BuddyPress.org

Thank you, thank you 🙂 I have tried so many ways to point dynamically to a user’s profile in a url for custom links. I am very new to wordpress and buddypress.

Hi,

“member” is a core component of BuddyPress and can’t be disabled. You need the “member” slug (or what ever you may use as custom slug) in the wp environment, for example to fire profiles, messages and so on.

You want to obfuscate or forbid the member directory. That’s ok. Let’s make it simple and stupid! One possibility would be to add a restriction on the directory template. For example, you could allow only the site admin to access that part. Other roles will get a message instead (or nothing at all, or a redirection…).

If i’m right, the directory template is in bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php
Condition you could use:

 if ( !is_super_admin() ) {
 echo 'This page is not public';
} else {
// here the template content
}

To use this solution you need to use a child theme.
There are many other ways to accomplish what you want. Here the most simple(imo), but you can go to overcomplicated and very sophisticated too.

There is nothing like that, and to be honest, it wouldn’t be a great idea to send an email to each profile visitor. How could you be sure that the visitor is a site member and not a robot ? And what will happen if a profile is visited 500 times by a same visitor ? Do you send 500 mails to the profile owner ? In brief, it is not simple to handle. And imho, it is not here that you will get the best answer for such a complicated tool…

That said you have a few plugins who make similar things:

Hi,

My Buddy Groups is not a string used in BuddyPress, and explain why you don’t find it (at least in BuddyPress).

could it be that you use some group plugin ? Or a BP specific theme ?
Search there, plugin or theme have usually their own language file.

If you wanted to add a heading to your Members Directory template, there are two methods:

1. Override the Members Directory template part:

The template part is the actual template file used to render the Members Directory output.

Copy /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php

To:

wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/buddypress/members/index.php

And make whatever changes you need to make.

2. Override the Members Directory template hierarchy:

https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

Template hierarchy basically means a page template used for the surrounding template part.

If you don’t want to read the guide above, basically, copy your theme’s page.php and move it to /buddypress/members/index-directory.php in your theme’s directory. Then, add your heading before the page loop.

When you set up BuddyPress, you have the option to map BuddyPress components to WordPress pages:

Configure BuddyPress

So basically, if you mapped the Members Directory page to example.com/members, you can go to your WordPress Pages menu in the admin dashboard, find your Members Directory page and rename the slug from members to whatever you wanted like people.

We’ve the same problem.

But we found a solution to fix it.

File: \htdocs\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-admin.php

Search the function “xprofile_admin_field” and there you replace the code from Line 609 to 630 with this:

	$field_edit_url = add_query_arg(
		array(
			'page'     => 'bp-profile-setup',
			'group_id' => (int) $field->group_id,
			'field_id' => (int) $field->id,
			'mode'     => 'edit_field'
		),
		//network_admin_url( 'users.php' )
		'users.php'
	);

	if ( $field->can_delete ) {
		$field_delete_url = add_query_arg(
			array(
				'page'     => 'bp-profile-setup',
				'field_id' => (int) $field->id,
				'mode'     => 'delete_field'
			),
			//network_admin_url( 'users.php' ) . '#tabs-' . (int) $field->group_id
			'users.php#tabs-' . (int) $field->group_id
		);
	}

So it don’t create nework admin url links, just site links. This will fix it till the next update.
I hope the BuddyPress devs will fix it in the next release 😉

> Can i call a complete bubbypress page on to a new page ?

Short answer is no.

You can however, change the slug of a BuddyPress page via the WP admin’s “Pages” menu. If you can change the location of the slug, this should satisfy most use-cases.

> with php maybe? or create a shortcode?

Yes, anything is possible with code! It depends what you want to show though.

There are some plugins out there that show BP content via shortcodes. One of them is this one:

Bowe Codes

The log-in page is a WordPress page. There is a guide on how to customize it:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form

The registration page is created by BuddyPress and can be modified in many ways. You’ll need to understand theme compatibility and overriding templates:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

So you could create your own copy of buddypress/members/register.php in your theme to make big changes, or potentially hook into the action bp_before_register_page to just add some html to top of the BP page.

Best of luck.

Mail is complicated.

BP provides unsubscribe functionality, so you maybe don’t need to do that anymore. BP Email sends html emails when possible.

You might try filtering your messages in other ways. Have you read the “customizing emails” how-to? it includes an example of overriding the BP template so that the BP content is sent in your custom template.

Emails

Have you set up your BuddyPress pages?

Configure BuddyPress

If “Activate” is not set up, then WP will redirect you to your site’s home page.

You will need to modify the template file. See the Template Hierarchy article for more info.

Hi,
most probably site tracking option is disabled. Please visit settings->BuddyPress and on the component page, please make sure that site tracking is enabled.

Once it is enabled, the new post/comments will be recorded in the activity.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

BuddyPress pages are not ordinary WordPress pages. These pages should be blank, without any template assigned. BP pages exist only for internal purpose and to have their own slug (and the benefit of permalinks). The content is always dynamic and change depending the context.

That is also the reason why you shouldn’t use a “page builder” for them untill you’re very comfortable with code and design.

If you need a full width output or a sidebar, you adjust that in your theme settings or preferences. You can easely do that with WP’s Customizer. Or course reading your theme documentation can also help.

If it is not possible that way, i recommand you use a child-theme, and add him any necessary part you’re actually missing. But ensure first that these parts are really missing !

BuddyPress comes with a few CSS rules who normally fit with any correctly coded theme. This means that it actually can be used with almost any existing theme.
BuddyPress has no sidebar
BuddyPress can be viewed on any existing device
BuddyPress fit to any screen size
This means that you have to adjust your theme first, and not BP.

Hi,

open your buddypress-nk_NO.po file with a text editor (notepad++ or so) and check you have a plural form for the untranslated string.

The’re several strings containing “members” with a count, but it will be easy to find if you search for “msgid_plural”.
At least, you should find something constructed like this:

#: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/groups/invites.php:34
msgctxt "Group member count"
msgid "%d member"
msgid_plural "%d members"
msgstr[0] "%d medlem"
msgstr[1] "%d medlemmer"

Again, note that it is only an example, you may find other strings containing “medlem” that you have eventually to adjust.

The important thing to control is the existence of “%d” and naturally, the presence of the plural form string in the translation.

If you still have trouble after controling/repairing/modifying, it could be possible that it is your theme. To ensure, do the same check in your theme translation.

Other thing to take in account

I’m not 100% sure, but so far i remember, the norvegian buddypress version is not completely translated.
Unfortunately, translate.wordpress.org is actually down and it is impossible to access the plugins translations at this time…

What i expect is that you have an old po file, fully translated, but perhaps not with the most recent changes and updates, which could explain that even if you have plural forms in your translation, they won’t show up in some places.
For ex. because the plural code changed from %s (in your version) to %d or something like that.
To avoid this, you can download the most recent pot file and rename it to buddypress-nk_NO.po.
Then you rename YOUR current version to .pot(with a T), import it to the new file, and adjust or complete the missing strings.
