Hi ! Here’s my problem.
I want to embed a link by writing HTML code that’s specific to every group, in every group’s home page by the means of a “Custom HTML” widget.
Problem : when I do that, I get the same embeded link (HTML code) copied on every single group’s home page.
Wordpress version : 5.1.1 (I think)
Buddypress version : 4.2.0
Front Page
Kind regards
Guillaume
Hey, i faced same issue and finally found the plugin conflict issue, i have deactivated “Buddypress Who clicked at my Profile?” plugin and the blank notification issue solved.
Hi Tammy, These days most themes work with BuddyPress, although there can be occasional inconsistencies.
In general there are two types of themes, general themes not written specifically for BuddyPress these are typically free. There are also BP specific themes, often for a cost and written specifically with BP in mind.
Personally I use general themes and add the custom features I want. In the majority of cases you don’t actually need to do much customisation to get the site feel that you desire.
So really the decision is about the specific visual attributes of the theme as they apply to the site you want to create and for that only you know what you are looking for.
Which items are you referring to?
Hi Ben,
How did you get on with this? I’ve been playing with profile fields and I’ve come up with a solution to this, however there is a bug in BP which prevents it from working:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8082#ticket
Also, in doing this I realised that it would be simpler to add this as a feature to the existing datebox that comes with BP, it already has an option to display the elapsed time and it’s not too difficult to add another option for Age:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8083#ticket
I think you must be using the BP Legacy template as the BP Nouveau version of compose does not do that. So that is one option – move to BP Nouveau in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options.
Otherwise I’m not sure what to suggest, the input field is needed to add new recipients so you can’t hide it.
Hi there,
I don’t believe this is a feature of BuddyPress, what would be the purpose of it?
A few years ago I was in exactly the same boat as you, I guess we all have to start somewhere. If I were you I’ve remove some of the complexity to your setup by deactivating MemberPress and then proceed to configure your site just with BuddyPress and see how far you get creating your ideal site. BP has a great many features and options and with a wide range of plugins available for it there should be very few scenarios that BP cannot deliver for you.
I don’t think there’s a bulk emailer specific for BuddyPress, not seen one anyway, the closest I’ve seen is https://wordpress.org/plugins/mass-messaging-in-buddypress/ which sends bulk messages. Of course BuddyPress users are also WordPress users so any plugin for wordpress that emails all users would work.
I was using this plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-users/)to send mail updates and newsletters to users of my site, but it stopped working, I also tried this one(https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-mail-smtp), yet it didn’t work. Though it has this notice;
Some plugins, like BuddyPress and Events Manager, are using own email delivery solutions. By default, this option does not block their emails, as those plugins do not use default wp_mail() function to send emails.
You will need to consult with their documentation to switch them to use default WordPress email delivery.
Test emails are allowed to be sent, regardless of this option.
Can anyone help solve this?
I’m using it to make a membership site. I thought I needed it in addition to BuddyPress/bbpress. I really don’t know what I’m doing, if you couldn’t tell. š
I think there’s some code you could add to your site you make sure no users get listed. Are you using BP Legacy or BP Nouveau ( Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options )?
I think the problem is that I’m using the MemberPress plugin with BuddyPress and it’s defaulting to the MemberPress registration field. I did have it set up to default to the BuddyPress registration field. I want to go back to the BuddyPress registration but I don’t know how.
You’d need to ask in the bbPress forums for a definitive answer as they are the ones best place to answer questions relating to forums – https://bbpress.org/forums/.
However to the best of my knowledge bbPress forums ( as opposed to forums created in BuddyPress groups ) can only be created by site admin, users can’t create them and there is no front end interface to allow users to create forums on their own.
So you could place the link in the BuddyPress menu, but for most users it would come back as not allowed.
Remove that code.
Create a page called Teams.
Go to wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Pages
Select the Teams page for the User Groups option and then Save
Go to yoursite.com/teams/
Hi there,
After I successfully altered all translations described in this guide, I now wish to alter the groups slug to something else.
I think I am close. Changing the BP_GROUPS_SLUG is deprecated, so instead, I found that you can change the slug by uploading the following bp-custom.php file into the wp-content/plugins/ directory:
<?php
add_filter( 'bp_get_groups_root_slug', function() {
return 'teams';
} );
This changes the slug, but unfortunately also makes all group-related pages result in a 404.
What do I do to fix this? Thanks for your help!
That would probably work as long as it could be automated. I suppose the question would be how to implement that? I’m new to BuddyPress.
Yes. I’m using Paid Membership Pro to create and signup for levels (and block most of the site and all of BuddyPress and bbPress from non-members). The levels are the determination on the groups. There’s Scout, Scout Parent, Adult Leadership and Committee Members. Ideally, any message would go to Scout and the corresponding Scout Parent. Technically speaking, to stay compliant with the Regs I could do a more generic approach as well, such as copying all Adult Leadership members on messages. However, in our Troop the preferred method is to copy the Parent.
Which BP Theme are you using? BP Nouveau? ( Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options ).
Good Afternoon!
I think this might be a feature request as I can’t find anything about it anywhere, so I may need to move to Creating & Extending? I’m using BuddyPress for a Scout Troop Members portal. It allows the Patrols to collaborate in a private environment outside of regularly scheduled meetings. However, the issue I’m having is staying compliant with BSA Youth Protection policies that state that at least two adults must be included in any coversation with a Scout. Scout to Scout should be fine, but I need a way to create a child/parent relationship for Scout’s accounts and automatically copy the parent on any messages to the Scout. Anyone have any thoughts?
Are you referring to your translation of the BuddyPress word ‘ago’ that is shown in the groups last update date? I can see it in line 387 of the pot file.
Hi there,
What I was getting at earlier is that there’s a shortcode setting = view=”default” which should use the same css as the theme default, however I’ve just checked and in this context the only setting that seems to work is the default list view, so yes you are left having to undo the list css and turn it into a three column view.
I tried this which gave me a three column view, but not one that matched the one produced by nouveau:
.featured-members-list li {
overflow: auto;
list-style: none;
float: left;
width: 30%;
margin: 0 20px 28px 0;
border: 0;
}
Been looking in BuddyPress to see what CSS makes up the members list when it’s in three column mode but not found much so far.
