> I purchased a custom profile tab plugin
Was it a custom BuddyPress profile tab plugin ?
If so, the developer did a very poor job because any BP profile tab needs to handle dynamic user ids.
Tell them to simply use $user_id = bp_displayed_user_id(); in the shortcode function and to ignore or remove the user_id from the shortcode attributes.
I have a recipe website and I purchased a custom profile tab plugin to display recipes on the user profile.
Problem is the shortcode from the Recipe Plugin is showing only one persons stuff, asand if you logout and login with another user and visit the profile it shows nothing.
I was told I may be able to pull this off if I had a Buddypress User Token.
The developer of the recipe plugin wrote this:
“Sorry, what you actually need to do might be more complex. You need to include the user_id with the shortcode. This might be hard to do, unless BuddyPress gives you tokens to use in the content of those tabs. For example, you would need to use this shortcode:
[cooked-user-recipes user_id=”123”]
Where “123” is the user id. If BuddyPress provides a token, like %user_id% or something similar, you could then do:
[cooked-user-recipes user_id=”%user_id%”]
But I’m not sure if they do.”
Was wondering if someone could help me with a solution here.
You can see here I made a tab called “My Kitchen” with two Sub Tabs of “Recipe” and “Favorites” https://cukebook.org/members/cukebook
But they may not show up for you.

Hi, I’m even newbier (?) than @cvtbrian in that I’m just starting up with a brand new community (ie zero traffic), and plan to use Buddypress + Woocommerce, plus maybe 20-25 other plugins. I was planning to sign up for Managed WordPress hosting by Godaddy, but then i read in the BP codex/ getting started that “WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts (fantastico, softalicious, etc.)which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated” – and apparently teh managed hosting doesnt allow that, so the Godaddy rep told me then i need to look at Linux hosting.
Has anyone tried BP with Godaddy Managed hosting, and would it be okay to start with shared hosting considering traffic will be very low initially (but BP+WC+plugins would need to work reasonably fast)?
If i take shared hosting now, will it be easy to move to VPS later as traffic increases?
thanks a ton for any inputs!
Hello,
I tried to figure out a way to add a new tab which links to a page with custom content on the main /activity page right before “All Members”
buddypress version: 4.1.0
Wordpress version: 5.0.3
appreciate the helps š
Having updated today to WordPress 5.0.3 (and running BuddyPress 4.1.0) textarea fields (e.g. in the registration form) no longer show the TinyMCE editor. This is because with Gutenberg enabled wp_editor() doesn’t work, which is what the textarea field type uses:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-field-type-textarea.php:90-118
/**
* Filters the arguments passed to <code>wp_editor()</code> in richtext xprofile fields.
*
* @since 2.4.0
*
* @param array $args {
* Array of optional arguments. See <code>wp_editor()</code>.
* @type bool $teeny Whether to use the teeny version of TinyMCE. Default true. * @type bool $media_buttons Whether to show media buttons. Default false.
* @type bool $quicktags Whether to show the quicktags buttons. Default true.
* @type int $textarea_rows Number of rows to display in the editor. Defaults to 1 in the
* 'admin' context, and 10 in the 'edit' context.
* }
* @param string $context The display context. 'edit' when the markup is intended for the
* profile edit screen, 'admin' when intended for the Profile Fields
* Dashboard panel.
*/
$editor_args = apply_filters( 'bp_xprofile_field_type_textarea_editor_args', array(
'teeny' => true,
'media_buttons' => false,
'quicktags' => true,
'textarea_rows' => 10,
), 'edit' );
wp_editor(
bp_get_the_profile_field_edit_value(),
bp_get_the_profile_field_input_name(),
$editor_args
);
The console shows the error “Uncaught ReferenceError: tinymce is not defined” which is apparently located in the tinyMCEPreInit script definition at the foot of the page.
Any ideas?
Thanks
You can use following custom css
.buddypress-wrap .standard-form .field-visibility-settings-header {
display: none;
}
I am attempting to integrate BuddyPress into a custom plugin.
I would like to take certain BuddyPress sections (like Messages and Notifications) and give access to those forms so that a logged in user can compose messages, read/delete notifications, on my custom pages – not using the default BuddyPress pages (/messages/, /notifications/, etc), but using my custom pages.
What’s the best way of approaching this? I’ve looked at endpoints, shortcodes, and Buddyforms but I’m not having much luck yet.
@lunarayven You can check following codes and use them with Snippet plugin
Change “Activity” component’s name and slug to something else.
Other references of “activity” string at the frontend can be translated using Loco Translate
Hi everyone,
So I stumbled into creating a website (my level of coding ability is somewhere between “what the hell am I doing” and “oh that was simpler than it sounded”). I’m using buddypress for my membership profiles and I want to change the “activity” tab and rename it.
Ive seen that you have to sort some coding out to get this done, but could someone be so kind as to tell me which file in the editor to go into and where I put this code in? Do I just paste the code in at the bottom or is there a specific place it has to go?
Users names do not appear when letters are typed after @
The mention “works” notification wise but the autosuggest (I guess this is what it’s called) doesn’t.
Looking in Chrome Console I have an error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token mentions.min.js?ver=4.1.0:13
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/js/mentions.min.js?ver=4.1.0
The error icon is shown at the end of line 13:
11 var i={
12 delay:200,hideWithoutSuffix:!0,insertTpl:”@${
13 ID
14 }
The console also says that (no error icon there though):
JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1 jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.4.1:2
/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.4.1
@dwl003 no need to copy buddypress.css or min file inside the child theme.
You should be able to override the tab specific CSS with !important tags and writing codes inside appearance >> customizer >> additional CSS

