BuddyPress.org

Just search the forum for past suggestions, this thread for example explains how to change the menu ordering:

BP 2.6.1.1 – Object of class BP_Core_BP_Nav_BackCompat could not be converted to string error

Hold the presses! I’ve found a plugin that promises to deliver what you need!

Shortcodes for BuddyPress

If you install this one, it seems to have a group list shortcode where you can specify the id of the user that each group will belong to.

For example [groups-listing user_id=1]

I think this should in the least show all the groups you are a member of, WBCOM, the plugin author are also quite active and may add a feature for an admin= option.

Actually I don’t think my way will work, it only lists out the groups that the user is a member of, not groups created by you. You could ask the plugin creator to add a feature to the BuddyPress Extended User Groups widget. http://www.buddydev.com have a support forum and generally welcome suggestions for plugin enhancements.

I’m not even sure David’s suggestion is going to work for you, are you thinking about making this feature available for others to use?

Not sure if thats the issue.

I myself am having issues with the what’s new form.
Trying to change border color.

#buddypress form#whats new form {
      background-color: #82E0AA;
  padding: 4px 0 !important;
}

Regarding point 3, I have discovered one way to do this.

You would need to overload the members-header.php (if not using cover images) or cover-image-header.php file, located in plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single

Copy this file to themes/YOURTHEME/buddypress/members/single

Then after line 36 insert the following:

<div id="online">
    <?php
    global $bp;
    function check_is_user_online($user_id){
        if ( bp_has_members( 'type=online&include='.$user_id) ) return true;
        else return false;
    }
    $this_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
    $is_online = check_is_user_online($this_id);
    if ($is_online) echo "<label><img src='http://yourserver.com/wp-content/uploads/online.png' /> Online</Label>";
    else{ echo "<label><img src='http://http:yourserver.com/wp-content/uploads//offline.jpg' /> Offline</label>";}
    ?>
</div>

Replace the URL’s for the images to your own links and that should work, you can style it using the id #online

Is the link one that is supported by embed? my understanding is that only links with supported URL’s will embed, one such link would be https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/

@dro-i-de aparently this is a feature not a bug. If the user editing the fields has a bp_moderate capability, it is allowed to save empty fields. Your regular users will not.

Found it here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7483#comment:6

I tested and it works as expecteded.

Cheers

I have the same issue. Apart from the Name field, all new fields marked as required doesn’t throw errors when the user saves its profile on either on frontend and backend.

I created the fields using User > Profile fields tool, where there’s a required option. The input elements on the frontend even has ‘aria-required=”true”‘ param.

In my case, when the user leaves a field empty (i.e. deletes the info that was there previously, the db entry is simply deleted. (agreed with @dro-i-de, not the expected behavior)

How xprofile handles the fields marked as required?

running WP 4.9.4 Theme: Boss (child Theme) 2.4.2
Buddypress: 2.5.14

Hi @teljkon-

I don’t understand your points 2 and 3, but 1 can be solved easily: https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/extended-profiles/

Fields in the “Primary (Base)” profile field group are added to the registration form.

Cover images work best when the original image is large enough. You can disable cover images for groups and/or members at wp-admin > settings > buddypress > options:
• Group Settings > Allow customizable cover images for groups
• Profile Settings > Allow registered members to upload cover images

No the comments are WordPress Territory, not BuddyPress, BuddyPress is extremely light in it’s handling of posts and comments and it does not have any moderation, WordPress handles that for comments.

This is not a feature of core BuddyPress. There’s a plugin (pretty old though) called BuddyPress Moderation however this allows the post to be flagged for moderation after it has been posted, as opposed to holding posts in a moderation queue.

You could check the Register page is set correctly in Dashboard>>Settings>>BuddyPress>>Pages. There should be a dropdown there to select the register page you wish to use. It should be set automatically though.

If I were you I’ve deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress to see if you still have the issue. I’ve got a test site running 2015 and bp and here it works so it seems that it’s something specific to your site.
