Hi,

you need a child theme and a small code modification.

The code is explained here.

if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) ) ) is to replace by something like (can be different)
if ( bp_has_members( 'type=random' ) )

In a “buddypress” folder of your child theme, you add a copy of this file:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

What ever you modify in that file while now be interpreted by BuddyPress. The advantage of this method is that BP can be updated while your modification in the child will always be save and taken in account over the current version.

You can also search the forum for members-loop to get other information.

Disable the “Site Tracking” component under “Settings > BuddyPress” in the WP admin dashboard. When you do this, blog posts and blog comments will not be recorded into the BP activity stream.

1,2,3,4,6 should be left to WordPress plugins as these are specific to WP.

7, 10 have been discussed as core options. It just takes time for developers and the team to finalize specs and to code as this is all done on a volunteer basis. 10 is hard because it relies on a ton of dependent code that hasn’t been written or finalized yet.

5 – There’s been some preliminary work on this. See https://github.com/buddypress/bp-types-ui.

9 – If you’re using WordPress multisite, this should be already available as a WordPress option under “Network Admin > Settings”. Otherwise, this plugin might work, but does the opposite. It restricts signup to email domains that you specify.

Notifications

2 should already be in core.
3 is a good request, but unreliable due to how the notifications data is stored. It would be easy to do for BP core notifications, but notifications generated by plugins could store the user ID differently, making this unreliable.
4 could be done via a custom template or via a small code snippet.

If the post contains an inappropriate word that you’ve set up in WP’s comment moderation settings, then BuddyPress also inherits these settings. This functionality was added in BP 2.6.0.

To disable this functionality from the Activity component, add the following to your theme’s functions.php or wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

// Do not use WP's Comment Moderation with BP Activity component
remove_action( 'bp_activity_before_save', 'bp_activity_check_moderation_keys', 2, 1 );

// Do not use WP's Comment Blacklist with BP Activity component
remove_action( 'bp_activity_before_save', 'bp_activity_check_blacklist_keys',  2, 1 );

Hi Jody,

BP pages should be empty, so it is normal you see only a title in the page preview. These pages are dynamic and completed by BP, depending the context. As site owner, you have nothing to add to them.

To get the page system to work correctly, you have to enable the permalinks. You can choose any option, except “by default”. Don’t forget to save your setting.

For more details, please read the documentation.

I visited your site, but was unable to access the member directory page or site activity page. Seems you require user to be logged in to access them… 🙁

When you are on frontend, your profile tab, you should see follwing menu items under the buddy nav bar:

View | Edit | Change Profile Photo | Change Cover Image

and the same items under your user menu (below Howdy), in the top right corner on the Toolbar, as submenu of the Profile item.

If it isn’t case, some common issues can be:
– you omitted to save your BP options
– you use a cache and see the site content from before BP installation
– there is a weird bug in a file
– your theme isn’t taylored for BuddyPress
– there is a conflict with another plugin

What you could try:
– double check your settings
– clear the cache
– reload a fresh copy of BP via FTP
– test with a Twenty theme
– you have to debug

Note also that you can only load ONE avatar or ONE cover image at a time and that you have definitely only one picture for each bundled with your account.

@johanna75 – very interesting – I wonder if this happens with the other buddypress search plugins as well. I assume you are using the standard bp members search not one of the add on profile search plugins?

You have already asked for this in the past 2 weeks!
How to add a tab or content (like user’s post) on a profile is explained in many topics if you would take a little while to search the forum.

You want to use a third party plugin, but we can’t help you for this as we are all volonteers here, who have enough to do with BuddyPress. It is to you to read the software documentation and built it in your site.

This topic is closed as duplicate. Conversation continues here.

Hi,

you have to use a group_id and to ensure you’re in an appropriate loop (activity or group)

To get a group id, you can for ex. do:

// check for a group ID
	if( bp_has_groups() ) {
		// Grab current group ID
		bp_the_group();
		$group_id = bp_get_group_ID();
	}	
	
    // apply our changes only to this group ID's
	// conditionnal action
	if ( $group_id == 22 OR $group_id == 8 ) {  

… and so on!

You may also use bp_parse_args, depending where you use your custom work. In other words, you can create a complete new activity loop on a distinct page template for only one group.

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

@malaruban – did you search the forum for this? It’s answered like very month since the beginning I think..

everyone has different suggestions..

1 many suggest “wp spamshield”

2 I like “good question” plugin on one site, but use “buddypress humanity” on another..
one I’ve considered replacing those wit his “user registration aid”

3 I also use ip geo block – biggest help on most sites.

4 strongly suggest getting the “shield” firewall plugin and going into lockdown menu and disabling xmlrpc and rest api – but your situation may vary.

I use all four plus more on various sites (just one of them from step 2)

I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/ – and it does exactly that.

page titles for member profile pages and group pages are not easy to change up – I posted some info I got a while back on this, but before I go digging for that info, I wonder if you really mean groups like buddypress groups.. since your url fragment there has “forum” in it – you may be refering to page title for the forums which I think is more of a bbpress issue (?) –

I had to add this code to my functions.php file to get rid of it.

/* Remove errors if any */
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
/* End remove Errors */

It just removes the warning, but doesn’t solve the problem that causes it. I wasn’t able to find a resolution to that and may need for my plugins to update in order to solve it. Mine was being caused by a conflict between BuddyPress and W3 Total Cache.

BuddyPress doesn’t use “a login page”. If you have a radio button for the “remember me” option, it is certainly because you’re using a third party plugin or theme or widget.

But you don’t give any detail about your config, so it is just impossible to tell you more!

Hi,

please try to search a little before asking such basic question! Ie, you would have found this one:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/create-dynamic-user-links-to-end-users-wallprofile-etc/

Can you give an example of what you tried and tell us where you did that change ?
Also, you should test BuddyPress with one of WP’s default Twenty theme before activating any other theme.

And more generally, giving some details can help too.

This field is visible by default.

If not, so the problem might be with your theme.
For other what’s new form questions, search the forum.

Some answers here:

Height what’s new form

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-textarea-resize-without-editing-the-js-script/

Simply by not using code!

Remove the call to user avatar from the templates and you’re probably done. 😉

Or if you want to code, see here and search for bp_member_avatar.

Hi,

sorry but this is not related to BuddyPress.
Dashboard access is part of WordPress and the way it is displayed on your screensht indicate that it is also theme dependant somehow.
You can hide any menu item from the WP toolbar by following these instructions

or you can chosse to active/deactive the toolbar option in BP settings or use a plugin to limit dashboard access.
