BuddyPress.org

Hi, nice one!

Would you like to participate in a small plugin testing? It’s about search inside BuddyPress (groups, members, forums). This plugin will display you info who searches for what and where (in your case mainly members searching other members on Members directory page, as you have only 2 groups and no forum). BP Search won’t break anything 🙂 It just collects information (no “phoning home”). I will than ask you for feedback and suggestions.
If interested – please contact me via [MyUsernameHere]@list.ru

There can be some plugins that make this happen. Try deactivating all of them (except BuddyPress) one by one to see which might cause it.
You could have written some code in bp-custom.php file or in your theme’s functions.php – check those files as well.

Also, groups can’t be added to forums – they are different components. Although groups can have own forums.

OR

You can add these styles to your theme css file:

#members-all{display:none}
#buddypress .profile h4{display:none}

“Tab Base”

To delete Base and all other fields groups names in user profile:
1. find in your theme file /buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php
2. Delete in that file: this line: <h4><?php bp_the_profile_group_name(); ?></h4>

If you don’t have such file in your theme, than copy this file:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php
into your theme here:
/wp-content/themes/[your-theme]/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php
and remove the line that I wrote above (with h4).

Members Directory – All Members

1. find in your theme file /buddypress/members/index.php
2. Delete in that file the line with this text: id="members-all"

If you don’t have such file in your theme – do the same thing as written above but for index.php file.

You should understand, that this will break ability to filter results on members directory page.

Community members and wp users are the same thing and are stored in an unique DB table: xx_users which is the one you can bulk import/export.

I invite you to read through the Codex about members and what it does when it extend WP users.

Hi,

review BuddyPress settings page for:
Profile Settings
Profile Photo Uploads [x] Allow registered members to upload avatars

Try this:

function remove_wysiwyg($enabled, $field_id) {
    // change this field_id to the one you need to have ordinary textarea
    if ( $field_id == 22 ) 
        return false;

    return $enabled;
}

add_filter( 'bp_xprofile_is_richtext_enabled_for_field', 'remove_wysiwyg', 10, 2 );

Place the code in bp-custom.php.

Sorry, I was answering an oft-asked question re showing up in members loop.

You can add an activity item:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_activity_add/

You could create a custom action, but it’s more work.
Try using activity_update as the action

The codex has examples of how to use BP_User_Query to filter the loop and preserve the order of ids.

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/bp_user_query/#code-examples

This is a required field
On my screenshot here https://monosnap.com/file/GLDmV6D1PVbSwtSEB7rDVQatZKcC93# that text (This field is required) is just a field description.

It seems to me, that you are using the old version of BuddyPress. What is it?
On newest versions required fields are marked with the text (required), and not asterisk.

I would also like to have some help to this topic.

I have the same problem. Two languages on my site using polylang! How can these buddypress pages be translated and work to the second language as well?

Thank you in advance!

Issue is whenever user post a comment

@mjc82in Just so we’re clear, when you say “post a comment”, do you mean post a comment in the comment form of a blog post? If so, that could be an issue with a theme which needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest WP and BP versions.

What theme are you using? Have you tried changing to the Twenty Fifteen theme and check if issue is resolved?

I can give access to my site to one of the moderators or developer if it helps.

We will ask for a throw-away (not admin) account should the need arise. But at this stage, it’s looking to be a theme issue, not a BuddyPress bug. So your problem is not resolved by changing the theme, do provide answers to all the questions in the link I gave you so we can see the overall structure of your installation.

I believe this theme compatibility problems is better to discuss with theme authors. I googled and found several issues with this particular theme, that users can’t fix by themselves.

BuddyPress tries to work with all possible themes, and it’s very hard to be good with everyone. In my opinion, theme authors should check their themes with popular plugins.

Separate languages – no, because all the plugins (and BuddyPress is a plugin) use the same language as the system. Because of the amount of hooks/filters in WordPress it’s nearly impossible (or very time and/or resources consuming) to create a reliable solution, that will switch language for plugins, but will not for WordPress.

The easiest way is to have /wp-admin in one language, and front-end – in another.
Here is the solution: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-languages-for-front-end-and-back-end?replies=5

I’m the developer of this plugin.

BP Default Data does nothing on plugin activation and deactivation. It has own clearing routine, you can see it here: https://github.com/slaFFik/BP-Default-Data/blob/master/bp-default-data.php#L643
If you deleted dummy data by your own – some orphaned data could be left in DB. It’s better to use built-in functionality. It removes everything, not touching the user with ID=1. It does NOT touches wp_posts table, where all posts and pages are stored.

To fix – just create a page and assign it as Members directory page in BuddyPress -> Pages.

@johnnybkk, could you please tell me how did you manage to get buddypress with polylang or or other multilanguage plugin

It works : http://www.mysite/members

You might want to read this reply:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/css-causing-cover-image-to-disappear/#post-248031

Let me know if that helps.

I think activate.php

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/activate.php

To edit you will first want to copy it to your own theme’s buddypress folder
