Hidden groups in BuddyPress allow their members not only to invite others, but also to modify the group settings (for instance, to revert to public group…). Is there a fix for this?

Thanks for your help.

I created a test group. Even though the settings are that only the admin can invite other members, all members of the group can. They can also change the group settings. So, there is basically no difference between a group member and the website’s admin.

It is a known issue, but I could not find its solution anywhere. Redis object cache prevents xprofiles biographical field’s updates to appear in BP frontend.

I did a lot of fancy stuff with plugins lately, and that might be the reason why I came across this issue. I re-tested and everything seems fine now.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

The BuddyPress xprofiles website field turns https urls into http, which does cause browsers to show a security warning when these urls are clicked on in a member’s profile. I could not find an answer to that issue.

In my case, the issue was due to a conflict with Redis object cache. I had to deactivate the plugin and now BP is working fine.

WordPress version: 6.7
BuddyPress version: 14.2.1

The issue still happens with Twenty Twenty-Five theme

Though BP says that changes are saved, they are only saved under BP Edit tab and in WordPress user profile, but not under BP View tab (which is the content visitors will see…).

I’d like to limit what a member can see under the Activity tab to her Friends’ activity and to the groups this member belongs to, both for the last month of activity only.

WP: 6.6.2; BP:14.1.0; onehomeplanet.com

Once saved, the biography type field edits on the front end show in the corresponding Biographical Info in WP dashboard, but not under the BP View tab. Not a caching issue.

Thanks for your help,

I am referring to the Biography field when choosing a field type. I noticed that changes are saved only if I delete and recreate the field.

Thanks for your help.

I updated and saved my user profile bio in Buddypress, but it is still the previous one that appears when clicking on View.

I eventually figured it out. The most simple things are often the easiest to miss…

Thank you.

Indeed, messaging someone “publicly” does not make much sense if everyone and their mother can see the message, not just the specific group of people you intended it to.

Now, how do you send a private message to several people at once? I guess I have to be “Friend” with each of them. From there is it enough to click on the username of one of…[Read more]

I tried the following php but it does not work.

Thanks for your help.

function buddydev_remove_leave_group_button( $btn ) {

if ( $btn[‘id’] == ‘leave_group’ ) {
unset( $btn[‘id’] );
}

return $btn;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_group_join_button’, ‘buddydev_remove_leave_group_button’ );

I created a hidden group with a hidden forum titled “Test 4.” The URL is https://onehomeplanet.com/bp/groups/test-4/forum/.

I also created a sub-forum titled “Test 4.1” (hidden as well) under the group’s main forum. Strangely, the URL becomes: https://onehomeplanet.com/forums/forums/test-4/test-4-1/

So, of course, the latter gives an “Oops!…[Read more]

Does public messaging imply that only people in the same group will see the message or that all BuddyPress users will (which would seem to be the case anyway if no group has been created)?

Thanks for your help.

How can I restrict BP group creations to the WP website’s administrator?

Thanks for your help.

I am unable to explain in a clear and succinct way to my website’s future members how to send private or public messages and how to do it individually or in bulk (addressing group members, for instance). One reason for my incapacity is that there is a little bit of information everywhere about these topics, which is often contradictory. The…[Read more]

I recently installed BuddyPress. For some reason, profile pictures take all the space in width above the different option tabs in personal accounts. People do not want to see their faces in huge when logging in to check their accounts; how can I fix this?
