BuddyPress.org

@rosyteddy,

snippets published on the forum are generally related to a specific topic/question. And of course, dependant of theme and/or bp version, if not php or mysql or server settings. Over the time, they stop working or can’t be used anymore because the Core changed or because of other evolutions….

Despite having a kind of snippet store accessible by forum menu seems to be a usefull idea, it is not. Each usage case is different and can not be extended to all case. FYI information, i had the same idea a few years back, and was quickly discouraged to do so by our Core dev. I was first disapointed, but i finally had to admit they where right. And today, i’m absolutely persuaded and on the same line.

That’s why you have Codexes. For WP, BP or bbP with general explanation of default usage and more rarely, with usage examples. If you find a snippet example in Codex, in 95% of cases, you have to adapt it to your personnal usage.

To answer your question, as you know, BuddyPress is (only) a WordPress plugin. When installed, the site continue to work with WordPress and WP dashboard. Nothing is modified in WP Core, only that BP was added to the site. As a plugin.

How to handle WordPress is explained and widly documented in his Codex.
Menu management, CPT management or how to modify menu items on Toolbar or Admin bar is also documented. And the’re so many sites giving WP tips (from excellent to awfull), you can read.

What do your WP settings page ‘general’ show for urls, specifically ‘Site Address (url)’? Did you check the values here after the change over?

WP codex guide on this aspect:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

Did you also visit the permalinks page under ‘settings’, just to ensure permalinks are re-freshed?

This is really a WP support issue as the problems rest with how WP is configured rather than issues specific to BuddyPress working.

@alice-kaye
Go to dashboard/menus and in the top right corner click screen options and make sure the box beside buddypress is checked. Once checked you will see the options to add buddypress items in the edit menus tab. Good luck!

@marketraisen,

the original code is %s posted an update
To modify this the right way, you have to use the language file and an appropriate compilator such as poEdit to generate the mo file.

Don’t know what solution you didn’t found, guess you have to search this forum for translation related topics.

A very dirty solution would be to use this snippet and add it to your child-theme functions.php

function marketraisen_change_bp_update_text( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
		
	if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
	return $translated; 
	
	switch ( $original_text ) {
		case '%s posted an update':
		return '%s posted on';
				
		default:
		return $translated;
	}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'marketraisen_change_bp_update_text', 10, 3 );

@gayatriom,

members are the heart of BuddyPress.
So let members be members and use groups for business. And the business directory is build

As working example, visit one of worldwide most famous site (#3 by visitors) made with BuddyPress: BioWebSpin

You’ll have more chance by asking for this on the plugin support ! 😉

Hi @rosyteddy,

since BP 1.7 theme compatibility was introduced, which allowed the use of almost every theme on a BP powered site. Previously, you could practicaly only use bp-default theme. Since bp-default was removed (7569) from the install package, that theme lives his own life. A few time later, it was decided to publish the source code of the bp-default custom theme used on bp.org…

I wonder then why BP is not releasing this as a default theme for BP!

Don’t wonder ! Because devs wanted to concentrate on their plugin, not on a specifical theme. It tooks hard working to isolate bp-default. And certainly not to introduce a new one today. 😉

You have access to the source code. You’re free to use it and to skin it to your needs.

If you don’t see colors or any other elements, you have to check your work and redo it if you comes if you have errors or omissions.

Difficult to tell you what you did wrong. IMO nothing, but if you’re mixing your theme and bp-default à la bp.org, you missed probably somethings.

If you don’t know how to do this, you can hire somebody on BP Job Board forum.

Hi @alexterchum and @sbrajesh
I think Alex is right.
The other BuddyPress Notifications disappears when user visit the page.
Also the others notifications generated with the others plugins that sbrajesh has developped (BP Group Activities Notifier and BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier) run well.
For example if the USER A send a message to USER B, USER B receive one notification.
When USER B visit the page whin the message (http://URLWEBSITE/members/USER-NAME/messages/view/xx/) – clicking in the notification or by other way… – the notification will be dissapear.
Also in the page http://URLWEBSITE/members/USER-NAME/notifications/, when user visit the page with the message, the message automatically will go to the section UNREAD and it is not necessary that the user must to mark as READ the message in order to dissapear the notification.

I have the same problem with FORUM notification (using https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-forum-notifier).

sbrajesh, can you solve the problem in the plugin “BuddyPress Notify Post Author on Blog Comment”?

Thank’s very much
