BuddyPress.org

If you go to appearance > menu and click screen options in the upper right corner then check the buddypress option from the list of checkboxes it will add buddypress specific menu for profile, login, logout and others.

This is a bug with bbPress, not BuddyPress.

See the following ticket with a fix attached to it:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2974

I’m not sure there is a plugin that covers both the WordPress and BuddyPress new member moderation. I remember I asked the BP Registrations Options developer for it to include moderation of the WordPress Access but he said it was outside of the remit of the plugin.

This bug still exist actually, despite tickets #5354 (3 years old) #5808(2 years) #6854 (9 mounth).

Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to BuddyPress.org

Sounds like milestone BuddyPress.org is stone (hey Miles), devastated, completely in the wind, out of interest… Sucks.

I hope so ! FYI, we all here learned by making mistakes, errors and asking around 🙂 :

@kgrondell,

… and finally, the right way to achieve this is explained here:

Hi,
you do it wrong and it is much more simple to make customization by reading the codex.

The only thing you have to do on the custom template ( i assume you already have the template) is to create a custom member loop. To fecth the correct data to show and how to do that is explained in details here (see Code Examples):

Members Loop

You posted another question on Buddypress Profile Search support, where it appears that you try to remove the member search form.

In regard of the BuddyPress support forum, you use at least two third party plugins aside BP and perhaps proceeded to template customization !

You have to isolate the culprit: one of your plugins or your theme customization. BuddyPress is not concerned. Sorry.

Hi,

try this (add to bp-custom.php):

function add_profiles_link_to_page(){

	if ( bp_is_profile_component() || bp_is_user() ) {

	// allow link to appear only to loggedin user
	/*if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
		return false; */

	// tabed internal link : /internal link/page name/
	//$link =  bp_get_root_domain() . '/book/';

	// tabed external link
	$link =  "https://www.amazon.com/";
	
	?>
		<li><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php printf( 'My Books' ); ?></a></li>
	<?php  
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_member_options_nav', 'add_profiles_link_to_page' );

@djpaul ‘s advice is wise !
But you could try following which doesn’t compromise your security and will avoid the sky falling on your head !

First remove the filter hack, we don’t need it.

Then built your drop-down list and add only the site name instead the whole URL.

For example,
– create a new field
– call it Test drop down
– enforce visibility
– disallow clickable
– add some options: buddypress.org, wordpress.org
– save
Go to your profile > edit and choose buddypress.org. Save.
You see now buddypress.org on your profile

Now we have to make this text clickable and linked to bp.org

For this, you can use this snippet, placed in bp-custom.php

function bpfr_set_checkbox_output( $field_value ) {

// ensure xprofile is activated
if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )

// call the field
$bp_this_field_name = bp_get_the_profile_field_name();

	// field name (case sensitive)
	if( $bp_this_field_name == 'Test drop down' ) {	
	// here we change site name to url
		$field_value = str_replace('buddypress.org' ,'http://buddypress.org', $field_value);	
                $field_value = str_replace('wordpress.org' ,'http://wordpress.org', $field_value);			
	}

	// fire the result!
	return $field_value;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'bpfr_set_checkbox_output' );

Hi,

your site is pwd protected, so i removed the link to it.

You can do that by CSS from within your child-theme style.css
As it is not only BuddyPress css, but also dependent of your theme, you have to check for the correct classes and id’s to use.

1) we hide first the sidebar on the profile.
2) we enlarge the content part to full width (100%)

On each BP page is a page-id-{number}. You need it to define the style for this page only.

As example, this is working with Twenty Sixteen

/* remove sidebar */
body.page-id-0 aside#secondary {
	display: none;
}

/* enlarge content to full width */
body.page-id-0 div#primary{
	background-color: yellow;
	width: 100%!important;
}

1) & 2) /activity controls the site activities, while /members/single/activity/ controls the members activity tab on profile.

3) plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/ and plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-themes/

/bp-legacy/ contains /buddypress/ the current version templates.
/bp-theme contains /bp-default/, the historical BP theme (since 2007). This theme is relatively frozen and remains just for backcompatibility, in case some vintage coders continue to use it.

Since BP 1.9, you can use almost any existing WP theme, so far it is respecting wp theming standarts.

4) each component has a header. The respective files are in bp-legacy/buddypress/
/members/single/
/groups/single/
Here can find a list of functions/filters/hooks related to cover (bp 2.4.3)

5) impossible to say, as it depends of the instructions ! Can you give a link ?

Hi,

you add only custom css rules to /child/buddypress/css/buddypress.css
You don’t neeed to copy the whole original content to child. This avoid also to duplicate code.
Files contained in child have priority over theme.
In other terms what is not found in child (php, htlm, js, css) will be taken from the original source.
In some cases, when you create a custom css rule, you need to add !important, like this:
color: #000!important; By the way, you give high priority to the rule and you’re sure it is always interpreted.

And of course, you need to triple check what you code. CSS rules with missing semicolon, or who aren’t closed can generate issues, from not be applied to blank pages…

Hi,

that’s a wordpress question (related to wp_nav_menu_items).

See WP Codex for answers:

wp_nav_menu_items

wp_get_nav_menu_items()

wp_nav_menu_objects

Many similar related topics also on BuddyPress forum. Ie. :
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-notification-count-code/

Hi,

check the code you used for “16 minutes ago”. You will find it in the buddypress-de_DE.po file. Normally, you should have %s ago -> vor %s. If you omit % or s, the string won’t be translated.

If it’s not a typo error of yours:
– where is this untranslated “ago” string showing ? Site activity, profile, widget, other ?

– do you use a specific “buddypress” theme ?

– does the issue remain when using the “official” translation file ? If not, download it here (po & mo). Don’t forget to remove your version before adding the original one into wp-content/languages/plugins/

Have you deactivated all other plugins except BuddyPress? looks like something is causing BP to not see the files
