BuddyPress.org

@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/

Hi Guys,

I’m also experiencing this issue with a broken registration form.
Fresh wp + buddypress install.

WP_DEBUG doesn’t report anything… the registration form just fails silently on submit.
I don’t have any weird directory naming going on like hope mentioned above^
I just had a fresh test wp install setup on mamp at http://localhost:8888/wordpress/
Tried renaming this dir in case it was some reserve word issue with ‘wordpress’… still no luck.

wp 3.9.1
bp 2.0.1

cheers,

So, I’ve been combing these forums for weeks for a very similar problem, and being that this is the closest solution post, I thought I would ask here, extending the support for this problem.

I would like to redirect users during login in the following manner:

If logging in from the front page (site, not user): redirect to user profile
If logging in from anywhere else: redirect to original url (where original url is the url where the login process was initiated)

Currently I am forced to run the following for backwards compatibility reasons:
WP: 3.7.3
php: 5.3.10
bbPress: 2.5.3
BuddyPress: 1.9.2 +5 complimentary plugins

Active Plugins
45+ with the most relevant being:
BadgeOS: 1.3.5 +4 complimentary plugins
Bowe Codes: 2.1
BP My Home: 2.0
BP RedirecttoProfileforBuddypress: 1.2
BP Simple Front End Post: 1.1.4
BuddyBlog: 1.0.4

I’ve tried to edit the redirect plugin mentioned often here as well as with no luck.

Here is a sample of one of my latest attempts (a modification on redirect to profile plugin):

add_filter("login_redirect","bpme_redirect_to_profile",100,3);

function bpme_redirect_to_profile( $redirect_to_calculated, $redirect_url_specified, $user ){
	/* if no redirect was specified,let us think we want the current page */
	if( empty( $redirect_to_calculated ) )
		$redirect_to_calculated=$redirect_url_specified;
	
	/* if the user is site admin or not and it's the front page,redirect to his/her profile */
	if( is_super_admin( $user->ID ) && is_front_page() )
		return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) . 'profile/';
	if( !is_super_admin( $user->ID ) && is_front_page() )
		return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) . 'profile/';
	else
		return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/

}

(I recognize that the admin user check is redundant, that was part of some debugging I was doing)

I find that every time I try to check for the front page, something happens to interrupt the redirect process. Without a check for front page: Working great! With the check for front page: No Bueno! I’ve been using several debugging plugins and if I understand them correctly, most of the issue has to do with the sidebar login location (it seems to ignore wp_login and login_redirect hooks/filters) and checking for the front page.

I tried many other plugins and most of the code (with minor adjustments for my needs) that was offered on the forums here, including the Ajax one, but most of our login process is done through the sidebar and they just don’t ever get called or triggered during the sidebar login process.

I would love some advice on how to adjust what I have and get it working properly.

Your help is appreciated, thanks!
