BuddyPress.org

Unless you are specifically use the BP default theme, BP will use the files in
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\

Are you sure that your theme or child-theme is not overloading those files?

I’m still new to buddypress. I’m wondering if this thread might be close to what I need. I don’t want to get any new user notifications sent to me (my admin email address). The notification I get shows the new user’s email address. I want email addresses to be private and drop into some kind of database that I can later use to send newsletters to. Anyway to fix that?

Thanks

The function works on a test site when I go to home_url() . '/groups/'

You may need to put it in bp-custom.php.

Hey @chatty24, thanks. Buddypress actually added this functionality to the latest update (activity mentions) but It would be great to have a more convenient bbpress forums mentioning system.

Hi

This might help you – Buddypress Activity Comment Notifier

But I don’t understand how BuddyPress understand that

It does because it’s written to understand that. WP knows what type of theme is in operation, a main parent ‘ template’ or a theme acknowledging another theme as the template source thus labelling it a child theme; WP provides that information to anything that cares to ask. BP performs a series of simple checks, it looks to see what type of theme in operatio, it checks various hardcoded directory names to see if they exist either in a parent theme or in a child theme and if they contain BP template files, if they exist and do have BP templates then those are used in preference to the original BP ones. It’s not that complex a process but you do need to understand the basic principles of template hierarchy which is a WP construct.

You can only ever have two themes max a parent and one containing ‘some’ copied files or additional files coded. WP always loads the child theme up checks anything in functions.php then looks at the parent theme and loads that themes templates and functions.php unless it has found a necessary template already in the child.

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Better a child theme and to start, read here first:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

and once you understood how it works, you can read again
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

and search on the forum for topics related to theme. 😉

Sure you can change that link as well as content of confirmation email by adding the following code in you function.php;

add_filter( 'bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message', 'custom_buddypress_activation_message', 10, 3 );
 

function custom_buddypress_activation_message( $message, $user_id, $activate_url ) {
    $user = get_userdata( $user_id );
    $activate_url = 'http://www.domain.de'; // change this link to what ever you want.
    return "Hi $user->user_login,
Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of your account please click the following link:
$activate_url 
Thanks,
Jesin";
}

Try deactivating all plugins and then check if this issue still continues.

Explanation:
Mostly it happens if some plugin is interfering in registration process because the way BuddyPress registers a user is a bit different then what happens in WordPress by default for which usually plugins are designed.

I created a new thread. Sorry to hijack/resurrect this thread.

Where are you running your code?
Try it in a plugin or in bp-custom.php

Try this code.

Create a template overload of one or more of the files found here:
\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\

1. No need to create register.php, just copy this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php
into your theme/ child theme using this approach.

Then adjust it accordingly.
You don’t say whether ‘location’ is a required field – that will affect where in the file you make your adjustments.

Will the values for ‘location’ change very often?
If not, you can use code to create both the field and all the values, so you don’t have to manually enter all the values.
And won’t have to overload register.php
Example

it depends for some theme developers it just means they have tested it out and not found any major issues for others they have taken the time to do custom layouts with buddypress specific features in mind. but yes to reiterate most any theme should at least be basically compatible since buddypress takes care of its own layout automatically.

See this post. There’s a bug in iOS 8 file uploads. I’m not sure if it has been resolved yet.

i would only add that a theme which is designed specifically for buddypress can be better depending on your situation especially if the theme dev took special time to do a better job on those buddypress specific pages.

Have you tested with one of the bullet proven 2013 or 2014 themes ?

Some Dynamix related topics can be found here.

– Members import – I used it two other times a year ago for different lists with no problem.
A year ago means datas from BP ~1.7 and the reason why i mentionned the ticket.

my issue isn’t with avatars
I have a doubt 😉 : on your members directory, the default avatar is gravatar who doesn’t appear. Avatars may not be the issue but are related to profiles.

Try to use Mystery Man instead. if he appears as default avatar, there is perhaps a conflict with media upload or permalinks.

The other thing i observe, is that you and the other user who’s profile access is ok, are the only one using a username in the URL. All other members have first and last name.

Do you use a custom function or a plugin to get this ?

About wpengine, is this already the case ?
