I don’t know if there’s a way to do it natively in BuddyPress (I’m new here), but s2member can be used to create additional member fields that are only accessible to administrators, and I expect there are other plugins that offer similar functionality.

I just installed Buddypress today, the latest version and for some reason when I write on the activity stream it says 6 hours ago.

Looks like this could be the same issue even with the update. Any simple way to fix this issue? Thanks.

@gcbz BuddyPress is commpatible with nearly all WP themes. Other WP themes have their own proprietary templating system (instead of WP’s loop with the_title and the_content in the theme’s page.php file) which trips BP’s theme compatibility process.

One way to address the issue is by creating a new file named buddypress.php which would be a custom template for all BP content in your site. You’d need to copy the content of your theme’s page.php file and paste it into buddypress.php; then change proprietary template tags to the_title and the_content within the WP loop. After you’re done upload buddypress.php file into your theme’s folder in server.

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Or you could customize each BP component in detail https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

That can be done via filters.

For example, look at function bp_is_friend in buddypress\bp-friends\bp-friends-template.php

For the members loop, you could use that filter to hook into a custom function that determines whether the members is a client or lawyer or already a friend and return true or false or empty depending on whether you want to show the add_friend button.

We saw your bug report and left an initial response on the ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5208.

We need a bit more information to work on this issue. Thanks!

look at the original index.php there will be a call to template parts

https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/tags/1.8/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css

Only use the css from below 6.0 BuddyPress. Before using it place #buddypress before each style declaration. This ensures it will only effect BuddyPress specific HTML. You may still need to edit or remove styles because this is based on BP-default and not the new template files.

#activity-stream {
margin-top: -5px;
}

becomes

#buddypress #activity-stream {
margin-top: -5px;
}

BuddyPress css is very minimal as to not force design on a users site. You will need to add your own css to make it look more inline with your sites theme.

Read this to learn about template hierarchy https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

Think you are, but not quite sure what to suggest, but using options table is a possibility? But even then you have to remember that the page doesn’t really exist or at least technically you only have one template file to add logic to, although you can extend that with the additions made to template hierarchy in 1.8.

You possibly need to be targeting filters at the content based on a page check perhaps in combo with a series of option values?

sorry extended my response above.

You may need to explain why you want or need post_meta for a bp page, there wouldn’t be any would there?

What’s the problem?

BP pages are not strictly posts they use the_content() to simply pass through BP data, they are a sort of faux post.

Why do you need a class there, there are plenty of class tokens to hook onto.

You can use Trac if you need to report a bug in BP core:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

With reference to (2), you could always remove the action then enqueue the script you want.

remove_action( 'wp_head', bp_core_confirmation_js', 100 );

Any plugin that requires bp-default may not work right with BP 1.7 plus. A lot of plugins were bound to the templates of bp-default.
