BuddyPress.org

#4357 – I agree that something needs to be done. bbPress already adds a “Forums” section on a BP profile, so perhaps bbPress can simply redirect /forums/users/USERNAME/ to BP’s /members/USERNAME/forums. I would say this is more a bbPress issue than a BuddyPress one. Please add a ticket to bbPress Trac about this. (Use the same credentials you use on buddypress.org to create a new ticket.)

#3335 already has comments on it regarding why WP’s profile is not included with BuddyPress. I do find it odd that bbPress allows users to edit WordPress’ user profile though… I’ve created a new ticket with some further thoughts – #5619

Hi, folks,

I’ve seen that this thing of activation e-mail is quite a headache for some people using BP. I’m currently having some trouble too. Most of the time, when a user creates an account on the site I’m working on, the e-mail with the activation link is sent ok. But for some users, the link on the e-mail comes without the key (something like http://www.site.com/activate/?key=), what results in the page asking a activation key. The problem is that I can’t reproduce the issue, but I received even a print screen from an user showing that the problem indeed exist.

I’ve installed Unconfirmed plugin to check if there is users that are not confirmed, and there are a couple of users. I can see the activation key for every unconfirmed user. What can be causing this issue?

I’m currently using Buddypress 1.8.1, bbPress 2.4.1, and for the themed login, I’m using Theme My Login 6.3.9. I’m using too WordPress Social Login 2.1.3 for give users a social login option. To style the e-mails, I’m using WP Better Emails 0.2.6.5.

Thanks for any help!

If you are using WordpPress multisite by default anyone signing up to example1.com will be able to log-in to example3.com –
But by default he will only be able to see his own profile. You will then have to manually change his role to at least subscriber for him to participate/see BuddyPress on example3.com

If you don’t have a developer you can try this plugin to automatically assign a subscriber role on example3.com to each new user registered elsewhere

Good luck!

@katieswinehart,
I dont know why you have double search button, there must be something wrong with the theme you are using or a custom script.

I just change ‘#buddypress div.dir-search ‘

from -39px 0 0 0; to -3px 0 0 0;

and everything looks fine and I can see the form.

@projectfms, you can make buddypress look whatever you want. the latest BP is compatible with any WP theme and you can customise it to look what you want or just create a custom WP theme to suit your needs.

Here are some suggestions and ideas:

1. and 2. Here you would configure a bit to make the roles do whatever you want when you want it.

3. It is possible to remove it and activate only the messaging component.

4. Today this is easy with the Theme Compatibility and Template Files (https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/)

Try not to repeat all the file path. Just putting:

themes/your-theme/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

I had the same problem. It was caused by an unhandled PHP error.

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_activity_get() in …/wp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-activity.php on line 266

Here’s the fix.

Fix: Modified BP plugin bp-xprofile function to prevent the error.

File: wp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-activity.php
Function: bp_xprofile_updated_profile_activity
Line: 266

Added the following to prevent the error.
// FIX: Blank page after edit profile save.
if ( function_exists ( ‘bp_activity_get’ ) ) {
…

@protechig
Have you tried using the language file approach?

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Try this in bp-custom.php or your theme functions.php:

function jeff_change_buddypress_profile_tabs( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {

    if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  {
        return $translated; 
    }

    switch ( $original_text ) {
    
        case 'Groups <span>%d</span>':
            return 'Bongos <span>%d</span>';

        case 'Groups':
            return 'Bongos';
            
        default:
            return $translated;
    }
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'jeff_change_buddypress_profile_tabs', 10, 3 );

I tested this on BuddyPress 2.0 and twentytwelve theme and it’s adding the custom content

I personally doesn’t create like that. I bring the files to my themes folder and edit them. This is better for upgrades and I won’t need to create pages.

Example: If I want to have a custom Profile page, I would do the following steps:

1 – Create a folder in my theme called, BuddyPress (wp-content/themes/my-theme/buddypress).
2 – I would copy the profile file from the bp-legacy template in the BP plugin folder and would put in this BuddyPress folder in my template.
3 – Edit the way I liked.

It depends much of what you are trying to do, but this approach solved my problems in a more secure and future-friendly way.

according to the codex they’re (bp_is_home and bp_is_my_profile) the same thing

Template Tag Reference

@j-j 60,000 members is an awful lot compared to most BuddyPress installations! Whilst low-performance is less noticeable on websites that have low-traffic, it explains why your queries are taking the extra time.

Going into 2.0, I think the core team realised more could be done to help sites such as your own, so they earmarked lots of areas of 1.9.2 that could be improved performance-wise. I think it might be more profitable in the long run for you to resolve the 502 error, rather than addressing a handful of queries that are running slowly. It’s likely that these queries have already been addressed in 2.0 – along with so much more.

Actually, 2.0.1 came out yesterday. It includes a number of fixes, some of which are related to the 1.9.x to 2.0.x upgrade routine. See: https://buddypress.org/2014/05/buddypress-2-0-1/

Same issue I posted a few days ago
