BuddyPress.org

(This error message in your screenshot refers to some other plugin, not BuddyPress. But anyway:)

To remove any plugin in WordPress, go into wp-content/plugins/ with FPT or however, and delete the plugin folder — in this case, BuddyPress.

If you visit your-site.com/wp-admin/plugins.php directly, WordPress should disable the missing plugin.

If you happen to not be logged in, and so can’t get into wp-admin because of the error… you could edit something in the database with SQL, but it sounds like you aren’t technically proficient with SQL to do this (it’s easy to break something else), so the last option — and this is a nuke — rename your theme folder to something else, rename the entire plugins folder to something else, then you should be able to log into wp-admin. WordPress will switch to one of the default twenty* themes. You can then rename the plugin folder back and start reactivating them one-by-one, and then switch the theme back.

“need a FTP script” – tried filezilla?
I use smart ftp more often, but filezilla is free last I checked.

ftp in, download a backup of all the files.

Don’t know what you mean by “SQL script to remove buddypress” – I would use phpmyadmin to login to your sql database, click export, custom, check ‘add drop table’ – and save a copy..

then I would go to (via ftp or file manager in cpanel) – site / wp-content/plugins

I’d rename the plugins folder to /plugins-hold – then create a new /plugins folder

at that point you should be able to login to the site if you to sitename/wp-admin/

I’d immediately check appearance – themes – change to default.. then start adding the needed plugins one by one.. if you find that enabled two plugins at once causes a problem – you probably have found the conflict.

Of course it could be a theme issue, a corrupt database, a hacked site – who knows.. but that’s what I would do.. I’m not an expert, and double check the documentation at wordpress.org for making backups. ( https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups )
Hope that helps.

@phound1

have you tried to see if bp emails work when the other plugins are disabled?

maybe some of things we posted about in the forums long ago may offer some clues as to where the hiccup is. I stiff refer to https://buddypress.org/support/topic/not-receiving-notification-of-new-user-registration/ on occasion.

Hi,

for 1) try
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . 'type=alphabetical' ) ) : ?>

For 2) read here perhaps it helps

On any decent server config, warnings and errors will not be shown on screen in production environments. Instead, it’ll be written to a log file. So you will still have the problem.

Try switching back to your real theme (so the warning comes back), and then disable plugins one-at-a-time. See if you can figure out if it’s a combination of one plugin and your theme causing the problem.

Is this a custom theme you wrote? Or did you buy from somewhere? Are BuddyPress templates defined in the theme (it’d be in your_theme/buddypress/ subfolder)? If it’s isolated to only your theme and not your theme+plugins, you’re going to have to debug through the members templates and figure it out.

BuddyPress doesn’t have a wall feature like how you think it does. You’ll need to check out a Wall plugin for BuddyPress, maybe http://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddyboss-wall/

You could use member types to create child and adult types and add a radio button to the BuddyPress registration form?

Member Types

Using BP Theme Compat in Plugins.

BuddyPress has no more theme since 1.9. The old BP-Default theme is only in for backward compatibility.
If you build a plugin for BP, i don’t think you need to build an extra theme for it. BP use only templates, who have enough flexibility to fit with almost any theme.

Globally, for a plugin, you have to match with BP’s templates, not with a theme or another.

Ie. if you need a setting screen on profiles, you can use a simple call to a kind of pre-build template you can use for plugins
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );

By using this, you’re on the profile with a new tab related to your plugin and automatically also integrated to the user’s theme. In other words, BP takes in account your plugin and the theme takes account of BP.

I wouldn’t recommand to build a theme with a plugin, as they are so many different themes on hand. If you don’t fit to the majority of them for any obvious reason, you’ll get in high difficulties if you are to specific. Don’t forget that you will have a plugin support to manage…

Made it simple and efficient and if possible, easy maintainable and upgradable. For you but also for any user type.

