Then you could search on those types like so:
bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&action=video_category' )
More info: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/#filtering-examples
I have add 2 new columns in activity mysql table “video_category” and “video_subcategory”.
Adding new columns is not a good approach.
Did you try adding your ‘categories’ as a type via
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_activity_add/ ?
In my site to upload youtube videos in activity I’m using https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/ I have modified the code, so the user could select video category. I have add 2 new columns in activity mysql table “video_category” and “video_subcategory”. That works just fine.
The problem is that now I want to make activity feed searchable via categories and subcategories that I used.
To filter activity feed I used this code in function.php
if ($_POST['select_name'] === 'category_name') {
(bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ).'&search_terms=category_name' ) );
}
It looks like that ( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ).’&search_terms=category_name’ ) search only in mysql Activity table “content” column. But I want to search from my new columns “video_category” and “video_subcategory”. Because when i tried to add video category name in ‘content’ search is working just fine, but I want to search not in content column, but from my new ones.
Any ideas how could I achieve that?
it would be incredibly helpful to add dividers or typographical rules/hierarchy to the buddypress.org documentation ‘subpages’ panel
And that is exactly the sort of thing that is being worked on as part of the codex initiative, you can see what is proposed by following posts on bpdevel, the BP development blog. It does take time to get changes, even to this degree, tested and pushed up to the production site, bp.org is actually a more complex site setup than might be realised and it’s codebase handles all the BP and bbP sites and access is very limited to these sites as they run on WP servers and time is quite tight for the lead developers.
BP Trac has a current ticket and patches addressing a few issues one of which is the Codex page menu to both introduce a sectional page menu and typographical styles to denote parent/child links so things are clearer
@timrourke
I agree that it should be easier to find and should be very obvious. New visitors on buddypress.org probably won’t realize that you have to hover over the “BuddyPress.org” link to the left of the “My Sites” link to find the “Create New Topic”link. Hopefully in the future this will be changed.
Not trying to be mean, but seriously, it’s nearly impossible to find the ‘create a new post’ link on the support page.
Also, why on earth do search results show a whole first post from the returned series of threads? Makes it nearly impossible to quickly scan through a list of returned posts to find the content you’re looking for. The search results should ONLY include the name of the original post and 200 or so characters from the relevant search result, IF that.
Finally, while I’m ranting, it would be incredibly helpful to add dividers or typographical rules/hierarchy to the buddypress.org documentation ‘subpages’ panel. Just toss in an HR after each list item, right now it looks like they all run together, lol. Can’t read them at all.
Hi i have installed BuddyPress and some of the buttons i cannot see because they are in white writing, if you go to my site and look http://platformsportsmanagement.com/register/ at the bottom where it is supposed to say NEXT after you filled out your register information is in white and i cannot change it. Can anyone help?
I am still trying to figure out how to mad buddypress so the group title becomes the page title and the broup description becomes the meta name =description thing.
I pointed out what some people have suggested here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/groups-title-meta-description-duplicate-blank/
But no one has suggested what is best practices, or if any of those solution work.
I see that wp 4.1 has a new feature:
<title> tags in themes
add_theme_support( ‘title-tag’ ) tells WordPress to handle the complexities of document titles.
Would this make it easier to put something somewhere where buddypress can make a page title and meta description, or make it easier for admins to add some code to fix or something?
Perhaps next buddypress will make this a default fix with this new wordpress title thing, and give an option for group admins to adjust page title / meta name description?
Hi. I’m having the same problem. Unfortunately I’m not too experienced at this stuff so most of the fixes suggested are over my head. Any simpler explanations??? I’m using buddypress with wplms theme. I’ve set the registration page to register with wplms. Thanks so much!
Hi there,
I ma experiencing a weird issue on my site and I would appreciate any help!
I’ve installed both bbPress and BuddyPress on my site and recently I noticed that the notifications are not working correctly.
Here is what happen: If user “B” replies on user “A” comment, user “A” is getting notification only if he has started the topic. If the topic is started by user “B” or anyone else, user “A” won’t get any notification inside the site (at least email is sent to user “A” email).
Same will happen is user “A” replies to user “B” comment – he will get notification only if the topic is started by user “B”.
Anyone with the same or similar issue?
I am running the latest versions of all plugins, theme and core.
Thank you and happy holidays to all of you!
Stefan
Please, don’t mention a user without a link to what you’re speaking about.
There is no specific donation plugin for BP so far i know. You can of course try some of the existing for WordPress, but i’ve no idea if one of them integrates well.
Maybe an alternative solution with myCred, who is adapted to BuddyPress and has such a feature.

I would like to use a donation plugin and then be able to show how much was donated alongside the user’s profile.
Also it will be nice to have a page to display all donors with amounts.
The donated amount can look like a Badge and be updated dynamically based on donations made – allowing admin to also edit it in case there is any physical donation made also.
