BuddyPress.org

You can add items to the activity stream using bp_activity_add().

See here https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_activity_add/

Have a look at this plugin: https://themekraft.com/products/woocommerce-buddypress-integration/

As far as I know, there’s no way to do that with BuddyPress’ built-in tools.

However, it is possible with plugins such as the one you identified.

I had a similar requirement and ended up doing it by utilising BP’s Member Types functionality (which require a plugin or custom code to set up), a plugin called BuddyPress Xprofile Member Type Field to map that to an xprofile field (so that the user can change it herself… it was the easiest way I found to add that to the user’s profile, although there might be a better way), all tied together with custom code to patch in to the xprofile_updated_profile action to check what the change is and then use the groups_accept_invite() and groups_remove_member() functions to change the membership accordingly.

I know that’s not very detailed, but due to lots of other functionality, such as adding to email lists, my code ended up being quite complex, so it’s not possible to paste it here.

Hope that helps

What version of BuddyPress are you using?

Can you upload the avatar that you wanted to use somewhere so we can test?

Hi @gyrus

You can de-queue BuddyPress styles like @r-a-y suggested in that thread (see #202777). This won’t break anything functionality wise although, of course, it will change your theme’s look and feel because all of the styling information will be gone.

Hi, I realize this is an old thread. However, I thought of posting my solution, just in case someone finds it helpful. (tried posting it three times.., it just disappears from here)

Solution:

1. Copy the the contents of the bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into the new registration page template

2. At this point, the registration form will show up, but nothing will happen when we submit the form.

3. To solve that, we need to add a custom function to the “bp_screen” hook. In the custom function, we will paste the contents of the “bp_core_screen_signup” function. (located in bp-members/bp-members-screens.php)

4. Then, in our custom function, we will remove this

if ( ! bp_is_current_component( 'register' ) || bp_current_action() )

		return;

and put this

if ( !is_page( 'your-page-slug' ) || bp_current_action() )
        
        return;

5. Next, we’ll remove these lines
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_register', array( 'register', 'registration/register' ) ) );
It will work now.
Here is the pastebin of the custom function created in bp-custom.php

Hi @franckw

This is a question you should ask WC Vendor Pro. BuddyPress doesn’t handle reviewing.

bbPress handles its integration into BuddyPress, not the other way around.

You should look into what it would take in bbPress to alter the slugs for BuddyPress groups. I don’t believe this is possible at the moment from what I remember though.

You might want to check out the bbPress forums as well:

Hey @udarmo

Thanks for the report. Can you open a Trac ticket for this so it can be investigated?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

You’ll want to see a very similar thread to yours:

Template modification not shown on website

You can check the “Users > Pending Accounts” page in the WordPress admin dashboard. Then, you should be able to just delete them from there.

It might be worthwhile for BuddyPress to have a built-in script that removes pending accounts that are older than a month or so.

Also, just to get some clarity, would inactive users be causing BuddyPress to slow down all functions on my website, such as loading a member profile, or the activity page?

Not really.

If you indeed do have a popular website with many users that are concurrently logged in and performing operations, then this will slow down your site. You will need to utilize object caching plugins and the like (I believe WPEngine already has something built in for this). You might also need to consider upgrading your WPEngine plan.

We’re also thinking of doing some performance enhancements in the next version of BuddyPress that will decrease the amount of code that needs to run on non-BuddyPress pages.

I’m guessing you have disabled Search Engine Visibility in WordPress.

If you have, view the following:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/wiki#1-bbpress-doesnt-record-its-forum-posts-into-the-group-activity-stream--why

The problem is with the function used to generate the active member count.

On your site, you have a ton of inactive users, which is causing the SQL query to be very large. I’m guessing you installed BuddyPress on a really big site recently and your users haven’t logged in yet? I’m guessing your site has a ton of pending users that you haven’t deleted yet?

BuddyPress can do better here, but in the meantime, one way to mitigate this SQL query is to generate a script that will backfill an activity timestamp for all your inactive users one way to mitigate this query is to delete all your pending users (the ones that haven’t completed registration) like Shane mentioned. This will stop WPEngine from killing the query.

Your line numbers do not match up with v2.9’s, which is why I recommend re-installing. Not sure how re-installing will cause problems unless you have directly modified core files in the past.

Regarding bp-custom.php, a quick search on Google would have explained what to do with it. Regardless, here’s the link to find out more:

bp-custom.php

If the code snippet I provided didn’t work in your theme’s functions.php, it most likely will not work in bp-custom.php either.

The other potential issue is there might be a plugin conflict.

Did you try un-checking the ‘Blog & Forum Comments’ option
in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Options

What would you need specific documentation for?

I would just recommend doing a file search within the /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ folder for certain things that you need to modify.

That way, you’ll be able to know what file to edit for template mods.

Cannot duplicate this.

You might have a javascript conflict.

Try disabling all plugins except BuddyPress and try again. If it works, then it’s a plugin conflict somewhere. If you’re running a custom theme that has purported BuddyPress support, also switch to a default WordPress theme.

What is the “latest buddypress version” for you?

If you were using v2.9.0, then the patch I linked to should apply cleanly. There should be no changes between your copy of /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php and v2.9’s /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

If your version is v2.9.0, then I would recommend re-installing BuddyPress from the wordpress.org plugins repository.
