BuddyPress.org

If you consider all your users to have the same ability to publish, you can simply setup WP’s default role from subscriber to author. You don’t need a plugin to do that. To allow categories, search on WP codex, as this has nothing to do with the fact you use BuddyPress.

For customizing the Howdy menu item, use this custom snipet or take one of the existing plugin to do that.

BuddyPress’s toolbar menu works like any other toolbar sub-menu item.

See WP codex for details

Read here for some usage examples explained in details:

How to hide / remove the General tab under Settings

You can create a job listing here.

If you do, you may want to include answers to the questions that danbp asked above.

OK, so fresh over-install (copying overtop of running site) of 4.7 and as soon as I turn on buddypress, I loose the admin completely. Take it out of the folder via ftp, then I get admin back. Thoughts.
New godaddy hosting account
Wordpress 4.7
current BuddyPress.

1. Yes

2. You mean WP posts ? Yes, if you give them permissions.

3. They can ‘friend’ each other. There is a plugin re ‘Follow’.

4. Probably – but you’ll need to customize the Follow plugin.

You should install BP on a test site and start trying different settings and additional plugins.
After you have done that, you can ask more specific questions here.

Use this fork, fixed it

BuddyPress display members, but those members are referenced in WordPress. No idea to share about what you want to do, but have you searched on the plugin repo ?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=Amazon+Services

Activity is the default tab when you are on a profile. If you want to remove it, you must first define a new default landing tab.

Details in this topic.

Just in case of, bp-custom.php file doesn’t need a CLOSING php tag.

You can use the same technique as the one given on your other topic.
Search the forum for examples or read on codex how to conditionally display a template.

@baramagnus,

official requirements for WP (hosters) are given here. Minimum php version for WP is 5.2.4, while most used php version is 5.6
More WP stats here.

BuddyPress users use all 5.3 and above (as of preliminary 2016 survey results).
This means that if you use 5.6, you’re anyway fine.
And about WP and BP compatibility, you can read here.

Hi @pimous,

if you mean the Update form (wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypres/activity/post-form.php), you just have to add a conditionnal into the template file, from within your child-theme.
Something like

if ( is_super_admin ) {
   // if user is admin, show him the form, otherwide, do nothing
   bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );
}

For a general idea and more details, read here:

Hi @mohamedalikortli,

thank you for the sharing, but I am afraid that your proposal is not acceptable in regard of coding best practice. I let your snippet in place, but i also warn all readers to use it, unless they know what they do.

This forum is public and most users coming here for help are querying at first for BuddyPress related issues solution, not third party plugin tricks like the one you share here. The majority is also not very comfortable with php or even site development.
This aspect is one of the main reason to provide usefull and safe code.
IT IS NOT THE CASE HERE – and i wouldn’t recommand it.

Not because it doesn’t or wouldn’t work ( and i haven’t tested it), but because it is not correctly written. Allowing such a snippet is like encouraging (and by the way perpetuating) bad practices. Hopefully you understand and agree that we don’t want this on the BuddyPress support forum.

@sbrajesh ‘s BuddyPress Clear Notification plugin was last updated in march 2016, which is pretty recent. I doubt that the bug is in his plugin and i expect more a menu related issue… but this is only an expectation of mine.

If you estimate that your workaround is helpfull for that plugin, get in touch with Brajesh or publish it on the plugin support.

By the way, next time you publish code on this form, use the code button available on the editor toolbar to insert it properly.

FYI about what you did wrong or not properly:
– hacking a core file. Notification template should be used, but from inside a child-theme, not directly from bp-legacy).
– comments should be in english (some in your example are in french)
– your recommendation is against all WP usage:

copy this script into ur document root where u have installed ur wordpress

– you can add custom code via bp-custom.php. There is also no need to go to wp root, when you can do the same thing from within your child-theme.
– why do you recall jquery ? It is already loaded when you run BP…
– i’m not a developer, but i’m pretty sure there are other things to mention about coding.

In regard of the script itself, BP provide much simplier way to delete notification or show a delete button: reference.
You’re also using french in that script.

Calling a file “test” is ok, but in that case you should provide some explanation on how to finally use your snippet. As already said, not everybody here is able to understand – and use raw code – when you provide a workaround. Providing code is fine, providing code+tutorial is always better.

Désolé d’être sévère et rien de personnel, mais juste une mise au point nécessaire.

hi @tallerwp,

this is documented in Codex. Read here:

Navigation API

You can aso find other examples by searching the forum.

