BuddyPress.org

Those roles are added by bbPress 1.0. BuddyPress doesn’t use them.

There’s a setting for exactly that in Settings > Discussion in wp-admin

@jugularbean Re #1 – thanks for clarifying, just had to make sure
2. You don’t change the filenames, you replicate the file/s and rename as header-buddypress.php etc and should be saved in root of your TMA theme folder.

You’re in luck. We can use the second method to make TMA compatible with BuddyPress.

1. Open up TMA’s header.php with text editor and Save As > header-buddypress.php in TMA theme folder

2. Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following at the very end of the file:
`<?php global $woo_options;
//get_template_part( ‘top-banner’ );
?>

`

Save file.

5. You might want to tweak the default styling of the BP template files. You can use the following style changes used in Twenty Ten theme as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

The essence of what you want is to store a piece of usermeta called something like ‘user_type’, where each user is either ‘player’ or ‘team’. The tricky part for your purposes will probably be that BuddyPress (or WordPress for that matter) is not designed to allow one user to act “on behalf of” another user – or, as you put it, “players interact only through their respective teams”. I take it that means that player1 would be able to send a message and have it come from team1. But this is going to be quite tricky, as it’ll mean, essentially, filtering the current user id in hundreds of places throughout BuddyPress.

Yea, I never really used it much… so I just decided to deactivate it + that cleared up this issue!

It should just work out of the box. The bbPress activity stream support is included inside bbPress, so maybe it is not being loaded. I’ll ping @johnjamesjacoby to see if he has seen the problem before.

@djpaul why not put a notice on the site saying its being worked on?

Create a custom BuddyPress component. You can use the skeleton component plugin to see example code. How you do it is up too you as you can create anything.

You must have another plugin, or theme option, affecting it.

I’ve just tried the following on a bp test site instead of the single menu and it worked
`
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
}
?>
`

nb: The test site is also using the walled garden technique…

just realized I’ll have to make up a third theme location to pull this one off when does the editing ever end lol
