BuddyPress.org

It’s by design:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/messages.php

Closing php tags shouldn’t be necessary, WP instructs not to close out files in this way. If you’re having issues they must lie with the custom templates?

I know the plugin doesn’t address my issue but keeps BuddyPress for members only and hide it from non-logged in users. Privacy is very important to our members. I will upload the members that are truly members from a csv file from a list that is provided for me and give the Contributor Role. What I meant by subscriber is the “Subscriber” Role (vs Contributor, Author, Editor, Administrator).
I’m sorry I haven’t expressed myself well and now off topic. I was just trying to provide a solution for making pages private.

I want people to be able to register as Subscribers but Subscribers should not see any of the BuddyPress/bbPress stuff, only the Contributors and above should be part of the BuddyPress/bbPress community.

…

So you want to limit access to BP content based on a user’s role.
That is a different issue from the original poster’s issue.

I am not sure I understand what you are talking about. What are subscribers?
I mean if I subscribe to get email notification that shouldn’t make the corresponding postings open to non-members even if they subscribed to the corresponding postings. so what do you mean by subscribers?

Is this to a single members full profile page?
/wp-content/themes/themeName/buddypress/members/single/index.php

Or to the page that lists multiple members?
/wp-content/themes/themeName/buddypress/members/index-directory.php

Wither way, I use masonry on both. If you showed your code I may be able to help.

With my page layout I’m able to open the masonry div at the page top and close at at page bottom.

Be sure to have the masonry block divs within that main, masonry div marked with the proper class.

For starters, wrap the members photo (avatar) and Organization field in a div.

Make each div display as block.

Basic example..

<div style=”display: block;”>
<div style=”display: block;”><?php bp_member_avatar(‘type=full’); ?></div>
<div style=”display: block;”><?php bp_member_profile_data(‘field=Organization’); ?></div>
</div>

Remember to replace the php with what you’re using on your site. (field name and avatar type, specifically)

With the WordPress 4.4/BuddyPress 2.4.3/bbPress 2.5.8, if you set any of the BuddyPress pages set to private you get the following error “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams. Repair”

True – If you set Visibility to Private!
Not true if you set the ‘Public or Private’ checkbox provided by the BP Simple Private.

I want people to be able to register as Subscribers but Subscribers should not see any of the BuddyPress/bbPress stuff, only the Contributors and above should be part of the BuddyPress/bbPress community.

That is a different issue from the original poster’s issue.
You should create a new topic.
The BP Simple Private plugin discussed above is not applicable to your issue.

I tried the https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/ and that didn’t seem to do what I wanted. I want people to be able to register as Subscribers but Subscribers should not see any of the BuddyPress/bbPress stuff, only the Contributors and above should be part of the BuddyPress/bbPress community. So I need to be able to exclude Subscribers from BuddyPress/bbPress. I have looked and there is some code out there that seems pretty old so I don’t know if it would work and I am not so great with php so I am a little hesitant. I am also new to BuddyPress so I’m not sure of all the ins and outs.

I tested the plugin and it’s working, in the settings there are two areas [edited – please do not copy & paste such data ]
I hope I am being clear.

@fscbmwcca

thanks for the comment. If I understand correctly then the option:
allows an admin to select which Post types and BuddyPress Components are private
seems to indicate that things like the activity component or the member community component
could be set private.
Did you test the plugin?

The sentence:
provides a Private checkbox in the upper right corner of every page, post, and custom post type selected in Settings

is a bit irritating, finally that feature exists already in a standard BP wordpress version.
That is at least in my BP wordpress version you can already mark
pages as private (i.e. non accessible to non-logged-in members),
i.e. there is already a checkbox. And if there wouldn’t be the bug then
setting the member page and activity to private would have set “the component” to
private, if I understood correctly.
Is the plugin checkbox another checkbox?

