BuddyPress.org

I need your help!

I have a wordpress-site with both the buddypress plugin and the Ultimate Member plugin installed. The problem is that i would like to use only the group portion of buddypress and the rest from Ultimate Memeber.

The problem is that they both use the same user account, they do have diffrent profiles. I could disable the profile page, but this is still leaves a problem for my Group page where if you would click on a user’s name it would try to go to said profile. I would want it instead of going to the buddy press profile page, it would go to the ultimate member page.

How would i achieve this or is this even possible?

Many thanks

I want to have a Network where the registered users can get their own sites (That I have done already by installing WordPress Multisites)

Now I want to have BuddyPress so all the registered users can use Groups, Messaging and more.

What I’m not sure, where should I activate Buddypress? On the Network (site.domain/wp-admin/network/plugins.php) or only on the Main Site (site.domain/wp-admin/plugins.php)?

I also want (And had problems getting this to work before) that on the main site, for example when someone goes into the Activity page, you can not only see there when they create a Group, or publish some message, but also if they posted an entry on theirs sites, that shows also on that Activity page.

Hope you can clarify my what steps to follow to get a site like that working.

Hi there,

I have an up-to-date BuddyPress site and a member sent me a friend request, but the email keeps coming through every few minutes. I now have almost 100 friend requests from this person. I tried accepting her as a friend, but even then, it keeps sending emails.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

James

Hi,

I really like buddypress and bbpress and all the features and modules they offer.

But I’m having a lot a problem finding accurate information about the code and how to do stuff.

I think a good cleanup and update of your documentation to make sure it is clear and easy to navigate would be a must. I keep finding a lot of old information about old version I don’t care about. And I don’t get how that menu work…

Another thing that bothers me is how you assume things instead of giving the webmaster more options.

E.G. That whole mess about the name field. It is almost impossible to change it back to nickname or to first name and last name or to just remove it. I think that there should be a way to control that field and assign it to a WordPress field. E.G. First name = WordPress First name and same thing for last name. Or to use Nickname instead as the display name. I’m building a gaming community, Gamers do NOT want their real name on the internet. And it is a pain to make sure it does not happen.

Also, It would be nice to have more control over who can see private and hidden forum. I used AAM to create 2 new user groups called Member and Admin but Buddypress and BBpress have there own permission system and I can’t make it work like I would like.

So in short:

– Clean up the codex / documentation
– Stop assuming things and give more control to the webmaster
– Custom member groups with granular permission
– Member page made of shortcodes

Thank you for reading my feedback

Hi,

I am having some trouble working out how look at bp method declarations. I want to do this so I can see if there are any helpful comments in code.

For instance I want to use bp_nav_menu(). The documentation says there are various filters and you can use a navwalker but it doesnt say how to use it or what filters it uses so I need to look at code but when I search the buddypress folder for bp_nav_menu it returns no ocurrences.

My IDE says all BP function don’t exist so I guess they are either inside a namespace or a class that is brought into scope at runtime. Is there anyway to call functions with fully qualified path or to know what the fully qualified path is?

Any tips to navigate the code appreciated.
