BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress will not use the content from pre-existing pages.
It injects all content into each page assigned to each component.

Please review this content from the BP documentation.

I cannot duplicate your issue.

I created a Profile field called Nickname and set it to Required.

I can edit that field via the Extended tab – and it has no effect on any field on the User > Profile edit screen.

Under Settings > BuddyPress > Options, do you have this option selected ?
Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing

I tested then toggled that option – the behaviour was the same re your issue.

Thanks for your suggestions @venutius. With these the only options I’m going to wait for BuddyDev to update a workaround into BuddyPress Member Types Pro plugin (he’s very proactive, and says it’s now in queue).

Hopefully Nouveau and future BP templates will make conditionally hidden (but required) xProfile fields inert in this state. These fields are so important to augmenting registration on BP sites, and so hopefully it gets baked into the code (instead of having to find workarounds).

I appreciate your help!

Sorry, this forum is for BuddyPress support, Youzer is premium only so if you want to use it you would need to pay.

See my response in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bypass-email-requirement-2/ it includes a function to remove the required setting for profile fields in BP Nouveau, I think it will help.

You might have a conflict, try deactivating all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and switching to a default theme such as Twenty Seventeen then testing.

The usual CSS to change the members-list is as follows:

#buddypress #members-list li {
overflow: auto;
list-style: none;
float: left;
width: 30%;
margin: 0 20px 28px 0;
border: 0;
}

This might work but it depends on which option you are using for the list.

Also, another option is to use BP Directory Views, this gives a better three column layout in that it avoids an uneven display of the three column view.

In wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Options, did you select this option and save?
Enable group creation for all users

Then everyone should see a Create button on the Groups directory page.

Hi there, to get around the issue with posting your code I’ve added it to the bottom of my webpage BuddyPress Customisation Tips:

you can find this page in the snippets section of buddyuser.com

You can use this filter hook:
apply_filters( 'bp_nouveau_get_groups_directory_nav_items', $nav_items );
Found in: buddypress\bp-templates\bp-nouveau\includes\groups\functions.php

You can definitely add a nav item with that hook.
And you should be able to reorder the existing items.

Take a look at the nav item structure:

function pp_groups_dir_nav  ( $nav ) {
    echo '<pre>'; var_dump( $nav ); echo '</pre>';
    return $nav;
}
add_filter( 'bp_nouveau_get_groups_directory_nav_items', 'pp_groups_dir_nav' ); 

But you are writing a custom theme, so it would be easier to write a custom function to replace
function bp_nouveau_get_groups_directory_nav_items rather than filter the current output.

I’m confused, the users activity page is the default home page in BuddyPress. It goes to the personal activity page. I’m sorry if I or anyone else here gave you that impression. I recently wrote a thread which explained how to create a new combined activity page for the user and set that as the new default landing page. It’s slightly complex but very doable:

how to combine activity tabs to one

The original english in those files it sent to a file called buddypress.pot, from this the WordPress translators create country specific .mo files. I’m wondering if the language file for your country is missing this translation. It could very well be the case as this was only recently introduced.

If you go to Appearance/Menus in WP Admin, you should be able to edit the menu and delete those links. While you are there, click on Page Options on the top right of the page and make sure BuddyPress is checked.

Note: it looks like you have multiple menus so you will have to select the correct menu to edit.

Then you should see the BuddyPress menu links meta-box and you will see there’s a login link you can add to the menu. That should sort out your BuddyPress login, same with Register.

I’ve got a site buddyuser dot com, I’ve created a beginners introduction to BuddyPress, you might want to take a look at that.

It’s possible to hide menu links that you don’t want the general public to know about. There’s a few plugins that do this but one I use is https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/ this adds a handy checkbox to allow you to stipulate who can see that menu item.

There’s two locations for that text Anders depending on which BuddyPress theme you are using. there’s:

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/data.php on line 49.

and there’s wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/data.php also on line 49.

Do you think it’s missing from your countries translation file?

Oh you want to display something actually in the field loop, here’s the hook for that – bp_profile_field_item

That’s all the hooks on that page. If you want to do something different to that then you would probably need to overload the profile-loop.php template file. it’s in plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/your-bp-theme/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php. You’d edit a copy of that then put it in themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile

Hi,

I’ve just had another look at your register link, for BuddyPress it’s incorrect, it’s showing as sitename.com/register/member, if this is default BuddyPress it should be sitename.com/register

Hi there,

The login link is not buddypress, it’s got the option [PM_Login] so would assume it’s by a plugin with PM in the title. You should be able to delete this in the Appearance>>Menus page though. Same with the registration link, it’s PM_Registeration so the same plugin caused that.

Whats the slug of your BuddyPress register page?
