I have looked at all options provided on this site as well as every other site in an attempt to add a favorite button to the post pages. I can not find this information anywhere. The codes that are provided are faulty. They allow a button to be added to the page but when clicking to favorite one post, all post are favorited and nothing shows in the activity stream. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? In my opinion, this feature should be standard. Popular Post should be allowed to be shared!
I don’t know what you mean by making the full WordPress backend come under BuddyPress, but with BuddyPress your front-end can be expanded to do a host of features that the back-end is typically used for. Even for adding posts?
Of course the admin panel is meant for the administrator to manage their site not everyone should be accessing it.
While I can see what you mean this is something that’s more tied to good website design. Most themes with a BuddyPress focus tend to include an icon in the navigation when they are logged in when you are logged out why would you be looking at your profile?
Here is what my new work in progress looks like in the main navigation with an icon of the user when they are logged in.

BuddyPress updates can’t make content just disappear. It looks like the “reviews” are being stored as comments so if comments which could have been deleted in a number of ways but there just isn’t enough info I haven’t been able to replicate this behavior on any of the sites I manage.
Hi Anyone know how to make separate buddypress installation with multi network sub site.
Greetings. I recently updated to 2.9.3, my first such since installing 2.9.2 a couple of months ago. I’m using the current version of WordPress as well as GeoDirectory which has a BuddyPress Integration plugin, v. 1.2.1, to enable the two to work seamlessly (FYI, I’ve brought this to their attention, too.) I’m using GeoDirectory’s Supreme Directory for theme.
The update occurred only three days ago and it was just last night I noticed the three reviews I had for restaurants disappeared. There hasn’t, to my recollection, been any other updates since other than for one unrelated plugin that I don’t even have activated.
I do have a backup from a few weeks ago, but ended up rewriting the reviews in a matter of minutes since I’m the one who submitted them in the first place. Since this is the first update I’ve done with BuddyPress, it seems as though something erroneously deleted the reviews in the process. I haven’t a clue what else may have caused it otherwise.
My website is https://www.wassupinlasvegas.com
Thanks,

One thing you could oppose to the default BuddyPress design is the way members profile, and your own profile looks exactly the same. If you do not use BuddyPress login in a sidebar, you can’t distinguish the logged in member, or a members profile visited.
A clear indication of who is who would be preferable, like if the logged in users profile was always on top of the page in a miniature edition without cover image.

The BuddyPress Members Only was exactly what I’m looking for and yes I’ve meant the site member. Many thanks!
Your question is not clear. Are page members – site members?
The option public – did you mean private? obviously setting a group to public makes it publicly available, so not what you are looking for.
I’ve been experimenting with the site privacy plugins and if you want a completely private network you should check out BuddyPress Members Only, this ensures all url’s except for the homepage are not accessible to not logged in members.
Hi @bdwright
Congratulations! for your website. When it comes to reporting a post there is a nifty plugin called WP Report Post. I think It should solve your problem of post reporting. When it comes to moving back end to front end it is quite complex. But a premium plugin from Buddyboss Buddypress user blog is what you want. Kindly check the demo before purchasing
Hello everyone, I’m new to buddypress so forgive me if it’s a silly query.
I want to add a textbox at the end of my checkbox list. So if my last checkbox option is ‘others’ a textbox needs to be displayed. Whatever the user writes in this should be added to the checkbox array. In the profile, when the field is mentioned instead of the option ‘others’, whatever the user types in the checkbox needs to be displayed.
I tried implementing https://gist.github.com/boonebgorges/73f79d6a7d551ebcedad/
The textbox value however doesn’t get saved. It gives me this error ‘There was a problem updating some of your profile information. Please try again.’
I have put the code mentioned in the git in my bp-profile.php Is there something I’m missing?
I am running the latest Buddypress modules and WordPress.
I am using Buddypress Members Reviews and want to extend it’s Top Members Widget. For this, I want to add in member_type, restrict the recommendations to a certain geographical radius, and bring in some of the user’s profile information.
Has anyone done something similar to this or explored what this would take code wise? I assume it is not good practice to code within the plugin, is this correct? Is there an easy way to encapsulate all this functionality within one module?
Thanks,
Kevin
I am using the 2017 theme and have the following plugins installed: Akismet, AMP, Buddypress, Jetpack, and Vaultpress.
It is strange though that when you choose the Buddypress theme it is installed including the rtMedia plugins. So it seems to be part of the working solution, but when problems you are redirected to the plugin company.
Hi @ hdcms
I did not see the picture before suggesting the code and misunderstood. You can use the actions like bp_before_profile_edit_content and bp_before_profile_avatar_upload_content in place of bp_before _member_header. The better way to edit the appearance of a website is by the adding the buddypress template files in your theme. Here is a beautiful article on this.
Thanks, I’ll post it also on the BuddyPress Grpoups Forum, this could also be marked as solved.
Thanks for the information, I posted the question in the BuddyPress forum, so it can be marked as solved.
Hello friends,
I have a pretty big problem. It turns out that I have BuddyPress installed on my website a news magazine. The problem is that when someone registers as a new user if their email is hotmail the confirmation message does not arrive, but it does not even reach the spam tray, it does not arrive. I’ve tried with Gmail and it’s going well.
For this reason I requested help to support from my hosting provider. They told me that the problem was in one of the mail headers that BuddyPress sends to activate the account and it is this:
List-Unsubscribe: <>
The mail includes this header that is correct, what is not good is that within <> there is nothing, there should be an email or a link to unsubscribe. As they tell me in support it is very likely that this incomplete header is causing Hotmail to completely discard this email.
Can you help me solve this problem? There are many users who use Hotmail, so the problem is quite serious.
Thank you very much and best regards
Hi, am currently developing a buddypress website and would like to customise the activity stream layout, where the activity stream will be displayed in the middle of the page and the profile summary will be displayed on the left and wallfeed for example latest activity on the right side. Please kindly advise how to go about this? Or is there any plugins for this? Thanks.
Hi @ngoegan
Above code is working fine on my install. I am not facing a redirection issue on forum page. If you closely watch the code there is an if statement which checks if we are on register page.
You can do a few things
1. Clear your cache if using a caching plugin.
2. Clear your browser cookies and check
3. Go to settings > permalink and re save
4. Change to default theme and deactivate all plugins except bbpress and buddypress and place the code in theme’s functions.php file and check
Happy Debugging 🙂
rtMedia is a plugin of its own and not a part of a standard WordPres install. Check out their support forum here:
rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
Hi Martijn-
I imagine that the reason that no one answered is that none of the volunteers that offer help here knows anything about your specific issue.
You can change the activity directory link like you were guessing, using the bp_get_activity_directory_permalink filter:
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_directory_permalink', function ( $url ) {
$language = Weglot::Instance()->getCurrentLang();
if ( $language != 'en') {
$url = $url . '/' . $language;
}
return $url;
});
Note that BuddyPress uses the url (and the positions of elements in it, like /members/username/action/subaction) to calculate a number of things, so we can’t say whether the weglot approach will work well with BP.
Best of luck.
The users get this message when they have yet to activate their account, it’s a basic feature of BuddyPress – each new user gets sent an activation email.
If you got to your wp-content/plugins/buddypress directory you will find the US translation of BuddyPress – buddypress-en_US,po, make a local copy of this and load it into PoEdit, you can then create your own translation, changing the words how you link, just search for the phrase you want to change.
