BuddyPress.org

@varun404 – first thing I would do is go to settings -> permalinks.. make note of what they are.
Then change them to something else.
save.
then change back to pretty permalinks.
save.

then check your url – is it working then?

if not.. then make sure you have created pages that bp needs, and associated them:

Configure BuddyPress

if that is all set write, I would check my htaccess to make sure it is writable and wordpress is indeed adding code to make permalinks work.

have you tried looking at this Forum ??

bp-custom.php

hi @tafmakura,

As first, did you activated Activity auto-refresh in BP settings ?
Second, as it concern a custom feature of yours, you have to check for ajax requests on your action post variable.
That said, there is a latency of 15 seconds before “load more” will show up a new activity. Not sure if this can be modified.

Seach on Trac for some hints about Ajax and activity.
Perhaps those tickets #5328, #6195 can help you.

You can add this to your robots.txt file:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /members/

Feel free to add more fields for the different areas of BuddyPress.

Note that it doesn’t guarantee Googlebot et al won’t index these pages, it just requests that they don’t.

hi,

first snipppet removes the mention tab.
Second remove the mention item from the top right usermenu below howdy.

Condition is set to site admin. If you use custom capabilities, change that to your need.
Code goes to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_hide_mention_nav() {
	//if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) )
	if ( is_super_admin() ) {
		return;
	} 
	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'mentions' ); 
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'bpfr_hide_mention_nav' );

function bpfr_admin_bar_remove_activity_mentions(){
global $wp_admin_bar;
	if ( is_super_admin() ) {
		return;
	}
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-activity-mentions');
}
add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render','bpfr_admin_bar_remove_activity_mentions');

An alternate (IMO better) solution, is this premium plugin: http://www.philopress.com/products/buddynotes/

User Extended Profiles

To redirect your users to their friends activities page on login, you can use this:

function bpdev_redirect_to_profile( $redirect_to_calculated, $redirect_url_specified, $user ){
 
    if( empty( $redirect_to_calculated ) )
        $redirect_to_calculated = admin_url();
 
    //if the user is not site admin,redirect to his/her profile
	$url = bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) .'activity/friends/';

    if( isset( $user->ID) && ! is_super_admin( $user->ID ) )
        return $url;
    else
        return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/
 
}
add_filter( 'bp_login_redirect', 'bpdev_redirect_to_profile', 11, 3 );

Snippet source: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-trick-redirect-users-to-their-profile-on-login/

To add a home button to the main menu, use WP’s menu builder. But this doesn’t let you add a dynamic button going to EACH user profile, only to yours. You will have to code this.

See from here how to do this:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-notification-count-code/#post-244069
You need to introduce this:
$url = bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) .'activity/friends/';

This is possible as built-in feature from within a profile. Each field value is clickable by default (in fact the 5 first words). When clicked, you get a list of all members who entered the same value.

To list the member directory by xprofile field values, you have to code it or modify the directory template. Read from here:

Members Loop

How else would I override the buddypress file unless it was in my child theme with the same name?

You should NOT override core files. The only files you alter from child theme are template files.

To alter core functions, you use custom functions and add them via filter hooks, preferably added to bp-custom.php – so you won’t loose your work at next update.

member-profile.php doesn’t exist in BuddyPress.

Displaying Extended Profile Fields on Member Profiles

… and forum search too. 😉

@ajaysingh-1,

see from here if it helps you:

bp_activity_comment_posted

If you think you’ve found a bug in 2.3.3, you can submit a ticket here.
Be sure to include some screenshots.

the column on the right are added profile fields, you can remove the field from the admin

more info on profile fields https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/extended-profiles/

BuddyPress and WP do not have two usernames. Is this the BuddyPress registration form or another form by a plugin?

You think right. BuddyPress need this field to sync with WordPress.
It’s really confusing for the user to set the username twice.
And what about entering password twice ?

Read from here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-the-username-and-display-firstnamelastname/

the pages go directly to groups/name_group/forum, so i have a not found error

Let’s think that you set up forum wrong. Verify your bbPress settings. Or that you added some bbPress shortcodes to the BP group page.

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

On a correct install of BP/bbP, if a group has a forum, it is because the group creator activated it.

As site admin, go to the group management on front-end and deactivate the forum.

or/and

If you don’t want forum for groups, simply deactivate this option in bbPress settings.
Deactivate also Allow users to create forums in BuddyPress settings.

Yes ! You need to use template overload, then you can remove that part from the template.
While creating a new group:
See bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/create.php
While modifying a group:
bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/single/admin.php

Caution: if you do this, you can only use public or private groups. Hidden groups are “invite users” only.

It is standard! At least if you use xprofile component to let your users enter their signature.

1) Create a new field. Call it Signature and give it a textarea type.
2) Once this field is edited by a user, during registration or later, the signature appears on his profile.

3) if you want this field somewhere else, for ex on the profile header, you simply write a function to call this field and hook it into the template you want.

Ie. Add this to child theme functions.php or bp-custom.php

function my_signature() {	
if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )
   if ( $signature = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) : // field name; case sensitive				
      echo $signature;	
   endif;
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'my_signature' );

Or to use Henry’s advice
add_filter( 'bp_after_profile_content', 'my_signature' );
