BuddyPress.org

Jigesh,

Thanks for the help! This is how it looks right now:

As you can see to the right of the profile image their are some data showing from the custom fields. @mcUK and @shanebp helped me out achieving this. BUT, this is not the correct data it should be showing for this user… It shows data that the logged in user filled in.

I logged in as the user that filled in the correct data, and then it’s showing the right data for the user. But this is because I’m logged in as that user…

NOTE: I’m transferring this data across two plugins: buddypress and learnpress. Just so you know!

This is the php in bp-custom:

<?php

function bptest_show_a_field () {
	$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
	$firstname = xprofile_get_field_data( 'First Name', bp_loggedin_user_id(), $multi_format = 'comma' );
	$lastname = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Last Name', bp_loggedin_user_id(), $multi_format = 'comma' );
	$birth = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Date of birth', bp_loggedin_user_id(), $multi_format = 'comma' );
	$education = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Highest Education Grade', bp_loggedin_user_id(), $multi_format = 'comma' );
	$profession = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Profession', bp_loggedin_user_id(), $multi_format = 'comma' );
 
	if ( ! $firstname && ! $lastname && ! $birth && ! $education && ! $profession ) { 
	   return; 
	}   
	else {
	    echo 'Voornaam: ' . $firstname . '<br />' ; 
	    echo 'Achternaam: ' . $lastname . '<br />' ; 
	    echo 'Geboortedatum: ' . $birth . '<br />' ; 
	    echo 'Hoogste graad: ' . $education . '<br />' ; 
	    echo 'Beroep: ' . $profession . '<br />' ; 
        
	}
}

add_action ( 'user_a_field', 'bptest_show_a_field' );
?>
 

@danbp thumbs up! 🙂

I guess I’m not going to pursue getting a forum on my site.

@ldesherl You do not need to install BuddyPress in order to get a forum. You only need to install bbPress forums plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/ which works perfectly without BuddyPress.

Do you know which file holds all of the buddypress specific filters and actions?

They are mainly grouped according the component being used.
Look in buddypress/bp-activity/ for activity related filters and actions.

If you have a decent file editor ( notepad++ ? ) you can do a find-in-files search.

When looking at the bp-default one

Unless you are explicitly using the bp-default theme, you should be looking at this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\activity\entry.php

As for the function, it says:
* @uses bp_get_activity_action()

So look at that function which you will find right below the one you looked at.
And you will see:

 * @param array $args {
	 *     @type bool $no_timestamp Whether to exclude the timestamp.

hi @ldesherl,

sorry to jump in, i see some weird path on your site.
E.g. http://oneladyfights4life.com/members-7/ or activity-streams-2/ BP is looking for “members”, not members-2. This happens mostly when a page is in trash and the same page name is used again.

To be clear, you create a page called “member”. Then you decided to trash it and recreate a page called “member”. The problem is that WP knows now about 2 “member” page (one as page, the other as trashed) and add automatically -2 to the second page permalink.

A page in trash is not destroyed, but simply deactivated. As long as you don’t clear the trash you can restore such a page.

-7 and -2 means you created at least seven members and 2 activity pages.

Go to Pages adminsitration and check any of BuddyPress page permalink. These slugs would be better without any number at the end. Edit the page and correct the permalink which is right under the page title.
You should have http://oneladyfights4life.com/members/

See also in page trash if you have similar pages in it. If yes delete them definitely.

Once done, go to BP page settings and ensure all BP component have the correct page associated.
Finally, go to permalinks settings and save that page. With a little luck, you will get BP working now.

@ldesherl I think it might help if you could leave that link above switched to a WP default theme and with all plugins deactivated, just while you’re seeking help for this issue, as things stand I see no sight of BuddyPress or bbPress running, and the theme is a custom one with a lot of plugins running. Buddypress should default to using a series of pages that it will create, your ‘Activity’ example is named with a custom title, you also seem to have a lot of trashed pages as the members page slug has ‘-7’ added suggesting 6 other copies of a page named ‘members’ try deleting those.

@mrunal2989 my bad, it should be

body.register #buddypress {
width: 90%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

@henrywright I’m a fan of your Buddypress Mute plugin. Would you consider (if you have the time) producing a working version of this “Bump Activity to top Plugin”? The original dev is not active any more. Hard to believe there’s no other solution out there. Perhaps I’m underestimating the complexity, though.

@mrunal2989 the easiest way to center the registration page to select the full-width page template (instead of the Default Template) of your theme from the “Register” page Page Attribute box and then use CSS on the #buddypress wrapper to center the registration page. e.g. add

#buddypress {
     width: 90%; 
     margin-left: auto; 
     margin-right: auto; 
} 

to your theme’s stylesheet.

@ldesherl Sorry to learn that you’re having many issues with BuddyPress. Closing this topic and continuing discussion at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/could-not-save-basic-settings/

@ldesherl If you’re not seeing the button to save settings to associate Pages with BP components, then you might need to delete BuddyPress then re-install BuddyPress.

As for the content of the BuddyPress pages not showing up: I suspect it’s a plugin conflict, specifically with the Shareaholic share buttons and possibly the JetPack Like Button. Deactivate the Shareaholic first and check if the issue is resolved.

EDIT – Also, if you’ve been deleting and re-installing BuddyPress through wp-admin Plugins panel, try deleting then uploading the BuddyPress plugin folder via control panel or FTP.

Because you are using a child theme, you have to register cover image support separately.

Read this section:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/buddypress-cover-images/#about-buddypress-css-overrides

For $theme_handle, since you’re using a child theme, you’ll need to change this to:

$theme_handle = 'bp-child-css';

If your cover image is similar to bp-legacy, you can also change $settings['callback'] to:

$settings['callback'] = 'bp_legacy_theme_cover_image';

Otherwise, write your own callback function by copying and modifying bp_legacy_theme_cover_image(). Don’t forget to change the $settings['callback'] variable to your custom function name if you go this route.

@golf2bi I can see Members and Groups in your main menu. If you’re referring to BuddyPress links in Appearance > Menus, then click on the “Screen Options” tab at the upper right hand corner of that screen to show a panel. Check “BuddyPress” under the “Boxes” section.

I’M MAKING PROGRESS!!

mcUK suggestion to test the code in Buddypress was a very good tip. This is what I found out:

 <div id="user-opleiding">
<?php 
do_action ( 'user_opleiding_field' ); 
?>
</div>

WORKS IN BUDDYPRESS 🙂 I added this do_action in the standard profile page, and it is showing the field Opleiding.

Every other suggestion, like xprofile_get_field_data, doesn’t work.

NOW: do one of you know how I can let do_action work when I call it from another plugin? That would be awesome!

Hi David,

Can’t see any errors in your code, so it should work for BuddyPress (try the do_action within a BP file to double check). Hopefully Shane’s suggestions will work for you!

There should be a BuddyPress log in widget, which you can easily add to any widget area.

Does How to make my site like Facebook help?
