BuddyPress.org

I’m running WordPress 4.8 on IIS (version 10.0.15063.0), with theme twenty seventeen (version 1.3).

I am quite new to BuddyPress (and very excited to get into it). I installed BuddyPress (version 2.8.2). A “Members”-page was created, but when viewing this page, it’s just an empty twenty-seventeen-page (it has the header, title, footer, but no members). I made sure permalinks were pretty.

I tried the exact same steps on a live domain, and I had no problems: my username was mentioned as a member.

Is this an IIS thing? I couldn’t find any mention that BuddyPress doesn’t work on IIS. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated! I’ve been stuck for hours.

Hey I want to set my own language, so I read that you needed to edit the file in the buddypress folder in languages, but that folder isn’t there. It also says I need to create it. How do I do this? I need 2 files. An .mo and a .po if I’m correct.

Im using WordPress 4.8
And BuddyPress 2.8.2

I am using buddypress and bbpress, one of my client reported an issue. When he edited any topic title and permalink, on activity page it does not reflects, After looking into same I found that the activity action data with topic title and link is stored in activity table and getting fetched directly.

This is causing lots of 404 links issue, I think activity table should store only reference of the topic title and link, same for the forum name and link also.

Kindly help me to find a quick solution for the same.

So ever since buddypress was installed users can only register accounts with lowercase usernames and just alphanumeric but I want to add the ability for users to sign up with capital letters in their usernames as well as an underscore if needed.

I have already tried the “Network Username Overrides” plugin which doesn’t seem to change anything else I still get the error message no matter what settings I use for that plugin.

Any ideas how to fix this preferably without modifying the core?

I’m having trouble overriding Buddypress template files following the directions and documentation listed here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

For example, I have modified member-header.php.

Here is my website’s file structure: child-theme > buddypress > members > single > member-header.php
And this is Buddypress’ file structure: bp-templates > bp-legacy > buddypress > members > single > member-header.php

Now, I’m wondering if my parent theme (VideoPro) might have something to do with this not working.
Must my child theme be a direct child of Buddypress for this to work?

I have an NDA contract for who I am working with on this, so I can’t provide a link for the website. I can, however, provide screenshots to some degree.

Both my WordPress installation and BuddyPress installation are up to date and using the latest versions (as of the date of this post)

Got this error months ago and have never been able to fix it. Can anyone help me with a random act of kindness on how to fix this? =)

Warning: Illegal string offset ‘slug’ in /home/everkind/public_html/wp-content/themes/buddyapp/lib/plugins/buddypress/navigation-icons.php on line 102

I don’t have super advanced PHP skills so I made this as a start to show off only 3 profile fields (will be svg icons later) ..when their set of course.

<?php
	$twitter = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Twitter', bp_get_member_user_id() );
	$instagram = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Instagram', bp_get_member_user_id() );
	$website = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Website', bp_get_member_user_id() );

	if ( isset( $twitter, $instagram, $website ) ) {

		echo '<div class="test">';

			if ( isset( $twitter ) ) {
				echo '<span>'. $twitter .'</span><br>';
			}
			if ( isset( $instagram ) ) {
				echo '<span>'. $instagram .'</span><br>';
			}
			if ( isset( $website ) ) {
				echo '<span>'. $website .'</span><br>';
			}

		echo '</div>';
	}
?>

I have this feeling, this can be made better or nicer within some sort of loop instead of all those IF statements.

Usually I use Advanced Custom Fields Pro for those kinda of things because of their detailed Documentation and examples but I thought it would be overkill to use ACF only for 3 simple fields while BuddyPress has this inside the core.

Thanks.

Hi,

Don’t know if this codex page is still up to date but I’m trying to exclude a bunch of activity stream items from my site.

Posting Activity from Plugins

So I made this.

function dont_save_various_activities( $activity_object ) {

	$exclude = array( 'activity_update', 'new_avatar', 'new_member', 'friendship_accepted', 'friendship_created', 'created_group', 'joined_group', 'new_blog' );

	if ( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
		$activity_object->type = false;

}
add_action( 'bp_activity_before_save', 'dont_save_various_activities', 1, 1 );

This excludes almost everything from the activity stream but for some reason you can’t target the ‘… profile was updated …’ activity item. That one keeps showing up when some user edits their profile.

I only want to record, new: blog posts, comments, topics and replies.
