Re BadgeOS plugin conflict: please post the issue at the plugin’s support page at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/badgeos

Re error with Media upload: Do you mean you cannot upload media from the Page/Post/Media > Add New panels? Then do provide more information https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/. If you’re using a third-party media plugin, please post the issue at that plugin’s support forums.

I found this:

https://bp-tricks.com/featured/buddypress-shortcodes-plugin/

It is a bp shortcodes plugin that has a display members function.

shouldn’t BuddyPress create those pages automaticallyyes, but only when it is the first install. As you sed a member plugin previously with a page name member, BP didn’t create one as it already exist. But BP doesn’t check for existing plugins, just for “his” pages.

Anyway, as you added BP, than reinstalled or reactivate, the page was already registered in the wp_post table, with a post_type of ‘page’ and a post_status of ‘publish’.

Also, in the WP system, when a page is in the trash, it is not deleted. The page is still in the table, but with a post_status of ‘trash’. To remove it completely you need to delete it permanently. Click on trash and use the appropriate button.

Now the issue. You have 2 member pages. The one has a slug /member/, the other has a slug /member-2/.
The one may show in the pages list and the other in the trash. This naming is the internal way used by WP to differenciate 2 pages with a same name. That’s fine, but BP dosn’t know about that, and you can run into trouble because of this. And other plugins also.

Ensure you have only one page called ‘member’ and clear the trash. And delete completely the other one. Do the same for any other BP page eventually. The principle is to have an unique page name in the pages list and no identical page in trash.

Yes you have to create these page manually now. By default, each component should have one page assigned. On a standart install, you should have at least:
members – activity. If activated, group. And depending of the previous status of your WP (before BP installation) a page for activation and registration. If not in BP’s page settings, you have to add them manually.

Note also that all these pages exist only to give a slug to each component. These page are not ordinary WP pages, but slugs placeholder used internally by WP to connect the components.
That’s why they should exist, be blank and without any model or template assignation.

The content is added dynamically by BP for each component with the appropriate template to the current action.

e.g. the member page. You can name it to what you want. Lets say you called it crew. His slug is /crew/
When typing your-site.xx/crew/ you will see something related to the member component.

The member directory is default: your-site/crew/ will show all your members

Now you want to see a profile. The slug wont change, but only the action.
Again your-site/crew/ (the default slug, aka page) and the new action: go to the profile of /username/
Click on a member name and you’re now on his profile: your-site/crew/username
Now from the profile you want to see that users friends.
your-site/crew/username/friends

As you see, you’re always on the same “page”, but with different content depending the context. This context is defined by anything appearing after the slug name.
This behave is the exact inverse of a traditionnal WP page, intended for so called static contents such as about page or TOS and similar stuff.

Hope this point is now clear to you.

The pages are probably already in your dashboard – pages – view all – just not associated (?)

You use only a profile album, isn’t it ?
First, you have to decide what should happen in the future. Should this gallery be definetly unique ?

If yes, you can programmatically remove the Album item from the main menu, and add by doing the same, a custom item, if when cliked, leads to the profile gallery.

Isn’t the case with your theme. It doesn’t use a standart primary nav menu.
But you can create a new menu (call it caesarnav or what ever unique), add anything related to buddypress from the buddypress menu options(on the left), and choose the galleries option (below BP options) where your profile album is. Then simply add this to the custom menu and assign this menu as header menu. This will replace the default graphene menu by your custom menu.

Try using this hook do_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', $user_id, $key, $user );
from buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-functions.php

Hi guys,

sorry to jump in, thought you need a little help from a mediapress early adopter.
But first, about the theme used by @caesarhills.

About Graphene
The theme has an option where you can hide child pages. You probably don’t need to show all your site pages listing below BuddyPress content as you use the buddy menu.
dashboard > appearance > graphene options. Tab General > child page option, select hide listing.

About Mediapress

@venutius, @caesarhills
You don’t need to use a shortcode to get a list off existing galleries. This is default behave.

Caesar, you use BP on network. When you use mediapress, take in account this remark from MP’s author:
If you don’t want to have a separate MediaPress Installation for all the sites, please do not network activate MediaPress. Only activate it on your Main BuddyPress site.

MediaPress is best suited on a Multisite install if you activate it on main site or network activate if you are using BuddyPress Multi Network plugin.

1) When you install a directory uploaded on Github (which is the case of mediapress), github add automatically -master to that folder. You have to remove that when you add the directory to wp-content/plugins/. So to get mediapress working correctly, ensure that the plugin path is
wp-content/plugins/mediapress/ and not wp-content/plugins/mediapress-master like it is setted on trato111.org actually

2) activate mediapress like any other plugin. When BP is installed, you get a message telling mediapress has no page associated to it. Click on repair and add a page manually. Call it ‘album’. Then assign this page to MediaPress component on BuddyPress > settings > pages. Save.

Return to front and reload it. Now you should see a menu item called Album beside Activity, Groups, etc. on the main menu.

Click and you see an empty Album page with the usual search filter for galleries, a sort filter for galleries and a little message telling you “There are no galleries available!”.

Again, that’s the default behave. Note that i didn’t evoquate mediapress settings. I described you only what happens when you install mediapress by default.

For more in-deep details, please refer to MediaPress documentation.

And if you want to use shortcodes, do it after reading this doc.

You seem to have set that page up as the Buddypress Gallery page, and this will over-ride any shortcode you have set for it. Go to your Buddypress settings, to PAges and remove the Page Album from the gallery page, then let me know so I can look.

would it be possible to have a shout to both admins and mods?

I thought about that but there’s a slight problem using @admin or @administrator as a command. Most BuddyPress websites use these usernames as their main user account. To avoid notifying the main site admin, we need to think of a different command to use for this group.

According to this, group member lists include Admins and Mods by default, and there is an optional setting to exclude them. Have you changed this behaviour?

This issue was brought up a few months ago.. hmm.. for that person it runed out to be a theme issue – but I think one of the things brought up to check it…

on the menus page – click “screen options” tab at top right and make sure there is a check in checkbox for “show buddypress stuff” – or something like that.

“BuddyPress Global Search”

“Bp profile search”

I guess is what you may be wondering about.

I would suggest you skip the captcha on registration and instead use something like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-humanity/

or the plugin “good question”

There is another similar to those.. in my experience these work 100 times better in preventing spam registrations..

I also use “ip geo block”

These took my spam fighting down from hours a day to a minutes a week.

In some case, BP doesn’t create automatically a page for components.
If a page named Group doesn’t exist in the page list, create one. And asign it to groups.
Of course, the group component must be activated in BP’s components setting.
