BuddyPress.org

1. In BuddyPress, we by default get to see member page. I want to know how to redirect someone who is logging in/ new user after registration to News feed?

search for login redirect plugins for buddypress

2. I want to keep those wall, timeline and all in menu bar instead of profile tab. How to do that?

check wp admin bar codex or associated plugins

3. I am unable to hide admin bar/ that WordPress logo bar for non-admin user. no plugin helping me out.

am aware of atleast 2 plugins which are working for me. u need to test/check which ones work with ur theme/setup

4. how to make the menu such that signed in user can see log out button and other sign in/ register?

via buddypress components in the menus. logged in and logged out menu links

5. how to enable realtime notification and instant messaging private n groups both?

notification is already there and its real time. i belive there is a group chat plugin for buddypress as well

6. how to remove show dropdown menu in profile

that would depend on ur theme which u are using

PS:- I don’t know PHP much. moreover, I cannot afford to hire someone.

then this would take much time and effort to customise it as per ur needs

start from here

Configure BuddyPress

@masoud1111,

thank you for your appreciation. And sorry for my confusion about setting > general. That’s traditionnally the path used on admin dashboard. In regard of the picture, it’s the mandatory wp registration email field. This part is on your-site/members/USERNAME/settings.

The template file you can modify is members/single/settings/general.php
In that file is a form who contains a label and a input type for “email”. To hide, you could add a conditionnal for admin’s only.

For example, before both label and input lines, add

<?php if(is_super_admin() ): ?>
   <label>bla
   <input>bla
<?php endif; ?>

To be complete, you may want to show message to explain about the email field. In that case, add something like following above:

<?php if ( !is_super_admin() ) : ?>
<p>Ask site admin if you want to change your email address.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

@5high Yep! You’re right. The form is now build separately. To hide it conditionnaly, it’s much easier as previously.

What you have to do from now on, is to add a condition on the template part call.

The form template file is post-form.php (activity/post-form.php)

On each activity template (swa, members, groups,…), there a call to this file. bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

To solve your problem, you have just to add the condition you want for this call.

In your case, as you want to disallow the form only on swa and on member’s activity, you modify
child-theme/buddypress/activity/index.php (site wide activity) and child-theme/buddypress/members/single/activity.php (profile activity)

For example i hide the form to any user except site admin by using:

if ( is_user_logged_in() && is_super_admin() )
	bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

Hope to be clear ! 😉

Give this a try: (add to bp-custom.php) 1) & 2):

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'messages', 'compose' );
	}
	
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

3) With BP and xprofile component activated, a user doesn’t need access to WP dashboard. He can change his profile credentials from front-end.
Easiest way would be to use this plugin.

Retrieving them the possibility to change their email is anyway not a good idea. What happen when a user changed from yahoo to gmail, but can’t login because he lost his password ? Where will the new pwd be sent ?

Perhaps you have also to remove this from the BP usermenu on toolbar ?
Here’s how you can do it:

function admin_bar_remove_this(){
global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-messages-compose');
}
add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render','admin_bar_remove_this');

You mean group admins?

I don’t think group admins can leave a group.

To remove the ability to delete groups for everyone except site admins, try:

function janhart_remove_group_admin_tab() {
	if ( ! bp_is_group() || ! ( bp_is_current_action( 'admin' ) && bp_action_variable( 0 ) ) || is_super_admin() ) {	
		return;
	}

	// Add the admin subnav slug you want to hide in the following array
	$hide_tabs = array(
		'delete-group' => 1,
	);

	$parent_nav_slug = bp_get_current_group_slug() . '_manage';

	// Remove the nav items
	foreach ( array_keys( $hide_tabs ) as $tab ) {
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $parent_nav_slug, $tab );
	}

	// You may want to be sure the user can't access
	if ( ! empty( $hide_tabs[ bp_action_variable( 0 ) ] ) ) {
		bp_core_add_message( 'You are not allowed to delete this group.', 'error' );
		bp_core_redirect( bp_get_group_permalink( groups_get_current_group() ) );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'janhart_remove_group_admin_tab', 9 );

The capabilities you want to adjust are not related to WP roles.

