Hello,
I’m trying to setup a plugin for which I should know the current user’s id and his/her friends ids in a single variable. It needs to be done using PHP so that I can put those variables in the shortcode.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance 🙂
Hi there,
I am not sure if this has already been answered so apologies if it has (I cannot find an answer). What i would like to do is remove some of the icons and menus from my BuddyPress profile page. Currently I have 6 buttons on the profile (‘Profile’,’Activity’,’Notifications’,’Friends’,’Forums’,’Settings’). These have sub menus as well, for example if I choose ‘Profile’, its submenus are ‘Home’, ‘View’, ‘Change Profile Picture’.
What I would like to do is remove everything but ‘Friends’, ‘Forums’ and ‘Settings’. Then I would like only “replies created” to be shown when the user clicks on the ‘Forums’ button. I am currently using bbPress within my site for the forums if that helps (I would add an image but I am having trouble doing so).
If anyone could help me with this or point me in the right direction to achieve what I would like that would be great!
Many thanks.
Hi @shanebp,
Am I missing something? I would have thought that would change the from address of all outgoing mail, not just notifications from BuddyPress?
I can’t really test $original_email_address because BP is not using a unique from address to start with.
But perhaps I’m confused about something?

I’m looking for a filter than can be used to change the “From” address that BuddyPress uses when sending notifications. Does anyone know if there is something like this?
Anonymous UserInactive
Hi @mike80222
By default just like the WordPress REST API, the BuddyPress one is active by default and is used into the UI to manage group members from the Group’s Administration & Management screens. If you want to disable the BP REST API, you need to use this filter into a bp-custom.php file for example:
add_filter( 'bp_rest_api_is_available', '__return_false' );
The buddypress rest api is not installed automatically (like the wordpress api) right?
So if I haven’t specifically installed the BP REST API then I can just update normally in my next scheduled site maintenance, correct? Just checking.
@peaco released a free plugin for activity link preview
BuddyPress messages are loading using Javascript. You can check for any errors by looking in your Javascript console. You can check this by going to the inbox page then right clicking anywhere on the page and selecting “Inspect Element” then selecting console from the new tabs that appear.
Hi Akstar,
Existing users will become BuddyPress users, however their BP profile information will be blank, ideally you’d add some code to force them to complete any extra items you have added such as https://github.com/buddydev/bp-profile-completion.
That’s pretty much the only difference.
Another feature you may want to think about is if you want the BuddyPress pages to be public or only available to logged in users. For that you would need a plugin, such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-private-buddypress/
Other than that it would be case of enabling the BP features you want for your site.
Hi,
thanks for the update.
I realized the date is wrong in the release post (March 16, 2019).
It’s not important, but just to inform you.
Best regards,
José Andrés
@apr0424 You can customize message and labels using language files

@patdunn You can create again manually and map them inside Setting >> BuddyPress

hello, good evening,
I am using buddypress with bbpress and I have a little problem: when I get a notification where a user mentioned me; I click on the notification and buddypress redirects me to my profile / activity / mention whereas I would like buddypress to redirect me directly to the post.
Does anyone have the solution?
Hello,
in all my buddypress pages in the header the title is only “<title>| name of website</title>.
It doesn’t show the title of the page before |.
In buddypress header.php is written <title><?php wp_title( ‘|’, true, ‘right’ ); bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?></title>.
And I use German language po file.
Have I missed something in the settings to make page title work?
Thanks

I have uninstalled buddypress and all the related add-ons, I have deleted all the pages and settings that were related, once I reinstalled buddypress the problem persists.
The profile page looks perfectly, however, the activity groups and members = ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
Please, I don’t know how to act
Hi,
In by BuddyPress I notice that I have everywhere “Name” filed listed twice. So new user during the registration will see required filed Name… and again required field Name, then First Name and Last name.
It looks ridiculous and looks like I can’t delete this field from the ‘profile fields’ page.

Hi, I’m new to BuddyPress and would like to know how to add a field (Prefix) to the name as displayed on the member directory page.
Wordpress version: 5.7
BuddyPress version: 7.2
Site: https://csdaustralia.com
I’m using the Nouveau template pack. I have already created a child theme and have been experimenting with members-loop.php and index.php. Not sure if I’m looking at the correct place.
Any advice much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You can use ftp or the hosts file manager to rename the buddypress folder which will disable the plugin, I’ve never uninstalled manually so can’t advise on further steps.
Standard themes are those supplied with wordpress, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, etc.
I may be wrong but from other threads this error is usually theme related so this would be the quickest way to test.
Also worth having a check through https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/ to ensure you’ve tried the things here, also are there any other errors in these log files or only what you have given above?
