BuddyPress.org

Hello @djpaul, thank you for your willingness to help. I tried adding a reply yesterday, but it’s not showing, so I write today too. I will try to explain my problem. My site is under construction only.

1.When I was not using Ultimate Membership Pro, the registration page was from the BuddyPress plugin (2.jpg) BuddyPress registration page was also set up in admin (1.jpg). Everything was ok.
2.After installing the Ultimate Membership Pro plugin, I changed BuddyPress registration page settings to Ultimate Membership Pro plugin registration page (3.jpg). In the Ultimate Membership Pro settings, I set up the same register page (4.jpg). The registration page should now be the Ultimate Membership Pro plugin registration page (5.jpg). However, it is very difficult to get to it. Instead, Buddy Press’s sign-up registration page still appears (6.jpg). But with the URL corresponding to the Ultimate membership Pro registration page (6.jpg).

I’ve tried everything else setting, even turning off other plugins – it did not help. I also tried the solutions I found here, but they did not work. In the next replies, I add screenshots.

@akswer Friend type is not part of current features. It’s not like regular WordPress Post category. It will need to be extended and need to add one more parameter for friends and add a new option for the user to add specific friend inside their list Like Inner Circle, Friend or Acquaintance. You can request for a feature inside https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report

@shahriar83 bp_legacy_theme_hide_comments() already has a limit to display five roots comments at a time; you can find it inside /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js
You can also override it inside child theme.

@bizzibi You can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

@mseibel it might be possible you are looking for some option which you can use to filter out some words from activity and messages.

Hi @graphitewp2,
You can check following

@niclovelace BuddyPress is translation ready and you can simply use Loco Translate plugin to translate any terms with the desired one from the plugin options.
No need to modify any codes.

@avaiya BuddyPress is translation ready and you can simply use Loco Translate plugin to translate any terms with the desired one from the plugin options.

@avaiya Try to make sure BuddyPress pages should be available for all membership levels. If a specific member is not able to view BuddyPress pages, it might be possible he/she is not part of particular membership level for which BuddyPress pages are available.

@rchatman If your theme is adding each action as new custom post type post submission.
You can go with https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/ approach. I can also help with custom development.

@rastislavkr unless your problem is identical, down to the same plugin, please start your own new thread discussion next time. 🙂

Generally speaking, I believe BuddyPress should render third-party shortcakes in its theme compatibility templates. How easy is this to reproduce?

If it’s very quick and easy, and you provide step-by-step instructions, I may be able to investigate and see if it’s a bug in BuddyPress. No guarantees on timeline, though. 🙂

I suspect by now you’d have been able to duplicate them if you’d started manually. 🙂

There’s no built in functionality for this. You could have tried duplicating the rows in the database (not trivial unless you are familiar with MySQL), or perhaps seeing if you could automate something with the BuddyPress extension for WP-CLI: https://github.com/buddypress/wp-cli-buddypress

Short answer is WordPress has a totally crap email API, and it’s really hard to reliable filter the core WordPress emails. That’s a big part of the reason I wrote a modern email API for BuddyPress, because WordPress itself is doing a bad job.

Let me know if you think this is something we should prioritise. It’s been a while since we’ve improved the email system, and this might be a good reason for another pass.

Do not duplicate your requests for help. Volunteers here have limited time: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-page-title-remove/

Venutius, maybe we should look at bringing the shortcakes into BuddyPress core sometime.

By default, your theme’s page.php is used as the wrapper. In your theme, duplicate that file and rename it to buddypress.php. Then you can edit that wrapper template and it will only affect BuddyPress.

I am not sure why this might not work. I suspect, too, it is a conflict with some other plugin or theme that affects permalinks or page management, but it’s impossible to tell without actually working through the code and checking your database. Perhaps the theme, as you said you’ve tried disabling all plugins.

If you let me know your versions of WordPress and BuddyPress, and if your site has WordPress multisite enabled or not, or if you’ve customised any BuddyPress options via custom code, I’ll try to test on a similar site next week and just confirm if it actually works. I doubt that’ll help fix your issue, though, unfortunately.

You’ll need to be a reasonably competent developer, familiar with WordPress, to achieve this. There is some documentation at https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp_activity_add-2/ that might help you get started. Good luck!

Hi @jerrysmith212

Thanks for the kind words! BuddyPress does *use* a cron task for only one thing — if Activity component is active and you also have the Akismet plugin enabled, then there’s an integration between the two, and our cron task periodically tidies up old metadata.

We do nothing that I know of that affects WordPress’ cron system, let alone something that might break things.

(To clarify: we use WordPress’ “scheduled cron” API, like all plugins, not actual “Linux cron” jobs).

To a certain extent I’d say the answer is yes it’s possible, all the read only pages at least. Take a look at the overload files in plugins/buddypress/bp-teplates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single. These are the page components that make up much of the bp profile pages.
