BuddyPress.org

easiest way is probably by redefining the element as hidden through an overriding css rule, should work but i’m not sure i’d never personally tried, it’s sorta counter to the whole idea of a social network to do that i think and it’s possible it’s not quite that simple.

you may be able to hide the element but you won’t be able to obscure the profile url so there’s really no way (at least that i know of) to make usernames truly private.

Ditto…

Experiencing the same issue…

@monaloco only to the extent that anyone can just speculate about what’s happening. What theme are you using? Might help. Also, if you’re using Chrome, right click on the gray box and click on Inspect Element and copy the styles and post it here.

@geebz You only need to post once. Closing this duplicate of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/profile-additions/

its a good theme
the link for download is boroken it dont work please give a another link
thank you

@monaloco So you have a screenshot of the issue. For a moment there you had me confused as to how you got BuddyPress in a WordPress.com account 🙂

As to the issue, it’s possible that it could be resolved by simply tweaking styles in your theme’s style.css file. We need to see the site/webpage, site url?

hi @fyreus,

despite you don’t mention your bp version nore the used theme, deactivate all extra group management plugins and consider this solution: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/how-to-add-members-to-a-group-via-wp-users-screen/

By default, BP let you add members to groups from the frontend if you’re friend and at least group admin. And it’s not a good idea to modify this, IMO. 😉

@matejr That’s a tall order. Setting up what you envision would require custom plugins and modifications beyond the scope of these forums. Having said that, you might want to read the following posts which show some solutions used to get a better understanding of the scope of the project you want to take on.

Arrowchat is the usual solution.

No need…. I’ll just explain it slightly better you’re using a buddypress child theme, so you need to create a folder inside _inc called “js”. For me, this holds all my javascript files in this case, you’ll put backstretch.js here (make sure the name is backstretch.js)

Next step is putting the background image in the folder _inc as well, place your image inside “images” within _inc, name it background.(whatever)

Now we need to add the code so that wordpress uses these files – we can add it to our functions.php

function backstretch_script() {
 
		wp_register_script( 'backstretch', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/_inc/js/backstretch.js', 'jquery', '1.8.3', true);
                wp_enqueue_script( 'backstretch' );
    
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'backstretch_script' );

	function backstretch_add() {
?>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri()?>/_inc/images/background.jpg");
        </script>
<?php
	}
add_action ('wp_footer', 'backstretch_add', 20);

add that code as is – you may want to change the .jpg to .png or whatever file type your image is.

If for some reason you don’t want to place backstretch.js or your background image in those folders, you’ll need to modify these two lines to the new location.

wp_register_script( 'backstretch', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/_inc/js/backstretch.js', 'jquery', '1.8.3', true);
jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri()?>/_inc/images/background.jpg");

Hopefully that’s slightly clearer

Is the Groups > ‘Edit’ Function still broken? (Yes i’ve deactivated everything and activated everything 1 by 1) I can’t access anything like the picture posted by Aces.

*edit* Think i found something that works at the moment called BP Group Manager.

BP Group Management

Although the plugin claims that it’s already been added, it’s obvious it doesn’t work properly, so this will have to do until the Edit link is fixed.

buddypress.css is a basic style sheet for layout formatting. You will probably need to add more css to your style sheet to handle the extra html supplied by BuddyPress.

Yes, it’s possible and very easily done using:

@dennish

Its been a few weeks and was wondering if deleting the bbpress issues in the buddypress folder is still the fix for the spambot issue you were having. Thanks!
