BuddyPress.org

1st – This is not a BuddyPress related question, so in the future, I’d be mindful of what you post here.

2nd – The pic link is not working, how can you expect us to help you without understanding your problem?

3rd – You can solve this problem with this plugin, https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/, you will need to give “contributors the needed capability to upload images, something that as far as I’m concerned they don’t have by default.

Good luck! =)

A look at the Codex don’t hurt. Check out this article, https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_core_get_userlink/, I’v used it recently to accomplish whay you’re trying to do.

Hope it helps! =)

Don’t know why my link was not posted. Here it is if it can.

Hello All,

I found a solution for this and already have created a ticket for this. See link below for solution.

Thanks,

Hi @cnaughton

The function should be defined? See here:

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php#L2660

Do you have the groups component activated?

@ginnybee This plugin should do the trick: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/

This resource might help: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/force-user-registrations-to-your-own-buddypress-registration-page/

If you’re on a group page use:
bp_group_date_created()

See buddypress\bp-groups\bp-groups-template.php for the particulars re that function.

In your theme, create an over-ride this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

Read this re over-riding files:

@mrk79uk

Have you tried wrapping it in a function and and using an action as suggested in
https://gist.github.com/r-a-y/5578432 ?

Did you find this discussion about the issue:

see other topic: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/disable-the-bp-registration/

…can I just create those pages to satisfy BuddyPress and then just make them private?

You can. In fact, if you’re sure you’ll never need them you can perform a 301 permanent redirect to ensure they never show. For example:

function redirect_pages() {
	if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_members_component() ) {
		wp_redirect( home_url(), 301 );
		exit();
	}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_pages' );

If for some reason you find you do in fact need the activation page, then remove || bp_is_activation_page() from the above code.

1 Year 5 Months later I see that this isn’t automatic with the BP default theme-

I don’t believe that I’m missing something.

Please can you guys at buddypress.org make this happen?

Thank you

Mark M.

bp_loggedin_user_avatar will echo the url

bp_get_loggedin_user_avatar will return the url

See buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-template.php

There is a plugin for this but you have to download it directly from the site (it is not in the wordpress plugin directory. At least it wasn’t via my searches).

BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier

I can’t believe that activity notifications on comments is not a core functionality. I have submitted a feature request for this.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5430#ticket

@szed

Any luck with adding the buddypress-activity-plus icons with the buddypress activity shortcode plugin?

Thanks!

Sounds like javascript is not loading properly in your admin.

BuddyPress is pretty thoroughly tested and doesn’t normally cause that kind of error. So I would have to assume BuddyPress Like is the cause. Especially if you only get the error with that plugin activated. I would ask the developer of BuddyPress Like directly.

I have used Bad Behavior. It’s ok.

I found the best solution so far has been BuddyPress Security Check.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-security-check/

It knocked out the majority of spam for me, and I’ve tested many spam plugins. You’ll still get some spammers, but hopefully less.

Most spammers leave links in forums. BuddyPress could really use a method to block new users who post links pending approval.

This plugin puts users in moderation on signup:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/

But that still requires you to manually activate everyone…

Not sure why that doesn’t work. You might want to download this plugin (which supposedly works with BuddyPress) and investigate their code to see how they’re doing it.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/embedly/

There actually is a plugin that accomplishes this (the initial request) to some extent. See:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/

This would be a really great core feature. It would allow you to have member types with different profile data collected based on the first condition.

Some examples:

• teacher/student
• employer/applicant
• man/woman
• manager/employee
• etc.

Right, and to anyone else reading this, you also have to install bbPress first and make sure to adjust your forum settings to allow BuddyPress groups to have forums.
