BuddyPress.org

As @shanebp notes, adding the tabs themselves is pretty straightforward. In addition to bp_core_new_nav_item() etc, you might also look into the more all-encompassing BP_Component class. See https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/bp_component/, https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/.

It’s the content of these tabs that is likely to be more complex. If all you want is a series of links, it’s easy. But if you want a way for users to create content, you’ll need to build forms, storage methods, etc. For this, you might want to look into adopting an existing solution. The BuddyForms plugin is a pretty powerful starting place for this kind of thing: https://themekraft.com/buddyforms/

Hi @kevinc4m – The BuddyPress Followers plugin allows users on a multisite installation to follow specific sites: https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers

It sounds like this is not quite what you’re looking for – you want the ability to follow tags/categories, and it doesn’t sound like multisite is part of the equation – but this plugin may serve as a sort of inspiration for how the tag/category feature might work, at least in the UI. I also think that the plugin could probably be a basis for building the feature you’re looking for, as it does much of the work: storing user follow status, integrating items into user activity streams, and so on.

Unfortunately, I’m not aware of an existing tool that will do this without some customization.

Can you share the format of the “view content” links in the digest emails? (I’m assuming you’re using buddypress-group-email-subscription – let me know if that’s correct.) They should have a redirect_to parameter, but it sounds like it’s not being respected or is being lost somehow.

Are you using any plugins that interfere with the way that WP logins work? Perhaps Auth0 or another SSO plugin?

Hi @mycraze – It sounds as something is failing to load the jquery-cookie script. BP attempts to do it in the function bp_core_register_common_scripts(): https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-core/bp-core-cssjs.php?marks=54#L18

The first thing to check is to see whether the page is attempting to load the script in the first place. View the source of the page, and look for a tag that looks something like this, in the document head:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://example.com/plugins/buddypress/src/bp-core/js/vendor/jquery-cookie.js?ver=2.9.2'></script>

If you *do* see this, but are still having the problem, try the following:

* Load the script URL directly in a new tab. Does it load?
* Open the Network tab of your browser’s developer tools. Is the browser unable to access the file for some reason? Perhaps a 404 or some other error?

If you do *not* see the script tag, then it’s a server-side issue. My guess, in this case, is that you are using a third-party theme that loads the bp-legacy JS file without also properly declaring the dependencies. To verify, switch to a default WP theme (like Twenty Sixteen) to see if the problem clears itself up. If this is the problem, you may want to talk to your theme author, or share the relevant code from the theme (probably looks like wp_enqueue_script...) and we may be able to help you correct it. In the meantime, you may be able to work around this problem by manually enqueing the cookie script in your functions.php file. Something like:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'bp-jquery-cookie', buddypress()->plugin_url . 'bp-core/js/vendor/jquery-cookie.min.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
} );

Hi @redcompolitica – I’ve built multi-page registration processes for clients in the past, but unfortunately, it’s not very easy to do – BP’s registration system is not built in such a way as to make it easy.

If your main goal is to make registration less overwhelming, you might consider moving some or most of your registration fields out of the “Base” group. This will mean that they don’t show up during the registration process, and users will have to fill them in by editing their profile after signing in.

If your goal is to have *conditional* registration steps – where, for example, step 2 depends on a specific value provided in step 1 – then I’m afraid it’d have to be custom-built. Much of the work could be done with a custom theme template members/register.php and by modifying the way that registration data is saved and validated https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-members/bp-members-screens.php?marks=113#L72

Good luck with your project!

What version of BuddyPress are you using? It seems to be an issue with the CSS that safari tries to load.

You’ll need to write a custom widget.
There is lots of docs online about writing a WP widget.
You’ll find BP specifics in this file:
buddypress\bp-members\classes\class-bp-core-members-widget.php

I feel the same, they sell BuddyPress and BBpress like super nice tools but actually, it is a waste of time. For me I feel like amateur tool. You always need help to do anything very basic, and the support is not there. Very frustrated!

At the end, with all my regret, i have been forced to move to joomla. I found what i need there. So sad.

BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin is what I use to do this.

It shows up on the profile as age. If you want it on the members page that takes some code editing. I saw a tutorial on BPDev site.

Did you look in the single template files?
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\

Hi. I wonder if you’re getting a little confused as to what Super Socializer and BuddyPress actually do? Although they both allow people to have an account on your site, they’re not really the same thing.

Super Socializer allows you to cross-post your own blog posts onto Facebook, etc, and to then amalgamate any comments back to the original blog post. But the important thing to note is that it’s only really about your blog posts.

BuddyPress (with bbPress) allows you to have people create forum posts and send each other messages, completely independently of any blog posts you may make.

Of course, Super Socializer would also be of benefit to a BuddyPress install as it would allow users to set up and log in to a BuddyPress account using their Facebook login.

I’ve never used Super Socializer, btw.

Hope that helps

Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php

And then remove this code from the overload:

<?php if ( bp_get_member_latest_update() ) : ?>

	<span class="update"> <?php bp_member_latest_update(); ?></span>

<?php endif; ?>
