BuddyPress.org

How do I add a new member to buddypress from the backend of WP?
They are the forum moderators and group admins.
So, how do I “activate” them?

What should be understood from your questions ?

Adding a new user from backend and/or promote it as mod or group admin ?
Adding a new user is not related to BuddyPress, but to WordPress.

To promote users as mod or admin or add new user to a group from back-end
dashboard > groups > select the group > edit > anything to do that is at the bottom of the screen.

If they are known to you then you can set them up in the way that you suggested, if you choose not to send them and email, that will prevent the activation mail going out and they will be free to login, you will have to tell them their password though.

To those that have not activated their accounts you can view them in the Dashboard>>Users>>All Users views, their one view called Pending, it’s in here you will find unactivated users.

You could always turn registration on, for them, let them see a new users view of getting set up on the site.

I’m trying to put together a guide to setting up social networks with BuddyPress, you might like to give it a look, it’s here: It’s spread over multiple chapters that you can access via the “Installing BuddyPress” menu.

It’s nothing official, just information on what I’ve discovered over the past couple of years so it’s pretty current.

Because pages are not user related items ?

Members Directory page is in the Pages section of the menu customizer. If you want link to it you take it from there.
The BuddyPress section contains dynamic items for logged-in or logged-out user.

Check from here(experimental – uncomplete) or here(stable – complete)

@Scaffies (@jenfilgate i’m going to ASSUME you have EXACTLY the same issue, otherwise you should make your own forum topic)

You said:

type “Subscriber” / “Participant” can no longer upload new profile pictures, or pictures, video, or audio to their personal galleries

BuddyPress doesn’t have “personal galleries” built-in. We only support uploading media for group and member profile pictures, and cover images for those. You’ll need to contact the author of the plugin(s) used to provide your personal galleries, we can’t support other plugins. Sorry.

I have the same problem too. The problem is occured in class-bp-members-admin.php

if ( isset( $user->user_status ) && 2 == $user->user_status ) {
    $last_active = $user->user_registered;

// Account is activated, getting user's last activity.
} else {
    $last_active = bp_get_user_last_activity( $user->ID );   //<-- ruturn empty string if not active before.
}

$datef = __( 'M j, Y @ G:i', 'buddypress' );
$date  = date_i18n( $datef, strtotime( $last_active ) );  //<--return current time if $last_active = ''

I have a fix and put it in functions.php

function filter_bp_get_user_last_activity( $activity, $user_id ) { 	
	if($activity==''){
              add_filter( 'date_i18n', function( $j ) { return ' -'; } );
	}
    return $activity; 
}; 
add_filter( 'bp_get_user_last_activity', 'filter_bp_get_user_last_activity', 10, 2 );

Hope it helps.

Which option in particular are you looking for?

You should see these:

Profile Settings

Profile Photo Uploads Allow registered members to upload avatars
Cover Image Uploads Allow registered members to upload cover images
Profile Syncing Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing

Groups Settings

Group Creation Enable group creation for all users
Administrators can always create groups, regardless of this setting.
Group Photo Uploads Allow customizable avatars for groups
Group Cover Image Uploads Allow customizable cover images for groups

Yep I’ve been playing with it myself tonight, I found that you can also personalise those BuddyPress pages that are static and have a WordPress page such as Members or Groups.

It’s a shame it only does half the job and I’m not sure the Pro version does all of the other half, it does Groups, which I think is a big thing – to have each group sidebar as unique as the group is a nice idea. But there are other pages I’m not sure even the pro version covers.

I might be wrong though so I’m planning on testing it.

It’s the “BuddyPress Members” option, down the bottom of the list. To my knowledge this is the only plugin that does this so far, I’m hopeful that woosliders can incorporate BuddyPress at some stage.

I did the tests you recommended and it was my W3 Total Cache plugin that was causing the issue. I will have to look into that to figure out what setting was messing it up. @Scaffies doesn’t have that plugin, so guess our issues were caused by different things.

@jenfilgate,

are you sure ? If so, please read here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

Hi,

as BuddyPress doesn’t use a post tab, you might ask this on the plugin support who use that feature.

I could maybe help out! I estimate that it would cost ~$100-200. I specialize in WordPress plugin extensions, you can check my website out at http://coffeywebdev.com!

I’ve been pretty busy lately, but I found a potential solution on these forums:

I’d be happy to help you make these adjustments, you can direct message me about cost/timeline/etc.

In members-loop.php use this

<?php 
if ( bp_has_members(bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’).’&type=alphabetical’) ) : 
?>
