BuddyPress.org

Try storing the role selected when registering in user_meta.
Then use that data to actually set the role via this hook bp_core_activated_user
in this file: \buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-functions.php

You can hide it.
Add this to your child-theme style.css

#buddypress div#subnav.item-list-tabs ul li.feed {display: none;}

Basically the same answer, but in the codex.

Hi @ashvin03

Nowhere in your function do you tell BuddyPress to change the user’s role to subscriber, therefore the problem must be coming from elsewhere. Try disabling all plugins and activating the Twenty Fifteen theme to see if the issues resolves.

Try this:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/125754/buddypress-conditionally-filter-directory-based-on-xprofile-field

Not tested recently, may not work with upcoming 2.2

doesn’t currently exist in buddypress.

@dio1987
try the rtmedia plugin ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/ ) or the newer and upcoming media press : http://buddydev.com/buddypress/presenting-mediapress-media-plugin-will-ever-need-buddypress/

These may do what you are asking about if I understand your question.

i am trying to find how (if) BP is doing validation
using BP 2.1.1

Hi @ar2015

Leaving validation to chance isn’t something that BuddyPress does, so you can be sure that it will strive to validate everything that’s necessary. For example, the user’s username and email address are validated by bp_core_validate_user_signup() and the blog URL and title are validated in bp_core_validate_blog_signup()

Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

The template hiearchy advanced template names are correct and will overload any theme compat files as long as they are located in correct directories, and by the sound of things you have established this on a stock WP theme ( always remember that with template names such as index-create.php we are saying take full control of the template rendering bypassing BP’s content injection so the template needs to be a full WP template i.e one complete with header call and footer call and all necesary content inbetween)

Things that can force deactivate theme compatibility are:

 * Theme compat is disabled when a theme meets one of the following criteria:
 * 1) It declares BP support with add_theme_support( 'buddypress' )
 * 2) It is bp-default, or a child theme of bp-default
 * 3) A legacy template is found at members/members-loop.php. This is a
 *    fallback check for themes that were derived from bp-default, and have
 *    not been updated for BP 1.7+; we make the assumption that any theme in
 *    this category will have the members-loop.php template, and so use its
 *    presence as an indicator that theme compatibility is not required

Pay special attention to the possibility of members-loop.php existing from previous implementation of this custom theme in the themes root i.e members/members-loop.php

And check through any functions files for inclusion of :
add_theme_support( 'buddypress' )

Both or either of these will deactivate theme compatibility and likely result in navigating to /groups/ simply displaying a plain stock WP page.php view.

I read that the BP default theme has been retired and should not show up under Appearance > Themes unless it’s still in use.

That’s not quite true. If you can remember where you read it, please let me know, and I’ll see about correcting the information.

If you had a BuddyPress site prior to version 2.0, then we will always make BP-Default available in the themes list. If you were to install BuddyPress today on a new site that did not have BuddyPress installed before, then it would not show up. I hope that makes sense.

(I’m not sure if we started this behaviour in version 1.9 or 2.0, but it was around then).

Edit page in theme\buddypress\groups\home.php

I tried to delete actiavion_key for them in wp_usermeta, but they still appear as unactivated.

Deleting the activation key alone through the database won’t activate a user. There are more tasks that need to be done in order for a user to become activated. See the bp_core_activate_signup() function in bp-members-functions.php for details on how BuddyPress does it.

Buddypress is a fine product, but needs an import/export feature built in, this is seriously missing. I need to do a fresh wp install and move the users and custom field data over. Please has anyone come across a relatively easy enough way of doing this? Or when will Buddypress include this?

Thanks

maybe try to create a new page (not a post!) – in the dashboard – call it “register-new” and another page (not a post!) called “activate-me”

then associate those pages in the buddypress config area ( https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/#settings-buddypress-pages )

not sure if that will fix your issue, I have not seen that one.. except when permalinks needed to be resaved due to an error that another plugin created. (had to disable the other bad plugin too)

@nfljets2002
Have you created a new page (not a post) called register?

have you associated that page in the BP settings as described here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/

??

@marisams – disable ALL plugins, switch back to default theme like 2014.. reenable buddypress.. does it work?

Also check to see if you have anything in wp-content/mu-plugins/ or anything in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

@mrgoldfinder23
have you disabled all your other plugins to see if there is a conflict with plugins first?

Have you tried it with default 2014 theme to see if the issue is with just one theme or also defaults?

I just posted a little more detail on the same issue on the other thread similar (started by @griswolddad) here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/profile-pics/#post-233045

@griswolddad – disable all plugins except buddypress. Then go look around your site and see if you can find the ability to upload avatar. I find this fastest by hovering over the top right admin bar (when logged in already) (howdy admin_ – click edit profile.. then “change profile picture” is in the profile area..

If that works, then you know it is one of your plugins that you disabled causing a problem… so reactive them one by one until you find the problem pops up again..

if that doesn’t work – then it’s likely a theme issue..
