BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I’m not sure I, totally, understand your inquiry but, I’ll provide some information that may be of some help. The BP Nouveau template pack provides for use of the wp_editor() function configured as TinyMCE and by default provides 7 buttons, e.g.:

• Bold
• Italic
• Bulleted list
• Numbered (ordered) list
• Blockquote
• Link
• Image

Compose and Reply makes use of the same wp_editor and due the use of various filter hooks, the number of buttons can be altered by a plugin or someone implementing custom code. Depending on the code that is external to BuddyPress, there is opportunity to make various buttons available to different users.

For the sake of simplicity, the following screenshot is a simple illustration:

As for settings within BuddyPress, there isn’t a UI available for this purpose. However, some plugins that provide additional TinyMCE buttons, may offer UI settings.

It is a standard

Buddypress already supports it (to some extent) and will be integrated further in the future

Hi,

Try reading through the following document to see if the information provides some insight:

Navigation menus

You could check if this plugin still works. It segregates BuddyPress social networks in a multi network WordPress install so that each WP network has a different social network. One for each Network.

You could also check if this plugin still works. It allows each site on an individual network have its own separate buddypress social network.

It would appear that you may even, at present*, be able to run separate (though members shared) buddypress social networks on every site in a WP Multi Network setup.

AFAIK they both still work in with WP 6.7.2, BP 14.3.3 PHP 8.3.11 MYSQL8.0.35 but you should check yourself if they still do. (i am not a developer or coder)

*The Buddypress Development Team has stated that consideration has been given by the Team to perhaps in the long term to deprecate the multiblog feature sometime in the future. This (AFAIK) would not effect the first scenario but would effect the second

### **1. Check if the Groups Directory Page Exists**
– Go to **Pages** in your WordPress dashboard.
– Look for a **Groups Directory** page. If it’s missing, create a new page and set it up as needed.

### **2. Verify Permalinks**
– Go to **Settings > Permalinks** and click **Save Changes** (without changing anything). This refreshes permalinks and can fix missing pages.

### **3. Check Theme & Plugin Compatibility**
– Temporarily switch to a default theme (e.g., **Twenty Twenty-Four**) and check if the directory appears.
– If it does, the issue might be with the **Kadence theme** or custom code.
– Disable all plugins except **SCF** and gradually enable them one by one to find conflicts.

### **4. Review Page Template Settings**
– Edit the **Groups Directory** page and check if the correct **template** is selected.
– Try switching to a **default template** if a custom one is causing issues.

### **5. Ensure Groups Feature is Enabled**
– If you’re using **BuddyPress**, go to **Settings > BuddyPress > Components** and ensure **”Groups”** is enabled.

### **6. Check for Custom Code Issues**
– If you’ve added custom code in **functions.php** or used **SCF** for custom fields, check if it’s interfering with page visibility.

Hi,

Some of the answers may have to come from the Theme developer, i.e. Re-Hub theme, for example:

1) How can I configure the user profile page? There are elements I find unnecessary for my website, and I’d like to remove them: the sharing buttons, the “write a note” option, etc.

The “sharing buttons” and “write a note” options are not standard for BuddyPress and are either introduced by your theme in use or possibly from a plugin you have actuated.

Additionally, without getting into a lot of detail, depending on the template pack in use, e.g., Legacy or Nouveau, there are an assortment of template pages that can be overloaded/overridden (requres advanced knownledge).

2) Users registered on my site can publish articles using a frontend plugin, comment, etc.
However, nothing appears in the “Activity” section: even if someone has published an article, nothing shows up. Similarly, nothing appears if they leave comments, someone replies to their comment, or tags them.
Also, what does the “Favorites” button correspond to? With the theme I’m using, users can save articles as favorites, which are then displayed on a dedicated page. Is that what it’s supposed to refer to?

As to “articles“, I’ll assume these are synonymous with “blog posts“, typically these are synced to “Activities” via BuddyPress settings (wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress) by enabling the “Site Tracking” component within the “Components” tab and enabling the “Post Comments” option under “Activity Streams” within the “Options” tab. See Post comments

As to “Favorites”, think of these as “bookmarks”, IOW, Activity items may be marked as “favorites” or unmarked as “Favorites” which will be listed within the “Favorites” tab, if marked accordingly and, yes, Favorites behave as you have indicated.

3) On the profile page, users can change their username and select a username that’s already in use (which isn’t allowed during registration). How can I fix this?

Usernames are unique and cannot be changed. In a “users” profile, the username is preceded/prefixed with the @ symbol. What may be confusing is the “Name” field which is more akin to the display name, to be more precise, it appears to be the “Display name publicly as”, which can be the same as the username or can be different from the username. What’s confusing is that there specific BuddyPress profile fields that correspond WordPress profile fields that may or may not have the same nomenclature. See Your Profile Screen – names section.

It seems like you are trying to fix something like, there can only be one user with a display name of "Alice". Rightly or wrongly, I suppose confusion abounds when a “display name” is conflated as being a “username”.

Perhaps, someone else will have a better or more precise explanation than I have provided.

go to Users – profile fields
try found message on page “BuddyPress Multilingual – have no translated fields” something like that. there is a button in the message, we press it, wait and now we can translate into string translation.
I searched for a long time and why the authors of the plugin did not include this in the instructions.

It actually appears to be a component in buddypress now apparently, so in the wordpress admin dashboard click on your installed plugins. Then under buddypress, click settings and then check friend connections and then save settings.

Also if you would like to connect with me on social media as you said before, I am trying to grow my LinkedIn profile as I’m currently looking for a job. So unless the link gets removed, it is below:
