BuddyPress.org

You need to get FTP access to your wordpress folders, go to wp-content/plugins and delete the buddypress directory, you should then be able to reinstall it.

Here’s my solution:

add_filter( 'wpmu_validate_user_signup', 'my_wpmu_validate_user_signup' );

function my_wpmu_validate_user_signup( $result ) {

	$underscores_error_message = __( 'Sorry, usernames may not contain the character "_"!', 'buddypress' );

	$error_messages_array = $result[ 'errors' ]->get_error_messages('user_name');

	if ( count($error_messages_array) == 1 and $error_messages_array[0] == $underscores_error_message ) {

		$result[ 'errors' ]->remove('user_name');
	}

	return $result;
}

I don’t know what you mean by making the full WordPress backend come under BuddyPress, but with BuddyPress your front-end can be expanded to do a host of features that the back-end is typically used for. Even for adding posts?

Of course the admin panel is meant for the administrator to manage their site not everyone should be accessing it.

While I can see what you mean this is something that’s more tied to good website design. Most themes with a BuddyPress focus tend to include an icon in the navigation when they are logged in when you are logged out why would you be looking at your profile?

Here is what my new work in progress looks like in the main navigation with an icon of the user when they are logged in.

BuddyPress updates can’t make content just disappear. It looks like the “reviews” are being stored as comments so if comments which could have been deleted in a number of ways but there just isn’t enough info I haven’t been able to replicate this behavior on any of the sites I manage.

This plugin looks like it does what you’re looking for.

BP Multi Network

Also reference: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/

Your question is not clear. Are page members – site members?
The option public – did you mean private? obviously setting a group to public makes it publicly available, so not what you are looking for.

I’ve been experimenting with the site privacy plugins and if you want a completely private network you should check out BuddyPress Members Only, this ensures all url’s except for the homepage are not accessible to not logged in members.

Hi @bdwright
Congratulations! for your website. When it comes to reporting a post there is a nifty plugin called WP Report Post. I think It should solve your problem of post reporting. When it comes to moving back end to front end it is quite complex. But a premium plugin from Buddyboss Buddypress user blog is what you want. Kindly check the demo before purchasing

Hi @ hdcms
I did not see the picture before suggesting the code and misunderstood. You can use the actions like bp_before_profile_edit_content and bp_before_profile_avatar_upload_content in place of bp_before _member_header. The better way to edit the appearance of a website is by the adding the buddypress template files in your theme. Here is a beautiful article on this.

Hi @ngoegan
Above code is working fine on my install. I am not facing a redirection issue on forum page. If you closely watch the code there is an if statement which checks if we are on register page.
You can do a few things
1. Clear your cache if using a caching plugin.
2. Clear your browser cookies and check
3. Go to settings > permalink and re save
4. Change to default theme and deactivate all plugins except bbpress and buddypress and place the code in theme’s functions.php file and check
Happy Debugging 🙂

Thanks for opening the Trac ticket.

rtMedia is a plugin of its own and not a part of a standard WordPres install. Check out their support forum here:

rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress

Hi Martijn-

I imagine that the reason that no one answered is that none of the volunteers that offer help here knows anything about your specific issue.

You can change the activity directory link like you were guessing, using the bp_get_activity_directory_permalink filter:

add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_directory_permalink', function ( $url ) {
	$language = Weglot::Instance()->getCurrentLang();
	if ( $language != 'en') {
		$url = $url . '/' . $language;
	}
	return $url;
});

Note that BuddyPress uses the url (and the positions of elements in it, like /members/username/action/subaction) to calculate a number of things, so we can’t say whether the weglot approach will work well with BP.

Best of luck.

The users get this message when they have yet to activate their account, it’s a basic feature of BuddyPress – each new user gets sent an activation email.

If you got to your wp-content/plugins/buddypress directory you will find the US translation of BuddyPress – buddypress-en_US,po, make a local copy of this and load it into PoEdit, you can then create your own translation, changing the words how you link, just search for the phrase you want to change.

Are you talking about BP Group Documents or BuddyPress Docs? These plugins have their own support.

Hi Ulrich-

It sounds like you’re talking about BuddyPress Docs, not BP. If so, there’s a filter, and you could use it something like this:

add_filter( 'bp_after_bp_docs_has_docs_parse_args', function ( $args ) {
    $args['posts_per_page'] = 100;
    return $args;
} );

There’s a plugin for that – BuddyPress Activity Shortcode. Another way is to use a page builder to place your activity widget into the page.

Hello there. BuddyPress doesn’t use a shortcode–a register page just need to exist and be identified. Could you be using some other plugin?

Otherwise, double-check that the register page is properly associated at wp-admin > settings > buddypress.
