BuddyPress.org

So you enabled the Extended Profiles component in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress.
And now, on the front end, the Profile menu item does not work ?

Have you checked your error logs?

Have you tried switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2015 to see if the issue is in your preferred theme?

If you consider all your users to have the same ability to publish, you can simply setup WP’s default role from subscriber to author. You don’t need a plugin to do that. To allow categories, search on WP codex, as this has nothing to do with the fact you use BuddyPress.

For customizing the Howdy menu item, use this custom snipet or take one of the existing plugin to do that.

BuddyPress’s toolbar menu works like any other toolbar sub-menu item.

See WP codex for details

How to hide / remove the General tab under Settings

You can create a job listing here.

If you do, you may want to include answers to the questions that danbp asked above.

OK, so fresh over-install (copying overtop of running site) of 4.7 and as soon as I turn on buddypress, I loose the admin completely. Take it out of the folder via ftp, then I get admin back. Thoughts.
New godaddy hosting account
Wordpress 4.7
current BuddyPress.

1. Yes

2. You mean WP posts ? Yes, if you give them permissions.

3. They can ‘friend’ each other. There is a plugin re ‘Follow’.

4. Probably – but you’ll need to customize the Follow plugin.

You should install BP on a test site and start trying different settings and additional plugins.
After you have done that, you can ask more specific questions here.

BuddyPress display members, but those members are referenced in WordPress. No idea to share about what you want to do, but have you searched on the plugin repo ?

Activity is the default tab when you are on a profile. If you want to remove it, you must first define a new default landing tab.

Details in this topic.

Just in case of, bp-custom.php file doesn’t need a CLOSING php tag.

You can use the same technique as the one given on your other topic.
Search the forum for examples or read on codex how to conditionally display a template.

@baramagnus,

official requirements for WP (hosters) are given here. Minimum php version for WP is 5.2.4, while most used php version is 5.6
More WP stats here.

BuddyPress users use all 5.3 and above (as of preliminary 2016 survey results).
This means that if you use 5.6, you’re anyway fine.
And about WP and BP compatibility, you can read here.

Hi @pimous,

if you mean the Update form (wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypres/activity/post-form.php), you just have to add a conditionnal into the template file, from within your child-theme.
Something like

if ( is_super_admin ) {
   // if user is admin, show him the form, otherwide, do nothing
   bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );
}

Hi @mohamedalikortli,

thank you for the sharing, but I am afraid that your proposal is not acceptable in regard of coding best practice. I let your snippet in place, but i also warn all readers to use it, unless they know what they do.

This forum is public and most users coming here for help are querying at first for BuddyPress related issues solution, not third party plugin tricks like the one you share here. The majority is also not very comfortable with php or even site development.
This aspect is one of the main reason to provide usefull and safe code.
IT IS NOT THE CASE HERE – and i wouldn’t recommand it.

Not because it doesn’t or wouldn’t work ( and i haven’t tested it), but because it is not correctly written. Allowing such a snippet is like encouraging (and by the way perpetuating) bad practices. Hopefully you understand and agree that we don’t want this on the BuddyPress support forum.

@sbrajesh ‘s BuddyPress Clear Notification plugin was last updated in march 2016, which is pretty recent. I doubt that the bug is in his plugin and i expect more a menu related issue… but this is only an expectation of mine.

If you estimate that your workaround is helpfull for that plugin, get in touch with Brajesh or publish it on the plugin support.

By the way, next time you publish code on this form, use the code button available on the editor toolbar to insert it properly.

FYI about what you did wrong or not properly:
– hacking a core file. Notification template should be used, but from inside a child-theme, not directly from bp-legacy).
– comments should be in english (some in your example are in french)
– your recommendation is against all WP usage:

copy this script into ur document root where u have installed ur wordpress

– you can add custom code via bp-custom.php. There is also no need to go to wp root, when you can do the same thing from within your child-theme.
– why do you recall jquery ? It is already loaded when you run BP…
– i’m not a developer, but i’m pretty sure there are other things to mention about coding.

In regard of the script itself, BP provide much simplier way to delete notification or show a delete button: reference.
You’re also using french in that script.

Calling a file “test” is ok, but in that case you should provide some explanation on how to finally use your snippet. As already said, not everybody here is able to understand – and use raw code – when you provide a workaround. Providing code is fine, providing code+tutorial is always better.

Désolé d’être sévère et rien de personnel, mais juste une mise au point nécessaire.
