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.

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 ! 😉

Thanks so much for posting this info! I’d just found that my previous work-around wasn’t working anymore, but your code above works a treat.
For anyone else looking to do this, just add it into your bp-custom.php file in the plugins folder (NOT the buddypress folder, but in the root of the plugins folder).
Much appreciated 😉

Please read here and give at least some details about the theme you use.

Or better, a valid url to your site. Alternate row color is a theme related question, which can be handled via CSS, but if you don’t tell what theme you use, it’s impossible to guide you more.

Note also that if you use a premium theme, we have no access to it. In this case, you need to ask on the theme support.

you need to have a wordpress multisite done….and install buddypress on a folder/domain…check codex’s of both..you will get an idea how you can run wp on main domain and bp on sub domain or sub folder

trust me..you are not able to manage in the current scenario which you have…

this is a free support forum..you dont need to talk to me on a one2one basis…custom help is not an option here…you might have a look at the job board if you are looking at custom help

best of luck

no plugin for that…as @danbp suggested better to have one db of users..else its going to get quite complicated…

before you installed buddypress was your site a wordpress site?

also i see you installed bp in a sub folder..not in the root…http://mujalumni.in/portal/ is that correct?

is the root site a wordpress enabled site?

are you looking at having a main site and the community (powered by buddypress) on a seperate folder/subdomain?

Guess there is no “reply to all” fonctionnality in BuddyPress.
