BuddyPress.org

@danbp –

am I to understand – that you would make a buddypress.php and have just like:

<?php
if( !bp_is_groups_component() ) { 
   get_sidebar( 'content' );
}
?>

or maybe copy the page.php code and put it all into a new file buddypress.php – and add the code

if( !bp_is_groups_component() ) { 
   get_sidebar( 'content' );
}

to buddypress.php maybe in the head of it?

BP’s content comes full-width on 2014

Actually with my 2014 themed bp site I get a left and right sidebar on large monitor, it does not get into bp stuff taking full side space width until the screen shrinks to.. I dunno 1008 pix or so (one of those media queries)

So I think this code you are suggesting would indeed be useful with 2014 as well.

I have been looking a couple of plugins like ‘dynamic sidebars’ (maybe it was dynamic widgets) – and ‘content aware sidebars’ – one of these I saw recently says is plays well with BP – and I was thinking one of these may be able to solve some common problems that bp peeps run into in regards to wanting to change content on the various psueodo pages.. however I am not sure that any of those plugins would remove all widgets from the sidebar on some pages, and if they DID.. would that make theme X go full width for that area anyhow? not likely, but it’s a nice dream.

Anyhow thanks for the info I might test this out a bit not that I am digging deeper into 2014 and bp..

A child theme contain usually
style.css
functions.php

To make it work with BP, you add a copy of the original page.php of 2014 and rename it buddypress.php

2014 comes also with a full-width template which is in page-templates folder.
If you compare both files, you will see that the only difference is at line 40 of page.php
get_sidebar( 'content' );

To get what you want, you simply add a conditionnal to this part.

if( !bp_is_groups_component() ) { 
   get_sidebar( 'content' );
}

That said, i think it’s not necessary, as with or without this hack, BP’s content comes full-width on 2014. At least and by default, in the whole white zone, right of the left black sidebar. Also remind that 2014 is a left aligned theme, which can let think that you have a lot of space on the right, specially on a large desktop screen.

With 2012, it’s a bit different, as this theme use a class called full-width, directly in the html. To use the same technique, we have to echo the div to get the condition to work properly.
And 2013 doesn’t use a full-width template.

<?php if( !bp_is_groups_component() ) { 
       echo '<div id="content" role="main">';
 } else { 
echo '<div id="content" class="full-width" role="main">';
 } ?>

Settings > Email should do it. Alternatively you can go straight to the page via:

You’re lucky !
Download the latest version of the plugin, as it seems that this is now in since 101 minutes:
Added support for Buddypress custom profile fields

https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-auto-affiliate-links/

@froster2,

add a conditionnal to existing on template for that element.
$user_id != bp_loggedin_user_id()

In /child-theme/buddypress/members/single/activity.php
Replace line 48 or so with this:

if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_my_profile() && ( $user_id != bp_loggedin_user_id() ) && ( !bp_current_action() || bp_is_current_action( 'just-me' ) ) )

WordPress is the software behind buddyPress.
If you need custom roles&capabilities on your site, you can add roles programatically as explained on your mentionned tutorial. If it works, site admin can attribute one of the additionnal role to members, within admin.

BuddyPress, at this time, handles only member types. A member type is not a role or a capability à la WordPress, but only a way to sort better your members. In other words, a kind of a member category.

To handle such behave from front-end while registering, you can associate a xprofile field value with an existing WP role. See here for a solution (untested) provided a few month ago.

Add snippet to your child theme functions.php or into bp-custom.php and give it a try.

I also faced the same error, showing HTTP error while upload avatar on buddypress profile.
On my site also have bbpress and BuddyPress plugins.
In my site don’t have BBPress plugin ‘Forum Restrict’.
Can you advice how I would resolve this issue.

@deklein
starting a new thread for the exact same issue is rude and wastes precious support time (of which we have very little around here) – please keep it in the same thread: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-logged-in-menu-items-not-manifesting/

@mods please delete this one.

@deklein – it certainly would not hurt, and would be pretty fast and easy to make a backup of your entire wordpress install (all files on server, maybe a zipped folder) – then delete your buddypress plugin and all your default themes.. reinstall a fresh 2014 theme and buddypress – activate and test. Very strange that those do not show up with all other plugins disabled while switched to 2014 theme – and you even checked screen options..

I would say before trying that I would try to mess with that menu using a different browser.. sometimes things work in firefox that do not work in chrome.. sometimes a browser plugin blocks something from loading somewhere that you may not find is an issue when using Internet Explorer..

Sounds like this is a theme issue and likely not an issue in regards to the 2014 / 2015 themes.. so you are probably going to have to contact your theme author about this.

You also did not provide any info about your setup – ( https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/ ) so there is no way anyone could guess about this.. have things changed with bp? quite a bit with some updates, and not so much with others –

you should disable all plugins aside from bp and see if the issue continues first imho.

if so – your theme author will likely have to dig into the issue.

Review this example.
You’ll need to adjust it to gather PM levels.
Ditto re this example.

A BP site uses BP to register users.
So afaik, it is not possible to create a WP account but not automatically a BuddyPress profile.

The best place to learn how BuddyPress works is the codebase. Over the past few years, the inline docs have been improved tremendously and are now at a point where they’re very useful.

I’ve got the same problem. My installed theme is KLEO. I don’t know how but when I installed the same KLEO and related plugins on my PC’s localhost. The register/activate pages of BuddyPress v2.3.3 DID APPEAR! I opened both online and localhost pages on the same browser Google Chrome. How weird!
BTW, I guess we have to create the pages manually.Thanks @danbp for your reply

@swissprice – There are several “chat” plugins what “work with wordpress / buddypress” – it would be easy to establish a group chat room that allows registered and non-registered users to chat with each other via the main chat room – and they can private message each other there.

As far as “begin chat with this user” – I think you would need something that says “User A” is online now – and a setting that would allow a non-registered, non-logged in person to send a “message”. I think I saw a thread a while back where someone was trying to adapt the “single user profile page” to allow guest comments, aka activity post on that profile / user’s activity page..

Not sure exactly what you are going for here.

When you mention a member in a blog comment, that member is informed of that on is profile notification screen and via the notif bubble in user menu (top right under howdy). But no mail is send in this case.
