Hi,
I am using Thrivecart and Wishlist member to create members for my buddypress membership site.
I can’t seem to stop this from making the users email address immediately public, it shows as the name in profile menu – and also @mentions, and is in their profile url.
While I have workarounds – and can hide this information using CSS, I would prefer for the system to pick firstname or fullname as the profile name.
How do I achieve this? .. as users will be concerned at keeping email address private.
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi
How can I add code to my functions.php to create a button (or text link) displayed on a woocommerce product page to send a Private Message to the buddypress member/author who upload the product?
The site is using a multi-vendor plugin, WCFM, to create/publish the products.
Thanks in advance.
By the way, I’m not sure why a half-core WordPress plugin like Buddypress, is not using wp_mail like his brother BBPress I was thinking if this could be a good patch to be considered in the future?
The @corsi159 solution worked for me…
Same issue with no HTML mails and all that 🙁
I will have to set up the mail service in the server in order to use the default buddypress mail function…
I can confirm that Buddy press is not compatible out of the box with WP Mail SMTP plugin.

Hi!
We are using BuddyPress with theme KLEO and PaidMembershipsPro for a platform where experts can present themselves including links to their social media profiles, any work they have published, etc. This is our site’s members section (but you’d have to log in to see full profiles): https://www.globalwomennet.org/members/
To make sure visitors viewing profiles do not leave our site, we’d like these external links in the members’ profiles to open in new tabs. I could only find an over 8 years old topic related to my question (https://buddypress.org/support/topic/make-drop-down-menu-links-open-in-new-page/) so I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this by now?
Thanks!

Template Hierarchy
The Codex page above says clearly, that if I put a front.php page in /buddypress/members/single/ … it should be picked up. Also, if I have a member type, all I have to do is this:
/buddypress/members/single/front-member-type-{member-type}.php
But none of the above are working. It always uses home.php … any idea why? What am I doing wrong?
How is Buddypress rank added?
Wordpress:5.3
BuddyPress: 1.0.359
I am creating an online platform for a client where i use BuddyPress and gamipress. I want users to be moved from one group to another when the user earns a certain number of points .

