Hi Michael,
Thank you for sharing your views here.

Since the forking of BuddyPress, can you please provide what kind of new feature other than merging your own/others plugin into the bundle have your team added. Also, is there any future plan available for the platform?

It is nice to know that you plan to open the platform for contribution in future. I have tried your releases and I am still wondering what prevented you/your team from contributing to BuddyPress? Did you try to contribute or was there some other reason for fork?

It will help understand the decision better.

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi,
BuddyPress.org is not shutting down. The next version of BuddyPress will be available on 15th.
You can follow the development here
https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress

and for the upcoming REST API here
https://github.com/buddypress/BP-REST

BuddyBoss’s fork is mega bundle of BuddyPress and a few other plugins(bbpress, bp-profile search, and a few others) with minor enhancements. It does not seem their fork will survive on its own(been following their updates from the first release till now) if the BuddyPress development ceases. Consider it as a distribution that bundles some needed functionality together than a real fork(atleast until now).

There have been many community plugin available in past(ultimate members, user ultra and I can recall 4-5 others) which have been doing well. There will be even more.

The choice should be based on your needs. Using a commercially supported plugin provides better support which BuddyPress lacks currently. If support is important, BuddyPress may not be the best choice.

Other than that, no membership plugin has a vast eco system than BuddyPress(It has 500+ addons on wordpress plugin repo).

Hope it clarifies and helps you decide.

Regards
Brajesh

Hi Naomi,
You can download it from here(see the bottom dropdown).

BuddyPress

Select the version and download.

Now that you can download it, I will suggest looking at the issues and fixing it for future. Being on the current version helps you with security and a lot of other problems.

Best regards

Hi Anders,
No problem.

About 2 members and 3 members issue:- BuddyPress only lists users who have an active account and have logged in to your site atleast once after you activated BuddyPress.

Please login to your site with that user for 1 time and they will appear in the list.

Regards
Brajesh

[@sbrajesh Participant 7 years, 2 months ago]

Hi Anders,
It won’t appear there. It is a directory page and BuddyPress does not add the directory page inside the link box you have specified.

Question:- Why do you need that page to appear in the above link box?

Your directory is working now. Please see

Medlemmar

If your goal is to add to the main menu, you already did it. Please help me understand more and I will assist further.

and let me know if it works.
Sorry, the reply embedding is not working here.

[@sbrajesh Participant 7 years, 2 months ago]

To Answer your last question:- No, There won’t be any page “Members” in that link Block. BuddyPress does not add Members there.

Even though “Members” is a special page(directory), the BuddyPress link section only lists pages relevant to logged in user(profile tabs).

[@sbrajesh Participant 7 years, 2 months ago]

Hi @venutius,
Thank you for sharing. Makes sense.

I asked because I never needed to do that(always assigned pages manually when needed), but it may help in some case.

Brajesh

[@sbrajesh Participant 7 years, 2 months ago]

Hi Anders,
Your members directory is working fine.
here is the link

Registrerade medlemmar

It seems to me that you have created 2 members page. Please visit Dashboard->Pages abd search for “Members”. Delete one of the pages.

Then please visit Dashboard->Settings->BuddyPress->Pages and associate the remaining “Members Page” with BuddyPress.

Once you are done with it, Please visit Dashboard->Appearance->Menu and click on “Pages” tab(it is the first one above BuddyPress). Click All pages and select members.

That should do it.

If you are finding any issue, please reply back and I will create an account and assist.

Hi,
what are the issues you are facing?
Did you make any changes to BuddyPress php files? If not, then uninstalling and installing won’t make much difference.

If you can list the issues you are facing, May be I or other community members here can assist.

Best Regards
Brajesh

[@sbrajesh Participant 7 years, 2 months ago]

Hi Anders,
Please try the suggestion in my previous reply and see if that works or not?

@venutius,
Can you please tell me what will be affected by deactivating and activating BuddyPress? I don’t see nay reason(if the page has been associated in BuddyPress page settings).

Regards
Brajesh

[@sbrajesh Participant 7 years, 2 months ago]

Hi,
Thank you for the screenshot and the screencast. I can see the issue now.

The “Members” page is not part of “BuddyPress” section of the nav menu screen. It is part of your normal “Pages” section.

The “BuddyPress” box allows you to add link for logged in user’s profile tabs(or login/register link for logged out users).

If you want to add Members to your Menu, Please click on the first box “Pages” on the menu screen and select “Members” from it.

Regards
Brajesh

[@sbrajesh Participant 7 years, 2 months ago]

Hi Anders H,

Please leave that content empty. BuddyPress will generate the members list automatically.

Once you have created this page, Please visit Dashboard->settings->BuddyPress and open the “Pages” tab.
Make sure you select this page in the “Members” option and it will work.

Best regards
Brajesh

Hi,
Please have a look at BP profile search

BP Profile Search

This should help you with achieving your goal.

Best regards

[@sbrajesh Participant 7 years, 5 months ago]

Hi,
Before deciding to redirect from sitewide activity to user’s own activity you should know the difference between them and then decide.

– On the sitewide page a user can see activity from whole site(including his won/friends/his groups and any non related member of the site)

– On profile, a user can see his/her won activity as well as friends/groups etc but activities of group they are not member of or activity of users they are not friends with, won’t be visible,

If you still want to redirect from sitewide activity to user’s own activity, You may use the following code.

/**
 * Redirect logged in user's from sitewide activity page to profile activity.
 */
function buddydev_redirect_sitewide_activity_to_profile_activity() {

	if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_activity_directory() ) {
		bp_core_redirect( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_activity_slug() );
	}
}

add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'buddydev_redirect_sitewide_activity_to_profile_activity' );

PS:- you can put the code in your theme’s functions.php or in the wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

Best Regards
Brajesh

You are welcome 🙂

Oops, did not see that @venutius already replied .

[@sbrajesh Participant 7 years, 5 months ago]

Do you want to override template files? If yes, the first step is to find out which template pack you are using(Dashboard->settings->BuddyPress->Options).

BuddyPress comes with 2 template packs
– BP Legacy
– BP Nouveau

Once you know the template pack, you can follow the following step

1. create a directory named “buddypress” in your theme
2. Now visit wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates, you will see two directories
– bp-legacy
– bp-nouveau
3. Based on your current template pack, visit that directory. You will find “buddypress” directory inside them. This is the directory of your interest. Copy files from there and maintain the path.

For example, if bp-legacy is your current template pack and you want to modify members loop,

you should copy wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php to yourtheme/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

Note the path after the template pack is what we need to maintain. Once you override it, BuddyPress will use it form your theme.

Please do note that themes do not allow you to specify template pack while overriding template files, so if you override it for one template pack and then activate another, It can lead to a lot of issues.

My suggestion is to remove/rename the “buddypress” directory in your theme if you change the current template pack for BuddyPress.

Hope this helps.
