there has been some discussion of this here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bussdypress-title-and-seo-yoast-problem/#post-253510

and here:

https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/bp-meta-tite-description-for-groups-and-members-pages

and several other places including the suggestions / feedback area amongst others.

I’ve had it fixed a time or two but updates to either bp or themes have broken my fixes.
This is something that google’s webmaster tools screams at you as being bad, and hurts your site the more members you get.

so I added a noindex no follow to the robots.txt file to remove most of the bp pages from being indexed.

Is this a fresh install? If yes check the min requirements in buddypress codex

Find out which S2 function returns member ids based on S2 levels.

Then look at this function bp_has_members. It has include and exclude arguments.

If you have more paying members than non-paying members, then pass the non-paying member ids to the exclude argument.
Otherwise, pass the paying member ids to the include argument.

You can adjust the bp_has_members call in your Members Directory template.

Or you can write a function using this approach:

managing users, groups, comments, handling any abusive users etc.

buddypress has a wonderful admin backend and the above can be handled properly…and there are a bunch of plugins which you can use for backend admin

using buddypress+bbpress for 2 multisite websites and works great

would suggest you do a test drive and see what you get form buddypress

@abooster – I found a similar issue in regards to uploaded pictures and videos some time ago. It really disturbed me that it was trivial to see other people’s uploaded media within buddypress / wp -multisite.

I found at the time role scoper had a method to limit the permissions there and fix this issue on one install for me – it has since transformed into ‘press permit core’

I never bothere3d to report this, as it seemed like I’d report it to bp and it would get the whole ‘it’s not bp, it’s wp – or it’s rtmedia’s plugin problem’ – then I’d probably report it to rtmedia – and it would get a whole – thats the way bp and wp works – and although we were multi site compatible, we are not responsible for how permissions within those setups work..

and so, it’s really a problem for the bp community, but more so for those users who sign up assuming that we have good security practices like big social networks. I am guessing issues like these run afoul of the eu data privacy and protection laws, but I’m not there and don’t know enough about them.

So I just put in my terms that this is all beta software and not to post anything you don’t want exposed – there is not way any of this stuff is secure and everything could inadvertently be exposed one day even without a hack attempt.

sucks but that’s about all i can do as a user, not an expert of php or anything wp / bp / etc.

thanks for mentioning another similar issue that I had never considered – I think I had seen something like this when logged in as super admin, had not considered it may also show for non-super-admins – this sucks.

You’ll probably want to create a new page and then load a custom template.

In your custom template, you’ll need to create an Activity loop with the parameters that you want.

Sounds like this is your first time performing these tasks.
Give it a serious and thorough attempt and see how far you can get.
If you get stuck, use gist or pastebin to share the code in your custom template.

Please do not paste all the code on these forums.

Thanks for your concern.

The responsible way to report a security issue is to:

1. Tell WP about it

2. Open a ticket here – using the same user/pw you use for these forums.

BP xProfile Location creates an xProfile field type.
And it will include any of those field types on the the search form created by BP Profile Search.

I think you want to use Google to auto-populate the textbox(es) created on the search form, based on user input.
That would require custom code added to the BP Profile Search plugin.
You will have to write that code yourself or hire a developer.

@imath

In a woocommere environment where users get registered from there, is there a way to have BuddyPress to sync with WP registration info (i.e. first name, last name, change password)?
Can this e bidirectional too?

Thank you!

Hi @nnyorker,

Try this plugin: BuddyPress profile tabs

Hi, i am new with buddypress and i like to have the posts from the users on the profil page too. But i have the same double entries. This looks bad. Is there any news to fix this?

Hello @nanettedp,

don’t be sorry, we all started a day from 0.
You exposed (very clearly) your problem, that’s great ! The next step is to learn how to do that.

If you ask for aid on a support forum like this one, this implies in principle you already did something (who may not work as expected for ex.) In this case, you should show us what you’ve done, so somebody can help you.

As yo ask for a doc like a how-to, you can search on this forum or google a bit to find one. They’re plenty topics here about this, with more or less explanation and comments.

But you say you’re a newbie. It’s not like i don’t want to help you, but i can’t teach you this. You need some tech level, even a low one and i ignore which one you already have. It’s also time consuming and as mod i have other things to do here as teaching you. Hope you understand. 😉

As you didn’t really understand the function i indicate you, i assume you’re not familiar with php and how to use it. So you’re like i was a few years back: a newbie.

The only thing to do is to learn. You have to experiment, to read documentation, topics and what ever related to code, WP and BP… That’s how we all acquire experience !

Or i’m completely wrong and you meaned by i need a bit more help give me the solution. In other words, make the work for me so i can add it to my site.
If so, you can hire a developper from here.

Your first topic started with Is there a way that I can create a custom URL.

Yes there is a way. It’s you! Now it’s your turn to play: create and just do it!

Hi @eutopia007,

you say nothing about the theme, which could be the culprit. Activate one of the default WordPress Twenty theme and see if the error remain.

In any case, a page named #gf_2 is not part of BuddyPress or WordPress. Check all your pages and their permalinks. If you find one using that, delete it. You should also clear your trash definetly as it could be you have that page in it.

WordPress use page which should be unique and have unique names.

For more information, read here.

There is nothing to debug, it is how it works. BP is usually activated on the main site, and stays on the mainsite, whatever you build around with multisite or multinetwork or both.

Read some explanation about multisite, multinetwork and how BP is displayed and working on such installs:

BP menu on wp multisite

Hi,

I have the same problem. Throughout the website, we make use of unique display_name. I didn’t get the real hook or filter to manage this situation. Please check the link below.

change username to display name

@insearchofasolution no problem mate.

Seems like you know what you are aiming for so its really down to time and research, you do not need to be a master with PHP to pull this off yourself, although knowing the basics helps. If you can understand what you need to change or integrate you can find answers with a little google searching and quite often you can find various different solutions to similar problems others may of come across.

About the plugins I mentioned, you should go to the wp-types website and set up a demo install of toolset for yourself, just search the website and there will be an option for you to have a test environment set up for free hosted on their servers where you can test out all the plugin suite, it will even let you install the dummy content for various complex website setups that have been created with toolset for demonstration purposes, it shows what is possible with these plugins when used together as a package. Its worth taking a look at trust me on this one.

I have only messed with the vendors plugin you have mentioned briefly so I have not tried it out with buddypress but as @sharmavishal has mentioned above you might also want to check out the paid plugin he mentioned to if it has BP compatibility.

So the mainsite BP menu is not complete on subsite!

That’s right, because on a subsite, you’re on a blog.
BP is only active on the mainsite, as it’s where it is activated. On mainsite you see whole members fonctionnalities (friends, groups, messages and son on). On a blog, aka subsite, you’re like a user of a WP site whithout BP.

That’s also the reason why enabling multiblog is deactivated by default and not usefull in most of case. This warning is given on the codex page i indicated you previously.

Deactivate multiblog and revert to initial default configuration.

On the toolbar, in top left corner, you have the usermenu with all BP items. This menu is accessible to logedin user, wherever he is. Mainsite or subsite. And that’s default behave !

For a bit more understanding, in case you want insist to remove that menu to get it on the main nav (beside About, Home etc), please take a look to this topic.

Cheers ! 😉

Disques is intended for WordPress (read plugin description), not BuddyPress, which use his own comment system through essentialy the site activities.

You’re incorrect. See Trac to have an idea of what improvements are part of.
