Thanks for plugin
But……..
The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
Plugin install failed.
ftp install – plugin not listed
Hopefully just a tiny tweak .
Do you mean something like the walled garden technique?
I use (bp version 1.5.6 ): https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/code-snippet-make-site-privet-parse-error/#post-130982
Then I use the following to hide feeds from logged out users
`
function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_personal_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_friends_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_mentions_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_favorites_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘groups_action_group_feed’, ‘groups_action_group_feed’, 3 );
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘bp_remove_feeds’);

@aces. I am looking through your response. Where do I define the location of my Mystery Man graphic inside your code solution?
I have it located at `../wp-content/themes/my-theme/images/mystery-man.jpg`
Is there a way to create different types of status updates in BuddyPress and filter them out in a seperate stream each. Like different categories of status updates?
Hello,
I am using the Salutation WP/BP-Theme. So far I really like that theme, so I don’t want to change that – but I would like to change the way the buddypress user profiles look…
I would like to align the fields like here: http://www.hmag.com/members/simon/
Right now it more looks like this: http://para.llel.us/themes/salutation-wp/members/sweetbro/profile/
Where and how can I do that – I am a little experienced with php and WP but new to buddypress.
Thanks,
Streidl
It’s not quite the same thing but with bp version 1.5.6, I use the following in bp-custom.php:
// see: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/1-5-group-avatars-using-mystery-man-default#post-109448
function my_avatar_defaults() {
global $bp;
// change 'identicon' to anything listed here:
// http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/images/#default-image
$bp->grav_default->group = 'identicon';
$bp->grav_default->user = 'monsterid';
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'my_avatar_defaults' );
@mercime – We are using group forums. We are, however, rewriting the urls using the forum slug constant in wp-config.php.
It is weird, because this is only happening on our DEV environment. It seems to be working fine on LIVE.
Any other thoughts? Possible avenues to explore?
@dreamlarp basic troubleshooting is changing to bp-default theme. I suggest that you double-check that all the BP components are in working order using bp-default theme before installing/activating a third-party theme.
Could also be a plugin issue, one that has not been updated for latest BP version. There are a variety of factors which could trip up a smooth installation. First thing is change to bp-default theme and work from there.
You can change Settings > Privacy option so that one of the blogs – like your dev site – will not be indexed.
@beggers best place to ask is at the WordPress.org forums and to search plugins there. There was a plugin that “bridged” the two (WP/phpBB) way back.
Right now I see the following
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-single-sign-on/
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-recent-topics/
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/phpbb
I am using Sarah Gooding’s workaround to replace the core mystery man graphic with a custom graphic. It does not work. It continues to render the core mystery man graphic.
Has anyone had any success overwriting the mystery man graphic?
// Source: http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-a-custom-default-avatar-for-buddypress-members-and-groups/
function myavatar_add_default_avatar( $url ) {
return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_mysteryman_src', 'myavatar_add_default_avatar' );
Tried this too (got it form http://etivite.com/api-hooks/buddypress/trigger/apply_filters/bp_core_mysteryman_src/). It did not work either:
apply_filters( 'bp_core_mysteryman_src', 'myavatar_add_default_avatar' );
When clicking on your photo on main buddypress home page it doesnt do anything besides direct you back to the page your already at would like to change it so if its your picture you go to edit your avatar or maybe photo album and if its someone elses go to there main photo or photo album right now im trying to find the source for the button itself as it is i think it would be somewhere in bp-xprofile folder but i’m not sure.
@mercime : Thanks for replying! Unfortunately, `define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );` is not in bp-custom.php, or anywhere else that I can find, so that isn’t the solution. The only functions in there at the moment are custom avatar dimensions for full size and thumbnail avatars. I tried adding `define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, false );` in case I could explicitly turn that function off, but that didn’t work either.
Is there anywhere else that root profiles are possibly enabled? Any other ideas?
