@buddyboss Hey Michael!

I totally understand what you mean. I feel the same way about WordPress. Even simple whitespace changes there become endless discussions that result in no changes and no agreement, and worse… no fun.

My own personal concern here, comes from everyone involved in BuddyPress purposely trying to create an inviting, open, fun, rewarding experience to contribute to the project, and seeing talented folks like yourselves choose to compete instead of collaborate is the opposite of the target we are shooting for as a project.

What more could BuddyPress have done? What could the team have done differently? I’ve never really seen much in the way of upstream improvements or recommendations or requests in Trac or the forums from your team. Not that it’s necessary. Not that it’s expected. But there isn’t a history of anyone saying no or shutting y’all down.

I applaud the independence. I wish all y’all nothing but the best. And I hope BuddyPress is inspired from the creativity and inventiveness that BuddyBoss is known for.

I’m totally new to the BuddyPress universe. So far I’ve been unable to find any site which uses either BuddyPress or BuddyBoss. I’m sure they exist, just can’t find them. Posted that question on this forum, no reply yet. Emailed BuddyBoss, and they politely informed me they have no way of connecting me with any of their client sites so that I can try their system.
Gotta say, so far my first impression is that none of this is ready for prime time.

FYI, while I’m ignorant of all things BuddyPress, I have been working online since 1995 and have coded my own blog and forum software from scratch.

Anyway, I’m hoping to be able to join anybody’s BuddySomething site so I can experience this software as a user. Activism sites would be ideal, but any site will do. Thanks for any advice.

Hi @chaddblanchard

If you are using the BP Legacy template pack, you can follow @shanebp snippet available in response to this support topic: Display profile fields on members page

It will also work on the BP Nouveau template pack, but it will be wrongly positioned. FYI, I’ve opened a ticket to fix this in next BuddyPress major version.

You can also use a different strategy using the BP Template hierarchy. If you create a copy of the bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/members-loop.php into a buddypress/members/members-loop.php file of your theme (be careful to respect the relative path into your theme: create a buddypress folder, then a members one and finally put the members-loop.php copy inside this folder. From this copied file, you can modify the html layout to include specific code to display the profile field(s) of your choice.

Here’s an example: https://gist.github.com/imath/67c2c5d961083bc8d4205860a2a075b2#file-members-loop-php-L44-L46 The specific code to add has a yellow background.

How come the new BuddyPress 5.1.0 is not compatible with the latest PHP 7.1/7.3

Its a waste updating to BuddyPress 5.1.0, with the latest PHP version, it would only crash your site ….My advice, STAY OFF

@imath vous êtes formidable et je vous remercie.
J’ai modifié les permaliens en : /%monthnum%/%postname%/%day%/%year%/
et ça marche ! Je peux créer mon premier groupe !
Merci et bonnes fêtes.

Question subsidiaire : si j’ai d’autres soucis plus tard avec mon site WordPress, quelle est la meilleure solution pour être vite dépanné ? Passez par vous ? Ou allez vers une autre personne calée en WordPress et Buddypress ?

Bonjour,
j’ai téléchargé Buddypress sur mon site OVH mais je ne vois pas du tout la même chose que sur les tutoriels. Je ne vois pas où je peux créer des groupes et quand je clique sur le bouton ajouter des groupes je trouve le message d’erreur : “The requested URL /groupes/create/ was not found on this server”.
Je ne comprends pas car j’ai déjà utilisé WordPress et je n’ai jamais eu de problèmes pour créer des groupes. (J’ai installé aussi Bbpress correctement).
Merci de me dire car je suis perdu.

I’m the only admin in my community and I don’t want to give access to the administrative backend, but I need someone to check and moderate the site’s activities, alone its impossible, nobody has the same problem? … it absolutely needs a buddypress moderation system role (like bbpress or wordpress), it should be in the core of the bp project

These are the forums for BuddyPress.
The forums for bbPress are here.

There is a way, but requires custom code/development. BuddyPress is flexible enough to allow you to do whatever you want.

I think this is more of a preference than a requimenent. One could think that if the user is already logged in, he already has the necessary permissions to delete it, so why ask the password another time.

Social medias sites like Facebook and similars, ask that to make it harder for a user to delete their own account.

So I don’t think this is a BuddyPress core issue. You can certainly add another field requiring the password on your social site before deleting the account.

This is already the default behavior. Here is the code that fires a email when someone request to add someone as a friend: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/d44e81fd40e4e9e48fc599836d311cf2752f9f34/src/bp-friends/bp-friends-functions.php#L858

I’d recommend you to confirm if something is disabling that. Maybe the emails are not set up correctly or a theme or plugin is avoiding that to happen. Could be anything.

This needs more investigation.
