BuddyPress.org

Why in the world is it this difficult? This should be in buddypress core. Considering that buddypress is supposed to be a social network out of the box, and member profiles are such an integral part of any social network, very little thought has gone into the profiles page.

Compare adding fields in buddypress to any other social network platform (elgg, oxwall, jcow, dolphin, etc.) and it’s just not there. Why should I have to dig into code just to add a profile field. There should be a drag and drop profile builder.

Avatar location, cover photo, customizable sections and profile fields; they should all be drag and drop.

I wish I was a coder. This is #1 on my priority list of buddypress improvements.

I’d love to know more about this as well. I’ve been trying to find anything on modifying and customizing the profile page, but there is a serious lack of info on this subject. It’s like everyone using buddypress is perfectly willing to accept a crappy and mediocre profile page.

The most frustrating part for me is the simple inability to add custom fields from the backend to the profile page. Why in the hell is this so difficult?

Anyway, sorry for the mini rant, but at least I know I’m not alone in my quest.

I’m encountering an identical problem. Identified BuddyPress plugin as the cause of the 500 error (admin page)/ white screen (front page) via the error log; deleted. Reinstalled and encountered the same issue.

You could deactivate BuddyPress and leave the tables in the database without any problems. If you do choose to remove the tables, take a look at the BuddyPress Database Diagram which might be helpful.

Hi @mrjarbenne could you help me with my setup? I have both buddypress and bbpress enabled for the network. I have bbpress setup on my main site and bbpress setup on my subdomain. Should the members have capabilities site-wide? I would think so. Yet when I try to access the forums page I am redirected to the buddypress registration page.

I don’t have any experience with multisites and most of what I read just confuses me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Same file you used for your code.

You can also use bp_parse_args. It’s probably more appropriate given that you want to affect various templates.

That’s the problem with the theme template files (if it redefines BuddyPress templates) or css/js. To make sure that this is with you theme – try to activate via customizer any other theme (like 2015 or 2016), Post button should be on its place.

You can also investigate the source code of your page to make sure that it has a button #aw-whats-new-submit.

I think you have problems with js, check console of your browser. Something in buddypress.js might be the reason.

It’s possible, but there is no ready-to-use out-of-the-box plugins for that.

I checked the code – it won’t decrease number of queries. All the data for labels are taken from a global variable, which is set when all fields are populated. So you won’t decrease server load by removing labels.

So you can do that via CSS. There is no other simple solution for that (I’m assuming you are on a BuddyPress 2.4.x). Editing template file won’t help you because of the way the code is structured.

Post this to bp-custom.php or functions.php of your theme.

function redblacked_more_groups_per_page($args) {
    $args['per_page'] = 40;

    return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_groups_parse_args', 'redblacked_more_groups_per_page' );

Just go to StudioPress forum and ask there, as it’s clear from your post that it’s not a BuddyPress issue (as everything is ok in 2016 theme).

Seems, nothing to do here with BuddyPress. It’s better to post this question somewhere else, on basic development forums. You will need basic css/html and perhaps js skills. Or try to hire a developer.

Hi @klame,

I am a newbie at all this too. I discovered that the function you pulled off Buddypress.org doesn’t have to be modified to work. You have to simply copy and paste it in your functions.php file as/is without changing a thing. What matters and needs to be modified is the php to render the members loop on your page (e.g., <?php if ( bp_has_members( my_custom_ids( 'location', 'san francisco' ) ) ) : ?>). Adding href tags around it I don’t believe is the right idea. That code goes in your members loop where you want the members to be displayed matching that criteria. In my example I am showing only users in San Francisco. I’m pretty sure you can display the members loop anywhere you want but I haven’t tried that yet. I decided to create a page template and I simply copied the code out of my theme’s buddypress members-loop.php file and pasted it into the template file. You could probably even use the default WordPress members-loop.php file as your base, though if you have a theme you’re better off getting it out of there. I hope this helps. Good luck!

I have similar problem. and also I can’t find anywhere here CREATE NEW TOPIC / POST link I am using this one.

When I installed buddypress our site registration option was disabled. So I enabled it now, and then used REPAIR option –> The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair <– But the problem is that REPAIR does nothing. How to fix that problem and create these registration and acitvate pages?

Also I noticed from installation manual something weird –> Make sure you have pretty permalinks enabled on your WordPress install. <– WTF is that? There in wordpress does not exist option like pretty permalinks. You have plain, numeric, Post name, and other options, but not “pretty permalinks”. Anyway I am using date/postname version at the moment, it should be pretty enough, but still where is that “pretty permalinks” option and where I should find it?

Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php

And add your text.
