Hi @metalmick

@username on the profile header is displayed with this code in BP 1.9.2
(see bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/members-header.php:28)

if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() ) : ?>
   <span class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></span>
endif; 

The @ sign is hardcoded in the span, so you have to remove it manualy from the file.
To do this, you can hide it with a CSS rule or you can remove the whole if statement if you use member-header.php file within a child theme/theme.

A more elegant solution would be to do this with a function, so we haven’t to think about theme modification or to forgot a CSS rule or to check BP after each update.

The function bp_displayed_user_mentionname is declared in /plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-template.php:1027

As this function is a filter, we can simply remove it to remove the @username from the template. But because the hardcoded @ sign before the username, we have to add a CSS rule with the remove_filter function. The function above will do all that.

Add these snippet to your bp-custom.php (read here if you don’t know this file)

/* remove @username from the profile header */

function bpfr_remove_mention_from_profile() {	

	echo '<style> h2.user-nicename { display:none; } </style>'; // hide the h2 containing the @

	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {  // be sure we get the right user_id
        $user_id = 'displayed: '. bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = 'get_member_user: '. bp_get_member_user_id();
    }

	remove_filter( 'bp_get_displayed_user_mentionname', bp_activity_get_user_mentionname( bp_displayed_user_id() ) );
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_displayed_user_mentionname', 'bpfr_remove_mention_from_profile' ); 

Succesfully tested on BP 1.9.2 and 2.0 beta 1

Great Scott!

These time issues crop up every blue moon, so any insight you can provide into the following time settings would be awesome:

• Your physical timezone
• The timezone setting of your server(s)
• The timezone setting of your PHP configuration
• The timezone setting of your WordPress installation

Seems somewhere down the line, there’s a problem with our calculations in a certain configuration. It could be the math, could be daylight savings time, could be a WordPress bug, a BuddyPress bug, or a rip in the space-time continuum!

hi @saiallexander,

have you tried this plugin ?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-featured-members/

@lerroy @shpitzyl,

FYI, this function will show user_login instead of member_name on the members directory.
Add it to the theme’s functions.php

/* Display Username in Directory */
function my_member_username() {
    global $members_template;
	
    return $members_template->member->user_login;
}
add_filter('bp_member_name','my_member_username');

Tested on WordPress 3.8.1 – BuddyPress 1.9.2

If it’s deleted it’s gone. Still confused about why the date or specific activity is important. How would you get group info if there are no groups?

This is how you manually add activity with code: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_activity_add/

Arguments aside.

I actually need the same thing would like to show Users full name above his @username and show State field and About/ bio field

Have been reading the buddypress documentation with no luck and searching forums.

@anna_tianna

>The plugin is currently not compatible with BuddyPress.

So you talking about adapting a premium plugin.
Is it reasonable to expect somebody to buy the plugin in order to help you?
Perhaps you’re hoping somebody already has it; but even then they would have to be willing to do the work and deliver it to you.

Therefore it’s unlikely that anyone here can help.
If you get to the point where you can be specific about a code issue – iow. you’ve tried to extend the plugin and are struggling, you might want to use
http://stackoverflow.com as it will reach a broader audience.

Also – you could try to hire a developer thru

BP Jobs Board

sorry i read the title of you post too quickly htaccess shouldn’t need anything special for buddypress the standard wordpress compatible htaccess is fine. group based forums are depreciated so i wouldn’t expect that work anymore anyway.

@jamrizzi

Could be a theme issue. For ex. a custom file in “community” or “buddypress” folder of a child theme.
Groups directory and Create a Group are used in bp-themes/bp-default/groups/create.php and index.php
Create a group is also in 4 other files

May also be a group related plugin dependancy.

Please give your BP version, theme name and plugin list.

@rudik123 What do you mean by using with BuddyPress? The Ads Manager plugin work with WordPress. To include the file in some BP pages, I think you’d have to alter some templates files.

I have no idea how to do that, but just to clarify, I think what you are trying to do is exactly what @modemlooper suggested, it appears you’re trying to “change the location” from the groups activity to the user activity, maintaining the proper date, user and etc. Correct?!

If that’s the case, maybe there is a way of automatically copying, with PHP, from the group to the user activity. The user is already set, because it is not gonna change, just the location is gonna change (it’s not gonna continue in the Groups, it’s gonna to the user activity). After copying, you could delete the groups activity and deactivate the Groups Component.

I’m not aware how BuddyPress works with urls, but you would probably need to update to reflect the new location.

@cdb3212 As far as I understood your problem, there are two articles that would save your life if you had a chance of looking in the Codex. These are:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/displaying-extended-profile-fields-on-member-profiles/

bp_profile_field_data()

Take a look at those and try it out. =)

Hi @theatereleven,

I’d say that what you aim for is perfectly possible with BuddyPress. You could the following, just suggestions:

• Your users could register themselves;
• Just active the Extended Profile component;
• Use Extended Profiles Fields so that your users can add information when signing up or later;
• And you could customize the appearance customizing the template the way you want.

Maybe there is a better solution, but with BuddyPress you would get already built-in, profiles, profile fields, register process/page, user roles and etc.

He means you can over-ride a BP template by following the directions here

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

English Answer – @stuffgrid As I myself told you in the BuddyPress Brasil Facebook group, it is not a BP problem. The problem lies in the ajax, js conflicts that your theme is using. Besides, when I looked at it, it seems it lacked some customizations in some BP files.

Resposta em Português – @stuffgrid Como eu mesmo te falei no grupo do Facebook do BuddyPress Brasil. O problema não é no BP, e sim está em um conflito do AJAX e do JS que seu tema está injetando. Eu também vi que algumas páginas faltava configurações/alterações, assim estava falhando quando você carregava mais atividades, por exemplo.

As your first question, this is not a BuddyPress problem, you should check out the WP Doc for more information on how to do this. https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL

For your second question, I believe it is redirecting from the WP login into the BP login page.

I don’t think this is related to BuddyPress. Check out some possible plugins here: https://wordpress.org/search/favourite+posts
