Hello, I am currently trying to figure out what plugin to use in order to accomplish what I’m looking for.
I need two membership types, one paid and one free. I know I can do this with the members plugin. The rest of it is where I am kinda stuck on.
I need to be able to break the paid members down into several different categories and sub-categories. I would need to be able to display the paid members by these categories. So if someone looks under a top level category they would see everyone in that category, and when they look under a sub category they would only see services providers who offer that service.
I would also need the service provider to be able to choose what services they offer (sub-category) based upon their top category decision. So if they are in Category 1 they would get the options of of 123 while if they are in Category 2 they would get ABC.
The last thing I know I need is to be able to not allow the service providers to contact the free members unless they have been contacted first. I don’t want someone to join the site and then get a message from some pushy salesman who doesn’t want to take the time to create a basic profile and wait to be contact if someone needs their service.
So in basic what plugins am I needing for this or am I SOL on any of it with buddypress? Need be I can create my own script to do what I’m needing but I don’t develop inside WordPress so it would be a lot of extra work to do it myself, which is what I’m trying to avoid.
@thapharm
you have different choices to set up forums.
Sitewide forum (like bp.org)
Group forum
or both
Read here how to achieve this: https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
@skippyg,
you have to check if your WP is working correctly first.
You installed it in a subdirectory and this is bit more complex as the usual root install.
Please read here first: https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
and follow the given instruction.
@mshane8
The short answer is yes as long as your using BP 1.6 thru 1.7.1+
Read the documentation here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extended-profiles/
I have set up my forums through groups registered and I am realizing it is making it complicated for users to post. How can I go about and make a forum just like this one here on your buddypress site? I think it would work much better for our users.
Well, at least I know it is possible! I’ll have a look around for those instructions. Thanks.
Hi all,
searched high and low to what i believe should be easily resolved but haven’t as of yet.
wordpress 3.5.1
buddypress 1.7.1
So I have wordpress installed at http://www.mydomain.com/SITENAME/wordpress – using the montezuma theme which is apparently compatible with buddy press.
I download, installed and configured buddy press and can see the “activity” and “members”
menu items. However when i try to edit my profile or view mentions through the toolbar menu.. i get broken links… the URL for these links is (by default)
“SITENAME/wordpress/members/admin/profile/public/
NB. I did note that “members” does not appear under “SITENAME/wordpress/”
(Just to mention i haven’t changed anythign as of yet, just installed WP in the a domain sub folder and then installed buddypress)
I need to resolve this and would appreciate advice howto ?
I’m presuming i need to change a variable in a config file to point to
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-members ?? or something like that?
And yes i can change permalinks and have done that but no change.
Thanks a mil
Skippy
I have Buddypress 1.7.1 installed, Genesis 1.9.2 with the News child theme, I also have the Genesis connect plugin version 1.2.1.
I have my site set up so that anonymous visitors see a regular blog and som e tatic pages, but logged in users can access the buddypress features, (using S2member for this).
I would like to be able to change the way the navigation links look in my theme specifically for BP. Right now they look terrible, just as links. Here is a picture of what I currently have, and then of what I am more or less looking for.
My Current look
Something better
My question is, how do I do this? I am not a programmer, and I don’t expect anyone to teach me to program! Maybe someone could point me in the direction of the pertinent info and I can fumble my way through it?
Thanks
yeah idk maybe something is up with your network i have it enabled on only on the root site. works fine and shows up in the control list. pretty sure i read somewhere about network vs single site enabling for bbpress before in the documentation somewhere I’m 99.9% our situation is not a fluke maybe @jjj can settle it :/
Sorry, should have said first time round – I’m using a self-developed child of Buddypress Default theme. I only made a child theme because I needed some custom page templates for some non-BP related stuff. Everything BP-related is handled by BP Default.
I have tried it with the BP Default theme, and I have turned off all other plugins. I have even reinstalled the BP plugin.
I have now found the thing to turn the group forums (legacy) back on, but it makes no difference.
Thanks. Any thoughts or insights would be much appreciated.
@megainfo, You are the bomb. Thanks for this great plugin. I voted 5 star already.
