BuddyPress.org

Did you use a one click install for WordPress?

@profc
Has all of the buddypress files that the template pack plugin copied over in your theme been removed? If I remember correctly you would have to manually remove those via cpanel or FTP. I don’t think deactivating the plugin will remove them but its been awhile since I used it. Since 1.7+ I haven’t looked back! 🙂

Thanks for sharing your fix.
To suggest a change to core code, please use
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
to submit a ticket re a bug or enhancement.

The core devs will definitely see it there.

Clarification:

This template file is found in the base BuddyPress plugin folder under the bp-members folder.

I just upgraded a BuddyPress site to v1.8.1 and did a cursory check to see if this search issue had been resolved yet. It has not, which sort of mystifies me because the problem is more than two years old and requires a modification to BuddyPress core code.

Here is the segment of code that I’ve changed (again) in the bp-members-template.php script found in the plugin’s “core” folder:

 // Pass a filter if ?s= is set.
  // ref link: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/wp-search-results-page-kills-bp-member-widgets/
  // ref link: http://buddydev.com/support/forums/topic/wp-search-results-page-kills-bp-member-widgets/

 // Original code on lines 313-318 remarked out in favor of Modified code on lines 320-322
	//if ( is_null( $search_terms ) ) {
	//	if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) )
	//		$search_terms = $_REQUEST['s'];
	//	else
	//		$search_terms = false;
	//}

    /******* Modified search code *******/
    if ( !is_search()&&isset( $_REQUEST['s'] ) && !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) )
        $search_terms = $_REQUEST['s'];
    /******* End Modified Search Code *******/

Has anyone on the core development team considered making this into a “hook” that we can remove and rewrite for our child themes?

Did you follow https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/ ?

@coutain @elenis1517

Please don’t ‘hijack’ other people’s topics.

Are you logged out when you go to the register / activate pages? If not then what you describe is normal behaviour as those pages are redundant when you are logged in.

If you are still having problems please start a different topic and provide more relevent details – see https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

@cc-cailin It’s stated at the very top of the WP plugin forum page you link to!! the statement reads ‘please don’t use’

This was the whole point of all the work that went into BP 1.7 for theme compat. Please read those links provided so you understand how things work now, it’s also worth following the BP blog and even bpdevel site to keep up to date with developments.

I have a similar problem. I set all the pages, but when trying to open the registration page the system goes to the front page.

@asieger as hnla mentioned above, deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins. Can you register/activate an account with BP deactivated?

@cc-cailin
As @modemlooper stated you should not use that plugin. Please review:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

You would build a theme like any standard WordPress theme.

@profc
You do not need to use BP Template Pack plugin with BuddyPress anymore! Please review:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

That is probably why you are having this issue!

Hi there,
I’m using BuddyPress since no much long so may be my solution is not the coolest.

I’ll tell you what I’ve done to achieve my goal. (allow access to members directory to registered and non-registerd user.)

Go to CBOX theme options and have a look into BuddyPress options. There you’ll see this option ‘Turn this option on to restrict access to your BuddyPress components to members only’.
Turn it on. That way BuddyPress components will be restricted including members directory.
As a I want it to be public I edit a function… maybe_redirect(). There I added this “|| bp_is_current_component(‘members’ )” to the if coondition.
That way, I make members directory accesible for everyone.
Hope this help you, mate.

You should not use that plugin. It does not need to be used with current BuddyPress

We want to add Subjects (say Basic Maths) to the schools (groups). The requirement is that students should be able to search for schools offering that ‘subject’.

@sakthi31 what you need would require a custom plugin/solution, like adding custom field/s for groups https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/how-to-edit-group-meta-tutorial/ Please double-check the code/plugin in a test install before using in a live site.

@zane

1) Reply button on what page exactly? Forum post or blog post? What theme are you using?

2) Group Forum posts do appear in that Group’s Activity Stream. If you want to disable forum/blog post commenting in the Activity Stream to prevent confusion and to have all the forum/blog post comments in one location, then go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings – Activity Settings, and make sure that Blog & Forum Comments are not enabled (not checked).
