BuddyPress.org

Almost in bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css

Aside, if you use a tool like Firebug, you may be able to work easier with html, css or js.

Profiles are handled on the mandatory BP members page.
And yes you’re supposed to go to your-site/members/USERNAME/profile/ via the usermenu which is in the top-right corner of the toolbar (like on this forum) or from any profile, via the buddynav.

Glad you got it !

FYI, see eventl. here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/add-dynamic-menu-link/#post-242555

Try this:

function mohammad_remove_private_message_button( $button ) {
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();

    if ( $user_id == '37' ) // the user ID
	$button = '';

     return $button;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', 'mohammad_remove_private_message_button', 1 , 1 );

[Resolved] how hide tab only for user? not remove/disable

Hi,
this can be done via a child-theme or with a function to add to bp-custom.php or child’s functions.php
See examples here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/navigation-api/

Perhaps that filter hook is for filtering embeds in WordPress content? BuddyPress must have a filter for this. I’ll need to have a dig around…

Why not making your member directory alphabetical by default ?
Add this to members-loop placed in /child-theme/buddypress/members/members-loop.php:22

<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . 'type=alphabetical' ) ) : ?>

Members Loop

Note:
– member must be approved (by validation mail or admin action) to appear in the list.
– default behave is that a new member only appear on directory after his first login.

Hi @bazingauser,

try this solution and give feed back

Try enabling a BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

What version of WordPress, BuddyPress, are you using?

What theme, and what other plugins do you have active?

Ah, what’s the profile field type for that? Is it a date field type or a “Birthday” field type?

Are you using the https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/ plugin ?

@schweizersolutions With your current solution:

1) If BuddyPress is loaded in this context, I’d strongly recommend you use bp_update_option instead of update_option as this supports all the different configurations of BuddyPress install/configuration.

2) If you look at bp_version_updater or bp_core_admin_components_settings_handler for example, it does what you’re doing, but it runs the installation routines afterwards. I’d recommend you copy the logic from bp_core_admin_components_settings_handler.

3) An alternate approach is to filter the bp_new_install_default_components array as long as you can put that in place before BuddyPress loads.

4) I think activated_plugin might be too early, i.e. before BuddyPress installs. I am not sure, I can’t test right now. BuddyPress’ core routines start from plugins_loaded, and I think that’ll have already be triggered before activated_plugin, so the behaviour will be undefined (i.e. it might install on the next page load, or part-install immediately, and I have no idea if this will break stuff).

Hope this helps

BuddyPress will try to sync the value of a user’s “Name” field to the First and Last Name fields in their wp-admin user profile.

To disable this, go to wp-admin Settings > BuddyPress, and disable Profile Syncing.

The Object Cache feature inside W3TC is not compatible with BuddyPress. It does not work properly.

BuddyPress is solid, shared hosting is cheap but there are many alternatives. Do some research with different hosts and see what they can offer you.

@mohammad-sy,

you can filter the activity stream. Read here:

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

You’ll also find many snippets on the forum by searching for “_parse_args”.

Updates are an activity type ! This is already available in the activity filter.

@mugwumpman,
first and last_name fields don’t belong to BuddyPress, but to WP profiles.

BP use only a field called Name at first install. User can enter their first AND last name in that field. Is this what you’re talking about ?

After reading your topic on wp.org, it seems that you use those fields to enter datas which are not first and last names, but more for company and company activity or such.

As you use BP, i would suggest you use the power of xprofile and offer to your user a much better experience by adding a field for a company and another for company activity (or something like that). So you can forget WP’s profile fields and use BP’s xprofile fields.

WP’s profile field used when BP is activated are: username, email and password.
And BP adds his mandatory Name field, which can be first, lastname, username or whatever other unique name belonging to a subscriber (which can be a human, a pet, a company….).

And yo can as many fields you want to the registery or for later on profiles.

The other problem related to font case is a mistery so far. Can be related to many things such as plugins or theme or custom function. This can be determined by debuging and using one of WP’s default theme and all plugins deactivated.

No matter to know if you fill a wp or a bp field for this. Both use a textarea, so it’s probably more a css thing somewhere.

See in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single

and read here for some general guidance. Note: even if only Twenty theme are described as example, you can use (more or less) the same technique for any other theme.

What ever, all starts by creating a child-theme as very first step.

Related to your question, do drop down list of the sub nav and hide them in the object nav fields, i think you don’t need to alter a template, but to write a custom function.

As i can be wrong about you goal, perhaps take also a look to core file bp-core/bp-core-buddybar.php to understand how nav and subnav are instanciated.
