BuddyPress.org

I Just wanted to post this solution, as I spent a lot of time trying to find what was not working, because the /register/ page wasn’t loading after installing buddypress. In fact the problem was solved after enabling the mod_rewrite in Apache but in devian linux you have to follow this procedure to enable it also modifying the files suggested by this url:

Hope this helps more!

Didn’t you read the requirements? It states clearly it is compatible up to: WP 3.3.1, BuddyPress 1.5.3.1. So until @djpaul has plans or time to update the plugin then I suppose you should not use it if its not working for you. Otherwise if you have time deadlines and you know how to code then the source is there for you to tweak. Otherwise you may need to hire a developer if you can’t figure it out on your own. I am in big favor of using some code that disallows installing plugins on setups until the specific WP and BP versions fit what it has been tested to work with so it just will not install unless it meets all requirements. If anyone knows a way to handle this then I would like to be educated myself so I can employ it in plugins. I haven’t seen anything in the codex so any advice is good.

This small plugin makes all buddypress related pages private and redirects logged out visitors to the register page. Read the readme.txt and study the comments in the plugins private-community-for-bp.php if the default functionality does not meet your requirement then you can edit it to do so. Get it here:

Hi, BP group documents plugin now compatible with BP1.7 in beta version can be found on http://lenasterg.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/buddypress-group-documents-for-bp-1-7-and-wp-3-5-1/

So you know how to code a plugin that creates and handles cpts ?

Then something like this in the plugin class:

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', array( $this, 'bp_stories_tab' ), 5 );

// create the tab
function bp_stories_tab() {
		
	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
		'name' => __( 'Stories', 'bp-member-stories' ),
		'slug' => 'stories',
		'position' => 200,
		'screen_function' => array( $this, 'bp_stories_screen' ),
		'default_subnav_slug' => 'stories'
	) );
}	

// load template when  tab is clicked
function bp_stories_screen() {
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', array( $this, 'bp_stories_profile_screen' ) );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}

// show the stories screen
function bp_stories_profile_screen() { 
	// etc. 
} 

BP can’t do that out of the box.

You can extend it using custom post types.
No need to send them to wp-admin, they could create stories via a page within their profile.
Read and sort can be handled via the usual WP post functions, within or outside profiles.

See my response here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/terms-of-agreement-checkbox-for-registration/
You will need to write a page of your Terms Of Service and you can add a link in the profile field description that would link to that page. After you create the page just copy the permalink under the Title and then paste it into the field description. For example:

<a href="http://your-site/terms-of-service/">By checking the Terms Of Service Box you have read and agree to all the Policies set forth in this sites Terms Of Service</a>

Of course this is just an example. As far as making buddypress only visible after they register you can use the technique above in combination with this plugin:

Make you to read the readme.txt in this plugins folder as it has some info regarding forums.
Cheers!

Glad you got it sorted.

But ‘manage_options’ is a powerful cap.
I could see where you wouldn’t want to grant that cap to a custom role.

Now that you can explain the issue, I suggest you submit a bug.

Well sorry ‘Dude’ I wrote it took me a half day almost so think 1 minute spent looking for it and posting the link wasn’t too much to ask or expect 😉

Thanks dude! Realy helpful notice ^^

Documentation can be found here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

Try giving them the ‘bp_moderate’ capabilities.

It seems edit_profile checks to see if it’s your profile or whether
bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) || current_user_can( 'edit_users' )
so adding the ‘edit_users’ cap should work.

See bp_core_can_edit_settings() in bp-members-functions.php

It may not be a bug, but you could find out by submitting a bug
