Hi @aces thank you for your input, I am using private buddypress that was refered to in thread you mentioned but deactivating all plugins except buddypress did not change anything. I have set up a fresh new buddy press installation to check if it is just my installation, but its the same there I added the code that rodtrent mentioned but that didn’t change anything as well. It looks like it is locked in a redirect loop between e.g. http://example.com/buddypress/groups/group1 and https://example.com/buddypress/groups/group1 because the link that is shown in the url field of the browser is http but all the other pages are properly loaded with https. I have changed the wordpress and site url to https.
@mercime thanks for reply, here are the details:
wp 3.4.2
bp 1.6.1
Did you go through the Installation Wizard after you activated BuddyPress? – Yes
What theme are you using? – default bp
There is a trac ticket to include a login widget since theme compat is killing sidebar code, I took ownership of ticket, I’ll look through other widgets and make markup better add anything missing.
No problem. Closing this topic.
I am answering what you’ve stated in “I would like for a login to not use the admin bar and it all be a front end deal.”
As for registration, Paul asked you what you needed that was not already in BuddyPress, where by default, you can create xprofile fields in base (primary group) which users can fill up during registration. Then you could create a new profile group and fill it up with fields which users can fill up after they have registered.
@denysz more info is needed to help troubleshoot. WP/BP versions? Did you go through the Installation Wizard after you activated BuddyPress? What theme are you using?
First time I’ve heard about this. What theme are you using?
Edit – you should contact theme author of Dynamix theme. Looks like the author incorporated BP into the theme per demo http://dynamix-buddypress.creativeworkz.co.uk/ could be some conflict
== I get the normal wordpress user profile editable fields? ==
If you mean the first and last names in wp-admin user settings, then you have to create a script to call those as BP xprofile fields has its own settings. Otherwise, you can create First Name field and Last Name field in User > Profiles panel https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields
Do you have any ‘privacy’ plugins or something like a redirect_to_forum() function in your bp-custom.php file such as in https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/too-many-redirects-in-chrome-404-in-ff-when-trying-to-accees-group-ater-update/ ?
If so try disabling it / them as they may need updating / replacing *
@rodtrent thank you, sadly that did not work, i have placed the code in line 484 right here:
` // Setup the BuddyPress theme directory
register_theme_directory( );
}
}
remove_action( ‘bp_template_redirect’, ‘bp_redirect_canonical’, 2 );
// “And now for something completely different”`
but I still have the loop. Could it be connected to the fact that this wordpress/buddypress installation is located in a subfolder?
I am running WP 3.4.2 and BuddyPress 1.5.6
I know there is a function call for `is_site_admin()`
I need to determine if the currently logged-in user is a Moderator of the Group being processed. Is there a similar function call like `is_group_mod()` ?
Thanks
Hi,
i implemented the hack to post on friends wall. This was working fine until I upgraded. It seems that
`remove_action( ‘wp_ajax_post_update’, ‘bp_dtheme_post_update’ );`
is not working.
Normally the code remove the default activity handler replacing it by some custom code found here http://buddydev.com/buddypress/using-activity-as-wire-in-buddypress-1-2-themes/
But now it doesn’t remove it and thus I have double posting. Once normal and once using the hack which is just adding a @username before the post.
I guess wp_ajax_post_update is deprecated but I don’t find the replacement. What is the default publishing handler now?
Thank you
So I’m using the exact code from here (with a couple of parameters) : http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-group-members-loop-bp_group_has_members/
When calling this function it returns the correct results but I’m getting a heap of black diamonds with white question marks in them; http://i.imgur.com/Zx67Z.jpg
Encoding is Unicode (UTF-
. When I locally change the page encoding through chrome ( spanner -> tools -> encoding -> to ‘Western (ISO-8859-1)’) they disappear.
Anyone have a solution to this or should I change the just change the page encoding?
@djpaul – Unfortunately, that’s the only way it works. It doesn’t work in bp-custom at all.
The error tells you WordPress can’t find those files. Did you delete them from your plugins directory?
Short of making a new widget which inherits the built in widget, and overriding the method, no 
Are you using multisite? If so, go to the Network Admin.
The option is in Settings > BuddyPress > “Settings” tab, and it’s under “Main Settings” at the top.
p.s. there’s no built in way of switching back to the “old” toolbar.
I’ve tried to open directly in firefox the create.php page and have this error message:
Call to undefined function get_header() in /htdocs/myfolder/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/create.php
Maybe it can help to find a solution … 🙂
I went through BP 1.6 code and stumbled upon the “bp_moderator” role in the code (though I didn’t see this in my wordpress & buddypress installation)
I also don’t see any other functions that checks back whether “bp_moderator” capability exist. Is this a planned role for future release?
I followed 2 steps to successfully display usernames in the BP members directory & other pages instead of default Display names:
1st step was to install the BP Usernames only plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
This replaced display names across the site by usernames however, when I used the search box on the members directory to search a member, it returned results with members display names again and not usernames. To resolve this, I additionally followed step 2 explained here: http://customwebdesignseo.com/activity/p/3002/
Never, ever, ever edit any files that come with BuddyPress. That’s terrible advice.
Hi,
We are creating a new BuddyPress magazine theme but whiles styling default Groups and Members widgets we run into a problem because of | charactere that is hardcoded into widget file as
`
<a href="” id=”newest-groups” class=”selected”> |
<a href="” id=”recently-active-groups” class=”selected”> |
<a href="” id=”popular-groups” class=”selected”>
`
That separator is not wrapped with a span nor any other html tag, thus it is not that easy to have Active – Popular – Newest links to be customized. Is there a way to get rid of these separators without touching into core files?
Thanks
Actually…
I installed and activated and i have the following messages:
The plugin buddypress-login-redirect/bp-login-redirect.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.
The plugin buddypress/bp-loader.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.
Such a shame!
