BuddyPress.org

Hello,

I’ve searched the internet and this forum in particular for a couple of hours but could not find a proper workaround for this issue:

As you know, BuddyPress setup works by creating two blank pages – members and groups. If I type in a meta description in Yoast for both and preview the pages, the description text is added to the page header and gets properly displayed in the page source text.

But as soon as I assign the two pages to the BuddyPress plugin, the description gets stripped completely. In the page source appears an author note that a description needs to be added.

I could live with that, but I urgently need to make my members page and all its related members profile content invisible to search engines. The severe problem is, that the Yoast settings „noindex, nofollow“ are stripped too.

The BBpress Forum page is not affected by this issue. Yoast can apply a meta description and the „noindex, nofollow“ command, which is a good thing.

Can someone please help me out with a solution?

Thanks in advance,
Martin

Is there a way to write a shortcode that can be used by users who enter it into their activity stream? I don’t want them to be allowed to access all of the shortcodes. Just this one.

Id like to put it in BuddyPress, BBPress, Activity Streams, Groups, etc.

Thanks

Hi ! Here’s my problem : when I post something on the wall from a group, the post fails to be published and I just get this message : “Invalid post type”. My website was created 10 days ago and there’s nobody on it (that’s why I was trying to create content) so I don’t know about how this goes for the very few users I have. Kind of a pain, since the posts just completely disappear to let this message appear. I checked my settings and I could not find any parameter controlling some “Post Types”.

Hi use WP version 5.0.3, installed straight from Softaculous on Siteground, so probably as a directory. Unless the updates are automatic in WordPress, I don’t think I upgraded WP from 5.0.2 since I started creating my site later than the release of the latest version of WP. I had no issues with WP before downloading BuddyPress and I only had one problem after I had : weird display of messages with some code visible in some places of the page. I didn’t get to test much though since the site is very recent. I’m running BuddyPress Version 4.1.0. I didn’t upgrade it since I created the site. I have many plugins activated. Here’s the full list : Antispam Bee; bbp style pack; bbpress Version 2.5.14; BP Better Messages; BuddyDrive; BuddyPress Create Group Types; BuddyPress Follow; BuddyPress Global Search; BuddyPress Member Type Generator; BuddyPress Security Check; Contact Form 7; Events Manager; Flamingo; Footer Putter; GEO my WP; Loginizer; Nested Pages; Orbit Fox Companion; Post Types Order (supposed to deal with order?); SG Optimizer; Sitewide Newsletters; Super Progressive Web Apps; Query Monitor (recently downloaded, after noticing the problem); The GDPR Framework; TranslatePress – Multilingual; Wordfence Security; WP Statistics; Wpworx FAQ; YellowPencil Pro; Yoast SEO; Youzer. I have a few other installed but deactivated plugins. I am using the theme Orfeo by ThemeIsle, a child theme from Hestia if I remember correctly. I didn’t modify the core files and I don’t think I have custom functions.
I don’t know what system my server is running.

Thanks in advance ????

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to change/translate some BuddyPress slugs and came across this aging URL:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

At the bottom of the page I followed these instructions, created a bp-custom.php and copied it in wp-content/plugins:

To change slugs on the sub nav on a member page add these defines to a file bp-custom.php and place this file in /plugins/bp-custom.php

define( ‘BP_SETTINGS_SLUG’, ‘settings’ );
define( ‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘profile’ );

The problem is, if I change the term ‘settings’ to anything else, my profile menu completely disappears and I get a 404 warning.

Is this code still viable? I have Buddypress and bbPress installed and using a KEO child theme. I am on a tight schedule to launch my site, so any suggestions that help me out are really appreciated.

Regards,
Martin

I have BuddyPress 4.1.0 and bbPress 2.5.14 installed on a WordPress 5.0.3

I already tried resetting the permalinks. I have not tried disabling and re-enabling all other plugins. I’m hoping it’s a simple fix.

I am having URL Rewrite issues.
This URL works and gets me to a page which lists all groups/my groups.
//example.com/groups/

For testing, I log in as a user having the wp ‘subscriber’ role who is a member of one of the private groups listed.

