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

You will still need to define the BP_FRIENDS_SLUG constant unfortunately.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

Hey @ryuunosukemiyosaki

I believe there’s some slugs still hard coded. Take “change-cover-image” for example, here’s where it’s specified in the code base:

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/2.8.2/src/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-component.php#L252

You’ll notice it isn’t filterable or override-able.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

It will depend on how the bb media plugin uploads the files. It’s probably worth asking the author of the plugin this same question.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

The easiest way to do this is to edit the home.php file. You’ll need to comment out bp_get_displayed_user_nav() and the related markup.

Ref: your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/home.php

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

So, basically just download a whole load and then open them up and have a look?

If you want to know for sure then I guess you’ll need to do this.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

My guess is there is a php closing tag followed by a newline in one php file.

This is likely the cause. The next step is finding where. How do you know it’s a BuddyPress issue?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

You can get the value of an xProfile field in BuddyPress quite easily but you will need to use code. Take a look at this article to get started:

Displaying Extended Profile Fields on Member Profiles

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

This question is forum related so try asking over at bbPress.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

bp_search_form() isn’t really used these days. Try bp_directory_members_search_form() instead. The function will output a search form so no need to use echo.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

Hi thejameshardy

Which file are you adding bp_search_form() to?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

This isn’t possible in BuddyPress “out-of-the-box”. You’ll need to find a plugin or introduce some custom code.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

You should have them in your plugin folder. Try looking here wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

You can check if either of these two directories exist inside the theme:

• buddypress
• community

If either of these exist, the content inside is specific to BuddyPress and will likely be custom.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

Cause using hooks is more sustainable and less likely to have conflicts in the future?

Possibly but the template hierarchy is integral to BuddyPress and use is encouraged. If you find a water-tight alternative way of doing it then by all means use that approach instead.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

@cameronjonesweb

Why are you unhooking the reg form from the content? I think the BuddyPress template hierarchy can help you here.

Template Hierarchy

You can just nuke the reg form from your-child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php and then add your custom form.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

I want it to show the welcome page, which I have associated with the Buddypress register page….

Can you describe what the welcome page is and how you’ve associated it with the reg page?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

Could it be that you’re logged in when accessing these pages? That would explain why you’re redirected to /members/

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

Hi @rhj4

Autocomplete, by default, will suggest friends only. Could it be that “donna” is a friend but “nberg” isn’t?

If this is the issue, you can tell the autocomplete script to look at all members instead of just friends by adding this line to your bp-custom.php file:

define( 'BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL', true );

This means your site is hitting a resource limit, set by your hosting company. You should contact your host and ask if anything can be done to boost the available resources.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

I did a quick search and found Buddypress Upload Avatar Ajax. Not sure if it helps?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 5 months ago]

How are the users uploading the media?
