Setup BuddyPress Member Types on KLEO theme

@eli225, please calm down. @sharmavishal is only trying to help you !

It’s not easy trying to help people asking questions without giving much details. It’s the case with this topic and your previous. Have you even read this before asking ?

This is not possible: Buddypress Profiles Display In Wrong Order as it is not BP but the site admin who determines this.

xprofile fields and xprofile field groups (what you call section i suppose ) are drag’n’dropable.

If despite a correct positionning in the backend, the order changed on front-end, two possibilities: the drag’n’drop was to fast or there is a js error/latentency/cookie somewhere. And this is generally due to the theme in conflict with a plugin (which could be BP).

Unfortunately, kleo is a premium theme for which you can’t expect assistance here, as we have no access to it’s code.

For the part related to BuddyPress, note that the actual version works flawlesly with the xprofile component. Nobody related a similar issue to yours recently.

So back to handcrafted annoying but very related questions:
What do you call section ?
Which type of field do you use ?

Also related to general debug work:
Have you tested with another theme ?
Have you tested without any other plugin as BP ?

sidebar.php files should be placed in the root if you are using get_sidebar('name'); Otherwise you can load them with locate_template(); This will also point to the theme root, and not the BuddyPress root which is located at your-theme/buddypress. You can go straight to BuddyPress root in your child-theme by using bp_get_template_part() You just gotta know where and when to use each one.

Have you tried wp-admin/tools/buddypress then “re-count member totals”?

If you look at wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php That’s the template you need to edit in order to change that text.

Inside wp-content/themes/your-theme/ Make a file called buddypress.php. In that file add the following…

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php the_post(); the_content(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

By default BuddyPress will use a file located in your theme that currently exists, something like page.php as you can read about here.

By creating a buddypress.php we’re telling BuddyPress to use a custom template loader for all BuddyPress pages and components. Inside that file (buddypress.php) you can do anything you like for the “wrapper” around your BuddyPress stuff. In the code example above for buddypress.php we’re grabbing the content but not bringing in things like <?php the_title(); ?> like you will find in a typical page.php that most WordPress themes will have.

This will remove ALL page titles from BuddyPress pages, as you now have a custom “wrapper” for those areas the plugin will use.

If you wish to remove the title on a per page basis you may simply want to do a CSS solution and do target the body tag with CSS and then any suitable elements in the HTML. This means you could do something like…

body.activity.directory div.page-inner h2 { display: none; }

If you don’t want to do a CSS solution you can then look into component detection.

Hope that helps.

There’s a plugin for this but might need the pro version depend on what you’re trying to achieve.

Spam is an endless discussion on the web over years. Search this forum, you’ll find many topics.

Half of my users registrations are reported by buddypress like a spam.
The question is why ? Aside, note that it is WP who controls the registration, not BuddyPress.

Do you use Askimet or some other plugin who controls your registry ?

So I think it’s sufficient? no?

Simply ? NO !

Captchas are helping to determine a human activity, but generally don’t spam users.

Many spam bots go through captcha and many other goes directly to your db. And many many, if not all, can send emails !
Spammers are even cleverer as most door keepers, it’s a sad fact and a great part of that “sport” to prove it continuously.

Here some common tasks explained to avoid spam and other unwanted content on your site. Note that one of the first thing to do is to use another table prefix as the universal knowed wp_ !

The simplest way would be to create a copy of the group widget from within your child-theme functions.php file.

By doing this you can hardcode whatever you need to the original html. Once done, you use your widget instead the original widget. Only thing you have to take care is the function name which should be unique.

And voilà.

Of course, if you are a php ninja, you can probably extend the BP_Groups_Widget class to get the same result. Many examples here.

On a default single install, all users can access their credentials via your-site/wp-admin/profile.php

From there they have access to the WP fieldss and to the extended profil fields.

From there, they can change email & password.

Admitting you closed admin access to all users, the only other way for them to modify there email and password is to use the “forgotten your password ?” at loggin stage.

All this is not really a BP thing, but how WP is working since 2003.
The 3 mandatory field (username, email and password) belonging exclusively to WP. They are showed on registration, ASIDE BuddyPress custom fields. BP doesn’t exactly handle them, it only show them. And as these fieds are WP territory and a bit sensible, they are not accessible from within frontend profile settings.

Guess the word “critical’ is a bit exagerated. Not every user change his mail or password every day. How long do you wait for a new phone number or new electricity supply ? Probably more critical things as a mail/password change !

check this @daragott …. danbp has given live examples

Not related to BuddyPress.

WordPress is a CMS.
Members are the heart of BuddyPress, which is a plugin.

Once BP is activated, your user haven’t to go to their dashboard, as anything can be done from front-end. If you need wp’s bio field, you could recreate one with xprofile.

Suggest to read the Codex to understand how BP is working.

And if it’s not enough, see this plugin (but probably only usefull if you had a wp install running with many contributors before using BP).
