BuddyPress doesn’t have a wall feature like how you think it does. You’ll need to check out a Wall plugin for BuddyPress, maybe http://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddyboss-wall/

Hi there,

http://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddyboss-reply-by-email/ this plugin lets your users communicate directly from their inbox.

If you rather want to just stop those emails completely, you can try the following code

add_action( 'messages_message_sent', 'unhook_messages_notification_new_message', 9 );
function unhook_messages_notification_new_message(){
    remove_action( 'messages_message_sent', 'messages_notification_new_message', 10 );
}

That should work.

You’ll need custom code for that.
For example: http://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddyboss-reply-by-email/

Thanks @danbp

That’s kind of like the BuddyBoss Media plugin we almost used.

BuddyBoss Media

It still has the problem of storing images on your server.

I wish I knew what they changed to make the old trick stop working. Maybe then I could reverse engineer it.

Which plugin did you use for the 2nd register page ?

WP need for any user, a username, an email and a password. That’s mandatory even if you have 2 or 50 register page.

If you use only BP’s default register page and add a select box where you can choose Teacher or Student, you can afterwards give teachers a role of editor. That’s do able with built-in member_type

Also, depending the role with help of conditionnal field plugin, you can show fields for teachers only, for students only or both.

Another solution would be to add manually the teachers directly from within the admin. Usually, a school has less teachers as students. This shouldn’t be to difficult to add 10 or 20 teachers. This can also be handy as you can give them a lower capability (ie author) and attribute “editor” to only one or two of them, which will be in charge of students registering and dispatching. So in fact, only students have to register from front-end.

Another alternative would be to use what’s described here.

You may want to look at creating member types. Then you could add the meta as a div class and style them via css:

If you don’t have the ability to code or hire someone that does you may want to try some of the member type plugins out there:

Regarding my caveat above (that BP activities were not showing up in the BP news feed of a non-admin user), I have discovered that two other plugins I have been using are effecting the behavior here:

1. BuddyBoss Wall: this is not breaking anything, but it does change what the activity stream looks like to the user. In particular, it adds a “news stream” view, similar to Facebook. So for anyone reading this later wondering what I meant by “news stream” above, that’s apparently a BuddyBoss Wall specific view.
2. BuddyPress Activity Privacy: It was when I disabled this plugin that the non-admin user started seeing the activity updates in his news feed as I would have expected. And I’m not saying that this plugin was breaking anything necessarily—could easily have just been some configuration mixup on my part. But it was time for me to remove this plugin anyway because it was adding unnecessary complexity to my site.

So removing the Activity Privacy plugin resolved the caveat. Scenario 4 is now working for me just as I need it to.

Look at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/ and https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bp-member-type-generator/ and http://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddypress-member-types/

if you are a non coder would suggest you look at this paid plugin

BuddyPress User Blog

does what u need

I have used buddyblog which requires BP simple front end post from the same developer and I have also used User Blog They have different interfaces but function similarly.

i think buddyboss people would help u more on this as its their theme

check this @daragott …. danbp has given live examples

2.2 Member Types – Setting user member types during registration (xProfile)

this is a paid plugin

BuddyPress Member Types

this is a free plugin by brajesh

BuddyPress Xprofile Member Type Field

just google “buddypress member types” this would be in top 10 results

Activity stream updates support oEmbed for popular sites you can see supported sites here https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#Okay.2C_So_What_Sites_Can_I_Embed_From.3F

If you want direct uploading on the activity stream there are a few plugin choices that exist. I think one is called RTMedia and there is also one from BuddyBoss.

With regard to activity posts going to the top on older items. I can’t help you with that at the moment, maybe someone else will come along.

@strothi – I’ve split your post into a new topic.

Regarding your error, I’m guessing it is a problem with the BuddyBoss Reorder Tabs plugin.

Can you confirm? If not, can you list all your BuddyPress plugins?

You can use BuddyPress Member Types Generator plugin to create members types.

Or use BuddyPress Member Types plugin, they have a bit different functionality. The 2nd one seems to have more features.

Different “Types of feeds” is not easily achievable, only with custom coding.

Custom login and registration pages – lots of solutions for custom login. Custom registration page is limited to BuddyPress, there is no plugin, that can do anything with it. You will need to dive into templating and custom styles.
