BuddyPress.org

@wealthy – I don’t think you need buddypress for this. I believe you could easily achieve those goals setting up and wordpress install, turn on multi-site (aka wordpress mu setting) – add in one of the many membership type plugins like s2member.. then add in a commerce plugin like marketpress or woo-commerce, something like that.

Make it so all sub “blogs” aka “sites” are locked out from visibility unless logged in, your “logged in state” is determined by the s2member or similar plugin…

might take a look at press permit core for restricting content.. there are others.. but in essence I think there is no need to add buddypress to the mix. Only thing that would do it open up profiles and friends – but then you’d have much more difficulty locking down member profile viewing and groups viewing and stuff like that, which is not so easy to deal with at the moment.

@rollercoasterider – are you still doing this with a default theme like 2014 or something similar?
Have you tried it with ALL plugins disabled except buddypress?

(some hosts do include a wp-cahe type plugin, that is enabled by default, that drove me crazy with a similar issue a couple years ago – lol)

@quinngoldwin – bp profiles already already come with a “friends” tab – which would do essentially what you are describing if the others have a profile in the system and they have accepted as friends. Then everything you are asking is already done with a default install.

If others are not in the system, I guess they could upload a buddypress docs file with a list or something.

Your best bet is probably to look at this from the s2member side.
There is lots of info available, such as

s2Member + BuddyPress

I have not used it for anything like that, but s2member works with BuddyPress, allows you to restrict content, and supports dripping content:

Home

It is possible that it might work out for you. There is a free version that is likely sufficient.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

It integrates with WP Courseware, if that is what you are using for your courses.

Good luck. Have fun.

Is there a way to connect my lessons to BuddyPRess?

Probably, but there are too variables in your questions:
– what does ‘connect’ my lessons mean?
– what is a gamification plugin?
– how are you dripping?

btw – Those questions are rhetorical.

Unless somebody here has the same theme / plugin setup as you ( doubtful ), your chances of getting answers are slim to none.

Unless you are a developer, you’ll probably need to hire one to create the experience you desire.
And it sounds like a fairly large job.

Google: buddypress hide admin from members list

I still have the problem reported here with the last buddypress version 2.3.2.1.

If I download the profile photo from my buddypress instance (150x150px) and than re-upload it to buddypress, resize it the the fullsize the following error message will be displayed:

“There was a problem with cropping the profile photo.”

they sound as helpful as a chocolate watch at buddyboss.

I dont use/like their plugins so can not help on that, but there is a very good plugin called “BuddyPress Like” which is brilliant and easy to use.

@rollercoasterider – so you created a new “page” and that page’s title is “Home”
maybe you created a second “page” and called tha “blog”
You went to: Settings -> reading and selected static front page to show the “page” Home ?
Perhaps blog to the “blog” page)

I assume you did the confige bp pages thing ( https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/ )

maybe assigning ( https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/ )

and you are using a default theme like 2014 ?

and when you click on members it goes to home?

Is this the same with all the other plugins deactivated?

Set your permalinks to pretty urls?

re check all your settings, permalinks and htaccess

You may have a redirect problem because you installed WP/BP in /voyages/ directory

This article helped me solve a similar issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19976038/buddypress-registration-page-is-not-working

I don’t know if this is any indication of the issue but no pages were generated during the installation of the plugin, I had to set them all up manually.

The answer is in your first topic:
I have deleted the original copy of BuddyPress from my site and the associated pages.

If you haven’t removed BP from DB, via plugins dashboard > delete before reuploading a new copy it’s normal that you have to recreate the pages manually.

The adventure starts here:

Installation in WordPress Multisite

Most of the time BP will use page.php since that template file exists in the majority of WordPress themes. However, if you wanted to style BuddyPress pages differently than a regular WordPress page, you could add a template file named buddypress.php to your theme’s directory and BP would use that template instead since that file is ahead of page.php in the hierarchy above.

That’s a recent function i didn’t know ! It’s filtrable, so you haven’t to hack that core file.

See also in same file member_can_edit function, related to bp_moderate capability, used for group admins, but i doubt you can apply it to “editor”…

FYI: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bp_moderate-capability/

Additionnally, see this snippet written for WP only, if you can combine something:

Let Editor Manage Users in WordPress

I’ve already tested all this, but i got the same result as you. But i’m not a dev. 🙂

Good luck !

This is actually not possible. Is a work on progress: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5121

hi @billmann,

to remove only last activity date from profile header:

function bpfr_core_get_last_activity( $last_activity_date ) {
   if ( empty( $last_activity_date ) )
      // we do nothing
         $last_active = '';
   else
   $last_active = sprintf( $string, bp_core_time_since( $last_activity_date ) );
 }
add_filter( 'bp_core_get_last_activity', 'bpfr_core_get_last_activity' );

To remove all last active instance (profile, group & member directory,…), you simply remove the filter

function bpfr_remove_last_activity_filter() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_core_get_last_activity', $last_active, $last_activity_date, $string );
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_get_last_activity', 'bpfr_remove_last_activity_filter' );

Add to your child-theme functions.php or to bp-custom.php

bp_core_get_last_activity function is in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php:1418

Note that site wide activity is not affected by these functions.