Here’s my solution… Place this into your child-theme’s / BuddyPress activity-loop.php

<?php $number = 1;
	while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();
	if ($number == 10){
		echo 'ADSENSE_CODE_HERE';
	}
	$number++; ?>

This makes the content appear after the first 10 activity streams but then it goes by every 20. Works for me though 🙂

@johnjamesjacoby This specific error has already been fixed in BuddyPress trunk a couple weeks ago (I don’t have the changeset number to hand). netweb fixed an identical problem in bbPress a couple of months ago: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6113/trunk

The issue reported by @larsivar two weeks ago is by a change in PHP 7.1. We have fixed this specific issue for an upcoming release — our ticket tracking PHP 7.1 is here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7392

While we could ship a release today to fix that specific error, there is at least 1 other PHP 7.1 error that I know about, which is in WordPress itself, which I reported here https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39277

We’ll do more testing for PHP 7.1 in BuddyPress in the first couple weeks of the new year (probably) and ship what fixes we have. We may or may not choose to wait for the next minor release of WordPress (4.7.1) before doing that. Still to be determined.

@wautersandreas and @danbp Fatal errors with that exact message are caused by a change in PHP 7.1. We have fixed this specific issue for an upcoming release — our ticket tracking PHP 7.1 is here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7392

Sorry, but we can’t assist you for premium theme or third party plugin issues. The toolbar is part of WordPress and BuddyPress only allows you to show/hide it for logged out users. See checkbox in BP’s main settings: Show the Toolbar for logged out users.

Control if you have a specific function runing in your theme functions.php file. If you don’t know how to proceed, ask for help on your theme support. If you find nothing in the theme, ask on woocommerce support.

Solution: HIDE ADMIN FROM BP WIDGETS AND DIRECTORY

This code is complementary for the other ==>

Hiding Users on BuddyPress based site

So, full code:

// Exclude Admin from Directories and BP Widgets 
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'buddydev_exclude_users' );
 
function buddydev_exclude_users( $args ) {
    //do not exclude in admin
    if( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) ) {
        return $args;
    }
    
    $excluded = isset( $args['exclude'] )? $args['exclude'] : array();
 
    if( !is_array( $excluded ) ) {
        $excluded = explode(',', $excluded );
    }
    
    $user_ids = array( 1, ); // enter user ids here
    
    
    $excluded = array_merge( $excluded, $user_ids );
    
    $args['exclude'] = $excluded;
    
    return $args;
}

// Deny access to admins profile. User is redirected to the homepage
function bpfr_hide_admins_profile() {
	global $bp; 
	if(bp_is_profile && $bp->displayed_user->id == 1 && $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1) :
		wp_redirect( home_url() );
	exit;
	endif;
}
add_action( 'wp', 'bpfr_hide_admins_profile', 1 );

// Hide admin's activities from all activity feeds
function bpfr_hide_admin_activity( $a, $activities ) {	
	
	// ... but allow admin to see his activities!
	if ( is_site_admin() )	
		return $activities;	
	
	foreach ( $activities->activities as $key => $activity ) {	
		// ID's to exclude, separated by commas. ID 1 is always the superadmin
		if ( $activity->user_id == 1  ) {			
			
			unset( $activities->activities[$key] );			
			
			$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count-1;			
			$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count-1;			
					$activities->pag_num = $activities->pag_num -1;				
		}		
	}
	
					
	// Renumber the array keys to account for missing items 	
	$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );		
	$activities->activities = $activities_new;	
	
	return $activities;
	
}
add_action( 'bp_has_activities', 'bpfr_hide_admin_activity', 10, 2 );

Group Forum use bbpress which has his own support. Ask there please.
BuddyPress doesn’t use roles outside what you setup in your WordPress settings.

Hi guys,

which theme do you use ? Try with Twenty Sixteen or fifteen, and if you deactivated the toolbar in your settings, try to activate it, then activate BP again.

Another thing to try is to not use the theme customizer. Setup WP, then BP and use a twenty theme, without customizer actions. This basic trio should work.

If your site use php 7+, try to use only php 7.0 (not 7.0.x) as BP is not ready for the very latest php version at this time… You could also try to use only php 5.6 instead of 7.0…

Just in case of, as this was already mentionned on Trac, you can follow about that issue on #7406

Hi @venutius

The explanation of this error message and how to solve it can be found here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Option_Reference
You just have to adjust the comment max links in WP settings > General > Discussion

The message is coded in bp-core/bp-core-moderation.php:135 and is applied to $max_links variable.

Also…
When you get such myterious message, the first place to check for is the pot file! All words used by BuddyPress are listed there, including file names and line numbers. That way, it is easy to get the origin, the function name or some dev’s comment for what is going on.
This trick applies also for theme and other plugins.
