BuddyPress.org

no setting in BuddyPress you have to add custom code https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/buddypress-cover-images/

You’re wrong and it is not a BP question.
If you’re not comfortable with coding, i would at your place use a working plugin instead of trying to customize something i don’t completely understand.

There is a similar one called Compliments (and up to date). Will be easier (perhaps) to adapt or even use as is for your needs ? 😉

If I can go BuddyPress pages, I can make those changes.

No, not exactly ! BP pages are not ordinary wp pages.

Do you use a child theme ? If so, read Salutation doc first, then check the child theme and sse if it is updated for BP 2.7 new template

As Salutation is a premium theme, we can’t help you much more with this (small) issue. Afaik you have to ask on the theme support.

Sounds like a theme thing, I’m not an expert in theme things yet but my first port of call would be my theme developer to see if there were settings you could change to change that page. There’s probably at worst case a bit of custom CSS that you can add to your theme. Whilst BuddyPress may be calling that content it’s the theme that is delivering it and obviously a page still configured with the old settings.

For a single field, follow the directions in the code.

BuddyDev have a plugin that allows you to change the username – http://buddyuser.com/plugin-review-buddypress-username-changer

You might want to take a look at my website. It’s for people just starting out with BuddyPress, it might give you some ideas.

There’s a plugin to force the user to select an Avatar before they user your site – http://buddyuser.com/plugin-review-buddypress-force-profile-photo

Some of your questions you need to ask your theme creator, though if it’s not a BuddyPress theme they may not be much help.

Hi @sixthgalaxy,

you can use bp_get_template_part function.

Depending what you’re building, consider also this function.

@andrewteg,

there is a little link on your example to another codex page who give’s you the main reason for using a wrapper.

It is not required, but strongly recommended. Depending what, where and how your code should run, they are diffrent other ways to ensure that BP is active.
the classic php if_class_exist()
or more a la BP specific

if ( function_exists('bp_is_active') ) {
  // do something here...
}

Hi @excel1,

such URL is odd and shouldn’t appear on a correctly install setup:
example.com/index.php/beispielbeitrag/

In brief, your install WP at the site root which is: exemple.com
BP is a wp plugin and by the way, will also be at the root.

And as wp is also a blog, that blog is also at example.com (on a page defined in wp’s Read settings).

This means that you can create a page for the blog and name it “besipielbeitrag” and asign this page to posts in WP settings. And make it private or whatever.

BP members or groups will be at exemple.com/members/ or example.com/groups/ and the users at example.com/members/USERNAME/

index.php is one of the files in a theme, but has nothing to do with BP pages or a dedicated blog page.

Also, if emxampel.com and example.com are 2 URL for the same site, or if you installed wp in emxampel.com and BP in example.com, BP won’t work.

I would recomend you to read attentively the install guide from the begin.

The basic layout of the items on the right side of the registration screen can be affected by moving the fields around in Dashboard>>User>>Profile Fields.

You can drag and drop them and that will affect the order that they are displayed.

An alternative might be to install BP Better Registration, which creates a different type of registration process.

You might benefit from visiting my website http://buddyuser.com It’s aimed at newbies looking to get the most out of BuddyPress.

@venutius is right; a .mo file is the way to go. Check out this article which should help get you started:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Please take a minute to read this post: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/
Short answer: /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

Ok so it goes in the plugins folder alone? Not in the buddypress folder?

Place it in bp-custom.php
Then it won’t matter which theme you use.

Use this filter hook: apply_filters( 'bp_members_signup_custom_column', '', $column_name, $signup_object );
Found at the bottom of: buddypress\bp-members\classes\class-bp-members-list-table.php

You need to look into setting up a template overload of the files that create those pages:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

I’ve not used visual composer, only siteorigin so far, with site origin you create a grid of columns and rows and you can insert any widget into any Page Builder block

Just guessing…
Instead of a filter, try using the action hook:

add_action( 'bp_legacy_theme_ajax_querystring', 'sbpp04_hide_from_ajax_search', 50, 2 );

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_ajax_querystring/

This function will redirect everyone, other than site administrators, to the home page when they try and access the members directory.
Put it in bp-custom.php.

function grim_members_directory() {

	if ( bp_is_members_directory() && ! is_super_admin() )
		bp_core_redirect( site_url() );
	
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'grim_members_directory' );