Yeah it’s possible 🙂 (assuming that the bit you are talking about is the one im thinking of haha).

Two methods:

1. CSS

li#wp-admin-bar-site-name {
    display: none;
}

2. Add this to functions.php file

function remove_site_name( $wp_admin_bar ) {
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'site-name' );
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'remove_site_name', 999 );

Both will hide the word for both ALL users including admins (I prefer the second but its up to you).

If you want to leave the word Pretitude there for admins only to access the dashboard then adding an if statement into the function (similar to the one in the remove_admin_bar() function) should work.

Hope it works!

Try:

function bpfr_hide_admins_profile() {

	if( bp_is_user() )
            if ( bp_displayed_user_id() == 1 && bp_loggedin_user_id() != 1 ) 
		bp_core_redirect( home_url() );

}
add_action( 'wp', 'bpfr_hide_admins_profile', 1 );

This might help (change ID from 1 in the appropriate places to the ID of your administrator(s). ID’s found in your database ):

Hi,

You can use the code from buddydev. You just have to change one single thing

<?php
//filter on pre_user_query
add_action( 'pre_user_query', 'devb_exclude_loggedin_user', 201 );

function devb_exclude_loggedin_user( $query ) {
    // code below we do not need
    //don't modify the query if the user is not logged in
    // if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    //    return;

    //do not hide users inside the admin
    if ( is_admin() && !defined('DOING_AJAX') )
        return;
    $qv = $query->query_vars;

    global $wpdb;
    //hide little change at the end of the query.I changed it to user_id : 1
    // but userID can be anything. I chose 1 because that is my admin user_id
    $query->query_where .= $wpdb->prepare(" AND {$wpdb->users}.ID !=%d ", 1 );
}
?>

Hide Admin Bar Toolbar is what I used. I’m still trying to link my buddypress with my bbpress not going over well. LoL Hope this helps.

All fields that are in the first Base fields groups will appear on registration page.
So you can just move those fields to another fields group, that you can create on this page /wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup using this link http://cosydale.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup&mode=add_group.

Another option

Find the ID of a field that you want to hide in admin area (when you edit the field it’s in the URL like this /wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup&group_id=1&field_id=2&mode=edit_field = field_id=2 is what you need), make sure that this field is NOT required, then open style.css of your theme and add there something like this:
#profile-details-section.register-section .editfield.field_2 {display:none}
For reference: http://take.ms/lONUD

I know the plugin doesn’t address my issue but keeps BuddyPress for members only and hide it from non-logged in users. Privacy is very important to our members. I will upload the members that are truly members from a csv file from a list that is provided for me and give the Contributor Role. What I meant by subscriber is the “Subscriber” Role (vs Contributor, Author, Editor, Administrator).
I’m sorry I haven’t expressed myself well and now off topic. I was just trying to provide a solution for making pages private.

The above is wrong – unless you are using the bp-default theme – not recommended.

‘Hide’ the Create a Group link by turning it off in Groups Settings > Group Creation
.../wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings

This in you function php hides it from everyone but admins

//Removes BuddyBar from non-admins only
function splen_remove_admin_bar() {
	if( !is_super_admin() ) 
		add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
add_action('wp', 'splen_remove_admin_bar');

Is that what you mean?

Try

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;
	 /**
	 * class_exists() & bp_is_active are recommanded to avoid problems during updates 
	 * or when Component is deactivated
	 */

	if( class_exists( 'bbPress' ) || bp_is_active ( 'groups' ) ) :

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() && !bp_is_my_profile() ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'groups' );
	}
	endif;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

@paragbhagwat,

try this:

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;
	 /**
	 * class_exists() & bp_is_active are recommanded to avoid problems during updates 
	 * or when Component is deactivated
	 */

	if( class_exists( 'bbPress' ) || bp_is_active ( 'groups' ) ) :

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() && !bp_is_my_profile() ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'groups' );
	}
	endif;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );
