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.

Are you talking about BP Group Documents or BuddyPress Docs? These plugins have their own support.

Hi Ulrich-

It sounds like you’re talking about BuddyPress Docs, not BP. If so, there’s a filter, and you could use it something like this:

add_filter( 'bp_after_bp_docs_has_docs_parse_args', function ( $args ) {
    $args['posts_per_page'] = 100;
    return $args;
} );

There’s a plugin for that – BuddyPress Activity Shortcode. Another way is to use a page builder to place your activity widget into the page.

Hello there. BuddyPress doesn’t use a shortcode–a register page just need to exist and be identified. Could you be using some other plugin?

Otherwise, double-check that the register page is properly associated at wp-admin > settings > buddypress.

Hello, if emails are being sent (you’re receiving them at a Yahoo address), then my first guess would be that gmail is treating the mails as spam. Look in your spam folder to see if they’re there.

There are a number of ways to improve deliverability, but that’s beyond the scope of BuddyPress. You might read up on the topic at SparkPost or one of the other bulk email providers.

To change items, see the link I referenced: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/navigation-api/#change-item-names-of-users-and-groups-nav-menus

BuddyPress adds the friends button via the action:

add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_add_friend_button', 5 );

You’re saying “follow” so I’m assuming that you’re using a plugin that modifies the basic BP behavior. You might check to see that that plugin doesn’t unhook the bp_add_friend_button() from the member header. Otherwise, the friendship button appears in the member header in BP’s default themes.

You can also try the BuddyPress email reinstallation tool if you’re having problems. It’s in WP Admin at Tools > BuddyPress, like /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bp-tools.

Hi @destac-

Please open a ticket on trac: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

which is a better place to suggest improvements to BuddyPress.

Thanks!

I’m note sure how your custom roles were created, so I can’t tell you how to figure out if the current user is one or the other, but basically, you’ll be using code like this:

function bpcodex_remove_member_tab_on_role() {
  $role = 'owner;
  if ( 'owner' == $role ) {
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'messages' );
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
  }
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_remove_member_tab_on_role' );

note that this will not work as is–you need to be able to get the current user’s role, dependent on how you’re doing that. However, the simpler answer is that if you’re not using the friends and messages components, just turn them off in the BuddyPress settings in wp-admin.

Hi @katmacau-

Here are some examples for changing navigation menus using the new API:

Navigation API

This is what I’m guessing you’ll want to use:

function bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab() {
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications' );
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab' );

One question though: if you’re not using the notifications, why not just turn off the notifications component in the BuddyPress settings screen in wp-admin?

Hi there. If I’m understanding correctly, you’re wanting to modify URLs added to profile fields by your users. The profile fields are analyzed for search links and other links here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php#L326

BP uses the WP function make_clickable() to make links clickable. It doesn’t look like that function is filterable at the moment (there’s a ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32787). I guess you could do something using the filter offered on the forum link you reference, but I’m not sure how you’d know which kind of links to modify (it’s not clear from your question what the goal is).

Hi @ottiya
If you want to play with the HTML of the Buddypress members, you will have to look at the Buddypress directory located in your child theme. As I can see from your source code, you are using child theme of weta (weta-child).

1. Login to your web server (web host) and browse the files
2. Go to your website directory and navigate to wp-content > themes > weta-child
3. If you find a directory named buddypress. You can go inside and start editing the templates. As @djpaul suggested the article, you can start editing the files accordingly.

Your questions are related to editing the member profile cover section. You can go to directory buddypress > members > single > cover-image-header.php of your child theme and edit.
Thanks
