That sounds like what I want to be able to do. I’d prefer to use CSS if possible over JS but either way is fine.
I’m thinking It will take modifying that buddypress template(?) as a child in my theme directory. I’m prepared to do the work, but I’m still learning how buddypress works, and I’m unsure where to start exactly.
Sure thing. I want to be able to have users post in those three post-types because of how they function. A blog post (custom post type) is suited for a story, a longer-form thing. A forum post is great for Q/A, and a “Tutor Tip” for example sits somewhere between a blog post and a simple status update, so I’m thinking about a second custom post type.
The main UX design choice for this is to have all of those options in one place, rather than sub-pages or sub-menus, etc.
It’s also easy for our moderators to be able to “feature” a blog post.
With buddypress, it’s my understanding that blog posts (with plugins like buddyblock, etc) show up in the activity feed, forum posts can be told to show up in the activity feed.
My thought is either to have three fields(Story, Question, Tip) , which have buttons that toggle their respective visibility.
Or
Have the one field, and the buttons change the destination on submit to one of the three.
Does that help?
This kinda sounds more like an authentication problem that one with BP per se, but you say it only happens on the BuddyPress login, not the WordPress login? When you say “run it on a responsive sit” what do you mean?
No – as I no longer had the option to login vi a BuddyPress
Its the login widget on this page that is the issue and disappears when i deactivate the plugins

Is it just the BuddyPress pages, or the whole site? When you took BuddyPress down did that solve the problem?
Hey
My domain is getswing.co.uk
I run BuddyPress and BBpress to have profiles and forums.
The system works great for desktop – however, when I try to login using mobile (existing account that works on desktop, or new account) I receive a white screen that says blocked only.
I have asked multiple people to test and get the same issue.
I have tried
– deleting and reinstall BuddyPress and BBpress
– Testing multiple variations of sign ups and accounts
Help!!!!
Hey gang,
I’m looking to build a switchable “What’s New” input box.
Basically, I need to be able select from three options:
Blog Post (Custom post type)
Question and Answer (Forum Post, to specific Q/A Forum)
A Tip (Another Custom Post Type)
I’m thinking three buttons above or below the “What’s New” field that switches where the “What’s New” Field posts to.
Using WordPress 4.9.5 and Buddypress 2.9.4, building a custom theme.
Wordpress 4.9.5, BuddyPress 2.9.4, BuddyBoss Theme, http://www.torus.drumsbygenre.com
I am trying to hide all admin accounts from all BuddyPress touch points using this code found on the BuddyDev website:
add_filter( ‘bp_after_has_members_parse_args’, ‘buddydev_exclude_users_by_role’ );
function buddydev_exclude_users_by_role( $args ) {
//do not exclude in admin
if( is_admin() && ! defined( ‘DOING_AJAX’ ) ) {
return $args;
}
$excluded = isset( $args[‘exclude’] )? $args[‘exclude’] : array();
if( !is_array( $excluded ) ) {
$excluded = explode(‘,’, $excluded );
}
$role = ‘administrator’;//change to the role to be excluded
$user_ids = get_users( array( ‘role’ => $role ,’fields’=>’ID’) );
$excluded = array_merge( $excluded, $user_ids );
$args[‘exclude’] = $excluded;
return $args;
}
This code seemed to have worked for a lot of people but isn’t currently working for me. I tried putting it into my child theme’s functions.php and also tried making a bp-custom.php file in my wp-content/plugins directory and that didn’t work either. I even refreshed cache and cookies after each of these attempts. Still nothing.
I’m not advanced when it comes to this stuff. I know that I must be doing something wrong. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I’m seeing the pattern now. Even in forums more than a decade old (and before @ mentions became a feature on many sites), people used @username even if it did nothing. This was simply shorthand for getting a specific person’s attention in a thread with many participants.
Looks as though BuddyPress is trying to be smart and pull these @ mentions from old content and add them to the activity stream. Since it’s a new addition to the activity stream, BuddyPress also thinks it’s new and therefore sends out an email notification. This is why it only affects old members.
Now… How do stop it?
Stopping notifications across the board is not a good idea. Even if I do it now and turn it back on later, we’ll never know when an old member might join us again. So really the only solution is to have BuddyPress stop importing old forum posting with the ‘@’ character into a new activity.
Still open to suggestions. Thanks.
I had an old WP site that came back to life. It was running phpBB, and I successfully imported everything to bbPress. In the new site, we are also using BuddyPress. Old users are reporting that they are now getting email notifications on replies from forum posts that are many years old.
After first posting this to the bbPress support forums, I kept digging. The email notifications came from BuddyPress. I initially thought it was bbPress, since it was linked to a forum reply. But apparently, after the old users logged into the new site as themselves again, BuddyPress grabbed the forum replies (even though really old) and added them to the user’s activity stream. The activity stream sees it as a new mention to another member, and that triggered the email notification.
Ideas and guidance are appreciated.
Dear Forum,
I’d like to disable the email confirmation from the old email address when a user change from setting menu its account email. I know it is dangerous but I really need it.
If it is not possible for you to write for me the code, could you please at least give me some suggestions? What is the file I have to edit? I tried to do some edit to /plugins/buddypress/bp-settings/bp-settings-actions.php but I think it is not the right file. I tries also /plugins/buddypress/bp-settings/bp-settings-template.php but this control only the pending email confirmation alert (Check your email (%1$s) for the verification link, or cancel the pending change).
Is there somenone who can help me?
Thank you in advance!

