BuddyPress.org

Hello, I had this same problem and this is how I fixed it. It was mentioned in this thread
(https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bad-link-to-profile-edit/)
that there may be a problem in the database table “wp_bp_xprofile_groups”. For some reason the first item id there is not “1” but something else. As you change the id to 1, everything works. Then it also shows the Profile details side Name field (required) in the registration page.

Also there was a problem to edit profile, it went to “Page not found”. This gets fixed also now, now you can edit the fields.

This seems to be some kind of bug in the installing process in some circumstances. I tested this by removing the BuddyPress and also deleting the BuddyPress database tables. They must be deleted manually, they wont get out by deleting the plugin.

New installation put the first id number to “3” to “wp_bp_xprofile_groups” table. Even the group_id in the table “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” was “1” (after I activated some components in BuddyPress menu, before that the tables were empty) for the first field item. So now the field item and the group item never matched.

Hopefully this helps someone. It seems that there are a lot of discussion of this problem, and this is a very annoying problem if you are really using BuddyPress.

Basically the registering had a workaround for example by using plugin “Theme my login”. The registering also looks simpler as there is not that “extra” name field. It is however unknown how BuddyPress works without that name field. Well, but perhaps that is an another story.

Since you are talking about forum post count, you should post this over on the bbPress forums:
https://bbpress.org/forums

bbPress adds support for group forums in BuddyPress.

Here are some hints though:

Thanks for the report, however BuddyPress doesn’t touch the lost password email. That is a native WordPress email.

Perhaps you need to configure your SendGrid plugin or SMTP.

I can confirm, using BP 2.5.1, that the “accepted your friendship request” email is not sent.

The ‘friendship requested’ email is sent.

Ticket opened.

I am installing ribosome theme and do the same thing, work fine. Login for see. For you: try to desactive all plugins without buddypress if no work send me the code that you have put in header

You can use BuddyPress Member Stats plugin or just this function (in bp-custom.php)

This example is for group updates only. But you have the general idea. And please, keep calm, if you have a big update writers community, totalizing ALL existing updates can became a mess and a real problem which can slow down a site. You’re warned ! 😉

function bms_get_total_group_updates_count(){
global $wpdb, $bp;
$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id(); 

	if ( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) :

	// DB query 
	$total_updates = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_activity 
			WHERE component = 'groups' 
			AND   type = 'activity_update'
			AND   user_id = '%s' ", $user_id ) );
									  
	echo $total_updates;

	endif;
}

And for the output somewhere in your template, something like:

<li><?php _e( 'My updates:', 'buddymemberstats' ); ?>&nbsp;<?php bms_get_total_group_updates_count(); ?></li>

Yes, i’m the plugin author. 😉

I’m afraid you can’t built another member’s directory. “Members” is a component and it use a dynamic page to output anything related to members.

The only thing who change, is eventually the content template part (member directory vs. profile for example: both activity are on the same pseudo “page”.

The only way i see for your case, is to add a custom filter and to define eventually another default output for member directory, based on the current filter. But it’s the user who has to choose what he want to see there.

Default filter are recently active, recently subscribed and alphabetical order. To add more option, included “artists”, try to add “member type” or create you r own plugin to filter.

Here the related codex page for member-type

And codex page for how to add a filter on members directory.

For the @ use, the correct way to use it is when you want to mention (@mention) somebody. And so far i can see this here, it doesn’t actually work on bp.org ! 😉

So just keep in mind that you publish on a public forum. It is not intended to call mods individually. We’re not consultants here (we don’t charge you), but simple volonteers trying to guide and help other users.

Thanks for providing further info.

Please create a ticket here using the same user & pw you use for these forums.

And include a link to this topic.

I tried disabling BP Email using the below two links instruction on how creating bp-custom.php & disabling code:

bp-custom.php

Emails

However, I am still getting the plain text mail!

Please advise..

By ‘save’, you mean update?

Have you tried editing and updating any other emails?
If so, did the same issue occur?

Have you tried using the Email Repair tool?
wp-admin > Tools > BuddyPress > ‘Reinstall emails (delete and restore from defaults).’
This will delete your current emails including any edits you made to them.

What version of WP are you using?

Did you read this:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/

‘bp-custom.php does not exist by default’
You need to create it.

Nope. I just have Buddypress installed without any email plugins. Just using whatever WordPress uses as a standard! I’d love to get this working as I have an organization that I am proposing we convert to this as our members are very active on FaceBook and why not make our organization’s website interactive with BuddyPress.

Please don’t call out people individually (this was already told to you by @shanebp)

bp-default is no more the default theme for BP. You can use almost any other existing theme.
While testing, i recommend you to use one of the Twenty’s theme shipped with WordPress.

Then to create a child theme and copy into it the needed file from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/buddypress/

As reminder, a page structure contains at least a header, a content and a footer template, and sometimes a sidebar, depending the theme you use.

If you open index.php from wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\index.php you should get the search form in that template.

Though if you asign the Member page as home page in WP’s Read settings, you won’t have to struggle much with customization.

Read Codex attentively by starting from here.

You may also explain what you want to do exactly and tell which theme you use.

@alexandra55 you can achieve this by adding a little snippet to your bp-custom.php or functions.php.

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'themename_redirect_author_archive_to_profile' );
function themename_redirect_author_archive_to_profile() {
  if(is_author()){
    $user_id = get_query_var( 'author' );
    wp_redirect( bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ) );
  }
}

Hope this helps!
