BuddyPress.org

I would like them to be able to Register as well as Log in using their Facebook account

use plugin wordpress social login..works like a charm

I want users to register for blogging

you want your users to blog from the bp frontend? if yes you need to use the following paid plugin

BuddyPress User Blog

Earl – If you want to use W3 Total Cache’s page cache, but want to whitelist the registration and activation pages, you should be able to do that within W3TC.

This is an old guide that I found on Google to show you how to whitelist pages in W3TC:
https://www.itsupportguides.com/wordpress/w3-total-cache-how-to-exclude-posts-and-pages/

For your needs, whitelist the /register/ and /activate/ page slugs or whatever you have those slugs set to in BuddyPress.

@danbp @djpaul
Sorry just trying to understand… I am taking your time…
Also, how can this extension’s add embed youtube (vimeo or soundclound) video to post (also custom post types) can display videos on buddypress activity?
http://tekanewascripts.com/vcextensions

As i already said: it’s not possible actually.

Perhaps in BP 2.6 (release: June 22, 2016)… See #6177 for more details.

Maybe @djpaul can tell you more about this.

Dear @danbp

Maybe i should explain more detail. And what i want to do…I really must solve this future of my project 🙂 Sorry long sentences really sorry

BP update via what’s new form and add embed is working. No problem.
Our members can create new post (food) with toolset types on frontend. They can add image or video or custom fields. when anyone visit abc.com/foodarchive and click food 1 and open new window and Ok can see everything. At the moment, this published new post displaying on buddypress activity (also can added filter with bp-custom.php)… Buddypress activity display all kind food post body such as if there is only text show text, if there are text+image, ok BP activity show this also… At the moment, if only text and no image but author add featured image, well BP also show text+this featured image on activity stream… But never show video on activity stream if its in post body…

I dont undestand (because i am copypaste coode user) how can BP update via add form can show embed video but not display video from custom post embed? No way to solve this?

Why? Because my member want to see video on activity stream before visit this post. BP just show MRx Published new Food..

If i use Visual composer (extension add on pluging) features add youtube video to post, yes this is showing embed video on buddypress activity.But this is problem because when anyone click bp show filter and turn back another filter (comment to post, or post to updates or group updates), visual composer short codes broken and display like this [vc]textblock[vc]. If refresh page, yes eveything normal, so my theme remove shortcodes from visual composer.

Thanks for giving your time…

@kalico – You should post your question on the CBOX forums:

About the Project

If the problem is with Docs, do post a bug report here:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-docs

You could also try upgrading to the latest version of BuddyPress Docs to see if that fixes your problem.

If i add URL to update side, its ok buddypress display on activity, but if this video on wp-post, dont display 🙂

Dear @danbp

My english is not good so i hope you are talking about my problem that buddypress display default wordpress post on activity stream with image or image + text… But when i add (attach isnert with url) embed video to post on backend admin side, buddypress do not display this video. Just display “Mrx wrote a new post, ABC (Post Title)”. if i click post title open in new window and i can see the embed video there…

Why my buddypress activity do not display embeded video post on activiy…Only text or image can be display…. All my WP and BP version latest, also test it default wordpress themes.

Very import for me… I am searching this topic last 7 days and askink forum but no reply…

Thanks…

– Have you followed all recommandations before starting your install ?

– Have you setup all components page ?

– Have you enabled permalinks ?

Getting Started

@sharmavishal,

hi captain Haddock, i’m not in charge of a plugin list. 🙂 And latest information about this missing page can be found here.

Actually, the only place to get a list of BP plugins is the WP repository.

If you don’t want to miss specifically imath’s plugins, you can subscibe to his twitter account(@imath), or for any other plugin author, a solution could be to subscribe to WP plugins feed.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/rss

Seems not to be a BuddyPress question. BuddyPress doesn’t use categories. Permalink is a WordPress setting.

Avada is a premium theme framework. We have no acces to his code and can’t help you here. Check Avada support.

bbPress is a separate plugin. Check bbP support.

What could i do ?

– read the documentation
– review all your settings
– ask for help on the appropriate support forum.

Check these plugins, different purpose :

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-reactions/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-rating/

https://spoonjab.com/bp-wp-profile-reviews/ (premium, untested)

As both sites are WordPress, you can, for example, share the wp_users table between separate WordPress installations, but all the BuddyPress profile data is stored in custom BuddyPress tables. The non-BuddyPress site will have no idea where or how to get the profile data from the BuddyPress-powered site.

You could, for example, copy the database tables across each night to keep the non-BuddyPress site updated, but you’ll still end up running BuddyPress on the main site in order to have access to APIs to query/fetch/display that data. Again, you could write custom SQL to achieve this, but you’re digging yourself into a large hole.

I agree with the previous advice given 🙂

BuddyPress doesn’t support conditional profile fields (yet?). This is asked frequently but I can’t remember if anyone’s built a plugin that handles this. You might have to hack something together bespoke for your theme.

Regarding the second point, I’d recommend creating a custom field type, if you know PHP. It’s not too hard to do — I worked on this code a year or two ago, and it’s pretty easy to do now. You could look at https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/ for examples of how to add and register custom field types — specifically https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/trunk/classes/Bxcft_Field_Type_SelectCustomPostType.php I think is a good example to work from as it displays custom post types in a list (you’d just query your custom table and pull in the values, wrap it in some caching, etc).

You’re correct. The relevant function is messages_new_message(): https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-messages/bp-messages-functions.php#L130

You can set the BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE constant to get BuddyPress to accept user_login values on the message compose screen rather than the user_nicename. See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ for how to set it, basically you add it to wp-config.php.

BUT setting this will also change the member URLs. For example: example.com/members/user-nicename/ will become example.com/members/user-login/. If you choose to change this, at the very least, you will have to set up redirects manually so as to not harm SEO.

I think probably changing your modification to use the user_nicename will be best.

I can’t speak for all the BuddyPress development team but, personally, I would not recommend W3TC. There is a specific bug with its Object Caching implementation that breaks password resets on BuddyPress for some obscure reason we weren’t able to track down.

You need an Object Cache plugin, which will be backed by a Memcached or Redis instance, or something. If you’re using a great WordPress host rather than any old common host, like WP Engine or Pantheon or Siteground, they already have this infrastructure in place.

You could have a full-page cache, but be sure to only configure it to cache requests for logged-out users. You can imagine that if the majority of your traffic is from logged in, then having a cache for logged-out views isn’t going to have much impact.

Hi,

have you tested this plugin ?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

ADMIN NOTIFICATION Group admins can send out an email to all group members from the group’s admin section. The email will be sent to all group members regardless of subscription status. This feature is helpful to quickly communicate to the whole group, but it should be used with caution.

do i need to update the codes in my theme manually, everytime you roll an update for the plugin?

that depends if its a major update which affects the page you modified.

when i create a folder named “Buddypress” in my theme, it will override the original. correct?

correct

@5high Yep! You’re right. The form is now build separately. To hide it conditionnaly, it’s much easier as previously.

What you have to do from now on, is to add a condition on the template part call.

The form template file is post-form.php (activity/post-form.php)

On each activity template (swa, members, groups,…), there a call to this file. bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

To solve your problem, you have just to add the condition you want for this call.

In your case, as you want to disallow the form only on swa and on member’s activity, you modify
child-theme/buddypress/activity/index.php (site wide activity) and child-theme/buddypress/members/single/activity.php (profile activity)

For example i hide the form to any user except site admin by using:

if ( is_user_logged_in() && is_super_admin() )
	bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

Hope to be clear ! 😉
