1- need to create a website where users login

BuddyPress can do this but the rest of your requirements will either need to be custom coded or you’ll need to find a plugin because BuddyPress doesn’t have that functionality out-of-the-box.

In your child theme, you’ll have a style.css file. If you don’t then you can create one so your folder structure will look like this:

wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/style.css

The Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article should help.

You can trigger an activation email manually:

bp_core_signup_send_validation_email( $user_id, $user_email, $activation_key );

You will need to get $user_id, $user_email and $activation_key before hand.

You’ll probably need a plugin for that, or even custom code a solution because, by default, BuddyPress doesn’t give members the opportunity to create new pages.

Check out the article on Page Templates.

You’d need to build a custom solution because I don’t think there’s anything available, at least for BuddyPress.

Take a look at the WordPress Transients API. That might help.

So there is no easy way to program around it?

What are you trying to do?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

Private messaging in BuddyPress is persistent (saved to the db). There is also “flash” messages but these are stored as a cookie and are removed after the page request.

Did you move WordPress? If so, check out the Moving WordPress article.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

There are a few to choose from. I haven’t tried lately myself but these seem to be popular:

• https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/mediapress/
• https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/
• https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-album/

If you’re having problems with Theme My Login, try Customizing the Login Form instead.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

Can you instead use the wp_mail filter to change the message?

add_filter( 'wp_mail', function( $array ) {
    // Set conditions here.

    $array['message'] = 'Change this';
    return $array;
} );

That page is made up of template parts but you would start by editing your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/index.php. If the file doesn’t exist you will need to create it. For more information check out the Template Hierarchy article

Ref https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

You can change the content type of WordPress emails using the wp_mail_content_type filter:

add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', function( $content_type ) {
    $content_type = 'text/html';
    return $content_type;
} );

I deleted my BuddyPress

There’s 2 parts to BuddyPress. There’s the database and then there’s the files and folders.

If you deleted the database then you’ll need to use a backup. If you’ve deleted the BuddyPress files and folders only, then you can just upload them and everything should work again.

Hi Christopher,

I’ve not seen this done before probably because of the issues it would create with reference to duplicate content.

That’s not to say it isn’t possible but my guess is it won’t be easy.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

Nice one r-a-y!

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

Are you logged in as a network admin or just a plain admin?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

I think you will need to build this because I haven’t seen a plugin that can do it and this kind of functionality isn’t in core.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

The Theme My Login plugin will let you do this. I’ve used it successfully with BP many times.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

It could be an authentication issue. Try clearing your cookies.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

Are you using a plugin? Registering via Facebook isn’t possible with BuddyPress by default.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 6 months ago]

You can use the get_post_type() function. For example:

if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) === 'post' ) {
    // This is a "post" post
} else {
    // This isn't a "post" post
}

It’s also helpful to know the default post type names:

• post
• page
• attachment
• revision
• nav_menu_item

I believe bp_the_thread_message_sender_avatar() is what you are looking for in https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/messages/message.php
