    @danbp thanks for the above, that’s exactly what I have done. I have only one child theme and this is where the issue was. After 3 days of frustration and searching all over the internet, I have found the issue, which actually is a little stupid lol I guess after updating the main theme, it activated itself automatically? So the actual child theme was not active! So it’s all working now. Thanks for the help!

    Thanks @r-a-y. I need to do a little bit of both. I have tried to do it the way as in the article, unfortunately that doesn’t work for me. I do everything as described and tried it with and without placing add_theme_support( ‘buddypress’ ); in functions.php and nothing. I am using a child theme, can it have to do something with that?

    If you are talking about code snippets, you can use your theme’s functions.php file or wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php.

    Thanks for the above!!

    @mcpeanut thanks a lot about all the info! I have tried to hire several programmers who claimed to have extensive WP experience, but unfortunately all 5 of them failed and backed up after a couple of days. None of their work was of any use unfortunately. These were off an unnamed micro-job platform, so maybe I just was not lucky enough to find a reliable one. But no offence meant to anyone. πŸ™‚

    So what I decided to do was to build the core by myself – like you said – with help of plugins, random tutorials from the web,… All the trial and error way. I came quite far and the “only” thing left is some of the plugins need to be connected or slightly customized for which I am going to hire someone, because even though I know HTML/CSS, I don’t know that much about php. I only can follow tuts – like a monkey :))) I still think this is a better way than have someone build the whole thing on small budget. Of course I can imagine a nice development with thousands of $$$ available.

    Anyway, what I have done is use the BuddyPress as the absolute core, adding all the functions like following a user, messaging, portfolio, … I have then used WC Vendors for the marketplace bit. As such, the users don’t really access any shop pages, or search by categories. I have populated the products onto a custom tab in BP (hope that makes sense). So now I am at the stage when I try to find someone again to “finish it off”. Wish me luck πŸ™‚

    I’ll have a look at those plugins too, thanks for that.

    Hi all,

    I have a question that takes this a bit further. Is anyone aware of a way that each registered user will be assigned to their own group. Means that with each registered user, their own group will be automatically created and the user will be added to it.

    Thanks

    Let me just explain what exactly I need. I will do screenshots & comments in one minute.

    @insearchofasolution

    @sharmavishal in regards to the plugin you keep suggesting – that is a paid option. And at the moment I am in the development stage seeing what options are there to build what I need. And don’t even know if I’ll be using WP at all. So I am not really looking for paid plugins.

    The snippet you quoted is for profile menu integration..did you use that in bp-custom.php?

    No, I haven’t. I used it as it said on the “tutorial” in member-header.php copied onto the theme’s folder and didn’t see any results at all. Do I need to add anything into the bp-custom.php too?

    I would very much appreciate any practical kind of help please.

    @insearchofasolution

    @sharmavishal Thanks for the clarification. Can you help in which database can I find these? I had a look in the wp_users and there’s only the BP one. Maybe I am too confused, sorry about that!

    As for the plugin – I don’t need any extensive integration. The only thing I need is to “merge” the WC Vendors user with the BP profile so that they are one user.

    Below a screenshot of what I need – only that persons products to show up on their BP profile.

    Thanks shanebp. I was afraid that’s the case but it is what it is then… Could you please recommend some of the plugins? I am literally overwhelmed by all the information I found and don’t know where to start lol

    Also I forgot – the entire buying process would always start with the buyer entering an UK postcode to search for vendors in his/her area and then pick one of the default categories.

    Example:

    Postcode: SE1 2SW
    Service: Sewing

    then it would list all the vendors. Buyer would go on their profile –> pick a specific service (e.g. skirt sewing) –> book a date and time slot –> pay.

    Vendor delivers –> buyer confirms as delivered –> vendor gets paid less commission (the payment bit can be done manually by me initially, not a big deal. I just need the vendor to be able to see stats).

    Thanks
