BuddyPress.org

1. In BuddyPress, we by default get to see member page. I want to know how to redirect someone who is logging in/ new user after registration to News feed?

search for login redirect plugins for buddypress

2. I want to keep those wall, timeline and all in menu bar instead of profile tab. How to do that?

check wp admin bar codex or associated plugins

3. I am unable to hide admin bar/ that WordPress logo bar for non-admin user. no plugin helping me out.

am aware of atleast 2 plugins which are working for me. u need to test/check which ones work with ur theme/setup

4. how to make the menu such that signed in user can see log out button and other sign in/ register?

via buddypress components in the menus. logged in and logged out menu links

5. how to enable realtime notification and instant messaging private n groups both?

notification is already there and its real time. i belive there is a group chat plugin for buddypress as well

6. how to remove show dropdown menu in profile

that would depend on ur theme which u are using

PS:- I don’t know PHP much. moreover, I cannot afford to hire someone.

then this would take much time and effort to customise it as per ur needs

start from here

Configure BuddyPress

regrets that wont be possible check this

Configure BuddyPress

i am assuming u activated the activity component and there are some actual activities happening on ur site? and does ur theme support buddypress?

install this https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-cover-photo/

or this https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-cover/

Sure. Use WordPress in multisite mode (alongside a domain mapping plugin), and then activate BuddyPress network-wide.

I just tested an nginx install and BuddyPress works for me.

I would say check your nginx conf file:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Nginx

But if you say this problem only occurred when you upgraded BuddyPress, then it could be a plugin issue.

What plugins are you using?

not_friends are in fact members. Are you sure you want to built this, as such widget already exist ! Ok, has no Add Friend button…

BuddyPress Widgets

Another solution would be to use a shortcode who will fire a kind of Members widget and the add friend button. Huh ? 🙂

Add this snippet to bp-custom.php

function show_our_members( $atts ) {
$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();  

/**
 * Options
 * type:active, newest, popular, online, alphabetical, random)
 * number:number of items
 * size:size of avatar in px
*/

	$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
		'type' => 'newest',
		'number' => '10',		
		'size' => '30'
	), $atts, 'ourmembers' );
 
if ( bp_has_members( 'type='.$atts['type'].'&max='.$atts['number'] ) ) :    

	while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>  

		<ul><li class="vcard">
			<div class="item-avatar">
				<a>"><?php bp_member_avatar(); ?></a>
			</div>

			<div class="item">
				<div class="item-title fn"><a>" title="<?php bp_member_name(); ?>"><?php bp_member_name(); ?></a></div>				
				<div class="item-meta"><?php bp_add_friend_button( $user_id ); ?></div>			
			</div>
		</li></ul>
<?php    
endwhile;
endif;
}
add_shortcode( 'ourmembers', 'show_our_members' );

The shortcode to use (in post, pages, widgets…), eg. [ourmembers size=20 type=newest number=8]

The only thing you have to do, is to style it accordingly to your theme layout.
Note that the classes are those used in BP’s Members widget. You can use them or add your own.

@m1000 – Nice catch!

We’ll address this for v2.6.1. In the meantime, here’s the fix:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7141/7141.01.patch

I finally asked Boone for help.

bbp_buddypress_loaded fires before everything is, in fact, fully loaded. bbPress’s component-specific extensions aren’t loaded until bp_init:7 (ty @boonebgorges for this explanation).

Changing add_action to bp_init with a priority of 8 did the job !

This may work for Site Activities, Members and Group activities

function bpfr_remove_activity_dropdown_label() {
   // Remove forum filters in site wide activity streams
   remove_action( 'bp_activity_filter_options',        array( bbpress()->extend->buddypress->activity , 'activity_filter_options'   ), 10    );

   // Remove forum filters in single member activity streams
   remove_action( 'bp_member_activity_filter_options', array( bbpress()->extend->buddypress->activity , 'activity_filter_options'   ), 10   ); 

   // Remove forum filters in single group activity streams
   remove_action( 'bp_group_activity_filter_options',  array( bbpress()->extend->buddypress->activity , 'activity_filter_options'   ), 10   );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'bpfr_remove_activity_dropdown_label', 8 );

Works also by using bp_actions hook.

Thanks for pointing the issue on our BuddyPress Cover Photo plugin. The update will be available in a few minutes.

Cheers

I don’t think this is related to BuddyPress, but rather your WordPress theme.
