BuddyPress.org

@barniseun Have you checked the forums of the theme author re compatibility with BuddyPress or any template solutions? I can imagine that there are users of the theme or those from the same theme author who would like to install BP in their sites.

Using Masonry with the BP activity feed would be possible. It’s a loop of data just like a loop of blog posts. You might need to change some of the default selectors to match the BuddyPress markup but aside from that I see no problems.

@henrywright, in which of the folder do i find the CSS u put up above, please?

the “change avatar” button on my buddypress site is not showing. my php skills isnt that good, so i am not sure which of the codes to tweak to get it active.
please anyone wanna help?
thanks

@jctunstall Have you tried some basic troubleshooting like changing to the Twenty Fourteen theme to check if issue is resolved? Or try deactivating all other plugins except BuddyPress then reactivating plugins one by one to check if there’s a plugin conflict?

@gcmo please create a trac ticket for this, thank you.

@simonvrolijk When I hover over the Member link in your main menu, I still see the link to members page as http://thesocialeconomy.nl/index.php/members/

Go to Settings > Permalinks and rerun permalinks again by clicking on the Save button. If that doesn’t work in removing that index.php from your link, go to Appearance > Menu and remove the BuddyPress links then click on Save. After that, add back the BuddyPress links

@adeolu What theme are you using? Is the setting to allow members to upload avatars enabled at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/#settings-buddypress-settings ?

@dwidmayer Have you done some basic troubleshooting like those mentioned in this codex article?

If you did and you still have the same issue, please provide more information about your installation.

@liceocr next time, please create your own topic 🙂

If you installed BuddyPress and “Registration” was enabled in your Settings, then you should have automatically generated Registration and Activation Pages which you can change/rename.

If you installed BP and Registration was not enabled at the time, then you would have to create the Pages yourself. Go to https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/

You’re using an older version of BuddyPress. This was fixed in BP 1.9:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5151

BuddyPress 2.0 runs two migration scripts:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0/bp-core/bp-core-update.php#L349

One that moves the last activity entries from user meta to the BP activity table. This migration might be what is causing your site to stall. Do you have a large userbase?

Second, a script is made to create a wp_signups table and move old unactivated signups to this new table. Do you have a lot of unactivated users?

Your memory doesn’t appear to be hitting its limit, so it’s not a memory problem.

You might want to do some Googling. Here’s a quick result that I came across:

Hope that helps. Would be great to figure out what is wrong.

I’m not having a registration page, how to create a registration page buddyPress

@allmyhoney
You need to navigate to your-site/wp-admin/nav-menus.php and in the upper right side you will see a tab with an inverted triangle labeled “Screen Options” click that tab and then check the box beside “BuddyPress” you should then have the BuddyPress links in your menu options. Keep in mind you need to be logged in. Good luck!

I too am looking to create a link in the Appearance > Menu area of WordPress to a users profile and also messages area. I am using Buddypress 2.0.1 and do not see how this is done. My Menu area does not have a buddpress links option here or in the theme options?

@dhyana
It is located in this structure:
your-site\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php
As always I advise using a child theme when making changes! Good luck!

Use this hook.

See example re setting an action.

@henrywright

Thanks. I’ll try this as time permits.

In the meantime I can share with @josephfrio13yahoocom what I know about changing the BuddyPress subnav section:

1. You’ve seen a working example of creating a new subnav in the code I posted earlier. Just substitute your own output function for the xprofile_screen_change_avatar function in the line:

add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'xprofile_screen_change_avatar' );

2. To remove a subnav item see my post here.

3. To change the default subnav, which you will have to do if you want to delete a default subnav, see the BuddyPress codex here, which has a nice example.

I’m sure Henry could do better, but I hope this gets you started. All of this can be done in a functions.php file. No modifications of the BP core should be necessary.

@lflier

Take a look at this example screen function from the BP Skeleton Component:

https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-skeleton-component/blob/master/includes/bp-example-screens.php#L33

Instead of trying to re-use the xprofile_screen_change_avatar, perhaps try creating your own using this as a guide. Boone Gorges looks after the BP Skeleton Component, so the techniques used within it are good practice and provide lots of useful comments on how to get things done.

@josephfrio13yahoocom you have a fine question. I am one step away from being able to answer it for you. I know how to create and delete subnavs, and I know how to set up screen functions for the subnavs I create. But I am not yet able to connect a new subnav with an existing BuddyPress screen function.

I tried the following code last night, but was unsuccessful:

function setup_custom_nav() {
	global $bp;
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
		'name' => __( 'Change Avatarr', 'buddypress' ),
		'slug' => 'change-avatarr',
		'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . 'settings/',
		'parent_slug' => 'settings',
		'screen_function' => 'lf_screen_function',
		'position' => 30,
	) );
}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'setup_custom_nav');

function lf_screen_function() {
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'xprofile_screen_change_avatar' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}

What I get from this is another whole site-generator division inside the already existing one. I get the same thing if I put ‘xprofile_screen_change_avatar’ in directly for the screen function.

I’m getting the screen function from here: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/12bc8cb1b6000d73be2d43e1c34e26c42b5ff215/src/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-loader.php#L216

@simonvrolijk BP requires “pretty permalinks” to work, not “almost pretty permalinks” via appending index.php for Windows servers as I checked your Members Directory page at http://thesocialeconomy.nl/index.php/members/
