BuddyPress.org

Hello,

old problem…
In bp-core/bp-core-functions.php:611
there is the “ago” filter…
`$ago_text = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_time_since_ago_text’, __( ‘%s ago’, ‘buddypress’ ) );`
Replace this to
`$ago_text = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_time_since_ago_text’, __( ‘%s’, ‘buddypress’ ) );`

On the dashboard, left hand side you should the BuddyPress option, and under that is ‘pages’. You need to assign a page to each of the designated BuddyPress features in order for anything to show when visiting those pages. You might also want to ensure that the different options you want with your site are active under BuddyPress > Components. Hope that helps.

Look in your server’s PHP error log and see if you have any messages. You may need to contact your host for support to do this.

@pawriter – if you go to wordpress.com — the reader shows you latest featured blog posts from the blogs on the site. Which is what the described solution tells you how to achieve using BuddyPress in a multisite install

Why not simply invite your contacts to use the normal registration process at the point of contact?

For simple purposes can set up an extended field (say ‘Country’) in Buddypress without need for any particular plugin and have it included, even ‘required’, then you can use the ordinary WordPress search to filter the list of members to reflect only those matching the country of search. However I am not certain if you can restrict the content of that field to a particular known dataset of countries (ie you would have to rely on members correctly listing their country).
If you want to go further you could use a plugin like the BP Avatar Map ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-members-avatar-map/ ) which needs a ‘Location” extended field using various depth of location eg. just USA or Sydney,Australia or Sydney, NSW, Australia – the WordPress search should then find all from Sydney or all USA etc. The plugin includes a map for the Directory page but you could probably exclude that if you wanted.
Hope this helps.

@ikosweb this CSS is essential for the avatar cropping feature. If anyone is developing their own theme and has decided to disable the default BuddyPress CSS then try adding this CSS snippet to your theme’s .css

SOME privacy issues have been addressed. But not to the extent of being able to (out of the box) hiding members profile, groups, pages from visitors.

Just, now, visibility of individual profile fields can be allowed to be toggled/or fixed by admin between

@dan77 that code doesn’t seem to work anymore. It gives the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /site/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:50) in /site/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

Go to the TwentyEleven theme. Remove BuddyPress. Create a page. Go to the page. Does the page load?

If it doesn’t, what’s the URL to that page? This is probably a permalink or rewrite rule problems, and creating a page is the easiest way to find out what’s going wrong.