Wordpress 4.0.1
Buddypress Version: 2.1.1
@jgwolfensberger has @mercime indicated it good to go. Thanks BuddyPress Team for all your hardwork. I would encourage you James to have a local install especially if you attempting to configure BuddyPress. It has an extreme learning curve to configure it for your particular community needs.
In my opinion, easier to create demo members/groups..,etc to see the settings work and perm ink structures you need to set before going n live site.
How will the ‘tags’ be used?
As the basis for filtering members?
Or just as ‘notes’ about each member?
If the former, see the BP_User_Query codex page.
If the latter, you could use this premium plugin: BuddyNotes
Or you could simply create template overloads of these 2 files:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\profile-loop.php
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\edit.php
And check the fields via their id or name and then decide, based on who the logged-in user is, whether the fields should be displayed.
I’m working with a client who is an author. She is starting a website as a way to market her book.
She wants to add a way for her audience to interact with each other. Buddypress seems like the way to go, but I haven’t used it before.
To keep the different plugins and Buddypress functions from conflicting, I’m thinking it might be a good idea to install Buddypress on a different subdomain, separate from her main site, with links between. I can make the design match between the two sites and link between them without installing all the same plugins on both sites.
Any feedback on that idea? Do you see me heading for trouble that I don’t know about?
Hi thanks for the confirmation @emineminero here are few suggestions:
1) As you have multisite the 1st thing i would like to suggest you is to go through the following guide
2) Make sure your permalink structure is set to sitename.com/sample-post-name even if its set to as suggested try to rebuild it(for doing this just goto dashboard>>settings>>permalinks and simply save the permalink structure one more time)
3) I think the issue is related to this thread and may be you will find something productive there.
Note: Make sure you have set the pages for registration and activate in dashboard>>settings>>buddypress>>pages tab the pages are needed to be created,just create two pages and name them “register” and “activate” respectively and then set them from dashboard>>settings>>buddypress>>pages tab
Clear browser cache and check for the changes.
Thanks
Thanks Renato! I still have an issue with having so many features to our BuddyPress site that a staged site test is not likely to truly weigh the impact of high user activity navigating our many features. But yes, absolutely, it is the proper first step, I agree!
Take also in mind that BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.
FYI, about the first point
buddypress probably does not support sites in non-root folders.
It’s not probably, but sure ! 😉
This is indicated on the requirement codex page
Anyway, glad you got it and thank you for sharing the solution. 😉
I solved it as follows
* first buddypress probably does not support sites in non-root folders.
That means that if you have a site in localhost/somesite/wp-contents… etc it will not work
* the problem was not the alternate port :8080 in my case…
* solution was creating a virtual host (by reading http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/apache_vhosts.php , just adding rules for 8080 in my case instead of just just 80)
* after that, i went to .htaccess and changed the RewriteBase from /somesite/ to /
and the last RewriteRule . /index.php [L] from . /somesite/index.php [L]
Now it works fine as a top-level site (i used somesite.dev as the host name and use somesite.dev:8080 to access it). Registration and activation now work fine
Hello – thanks for the thread @julianprice … and I hope my input here is useful as well. I’m a longtime WP admin but also administering our first BP site. I’m wondering if BuddyPress aficionados with critical sites recommend holding off on WP 4.1 a couple of weeks to observe compatibility conflicts before upgrading WP to 4.1? Would we consider that a best practice?
I realize a staging site is useful as well, but my challenge is thorough testing on a staged site, which I’m sure other BP admins can relate to.
Thanks to great WP/BP community for all the hard work and cooperation.
James
Hi @ggalipeau I have limited knowledge to help you in particular but thought I would point you to the codex article https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/ which shows it recently updated 3 days ago
I thought we could start a Topic about Beta Testing the next WordPress any conflicts working with BuddyPress. I hope this encourages others to report any Bugs with BuddyPress installed on Development site that may not be developer and open to the general community of any Issues they have run into.
I have an interesting situation I am hoping someone can help me with. I was tasked with merging two sites into a multi-site. The “main” site is NOT BuddyPress. The “sub” site IS BuddyPress. We merged all the users into the Network Users. I can go up to Network users and see all 8000 users there. If a user logs in on the main site, they can navigate to the subsite (i.e.: the BuddyPress) site just fine.
However, today I saw a “Pending” notification at the subsite (i.e.: the BuddyPress) site. However, when I go to the BuddyPress site and click on the Users -> Pending, I get the message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” I am an Administrator on the BuddyPress site and a SuperAdmin on the Network.
I’ve also set the define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 8 ); in my wp-config file.
I’ve researched all over the internet on how to set BuddyPress up as a subsite only (i.e.: not at the Network). There is confusing information out there whether this is possible or not. I am very afraid to activate BuddyPress at the Network level because we absolutely don’t want it for the “main” site.
Please, someone let me know if/how this setup is possible?
