BuddyPress.org

Most users goes to what seems them the easiest.

3 solutions:
– remove the What’s new form
– add a message above or below the form
– use a giant FORUM button ! 😉

You can use this snippet to show them a message (add it to your child-theme functions.php or to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_post_in_msg() {
	echo 'your message to users goes here';
}
add_action( 'bp_before_activity_post_form', 'bpfr_post_in_msg' ); // above what's new form
add_action( 'bp_after_activity_post_form', 'bpfr_post_in_msg' ); // below what's new form

To remove the form, use an empty post-form.php containing only the opening & closin php tags
and add it to /child-theme/activity/post-form.php

The original file is in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php

The console says that it’s trying to load this file but it’s 404:
http://dogdrill.com/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/buddypress/js/buddypress.min.js?ver=4.0.1

Ditto for this file:
http://dogdrill.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/depreciated/js/jquery-scroll-to.min.js?ver=4.0.1

Can you confirm that those files are in those locations on your server?

Sorry for the link. It’s repaired. The plugin is Buddypress Notifications Manager

Hi @theofficialseoguru,

titling a support topic with Help please – How to…. is gentle, but ouf of need on a help forum. And for sure not a waranty to get help.

As you have an understanding problem of php, and a supposed theme issue, it would be very helpfull to give its name and some details where to show the avatar.

Apparently your theme use a custom function à la WordPress to get avatars. And this should work, in theory.

Have you synced wp users with bp in bp’s settings ?
Have you tested with one of wp’s default twenty theme ?

Depending where to show a user avatar, BuddyPress use different code. You can see this on most of the template files stored in /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

On the member header for example; you have bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'type=full' );
There is also a filter: bp_get_member_avatar;
So it really depends where and how you want your avatar… In a loop, outside of a loop, etc

Ah, and when you give a topic example, don’t forget to mention the link.

Hi Style960, Yep as far as I can remember it worked! It definitely is NOT a new feature to be implemented. I don’t have much time now but I think the best thing to do is to download an old version of BuddyPress and… test it.

If it works I’ll try to make a diff and see what changed. Let’s keep in touch 🙂

Except if you want to built an expert community, BuddyPress is not appropriate. This can be done with WordPress and some CPT’s…

See if this plugin can help you ! Old but working.

If your smtp is sending mails, read this topic, may be helpfull too !

Can I do that via BuddyPress? BP is not a contest plugin, so you have to find another way to achieve this. Maybe using a plugin or create your own.

So far i know, there is this older plugin who may be do the job. No idea if it works with 2.1.1 and how, but give it a try and let hear from you.

@rohitkatke, @rathodsuraj1
sorry to answer this, but here are 25 pages of topics from people having “the same problem”.

If you don’t use X theme, if you don’t use woocommerce and if you don’t use BP 2.0.1, you have NOT the same problem as @jlent14 ! 😉

It seems to be, looks like, but most probably isn’t. And generally, jumping in others topic or old topics is not a good idea on this support forum.

To all readers

When encountering a registration problem, first thing to do is to test your install without any plugins and one of WP’s Twenty default theme. Ensure that your site send correctly emails. Before activating any plugin, your base WP install must work.

Once WP is OK – you can install BuddyPress and check your permalinks. Pretty permalinks must be activated to get the plugin working correctly.

This point is important, especially if you have redirection issues after BP is activated.

Second point to check is your theme installation.

Proceeding like this will help you to isolate easely the culprit. If:
– WP install: OK
– BP install: OK
– theme activation: problem

So you know here the problem comes from.

While testing your install, you can activate wp_debug (set to TRUE) in the wp-config file. This can give you a lot of information about conflict and/or errors.

Just keep in mind that these information have 2 levels of importance: notice and warning.
While notice are generally harmless, warnings should be taken seriously in account and solved.

If WP is the problem, see first the wordPress support
If it’s BuddyPress, see the BP support
If it’s the theme, see the theme support
If it’s any other plugin, see first the plugin support.

Thank you for you attention. 😉

Wow, I’m not the only one then!! I posted this on Trac about 10 minutes ago.

These are the BuddyPress forums.
You might want to try the bbPress forums.

@vfreefly check out http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-activity-wire-updated-buddypress-1-8-buddypress-1-9/ and read instructions plus the comments where there are additional instructions

Use this structure: [theme or child theme]/buddypress/

For example: [theme]/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

Copy this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

Have you tested this one ?

Spanish po/mo is only translated to 87% on glotpress and this phrase is actually not translated in the avaible version.

It seems you use wordpress-language plugin, who automatically upload the mo file for you and who probably overides your work.
Deactivate this plugin first, do your translation with poEdit, and add manually by FTP the po/mo files to wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_ES.mo

For more details and answers, read the longest BP topic about language:
