Hello everyone. Thank you for reading this.
I have a question. Is it possible to use a different page for my profile page?
At this moment when I click on my name (when logged in) it brings me to a page, but I want to change this to another page. How can I do this? Is this possible?
My apologies if it is possible and really easy. This is my first time using BuddyPress on my website.
Thanks in advance peeps!!
@galawa Greetings, I haven’t had time to look over these, but figured it may be worth sharing. I was searching earlier today and came across one that was said to be the best chat plugin; however 100 tabs of browsing later and I can find it 🙁
I have tried a few plugins that this site recommends and they have been helpful: http://www.designrazzi.com/2013/free-wordpress-chat-plugins/
Just a second option; haven’t tried any:

I’m still working out some basic BuddyPress issues so please let me know which one works the best for you. Hope this helps and thanks

@harpeml what would you be using it for? You could check out how TinyMCE’s added to screen at https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-docs/
I’ve manually re-created the bp_get_options_nav because it’s a too dynamic and clunky piece of code.
Now I’ve made a simple HTML nav-list of each group component and added some PHP code between to print the ‘bp_group_permalink’ / [component-name] / but I only need to find a way to check IF a user can moderator this current group or is admin, if thats TRUE –> print the HTML list of the [admin component ] IF FALSE do nothing and hide this HTML list.
I would like to have the same conditional statement for the [ send-ivites ] component that checks if a user can invite friends because he’s logged-in + member of this group.
<nav class="item-list-tabs no-ajax nav-centered">
<ul class="button-group radius">
<li><a class="button" href=""><i class="fi fi-root-groups"></i></a></li>
<li><a class="button" href="<?php bp_group_permalink(); ?>"><i class="fi fi-home"></i></a></li>
<li><a class="button" href="<?php bp_group_permalink(); ?>members/">Members</a></li>
<li class="group-btn-select item-list-tabs no-ajax">
<ul>
/*** select filter stuff here ***/
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class="button" href="<?php bp_group_permalink(); ?>send-invites/"><i class="fi fi-megaphone"></i></a></li>
<?php do_action( 'bp_group_options_nav' ); ?>
<li><a class="button" href="<?php bp_group_permalink(); ?>admin/edit-details/"><i class="fi fi-wrench"></i></a></li>
<li><a class="button" href="<?php bp_group_activity_feed_link(); ?>" title="<?php _e( 'RSS Feed', 'buddypress' ); ?>"><i class="fi fi-rss"></i></a></li>
</ul>
</nav>

How can I make those conditionals on list number 5 and 6.
Thanks.
@nowton right, I see! If you find a page is in need of updating you can help out by flagging the page. See ‘flagging articles’ in https://codex.buddypress.org/participate-and-contribute/codex-standards-guidelines/
The Codex is being overhauled and updated regularly which may account for the broken links you’re seeing. This is the page you were probably looking for:
Template Tag Reference
http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/ as being referenced all over the site and web, 404’s. This makes developing extremely hard, with documentation being as sparse as it is. Thanks for any help.
@1missrodnee with rtMedia (used to be called BuddyPress Media) you can upload audio files and have them play on your profile. https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/
Hi, total newbie..i was wondering if it is possible to connect buddypress/wordpress to a backend service provider like kinvey. Thanks
@federcolombo check out Boone’s code at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4677 and as Boone mentioned in trac ticket, you’d probably need to adjust styling with the removal of those avatars
@rastarr I recall some code you can add instead of the plugin posted in same Buddydev.com site in an old post http://buddydev.com/buddypress/stealth-mode-for-buddypress-site-admin-plugin/
Haven’t tested/used it, at least change is_site_admin to is_super_admin.
Also if plugins_loaded doesn’t work, try bp_loaded
@shubh14 It could be plugin conflict with the theme. The best place to ask for assistance is at the plugin’s forums. https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-media
For CSS – Add the following to your theme stylesheet and change it to whatever color you want
#buddypress a.activity-time-since {
color: #aaa;
text-decoration: none;
}
#buddypress a.activity-time-since:hover {
color: #888;
text-decoration: underline;
}
The “1 day, 1 hour ago” text is coming from \plugins\buddypress\bp-activity\bp-activity-template.php line 1332
$time_since = apply_filters_ref_array( 'bp_activity_time_since', array( '<span class="time-since">' . bp_core_time_since( $activities_template->activity->date_recorded ) . '</span>', &$activities_template->activity ) );
However, It’s not recommended to change core files. And I have no idea how to do it externally. Hope this helps
All the details can be found at the link I provided above, but essentially it utilizes PhoneGap which allows you to write in HTML, CSS, and JS. You can submit your code to App Store and Play store. I am writing the plugin needed to communicate with the application and the application that will be submitted to the store. With both of these pieces you will be able to have a mobile application in both stores and directly communicates with your WordPress/Buddypress website.
Hi guys,
I am new to Buddypress and am trying to create a social network with multi tierd login (one for free members and some extra benefits for supporters). Does anybody know how to do this?
In the Plugins section I’ve seen two plugins that work with BuddyPress.
Catalog + Pets the last one can also be used for everything else you just have to change the idea of Pets to some other subject.
True, but I was thinking of using the FitText.js plugin to prevent usernames from going to a second line when they become longer at this index page.
While working with min-heights on each element I try to control each member ‘widget’ having the same overall height.
I would like to use BuddyPress as an upgrade (redesign) of an exciting bbPress site that has been broken from upgrading from bbPress 1.0 -> 2.0.
This site offers news articles, video + audio Post Formats and support trough bbPress but has grown into some very active ‘online-public-bar’ where people like to post a lot of Off Topic stuff mainly on the forum-side of the of the website while the homepage (news) is often overlooked.
Using the Groups section for all Off Topic forum discussions and use the bbPress forums module only for real On Topic support would make this website more social and getting more people involved though the Activity-stream.
Plus I could make a custom audio-postformat (Podcasts) query on the BP Groups page to list all latest Podcasts.
Redesign of the Groups section. Replacing the Avatar for an icon that will be the same through the entire site and people will recognize it as Off Topic stuff.
Maybe the font-size, spacing and coloring is still a bit off but I’ll look at this at the end, right now it using the Global styles.

I was looking to use Buddypress for a site where people can post their DVD collection. I did find catalog but then the users will have to upload the dvd cover art which I’d like to have done automatically – maybe based off the imdb link or something.
Any suggestions?
Ok I’ll have a look and test each option. My preference is to hide both the admin bar and dashboard (as I would think most people would want to), but I will look at those plugins.
Going forwards I would suggest a lot of people would be happier with BP if normal users could run through all functions with ever seeing the admin bar or dashboard.
Thanks,
Paul.
Nope, that didn’t fix it.
BuddyPress and bbPress are not network activated.
If I delete a group from one site, it is deleted from all other sites at the same time 🙁
Any suggestions?
P.S. I’m new to BuddyPress
I have a new install of bbPress and BuddyPress.
I followed the “Getting Started” instructions and set up a few main forums without any difficulty.
Then, following the instructions for setting up a group forum, I created a group called “Committee members”.
However, that group now appears in the dashboard of the other sites in the MultiSite network.
BuddyPress is not network activated.
Ahhh! I think I might have found the problem. bbPress is Network Activated. I’ll change that and see what happens.
