In reply to: display member updated date?
I was thinking the same (i.e. just used internally). It’s when you start doing things like
last_profile_update( $_GET['user_id'] )you have to worry lol. I suppose it’s worth it for the record…? here goes…$last_update = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( " SELECT date_recorded FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_activity WHERE user_id = %d AND type = 'updated_profile' ORDER BY date_recorded DESC LIMIT 1 ", $user_id ) );In reply to: display member updated date?@shanebp is it worth escaping
$user_idin the SQL statement? think you can use the prepare() method for that?In reply to: display member updated date?Have you ever thought about a custom solution using user meta? Something like:
// Hook this to a particular action. update_user_meta( get_current_user_id(), 'active', current_time( 'mysql' ) );Then you’d get that for display using something like this:
// $last_active will be a date-time string. $last_active = get_user_meta( get_current_user_id(), 'active', true );Refs:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_user_metaIn reply to: Total number of postsI must admit, the template hierarchy was slightly confusing at first for me too but once you get your head around it, it is a very powerful way of using templates. It works similarly to the WordPress template hierarchy if that helps.
In reply to: Total number of postsNo. It goes into your template. So for example, if you wanted to display the count in your member profile header, then you’d put it in member-header.php.
Take a look at this article for more info on the BP template hierarchy for how to set up templates (if you don’t have them already).
In reply to: Total number of postsHey @fugglet
Pop this into your template:
echo count_user_posts( bp_displayed_user_id() )Note, if
bp_displayed_user_id()doesn’t work in that particular context then you’ll need an alternative way of getting the member’s ID.In reply to: Restricting Content + BuddyPressHi @enigmaweb
You have a couple of options regarding your requirements here.
1. You could try searching the Plugin Directory to see if anything is available that meets your needs. If nothing then you could try option 2…
2. Implement a custom solution yourself. Restricting content is fairly easy if you make use of some WordPress functions such as
current_user_can()andwp_redirect(). You’ll also need to make yourself familiar with hooks. Here’s a very basic example of how to restrict content depending on a particular user’s role.function my_restrict_content() { // Check if the current page is the group creation page AND the currently logged-in user is a subscriber if ( bp_is_group_create() && current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) return; // If we get to here, the current user is not authorised to view this content so redirect them to the homepage. wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; } add_action( 'init', 'my_restrict_content' );Helpful refs:
In reply to: Display memberlistHi @htown
1. Will buddy press allow me to print out a list of members and customize it the way I’d like?
BuddyPress may do. By default, BuddyPress provides a members directory which displays all active members (users that have activated their account). If you need more control over exactly which users are displayed then you’ll need to use the
WP_User_Queryclass provided by WordPress.Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query
2. Will buddy press allow me to export users in a CSV file?
I’m not sure this is do-able out-of-the-box. However, there may be plugins available in the WordPress Plugin Directory that can help.
In reply to: Share ButtonHi @panezio
Check out the Share Buttons by AddThis plugin
In reply to: Help: User limitHi @aakashs
Further to @shanebp’s post, and your question about 3m users, a lot comes down to what those 3m users are doing. If 3,000,000 users register, then logout, and only return once every 6 months then maintaining the site going forward will be quite easy. However, if each of the 3,000,000 return every day, upload some media, comment often and favourite a lot of activity items then you’ll need a much more powerful infrastructure in place.
In reply to: Basic PHP HTML InsertingHi @irieside
JavaScript can go inside a PHP file (via use of the
<script>tag) or it can go into a .js file. In the case of the latter, you don’t need to use the<script>tag.In reply to: Profile BuddyPressThat’s how your theme styles the page. It’s done via HTML and CSS. Regarding your question, you have a few options:
1. Write HTML and CSS yourself so that the style looks the same. See here and here for a guide to get you started
2. Find a theme from the Themes Directory that does this for you. Note that you’ll want a theme that includes styles for the BuddyPress profile page (unfortunately, there’s not many around right now but more and more are slowly being released)
3. Hire a designer to write some custom styles. The BP Jobs Forum is a good place to start if you decide to take this option.In reply to: How can I use normal comments on BP pages?But you’re saying comments_template() is also possible on BuddyPress-sites?
Yes definitely, but as far as I know, only inside singular contexts (i.e. page.php and single.php templates).
Where were you pasting the function? And what does your comments.php file look like (that’s the file comments_template() uses)?
In reply to: How can I use normal comments on BP pages?Hi @yokosix
comments_template()will work inside page.php or single.phpRef: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comments_template
In reply to: [Resolved] Fatal error activating BuddyPressHi @worldholder
The fatal error indicates you’re declaring the
BP_XProfile_Field_Type_Dateboxclass twice. For example, you’re declaring it once then on the second attempt, you get the fatal error. Your job is now to debug – to find out what may be causing it to be declared twice. As @mercime mentioned, a good place to start is to deactivate (and remove completely by deleting all of their files) all plugins and installing a theme such as Twenty Fourteen.Welcome Pack was written by one of the Lead Developers of BuddyPress so I have no hesitation in recommending it. My advice would be to set up a test site, install the plugin and play around with it to see if it works for you
Hi @iryna_b
Have you tried Welcome Pack? Even though it is no longer supported, it should still work
In reply to: How to regenerate all the user avatars?Hi @ggsalas
Have you increased the size to 250 x 250 or did you reduce the size to 250 x 250? Just thinking, if you increased the size, a re-upload might be needed to avoid blurring.
In reply to: Avatar link broken on woocommerce product pageDoes the problem happen with the Twenty Fourteen theme enabled? if not, then it surely is your theme causing the problem.
I tried submitting the form via a) Chrome and b) IE
a) This worked.
b) This seemed to fail? The console errors I get are:
DOM7011: The code on this page disabled back and forward caching. For more information, see: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=291337 File: bbpress-register HTML1300: Navigation occurred. File: bbpress-register DOM7011: The code on this page disabled back and forward caching. For more information, see: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=291337 File: bbpress-registerI’m not entirely sure what this means, but perhaps someone else here will know?
In reply to: How to Change NamesIn reply to: Live NotificationsHere’s a list of all of the changes made in BP 2.1.1 (from version 2.1):
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&group=resolution&milestone=2.1.1
In reply to: Live NotificationsYeah, if you can identify the last version of BP and WP the plugin worked with, that will be a great start.
In reply to: Live NotificationsDo you know what exactly isn’t working with the plugin? Great that you’ve contacted the developer – it’s worth providing as much info as you can – the less investigative work they need to do to diagnose the problem the better, and the more chance there will be of them fixing it 🙂
In reply to: Live NotificationsFrom a regular users point of view, I find it unlikely they’ll even bother to acknowledge new email notifications,
Agreed but I think it depends somewhat on the community. I can see email alerts being highly useful in some communities and not so useful elsewhere.
BuddyPress is first and foremost a platform. It puts foundations in place for people to build on (hence why we have plugins and themes). The Live Notifications plugin is a good example. It makes use of the
bp_notificationsdatabase table put in place by BuddyPress. If a webmaster wants to have ‘live’ notification functionality, then they can use that particular plugin. Keep in mind some webmasters may have no need for live notifications and may not want them on their site. Each (WordPress) AJAX request makes a call to admin-ajax.php – which results in a very slight delay in page load speed due to the extra processing required. This delay might not be very noticeable on sites with low activity or extremely powerful servers, but could be very noticeable on a site using a clunky hosting infrastructure or on a site with tons of activity. Imagine packing feature after feature into core by default – it would bloat the plugin unnecessarily.
