BuddyPress.org

You can create those page manually.
I recommend you to read attentively the install guide.

Hi @deepjain81

This isn’t currently possible. Full name may have all kinds of characters in it that will play havoc with the URL. For that reason, BuddyPress uses username and doesn’t provide a way to change it.

If you really need to go down this route, then it most probably is possible, but will need quite a lot of custom work done in order to avoid potential bugs.

@backpackersunion

No, the Devs has not made this yet it seems. I am not sure if this and/or bp menu toggle for responsive views is going to be incorporated in the next version of BP or not. Though it is high time ( or may have passed the high time) for this.

If you are interested or can convince the Devs or can submit patch you may find this thread useful – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6291#comment:7

Thanks.

Hi Shanebp

Really very grateful for this much needed plugin.
Can you kindly add two things that is present in all social net scripts like Elgg, Jomsocial, Easysocial etc for the “BuddyPress Simple Events”
1) Attending – Yes, no, maybe
2) Integration of the event form with What’s new box
Please see a demo here – it will take one second – http://easysocial.stackideas.com/

Some other quick points for your kind attention
– it works great in default Twenty-fifteen but as you know this theme is not usable for Buddypress yet – BP responsive themes like Farben-basic breaks when this plugin is activated
– Comments are not in sync – comments made to the Event in the stream do not show under the Event in main page and vice versa [ in contrast Picture album for buddypress – Buddypics by modemlooper has comment and Favorite sync], same about Favorites
– no privacy options – open, closed etc
– admin settings for this plugin should appear under Network administration – Buddypress settings and most Buddypress plugin settings happen here – but this Event plugin has its settings in the main site, not under Network administration setting
– Group Events ( I see there is a paid option, ideally it comes free or paid for both – separating like this is little bit unseen in internet)

However, without the ” Attending – Yes, no, maybe” event plugin has no meaning in the current and present day internet – please implement it

Thanks for this nifty plugin. It will help many of us.

@ch1n3s3b0y,

codex is your friend ! Read here if it helps you.

1) The default WordPress Role for all BuddyPress members is the Suscriber role. In order to allow any/some members to go to the backend to create a blog post, you need to navigate to the wp-admin menu Users > All Members and change the role of the member/s from Suscriber to either: :
– “Contributor” – cannot publish, can only submit a post for review. The Editor or Administrator can schedule the post at future date and the post automatically gets published at the scheduled date.
– “Author” – can set the publish date to future date and the post gets published at the scheduled date.

2) Not sure why you need a system as the post does get published at a future date set in the “Publish” attribute within the “Publish” box in the panel.

Guess this was used around BP 1.6 and previous. A related tread about this could be this one.

For more information, see bp-core-buddybar.php:40

Perhaps you also read a ticket. This one ?

hi @mjc82in,

BuddyPress is continuously evolving. 2 years back it was a mess trying to use CPT on SWA. That’s no more the case with BP 2.2

Maybe this example will help you. It creates a CPT called Music which will show up on the SWA where you can comment it.

Add the code to bp-custom.php

// allow tracking of our CPT
add_post_type_support( 'music', 'buddypress-activity' );

function customize_page_tracking_args() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'music', array(
        'component_id'             => 'activity',
        'action_id'                => 'new_music',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Published a new music', 'text-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Music', 'text-domain' ),
			'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
			'activity_comment'         => true,
			'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">Music</a>', 'text-domain' ),
			'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">Music</a>, on the site %3$s', 'text-domain' ),
			'position'                 => 800,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 999 );

function bpfr_create_post_type() {
  register_post_type( 'music',
    array(
      'labels' => array(
        'name' => __( 'Music', 'text-domain' ),
        'singular_name' => __( 'Music', 'text-domain' )
      ),
      'public' => true,
      'has_archive' => true,
    )
  );
}
add_action( 'init', 'bpfr_create_post_type' );

Hi @mjc82in

Go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings and select “Allow activity stream commenting”

I don’t know if there’s a good plugin for this but you can add a custom function to your bp-custom.php file that achieves the same result. You can read how to make a bp-custom.php file here in the BP Codex.

When your bp-custom.php file is ready, you add this function to the file:

<?php
function restrict_bp_pages() {
	
	global $bp;
	
	if( bp_is_blog_page() || bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() ) {
		return;
	}
	
	if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
		bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .'/YOUR-LOGIN-SLUG' );
	}	
	
}
add_action( 'get_header', 'restrict_bp_pages' );

You insert the slug of your login page in the place of YOUR-LOGIN-SLUG into the code above. E.g. if your login page is http://www.mypage.com/mylogin, your insert ‘/mylogin’. If you want to use your home page you leave out this part and only use bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain );.

Then you upload the bp-custom.php file into the /wp-content/plugins/ folder on your server, and you’re ready.

If you use a single forum aside group forums, maybe review the forum settings.

A single forum is declared as “forum”
A group forum should be declared as “category”.

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

Clear your browser cache. This happens sometimes when you register, then try to login as new user during the same session. Can also be due to theme or plugin settings.

You can also read some older topics about this:
https://buddypress.org/support/search/Invalid+activation+key/

Any ideas on what may have caused this ?

That question was answered here.

It’s the user who did it wrong, so guess there is no technical solution.

The “from” wordpress@mysite.com is a default address which redirect to site admin address (the one you indicate when you setup WP).

This can (and should be) changed, as its a common trick used by spammers. Read here how to do this.

Hi and welcome,

but unfortunatly you’re on the buddyPress forum here.

For bbPress related questions, go here.

Anything related to messages and notifications is stored in bp-notifications and bp-messages folders.

Style is handled in /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css

More on Codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_notifications_add_notification/

Version 9 and 6 are slightly different and Customizr doesn’t show a complete BP title when you use the latest patch (9). For example, you’ll see just the site name on single activities.

Applying the first one made by imath will probably be the best solution in your situation. I won’t critizise Customizr, but personnally i won’t use it with BuddyPress. Because of this issue, and some others, handled on that theme support. 951,457 downloads maybe say it’s a popular theme, but 245 support pages in one year is something that get me a bit suspicious in term of usage.

There is no miraculous method to apply a patch, and no special tips for that except if you don’t know how to copy/paste code, which i can’t belive is the case 😉

So Codex is your friend to discover some other academic methods like using Tortoise.

Not sure that Customizr is now working 100% with BP (1 year back it wasn’t compatible with BP).

Anyway, issue is related to the theme. FYI, 2015 also doesn’t show up page titles…

To solve this temporarely (until next update), you can apply this patch
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107

I tested v.6107.06 with Customizr and it works !