Because the object cache caches query results from the database and if you modify the database – either directly or using WP’s DB APIs – you to clear it. Otherwise you’ll end up with inconsistent results.
Using WP-CLI is probably easiest for this: https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/cache/flush/
If you don’t know enough to write these PHP commands yourself, using some shell scripting and the BuddyPress WP-CLI commands will probably be easier: https://github.com/buddypress/wp-cli-buddypress/
I’m pretty sure you can do this by creating your own translation of the BuddyPress pot file for the field (Required) which is on line 1455 of the pot file. for details of how to do this you could look at buddyuser dot com/changing-the-text-used-in-buddypress-and-other-plugins
Hi, I’d like to know how to edit the form of create site? Because it is diferent than edit the form of register a user and the form of create a site… I have my configuration like this https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/
And I want to change the form of create a site.
Hi all,
I also have this problem. It is BuddyPress bug or?
Thanks for help 🙂
PHP error log files are another source of information.
p.s. WordPress does not have a “birthday date” field by default. BuddyPress provides the “Extended Profile” screen. If some other plugin has added a field with that same name/heading, and BuddyPress causes it to disappear, then there’s probably some sort of code conflict you’d need to investigate.
As I said above, PHP error logs are a good place to start figuring this. And venutius’ suggestion to use Query Monitor to see if the cause is a slow DB query.
@johnnymarin Searching the BuddyPress code base for “Extended Profile” would have shown you the relevant WordPress action hooks to use are edit_user_profile and show_user_profile.
Have a look at class BP_Members_Admin->profile_nav() for an implementation example. 🙂
This was originally commented on an old post https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-ajaxpost-calls-very-slow-when-it-sends-emails/
It’s tempting to draw conclusions about is_slow() from that other post but realistically that assumption needs testing.
@kpkna I would like BP to send emails asynchronously in the future — I think the WordCamp website codebase has an approach we could adopt.
I think you need to provide more information. There’s several links in the other post you wrote in, and some of those give clues as to what could be useful to know. I’m personally not planning to debug this now, because it might be SMTP-specific or server-specific, but collecting patterns and observations will help me or another contributor make this better in the future.
It’d be interesting to know:
* Where is your site hosted?
* Is your server using SMTP?
* Who are you sending emails *through*? Gmail?
* Does your server support IPv6 for SMTP traffic?
etc
thanks
First thing to try is to recompile the BuddyPress emails in the Dashboard>>Tools>>BuddyPress page. If you’ve modified them though your changes will be lost.
I’m using BuddyPress for my new membership, and the notifications emails members receive from BuddyPress when someone tags a member in a forum post (using bbPress) are showing html code.
If someone customizes a post, like adds smiley faces, or bold, italicized text, it shows up like this below.
Susie mentioned you in a status update:

I’ve got a vanilla install of BuddyPress and it allows the user to change the visibility, so in your case there must be something interfering with the operation of this.
Options:
1. unload all other plugins, see if you can change the profile visibility, if that fails change your theme to 2017 and try again.
2. It’s possibly a javascript issue, check the js console in your browser for reported errors.
Hi there,
the directory that is attempting to be created should be uploads/buddypress/groups/5/cover-image/
I usually get this error when I’ve hit a limit on my host and it won’t let me create a new one. Could you check your hosting limits have not bee breached?
This is broken in Firefox. We have a fix and targeting it for the 3.0 release: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7676
Hi Buddypress,
I had a question about the visibility of the profiles on my website. We use Buddypress but we cant change the visibility of the profiles. Also not the Admin Profiles.
View post on imgur.com
You see that the visibility is not changeable and locked on “Everyone”
Please let me know what is wrong with it.
I’m getting the same as you, or at least on mine it works better on Chrome than it does on Firefox. I think you should raise a trac ticket for it.
