If I don’t get a response I’m just giving up on Buddypress and moving over to the alternative Peepso

I now found this thread which seems to be the source of my problem.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/only-administrator-can-change-avatar/

Trying it out now. Sadly its closed and even sadder, there is no “solution”.

If this thread is correct, then the problem occurs because of a redirect that forbids “regular users” to enter WP Admin.

Does anybody have a solution for this?

No I’m busy focussing on the bbPress items for starters, topics and replies as of now.

I have disabled all activity_items to the stream by default except topics and replies. I want to add more items but one at a time and controlled. A BuddyPress site can become overkill feature wise very fast because everything is so connected and relative with each other.

Topics and replies in the stream.

Hi again,
this is the last answer from my customer:

Hi Andrea,

i deactivate all my plugins except BuddyPress, WooCommerce, YITH Frontend Manager for WooCommerce Premium and YITH WooCommerce Multi Vendor Premium, and i remove my theme’s functions.php and bp-custom.php ( the buddypress file customisation ) but i have the same issue, the probleme disappears only when i deactivate YITH Frontend Manager for WooCommerce Premium.

Watch the video to understund.

http://recordit.co/EDtXjDOCI9

i think it’s an ajax issue ,the problem occurs when i’m in buddypress page and I click on a button that requires ajax, only when i’m connected with vendro account.

http://recordit.co/ncfABt1ErP
in the 2nd video yith frontend manager is deactivated

http://recordit.co/97vyc8reeI
in the 3rd video it’s in my local environment with an other theme

I hope this has helped you

have a good night
Ahmed

Do you have another idea ? I have tried to replicate the issue but without success, if you want I can send a copy of our plugins…probably you understand how replicate this issue.

Let me know.
Thanks

Have a nice day
AG

Hi! I did follow the documentation. You’re right that those two pages work. Both of those pages use a certain template within the theme. That template uses a full-width page, without the sidebar and search bar that are on other pages. I’ve a few things to see what can remedy the matter:

1) Yes, I switched to a different template to test, and yes, on the 2016 template, BP works, so I don’t need to reinstall BP or get it working on its own. That part is working. I didn’t realize I’d have to reset all of my widgets and stuff. Fortunately, they weren’t deleted… Got those set up again.

2) I tried making all other relevant pages, creating pages for the stuff that BP uses, and setting each of those to use the template that works for Activity, Members, and Chapters. That didn’t work, though.

3) I tried creating a Custom CSS entry that uses the .buddypress class, telling it to use full-width for #primary. That made the page use full-width, but it didn’t make the functionality of BP work… Like on this page:
https://www.philosophersinamerica.com/chapters/create/step/group-details/

Please help! I’ve reached out to my theme’s creator – and there’s no changing to a different theme. We’re super committed and it works really well for everything else, and he’s had no experience using BuddyPress. I need help! This is just the plugin I’ve been looking for to help my people create groups that they need to manage.

It seems to me that if we’re able to get some of the pages to work there’s GOT to be a way to get other relevant pages to use whatever that same setting is to work also. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Best,

Eric

Ok found that you can just create a child template for /buddypress/members/members-loop.php

I got it working! Thank you so much for you help Henry.
I ended up modifying the code I found in this post: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hiding-groups-activity-members-list-to-non-members/

Ran into some issues as bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) is no longer working, replaced it with your bp_is_members_directory()

Then had to figure out why bp_is_page() doesn’t work, found it is replaced with is_page()

After, some figuring out how to use is_page(), I got everything working with the code below:

function nonreg_visitor_redirect() {
	global $bp;

	if (is_page('alchemist-top-250-companies') ) {
	
		if(!is_user_logged_in()) {
			wp_redirect('/stillneedtosetupage' );
		}
		
	}
	
	if (bp_is_members_directory() ) {
	
		if(!is_user_logged_in()) {
			wp_redirect('/register' );
		}
	}
}
add_filter('get_header','nonreg_visitor_redirect',1);

I found a workaround, I’am quite not completely satisfied but…

First of all, disable members list on group:

function change_access_group_nav_tabs() {
  if(bp_is_group()) {
    buddypress()->groups->nav->edit_nav( array( 'user_has_access' => false ), 'members', bp_current_item() );
  }
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'change_access_group_nav_tabs' );

(btw, setting the value to true actually make the the nav items always here, but we still can’t access the group list on click)

And then I simply add a custom BP Group Extension to make my own members list:

class Group_Extension_List_Members extends BP_Group_Extension {
    /**
     * Here you can see more customization of the config options
     */
    function __construct() {
      $args = array(
          'slug' => 'members-list',
          'name' => 'Membres',
          'access' => array( 'anyone'),
          'show_tab' => array( 'anyone'),
          'nav_item_position' => 12,
          'screens' => array(
              'create' => array(
                  'enabled' => false
              ),
              'edit' => array(
                    'enabled' => false
              ),
          )
      );
      parent::init( $args );
    }
    function display( $group_id = NULL ) {
      //Remove user who do not belong to the group on members loop
      function filter_for_groups( $members_template_has_members, $members_template, $r ) {
        for ($i=sizeof($members_template->members)-1; $i >= 0 ; $i--) {
          $user_id = $members_template->members[$i]->id;
          if(!groups_is_user_member( $user_id, bp_get_group_id() )){
            $members_template->member_count = $members_template->member_count-1;
            array_splice($members_template->members, $i, 1);
          }
        }
        if ($members_template->member_count <= 0) {
          return '';
        } else {
          return $members_template_has_members;
        }
      };
      add_filter( 'bp_has_members', 'filter_for_groups', 10, 3 );

      require('/Your/theme/custom/members/loop/members-loop.php');
    }
}
bp_register_group_extension( 'Group_Extension_List_Members' );

Hope it will help other in the future, And I’m still open to know the good way to proceed.
