BuddyPress.org

Because of no .htaccess file (and no WordPress permalinks) BuddyPress will not be working properly. It requires permalinks enabled. On BuddyPress activation you should see this text:
You must update your permalink structure to something other than the default for it to work.

Install (BuddyPress) Log in widget in sidebar. It will have both login form and logout link.

I was having this same problem and after a long mostly fruitless search I finally found a solid/working answer. The way buddypress currently handles these tabs is quite unwieldy so removing each tab requires a different method…

How to remove group settings tab:

function bp_remove_group_step_settings($array) {
	
	$array = array(
		'group-details'  => array(
			'name'       => _x( 'Details', 'Group screen nav', 'buddypress' ),
			'position'   => 0
		)
	);
	
	return $array;
}
add_filter ('groups_create_group_steps', 'bp_remove_group_step_settings', 10, 1);

How to remove group avatar and cover photo tabs:
1. go to Dashboard » BuddyPress » Settings
2. untick Group Photo Uploads and Group Cover Image Uploads

How to remove group invite tab:

function bp_remove_group_step_invites() {

	global $bp;
	
	unset( $bp->groups->group_creation_steps['group-invites'] );
	
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'bp_remove_group_step_invites', 9999 ); 

How to remove forums tab:
Disable forums for buddypress…still havent figured out a more practical answer…

Hope this helps though!

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

And adjust the subject input field so that it looks for your $_GET variable.

It seems like any changes I make to the members-loop.php file doesn’t make a difference, so it makes me wonder if I am updating the correct file. (wp-content\child-theme\buddypress\members\members-loop.php) is the members-loop file I’ve updated. As well as my child-theme function and child-theme\buddypress\members\index.php.

If your customizations are theme-specific, then theme/functions.php and theme/buddypress are the places for your code.

You can put code in bp-custom.php, but it will run regardless of which theme is active.

Hi there,

I am looking for the same solution.

Using Membership Pro and Buddypress.

Anyone found a plugin or a coder? Willing to split costs as well.

Thanks

There is such setting: http://take.ms/iD38m
It should be checked.

And there is also such ticket in trac: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6482
It will allow comments syncing between activity stream item and posts (so they will appear in both places – very handy). This feature will be included into upcoming (in March) BuddyPress 2.5.

I added this to members-loop:

<?php /* Querystring is set via AJAX in _inc/ajax.php - bp_dtheme_object_filter() */ ?>
<?php do_action( 'bp_before_members_loop' ) ?>

<?php
if ( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) ==""){
$queryString = "type=alphabetical&action=alphabetical&page=1";}
else {$queryString = bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' );}
?>

<?php if ( bp_has_members( $queryString) ) : ?>

<strong>Index.php</strong>

<select id="members-order-by">
	<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) : ?>
		<option value="alphabetical"><?php _e( 'Alphabetical', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
	<?php endif; ?>
		<option value="active"><?php _e( 'Last Active', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
		<option value="newest"><?php _e( 'Newest Registered', 'buddypress' 

Functions.php (child theme)
/** Sort alphabetical name listings by lastname */
function alphabetize_by_last_name( $bp_user_query ) {
    if ( 'alphabetical' == $bp_user_query->query_vars['type'] )
        $bp_user_query->uid_clauses['orderby'] = "ORDER BY substring_index(u.display_name, ' ', -1)";
}
add_action ( 'bp_pre_user_query', 'alphabetize_by_last_name' );

Is that correct?

Thanks
Kim

Place this code in bp-custom.php or functions.php of your theme.

if ( ! is_super_admin() ) {
    add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}

This is a bug in BuddyPress.
Here is a new ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6846

Oh, and it seems there is a plugin-based solution for that: http://wptavern.com/conditionally-hide-buddypress-profile-field-groups-based-on-user-role

Out of the box there is no such setting.

You can take a look at this solution: Hide Profile Field Group from Specific Member Type

Hey wonky1,

I’m looking to do something similar. I’m currently on VB and want to move to something else. Xenforo looks like a likely candidate, but we want to be able to utilize BuddyPress.

May I ask how you’re running user management, registration and access? Is all of that managed by Xenforo, and WP is just pulling/syncing the data? Or the other way around? Waht are you doing for member profile pages? Combine the buddypress and Xenforo pages, or running two separate ones>

And maybe you can share some details on what you’re using for your bridge.

Lots of questions, but answers would be a big help.

Thanks!

If you are talking about site-wide notices – there is a default widget called “(BuddyPress) Sidewide Notices” that just displays notices. You should create them on “Profile -> Messages -> Compose” page, with “This is a notice to all users.” checkbox checked. Make sure you have BuddyPress Message component activated.

See this: http://take.ms/jSAP4

@idowu,

see if this may help you:
http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=a

In BuddyPress settings.

wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bp-components and deactivate the notifications component.

And please, read first the Codex before asking.

Hi,

have you activated Private message option in BuddyPress settings ?
have you the same issue when you use one of the Twenty something theme ?

Different message, but same answer as on your other topic:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/where-is-edit-this-3/#post-249128

Closing this one a duplicate.

Hi,

to modify the group directory sort order, you need a child-theme and a template overload of groups/index.php

Copy this file from bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/index.php to child, to get the following path:
wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/groups/index.php

In this copy, modify the html of the selector you’ll find at line 82~86 so the alpha. sort is in first position instead of latest.

I don’t see my fix in the source code of the /register page.
Does your theme have /members/ or /buddypress/ directory? If yes, please give me content of the file /members/register.php or /buddypress/members/register.php.
If there is no such file, – give me the content of a file (and its name) where you put the code I gave you. You can use http://pastebin.com/ to post there code from file (and post here in a forum only links to those files from pastebin).

Hi,

it’s a message within WordPress, not BuddyPress.
if you want to modify this text, you have to use the WordPress language file. (xx_XX.po in wp-content/languages).

Read here and here how to do that.
