BuddyPress.org

You probably just need to copy the content of your old child theme buddypress directory into your new childtheme directory.

Please read the forum before asking… A similar question came up yesterday with an answer to

This modification not work… I don’t understand why

customizing profile-header

Copy the whole content of that example file into bp-custom.php.

You can also transform it into a mu-plugin by just adding it some header information.

Once done, you can test the tabs and try to understand how they work. And then apply your own preference.

@possip,

what i wanted to say was that if you use the allow header image option, BP will use a different header template. When you don’t use this option, BP will use member-header.php

The’re two component who use header’s: members and groups.

To handle groups header, it is exactly the same logic as for the members header.
In the group directory (bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups), you have 2 files named group-header.php and cover-image-header.php where you can handle goup header customization.

Try this plugin:
https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-usernames-only

For the “why”, perhaps it is because “chat” and “forum” have their own logic. Both aren’t part of BuddyPress.
Note also that there is no obligation to use all the things appearing on the templates. If you don’t want them, symply remove or hide them.

For example, the names who appear on profile header are effectively different. Why would you need to use both, that’s nonsense! I guess this is only in so you can choose which one is better for your project. And it is so because (probably) it is better and easier to choose between something you see thant between something theoretical exposed or detailed in code comments…

Note that my remark concern only the appearence, not the internal fonctionality of username vs.displayname or nicename.

In that case there’s a few options. You could try to find a plugin. If a plugin isn’t available you could suggest the feature. Alternatively you could hire a developer.

Hope this helps!

General knowledge about Groups

Groups

Your question is really too vague (a way to reorganize the groups). Groupss can already be filtered by Last Active (default), Most Members, Newly Created, or Alphabetical.

If not enough, you need to give more details about what you want.

Hello,

Buddypress plugin leads to 508 error..Whatto do

You can filter using bp_after_has_members_parse_args. Take a look here for examples:

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

Can you show us the full path you have to your child theme’s member-header.php file?

It should be your-theme/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

Note: Please do not provide a .php fix. I edited the php a couple days ago to apply a fix (unrelated to this one) and it crashed my entire site. I will not be editing the php.

I suggest then that you consider contracting a developer to do this for you or contact memberpress to provide a solution.

We are a volunteer help forum for buddypress, the best we can really do is provide code that might help you but doing that while bearing in mind offering code is more than should be expected on these sorts of forums.

That seems beyond the scope of buddypress, you may want to search for a gamification plugin. Also, don’t hold your breath on getting an answer here. For such a popular plugin, the support sucks and I’m becoming less and less of a fan of buddypress. The solutions aren’t straight forward, it’s “Here modify 20 files and create this new child theme and create 1000 lines of code”. Not a very user-friendly plugin compared to others.

Take a look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/match-me-for-buddypress/ I think this is a good start.

You need to contact the creator of that plugin: buddypress-who-clicked-at-my-profile

I was dealing with this problem too. It might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but in my case I just decided to hook into the BP signup, extract the full name, split it at the first space and then update the WordPress ‘first_name’ and ‘last_name’ user metadata fields with the results.

Here is the code you can add to your functions.php or custom plug-in:

// define the bp_core_signup_user callback 
function ac_bp_core_signup_user( $user_id ) { 
    // make action magic happen here...
    $fullname = bp_get_member_profile_data( array( 'field' => 'Name', 'user_id' => $user_id ) );
   //split the full name at the first space
   $name_parts = explode(" ", $fullname, 2);

   //set the firstname and lastname for WordPress based on the BP name
   //firstname
   if( isset($name_parts[0]) )
        update_user_meta( $user_id, 'first_name', $name_parts[0] );

   //lastname
   if( isset($name_parts[1]) )
       update_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_name', $name_parts[1] );

   //not needed for an action, but I always like to return something
   return $fullname;
}

// BuddyPress save first name last name to WP profile on signup 
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'ac_bp_core_signup_user', 10, 1 );

Thanks for the reply, so you’re saying I should rename this field to “First Name” and create a secondary field for “Last Name” ?

That’s one approach you could take.

If there is nothing special about the field, is there a hook or filter where I can replace the field entirely and map them to first / last name fields in WordPress?

I think not unfortunately. You could request one be added by opening a ticket on Trac

Yup, it’s failing on groups_is_user_member() in bp-groups\bp-groups-functions.php.

You could hack that function, but I think what you really need is a filter hook on the return.
Then your task would be simple.

groups_post_update() in bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress-functions.php uses groups_is_user_member()

You could create an enhancement ticket on trac.
