I only found this old thread but with broken links unfortunately: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/member-profile-url-with-user-id-instead-of-username/

So any input would be appreciated.

Hi @recagenda,

you can’t enable this, because it doesn’t exist. I could be wrong, but so far i know, private conversation are not paginable.

Reference file is bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\messages\single.php

Reference file: buddypress\bp-groups\bp-groups-widgets.php

Or maybe this plugin ?

@sismis,

Howdy [username] is part of WordPress Toolbar. When BP is activated, it add a sub-menu to this menu.

If you want it elswhere, it’s not really possible as the BP part of it was written to go to the admin_bar only.

To get a similar menu, you simply add buddypress menu to your theme main menu (explained on above codex link). But this menu will be static and you cant get same details.

Another solution is to recode that menu, so you can add it with a filter function to wp_nav_menu, which handles the main menu or the header menu.

To do this, you can use a new Walker Class extention or the existing filter. Possibly also some other ways to do this, but i don’t know them.

To remove the Howdy menu and the attached BuddyPress Profile sub menu from the Toolbar, you can use this snippet (in functions.php or bp-custom.php):

function bpfr_remove_my_account_menu() {  
    global $wp_admin_bar;  
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('my-account');  
}  
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpfr_remove_my_account_menu' );

I would GUESS that you could edit that plugin to add in the code as mentioned above https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-users-can-link-to-their-profile/

Or ask the plugin author for clarification.

I stopped using that plugin when they added the extra security stuff for strong passwords that broke things for me.. however the plugin’s support page is pretty active, and given that he/she has options for redirecting users after login based on role – there may be an easy way to add such functionality to the plugin by asking the plugin author.

There is a bit of info with some of the functions here ->https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/members-navigation-menus/

I see others are asking about bp xprofile fields and such within the them my login support forum,
( wordpress.org/support/plugin/theme-my-login )
so hopefully this plugin author will add more and more BP options – I enjoyed using that plugin some time ago – hope it continues to mature.

@sismis
maybe this will help without getting into code -> https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/buddypress-links-in-wordpress-menus/

@djsteveb +1 !

@atfpodcast,

– you go to your menu dashboard and select the menu of your theme (if exist, it should be there)
– you open screen option (top right) on menu admin and select BuddyPress
– you select profile in the left column where BuddyPress appeared and give it a title XYZ
– save and you’re done !

Now you have a XYZ button near Home, About and whatever is already on your theme menu.
Doc is here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/buddypress-links-in-wordpress-menus/

You could create a template overload of this file:
bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\notifications.php

Then wrap the current markup with this conditional: bp_is_my_profile()

same question asked by someone else hours ago (Also on front page currently)?
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-users-can-link-to-their-profile/

which is same as 4 days ago as pointed out by others – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-users-can-link-to-their-profile/

I think(?)

@darkhelmet1 – settings -> buddypress -> third tab near top is “settings”
first checkbox: Show the Toolbar for logged out users

Is it checked?

Which theme are you using?

Any other plugins installed / activated?

This question was asked 4 days ago here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-users-can-link-to-their-profile/

And some other search result you can read also, here:
https://buddypress.org/support/search/bp_get_loggedin_user_link/

Finally, question is: which menu are you talking about ? Give details please.

This is simply the way your theme displays things on the page. If you’d like a sidebar on those pages, you can modify the templates. See the Template Hierarchy article for more info.

first test with default 2014 or 2015 theme – and all other plugins disabled except bp – does it work then? If not…

previous forum posts maybe helpful –
(let us know what you find works!)

With a new bp setup I usually check these things first if email are not seeming to send or go through ->https://buddypress.org/support/topic/activation-e-mail-failing-to-send/#post-241079 (From a recent similar thread)

Better to check the basics before digging into whether it’s a email header config on the server, php settings limiting functionality – need for wp to send as smtp plugin – something just with gmail blackhole filtering –

so many different things can affect wp sending, bp sending, your web serving sending email as php, or an email service accepting something that was sent, much less put in the actual inbox instead of junk mail / promotions box or whatever…

=-=- also from danbp about 8 months ago:
When encountering a registration problem, first thing to do is to test your install without any plugins and one of WP’s Twenty default theme. Ensure that your site send correctly emails. Before activating any plugin, your base WP install must work.

Once WP is OK – you can install BuddyPress and check your permalinks. Pretty permalinks must be activated to get the plugin working correctly.

This point is important, especially if you have redirection issues after BP is activated.

Second point to check is your theme installation.

Proceeding like this will help you to isolate easely the culprit. If:
– WP install: OK
– BP install: OK
– theme activation: problem

So you know here the problem comes from.

While testing your install, you can activate wp_debug (set to TRUE) in the wp-config file. This can give you a lot of information about conflict and/or errors.

Just keep in mind that these information have 2 levels of importance: notice and warning.
While notice are generally harmless, warnings should be taken seriously in account and solved.

If WP is the problem, see first the wordPress support
If it’s BuddyPress, see the BP support
If it’s the theme, see the theme support
If it’s any other plugin, see first the plugin support.

hi @kostasbarkas30,

i even tried to copy some functions from bp default theme in my functions php theme but still nothing.

Revert back to the original install by deleting that custom work. then follow @djsteveb advice.

Keep in mind that you should never install something on WordPRess before WP is working correctly. Same thing when you add, let’s say BuddyPress. In this case, WP and BP should work flawlessly together. Once you hace the built your house, you can add the wallpaper. OMG ! Like IRL ! 😉

That way, it’s much easier to debug if an issue occurs. 1 is ok, add 2. 1 & 2 are ok. Add 3. 1 & 2 & 3 are ok, and so on.

Note also that BP-Default theme is no more maintained and is only in for backward compatibility. BuddyPress works on slightly any theme !

BP has no theme, just some templates with minimal styles. This stuff is stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/. If you need to modify some theme functions, you do it from within a child-theme, in which you copy what you want to change from bp-legacy.

All this and more, is explained on Codex. Don’t hesitate to read through it, if you’re new to BP !

We all started a day. Rome wasn’t built in one day. It’s a Long Way to Tipperary . Facebook is unique and BuddyPress is great. Hold on, it’s just the begin ! 🙂

I mean what you wrote in your first example:
function setup_globals( $args = array() ) {...}

The right way is the one indicated on codex and by @henrywright on stackexchange. (in fact, the same snippet).

The question now is, what do you want to notify to a user ? You’re testing, ok, but what’s your purpose ? We need an activity ! For example, is celebrities (in your first topic) a custom post type ?

The example on Codex tells a user he was mentionned. This is now built in BP, so it’s no more representative of how to insert a non core activity. It shows you only the way to do it, and you can’t use it by simply copy/pasting.

@kostasbarkas30 – disable all other plugins except buddypress.
might want to add another user just in case that’s an issue.
switch to 2014 theme or 2015 theme.
these “buttons” you are talking about may be tabs, or text – sometimes across the top, with the updated 2014 and 15 I think they are styled to be a side tab kind of display.

If they display on the default themes and not the one from linash – then you will need to contact them and ask why.
