BuddyPress.org

Trouble is other then the lack of buddypress support I really like my theme, I guess that’s always going to be an issue unless I can find an alternative that has the right look and feel. None of those that were listed for example seem to support a header image, which I find is desirable. Also, they tend to be a bit too buddypress centric as far as I can see.

Pretty sure next set of templates will have members as a grid, yes. All of the popular third-party BuddyPress themes have done it like this, so we’d be foolish to not do the same.

Regardless of how you added the users, if you chose to not have emails sent, you need find a WordPress plugin that will do this for you (if any exist — resending emails is a bit niche).

If you added them through BuddyPress on the front-end, emails should have been sent out. I’d start investigating the mail configuration on your server to check it is correctly set up to deliver email.

I am looking into how promptly we may be closing old discussion threads (if we leave them open, someone replies to them months or years later, normally with a “did anyone ever find a solution” etc”, and the discussion’s out of date). I can’t see any threads that you’ve started recently that have been closed, so I’m assuming you meant generally.

Also, we appreciate your feedback. This isn’t the first time you’ve complained about some of the design/theming aspects of BuddyPress, but unfortunately threads like this don’t help us make the software better. You’re more likely to get a better response if you share unconstructive comments like these on your own site/blog rather than these support forums (if you do, be sure to link us here to it so we can go read it). Thanks.

In post #190874 on the topic you’ve linked to, snippet 2 has the line:

$excluded_user='1'; // Id's to remove, separated by comma

You can just add more user IDs like this and those IDs will be excluded from the loop:

$excluded_user='1,34,56,201'; // Id's to remove, separated by comma

So it is better for this plugin to do the styling.

BuddyPress is intentionally built to be flexible. Even though it works well “out-of-the-box” it isn’t designed to be finished. If we added everything to core, then it would bloat the project. The idea is for you to extend your own personal copy of BuddyPress with plugins and themes to make it unique. There’s 2m+ BuddyPress sites out there (according to the number of downloads) and we wouldn’t want them all looking and acting the exact same.

Best request so far on this forum and surprised you reopened this thread. Buddypress, bbPress, and WordPress are so easily close the threads before anything is even discussed and easily just assumes its better to go to a theme author to implement it when it not the theme author that works on this plugin at all. Theme Authors are 3rd party. So it is better for this plugin to do the styling.

It’s easy to add a member’s display name.
Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

Then replace this:

	<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() ) : ?>
		<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></h2>
	<?php endif; ?>

With this:

        <?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() ) : ?>
            <h2 class="user-fullname">
                <?php bp_displayed_user_fullname(); ?>
                <small>@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></small>
            </h2>
        <?php endif; ?>

Yeah I’m not aware of any that integrate with Buddypress, all of them seem to be their own variants on WordPress.

With Mediapress you need to save the settings at least once in order to get it to activate.

After that you need to set a Gallery page in the Buddypress page settings.

With that completed, users can create their own galleries and group admins can choose to have their own galleries too.

Mediapress is still in Beta and changes pretty much daily so be sure you have the latest download.

hi @fahrenheit80,

the solution is given on this topic:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-tabs-from-group-admin-nav-2/

Maybe you could ask on the WordPress Forums? This is more a wordpress issue than Buddypress.

Think you need to raise this with the plugin forum

Do you mean BuddyPress users accessing the main WP site? BuddyPress users and WordPress users are the same, perhaps with different roles and capabilities but they all live in the users table. So two-way access shouldn’t be a problem.

If you feel multisite is the way to go, then I’d suggest you set up a test install first to try it out. Creating a network will add lots of new tables to your install and rolling back won’t be easy.

If I understand your requirements right, I wouldn’t use multisite for this. I also wouldn’t use separate installs.

Considering you just need a main site area and a BuddyPress area, I would aim to keep things as simple as possible and address this problem with a custom theme. You can add a /your-theme/buddypress/ folder which contains all of your BuddyPress templates. Then it’s just a case of styling both the main area and your BuddyPress pages to look consistent.

Why has this thread not been answered. I installed buddyPress yesterday, and I’m having the same problem on my Galaxy Not 3.
