Hello
Good time
in this version of BuddyPress, I want to limit the default pages such as the user directory with “Restrick Content Pro” plugin.
In the new version of BuddyPress, there is no user directory and other pages in the “page” section on WordPress Dashboard, so that I can not limit them with the mentioned plugin.

Now how should I do this?

Thanks venutius for removing all potential spam from this forum, it’s appreciated.

The question was regarding: why are forums not showing on my Buddypress site?

My reply: Buddypress does not include forum functionality by default.
Usually this can be added via another plugin eg. bbpress.

Find the bbpress plugin on the WordPress plugins website.

Install it, that should solve your issue.

Hi,

If you are using Buddypress Nouveau then the strong password suggestion can be disabled with this code.

Add it to your functions.php file, or add it using the plugin Code Snippets.

Hope it helps.

add_action( 'bp_before_register_page', 'bp_page_signup_disable_random_password');
function bp_page_signup_disable_random_password(){
  add_filter( 'random_password', '__return_empty_string' );
}

Aha. got it. He built a new plugin that does the same thing. You can find it here for $29. BuddyPress Group Tabs Creator Pro.

It’s a little counter intuitive to configure, but the key is to match the “slug” for an existing tab precisely. (i.e. for Forums, the slug is “forum”) If you don’t put the slug in exactly, it won’t use that tab as the default. Works perfectly.

There is/was a plugin called “BP Default Group Tab” which worked perfectly. It’s a premium plugin from BuddyDev that’s still offered. That said, it seems not to be working anymore, which is such a shame. Now I’m trying to make Forum the default landing page for my groups, and have been struggling for days… I can find old code from 12 years back, but nothing that seems relevant to the newer Buddypress code.

Totally agree.
If you have a technical issue with Buddypress then you are likely to struggle to get any proper assistance on this forum.
It’s very unfortunate.
And this is the official, recommended support forum for Buddypress? Really?
I understand Buddypress is free, costs zero to use.
That’s great!
But zero technical support … not great.

Crissy, you might try contacting the guys at the Buddydev website, they might help you.

Hi @imath
Thanks for the help!
Maybe you can suggest something with this. I want to add a counter of new posts from the activity feed to the custom menu.
I put it in functions.php but didn’t get any results. With my meager knowledge, I did not succeed. I can’t figure out how to add a counter to my custom menu.
P.S I’m not sure that the code itself is workable!

Here on the forum I was offered the following code:

<?php
function bp_update_last_visit() {
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
update_user_meta(get_current_user_id(), 'last_visit', current_time('mysql'));
}
}
add_action('wp_login', 'bp_update_last_visit'); 
add_action('wp', 'bp_update_last_visit'); 
?>
<?php
function bp_get_new_activity_count() {
$last_visited = get_user_meta(get_current_user_id(), 'last_visit', true);
$args = array(
'action' => 'new_post', // Adjust based on the actions you want to count
'since' => $last_visited, // Filter activities since the last visit
);

// Query BuddyPress activity with arguments
$activities = new BP_Activity_Query($args);
return $activities->get_total();
}
?>
        <?php
        function add_activity_notification_count() {
$count = bp_get_new_activity_count();
if ($count > 0) {
echo '<span class="activity-notification-count">' . $count . '</span>';
}
}
add_action('bp_menu', 'add_activity_notification_count');
  ?> 

Hi, you can disable the function of adding a cover image for the individual user profile. I don’t use groups so I don’t know if you can disable the cover image for groups.

To disable the cover image for individuals, go to settings -> BuddyPress -> Options -> Then uncheck “Allow registered members to upload cover images”. Then the cover image will disappear completely in the profile front end.

BuddyX is the free theme that was specifically developed for BuddyPress.

To install this, log in to your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance – Themes – Add new – use the search bar to look for “BuddyX”, then install, and activate.

Implementing favorites for custom post types using BuddyPress and REST API involves a few strategic steps. Here, I’ll outline a method to integrate this functionality effectively:

### Step 1: Ensure BuddyPress REST API Is Enabled

Firstly, ensure that the REST API support is active in BuddyPress. BuddyPress provides REST endpoints for various components, but you may need to confirm that it’s set up to interact with your custom post types.

### Step 2: Register Custom Post Type for BuddyPress Activity Tracking

You mentioned you’ve seen documentation related to registering custom post types for tracking activity. This is crucial as BuddyPress needs to be aware of these custom post types to interact with them effectively. You can do this by adding a function to your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin:

`php
function register_custom_post_type_activity_tracking() {
bp_set_post_types( array(
‘drop’ => array(
‘track_activity’ => true
)
) );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘register_custom_post_type_activity_tracking’ );
`
This code snippet informs BuddyPress to track activities (like posts and updates) for the “drop” custom post type.

### Step 3: Create a REST Endpoint for Favorite Action

You will need to create a custom REST API endpoint to handle the favorite action. This endpoint will be responsible for adding and removing favorites.

`php
add_action( ‘rest_api_init’, function () {
register_rest_route( ‘buddypress/v1’, ‘/favorite/’, array(
‘methods’ => ‘POST’,
‘callback’ => ‘handle_favorite’,
‘permission_callback’ => function () {
return is_user_logged_in(); // Ensure the user is logged in
}
));
});

function handle_favorite( WP_REST_Request $request ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$post_id = $request[‘post_id’];
$action = $request[‘action’]; // ‘add’ or ‘remove’

if ($action === ‘add’) {
// Logic to add a favorite
bp_activity_add_user_favorite( $post_id, $user_id );
} else if($action === ‘remove’) {
// Logic to remove a favorite
bp_activity_remove_user_favorite( $post_id, $user_id );
}

return new WP_REST_Response( array(‘success’ => true), 200 );
}
`

### Step 4: Interact with the REST API

You can now interact with this API using JavaScript or any other client that can make HTTP requests. Here’s an example of how you might call this API using JavaScript Fetch API:

`javascript
function toggleFavorite(postId, action) {
fetch(‘/wp-json/buddypress/v1/favorite/’, {
method: ‘POST’,
headers: {
‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,
‘Authorization’: ‘Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN’ // You should implement authorization
},
body: JSON.stringify({ post_id: postId, action: action })
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error(‘Error:’, error));
}

// Usage
toggleFavorite(123, ‘add’); // Add a favorite
toggleFavorite(123, ‘remove’); // Remove a favorite
`

### Step 5: Test and Refine

After implementing, conduct thorough testing to ensure that your favorites system works as expected. Check both the functionality and security aspects, especially focusing on permissions and data validation.

By following these steps, you should be able to add a favorites feature to your custom post types leveraging BuddyPress and the WordPress REST API effectively. beach buggy racing cheats apk
