Hello
Is it possible with BuddyPress to let people find each other of qualifications? Let’s say that people can assess where they are in a scale from 1 to 10 example i 4 different categories – And then they fint the other people that have the same qualifications as themself.
I’m currently having trouble in posting anything after having installed Buddypress in a sub-domain. One cant see the text area nor the post message tab. But it works perfectly when installed in the main directory.Problem is that the client desires that there is a separation between the “website par”t, and the “buddypress part”. Is there any setting that I’m missing or do we have to get a separate domain for buddypress? I’m using WordPress v.4.6.1
Thanks in advance.
Samuel.

Ah, just found out that this plugin causes a conflict with BuddyPress Group Extras, so avoid it, by the looks of things it’s unlikely to get fixed anytime soon.
Yes it’s different and ?
And this is how to use what i already suggested
function users_last_activity() {
$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
//$activity = bp_get_user_last_activity( $user_id ); // raw date/time
$activity = bp_core_get_last_activity( bp_get_user_last_activity( $user_id ), __('active %s', 'buddypress') ); // ago format like on members directory
if( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
echo $activity;
}
}
// testing the result on profile header
add_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta', 'users_last_activity' );

Dear Buddypress,
I have followed the instructions given in this link https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/buddypress-cover-images/, in order to allow the members to upload cover image.I can see the change cover image link and the following texts, but does not see the upload button.
“<Change Cover Image
Your Cover Image will be used to customize the header of your profile.”
So far, I have done the followings:
1. registered the cover image in the functions.php file.
2. updated the members/single/home.php and members/single/profile.php files.
3. Made sure “cover image upload” option is enabled in the buddypress settings.
Can you please let me know what else I need to do to show up the cover image upload button?
Thank you.
Clients requiring many things ! Some can be done, some not. It’s to you to explain them that it’s not possible. Or only with a very huge additionnal budget. This argument is mostly the best to opposite to an obtuse “i want this feature”. Diplomacy, diplomacy… 👿
1) You count the number of avatars on the widget ! Or something like this. 😉
2) who’s online refreshes after 5 mn. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3590
3) try with bp_get_user_last_activity()
Also wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-members\classes\class-bp-core-whos-online-widget.php
If I leave the registration and activation pages blank I get a warning all the time in the backend.
The warning won’t cause harm but I agree you should be able to dismiss it. You could open a ticket on Trac for the core developers to take a look at?

