BuddyPress.org

Hi there,

You could do it using the additional site CSS section of Customizer.

Have you found your browser console? Right-click the page and choose inspect Element. This will allow you to inspect the CSS used on the page, modify it on the fly in order to find the best CSS element to set the background color. For example something like this might do the trick:

.buddypress-wrap {
    background: black;
}

Hi there,

You are going to have to troubleshoot this issue as it’s specific to your site and not something that’s a more general problem.

The first thing t do is to deactivate all plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if the friends lists are correct. If not then try a default theme such as 2016 to see if that corrects it.

It’s also worth turning on error logging in wp-config.php https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

Once you have enabled debugging, any errors will be logged to your debug log, you can get error log viewer plugins to make viewing it easier. Try viewing the friends list and then reviewing the log to see if any errors are being generated.

BuddyPress does not include a feature to sell membership

The next thing to check is if there is something messing with the BP pages, so deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and install a default theme such as 2016 and see if they display.

Hi there,

Two things to check:

1. Have you linked the pages to BuddyPress in Settings/BuddyPress/Pages?

2. Have you changed your permalink settings to be anything other than the WordPress Default?

Do you want to override template files? If yes, the first step is to find out which template pack you are using(Dashboard->settings->BuddyPress->Options).

BuddyPress comes with 2 template packs
– BP Legacy
– BP Nouveau

Once you know the template pack, you can follow the following step

1. create a directory named “buddypress” in your theme
2. Now visit wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates, you will see two directories
– bp-legacy
– bp-nouveau
3. Based on your current template pack, visit that directory. You will find “buddypress” directory inside them. This is the directory of your interest. Copy files from there and maintain the path.

For example, if bp-legacy is your current template pack and you want to modify members loop,

you should copy wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php to yourtheme/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

Note the path after the template pack is what we need to maintain. Once you override it, BuddyPress will use it form your theme.

Please do note that themes do not allow you to specify template pack while overriding template files, so if you override it for one template pack and then activate another, It can lead to a lot of issues.

My suggestion is to remove/rename the “buddypress” directory in your theme if you change the current template pack for BuddyPress.

Hope this helps.

so the directory structure should look like this:

themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/file.php etc. can you confirm this is what you have got?

Would you have a plugin or theme that is redirecting the buddypress default template search?

Are you saying bp_loggedin_user_domain() did not work?
If so, buddypress may not be available when that filter hook fires.

You could try using this: http://mysiteurl/members/me/
When clicked, BuddyPress will redirect the me to the profile page of the logged-in user.

Quite a few of my users also wish to be able to crop their cover photos. Is there custom code I can add to allow users to do this? I haven’t found it on any of the forum posts so far and most are over a year old. This seems to be the most recent.

For those searching, here’s the codex of cover images (group and profile) and tells you how to customize the image size that you will accept for this area, but still not telling you how to allow cropping.

BuddyPress Cover Images

I’m on Version 4.1.0

I’d first try switching between BP Nouveau and BP Legacy in settings/BuddyPress/Options. I’d then try a default theme.

Lazy load will really speeds up a site, so it’s important to us. LiteSpeed Cache has image lazy loading which is compatible with the BuddyPress avatar uploading feature:

Thought that might help anyone who runs into this issue!

One solution I’ve found which works for BuddyPress and

Whether you use BuddyPress or not, you would need to write custom code to handle the access restrictions that you described.

I’ve not played with Toolset so have limited knowledge of that. I take it that it’s expecting a comma delimited list of usernames. my first question is – is it looking for the WP Username and is your list returning them correctly (as opposed to the BuddyPress fullname).

I think what I’d do first is to take the shortcode output and paste this into the Toolset shortcode manually to see if that works. If it does then it would appear the Toolset shortcode and your shortcode are not interacting properly.

Try something like this in your shortcode:

$args = array( 
    'group_id' => 666,  // set the ID somehow
    'exclude_admins_mods' => false
);

$group_members_result = groups_get_group_members( $args );
$group_members = array();

foreach(  $group_members_result['members'] as $member ) {
	$group_members[] = $member->ID;
}
 
return implode(", ", $group_members);

Check the $args by reviewing groups_get_group_members() in buddypress\bp-groups\bp-groups-functions.php

Imgur allows you to upload images and provide a link to view them.

By the sounds of things you probably have a conflict. Things I would try:

1. Set BuddyPress theme to BP Legacy
2. Deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress
3. Try with a default theme such as 2016.

So does buddypress usually use the regular wordpress login user name? If a site just uses bbpress and buddypress – people set up an acccount just through wordpress and bbpress/buddypress use that?

Yes and yes.

Yikes, afaik, that is not done by BuddyPress.
It looks like you have a plugin or other code that allows emails as user names.
My guess re the ‘2-2-‘ bits is that more than one user was created with that email.
( Try a test registration using a unique email )
WP dictates that login names have to be unique.

BuddyPress uses the login names for @ mentions.
So does bbPress – for example, this forum where your @ mention name is: badusername

So, again, afaik, it will not be reasonably possible to simplify the @ mention names.
With considerable and complicated customization, it might be possible.

You could try WPUlike and maybe BuddyPress Activity Share

One thing about this is that since group creation is open to all users, creating a group would be a simple way to get post creation rights. You may want to look at BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation to limit who can create a group in the first place.
