Have you tried deactivating all the plugins apart from BuddyPress?

Use the sort parameter.

Activity Loop

@Masterpef- I really like how your profile page looks like.Would it be too much if I ask you how did you create it? Do I create a new page in wordpress and give it a profile name.And than Plugin works the magic? Or is there some code,I need to place in html editor? Or add to theme.php or sth? I am trying to understand how it works.. :-/ Thank you.
Ps. How much do I actually need to know to build a membership site with BUddyPress? I mean how much of coding? How technical is it? Is there a step,by step detailed tutorial that maybe you have used?

Hey @venutius

It’s great to see you’re interested in contributing. Check out the Participate and Contribute article for the various ways you can help out with the project.

Hope this helps!

I remember looking at a plugin called something like Buddypress custom profile menu, maybe that would do it for you?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

Looking at the Activity Loop article, there’s 3 steps to this:

1. Pass display_comments to your loop:

if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&display_comments=stream' ) ) :

2. Wrap your HTML in an activity class (This is an optional step if you want AJAX to work).

3. Add the code (see article) inside your loop, below activity-content and above the closing list item tag.

Hey, sorry I’m new to Buddypress too and I can’t help you. But I’m also interested in your questions. Had you got any answer for you question? If it is yes, I want to know how you solved these problem. If it’s not, let’s find it out together.

If you go to Settings > BuddyPress and then select the Settings tab at the top, you should see Blog & Forum Comments under the Activity Settings section on that page. Ensure that checkbox is checked.

Re BadgeOS plugin conflict: please post the issue at the plugin’s support page at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/badgeos

Re error with Media upload: Do you mean you cannot upload media from the Page/Post/Media > Add New panels? Then do provide more information https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/. If you’re using a third-party media plugin, please post the issue at that plugin’s support forums.

I found this:

https://bp-tricks.com/featured/buddypress-shortcodes-plugin/

It is a bp shortcodes plugin that has a display members function.

shouldn’t BuddyPress create those pages automaticallyyes, but only when it is the first install. As you sed a member plugin previously with a page name member, BP didn’t create one as it already exist. But BP doesn’t check for existing plugins, just for “his” pages.

Anyway, as you added BP, than reinstalled or reactivate, the page was already registered in the wp_post table, with a post_type of ‘page’ and a post_status of ‘publish’.

Also, in the WP system, when a page is in the trash, it is not deleted. The page is still in the table, but with a post_status of ‘trash’. To remove it completely you need to delete it permanently. Click on trash and use the appropriate button.

Now the issue. You have 2 member pages. The one has a slug /member/, the other has a slug /member-2/.
The one may show in the pages list and the other in the trash. This naming is the internal way used by WP to differenciate 2 pages with a same name. That’s fine, but BP dosn’t know about that, and you can run into trouble because of this. And other plugins also.

Ensure you have only one page called ‘member’ and clear the trash. And delete completely the other one. Do the same for any other BP page eventually. The principle is to have an unique page name in the pages list and no identical page in trash.

Yes you have to create these page manually now. By default, each component should have one page assigned. On a standart install, you should have at least:
members – activity. If activated, group. And depending of the previous status of your WP (before BP installation) a page for activation and registration. If not in BP’s page settings, you have to add them manually.

Note also that all these pages exist only to give a slug to each component. These page are not ordinary WP pages, but slugs placeholder used internally by WP to connect the components.
That’s why they should exist, be blank and without any model or template assignation.

The content is added dynamically by BP for each component with the appropriate template to the current action.

e.g. the member page. You can name it to what you want. Lets say you called it crew. His slug is /crew/
When typing your-site.xx/crew/ you will see something related to the member component.

The member directory is default: your-site/crew/ will show all your members

Now you want to see a profile. The slug wont change, but only the action.
Again your-site/crew/ (the default slug, aka page) and the new action: go to the profile of /username/
Click on a member name and you’re now on his profile: your-site/crew/username
Now from the profile you want to see that users friends.
your-site/crew/username/friends

As you see, you’re always on the same “page”, but with different content depending the context. This context is defined by anything appearing after the slug name.
This behave is the exact inverse of a traditionnal WP page, intended for so called static contents such as about page or TOS and similar stuff.

Hope this point is now clear to you.

The pages are probably already in your dashboard – pages – view all – just not associated (?)

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.
