If you’re not using the Friends component, why not disable it under the BuddyPress components menu?

Configure BuddyPress

Uncheck “Friend Connections” and save.

If you’re using the wp_bp_friends table in weird ways. Disable the friends component and create your own custom component plugin referencing this table. You should really have created a new table and namespaced it differently to avoid these issues you’re running into.

You could also try removing the button:
remove_action( 'bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_add_friend_button', 5 );

This would need to be called before the page loads.

@doodledogcody as of now, there’s only a premium plugin https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/ning-to-buddypress-user-importer/ that does Ning to BP import.

see this discussion:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/adding-a-subnav-with-new-page-content-to-the-profileactivity-page/

Try changing this:

bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘buddypress/members/single/plugins’ ) );

To this:

bp_core_load_template( 'members/single/plugins' );

This filter will remove any members count everywhere. Goes into bp-custom.php or theme’s functions.php

add_filter ('bp_get_total_member_count', '__return_false');

Now you see a count with zero. But this count is hardcoded in a span. So you can hide this with css:

#activity-all span, 
#members-all span{
	display:none;	
}

See html/css details in index.php of each folder in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

Hi,

Depending on the theme you use (regular WordPress theme, BP Default or a child of it, or a standalone BuddyPress theme), you can override some templates to achieve your goal.

Have a look at the codex starting with this page : https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

If it’s a regular WordPress theme, then you can can add a buddypress folder in it and copy these templates into it respecting the ‘tree’ :
– bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php
– bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/activity.php

Once done, you should have :
– yourthemefolder/buddypress/activity/index.php
– yourthemefolder/buddypress/members/single/activity.php

Then into these two files search for bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' ); and you should see a line above an if statement containing is_user_logged_in().... Replace is_user_logged_in() by bp_current_user_can( 'theminimumcapability' )

where theminimumcapability is the the role capability you’re targeting. See the WordPress codex to define it : https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

Hi,

You can use the Group Extension API to build your own group area : https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/group-extension-api/

Just wanted to follow up…we did come up with a solution for this in case any one else is looking for it.

Full details are now on my blog at Revelation Concept.

function rc_buddypress_profile_update( $user_id ) { 
 
     $admin_email = "YOUR-EMAIL@DOMAIN.COM";
     $message = sprintf( __( 'Member: %1$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_user_displayname( $user_id ) ) . "\r\n\r\n"; 
     $message .= sprintf( __( 'Color: %s' ), bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Color') ). "\r\n\r\n";
     wp_mail( $admin_email, sprintf( __( '[YOUR SITE] Member Profile Update' ), get_option('blogname') ), $message );
 }
 
 add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', 'rc_buddypress_profile_update', 10, 5 );

Now we are talking very basic WordPressing here.

Go to the appearance/menus screen and from there it’s pretty self explanatory.

click on ‘Create a new menu’, call it whatever you want, then select what pages you would like to appear in the menu.

Underneath the list of WordPress pages you see a tab full of Buddypress options that can also appear in the menu, one of which is the log-in/log-out button.

Regards

You need to add it to one of your menus or as a widget.

Go to appearance/menus – then you can select a range of Buddypress options to add to your nav bar for both logged in or logged out users. Click the Buddypress tab (below the pages tab). If you don’t have a nav bar then create a new one.

Otherwise appearance/widgets – and place the login widget somewhere!

Regards

Anyway an image says more as words (in our case).

Check if this plugin can help you:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-tabs/

On xprofile component, the default field group is called Name and contains only one field who will contain the username. This group is already tabed on a profile page and is the only group field who appears on the register page.

Now, on the xprofile admin you can add as many fields and group fields you want, and you can set each field to different visibility.
These new field can be grouped and each group you create will automatically be tabed on a profile page.

https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/

If you mean showing groups on the profile, this also made automatically by BP. On each profile, you have (if exist) the groups the member belongs to.

If all this is not what you mean, be more explicit 😉

In your first topic you asked: It is possible to turn off this notification?

Yes it is, and the solution is in the first link. The other link is given as reference to the code, who is in a core file. Such core files should never been modified directly.

You need to study a bit WP and BP codex to understand how to achieve this, and learn a bit more about buddypress customization. You are also free to hire a developer by posting at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or somewhere else.

One easy way to begin is to search and read this forum first i guess.

hi @jjjaay9,

BuddyPress (BP) is a community plugin (a bundle of 8 distinct components and many other features) for WordPress. These components are all optionnal, but in any case, publishing is the territory of WordPress.
If you want to allow front-end publishing for your users, to avoid them going directly into the admin, search some plugin on the WP plugin repo or use a theme who provide such facility.

For example consider the theme P2, it probably contains anything you listed. (so far i remember)

User guide is here.

Group exclusion doesn’t work on a single install for the moment (only on MS).
More advice on this here:

Hi @paton400,

give this a try. You can the function to your child-theme’s functions.php or into bp-custom.php

//Remove Buddypress members search 
function bpfr_remove_member_search_form( $search_form_html){
    return '';
}
add_filter('bp_directory_members_search_form', 'bpfr_remove_member_search_form'  );
