Jobs and businesses are not in the buddypress coding.

If you meant business as in a user profile administrating different capabilities like regular posts, custom posts and Buddypress groups, then WordPress itself has the means.

You can upgrade any user account as a site administrator to become, for example, an editor or author with more capabilities than a normal account.

In a Buddypress group you can manage who’s the groups administrator inside the group under “manage”.

Look at the bp-templates as pre-made themes for Buddypress pages. You can figure out what you’re currently using through your WordPress dashboard > settings > buddypress > options > template pack.

Legacy was the old templating system for Buddypress and a lot of websites still use it. Other new Buddypress installations use Nouveau which is now the default.

So in short, they’re not removing legacy due to many sites still using it, bp-default is there as a fallback should the other two fail and Nouveau is the current templating system for Buddypress.

You can find some answers here:

update group activities just for admins

Keep in mind you’re using Youzer which is overriding a lot of the standard buddypress plugin’s templates, so you’d probably be better off asking in the Youzer forum.

Unless you have a theme or another custom plugin already overriding it somewhere else, here’s where you’ll find it inside the Buddypress plugin.

Legacy
buddypress > bp-templates > bp-legacy > buddypress > groups > single > members.php

Nouveau
buddypress > bp-templates > bp-nouveau >buddypress >groups > single > members-loop.php

profile field
<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'profile field name', bp_get_member_user_id() ); ?>

Remember to override the template with your own in your theme so plugin updates doesn’t override your changes.

@joaopaulodr copy page.php as buddypress.php inside the child theme.

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

@samhaddad85 you can use Learndash/LifterLMS with BuddyPress, and for chat comet chat, it offers group chat features.

@yassni BuddyPress does not offer a customized login page, you can log in widgets in the sidebar, or can create a branded login page there are couple of free plugins for it.

@jluisrioja
You can use the following code inside the child theme, it will add a timestamp for all users
remove code once all member starts displaying in your member list.

function buddypress_add_last_activity() {
  $members =  get_users( 'fields=ID' );
  foreach ( $members as $user_id ) {
        bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id, bp_core_current_time() );
  }

}
add_action('bp_init', 'buddypress_add_last_activity' );

Thank you!

– You cannot run BuddyBoss Platform and BP at the same time. BuddyBoss is a fork of BuddyPress and shares a lot of the same underlying code, so they cannot run at the same time.

– These are the themes available: https://www.buddyboss.com/themes/
“BuddyBoss Theme” is for BuddyBoss Platform.
Boss 2.0 and OneSocial are actually for BuddyPress.

I know it’s a bit confusing, but long term our product stack is basically just BuddyBoss Platform and BuddyBoss Theme which is actually very simple. We’re not making any new BuddyPress themes. The goal is to have everything you need out of the box from us with one plugin, one theme. That way we can focus all of our efforts on updating that product stack and just make it really awesome. We are adding more options over time to make the theme really flexible with layouts, especially via Elementor, so that people can take that one theme and make it look like anything.

BuddyBoss Platform (our version of BuddyPress) is free, including updates. The platform includes all of the social functionality, while the theme is purely for layout and is optional. You do pay for the theme, just as you would pay for a nice BuddyPress theme. You can also build your own theme, or use some generic free theme from the WordPress themes repo if you prefer.

@hochingj Thanks!