Hi @henrywright,
I’m using “Buddypress Upload Avatar Ajax” (Version 1.0.1) and Buddypress (Version 4.1.0).
Since upload avatar plugin was not updated I’m experiencing the same problem as @chavodbharat has mentioned – I’m getting “There was a problem cropping your avatar, please try uploading it again” error.
I tried what he has suggested (edit directly wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\classes\class-bp-attachment-avatar.php) and I also tried your snippet, but I’m still getting the same problem.
Does something changed in latests Buddypress versions?
OK, no replies as of yet but some progress to report:
I abandoned the idea of making minor style customizations in my WS child theme’s style.css because of the inconsistent results I was getting (see my previous post). Instead, after more hours scouring of the internet, I found a different approach which is to setup folders under my child theme folders like so:
…/wp-content/themes/mytheme/buddypress/css
I then created a new file named buddypress.css in the new /css folder, put in a couple of css entries and voila! – it didn’t work. Determined to get this working, I then spent a few more hours of scoouring and through trial and error and finally came up with the following which does work for me:
1) setup the above mentioned folder structure under the child WP theme
2) copy buddypress.css from the core buddy press css folder under the chosen template (e.g. nouveau) to the new css folder
3) rename the new buddypress.css to “buddypress.min.css” (even though it is not “minified”)
4) changes made to the new buddypress.min.css now take effect (hoorah!)
Although this approach seems to work, it does raise several questions:
A) since the custom version of the css file is not “minified”, does this not defeat the purpose of minifying css files in the first place (i.e. presumably performance improvements)?
B) I would have hoped that the custom css file would only need to contain deviations from the theme’s css – however this does not seem to be the case. It appears that the entire file needs to be copied. The concern here is that when buddypress is upgraded, there may be css changes in the upgrade that are now “masked” by the custom css file which contains the older version of the styling (in cases where no modifications were made) – this seems a bit “messy” to me
C) I guess my main question really is whether the above approach which I finally settled on is valid and is the best available approach.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I am seeking clarity on this so that I end up with a good long term solution.

I’m using WordPress 5.0.3 and Buddypress 4.1.0
How can I display the contents of a BuddyPress tab on the main profile page instead of on a separate tab? I’m specifically hoping to display the reviews form the BP Member Reviews plugin on the Profile page rather than a separate tab.
If you’re not familiar with that plugin, how could I show the content of the Groups tab on the Profile page? I’d like to remove all tabs and show everything on one page for each user.
Thanks!
My mistake – the required hooks do exist.
Here is an example of adding a column to the Groups Admin page.
> Iād like to show the pending members in the groups page.
You can see the pending requests by visiting the Group page > Manage > Requests.
Hi,
I am not sure it that helps but it is placing everything into the menu. So far I haven’t been able to get it to work anyway. I also forgot to mention I am using WP 5.0.3 and BuddyPress 4.1.0 and the code there is for older versions.
I just want to be able to add the count at the top of the content on the page.
Thanks for the help!

On my test system, posting that into activity does not result in an embedded video, just a link to the video. BuddyPress does not handle video and in order to have it embed then something else is running in order to do that. It could be WordPress itself as it has embed functionality but looking at the CSS of the embedded video on your site it does not look like WordPress, it looks like there’s a plugin doing it.
Hello all,
I want to create a custom situation in buddypress. Condition is below
When a new comment and new post is occur in particular group a email notification should be send to admin.
I have tried custom email’s (https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/custom-emails/) but i didn’t got any positive result.
@emmanuel1234 you can check wpadvancedads.com/ads-on-buddypress-pages
@flowta with default 2017 theme you have horizontal menu http://prntscr.com/m7mamo and you can also try with the vertical menu as well. As per theme specific support most available theme in the market have legacy template files, that’s why you get a suggestion to switch to legacy first.
@ssmalli3 you can also check one more Reign Demo
Your issue is specific to your installation. And nobody will register on your site so that they can see
the page in question.
Given that you are using Avada and the Shortcodes for Buddypress plugin – there is very little chance that anyone here can help you.
> … list the groups to this page within the setting …
Sounds like an issue with Avada > BuddyPress
For that page, rather than use Avada to build the page, you may need to create a page and assign a hand-coded template to it.
There is lots of info on how to do that.
For example: https://ithemes.com/tutorials/applying-wordpress-page-template/
Never mind, this wasn’t BuddyPress.
Thanks,

Hi,
I built a few custom templates and I cannot get the breadcrumbs to show. This is the code I am using:
if(function_exists('bcn_display')) {
bcn_display();
}
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Stan
Wordpress version: 5
Buddypress Version: 3.2.0
Theme Installed: Avada
Website: The Site
I have listed the groups on the Networking page – Networking Page.
Problem I’m having is, If I list the groups to this page within the setting, my banner and small image do not show on the page at all. If I use “Shortcodes for Buddypress”, even though I add [groups-listing] at the bottom of the page they are still showing above the banner & Image.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
