Re: Hiding admins from member list:

In looking back at all of these threads I realize we didn’t jot down the root path to the file we need to update with this code: $excluded_user=’1, 23, 267′;

Can someone provide the path to get to this file? I can’t seem to find it again.

example: wp-content/buddypress/bp-themes/otherfoldername/filename.php

Thank you for your response.

I did ask Learndash and they referred me to third party programmers.

Since I am using buddypress groups, I thought it was appropriate to ask here as well. Apologies if I was mistaken!

So would it be something like this:

add_shortcode('course_mentor','nex_course_mentor');
function nex_course_mentor($atts, $content = null){
  if(!is_user_logged_in())
    return;
  if(!bp_is_active('groups'))
    return;

  $nex_group_id  = bp_get_group_id(get_current_user_id());

  if(!empty($nex_group_id)){
    foreach($nex_group_id as $nex_group_id){
      $nex_admins = groups_get_group_admins( $nex_group_id );
      foreach($admins as $admin){
        ?>
        <a href="<?php echo bp_core_get_user_domain($admin->user_id) ?>"
        title="<?php echo bp_core_get_user_displayname( $admin->user_id, true ) ?>">
        <?php echo  bp_core_fetch_avatar ( array( 'item_id' => $admin->user_id, 'type' => 'thumb' ) ) ?></a>';
  <?php
      }
    }
  }
}

I’m just copy/pasting and trying to connect a bunch of different answers together. As you can tell, I’m no coder.

Since each group may have more than one group leader/mentor I had a loop in there. Hopefully that will get the ball rolling on what I’m trying to do.

Am I on the right track?

Ok i find my problem !

I have this code in functions.php for the user can go tu the wp-admin panel.

function no_dashboard() {
  if (!current_user_can('publish_posts') && $_SERVER['DOING_AJAX'] != '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php') {
 	wp_redirect(home_url()); exit;
  }
}
add_action('admin_init', 'no_dashboard');

Thanks 🙂

they help me https://buddypress.org/support/topic/only-admin-can-upload-new-profile-pic-avatar/

I’m slowly approaching the solution. If i deactivate the plugin “BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type”. The Pictures are back. They overwrite the URL i think.

The reason seemed to be that the account I was posting from didnt have a buddypress registration only wordpress admin registratation.

Yep, BP has replaced my changes and the changes that I did in *.po (so, eventually in *.mo) files. Is there a way to disable Buddypress from updating translation file with the broken ones? I don’t need poorly translated versions on my site.

Thanks @henrywright. No luck with the above.

I got it working with this:

global $bp;
echo $bp->bp_nav['foo']['link'];

from the $bp doc https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/the-bp-global/

I am now wondering whether there is already a function defined for this.
Just like bp_loggedin_user_domain() works instead of global $bp; echo $bp->loggedin_user->domain;

To follow up…

I dug through the forums here a bit more, and re-checked my work (removing tables and keys from the database). I did not remove all settings from the database.

After disabling and removing the BuddyPress plugin, then backing up my database… I loaded up phpmyadmin > wp_options table > search for bp_ and bbp_ (I know “bbp_” if for bbPress, I just wanted a clean reset) and then removed all those settings from the database. Re-installed a fresh download of BuddyPress, and we’re all set. BuddyPress has been reset to “out-of-the-box” settings, and I am able to create groups again! Woohoo!

Hopefully this helps someone else! Thank you again for reaching out r-a-y. I am happy I didn’t have to bug anyone tremendously to get this resolved. 🙂

Cheers!
