BuddyPress.org

There is still a problem though in that if I do this it stops any member who is not an admin level user accessing their profile page. Not sure why it should affect that- tried with just the activity conditional and it stops profile page access as well.

elseif (bp_is_current_component( 'members' ) || bp_is_current_component( 'activity' )) :
get_header('restrict');

I’m using a header-restrict.php which redirects them with this redirect at the very top of it:

<?php if(!current_user_can('delete_others_pages')) { wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; } ?>

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help Henry- I tried the is_page conditional but it does not work with the BuddyPress Pages.

So I tried bp_is_Page which worked, but was depecated.
Then I tried
bp_is_current_component( 'activity' ) || bp_is_current_component( 'members' )
and they work for what I want.

Thanks for your feedback it helped a lot 🙂

Thanks! It worked! I can´t believe that I spent almost four hours trying to figure this out and all I needed was to set the parent slug and url.

I moved the Buddypress member templates to my theme, inside a directory named Buddypress just because I needed to do some heavy tweaking. This way the templates stay with the main theme and since I uploaded BuddyPress from WordPress control panel, I don´t have permissions to make changes to the templates. I can use the internal wordpress plugin editor, but that would drive me crazy.

Do you think that moving the templates to the main theme is wrong? Is there a better way to make changes to the templates code? Buddypress template system is like ancient chinese to me.

Thanks again!

But wouldn’t I run into the same problem with every theme update? I don’t know code and don’t like diddling in it. Maybe I need to just hire a developer to resolve all my little issues. Does BuddyPress offer dev services? Where do I go to sign up? thanks

Sorry @funmi-omoba, I didn’t quite get your question, but here is the code I added to my functions.php based on earlier answers:

function my_add_friend_link_text($button) {
	switch ( $button['id'] ) {
		case 'pending' :
			$button['link_text'] = 'x Pending';
			$button['link_title'] = 'Cancel friend request';
			$button['link_class'] .= ' btn btn-xs btn-warning';
		break;

		case 'is_friend' :
			$button['link_text'] = '- Unfriend';
			$button['link_class'] .= ' btn btn-xs btn-danger';
		break;

		default:
			$button['link_text'] = '+ Friend';
			$button['link_title'] = 'Send friend request';
			$button['link_class'] .= ' btn btn-xs btn-success';
	}
	return $button;
}
add_filter('bp_get_add_friend_button', 'my_add_friend_link_text');

I’m changing the link text, changing the title, and adding additional classes (I’m using bootstrap and wanted the buttons styled the same as elsewhere, though that means deleting the generic button styling from buddypress.css)

Hope that helps.
