BuddyPress.org

Perhaps simply use a show/hide comments button ?

Can you give an url so somebody can check what’s going on.

If you need some tutorial, as you begin with BP, the best is to read from the codex.
And that starts with Required !

Getting Started

That is not possible for group users. These users are already listed as site users, where you already can bulk edit their roles.

A BuddyPress Group is made of regular WP users. Being in a group doesn’t modify that, and that’s the reason why you have no role editor on the group user admin – other the ones belonging to groups (group admin or mod).
Note also that a group admin is not a site-admin, just a regular member (subscriber by default).

In other words, the group admin interface is made to manage group members only (no relation with WP and WP roles and capabilities).
And WP’s members list is to manage site users, roles and capabilities.

How can we know that, you don’t give details. Perhaps start you install correctly ?

Getting Started

You’re welcome. 😉
In case of, here’s another trick.

If you read BP auto join plugin description:
Optionally determine which group to join based on Member Type, using our BuddyPress Member Types plugin.

And as you have other conditions, you need Conditionnal profile fileds.

Field Name Favourite Games
select

Condition
If favourite is racing > Auto join Racing Group, it is music, join group music and so on

Member Types to create
arcade, action, sports, racing, music

But i can’t learn you more. You have to experiment with all this to find the best compromise.

See these plugins
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-auto-group-join/

but remember you asked first for Conditional select options […] 😉

You will find all those templates in the BP plugin in this directory:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\

If you want to change a file, you should create a template overload.

Perhaps a CSS adjustment to do ?
But first, revert to a twenty theme as it work’s now.
If you see the button with Twenty, you have a theme issue.

Reactivate your theme and check the page source code in your browser and verify that the button exist in the code.
(../members/USRNAME/profile/change-cover-image/)

This button is in a drag’n’drop area inside a script.
If you see the code but don’t see the button displayed, you have to work your CSS to get it.
Meanwhile you can try to add a picture by drag’n’drop even if you don’t see the button (it is only usefull in case drag’n’drop doesn’t work – ie when JS is deactivated).

Can’t say more…

Codex reference (in case of)

You can download the modified js file (trunk:10207) here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-core/js/bp-plupload.js?rev=10207

If it doesn’t work, revert back to original plupload.js and debug elsewhere.

Youl’ll probably have to ask your theme support in that case.
Activate also wp_debug in wp-config to eventl. get some other error msg.

Hi @mikke1978,

assuming each active BP component has his page and that this page is really unique and without any template assigned:

– you have to setup pretty permalinks to an option other that “default”.

Apparently you made something with your url configuration:
– wordpress doesn’t use www by default.
– all your components (activity, members and groups) are in /blog/ directory. By default, you should have http://your-site/activity.

Not that all this cannot be done, but if you want it like this, you have to setup that correctly. This is no the case at the moment.
Note also that BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

The question is where is WP installed ? At the site root or in a /blog/ directory ?

Open dashboard > General and check what is entered under site path and url and compare with what is in htaccess

I can’t read the codex at your place but if you really did this:

I’ve copied the entire BuddyPress plugin directory into my theme

you started on the wrong side.

BP Plugin directory ? Really ? Or bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ directory ?
Also you already hacked core files. This is not recommended at all anyway, and on a CMS, the form (template) is separated from the content (core)….

BuddyPress Theme Development

Sorry but we can’t bring assistance for premium themes.
that said it may be a JS conflict generated by BP in some exotic JS situation…

@dekoningalex,

please don’t double post. Closing this topic in favor of

Can’t upload profile pictures bp-plupload.min.js?ver=2.6.2:1 Uncaught TypeError:

The ultimate tutorial to add wp_editor to What’s New textarea (on Site, Members and Group Activities pages).

Warning
The What’s New feature was never intended to publish posts or formatted text. It was imagined for brief announcement or instant conversation. That’s why this textarea is texturized and doesn’t allow much HTML tags. It is also ajaxified and need the original BP ID to work.
You will use it at your own risk.

The following trick will let you remove the existing textarea from the template and replace it with a custom wp_editor. And it will be very customized ! For example, you will not have the visual tab, but only his HTML version, similar to the one you see on this forum for example.

Required:
BuddyPress activated
a working child theme
some understanding of HTML and php grammar

This trick was succesfully tested on a single install with WP 4.6, BP 2.6.2 and a Twenty Sixteen child theme.

Start !
Read from here how to remove the textarea in post-form.php

The code to remove is line 40 and looks like this:

<textarea class="bp-suggestions" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"
	<?php if ( bp_is_group() ) : ?>data-suggestions-group-id="<?php echo esc_attr( (int) bp_get_current_group_id() ); ?>" <?php endif; ?>
><?php if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) : ?>@<?php echo esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); ?> <?php endif; ?></textarea>

You replace it by:

<?php
$content = '';
$editor_id = 'whats-new';
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id );
?>

As the visual edit tab doesn’t work, you must deactivate it. In your child-theme functions.php, add this:
add_filter( 'user_can_richedit' , '__return_false', 50 );

And that’s it !

If you want also rich edit for activity comments, which i didn’t recommand for sites who have many comments, you can use the same technique as above, with some more settings. Note that each comment has is own ID and that each comment editor should also have an unique ID.

First, you need to remove the textarea from (child-theme/buddypress/)activity/entry.php
You remove this:
<textarea id="ac-input-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>" class="ac-input bp-suggestions" name="ac_input_<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>"></textarea>
and replace it by

<?php
$id             = bp_get_activity_id();
$content	= '';
$editor_id	= 'ac-input-'. $id;
$settings	= array( 
			'textarea_name'	=> 'ac_input_'. $id,
			'editor_class'	=> 'ac-input bp-suggestions'
		);
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings );
?>

With Twenty Sixteen, i first couldn’t see the Post Update button and the option selector. I got it with this little CSS adjustment (in child-theme/style.css).

div#whats-new-options { display: block!important;}

Function reference: wp_editor.

Hi,

review all site settings and check about the fatal error mentionned on the /register/page:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function groups_get_total_group_count() in .../wp-content/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/includes/bp-registration-groups.php on line 53

I think that your buddypress-registration-groups plugin folder is malformed.
buddypress-registration-groups-1 is most probably written buddypress-registration-groups

Add the snippet to your child-theme functions.php
If it doesn’t work from there, remove it and put it into bp-custom.php

You may also give details about the theme you use and what you did “exactly” on a template.
