Hi @style960

Email notifications are fired off instantly (unless queued by your mail server). Web notifications (as you’ve noticed) need a page refresh by default. Ajax would need to be put into place in order for them to become ‘live’. You can request this feature over at Trac but there’s no guarantee the functionality will make it into core.

Hope that helps!

The bar you speak of is created by the theme used here on buddypress.org. If you’re using your own theme, then a bar such as that may or may not appear (depending on your theme). The good news is buddypress.org is now open sourced, so feel free to look at the code to see how it has been done.

BuddyPress Like might not be what you want but I thought I’d point it out. You can customise the ‘like’ text via the WordPress admin area.

Hi @icaroferreira

1. The registration form is usually at somewhere like example.com/register/

2. You can add the following to your theme’s functions.php file should you wish to remove the admin bar:

add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );

Hi @robertosalemi

Check out these:

• https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-component-stats/
• https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-member-profile-stats/

Note: I haven’t used them myself, but they look popular.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Do you have a link to your site?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @matt4444

This is likely due to the theme’s stylesheet. As it’s a premium theme, you should be able to contact the theme author to make them aware of the issue (and hopefully they’ll fix it).

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @deepanchakravarthi,

Which plugins are you using? and which theme? This is likely due to some rogue code hooking to a hook which fires on each page load.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @ddt

This isn’t a problem I’ve come across myself. Can you provide some links to where you’ve read about BuddyPress not liking WordPress in its own directory (as opposed to the root dir)?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Which theme and plugins are you using?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @tolisp

bp_after_has_members_parse_args isn’t a hook I’m aware of. Are you sure it’s a hook?

Edit: I see the hook was added in BP 2.0.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @navinachettri

1. Have you searched the plugin directory?
2. This can be done via hooks. It will need some custom code (not much, just a few lines).
3. You could hide or show xProfile fields according to role. How exactly roles are created and managed will be dependent on point 1
4. Again, to distinguish business users from ‘normal’ users, you’d use the roles created via the plugin you’re using from point 1. The jobs and adverts could each have their own custom post type
5. This will need to be custom coded

Hope that helps?

Hi @iburnthings

You can change this:

if ( ! is_super_admin() ) {
     if ( is_super_admin( bp_displayed_user_id() ) ) {
         wp_redirect( home_url() );
         exit;
     }
}

to:

if ( ! is_super_admin() ) {
     if ( ! user_can( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'edit_posts' ) ) {
         wp_redirect( home_url() );
         exit;
     }
}

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

@iburnthings it sure can but how exactly do you mean?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Nice @shanebp 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @dreamh11,

Try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function hide_admin_profile() {

    // Bail if this is not a profile.
    if ( ! bp_is_user_profile() )
        return;

    // This assumes the member ID of the admin user is 1.
    if ( 1 == bp_displayed_user_id() ) {
        // We're trying to view the admin's profile so redirect to the homepage.
        wp_redirect( home_url() );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'hide_admin_profile' );

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @redknite

Assuming the date is an xProfile field, you could remove that and insert 2 option lists? For example

Option list 1: Month

1
2
3
4
5
…
12

Option list 2: Year

1990
1991
1992
..
2014

In your case, there’d be no need for a 3rd option list (day of the month) but you could always add that in at a later date?

I’m sure there is a more civilised way of approaching this but that idea came into my head so I thought I’d share.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Related, I’m now having trouble with large-file Plupload uploads on Android. Same file uploads fine on desktop

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

See this post. There’s a bug in iOS 8 file uploads. I’m not sure if it has been resolved yet.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @sherry22

You can redirect pages using the wp_redirect() function. For example:

function my_redirect() {
    if ( bp_is_groups() && ! bp_is_group_forum() ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url() . '/whichever-page-you-want/' );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_redirect' );

@giggio I seem to remember something similar coming up recently (a memory issue). Would you happen to be hosting your site at WPEngine? Check out this thread for some discussion.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Can you provide some more details about your set up?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

@bphelp

Humm, strange! As you can see, code tags seem to be working for me

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

function hello() {
    // Testing 123...
}
add_action( 'code_test', 'hello' );

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

I’m not aware of a plugin that can do exactly that? Perhaps some of the guys on here know of one?

To do it manually, you could hook a function to init and work from there. For example:

function my_function() {

    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_current_component( 'messages' ) ) {
        // Current user is not logged in so don't let them see stuff. In this case, private messages 
        wp_redirect( home_url() );
        exit;
    }
        
    $flag = false;
    // Get current user info.
    $user = wp_get_current_user();

    if ( ! in_array( 'student', $user->roles ) ) {
        // The current member is not a student.
        $flag = true;
    }

    if ( $flag && bp_is_current_component( 'messages' )  ) {
        The currently logged-in member is not a student and is trying to view private messaging. Let's redirect them away.
        wp_redirect( home_url() );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_function' );

From that, you should be able to see how you can achieve what you’re trying to do without the need of a plugin.