Hi,
I found the code to hide comments in the activity stream. Adds an additional button (show / hide comments)
How can I add the number of comments for the current post?
I have something like that made by @shay1383
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'add_comment_hide_show' );
function add_comment_hide_show() {
?>
<style>
.activity-comments ul li[id^="acomment-"]{display: none;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
setInterval(function() {
$('.activity-meta').each(function() {
if( !$(this).find('.show-comments').length ){
var html = '<a href="#" class="button bp-primary-action show-comments">Show/Hide Comments</a>';
$(this).find('.button.acomment-reply').after(html);
}
});
}, 500);
$('body').on('click', '.show-comments', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var obj = $(this).closest('.activity-content').next('.activity-comments').find('ul li[id^="acomment-"]');
obj.slideToggle();
return false;
});
});
</script>
<?php
}
For comments button, the number of commentators is displayed by:
<a href="<?php bp_activity_comment_link(); ?>" class="button acomment-reply bp-primary-action" id="acomment-comment-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'Comment %s', 'buddypress' ), '<span>' . bp_activity_get_comment_count() . '</span>' ); ?></a>
But if I use it, the same number of comments appear under each post. How to make it work?
hi , i have buddypress and gravity forms installed.
when viewing another member’s profile, there will be contact form, friends can fill the form and submit a message to that member.
OMG, after hours of tracking the bbpress code I’ve finally found the culprit
The MOST stupid thing I’ve seen ever and is not even fault of Buddypress but BBpress!!!!
For some reason, some illuminated coder decided that the site should be “indexable” in order to admit both BuddyPress notifications or mentions.
So essentially I had the
“Discourage search engines from indexing”, ticked off…
I cry everytime
Disabled just buddypress leaving bbpress enabled and tried bbpress notifications (on reply) and worked flawlessly…
I’m missing something, maybe buddypress activity db has been corrupted? Any way to turn on max debug on buddypress?
By the way, I’ve run all 4 tasks in the Tools section
(Also I’m running on a custom VPS, so no issues possible with email limitations)
hi , how can i add meeting request to buddypress
i wan’t the user to send simple request, the admin approve it , then the other member can accept or refuse. is there any plugin to do that or can you give me code or is there any core function?
and thank you
Removed both buddypress and bbpress folders and redownload them, and nothing
Also I’ve noticed that email notifications are not working for any users, although other plugins notificacions like Gamipress work right.
But the weirdest thing is that reply notices are working right (in-site not email ones)
Checking buddypress code, I see that there is a filter that controls this:
function bp_activity_do_mentions() {
/**
* Filters whether or not mentions are enabled.
*
* @since 1.8.0
*
* @param bool $enabled True to enable mentions, false to disable.
*/
return (bool) apply_filters( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', true );
}
But bp_activity_do_mentions has not been modified anywhere in the code (I’m using core default twenty twenty + just buddypress and bbpress)
I’ve also tested the function bp_activity_do_mentions() in the functions.php and it is returning true.
This is incredibly weird.
I’ve installed a test site with just Buddypress + BBpress and did a mention and it worked fine.
Then in the site where mentions are not working, I have disabled ALL plugins and put Twenty Twenty theme and tried again, and it doesnt work 🙁
I have checked the apache2 error log and nothing there
Also activated the WP_DEBUG but nothing…
Mindblowing.
It is like the at_mention hook is not being fired…
The email notification for mentions is not firing either
What could I be missing here?
Hello,
I think my question would go here, although there have been some core updates since this posting. I will try to describe what I have and what I am trying to accomplish in detail in order that you can help me.
–I have multisite installed with a buddypress supported theme.
–I’d also like to use the YOUZER plugin (although not absolutely necessary).
–Subsites have woocommerce stores.
–Woocommerce accounts can be integrated with buddypress accounts (with varying plugins i.e. MyCred/Paid Membership Pro
–Community is a paid membership
I’d like a user to be able to purchase a membership at any subsite (shop), PLUS, have their (shop) account activity to be inclusive in their buddypress activity. Ergo…ONCE a membership is purchased – no matter WHAT site across the multi-site they sign into when they click (group/activity/members etc) it ALWAYS goes to the main (only) buddypress community.
MyCred integration provides for their badges etc to follow them into the community. So, the question:
Would the instructions given above in this thread hold true for the scenerio as I’ve described it?
If not, are there other suggestions?
Much appreciated….

So anyone using private sections or tabs in buddypress? Any tips?
Hi there,
If I use Buddypress, Memberpress, LearnDash, and Gamipress – which one of those plugins will be the dominating one? Like regarding log in etc.?
How will I be able to create a dashboard which features all of those features?
Also, we have different tiers of membership, level 1 doesn’t get access to the community, level 2 and 3 do. So how do we exclude level 1 members to access our community? If they need to create their profile through Buddy Press then they will have automatic access, right?
How can we stop level 1 members from getting access to the community? How do all these plugins work together?
Warm wishes
new installation default theme
plugins: bbpress and buddypress

Hello guys,
I have a relationship website and I would like to customize the Members Directory showing JUST man for woman, and just woman for man.
There are two “member-type” man and woman (using buddypress member types pro plugin)
I would like to create a member directory showing just the oposite member-type and removing the others users.
Could someone help me with it? Thanks
Hi,
Those buttons don’t look like they are related to BuddyPress specifically, is this on the forums? If so buddypress uses bbpress so you may have more luck on their support forums https://bbpress.org/forums/
@samtime
Thank you very much!
The following guide solves one part of the issue:
https://buddydev.com/buddypress-better-registration-part-1-remove-full-name-confirm-password-from-buddypress-registration/
Works very well!
@ all!
Now there are still 2 issues left:
1) How to deactivate/grey the “display name” in the users profile settings?
2) How to sync all “wp-usernames”, of all existing users, to the “display name”.
Please use English on these forums.
You can overload templates in your theme or child-theme.
The location of the templates to be used for overloads depends on which template pack you are using.
In wp-admin, go to Settings > BuddyPress > Options and note the selection re Template Pack.
If is BuddyPress Legacy, then the templates are here:
…\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\
Otherwise they are here:
…\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-nouveau\

Hi,
I’ve just quickly installed a fresh install of wordpress and buddypress, when I use the customize options the live preview is updating. What theme are you currently using as I was testing with twenty twenty?
Also do you have any other plugins installed or customizations made?
