Hi,
if nothing made sense of what you already read, i doubt i can help you as i would certainly repeat the same things… 😉

Nickname doesn’t exist in WordPress. On a WP install, a new user is only asked for a username(generally it’s a nickname like creatorsite), an email and a password. That’s all!

By convinience, a WP user can add his first and last name to his profile, but it is not an obligation.

When BP is added, he adds a mandatory field called Name which can by filled with first and last name or whatever else. Only the field is mandatory, not the content. And you can change his nale to what you want. Eg. Your dogs name. An other difference for this field is that it let you enter uppercase and space, what the WP username field doesn’t allow. BP use this field to synchronize members from WP and those registered once BP is activated.

Users are handled by WP, not by BP which is only a plugin, btw. both use the same DB user table.

Here a complete description of WP’s database, and read attentively the part related to wp_users.

Nickname = username. Your question is related to username vs. display_name.

Read here for a solution.

ps: your picture mention that nicknames can eliminate a security issue. Which one exactly ? i’m curious to learn how over 200 000 active BP sites are threatened by hackers seaking for usernames in 2016 !

If you’re sepaking about the Group directory page, yes !

# of columns can be defined by CSS. For other details, read here

You need also a child-theme to do customization.

Codex is your friend. 😉

What is your BP version ? Have you tried to use the email repair tool ?

Hi @angrygerman

FYI

will the buddypress be compatible with php7?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/search?q=php7&noquickjump=1&changeset=on&milestone=on&ticket=on&wiki=on

Has there been any update on this, i.e. is BuddyPress fully compatible with PHP 7 at this point?

hi @ljmac,

@passiondigitalpublishing – We’ve confirmed this is a bug and have a fix ready for v2.6.2:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7173

In the meantime, you can manually fix this issue by patching bp-members/bp-members-functions.php:

Hi @omdisa7

See this topic if it can help you:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/notification-is-created-but-cant-list-it-for-the-user/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-global-search/

https://wordpress.org/themes/search/buddypress/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-global-search/

I can’t speak for Paid Memberships Pro because I haven’t used that plugin but it can’t be done with BuddyPress out-of-the-box. You would need to find a plugin.

hi @javierllinas

You can use something like this (add to bp-custom.php or child theme’s functions.php)

BuddyPress usermenu usage: remove_node(‘$id-$nav-$subnav’)

/* remove items from Toolbar Usermenu (top-right) */
function bpex_admin_bar_remove_this(){
global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-forums-favorites');
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-messages-starred');
        // etc...
}
add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render','bpex_admin_bar_remove_this');

Reference

Merci @imath !

The old way

The following syntax to change the tab order is deprecated since 2.6 and will throw an error notice:

function rt_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['profile']['position'] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav['activity']['position'] = 20;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'rt_change_profile_tab_order', 999 );

The new way

Now the correct syntax to use for modifying – since 2.6 – the tabs position on the buddybar when you’re on a profile.

This example list all BP related items who appear by default on a profile nav, in order of appearance and include also the forum tab (if you use bbPress for group forums).
By default, activity tab comes as 1st. The snippet will move it to 4th position.

To modify a position you simply change the numeric value.
If you want to move only one item, you remove or comment (add // at begin of the line) the ones you don’t want to move.

function bpex_primary_nav_tabs_position() {
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 4,	), 'activity' 		);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 5, 	), 'profile' 		); 
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 7, 	), 'notifications'	); 
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 9,	), 'messages' 	  	);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 2,	), 'friends' 	  	);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 6,	), 'groups' 		);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 3, 	), 'forums' 		);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 1, 	), 'settings' 		);
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_primary_nav_tabs_position', 999 );

That’s it for the buddybar nav menu order on profile.

Ola !

in this case, create them manually.
And read from here the complete install guide

Getting Started

– ensure for min. requirements to run BP on your server
– check htaccess
– don’t forget to setup permalinks

You’re right, i never read what i send to users asking for help.

Haven’t you seen “Support” on the plugin page ? Can’t you click ? You definitely not read !
Let’s try this:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-xprofile-wp-user-sync

before closing this unrelated to BuddyPress topic.

@omdisa7,

hopefully you’re comfortable with JS ? If not, don’t try to change the default textarea.
Explanation. Search Google for textarea autosize if you need something else.

You’ll certainly need to use a child-theme, but nothing more to say for how you can use that with BuddyPress.

At the moment, when I click on “Groups” he redirect to /members/(name)/groups

That is the path used for “Groups” button on a profile.

If you use the WP Menu builder, you can add “Groups” to your theme menu. In this case, it will lead to the Groups directory (which is what you want to do).

To see BuddyPress options for menus, you have to activate “buddypress” in the screen options first.
