I want to hide specific users from the “(BuddyPress) Recently Active Members” & “(BuddyPress) Members” widgets (latter one is most important for me), but I don’t want these users from the members directory. So what does the below code exactly do? Does it exclude users from members directory or the widgets? Or both?

<?php
// Remove admin from directory

add_action('bp_ajax_querystring','bpdev_exclude_users',20,2);
function bpdev_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false){
 //list of users to exclude
 
 $excluded_user='1';//comma separated ids of users whom you want to exclude
 
 if($object!='members')//hide for members only
 return $qs;
 
 $args=wp_parse_args($qs);
 
 //check if we are listing friends?, do not exclude in this case
 if(!empty($args['user_id']))
 return $qs;
 
 if(!empty($args['exclude']))
 $args['exclude']=$args['exclude'].','.$excluded_user;
 else
 $args['exclude']=$excluded_user;
 
 $qs=build_query($args);
 
 return $qs;
 
}

//Remove admin from member count

add_filter('bp_get_total_member_count','bpdev_members_correct_count');
function bpdev_members_correct_count($count){
$excluded_users_count=1; //change it to the number of users you want to exclude
return $count-$excluded_users_count;
}
?>

Hi Xevo,

It depends how much you can code.
You can add one using the bp_core_new_subnav_item() function.
Let me know if you want more help – you should be able to find more info if you google it.

This is a good example:
Add tab to profile

bp_is_profile is used to test if its a profile page. try that in a conditional.

Have you tried confirming this behavior on a fresh install? If so i’d put in a trac ticket otherwise you’re probably going to be on your own for that one. It’s possible your import process is the root of the cause.

in buddypress settings under Groups Settings and the heading Group Creation un-check the box that says “Enable group creation for all users”

I personally think a media option should’ve been in the core since the start. All the plugins that have been made are cool and all, but most of them are really big and bloaty or are premium.

A simple media option in buddypress which can be added upon by plugins would be a much better way to go in my personal opinion.

Hi, I’m trying to get BuddyPress running, and I can see the activate account page, but I don’t have an activation key. Nothing was sent. How do I re-trigger this?

@afjsystem confirming issue exists. There’s a trac ticket for this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5105

@fideldonson no problem

Backup all tables in site’s database and you’re fine. But also check if there’s a bp-custom.php file in wp-content/plugins/ in server, and back that up if there’s one.

You can remove the status update box in different ways. It just depends on whether you’re using a WordPress theme or BP Default child theme.

@valuser better to post this in BP Trac. Not sure that this would be added to core though. It’d be up to the devs. Just curious, BP Activity Plus plugin is not working for you?

@envieme
I can’t recall it but I have seen this issue on the forums before when it dealt with importing members and not respecting the default profile visibility. Maybe a search through the forums will help and if I am not wrong it was resolved so maybe doing a search can help. If not perhaps another volunteer will provide you a better solution. Good luck!

untested:

$activity_action = sprintf( __( '%1$s wroteDD a new post, %2$s, in %3$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>', get_the_category_list( ', ', '', $post->ID ) );

@caspergrimaldi
Please give more complete info on your install. You mentioning “The plugin” is a guessing game and most of us can only spare a little time here and there and we don’t have time to ask every user to provide the details they should have provided when they first opened their thread. Most of the threads you see that no one has answered yet is largely because of this. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
As @hnla has advised you may want to consider hiring a developer. They usually have more advanced knowledge of the things that can be problematic to most novices.

@kubrix
It means you need to assign those pages if you already have them in dashboard/settings/buddypress/pages then use the dropdown menu’s to associate the pages and save. Else you need to create those pages. I would assume those pages are there since you have members so it is just a matter of associating them.

@kenstansmith
A quick search provided all of these related threads. You should be able to find something in one of them that will point you in the right direction.

@eve-oliveri
Also just to reiterate I signed up and activated an account on your site without an issue other than some crummy CSS in the fields and that was with the theme you was using. Maybe you need to clear your browsers cache and cookies.

@eve-oliveri
I can’t speculate what it is but maybe your themes author could help since we now have established it is a theme issue and not a BuddyPress issue.

@eve-oliveri
Follow up, I just registered and activated an account on your site with no issue’s so if another volunteer would be willing to do the same to confirm my findings. Thanks!

@eve-oliveri
Have you tried activating a known theme that works with BuddyPress like Twenty Twelve or bp-default? This has been covered on the forums before on many occasions so do a search for similar topics. If after activating a known theme that works with BuddyPress and you still have an issue then let us know. More than likely your issue is related to your theme.

Have a read of this guide to how BP uses templates in theme compatibility mode and how to overload templates so they can be edited in your theme folder.