I click on the group to which the user is a member and it takes me here:
//example.com/groups/regenerative-farming-discussion/forum/

This is good. This is where I want the user to be. But on this page, the user has the ability to see how many other members are in this group and clicking the ‘members’ button should take the user to a page that lists only the members of that group. When I hover over the members button, the URL that displays is
//example.com/groups/regenerative-farming-discussion/members/

but when I click on the members button, the URL I am taken to is
//example.com/members/

which is a page that lists ALL the members. NOT what I want.

Similarly, if I’m logged in as a user and I go to the Members page (//example.com/members/), and I click on a member’s name, I’m taken to the member’s page:
//example.com/members/member_name/

I see that this member belongs to 2 groups. I want to know which ones, so I should click on the tab that says “Groups (2)” to see which two groups the person belongs to. When I hover over that tab, the URL displayed is
//example.com/members/member_name/groups/

but when I click on it I am taken here instead
//example.com/groups/

which lists all the groups. NOT what I want.

What can I do to fix the errant rewriting of these URLs?

Hi,

i’m using bbPress und Buddypress with my Theme Enfold an WooCommerce.

Everything is fine, but when a want to login to the forum i cam to the Startpage of my Website, not direct into the forum.

Now i have to navigate to the forum page again to get into.

Nice would be to be automatically on the forum page after login.

How can i fix this?

Thank you for helping!

Hello guys,

I hope you can help. I want to split my Website permanently in 2 parts. The red part on the picture is for the bbpress forums, and the right part is for buddypress. If i press some buttons on buddypress, the other part shouldn´t be affected. So both screens are visible on each page permanently.

Any ideas?

All are up to date.
Wordpress theme is Vogue.
I’ve not modified the core files in any way that I’m aware of.
No custom functions that I’m aware of.
I do not know how to do .php coding.
I do not have any errors that I am aware of and could not run the check from the tutorial as it didn’t work. Again, do not know .php code.
Current website has been removed from online and is on a private server/localhost. This will change soon as the new site is finished.
Windows.
No BuddyPress theme chosen so maybe default theme selected?
No idea if I overloaded any buddypress template files.

Posting above per the “When asking for support” sticky.

I have two problems. The first is that I don’t have a way for users to create groups using the BuddyPress groups system. I can only create groups manually by selecting “Groups” > “Add New” in the dashboard. I do not wish to cater to 100’s of requests for groups, and would like users to have freedom of creation. “Anyone can register” is selected. “User Groups” is selected.

As of right now, my site has a “Social” menu option with sub-menu of all the BuddyPress items. If I click on “Groups” in the sub-menu, I DO NOT get an option to create groups. However, if I click on the main menu “Social,” and look at the right side where my “Groups” widget is, I can click on groups, and get a new page that has a “Create New Group” option that allows anyone to create.

Ok, so why not just add the widget to all the BuddyPress pages? I did. They won’t load. The only way people can add groups is if they go through this widget. Which leads me to my second problem; I am not able to add that widget anywhere else on the website. It will not load on any other of the BuddyPress pages/sub-menu options. In fact, nothing will load.

This was the result of adding “Content Aware Sidebar” plug-in, because I was not able to get website widgets OFF BuddyPress pages even when selected to be off those specific pages. Now, I have removed my main-site widgets from BuddyPress pages, but can’t get BuddyPress widgets on BuddyPress pages. Boy, I hope that was clear.

If I remove “Content Aware Sidebar” (or deactivate it), everything goes back to the way it was. Main website widgets that I don’t want on BuddyPress pages will load on BuddyPress pages, but so will the BuddyPress widgets.

How do I get my BuddyPress widgets to load AND prevent my other widgets from loading on BuddyPress-only pages? Or can I manually insert a “Create Group” link inside the “Groups” page, preferably next to “Invitations” and “Memberships?”

I believe the problem lies with both the “Content Aware Sidebar” plugin and “Widget Options,” which is the one I used to be able to manually select pages. It worked perfectly until BuddyPress was installed. Now, I can’t get choices over BuddyPress-only widgets, but I can get widgets to load at will anywhere else on the site.
