Says there’s supposed to be a place admins can change group avatars and do other things, but the functionality listed is nowhere to be found in the installation. What’s going on with this? If a user creates a group and doesn’t use their one chance to upload a group avatar there seems to be now way to change it.

If you don’t want to edit core files then create the same files in your theme folder with the same folder structure and those files will override BP.

copy file from:

buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php

to:

your-theme-folder/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php

open file edit.php in buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php

find:

<?php if ( ‘textbox’ == bp_get_the_profile_field_type() ) : ?>

<label for=”<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>”><?php bp_the_profile_field_name(); ?> <?php if ( bp_get_the_profile_field_is_required() ) : ?><?php _e( ‘(required)’, ‘buddypress’ ); ?><?php endif; ?></label>
<input type=”text” name=”<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>” id=”<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>” value=”<?php bp_the_profile_field_edit_value(); ?>” <?php if ( bp_get_the_profile_field_is_required() ) : ?>aria-required=”true”<?php endif; ?>/>

<?php endif; ?>

change to:

<?php if ( ‘textbox’ == bp_get_the_profile_field_type() ) : ?>

<label for=”<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>”><?php bp_the_profile_field_name(); ?> <?php if ( bp_get_the_profile_field_is_required() ) : ?><?php _e( ‘(required)’, ‘buddypress’ ); ?><?php endif; ?></label>
<input <?php if ( bp_get_the_profile_field_input_name() == ‘field_1′) : ?>maxlength=”10″<?php endif; ?> type=”text” name=”<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>” id=”<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>” value=”<?php bp_the_profile_field_edit_value(); ?>” <?php if ( bp_get_the_profile_field_is_required() ) : ?>aria-required=”true”<?php endif; ?>/>

<?php endif; ?>

that will limit the profile username form field. To limit the sign up name you add maxlength to the register.php form input for username. change max length to however long you want to cut the name off at.

<input maxlength="10" type="text" name="signup_username" id="signup_username" value="<?php bp_signup_username_value(); ?>" />

@gearmx whether BP is installed or not, only the Site/Super Admin can delete a member (delete_users, remove_users). Group Administrators can already Kick and Ban the member from the group and can contact Site Admin to delete the users if necessary. Having said that, if you still want WP Author roles to have capability of deleting users, contact plugin author or check if your Role Scoper plugin can add the function to delete a member by anyone with Author role.

I am looking for a solution for bbPress 2.4 + Buddypress 1.81 to display Buddypress @username instead of the full name in the forums – just like these forums!
I know this is an old thread and the plugin posted by @ekawaii is no longer in existence.

If there’s a tutorial on how to convert the default pages into buddypress ones I’d take that too.

@ptvstudios BuddyPress components are in fact inserted into the default pages (page.php) of WordPress themes and have only the basic styles so that the elements of the BP components would take on the styles set up by your theme for a more seamless integration.

If the BP pages are showing as full-width, it could most probably be because the default page of your premium theme is full-width in the first place. To make all BP pages 2 columns, find your theme’s template with a 2-column layout and copy source code over to a new file named buddypress.php, save and then upload buddypress.php to your theme folder in server. If this doesn’t work out for you, please contact the premium theme author to help you set up the buddypress.php file to 2 columns. Good luck!

Erlend, i would suggest you to wait commercial release for group customization. I am preparing those content blocks to work in user profiles & buddypress groups.

For people interesting, this is an example of content block usage in bbpress replies: http://theme.firmasite.com/support/topic/firmasite-as-a-childtheme/#content_block5
Think about using this in user profiles & buddypress groups !!

I’m having the same problem on Buddypress 1.8.1 and latest WP 3.6. I am using Suffusion as my theme. The Leave Group button is appearing twice on the Groups list page on each group description.
To fix this I went into my child theme folder and edited groups/groups-loop.php

I deleted the following:

Line 40 <?php bp_group_join_button() ?>

Line 46 <?php do_action( ‘bp_directory_groups_actions’ ) ?>

If you do this then users will not be able to join groups from the Groups list page but will have to click on the link for a group and then click the Join Group button from the Group description page. If you want to keep a Join/Leave group button on the Group list page then you will have to experiment with leaving line 46 most likely.

I created a buddypress.php by copying the code tooked from the page-template-fullwidth.php. It didn’t work

@resistoyen sometimes it doesn’t work right away. To continue, using this page as reference:
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/oxygen/0.5/page-template-fullwidth.php?rev=24186

a) Remove the following from your buddypress.php file
Line 3: Template Name: Full Width
Line 13-17: <div class="aside"> to closing </div>

b) Change Line 21 from
<div class="content-wrap">
to
<div class="content-wrap bp-full-width">

c) Add this to your theme’s stylesheet

.bp-full-width {
width: 100% !important; 
}

@valuser great! Marking this as resolved.

hi @valuser,

the bp_is_blog_page function is missing to hide the calendar when on BP pages.

The place with the weird output contains an overcomplicated method to show a title. IMHO there is no need to use so many conditionnals to show a post title…. So I replaced it by the h1 stuff used in Twenty Thirteen.

You will probably need some adjustment into CSS too. So far i can see there is no other trouble with BP. Nice theme !

remove/replace the following into /partials/part_article_header.php

    <?php
    // Article calendar
    if ( bp_is_blog_page() ) :  //  if it returns true, it's not a BP page.
	
    if (!is_page() && !is_search()) : ?>
	<div class="calendar event_date">
		<span class="month"><?php echo strtoupper(get_the_date('M')); ?></span>
		<span class="day"><?php echo get_the_date('d'); ?></span>
		<span class="year"><?php echo get_the_date('Y'); ?></span>
	</div>
    <?php endif; 
           endif; // ending bp_is_blog_page ?>

    <h1 class="entry-title">
        <?php if ( is_single() ) :  ?>
            <?php the_title(); ?>
        <?php else : ?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
			 <?php endif; ?>
    </h1>

Hi,

Is this what you guys looking for?

http://webavenue.com.au/buddypress-activity-sidebarwidget/

The above plugin does not exist and the code must be outdated.

I am on Buddypress 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.6. I want to remove Activity from the member profile. I was able to style it out by placing the following into my childtheme CSS file:

#user-activity {
display: none;
}

I then made my Profile tab display first using the following in bp-custom.php:

// define the profile tab that opens by default
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );

So activity does not appear, however if you type in the URL: mysite/members/username/activity the Activity stream is still there.

Any best practices for getting rid of Activity in the Profile.
I also want to make changes to the main Activity stream and Group Activity stream so a point to good resources would be great.

@rameshwormaharjan
Why try to reinvent the wheel? Try this:

BuddyPress Sitewide Activity Widget

If that doesn’t work for you then at least study the code to see where you are going wrong.

hnla, valuser and I are long-time acquaintances 😉

@valuser Could be the missing opening and closing divs. Not going to be as easy as BP template pack IMHO 🙂

We could try the alternative way for theme compatibility which is creating one file to take care of all the BuddyPress pages. So backup the buddypress/groups/index.php you made and delete the index.php along with the BP folders you created from your theme folder in server. Then create a file, buddypress.php and add http://pastebin.com/EsBMTpSG and upload this to the root of your theme folder in server i.e., wordstrap/buddypress.php

Please bear in mind primary purpose of support here isn’t providing solutions for third-party themes.
You’ll need to track down why it isn’t working, and as mercime suggests, create a custom override template for BP screens.
