BuddyPress.org

In the WordPress admin area go to Pages and then create the page. Then under BuddyPress you can assign that page as the activation page.

Make sure your registration slug is not “registration” or “signup” or any other guessable word. Change the slug frequently.

@superpuperlesha,

please, never publish username and password or any ftp crendetials when you’re not asked for.
(i removed them)
Have you tested whith Twenty Sixteen ? If you use a child theme (what ever the theme) you must first test with the parent theme and if ok, test with the child.

Did you allowed search engines (wp settings) ?
Are users allowed to comment (wp settings) ?
Is activity component enabled (bp settings) ?
Do you have an “activity” page ?
Are pretty permalinks enabled ?

More infos ? Read here:

Getting Started

@petervandoorn @henrywright @r-a-y,

Great job guys!
I updated the oembed Codex page accordingly .

Hi,

BP has only a few templates who fit with almost any (good) wordpress themes, like BuddyBoss.
Firt you have to read your theme child-theme doc and eventually about BP template hierarchy.

Update from the Trac ticket

BuddyPress uses a different hook name, but it should do the same thing. Try: bp_embed_oembed_html.

Thanks to @r-a-y for the info.

Change your theme ? Adjust CSS ? Ask the theme author ! It is not a BuddyPress issue.

When you don’t see a button, first thing to do is to ensure you see it when you use WP+BP+Twenty theme

When the base trio works, you activate your theme and you check again. If it is wrong, you know it is your theme (and not WP or BP or Twenty theme).

If you have plugins, you test’em the same way.

For what is related here, it is a CSS issue, related to your theme… You probably have to adjust the div height containing the form.

The Update form used for Site, Members and Group activities is in
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php

In this file you can see the div’s name, class, ID. Search for them in your theme style.css.
DEpendingwhat you find or not, you declare (or redeclare the css) in your child theme. Note also that the update is handled by Javascript. This means in particular that you need absolutely to use same div id and classes to get it to work. If your theme is too customized and is changing that, you have to find the difference and adjust it/them eventually.

Of course this adjustment vary from one theme to another and it is quite impossible to give you more guidance on how to handle that.

If you use standard buddypress css, you have nothing to do. but if you have create an folder buddypress/css/buddypress.css within your childtheme folder, you have to define some css styles.

Hi,

please read the woocommerce documentation. BuddyPress doesn’t use an “order” tab.
Read here BP’s navigation documentation:

Navigation API

The logout link is created on ~Line 84 of this file:
buddypress\bp-core\classes\class-bp-core-login-widget.php

You need to change the bp_get_requested_url() to site_url()
<a class="logout" href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( bp_get_requested_url() ); ?>">

However, hacking core files is not recommended.
The proper approach is to create your own widget and make the changes in your widget.
If you decide to write your own widget, also take a look at this file:
buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-widgets.php

I looked into this a while ago. I don’t know if any plugins have provided it — if so, the code will be hacky — because achieving this requires changing some data storage we do in BuddyPress, which is a bit of a complicated issue to resolve well.

The situation is BuddyPress is incompatible with PHP 7.1 as things stand. One issue means a fix in BuddyPress (which we’ve already fixed, and will have out in a release soon, but probably after Christmas), and the other issue I’ve found (which BP sites have a realistic site of running into) require a fix in WordPress, which I hope that team will get done for WP 4.7.1.

Hi,

BuddyPress is a swissknife, when used out of the box, does a lot of things. But like a swissknife, you have to choose the knife or the tool you need precisely at the moment M. And like with the famous knife, you have to do this manually.

Filtering the general activity.
There is a default filter with several options,
You can modify the activity loop display via the template,
You can write some functions for more customization.

This is pretty much for a component, and almost available for all BP components. Not exactly what you could qualify as “not built-in”… But you’re right, it is not “ready to use” via a “clickodrome” or a press’n’play customizer (not yet).

If you search the forum, yo’ll find a lot of related topics, and some with working snippets.
On the codex, you have also many information. Ie. :

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

Activity dropdown filters in templates

Hi,

It would be interesting to know why [your] developer told [you] that [your] site will not be able to manage more than 70,000 users.

Why precisely 70,000 ?

As @venutius already told you, there is no physical limit. And if you have the necessary cash to buy storage and bandwith, go ahead!

A common example for a large site running BuddyPress, is profiles.wordpress.org mentioned by lead dev John James Jacoby (in 2012). It is still the case in 2016.

1) please don’t shout! (i changed your capitalized title)
2) Global Advices is not used in BuddyPress

BuddyPress has sites with more users so there is no physical limit, however the number of users a particular installation can support is due to a large number of factors including that actual usage profile of each of those users and how you have chosen t host your install. It’s true that the larger sites often have had to undertake some pretty significant customisations in order to support such a large user base.

You can modify the pagination (example – not tested). BP use the wordpress function paginate_link()

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links

Sorry, but you’re on a very specific wordpress plugin support. It is not the place for such basic question (what are the short codes). BuddyPress doesn’t provide shortcodes.

This plugin is not common, and not the most easiest to use. The forum is maintained by volonteers, and unfortunately not by profesional teachers. If you are very new to BuddyPress, and apparently to WordPress too, you have to do your homework.

You can get starter information on both codex. For BuddyPress you get access to appropriate documentation via the above menu bar.

For WordPress, and specifically your question, click here.

Thank you for your understanding.

Unfortunately it is hardcoded here: plugins/buddypress/bp-members/classes/class-bp-members-template.php line 193

Hi Guys,

I’ve found an solution.

For childthemes you have to check the following infos:

BuddyPress Cover Images

Here is what I have paste to my child themes functions.php, and now the cover image works:

function your_theme_cover_image_css( $settings = array() ) {
    /**
     * If you are using a child theme, use bp-child-css
     * as the theme handel
     */
    $theme_handle = 'bp-child-css';

    $settings['theme_handle'] = $theme_handle;

    /**
     * Then you'll probably also need to use your own callback function
     * @see the previous snippet
     */
     $settings['callback'] = 'bp_legacy_theme_cover_image';

    return $settings;
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_xprofile_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'your_theme_cover_image_css', 10, 1 );
add_filter( 'bp_before_groups_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'your_theme_cover_image_css', 10, 1 );

OK. Let’s say that the issue is the child theme.

What is a child theme ? An empty style.css containing a header information saying to WP, hey here is a child !

Another file can be there: functions.php. This file is empty and will be filled in the time with custom functions.

With BuddyPress, you can have a “buddypress” folder, containing rewamped templates. For example, the profile header template or your member directory page…

As BP template where recently modified (2.7), you have to verify your template customization (if any). See here if it helps:

Template Updates 2.7

If you’re not concerned by templates, you have to check your custom functions or custom JS (if any)

And voila.

If you create a field group called Business Details, you simply add as many fields you want!
Let’s say, you want that users can fill about 5 companies or society. In this case, you need to create a field for each input, in other words 5 fields. And if you need more details for each, you add the fields you need, one by one:

Business 1: [___]

Address 1: [___]

Office 1 hours: [___]

Business 2: [___]

Address 2: [___]

Office 2 hours: [___]

Or if you use a lot of details, you group each businness separately.

For better clarity of the default profile details output, when you have a lot of information to display, is to use this very handy plugin: buddypress-profile-tabs
