You should raise this in the Shortcodes for BuddyPress support forum
It’s possible but not easily, this ticket talks about doing something like it:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6694
When you had the profile shortcodes plugin activated, you got the fatal error that an undefined function was being called – bp_get_messages_slug, however this function does exist in any BuddyPress install that has messages enabled, so that error is pointing to a problem with your config – either something is stopping BP from loading correctly or messaging is not enabled. This pretty much points to other issues on your system which are messing with BP. Sometimes plugins throwing errors can provide useful insights into issues elsewhere in your install.
I deleted all profile fields, set new profile fields in 2 groups: Base (Primary) and Company.
Now Company field group is not showing in the Profile page, and Base fields generate the same error when save changes is clicked.
Plugin disabled: BP Profile Shortcodes Extra (generated many errors including fatal error)
Plugin active: BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types
Is there proven tutorial how to successfully add more fields in BP Profile?
Please use the code button when sharing code.
Use the filter hook and write your own filter function.
In buddypress\bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-template.php
find the filter hook in function bp_the_profile_field_value()
BP uses that same hook for a lot of formatting. See buddypress\bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-filters.php
So be sure to set the priority to a high number like 99 so your filter function will run last.
OK I should have just started with buddypress
I guess I need to see if ossn has a plugin to export then I can work on the bbpress import
@sjregan, @vapvarun. Thank you so much guys. My site had the issue for a while, but upon updating my Kleo theme to 4.3.8, the issue was resolved.
However, Kleo 4.3.8 at the moment doesn’t work with Buddypress Nouveau Template Pack, just Legacy Template Pack. So, users may find out that the Kleo reverts your Nouveau selection to Legacy.
OK I should have just started with buddypress
Ya, It will need to create the script to export data from OSSN and after you will also need to create import script for BuddyPress. For User profile and extended fields, there are some plugins which can populate BuddyPress using CSV.
Membership area, the following result in 500 errors
– Profile Settings
– Notifications
– Events
.. Trying to have members create groups, etc. And everyone gets 500 internal server error. I’m currently using PaidMembership Pro with BuddyPress — PMPro is Working fine. WordPress is working fine.
Wordpress support said it appears the issue is coming from BP, and recommended I reach out.
Thoughts? Help?
Thanks
That’s right, to overload them copy them into your themes/child-theme/buddypress directory, maintaining the directory structure and you will be able to edit at your leishure.
Thx Venutius for your answer.
I guess you mean plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau (or bp-legacy) /buddypress
That’s what I did, so it seems understood well afterall 🙂
BP has a large number of files that can be overloaded by copying them to your child-theme directory, these are located in plugins/buddypress/bp-nouveau (or bp-legacy) /buddypress for one off builds it’s usually easiest to overload the template file you require. If the solution needs to be re-useable then it’s better to build a plugin and use filter and action hooks. Also some things you can’t do with Template files alone.
I have a correction to make with my post: I did not replicate this issue with Nouveau; my site is using Legacy template and experiencing these problems with Load More.
For reference to other BuddyBoss Boss theme users: BuddyBoss has confirmed that they are overriding the BuddyPress settings to only run Legacy and have no timeline for supporting Nouveau template on their Boss themes. Even if you have Nouveau selected in your BuddyPress settings, it will default to Legacy. This caused my assumption that I was using Nouveau (since I had it selected).
@r-a-y is there an updated javascript patch by this point? This problem persists (on multiple devices including mobile) and an update would be very helpful. Thanks.
It’s not a feature, you could raise it as a feature request on trac
Thanks for that There is no plugin but my copy of buddypress comes with wpsoul rehub theme demo install so maybe they did something.
Anyway I found that another Plugin called WP User Avatar was causing the issue and I have removed it and all is fine now
Regards
I think you should raise a new feature request on Trac and add your code there.
Thanks for the link. I already tried this but it didn’t work. I think I would need to figure it out myself. Is the @mention functionality only works on the BuddyPress pages ??
This link talks about adding the function to bbPress in the days bbPress did not support mentions, it culd help:
Add the New BuddyPress Mentions Interface to bbPress Forum Replies
I’ve just copied activity-loop into the theme/buddypress/activity directory and the overload works for me.
Is it all pages are just the BuddyPress pages?
BP Nouveau uses a different function to display the members count – bp_nouveau_pagination() it’s in the file plugins/buddypress/bp-template/bp-nouveau/members/membes-loop.php
The same code is used to display the counts for friends. does your friends list display the right number?
Thanks Henry it was the $hook that was incorrect in the previous docs. I was wondering if i could ask you to take a look at another question i posted about notifications? I’m not sure if you’ll have an answer but i’ve not managed to get anywhere on it.
how do i get mentions recognized for notifications here?
Solved!
SeventhQueen (Kleo) just released a new theme update. Now its possible to choose your sidebar for the BP profile and group in the Theme settings (in “Buddypress”)
