Hi @landwire
This isn’t possible right now, but it’s a great idea. You should open a feature request on Trac to see what the core developers think.
Hi there,
is it yet possible to use the member type in the members slug? So instead of:
/members/%username%/
I would like to have have:
/members/%member-type%/%username% ?
If not, are there any plans to add this functionality? Basically having a ‘slug’ parameter for the Member Types API, that then gets recognised by BuddyPress, when asking for a certain user profile…
Thanks,
Sascha
Hi @joenyland
You will need to use validation. Validation is a way of checking what information is received from the user before it’s saved to the database. This can be achieved via a filter such as bp_signup_validate.
For more info on filter hooks in WordPress and BuddyPress, check out this article:

@danbp True indeed, but with my previous setup with BuddyPress 1.9.2 I was able to control the spam registrations since they were never activated (I used BuddyPress Pending Activations to manually activate new users) and therefore they could never log in. They were not seen in the activity stream either.
This is my setup: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/create-private-membership-site-with-buddypress/
I’ve now upgraded s2Member which had no effect, and also deactivated the BuddyPress Automatic Friends plugin which didn’t have any effect either. The new user shows up as pending in the Users screen for about 1 minute after registration, but is then automatically activated.
Spam is an endless plague… and there is no radical solution, but only a set of combination for minimizing it, or at least to slow down that phenomenon..
For example, changing the default wp_ table prefix is a good practice which i would recommand to any site owner touched (or not yet) by spammers.
Even if you already use another prefix, but spammers found your site, you have to modify it again. Sounds a bit stupid, but the gain will be effective for a while.
Other tips are avaible on WP Codex.
In some case, you would prefer to use a plugin. See BuddyPress Registration Option.
But in any case, you have to found your own combination.
Hi!
I recently upgraded my site with a new theme (BuddyBoss Boss. theme) and am running WP 4.1.1 and upgraded from BuddyPress 1.9.2 to 2.2.1.
I have a setup where I redirect the activation e-mail to the site admin to be able to manually control new members and verify their information before activating them and letting them log in. This is a cruical function for my site since it’s a private network.
After the upgrade I noticed that some spam users were automatically activated and able to log in without my manual activation. The users are automatically activated, the same issue as @RussAdams is experiencing. I’ve tried deactivating a few plugins (BuddyPress Pending Activations, BuddyPress Auto Group Join) but this issue persists. In BuddyPress 1.9.2, everything was working as expected.
Browser sessions doesn’t seem to be the issue since clearly people on other computers have been able to create accounts which were automatically activated as well.
This is a very serious issue for my site since I no longer have the control over new users and spam users can log in after activating. Did you get this sorted out?
For some reason the site title doesn’t display the domain name in any section of buddypress.
Funny enough in the feeds that it displays in the head, they display the sites title.
Right now my title looks like this.
<title>Username – Profile – Edit –</title>
When it should look like this
<title>Username – Profile – Edit – domain name</title>
I would like to actually remove all the feeds from my head, as I don’t actually want feeds on the website.
I have created my own script for blocking non members from viewing members profiles. So removing the feeds is the next step.
I can’t seem to remove profile feeds or mention feeds or any of the other. The only feed I have managed to remove from the head is the sitewide feed.
remove_action( 'bp_head', 'bp_activity_sitewide_feed');
@ratethetrainers Go to wp-admin menu Settings > BuddyPress > Settings and uncheck “Toolbar – Show the toolbar for logged out users”
Hi there,
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I have not been able to find a good answer in the forums.
I am running WP v4.2 beta1, and BP v2.2.1. website is snappysurvey.com (in development)
I am wondering if there is a plugin that will integrate with buddypress and include a link on the /members/ pages. I want a customized form for each user that they can update as often as they like. The community is exclusive to apartment managers; I want them to input static information about their properties (e.g. # of 1-bed and 2-bed units, year of construction, location, etc.) that never changes. Then, I want them to have dynamic fields that they can update once a week (e.g. current occupancy, rent charges by unit type, etc.). So therefore, the static fields will remain the same (i.e. become a template) for each user’s posts, with dynamic fields that reset can be overwritten. I want to be sure that this information is being tracked by my database. I also want users to be able to view and export (.xlsx or .csv) files from other users.
