BuddyPress.org

It switches between show / hide using CSS yes but scripting assigns that class. I doubt that would be causing an issue though. Could you provide a link to see your theme and the issue?

Hi,

It’s hard to see what you are so a link would be very helpful. However, one site isn’t the same as another. What I would recommend would be to make sure before you install BuddyPress you have a ‘clean slate’ in sense of turn off all other plugins and make sure you on activating BuddyPress have the default BuddyPress theme (just at the start).

If you could however if that doesn’t work, respond with what version of WordPress you are using and a link then perhaps more can be offered as help. Otherwise, unfortunately it’s hard to say what your situation is.

Links are added either by a plugin or by hooking into that menu.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-remove-and-add-items-in-bp_get_displayed_user_nav/ is quite a useful thread on adding to menus.

As for deleting the sidebar, that would need a link to see your theme before saying if something was going to work or not.

https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ is a great article on creating a custom language file. I’d suggest seeing if that works for you as think it will.

If we had a time machine to go back to 2007/08, and build BuddyPress using custom post types and custom taxonomies — which weren’t usable until 2010 — we probably would.

The core team talk regularly about how BuddyPress stores data and we may move to using post types or taxonomies in the future. We’ve also directly solicited feedback from the community about this issue in the past, so be sure to check out http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/custom-post-types-yesno/

This is what happens when Open Graph markup is not on a web page. You’re right to try plugins that provide Open Graph for WordPress, but I’m not aware of any plugins that provide Open Graph for the BuddyPress-specific pages.

If a plugin doesn’t work, you need to contact its author for support. You’ll be glad to learn we’ve added this into the 1.7 version of BuddyPress (which is still in development) so it will help in future.

You could use jQuery to check the value of the drop-down.

Otherwise, you will need to hook into BuddyPress’ validation hook. Perhaps this link will get you pointed in the right direction:

You will need to create a tab:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/6719/buddypress-adding-a-new-tab-in-groups

And then you will need to create an input field to populate the tab:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-add-fields-to-group-creation-with-group-extension-api-please-read/

Note that I have never done this, but hopefully those links will point you in the right direction.

I use https://bitly.com/ to shorten all my urls. With my free account, I track clicks as well . . .

I wonder if your issue isn’t the “if ($users_can_register)” conditional. Are you able to get anything to show up within that conditional? For example:

`
if ($users_can_register) :
DOES THIS TEXT SHOW UP?
endif;
`

Try this, is very helpful. http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/
If you want something like this http://vdoop.com, then have a look at this https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-i-customize-the-first-page. @mercime helped us very much.

Its not really a membership plugin. It turns your site into a social network where users can sign up get profiles, groups and discussion forums. There are many plugins that add additonal features.

Did you try this WordPress plugin, called “Social Login, Social Sharing and Social Commenting” – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/loginradius-for-wordpress/ ? Here is a demo Buddypress site with Facebook, Twitter login feature – http://buddypress.loginradius.com/

My activity stream isn’t including all the activity on http://www.Drawalot.com. I’ve created both custom posts and regular posts but neither are showing up in the stream. I turned off all the other plugins and switched back to the default buddypress theme but the actity still does’t show up.

I know I should probably make a separate forum topic, but somehow that feature has disappeared for me on this site. I can’t even make status updates. What’s up with buddypress.org?

You’ll probably need to work something using the primary_id & secondary_id, but think you are going to be limited in what degree of control you can get.

@kraigg you’re super welcome!

@modemlooper that is a daunting task when an admin has thousands of users. There should be a more automated way to accomplish this feat than manually doing all that. If that is what it takes then it will take a long long time to get the result your after and every time a a new user joins your site you will have to manually add their id again. That is just not logical!

Strange. I’m using Firefox 16.0.2, haven’t upgraded to latest prompt to do so