There is a plugin which, by its description, seems to set everything private:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/
and which lets you specify which subadresses should be open.
But in my case this is not so helpful because
I want the blog to be public and the blog is not behind a /blog/ adress
but behind the year /2015/… etc.
so I would need to set each year adress open, which seems OK but not really
straightforward.

Hi Steve

It’s not meant to work. We need to update buddypress.org to remove/hide those options. Sorry for the confusion.

It’s to do with the pagination for the Activity Directory screen.

If you have more than 20 activity items (by default), you get a “load more” bar/button at the bottom of the Activity Directory. BuddyPress uses this cookie to store the current “page” of results that you’re on (so it doesn’t load duplicates).

Both files are found here:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\

Make your changes in template overloads of those files.

Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php

In the overload, remove this code. It appears twice.

<div class="pag-count" id="member-dir-count-bottom">

	<?php bp_members_pagination_count(); ?>

</div>

Use tools-buddypress-members to fix it

Hello guys,

One question about bp checkins. this is a fantastic plugin but bpci_activity_address not showing greek characters. any idea how to make the code to use utf-8 so as to play the greek characters?

thanks

i am using buddypress 2.3.5 and wordpress 4.3.1

To like something are you using a plugin? BuddyPress doesn’t come with like functionality out of the box. I would think the plugin you’re using should supply the notification functionality. Try asking your plugin’s author to see if they can add the feature for you.

I installed BP Simple Private it seems to let you mark pages as private and if not logged in it redirects the page. I am only testing now and seems to be working. What I ultimately want to do is exclude “Subscribers” from BuddyPress and bbPress. Haven’t found how to do that yet.

Hello Brajesh Singh and Engine44

I am a newcomer to buddypress and I think I had similar problems as Engine44.
Frankly I could imagine that there are more people who have this
problem but eventually don’t even realize it as a problem.
In particular I can’t imagine that all that bp networks which
are used by schools want to have kids discuss in public. So it might
be a severe problem. But as said I am a newcomer so I might easily be
wrong.

The following concerns mostly the member and activity pages (I hope they are called
this way, this is a direct translation from german), which are either set
public -or if set private can’t be found anymore (which seems to kill more or less all major bp functions, like you can’t see profile etc.) I haven’t looked into groups yet.

I asked a person for help who is pretty proficient in solving general programming
problems but who is not a programmer and in particular not a PHP programmer. So eat with
utmost caution.

He came up with the following hack:
The activity and member pages need to be public in order to assign them
on the bp page. (I think this is the default upon installation)
Then set the pages to private.

go to buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php
and then in function bp_core_get_directory_pages() {…

change

$page_names = $wpdb->get_results( „SELECT ID, post_name, post_parent, post_title FROM {$posts_table_name} WHERE ID IN ({$page_ids_sql}) AND post_statues = ‘publish’ ” );

into

// temporary hack
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$page_names = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT ID, post_name, post_parent, post_title FROM {$posts_table_name} WHERE ID IN ({$page_ids_sql}) ” );
} else {
$page_names = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT ID, post_name, post_parent, post_title FROM {$posts_table_name} WHERE ID IN ({$page_ids_sql}) AND post_statues = ‘publish’ ” );
}
// was:
// $page_names = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT ID, post_name, post_parent, post_title FROM {$posts_table_name} WHERE ID IN ({$page_ids_sql}) AND post_statues = ‘publish’ ” );
// /temporary hack

Have you tried deactivating other plugins to see if there is a conflict?

Have you tried switching to a WP theme like 2013 to see if there is an issue in your current theme?

Hi,

consider https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

Notification likes will be implemented in next update (dixit author)

Hi,

yes of course it is possible.
You have to modify CSS from within your child-theme.

Try:

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.current a span, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a span {
    background-color: red!important;
}

This example will change the background color into red for the number when you’re on a profile tab.
Ie. when on message tab, background goes red. When not, it stays in original color. When on friends tab, background goes red, and so on.

Use Firebug or a similar tool to get the correct tag class or id name.

BuddyPress does not have its own user table.
If BP is activated, all the users in the WP table are BP users.
