BuddyPress.org

If I’m not wrong in new buddypress 3.x you can use the customizer to make it vertical.

Use this filter hook and write a function:
apply_filters( 'bp_members_format_activity_action_new_member', $action, $activity );
Found in : ...plugins\buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-activity.php

For example, untested:

function pixie_new_member_activity( $action, $activity ) {

    $user_id = $activity->user_id;

    // assuming the field names are State and City
    $state = xprofile_get_field_data(  'State',  $user_id,  'comma' ); 
    $city = xprofile_get_field_data(  'City',  $user_id,  'comma' ); 

    $userlink = bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id );
    $action   = sprintf( __( '%s from %s in %s became a registered member', 'buddypress' ), $userlink, $city, $state );

    return $action;
}
add_filter( 'bp_members_format_activity_action_new_member', 'pixie_new_member_activity', 10, 2 );

This is a general WP question and is not specific to BP.
There are many ways to do this – depending on your theme, your ability with code, etc.
There are some plugins that can help you.
We suggest you do a google search on your question without restricting it to BuddyPress and you will see thousands of results.

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?

Here’s another couple – https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddy-views/ , https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-who-clicked-at-my-profile/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-visitors/

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:

This ones free – https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-views/

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 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 )?

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/
