Hi @julia_b

To my knowledge there isn’t anything like that available. Try searching the WP Plugin Directory. Else, if you’re good with code, something like this can be accomplished using regular expressions

All of that said, forums questions are better asked over at bbPress. You may have more luck there.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

You can check that with bp_is_register_page(). Thinking about it, you’ll need logged out users to also have access to the activation page so that they can activate their account. You can use bp_is_activation_page() for that. So, the function becomes:

function my_redirecter() {
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && ! bp_is_register_page() && ! bp_is_activation_page() ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url() . '/login/' );
        exit();
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_redirecter' );

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

Regarding the redirect, I’m not sure if there is a plugin but you can add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function my_redirecter() {
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url() . '/login/' );
        exit();
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_redirecter' );

Deleting BuddyPress

If you follow all of the instructions in that article you should get to the point where you can reinstall.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @bridieamelia,

Try this:

function redirect_members_page() {
    if ( bp_is_user_profile() && ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
        $user = get_userdata( get_current_user_id() );
        wp_redirect( home_url() . '/members/' . $user->user_login . '/profile/' );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_members_page' );

I was going on both my own experience with the editor and the note in the Codex article I referenced above. My own experience wasn’t with the what’s new form so if it’s working for the what’s new form then completely disregard what I said above 🙂

Edit: And you’re right about BuddyPress JavaScript needing the #whats-new selector. I can see it’s used a couple of times inside buddypress.js.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

@danbp, just to mention, $editor_id is fussy about hyphens. See here. And contrary to the advice in that Codex article, I’ve also found $editor_id dislikes underscores. Best bet is to use lowercase letters only.

I was wondering what Rocket Loader was too! I did a little bit of digging:

Rocket Loader

Automatically optimizes your pages to minimize the number of network connections and ensure even third party resources won’t slow down page rendering.

Hi @speedys

Searching the Plugin Directory for “custom admin bar” I came across a few plugins that may be of interest:

• Custom Admin Bar
• WordPress All In One Admin Bar
• Wp My Admin Bar

These may or may not do what you need but feel free to search yourself. There seems to be lots available.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

Hi Ian

wpautop() is a function you could use for this. Check out:

Hi @pavle123

Have you tried searching the WP plugin repo for something like “social login”? There are quite a few so you might want to give some a try on a test install to find the one that suits you best

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @jsonb123

…there is a need to have a Members Directory on the site…

BuddyPress does provide a members directory.

They may or may not be able to communicate to other members

BuddyPress has both public and private messaging which could take care of this.

I think you’re doing the right thing by installing and testing it out to see if it’s for you. If not, then no harm done really.

Hi @vijaymetatagg

There is some related discussion in this Trac ticket but nothing has been implemented yet:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4132

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

The best way to debug this if you’re sure only certain individuals are affected is to find out what’s different about them:

• What role are they?
• Are they activated members?
• Are they marked as a spammer?
• Do they have any friends?
• Anything else?

Some (maybe all) of these won’t be related but with something like this when there isn’t much info to go on, the only way to debug is trial and error.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @godavid33,

Unless things have changed, users should be able to message anybody. Are you sure you’re not using a plugin such as BuddyPress Private Messages for Friends Only?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @jjnw

I haven’t tested your solution but wanted to point out any modifications you make to core files such as buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypresss/members/single/profile.php will be lost on upgrade of the plugin.

There is a way around this! Take a look at the Template Hierarchy article. There isn’t much to it actually. All you need to do is create a folder inside your theme called /buddypress/. All BuddyPress templates you create go inside here.

So for example: Create /wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile.php

Then simply add your code changes to profile.php

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

Thanks for your feedback @00mark. The buddypress.org site was actually open sourced back in the spring so you can now checkout, review, and patch the code yourself (if you want to). 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

Also, take a look at the Your BuddyPress forum for links shared by the community.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

Hi @tightflks

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

function my_signup_redirect( $user_id, $user_login, $user_password, $user_email, $usermeta ) {
    wp_redirect( home_url() . '/members/' . $user_login . '/profile/edit/group/1/' );
    exit();
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'my_signup_redirect', 10, 5 );

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

You could do this:

echo '100' . bp_displayed_user_id();

So, if the value of bp_displayed_user_id() was 1, then 1001 would be echo’d on screen.

That said, I don’t see anything wrong in starting at 1. There’s no shame in being a brand new website. Everyone started at zero, even Facebook

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

Hi @robparker,

May I ask why you’re querying by username and not by user ID?

You can simply use the author parameter with WP_Query. Using what you linked to as an example:

$args = array(
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
    'paged' => $paged,
    'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
    'author' => $user_id
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

Where $user_id will be bp_displayed_user_id() if you’re doing this query on a member’s profile page. Else, it’ll be something else depending on the context in which you’re using WP_Query.

Hi @beenvy2

The colour can be changed via CSS. If you’re not familiar with CSS, take a look at this tutorial to get you started.

Info specific to WordPress can be found in the CSS Codex article.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

I wouldn’t advise editing the user IDs in the database as I have no idea what would happen when WordPress wants to allocate an ID to the next newest member and you’ve already used that particular ID.

Which number would you like to start at? If it’s not very big then you could always create some dummy users yourself which would take up the first few IDs? Once real users begin to sign up you can delete the dummy users. To my knowledge, the dummy user IDs won’t get recycled.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

I want only the friends to be shown rather than all the members of the website for the chat option

I’m not very familiar with the plugin’s code. Have you tried asking on the BuddyDev support forum?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

The hosting package you should choose depends on a few things. In general, give consideration to all of these things:

• How many visitors you’ll get
• Is your website’s functionality resource-hungry? Stuff like dynamic image resizing will be a heavy load on the server
• Price of the hosting package
• Hosting support. Does the hosting package come with good technical support?
• Reliability. Is there an uptime guarantee or is it expected that your server will have lots of downtime?
• more…

Hopefully that will help you in your research to find a good hosting service.
