BuddyPress.org

Thanks @mercine! I’ll give that a go after the weekend. I do have one question: is BuddyPress only compatible with certain themes? That’s another thing I was going to look into. I’m still learning,so I appreciate the help!

Okay, seems like I really have to learn more about PHP. Via google I found https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/60272/find-out-if-logged-in-user-is-not-subscriber. That gave me a rough idea, but I did not manage to change the code for a redirect.

However, I found a workaround. I placed the following code…

<?php if ( current_user_can('member') ) : ?>

and

<?php endif; ?>

in these files:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php (lines 27 and 144)
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/home.php (13 and 122)

There´s no redirection now, but the content is not visible anymore for the role “subscriber”, but visible for “member”.

Here is a solution to exclude users, that are not logged in: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-profile-from-non-logged-in-users/#post-147745.

But how to exclude/redirect users, that have the user role “subscriber”? Redirect might be working with

<?php wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; ?

This might work to hide it for logged out users (put in bp-custom.php):

function hide_bubble_logged_out () {
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
		?><style type="text/css">.bubble { display: none; }</style><?php
	}		
}	
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'hide_bubble_logged_out' );

I forgot to note that I cannot log into the admin. So the only fix, is to remove buddypress completely at this point…thanks!

I found a way to edit the theme. It wasn’t the most elegant, but it worked very well for spacing. I added <br> <br> at the very bottom of the header.php file. It put some white space in there so the BuddyPress search buttons were not partially hidden under the bottom of the header menu.

Would disabling the BuddyPress registration process and falling back on WordPress one’s by creating a custom registration form help avoid the need to sync BuddyPress to WordPress profile? – as I interpreted from here – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15379839/registration-form-in-buddypress. Thanks.

I found this code to solve the problem pasting it into funtions.php of my current theme, but it does not work. With the theme Twenty Thirteen not the comment list appears, so it is clear that the issue is a problem I am using.

add_filter(‘tc_show_comments’, ‘disable_comments_buddypress_pages’);
function disable_comments_buddypress_pages( $bool ){
if ( is_page() && is_buddypress() )
return false;
return $bool;
}

Can I please get some love? I’ve read a few other threads about this, https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-table-prefix-change-old-topics-dont-display-new-topics-go-to-db-table-with-old-prefix/ suggested that I needed to alter bb-config.php, but I understand from https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bb-config-php-file-is-missing/ that bb-config.php is no longer used. The later lead me to https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/, which covers importing forums but doesn’t seem to get me what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