Here’s an example of what’s allowed:

Activity Stream Plus for BuddyPress

Note, the following is an example of what isn’t allowed:

BuddyPress Activity Stream Plus

You may come across older plugins that use the 2nd naming style. That’s because the guidance above was introduced by the WordPress Plugin Review Team relatively recently.

Some documentation here:

Using BP Theme Compat in Plugins

Hi @tronix-ex,

Give this a try. Read more will only appear again if you use more than 500 000 characters…
Add to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_excerpt_length( $length ) {	

$length = 500000; // adjust the length to desired number of characters 

// Is the current page a user's activity stream page ?
	if( bp_is_user_activity() ) {
	  return $length;
	}
}
add_filter( 'bp_excerpt_length', 'bpfr_excerpt_length', 11, 1 );

Hi,

you can use BuddyPress in the plugin name, under condition the public can understand clearly that it is an add-on FOR BP and not a part OF BP.

For the domain name, i presume it’s the same trademark condition as for wordpress: no, you can’t. You can use bp-something[dot]com but not buddypress-something[dot]com

BuddyPress comes like WordPress under GPLv2 license and has similar terms of use.

Please, don’t double post ! You have already asked the same question here:

How to show bp resume view page on home page of buddypress

Closing this topic as duplicate.

I am having the same issue. I need members to be able to sign up themselves with a confirmation email rather than me having to approve them manually. This problem also affects my ability to set up a commerce page. I am using BP 2.6.2 with the WP Spirit 01 Theme. I am not using any other Buddy Press plugins other than just BuddyPress.

@fearthemoose, @rezbiz,

Here “the best guarded secret” finally revealed !
But it’s not a secret, is part of Codex and a multi handled topic subject on this forum.

What we want to do: remove access possibility.
Where: on BuddyBar navigation menu (the one below the profile header).
Specifics: make the activity and forum tabs only visible to the logged in user.

NOTE: The activity tab is shown by default when you visit a profile.

As we are going to hide/remove this tab to visitors, we need to define as first another default tab. If we won’t do that, the visitor will get a Page not found error. Which is not exactly the case here, the page exist but the visitor can’t access it.

Let’s define arbitrary Profile as the new default tab. You can of course define what ever other existing tab on your BuddyBar as default.

Add this line to bp-custom.php
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT','profile' );

Now the mega “open secret” !

The folowing snippet contains almost any BP menu items you can have on a BuddyBar, and includes also the Forum item, in case you use bbPress.
You can remove or comment out those you don’t want to use.
Note also that it is only an example – you have to play with it to fit your need. But at least you have the right syntax to use.
Note also that some profile menu items are user only, such as message or notice. In other words, these are always private.

This function goes preferably to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;
	 /**
	 * class_exists() & bp_is_active are recommanded to avoid problems during updates 
	 * or when Component is deactivated
	 */

	if( class_exists( 'bbPress' ) || bp_is_active ( 'groups' ) ) :
        
        /** here we fix the conditions. 
        * Are we on a profile page ? | is user site admin ? | is user logged in ?
        */
	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() && !is_user_logged_in() ) {

        /* and here we remove our stuff ! */
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'activity' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );
	}
	endif;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

Some other hints for privacy
if you want to allow only the profile owner to view some tabs, replace
!is_user_logged_in by !bp_is_my_profile() – this scenario doesn’t need a check for logged in users as it is made by bp_is_my_profile.

If you want only to make a profile private, read here.

If you want to remove a sub-nav item (ie. View on Profile), you use something like:
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'view' );

Many other possibilities for navigation are also available, including for groups. Several examples are given on Codex, here.

And if not enough, RTFM and search the forum ! 🙂

Have fun !

They are filters for timestamp.
To get some text before the ago part, try this:

function text_pre_timestamp() {

$var = 'custom text %s'; // %s = timestamp
   return $var;

}
add_filter( 'bp_core_time_since_ago_text', 'text_pre_timestamp' );
