BuddyPress.org

Hi all,

I created a plugin call BP Premiums. If you are ok with using WooCommerce, I can create an add-on that will allow BP users to purchase message quotas.

I have created purchasable for BuddyPress Storage and RTMedia Pro Gallery.

Let me know your thoughts

Gave a brief look comparing the two pages you provided. This is my input:

The problem lies with your header for the members page
which data-menu-type is null
Your main page data-menu-type=’simply’

you need to set it to data-menu-type=’simply’ then you should have no issue.
on how to do that I think you need to study how to set it back to simply on members page, should be more of a theme issue rather than buddypress i think.

Created a ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6885

Found a solution, though:

function edragonxx_rewrite_slug( $slug ) {
	return 'wp-login.php?action=register';
}

add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_slug', 'edragonxx_rewrite_slug' );

Try put this code into bp-custom.php or function.php of your theme:

remove_filter( 'register_url', 'bp_get_signup_page' );

UPD: this solution doesn’t work.

This doesn’t work either:

remove_action( 'bp_init', 'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );

Do you have any cache plugins activated? Try deactivating it first and check group’s page.
Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress – does the issue still remain?

Try https://polldaddy.com/ (an Automattic service/plugin) – free and paid versions available. No specific BuddyPress integration. Actually, there are a lot of such plugins in repository.

BuddyPress Social Polling – paid, haven’t use it.

Have the same problem: new wp install 442 + buddypress 2.5.8, first on theme 2016, then theme quest, both all the links in profile but no “add friend” button,
in bp settings all functions are enabled,
sending private messages works fine,
group owner invite people works, too

changing theme didn’t help.
Has anyone pls a suggestion?

If you don’t find a custom solution to this I just wanted to point out that plugin is built by @r-a-y, one of the BuddyPress core developers. I expect it should still work fine. As always, try it on a test install before adding to your live site.

My approach is usually start by installing WordPress and then install and activate the BuddyPress plugin. From there the next step is to choose a theme. Here you will have both free and paid options. You’ll find some good free themes here. Once you’re done with your website’s look and feel, begin to add functionality such as an ecommerce plugin like WooCommerce.

anyone know if the code mentioned here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/option-to-sort-inbox-msgs-new-to-old/#post-244547

is similar, worse, better ?

I need this functionality, but don’t trust random github code, and don’t know enough to understand that or the code above yet.

most likely permalinks setting… check, change, check, change again… check.

if not then check your buddypress tab settings to see that associated pages are set…

when you exported your sql did you check the box for “add drop table” or whatever?

The only way I’ve found to display private forums on the main forum listing page is to use the Private Groups plugin. From what I can tell, it does not use the BuddyPress groups feature — you have to create new groups within the plugin settings.

The good news is that the plugin does exactly what I was looking for: It allows you to have private forums for a subset of members, and the forum is not visible on the main forums page to anyone who is not part of that subset.

Note that the plugin requires you to use different “Recent Activity” widgets, in order to hide private activity from other users. Those widgets are included with the plugin.

If there is a way to do this natively with BuddyPress groups, I’d like to hear it.

You can put it in your theme or child-theme functions.php or in bp-custom.php.

I have same problem, tried to get rid of that stupid buddypress login system and replace it with original. But nothing worked, so tried uninstall buddypress and WOW same error. Can’t uninstall it anymore.

Buddypress guys you should FIX IT! And let people us own secured login pages.

Many peoples are waiting for this, but their is no exact piece of code to restrict group creation. And their is no latest posts in the Internet regarding restriction. Buddypress has been evolved as a one of best open source platform with best supporting community even though this problem has not been solved, sad part is from past few years many peoples queried about this you can check in this forum till date no solution.
I’m requesting the community to provide support to restrict group creation ( either direct or based on role) since old codes/plugins are not working any more.
Thanks

I agree that this should be a function in buddypress core. A standard checkbox to make a site private. If selected, a standard set of pages are automatically added as viewable by logged out/unregistered users (about us, privacy policy, terms of service, etc.), and able to be unchecked by the admin as necessary.

You know what, while we’re at it, Theme My Login plugin functionality should be added to core as well. The ability to customize the login for branding, and customizing the registration page; eg. viewable/required fields, to make it more site specific should be included as well.

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.
