BuddyPress.org

You’ll need to roll back your:

• files and folders (just delete the BuddyPress plugin and install version 2.3.3)
• database (do you keep backups?)

Note: You’ll need to do both. That said, your current database may still work if no changes have been made to the schema since 2.3.3. But proceed with caution and before you start anything back up everything!

Avoid editing core files and you should be fine. Instead, put your functions and code snippets in a bp-custom.php file or your child theme’s functions.php.

Also, check out the Template Hierarchy article for info on template editing.

@theexchangemarket please see the following thread

This is actually a significant problem for running BuddyPress with MemberPress, because MemberPress (and I’m guessing a lot of ecommerce plugins) require a First Name and Last Name for checkout. I don’t understand why BuddyPress doesn’t just update WP’s “Display name publicly as” field and leave alone the first/last fields. It seems very common in a social network for individuals to want to use a handle rather than their full name.

Maybe it’s an easy thing, but I am really confused. Please advise me.

Well, if it’s easy we’re both dummies cuz I find it extremely confusing myself.

Take the template for a single members profile page as an example.

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

is to be copied and renamed to your theme, but first you have to rename it to index.php for some reason. like this..

/wp-content/themes/THEMEFOLDER/buddypress/members/single/index.php

Or this one which I forget is to either view the inbox or a message thread..

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/messages/single/view.php

would change to..

/wp-content/themes/THEMEFOLDER/buddypress/members/single/index-action-view.php

Some template files are turned into ‘actions’, some are to be ‘components’, some files get renamed, some names stay the same but go in different folders than the bp-legacy structure, and so on.

Here’s a page that can sort of help make sense of it..

Template Hierarchy

Unless you are explictly using the bp-default theme as your Theme,
always use these templates bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

Re your current activity/index file in your child theme – use the index.php from the bp-legacy location and move any changes you want into that file.

@alonsotron all you will need to do is create blank pages with the same names and then in settings for buddypress associate the pages with register and activate action in the Pages tab of settings.

@danielmariveles

Just tested on a fresh install (regular config & multisite one).

When a user registers from the front-end registration form on both configs, i can’t manage to reproduce your issue.

first_name/last_name user meta are created
display_name field in table wp_users is created
value for the xProfile Name field is created in wp_bp_xprofile_data table

Title of the page is looking like this FirstName LastName - Site Name for profile’s page.

So everything works fine for me.

Are you sure it’s happening when a user registers ?
Have you tried without any other plugin activated than BuddyPress ?

You can open a ticket here using the same user / pw as this site.

Nice work @djpaul, looking forward to bp_send_email() being available. Ref: 6592#29

Look at function bp_core_time_since in buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-functions.php

That function contains several filter hooks that you can use to make changes.
The changes may only apply to content created going forward.

While this doesn’t help much, it’s an issue with bbPress, not BuddyPress.

We can’t support the Followers plugin here.

About the groups tag, I thought we fixed the no-count issue recently. What version of BuddyPress are you using?

Try adding this to your theme/functions.php or bp-custom.php

add_filter('bp_get_send_public_message_button', '__return_false');

buddypress used to have its own group based forums now what you do is when you create the group there is an option to also create a forum topic. you can also associate an already existing forum using the manage option on the group page as an admin.

there’s no need actually the user list is the same (wordpress’) and buddypress does not have any forum functionality other than compatibility with what bbpress provides.

It works up to 2.4 and maybe higher, but throws a slew of Notices.

@kalaiyarasi – the emails are generated in various files depending on which email it is.
You can filter most parts of the emails – on a per kind basis.
For example the friend request emails are generated in
\buddypress\bp-friends\bp-friends-notifications.php
See function friends_notification_new_request for the filter hooks.

And yes, the current approach is difficult to work with.
A better approach is being built, hopefully for the BP 2.5 release:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6592

Hi,

as long as these members haven’t loggedin for the first time, their name is held in xx_signup table and are mentionned as “pending” on members admin page.

As you use subdomain, i suppose you are on a network install, in which case, your members admin can be found at your_site/wp-admin/network/users.php (wp-admin/users.php on a single install).

If not, ensure that BP is installed at the same level as your WordPress. This is mandatory.
BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

Anything is explained here:

Getting Started

It doesn’t handle the avatar.
It creates Friend, Public & Private messages buttons.
And provides a hook for you to add another call.

See function setup_actions() in this file for where it is hooked to create the default buttons:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress-functions.php

Hi,
