BuddyPress.org

@fitnessblogger when @azchipka says adjust the path in the plugin to achieve /author/username I assume that means just getting rid of /posts/? I’m not familiar with the plugin. @azchipka should be able to help with specifics.

If you just want to show posts on a BP profile then my code should work:

Alternatively the plugins I mentioned earlier by buddydev.com are brilliant.

Thanks @henrywright-1
I did look at Buddyblog but didn’t know that a list of posts on profile comes standard. I actually don’t want my users to blog from their profile. I just want to show a list of blog posts on my member profiles. In any case I will check it out.

It seems a pity that the simple Posts in Profile plugin cannot be fixed. I posted on this subject 7 months ago and no one has been able to make it work. It also seems like a highly visible and critical piece to Buddypress WordPress integration. Anyone using WordPress and thinking of adding BP social networking features will want this.

Guess I will let it go!

@hughshields If you’re just getting started with PHP and prefer a plugin, try BuddyBlog – http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/ and Simple Front End Post http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/

You can let your members blog directly from their BuddyPress profile. A list of posts on profile comes as standard too.

The plugin by @azchipka called “TCH-BuddyPress-Posts-On-Profile” gets the job half way done and successfully creates a tab on the member profile, but it looks like there is a problem with the code when displaying member posts. Firstly it links to a new page and doesn not display posts within the tab on the member profile, and secondly it does not display any posts. Here is the code. anyone care to take a swing at fixing this:

// show feedback when 'Posts' tab is clicked
function bp_postsonprofile() {
add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'profile_screen_posts_show' );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}

function profile_screen_posts_show() {
$theuser = bp_displayed_user_id(); 
query_posts("author=$theuser" );
if ( have_posts() ) :
get_template_part( 'loop', 'archive' );
else: ?>
<div id="message" class="info">
		<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, this user has not published any posts.', 'buddypress' ); ?></p>
	</div><?php endif; ?>    <?php
} 
}
?>

I’m having this same problem. Anyone know of a way to shrink images in the activity stream? I’m also using Buddypress Activity Plus… Any suggestions? Or do I need to contact author directly? Any insight is much appreciated.

thanks

This would be easy using just BuddyPress Xprofile fields:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/
You could create a dropdown menu and make it required and only allow the selection from say 21 to 120 years of age (“Not like most of us will live that long anyway unfortunately”) But also have a check box that is required that all information entered to join the site is true etc.

have you checked out rt/buddypress media?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/

not really sure if it does what you want but just throwing it out there.

The codex is your Buddy:

What theme are you using as well as plugins? Sounds kinda like you may have got a theme from somewhere other than a reputable place and maybe it has some java-script that is causing this. Have you tried switching themes to Twenty Twelve or bp-default and deactivated all plugins other than BuddyPress?

The way I would show posts on a BuddyPress profile would be like this:

$args = array( 'author' => bp_displayed_user_id(),
                'post_type' => 'post'
        );
query_posts( $args );
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
// do something amazing
endwhile; else:
// no posts found so do something less amazing
endif;
wp_reset_postdata();

This topic says resolved but I am not able to get posts to show on the profile. After reading the above thread multiple times here is what I did:
1. Downloaded an updated version of BP Posts on Profile revised by @azchipka called “TCH-BuddyPress-Posts-On-Profile”, installed, and activated it.
2. Added the code offered by @anywherebuthollywood to the functions.php file in my child theme.

The “My Profile” tab does appear but if I click on it I get the same empty blog page with “Members” in the header and whichever logged in user showing up as a link to the logged in author’s page.

Did I miss a step or is this not resolved after all?

this is actually a problem with the latest version of bbpress it going to be fixed in the next update. you should be able to downgrade to 2.3.2 to temporarily fix the problem until 2.4.1 comes out.

Good idea, though you’d want the code to look like this:

id="<?php echo esc_attr( bp_get_the_profile_field_name() ); ?>" ...

This ensures the output is correctly escaped to avoid XSS attacks.

bp-template-pack was removed on purpose to avoid confusion with recent versions of BuddyPress. Any references to it in older docs should be tidied up 🙂
