BuddyPress.org

thanks.. I’ll download that one instead

Thanks Chouf I’ll start working on it asap

BuddyPress uses the “display name” to know that they have filled out some profile information. It is the only *always* required field inside BuddyPress.

Because WordPress is centered around the “username” and uses the “nicename” for slug purposes, we’re stuck with those no matter what. I like having my username be short for easy log ins if I can help it of course (sometimes “jjj” is already taken.), but I like my display name be my fullname because it’s how people recognize me.

I don’t see a way around this any time soon. And like Andy said, internationally sometimes people have 4 or more names. I use my middle name, but having a “middle name” field isn’t always optimal either so I lump it in with my first name. (All those years of my mom yelling “John James you get over here this instant!!” must have stuck with me.)

You can rename the primary name field to be whatever you’d like, which is designed to alleviate some of the confusion. It lets you decide what that field means to your users. The “username” is the only thing they can’t change, so they’re using that for life.

Hey glittereyes,

Check out this post by Andy:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/disallow-ordinary-users-to-create-groups#post-28404

With this code, only site admins can create groups.

I’m guessing that the best place for this kind of feedback is https://trac.buddypress.org/

Use your buddypress.org login, click “new ticket” and select “enhancement” as the Ticket Type.

@ Andy:

I’ve tried to do just this before but then the BP-forums (www.website.com/forums) wouldn’t display correctly. It seemed like the primary blog had to have a theme from which it could get the forum theming.

In your root blog template, open up header.php and add this to the bottom:

<?php global $bp; var_dump( $bp->root_domain ); ?>

then paste here what is output when you refresh your home page.

BuddyPress pre-1.1 had an option to do this via .CSV.

But, it appears that option was removed in the latest versions of BP.

Keep an eye on this ticket:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1327

to see what happens.

Blog ID 2 has a URL of community.domain.org?

No square brackets around the ID.

Hey Jeff Thanks!It worked!

It seems screen_function is mandatory here…! Where Codex says its optional.(https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/functions/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/)

Hey Xevo, how far did you get with this? I think my problem may be related.

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/members-who-create-blogs-lose-all-permissions-on-main-blog

my second-level menus aren’t popping out on bbpress. i tried the fix on the first page of the thread but the CSS file is different in newer versions of buddypress. can anyone suggest a solution, please?

/* third-and-above-level lists */



#wp-admin-bar ul li ul ul {

margin: -28px 0 0 183px;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li.sfhover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */

left: auto;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li.align-right:hover ul {

right: 0;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul {

left: -999em;

}

Anything related to a theme which is not the buddypress default theme should be discussed with the creator. We can’t help you and since they are premium themes, I bet they would gladly help you on their forums.

Btw, Andy already closed your other topic.

In your wp-config.php add:

define( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', [blog id of community blog] );

Then enable a BuddyPress theme on the community blog.

The theme you are using is not a BuddyPress enabled theme, that’s probably why. They also have support forums, you should probably ask them why their themes are broken.
