In reply to: BuddyPress issue since upgrading WordPress
You’ll probably need to upgrade your BuddyPress version for compatibility with the latest version of WordPress.
Unfortunately, a number of look / feel aspects typically change when you upgrade BuddyPress (particularly coming from a relatively old version). It often requires developer support to upgrade and retain your site’s design.
Some questions that will help you get further support:
What version of BuddyPress are you on / were you on previously?
Which ‘off the shelf’ theme (if any) are you using?
If bespoke theme – is it a child of another theme – which version?
Then you need to add an action that hooks in the function you want to run:
add_action ( ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’, ‘my_function’ );
If you read the link I gave earlier, it explains how this action whole process works.
In reply to: Have Buddypress and BBpress – this site needs HELPTry posting on the Jobs Board on this site, not the gallery: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/
Also, explain what it is you want doing with your site, some details about the work required, etc. It says nothing about that in your post above.
In reply to: How To Get Admin Updates of All Site ActivityThere’s no built in switch to do this, but it is quite easy to code –
You’d need to hook onto the bp_activity_add action, and use the messages_new_message() function to send the email to the admin.
For details on adding a search form to a page, check out this documentation on WordPress.org.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Search_PageTo add your page to the main nav menu, visit Appearance.. Menus in wp-admin and configure your menu.
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/And finally, the other page you are seeing is just the standard 404 page (page not found), which contains a search form by default.
Yes, this is standard behaviour with BuddyPress on a multisite install.
Enable site tracking in your BuddyPress settings.
In reply to: Do these Features Exist somewhere?Looks like @djpaul and I posted simultaneously!
In reply to: Do these Features Exist somewhere?@ndugger I don’t know of a plugin that supports these permissions — so, you’d would need to get your hands dirty in the PHP code. I would suggest assigning WordPress user roles to members, and then in the group template files enabling / disabling the Join capability based on user role.
We (21inspired) have some plans with regard to photo albums, but they are a little way off.
it’s not a function itself… it’s a call to the do_action() function, passing ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’ as the parameter. The call is being made in sidebar.php in the bp-default template folder.
You can find these things by searching through a buddypress install in any good code editor / development environment.
do_action() itself is defined in the core WordPress files. In this case, do_action() will invoke any functions that you hook onto the bp_after_sidebar_me action.
@frank13 — there is no specific script for a do_action ( ‘abc123’ );
You have to register functions (hooks) that are invoked by the do_action — check out these pages from the WordPress Codex for more information on programming actions: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

In reply to: Registration Age date ProblemDon’t post duplicates.
If you don’t understand, or are unable to carry out the advice given, please say so on the original thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/dob-problem-on-registration-form/
In reply to: Custom Profile Fields not shown on members profilesBuddyPress profile fields do show by default when you visit a profile. So, it sounds like either your theme, or a plugin is causing the problem.
Did you create your profile fields from the BuddyPress menus in wp-admin?
The most likely candidate for the problem sounds like the plugin you are using to add buttons and maps to the user profiles.
Try deactivating that plugin – do the profile fields show?
Try switching to bp-default theme – do the profile fields show?
If they are still not showing — deactivate all your plugins except BuddyPress, use the default theme, and go to the Profile Fields section in wp-admin … are they definitely set up correctly in there? Are privacy settings correct? Do the profile fields show now in the front end?
By breaking your search down for a solution step by step like this, you’ll be able to determine what is causing the problem (your theme or one of your plugins).
In reply to: Can’t get to WordPress admin dashboardYou can also try increasing your PHP memory (as indicated by the error message you’ve received)… you should then be able to run BuddyPress without problem on your site.
There are many ways to increase PHP memory (including some specific to WordPress)… please have a Google to find those.
It sounds like you want to create a directory page for all the pages on your site… is that correct?
The BuddyPress directories only exist for BuddyPress components like groups, members, etc.
The pages on your site are just standard WordPress pages. If you want to create a directory page that lists them all, you would need to write your own template file with a custom WP_Query loop that just returns pages, or perhaps use a WordPress API function to return all pages.
For more information on how to do this, you should visit the documentation on WordPress: https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
Take a look at this — you get the information from the basic WordPress user data:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-registration-date
Remember to replace the user ID appropriately in the function I give
In reply to: Need a link to each users profile pageWe answered this question just a few days ago: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/link-to-profile-messages-friends-and-settings/
This forum desperately needs a working search capability, as well better structure for the forums themselves, ..
In reply to: DOB Problem on Registration form.The date picker profile field on BuddyPress doesn’t allow you to specify a range (from wp-admin).
2037 is a PHP upper date limit.
You would have to write some PHP code to modify your registration templates to support this.
In reply to: Single activity entry template locationYep, it’s a really difficult one to find. Try:
/members/single/activity/permalink.php

In reply to: activate member from adminThanks @shanebp — that’s point for point exactly what I was going to say!
In reply to: [Resolved] How to add time in blog post?thanks for the feedback — glad you got it working
In reply to: HEEELP! I activated BuddyPress and my site CRASHED!Once you’ve done that:
1. Ideally, set up a test environment and try your BuddyPress install / related dev on there first
2. De-activate all your other plugins before activating BuddyPress — it’s likely a clash with one of them
3. Set the theme to the default for now (you can change to yours later)
4. If that all works, activate each plugin in turn to find the clash
5. Finally, switch to your themeIn reply to: HEEELP! I activated BuddyPress and my site CRASHED!go to plugins and delete the BuddyPress folder
In reply to: Link To Profile, Messages, Friends, and SettingsHave you used something like firebug / Safari (or Chrome) developer tools to see what code it is actually generating for your link?
What’ve you written above looks nothing like a link — has something been lost in your pasting of code?
As, I said earlier in the thread… this is fairly basic PHP / HTML stuff, and not really a BuddyPress question anymore.
Edit:
`<a href="displayed_user->domain?>”>Profile` is how you would write it in a template file