I know it is a lot to ask, but maybe not unrealistic?? Does anyone know of an existing plugin that will support this? It seems like Gravity Forms, Formidable Forms and Form Craft come close, but not quite sure if these can accomplish what I am looking for.
Any help is appreciated!
Okay first I do have a suggestion, remove the textarea resize in buddypress.js. This is a really annoying feature. Reason, say I create a long post and want to resize the textbox, it snaps back to the 20px height all the time.. Click out of the text box just once to say, copy some text from somewhere, and you are back to scrolling to the position you want to find after you have re-seized the box at least twice to make it actually stick. As you are making this work for all themes practically, it would be a very good idea to do this.
I have had to currently force the min height to 60px, which is approx 3 lines of text.
textarea#whats-new {
min-height: 60px !important;
}
This still makes it snap back to the min height when I click outside the box. So I resized the box because I wanted to see more text, then you decided to shrink it on me? I don’t think that is a good option..
Also the button underneath, I have a larger button than your predefined button so, having to force the new options area to have overflow hidden and a new hight so my button isn’t cut in half.
div#whats-new-content div#whats-new-options {
overflow: hidden;
height: 56px !important;
}
Now my only problem is the js script that keeps resizing my text box, How can I stop it doing this without editing the buddypress.js?
Thanks for reading and hope you change these options.
@saish_neugi the Plugin Private Buddypress works well also. It isn’t being updated anymore, but I’ve tested it and still works without errors.
@henrywright – Reset to twenty thirteen so standard theme.
Im looking to include old posts on users profiles — buddypress only shows updates (including new posts) since the buddypress plugin was installed/activated.
I think I need a way to create activity stream events for those old posts, as our users have hundreds of posts that are now not showing when someone visit their buddypress profile page…
Hey, Danbp, thanks for your reply.
I removed the plugin “RS Buddypress Activity Refresh” and now I haven’t none plugin of this type. I activated in buddypress/setting the voice “refresh page” and I waited for 10 seconds but the page don’t refreshered, how can resolve?
none of you had the same problem
Thanks and bye bye
And what is the problem ? With or without BuddyPress, you login to WordPress. 🙄
Perhaps reading this will help
Register and Activation Pages
Assuming its WP 4.1.1 Multisite and BP 2.1.1
Go to wp-content/plugins/buddypress
Find and use the buddypress.pot file to create (for example, by Poedit
buddypress-hu_HU.po
buddypress-hu_HU.mo
[name the files exactly as above if hu_HU is your language]
1. Create /wp-content/languages/plugins
2. Place these two files there
buddypress-hu_HU.po
buddypress-hu_HU.mo
Refresh, F5 and see your site again.
On my member page, there is a search button, but no place to click and type the search.
Members
WordPress 4.1.1
BuddyPress 2.2.1
Hueman 2.2.2 Theme
So I’m using BuddyPress with Truemag. I want to just show a simple username, password login form – I don’t want it to be redirected to the WordPress login.
I’ve put the BuddyPress login menu item in my TrueMag menu – but when I click on it, it asks me to log into WordPress right now
As stated by the plugin decription:
The JavaScript file “refresh.js” will send every 10 seconds an ajax request to wp-load.php to get the new activities.
If you still have trouble after 10 seconds, you preferably ask about this on the plugin support.
Note also that the plugin is compatible up to: 3.8 / 1.8.1 so it may no more work today !
SPQR !
Sorry, info as follows:
Wordpress: 4.1.1
Buddypress: 2.1.1
I’m developing it on localhost, so no website link yet.
bp-languages folder doesn’t exist in BP 2.x
If your WP use hungarian language, when you install BP, the BuddyPress translation comes automatically from translate-wordpress.org into wp-content/languages/plugins/, which contains also by default the askimet translation.
Also, php gettext use the compiled mo format to show a translation. The po file is only used to translate.
Much more about translation in this topic.