I have done code from this and add few js for saving data form tinymce on change event it will save to textarea.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/add-tinymce-to-activity-post-form/
Now what i need is i want to store those inline css code ex. style =”color:#02251″ inside every html tag.
But what’s new activity not storing or showing in frontend after saving data…
Hi @dphelun,
– 1) no idea ! It depends of what you know about WP and BP, coding and templating
– 2) see 1…
– 3) in theorie yes. In real life… check the forum… and point 1.
Don’t buy a theme before you tested your project with all plugins and fonctionalities correctly working on a WP+BP default install. Use one of WP’s default theme, ie. Twenty Sixteen or Fifteen. Or even all coming with WP
This tests should be done on a test site (locally or online, but not on a production site)
Default install, because it’s the only waranty for you and the project to work properly in a respecfull environment of WP standarts. Once ok you can jump to a premium theme if you estimate it is worth. That said many free themes are just ideal too.
I would just warn you to avoid frameworks and page builders- specially because BP doesn’t use WP pages like WP does. Focus on the theme itself, and not on plethoric theme functionnalities. Theme is for layout. Plugin is for functionnality.
About Themes
you will find a lot of themes on the net. Most with nice pictures and impressive list of functionnalities and prices. Problem is that this marketing arguments rarely fit with a project. And if you’re unable to customize it, you go towards weird issues and will be lost in no time.
About plugins
Like for themes and of course your technical level.
From what you tell, i would consider WP Job Manager and his (premium) add-on for BuddyPress.
Messaging is included in BuddyPress, even if it is not exactly meant as instant messaging.
But test the message component first as is before going further. And keep in mind that less is more.
Hi pressers , accept my apologies if this has been discussed already .
I am about buying a premium buddypress theme, and i have a few questions i will appreciate if someone out there points me to the right direction .
My target is to have buddypress plugin installed with a few target users. Also i plan to add a “Job Board” plugin and possibly an instant messenger plugin to the same theme.Not very sure how this is going to play out . Anyway
1. Can I do this ?
2. What is the disadvantages with such setup ?
3. Will buddypress happily integrate with other theme as mentioned above ?
Please any sincere response will be useful and appreciated .
Warmest Regards
dphelun
– I know nothing about Loco translate as i never used it. And i can’t read chinese, so i can’t help you with this specific translation.
– I never seen a error 500 after modifying a translation.
– The only thing i’m sure (because of the error messages) is that it is Loco who doesn’t find a file or can’t access to it properly.
– Re-check Loco Settings and try another path option… Or maybe use a custom path called MyTranslation and use the plugin only to translate. Once done, deactivate Loco and move the mo file manually to the right folder. By doing this you eliminate the eventual plugin issue and still have a mo file you can use (hopefully).
– Ensure your BP’s po/mo files have correct file extension and use the correct path to file:
/wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-zh_CN.mo & buddypress-zh_CN.po
Personnaly, i use poEdit and only on my computer and never directly on a site.
Hi danbp,
I actually googled it but didn’t find except wp-useronline it does the same functionalities but sometimes it shows wrong url and also it tracks users by their ip not the username.
Please suggest something like this as buddypress has already who’s online widget which is good but if it can also show the browsing page it would be good.
Thanks,
Thanks for you reply.
Sorry, it is my typo………… my problem is with buddypress translation instead of bbpress.
I have contacted with the loco team, but they asked me to contact buddypress, as the the problem is only with the buddypress po.mo that I download from https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress
could you please help me?
Hi,
you are on the BuddyPress support.
bbpress questions should be asked on bbpress support.
And as you use Loco Translate plugin, and apparently have an issue with it, you have to ask on the LT plugin support.
To get more about chinese translation, help and much more, please read the Polyglots blog.
Hi,
all you have to do is to use a custom translation for BuddyPress !
This can be done with help of this plugin.
Actually, WP uploads automatically all available translation for itself and any of his dependencies: themes and plugins(when exist) accordingly to the site language. Ie. brazilian portugue (pt_BR.mo)
In your case, while using the plugin, WP will remain in portuguese and as you will use buddypress-en_US.mo or buddypress_en_GB.mo as custom translation, anything related to BP will be in english.
Of course, this behave will always be used even AFTER an update of WP or BP and both updated to portuguese.
The avantage of the plugin is that you haven’t to struggle with complicated domain settings and hacks, because he does it for you by using a different path for any custom translation (in your case, BP’s english version). The file is stored in /uploads/wpt-custom-mo-file/buddypress-what_EVER.mo
You simply need to remember to download manually the english BP version.
Translation files can be downloaded here.
Hope to be clear. 😉
Hi there. Let me explain my issue.
I run an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) school in Brazil. Our native language is Portuguese and my website in WordPress is in Portuguese (since it’s being made for possible clients/students here in Brazil – I can’t have things on the website like “Search”). I use WPLMS, which uses BuddyPress as part of its Learning Management System. Since the LMS is for students that are learning English, I need BuddyPress to be in English, however I couldn’t find anywhere how to change BuddyPress language.
I need my WordPress website to be in Portuguese and BuddyPress to be in English.
Help?
I just took those steps to translate bbpress, but encouter internal server error(only with bbpress)
1. download the chinese translation file from buddypress: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress (.mp /.po)
2. add those two file into wp-content/language/plugin and rename it
3. the translation works fine
4. but when I use loco translation plugin to edit some text in translation plugin, sync and save , it shows ” Internal Server Error</span>” shows again.
here is the php log: [29-Sep-2016 07:48:55 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Method Loco_gettext_Data::__toString() must not throw an exception, caught Exception: Truncation error in vhosts/bpteach_dev/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 0

Hi Earl,
Two things you can do:
- Hide admin user from members list. This post has some answers:- https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-admin-from-members-and-activity/
- Change the user_nicename field in users table in database, for the admin user.
I suggest going with the first option.
I have a client that is concerned about risque content appearing on the BuddyPress area of the site (due to the nature of his business). So we are considering either using a separate site or a subdomain to install BuddyPress.
I’m concerned about what types of challenges I might face that I cannot predict right now. For example, integrating widgets that displays BP content on the main site.
Is installing BP on another domain or a subdomain and integrating it with the main site a simple thing to do? Can anyone think of possible problems?
I just have a sense that some features/processes might not be available on this type of install that might be available by just installing on the main site.
I have this combination of plugins working on one of my website, it works just fine. in terms of registration, I set buddypress registration page to none and created some custom registration pages for PMP.
As it is working, you can’t expect a fix. 😉 (see #6112) If you think you have found a bug, open a ticket and give any details to recreate the issue: theme name, used plugins, php version.
Have you tried to create an error ? When you’re sure that a notice should appear, and you don’t see it, check first the source of the page (right clik – page source). Sometimes you’ll find it in the code but something avoid it to appear on the screen.
Hi,
I am using WP 4.6.1 in a network site, directory install using a Divi child theme. I have BuddyPress 2.6.2 with BuddyBlock, BuddyPress Cover Photo, BuddyPress Group Email Subscription and BuddyPress Group Tags. No bbPress.
I would like to make all posts and comments in a group visible to anyone who joins the group. At the moment group members can only see the posts and comments of their friends.
This implies that if a new member wants to see all the activity in a group, they have to send friend requests to everyone in the group.
I believe this should be done in bp-custom.php with code something like the following. I don’t know if I should be using the ‘has_groups’ or ‘has_activites’ loop or some other loop. I confirmed that bp_is_group_single does target the page in question because I could change the per_page entries successfully.
Thanks for any suggestions,
David Tuttle
