BuddyPress.org

but I can’t get the “Create Group” button to show

@gebgem the page title is missing as well. Looking at the Sample Page of your site, there was no page title added to the theme’s page.php file at all.

BuddyPress will provide another link/way for users to easily create a group/blog via user account menu in admin/toolbar in next version https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7062 but the page title issue should be fixed by theme developer.

@kkradel that is a sitewide notice created by the Super/Site Admin. There’s a JS conflict. To delete the message as Super/Site Admin: From your account at the admin toolbar, go to Messages > All Member Notices or from your profile page, go to Messages > Notices

@smartmwp
By default new users are set to subscriber’s so why did you have to set it?
Is the profile fields you want for registration placed in the base profile which shows up automatically on registration? If you added those fields to a new field group which is secondary then it only shows after the user has activated and logged in to their account and go’s to edit their profile in this secondary field you may have created.

I am using catalyst theme and I have added buddypress to it. I have also used BuddyPress Template Pack.

Not to rock the boat, but if you have BuddyPress 1.7+ activated in your site, you shouldn’t need to install/activate that BP Template Pack plugin anymore in most cases.

plugin or any modification that can insert the default user account in the sidebar and removes it from top bar while using my own theme?

I would create a child theme of the Catalyst theme and then copy over your catalyst theme’s sidebar.php into your child theme folder with the relevant login code from the BP Default theme’s sidebar.php. Activate the child theme.

hello
I have the same problem
I have deactivated bb and I receive the classic mail (user and admin)
With bb I don’t receive any mail or notification.

I add that the new user exist is created but if I try to login in with it the message is
ERROR: Your account has not been activated. Check your email for the activation link.

Hi All,

I’m having the same problem. I looked at Andy’s site and it looks like it is working now. I wonder how he got it resolved? I am trying to use the default registration page. I allow registration in wordpress’s Settings > General with the Suscriber role. I have the create account button displaying but it redirects to the homepage. I have not set up any redirects.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Tessie

wordpress buddypress and bbpress are all the same user accounts for any given site.

I believe I understood that the BuddyBar was being deprecated.

@jcollier BuddyBar had already been deprecated since BuddyPress 1.6. For reference see related tickets, specifically #3661 and #3596 You can also check out bp-members-adminbar.php with bp-members-buddybar.php in current BP 1.7 version //edit – Visitors who are not logged in shouldn’t be able to see member’s my account options.

Buddybar shown to all users, including a log-in/register link for new users

If you want BuddyBar back, you can create a bp-custom.php file, add following code, and upload to wp-content/plugins/ folder in server

`<?php
// Bring BuddyBar back
add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );
?>`

Please provide a username and password so we can login without having to create an account.

Do you have Private Messaging selected on the Components page under Settings -> BuddyPress ?

@panoravu,

you asked for any clean solution for my members to register without using a username.

Registering is a WP process who need a username and a email. Those 2 information are provided by the user at his first visit when he decide to subscribe to your site, OK ?

Now you wonder how FB or Google can connect without username ? They use it ! But don’t show it to you, but fill in the username at your place during the login process, which is not the registering process, WP search the stored username and find the accordance between this name and the email provided by FB or Gg.

On the same maner, if you create with help of a plugin a WP account with your FB account, FB provide a username and a email. The username and the email you give on registering to FB. Again, this is made silently in the background.

These subscription tricks have only one target: simplifying user’s life. Don’t imagine because you don’t see the whole process, that some information are not needed. In our case, you don’t see the username, but it is still there.

Ok so I managed to find a backwards way of doing it because I needed to be able to do the same thing. Your going to need two plugins.

1. Your Preferred Role Management Plugin. I like Capacity Manager Enhanced
2. Buddypress xProfiles ACL

STEPS
1. Use your role manager to create some new roles. Name them what ever you want.
2. Go into the Users -> Profile Fields
3. Create a Field Group for your Restricted Items (not the primary one).
4. Go to the Settings -> xProfile ACL
5. Put your Field Group that you only want the Admin to be able to edit for the admin only.
6. Now this is important you need to modify the xProfile ACL php file (yes I know this makes it a hack, if xProfile ACL is updated you will lose this setting.)
6a. Go to line 240 of the buddypress-xprofiles-acl.php file. Comment out lines 240 – 249, the code you are commenting out is:

`
function filter_xprofile_groups_with_acl() {
global $bp, $profile_template, $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
foreach($profile_template->groups as $key => $profile_group) {
if( ! in_array($profile_group->id, $this->user_allowed_xprofile_groups) ) {
unset($profile_template->groups[$key]);
}
}
}
`

6b. Below the code you just commented out add:
` function filter_xprofile_groups_with_acl() {}`

7. Save your changes to the buddypress-xprofiles-acl.php file.

8. Now when ever you need to modify the fields log in with your admin account navigate to the user profile in buddy press and select Edit Member Profile from the tool bar. You will see the fields from the private group. Users will see the fields but when they select edit they will not be displayed.

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem as you. Not only is the ‘create an account’ link problematic but also the ‘lost password’ link takes you away from the Bootstrap modal. I felt it was like a juggling act to get everything working together so opted to use the standard BP login and registration pages.

Be good to hear if anyone has a solution to radleaf’s post above.

is there any buddy press based website that i can check out fully using all the features or a full BP live demo?

@istvankob sure there is http://testbp.org/ where you can create an account and check out the default installation (BP trunk, bbPress trunk, on Twenty Twelve theme) as a regular member of the site.

Create an account on pastebin.com and create a new paste and provide the URL for the paste here. This forum doesn’t handle php code to well at the moment so you will have to do it on pastebin.

You’ll need to give us a little more detail than you have. That SC shows a BP user account screen and that’s saying that this user has no groups that they are a member of.  Have you any groups created? If you have groups created has this user joined any? Do your BP settings allow all users to create groups or just admins?

This looks to be a custom theme, have you tried bp-default theme ? Do you have a group create button on your groups directory?

could u make the support-account data invisible?

@shadow772 Do you mean the test user account and site URI you posted above? Done.
