BuddyPress.org

You use only a profile album, isn’t it ?
First, you have to decide what should happen in the future. Should this gallery be definetly unique ?

If yes, you can programmatically remove the Album item from the main menu, and add by doing the same, a custom item, if when cliked, leads to the profile gallery.

Isn’t the case with your theme. It doesn’t use a standart primary nav menu.
But you can create a new menu (call it caesarnav or what ever unique), add anything related to buddypress from the buddypress menu options(on the left), and choose the galleries option (below BP options) where your profile album is. Then simply add this to the custom menu and assign this menu as header menu. This will replace the default graphene menu by your custom menu.

Try using this hook do_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', $user_id, $key, $user );
from buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-functions.php

Hi guys,

sorry to jump in, thought you need a little help from a mediapress early adopter.
But first, about the theme used by @caesarhills.

About Graphene
The theme has an option where you can hide child pages. You probably don’t need to show all your site pages listing below BuddyPress content as you use the buddy menu.
dashboard > appearance > graphene options. Tab General > child page option, select hide listing.

About Mediapress
@venutius, @caesarhills
You don’t need to use a shortcode to get a list off existing galleries. This is default behave.

Caesar, you use BP on network. When you use mediapress, take in account this remark from MP’s author:
If you don’t want to have a separate MediaPress Installation for all the sites, please do not network activate MediaPress. Only activate it on your Main BuddyPress site.

MediaPress is best suited on a Multisite install if you activate it on main site or network activate if you are using BuddyPress Multi Network plugin.

1) When you install a directory uploaded on Github (which is the case of mediapress), github add automatically -master to that folder. You have to remove that when you add the directory to wp-content/plugins/. So to get mediapress working correctly, ensure that the plugin path is
wp-content/plugins/mediapress/ and not wp-content/plugins/mediapress-master like it is setted on trato111.org actually

2) activate mediapress like any other plugin. When BP is installed, you get a message telling mediapress has no page associated to it. Click on repair and add a page manually. Call it ‘album’. Then assign this page to MediaPress component on BuddyPress > settings > pages. Save.

Return to front and reload it. Now you should see a menu item called Album beside Activity, Groups, etc. on the main menu.

Click and you see an empty Album page with the usual search filter for galleries, a sort filter for galleries and a little message telling you “There are no galleries available!”.

Again, that’s the default behave. Note that i didn’t evoquate mediapress settings. I described you only what happens when you install mediapress by default.

For more in-deep details, please refer to MediaPress documentation.

And if you want to use shortcodes, do it after reading this doc.

You seem to have set that page up as the Buddypress Gallery page, and this will over-ride any shortcode you have set for it. Go to your Buddypress settings, to PAges and remove the Page Album from the gallery page, then let me know so I can look.

would it be possible to have a shout to both admins and mods?

I thought about that but there’s a slight problem using @admin or @administrator as a command. Most BuddyPress websites use these usernames as their main user account. To avoid notifying the main site admin, we need to think of a different command to use for this group.

According to this, group member lists include Admins and Mods by default, and there is an optional setting to exclude them. Have you changed this behaviour?

Group Members Loop

Following this should work:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Seems I gave you the wrong link, this is the one I meant to give you:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Use Peodit to edit your language file and create the mo file.

This issue was brought up a few months ago.. hmm.. for that person it runed out to be a theme issue – but I think one of the things brought up to check it…

on the menus page – click “screen options” tab at top right and make sure there is a check in checkbox for “show buddypress stuff” – or something like that.

“BuddyPress Global Search”

“Bp profile search”

I guess is what you may be wondering about.

I would suggest you skip the captcha on registration and instead use something like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-humanity/

or the plugin “good question”

There is another similar to those.. in my experience these work 100 times better in preventing spam registrations..

I also use “ip geo block”

These took my spam fighting down from hours a day to a minutes a week.

In some case, BP doesn’t create automatically a page for components.
If a page named Group doesn’t exist in the page list, create one. And asign it to groups.
Of course, the group component must be activated in BP’s components setting.

Configure BuddyPress

Have you read here ?

Group Extension API

BuddyPress doesn’t use likes. This is probably due to a plugin.
Test first with twenty fifteen, and if the issue is still in, ask the plugin author.

Also I found this:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/displaying-user-roles-in-profile/

see this post

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-all-admins-from-all-buddypress-activities/

Does the followers plugin extend activity types by registering their type?
If not, you’ll have to do it yourself.

Add custom filters to loops and enjoy them within your plugin

One additional feature I was thinking about, a bit of a leap, would be that ability of the user to configure their own user group to send mentions to, a subset of their friends that they may wish to send shouts to.

Setting up arbitrary groups of members is a good idea, but I think that functionality should belong in a separate plugin. This plugin just hooks into existing collections of users such as friends, mods, group members etc.

Also, currently the notification message includes the text @group, I was wondering about removing this to enable to nicer formatting for the message.

The notification text can be localised using a language file. See the Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article for info on how you can do that.

xprofile component use his own tables:
_bp_xprofile_data
_bp_xprofile_fields
_bp_xprofile_groups
_bp_xprofile_meta
See here for detailed structure: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/buddypress-database-diagram/

Somehow related to your question, this topic who explains how to use bp_update_user_meta (update_user_meta belongs to WP)