== Rather than linking to ‘http://site.com/members/username/’ the way they should, they instead link to ‘http://site.com/username/’. ==
@fixanddestroy that happens when you or someone else added
`define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );`
in your bp-custom.php
@12sp This is an issue you should bring to your theme developer’s forums. As far as I know, if you’re using Suffusion theme with BuddyPress, you also need to install a plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/suffusion-buddypress-pack/
Strange. What about regular members? Can they see forums page?
Also, since you’re not using Group Forums, disable Discussion Forums in menu BuddyPress > Components. Go back to your sitewide forums page and check if it’s working properly.
@mercime thank you for your time. everything it’s working fine. breadcrumbs are not working and I removed it.
We have several instances of a BuddyPress site (LIVE, DEV & LOCAL). The DEV & LOCAL sites are exact duplicates of the LIVE site from about a week ago. (We occasionally sync the LIVE site to our DEV & LOCAL sites to make development & testing easier.)
Currently, LIVE is running WordPress v3.3.2 and BuddyPress v1.5.6. We performed auto-updates on DEV & LOCAL after the sync we performed last week; so DEV & LOCAL are running WordPress 3.4.1 while LIVE is still running 3.3.2.
Anyway, we’re having trouble with our DEV site “forgetting” that the forums component is installed/activated. Every 12 hours or so, visiting the forums section of the DEV site (any group’s ~/forum/* address) returns a WordPress 404, Page Not Found. To reactivate the forums, all we have to do is login to WP Admin, and visit the BuddyPress -> Forums settings page. Just viewing the forum settings page fixes whatever issue is causing the 404; no re-saving or updating of the settings is necessary.
I’ve verified that the following rewrite settings are correct and the same between the three sites:
`$wp_rewrite->wp_rewrite_rules()`
`$wp_rewrite->permalink_structure`
`$wp_rewrite->get_page_permastruct()`
`$wp->matched_rule`
`$wp->request`
But, when we get to the actual query (`$wp_the_query`) the `query_vars` are correctly asking for a `pagename` of `forum`, but the query var `is_page` is FALSE, `is_404` is TRUE and there is no `queried_object` returned.
I’m stumped. I’m sure that somewhere there is a filter or option that is getting dropped somehow, but I have no idea where it might be. This issues does not affect LIVE or LOCAL, only DEV so we’ve ruled out a difference in the version of WordPress.
Any ideas, or even a bit of a walk through for how the forums are activated would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi, i made a fresh install of wordpress network and buddypress 1.6 then promote a user to group mod. but when that user click admin on the group page, it is showing the “You are not an admin of this group.” msg. this doesn’t happen when I test version 1.5.6.
Is it possible to add SMS to one of the notification options in the BuddyPress group settings. Maybe an all email with SMS? I have looked for a plugin for this and have yet to find one. Thank you for your help.
Hi @joelshakespear … I think you are about 4-5 days behind me. I looked into this very same thing and have some code for you to glance over:
`
if (bp_get_member_user_id() != 1 /*admin*/ && bp_get_member_user_id() != 35 /*user35*/ && bp_get_member_user_id() != 36 /*user36*/) {
$members_phoneNumber = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Phone Number’ );
if (empty($members_phoneNumber)) $members_phoneNumber = ‘(no phone number entered)’;
$members_title = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Title’ );
if (empty($members_title)) $members_title = ‘(no title entered)’;
echo ‘
‘ . $members_phoneNumber . ‘ | ‘ . $members_title;
if (is_site_admin()) {
$user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );
$user_role = ucwords(wp_sprintf_l( ‘%l’, $user->roles ));
if ($user_role == ‘Bbp_participant’) $user_role = ‘Administrator’;
echo ‘ | ‘ . $user_role . ‘‘;
}
echo ‘
‘;
}
`
I use it in the members loop script, but you could probably tear it apart and use it on the member’s page for your needs. Sure hope it helps you out.