Future suggestion,To make it look cleaner, may be just a padlock icon with a dropdown arrow to replace the word privacy: . So when you click on the padlock it then display all the privacy level. just a suggestion.
Thanks for your great work
Hi
1) Both WP(3.5.1) and BP(1.7.1) are latest Version.
2) It is the single wordpress site. But I have installed the site as subdirectory(Ex : http://domain.com/site) development server.
3) Theme Name : “optimizepress”
4) Plugins I have used in this site
Buddypress, bbpress, invite-anyone
Kindly suggest how to fix the redirect issue. I am waiting for your reply…
Thanks
Yes! in functions.php of your current theme.
Hi @megainfo
Which functions.php?
That of my theme or an other one?
Edit:
My theme’s functions.php says:
Don’t edit!
Hi @timvango,
Add this code to your functions.php (make sure using BuddyPress Activity Privacy 1.0.3 or +)
add_filter('bp_profile_activity_visibility_levels_filter', 'bp_remove_loggedin_activity_visibility_levels', 10, 1);
function bp_remove_loggedin_activity_visibility_levels($profile_activity_visibility_levels){
unset( $profile_activity_visibility_levels ['loggedin'] );
return $profile_activity_visibility_levels;
}
add_filter('bp_groups_activity_visibility_levels_filter', 'bp_remove_loggedin_groups_activity_visibility_levels', 10, 1);
function bp_remove_loggedin_groups_activity_visibility_levels($groups_activity_visibility_levels){
unset( $groups_activity_visibility_levels ['loggedin'] );
return $groups_activity_visibility_levels;
}
add_filter('bp_profile_activity_privacy_levels_filter', 'bp_remove_logged_in_profile_activity_privacy_levels', 10, 1);
function bp_remove_logged_in_profile_activity_privacy_levels($profile_activity_privacy_levels){
return array_diff($profile_activity_privacy_levels, array('loggedin'));
}
add_filter('bp_groups_activity_privacy_levels_filter', 'bp_remove_logged_in_groups_privacy_levels', 10, 1);
function bp_remove_logged_in_groups_privacy_levels($groups_activity_privacy_levels){
return array_diff($groups_activity_privacy_levels, array('loggedin'));
}
@megainfo
At first: Great plugin!
I have one question:
My whole site is only for members, so I want to remove the loggedin choice.
I have tryed some things, but when I remove something, I get an Syntax error…
What can I remove and what not?
Thank you
@buidinh1803
do you have already WP in vietnamese ?
Even if the page seems to be abandonned, read here for some advice about vi_VI po/mo
Home
WP translations are here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp
3.5.x in vietnamese is not translated for the moment, so you probably have to search for previous version. And 3.4 is only 79% translated
No luck too for bp vietnamese translation: nothing !
See here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/1.7.x
So you have to translate BP in your language, (read codex if you don’t know how to do that or search on this forum) then you have to add buddypress-vi_VI.mo into wp-content/languages/ folder
I use BuddyPress 1.7 more than a week, it was great, but I can not install Vietnamese language, please help me
Thanks. I have a use for Multisite Plugin Control, but it doesn’t solve the issue with bbPress because bbPress can *only* be activated across the network, and so it comes outside of Multisite Plugin Manager’s control.
Anyway, thanks again. I will be using the multisite plugin for other reasons!
@arumugamk WP/BP versions? Single WP site or multisite? If multisite, is BP activated in main site or subsite? Theme used? Plugins used?
@tomraff as of BuddyPress 1.7, BuddyPress Pages are rendered automagically in nearly all WordPress themes.
If you have activated the BP Template Pack plugin, deactivate it and delete the plugin.
If you already went through the Appearance > BP Compatibility process, you also need to delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your flare theme in server, i.e., delete /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members and /registration folders
@prettyhopeful
@modemlooper removed buddypress extended settings from the repo and made one premium plugin called BuddySuite that has more features than the plugin that was in the repo. I think this also covers adding the profile menu to the main nav as well You can get it here:
http://shop.taptappress.com/downloads/category/plugin/
For the private community you can get that here:
https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp
Cheers!
Resolved thanks to this post.
The Sub directory had capitals in it.
