BuddyPress.org

Hi,

give details if you expect help !
Which widget are you talking about ?
“course” is not part of BuddyPress. Plugin name ? Theme ?

[Moved to another forum by OP request]

You can try this snippet which will add the link to main menu (aside About, Home etc):

function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) {      
        if (!is_user_logged_in())
                return $menu;
        else
                $profilelink = '<li><a href="' . bp_loggedin_user_domain( '/' ) . '">' . __('My Awesome Profile') . '</a></li>';
                $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
                return $menu;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );

Another way to do this is explained in this topic.

@r083r7 Hi. You’re right that BuddyPress loads page.php as its default page wrapper template. The list near the top of https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/ shows the entire template hierarchy. Adding a buddypress.php file to your theme should have it load that template.

This file should be in the root of your theme, or inside a subfolder called “buddypress”.

I forget how setting the page template in the wp-admin page editor works with BuddyPress (I think @hnla and I fixed it at a WordCamp a few years ago). But the stuff already mentioned will probably take precedence over it.

If this doesn’t work, I’m not sure.

The BuddyPress specific Menu items, including the link to the members profile page are now only avaialble from the menu options in Customize, you need to go there to find the menu item you need

Hi guys… I know this is a bit old.
I would LOVE to have it as this.
name – gender – age – city | MyWebsite.com

I use the extended profile fields (gender) <- drop down pick only one., (Birthday) as primary and (city) text box.

All are primary and required. I had something like this before (not buddypress) and I found the search results awesome.

Thank you if anyone could help.
The above code works like a charm.

Hi,

Here is plugin for Job Board.

BuddyPress Job Manager

Instant_Messenger: https://shop.opentuteplus.com/downloads/buddypress-instant-messaging/

Try logging out and then viewing them from the frontend, they don’t display if you are already logged in, though I thought they just took you to the homepage.

Failing that I would try deactivating all plugins apart from BuddyPress to see if there is a conflict.

IF that does not help try changing the theme to 2015.

It’s easiest if you enable New Users to Register before you activate BuddyPress for the first time, it then creates these pages automatically.

However if you installed BuddyPress and then enabled new users to register then you have to set these pages up yourself, it’s pretty easy, you go to Dashboard>>Pages>>Add New and create two pages, one called “Register” and the other called “Activate”.

Then you go to Dashboard>>Settings>>BuddyPress and click on the Pages option, from here you can associate the BuddyPress Activate and Register Items with the pages you just set up.

FYI, I am setting up a BuddyPress Blog and have just published an article on setting up BuddyPress for the first time, you may find it useful.

BuddyPress User

I’m going to follow up with testing and configuring your BP site pretty soon.

Better to prevent spam users to register at all. There are a lot of plugins, that help with it.
I use WP-SpamShield successfully on a BuddyPress site.

Can BuddyPress send all other emails? Like new message, groups changes etc?
So, is the email with activation link the only email, that is not sent by BuddyPress?

Here is related Codex page.
You will need to change in your template something like this:

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : ?>

to this:

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&per_page=10' ) ) : ?>

Check your theme /buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php file. If you don’t have it, just copy this file (preserving directories structure) from
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php

That’s definitely not a BuddyPress issue.
Make sure that you don’t have some “security” plugin activated, that might prevent the usual login process.

AFAIK, installing BuddyPress on a subdomain of WordPress MultiSite won’t give you BP widgets (and other content) on a main site, thus you won’t be able easily (without coding) display BuddyPress content on any site in the network, excerpt the BP-site.
So BuddyPress content will be available only on site where you activated BuddyPress.

I hope I’ve answered your question.

So bp.example.com is the subdomain, that you use for BuddyPress. Does it have separate WordPress installation (not related to example.com)?
Is WordPress on your example.com MultiSite or ordinary?

You definitely should try first to re-save page structure in Admin area => Pages => Members.
Users profile inherits everything related to that page (like slug and structure), BuddyPress just substitutes that page content, so all its settings should be in place.

That’s quite a lot of custom code.
All that activities are not related to BuddyPress directly. Although you can store them in activity directory when that action was performed using bp_activity_add() function.

But as everything you described is not a default WordPress and BuddyPress functionality – I strongly advice you to find some developers, that will implement all that.

You’ll probably need to be a little more specific as to what you have done and are looking to control. BP provides many paths to custom styling you can create a child theme and then copy various BP templates or the stylesheets to it to modify, or you can create a new buddypress.php template from the themes page.php and redefine the get_template calls for header or footer so new unique ones are called when BP screens are being shown.

The BP codex has all these details, have a hunt through the theme section and a read of the template hierarchy to learn how you can introduce new template parts.

But re-state what you’re trying to do in a little more detail as we may be able to give better suggestions on how to achieve.

Hi,

if you mean mailing blog posts to members and if you use BuddyPress only for it’s group component, you have better to use WP Groups plugin. You don’t need BP.

if you mean group notices, you can code something yourself or use this plugin or this one and send the post permalink to the group users.

Not exactly what you asked for, but i have no better idea.

For the phone question, i’ve never heard about such an app.

hi @lemonsmcgee,

this question is documented on codex

Emails

hi @sherissa_r,
i asked on Slack where @hnla answered that “clearly something is wrong”. I opened a ticket, just in case of.

Now we’ve to wait a little moment the time a dev can investigate this.
