BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress does not use WordPress user roles or capabilities. Technically, there is a bp_moderate capability, but we map that to roles that have manage_options capability (by default), or Network Admins, in multisite.

Even so, some parts, including the Profile Fields admin screen in wp-admin, require the manage_options capability.

So, basically, add the bp_moderate capability to all your custom roles, and if that doesn’t work, they’ll need the manage_options role — which, warning, gives them a lot of WordPress admin power as well.

No ways around this at the moment.

BuddyPress 2.9.4 include a tweak for emails that might have been causing this.
Apart from that, to our best of knowledge, everything related to emails is working.

It’s unlikely that the original recipients will reply, as this thread is nearly two years old.

BuddyPress does not offer its own log-in page. This is your theme, or something else, doing that.

I suspect also people are mixing up the “log in” page with the user registration form, which are two very different things.

Yes BuddyPress allows you to create extra fields for the registration form, there are also a number of plugins that extend the types of fields available.

Regarding user blogs, there are a number of options available but these tend to exist outside of BuddyPress – ie, assign a member an author role and they will be able to create blogs.

Go to the Pages menu in WordPress and manually create new pages named “Activity”, “Members”, etc.; then go to Settings>BuddyPress>Pages and select the new pages from the respective drop-down menus. BuddyPress should then push the appropriate content to those pages automatically.

I am having the same problem as the original poster, with roughly the same specs (except I am using WordPress 4.9.5 and a shared hosting provider). I even deleted BuddyPress and installed the new beta 3.0 version, but still no component pages were auto created.

Assuming that there is somehow no solution for BuddyPress failing to auto create component pages, are there shortcodes (and/or other page content) you can share in this thread for manually creating the component pages (Members, Activity Streams, User Groups, Register, Activate)?

I am also having a similar problem — I activated BuddyPress, but none of the component pages (Activity, Members, Groups) were automatically generated. I did have “Anyone can register” initially disabled, but I have since enabled this option and deactivated/activated BuddyPress, but to no avail (i.e., the pages are still not being auto created).

On the other hand, Id like the buddypress login redirect to my theme login page. The theme is just all done up already.

Ive managed to redirect BP registration already to my theme registration page.

This would help many in that we dont have any recent answers.

Thanks

I think you will have the same issue, you are looking to implement hierarchical connections within BuddyPress and that functionality does not exist. I was thinking you could possibly use group memberships to do this – BP supports hierarchical groups, but I’m not sure that would work.

What I was thinking is that the primary user could send out a join invite, and when the new member joined they would be automatically joined to the root group. But I think you’d still have to make significant modifications to the way BP works – every function would have to check for group memberships before giving access to content.

@cartessius search for MLM plugins and use BuddyPress for Social Features.

@twwebbie You will have user data same and after activating BuddyPress, you will also have Profile for all. Ultimate Member saves profile details to user meta, you can export them as CSV data and with CSV you can import them into BuddyPress xprofile fields.
For UM activities, they can not be imported directly into BuddyPress activities, you can check with your developer to create migration script for UM activities.

For BuddyPress WooCommerce integration you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/wc4bp/
Paid membership pro also offer free add-on for it https://wordpress.org/plugins/pmpro-buddypress/

@hussainarsh contact your developer, you will need to move all customization out of core file edits. It’s hard to suggest anything code fixes with customized BuddyPress version.

@ermejo these notification are related to LMS or BuddyPress action like friendship request, based on their nature need to find out which plugin or theme functions have added them.

Prayer Form

@shelby85, You can register a new Custom Post Type (CPT) for prayer and add support for Prayer CPT for activities ref: https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/

You will also need to create a new tab to list out all Prayer CPT on user Profile menus with an option to add Prayer from the front end.

@thirty3 You can check https://buddypress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-support-for-activity/#post-233983 it has a couple of examples of multiple cases scenarios.

i thought you were talking about redirection after someone has visited the activation page? The activation page that you specify is the one that if used, but it’s only an anchor, the actual content comes from buddypress. not the actual page. But either way it’s why I suggested overloading that page from the code that builds it.

Here details of the process:

Template Hierarchy

Also I’ve a plugin called BP template Overloader that might help with the process. It lays out the locations of the files and allows you to view and compare them. great for familaising yourself with the files.
