Hi David,

Can’t see any errors in your code, so it should work for BuddyPress (try the do_action within a BP file to double check). Hopefully Shane’s suggestions will work for you!

There should be a BuddyPress log in widget, which you can easily add to any widget area.

Does How to make my site like Facebook help?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Ohhhh, I think I know why it’s not working. It’s because order.php is in de Learnpress plugin, and trying to get data from Buddypress. I’m not using your code inside Buddypress only…

So: order.php in the Learnpress plugin needs to pull the data from the Buddypress plugin. When I change

Opleiding: <?php
do_action ( 'user_opleiding_field' ); 
?>

in order.php to your new suggestion it doesn’t work either. Should your new suggestion work with a secondairy plugin (Learnpress?).

Sorry if I’m asking dumb questions. I’m do have some PHP knowledge, but not enough to figure this kind of stuff out myself. I hope you can help us out!

David

Ahh I see. I haven’t used that approach personally for my custom CSS. Just got the one CSS file (style.css) for everything at the moment, WP Theme and BuddyPress. I use comments and sections to organise it.

I can only think of a few things to try, though you probably have done these already (ensure the cover image option is ticked in the WP dashboard):

1. Remove all your custom CSS files temporarily and see if the cover image appears by default. If it does, then the problem is probably isolated to your CSS rather than with BuddyPress or your main Theme.
2. Use the browser developer tools (F12) to see if the id for cover image appears in the code even if you can’t see anything on screen. If it does try manipulating its attributes to bring it to the foreground as it may be hidden beneath other layers (z-index). Or display: none layers around it to see what is hiding it.
3. Check the id’s against your CSS. New id’s were obviously introduced for the cover image which weren’t in old BuddyPress CSS files which you may have used as a base for your custom one.
4. Try another theme with your custom CSS to see if it is a theme issue
5. Put all your custom BuddyPress CSS into the standard style.css file within a child theme and see if it works that way.

HI ! I have the same problem … I understand what coeycoey writes , here is the explanation ;

Add BuddyPress Styles to a Theme

Everything is great and everything works , just does not appear cover image … ??? any Solution ?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, not sure from your description whether or not you have already created a child theme with your own CSS file?

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

You can just make all your styling changes in that instead of copying various whole CSS files from the BuddyPress folders (and your changes will be kept whenever WP or BP are updated).

Also double check the box for cover photo is ticked on your WP dashboard if you want your users to be able to use them.

Where are you viewing the profile field?
On a member profile page?
If so, you can use this php function bp_the_profile_field_description() in a template overload of buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\profile-loop.php.

If you mean the register page, create a template overload of that template
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php
and move the call to bp_the_profile_field_description() wherever you want it.

I don’t think you can do it with just css.

Hi,

generally, a 508 error means that your website is hitting one or more of the hosting account’s virtual resource limits: CPU Usage, RAM Usage, I/O usage or Entry Processes.

first thing to check is your server ressources. Use phpinfo() to get thoose information.

Then compare with minimum requirements for a WordPress/BuddyPress install.

In the meantime, open wp-config.php and activate debug mode (set it from false to true) and see if you receive some notices or warnings.

If you get a php error, such as a missing tag, you have to repair that. Or upload a new copy of an eventually mentionned file. Or if you did some custom coding somewhere, remove it or revert back…

If there is no error mentionned, it is your host plan which is not taylored for WordPress/BuddyPress. In this case, you have to change your host or plan, if you want to use the full power of WP !

You will be confortable with at least php 5.5 and a memory_limit of 64 mb

Hi,

check your theme translation or menu settings and eventually your plugins (if you use some).

On your members page source code, there is a long phrase in english inside a div which is not from BuddyPress:
You can browse all activities here. Use menu below if you want to browse only specific activities like […]

The theme was published in 2013, it could be possible that it is not updated for latest BP version…

You will need to create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\profile-loop.php

And write a conditional to handle the visibility of that field.

See this for an example of collecting user ids based on xprofile field:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-members-loop/

If you plan to use the members loop code, BP will reorder the members based on last_activity.
But you can preserve the order by using the user_ids field.
More info: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/bp_user_query/#code-examples

You may be able to accomplish your task via bp_parse_args, but I’m not sure if you can preserve the order:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/using-bp_parse_args-to-filter-buddypress-template-loops/

Ah OK, cool. In that case you may also be interested to hear about bp_parse_args(). I think it’s a better way of doing what you want. This approach will also handle the loop pagination for you. For example:

function my_func( $ret ) {
    // Your custom stuff here. 
    return $ret;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_func' );

See the Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops article for a complete guide.

sw_partner_activity isn’t a BuddyPress hook. Are you using a plugin?
