BuddyPress.org

I spent a lot of time on a similar issue and the only thing that worked was using this format.

date(“Y-m-d 00:00:00”)

In other words must have h:i:s but they must be zeros. That seems like a bug to me but thats the only thing that worked with a buddypress date field whilst using xprofile_set_field_data

Add the code to bp-custom.php

bp-custom.php

Read also here, might help for test

Group Types option display

Such snippet is usually working when added to bp-custom.php

bp-custom.php

Iam using buddypress and I dont need block users.
I have menu with notify. It takes me about 15 min.
Search activities by Date is what I have never want.

Less talking more teaching.

@sbrajesh Yes, but without Bubbles or Notifications.
How I can obtain notify for Dashboard->Appearance->Menus->Buddypress (links)->Message, Notifications, Friend requests ??

Please do not at-mention people just to get attention. I normally stop reading if I see I’ve been pinged in a list like this by someone trying to get attention.

That said, thank you for your feedback.

All your Google image links are broken, and if they are screenshots asking “how can I do this”, if you can’t code (or want to spend time learning to do this), then you need to hope there’s a plugin out there you can buy, or hire a freelance developer to build it for you. Very few people build things for others for free, and it’s at a cost to those people, even if it’s free for you.

To comment on some of your points from my own perspective, and not on behalf of the entire BuddyPress team and all its contributors:

• I would also like to see better user communication management tools/preferences! (i.e. blocks). I think some of this will have to happen in the BuddyPress software, and some will happen in third-party plugins that extend the behaviour. There are already some plugins that deal with small parts of these areas.
• Chat, Message Attachments, Media — these are complicated, and I’m pretty sure will never be included in BuddyPress itself. They would make good third-party plugins. I think there are a couple of Chat plugins available already.
• (auto-)confirm accounts after sign-up — I believe this is seriously unsafe, so it will never be included in BuddyPress. Another plugin opportunity!
• Global search is something we always wanted, I don’t know if we still do. A very early BuddyPress default theme about 7 years ago had something similar, I think. I remember playing around with it. Maybe it’s time to bring it back. 🙂
• Sharing tools is pretty interesting. I think I’m personally quite keen to do some stuff like this, but it’d need some experimenting to see whether it felt as if it would fit into the BuddyPress software, or a third-party plugin, or some of both.

So… you CAN log into WordPress with your email address and password. On example.com/wp-login.php, it even says “Username or Email” and “Password”. Is this the main log in that you are talking about?

I have just tested the BuddyPress log in widget and I can log in using the email address.

I am a bit baffled why this doesn’t work for you. Please can you remove any relevant code customisations, and just test it again?

If you can’t log into /wp-login.php using an email address and password, you should try the WordPress.org support forums first and get that fixed, because that’s how it should be working.

Hi @romanreignempire

You need to change a WordPress settings — you need to enable permalinks. Your WordPress blog URLs look like: example.com/index.php/roman-reigns/ and we need to have them look like example.com/romain-reigns/. This is required to have BuddyPress work.

If we’re lucky, you can go into wp-admin and Settings > Permalinks, then pick anything other than “Default”. Then save, and check if your blog post links have changed, and if they still work.

If they DON’T work, you need to fix that first. There is lots of information on the web about enabling WordPress permalinks, and if you have a good web host, oftentimes they will know how to enable them if they are disabled by default for some reason.

I guess that means that when a user registers on one of the multi-sites he can use his account on all the other websites of the Multi-site installation, right ?

Yes, but understand that you have to give that user access to those other sites (in wp-admin) to write blog posts, for example. If a user does not have explicit permissions to a specific multisite site, they won’t have any special access; they’ll only be able to read the content as if they were another normal visitor. You can test this right now, without BuddyPress, and see how it works.

meaning it takes him out of the French Website to put him onto the English on

You seem to be using multisite to have your content localised into different languages. This is a common approach for WordPress multisite, but BuddyPress does not work the way you want it to in this situation.

You can activate BuddyPress in a few different ways. Simply, on multisite, you can activate the plugin on a specific site, or network-wide. There is lots more detail at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/ but if BuddyPress is activated network-wide, all the BuddyPress content will only appear on one site (we call this the “root blog”). We use redirects to support this, exactly as you’ve found.

You can’t have BuddyPress active on a multisite that uses the sub-sites as different languages, and have the BuddyPress social network appear on all of them and work in the same way, except with different translations. It doesn’t work that way out the box…

…however here is an advanced setting you can use to make BuddyPress behave like this: BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG

See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/bp_enable_multiblog/
I would encourage you fully test this setting out if you enable it, before you start building the rest of your site, just to understand and confirm its behaviour.

🙂

@dioniq Did this work with a previous version of BuddyPress? If so, what version?

While the developers of that plugin are contributors to BuddyPress, you’re best to try requesting support via that plugin’s forums: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-docs

@vicky0007,

do you mean a static message or as setting option ?

You can deploy a static message on the create step #2, by using this snippet inside of bp-custom.php

function bpex_custom_message_group_creation() {
	if( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) && bp_is_group_creation_step( 'group-settings' ) ) :

		echo 'Only group admins are allowed to post';

	endif;
}
add_action( 'bp_before_group_settings_creation_step', 'bpex_custom_message_group_creation' );

As setting option, read here:

Group Extension API

Hi there,

Regarding question 2, I think that you need to set up a custom home page for your groups using BP Group Extras. That way you get to have the intro text as long as you like without it encroaching on the group cover image. you can also add some other cool features is you do this such as adding extra images and video’s into the group description, you can even add short codes to display group comments and forum entries on the same page.

I’ve written a guide as to how you can do this here:

http://buddyuser.com/creating-great-group-home-pages-with-buddypress-group-extras

You wanted code ? Here it is, but no need to get rude by using uppercase ! Searching the forum brings some topics about “notification”

See if it still works:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/notifications-template/

look through this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-notifications-widget/

The code could be reused to create a menu

Hi @bid9jafd,

a different way is explained here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-possibility-to-change-base-name/#post-230718

This is not a BuddyPress issue. Contact PMPRO support.

I did find this, use are your own risk.

http://codegists.com/snippet/php/pmpro-buddypress-membership-protectionphp_eighty20results_php

bp_core_new_nav_item()

bp_core_new_nav_item doesn’t need

‘parent_url’ => $bp->displayed_user->domain,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->profile->slug,

remove those.

create a function to redirect

function my_redirect() {
    if ( 'community' === bp_current_component() ) {
        bp_core_redirect( 'your link here );
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_redirect' );
