BuddyPress.org

no it’s only a cache error if you had installed a caching plugin in the first place, unless you have tweaked your server in some arcane manner – get rid of the caching plugin they are a bloody nuisance, use it when you’re live if you really need to but then not for dynamic pages which BP’s mainly are.

BP uses page.php in theme compat mode where the user name is injected into the WP title() function – or you can override that template file with your own located under either ‘community’ or ‘buddypress’ in your theme root, further to that you can replace the use of /members/single/home.php with index.php and variations of that as explained in the codex; lastly you could be running the older bp-default templates in which case you may have /members/ in your theme root which BP will detect and assume an override of theme compatibility mode is required.

Going to be hard to help when you provide so little information 😉

Be a little more or a lot more specific about what issues you are having generalisations aren’t too helpful on technical forums or on technical matters.

Theme in use ? Versions of installed apps?

How have you created this ‘Template’ is it a copy of a current page.php template from your theme?

BuddyPress css is specific to BP screens not any other template that may be created outside it’s knowledge, if I created a page ‘community.php’ and stuck a load of BP functions or loops in that they wouldn’t inherit any particular styling, however BP styles are pseudo namespaced with a ancestor token #buddypress so if you add that ID to an element in your template at a fairly high level such as just after something like #content you might then inherit some styles if rendered BP elements have the usual classes they need.

Please contact your host, about server user permissions this isn’t a buddypress or application issue. You could try logging into your hosting account and cpanel or similar control panel and perhaps trying this from whatever file editor it provides.

Please use the code button to format code you paste into this forum.

To remove the count…
Assuming you aren’t using a language translation file, try this in your bp-custom.php file.

function john_gettext( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {

    if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
           return $translated;

    switch ( $original_text ) {
        case 'All Members <span>%s</span>':
            return 'All Members';

        default:
            return $translated;
    }
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'john_gettext', 20, 3 );

@joetheboss1998 First, please do not edit core files as these will be overwritten when you upgrade BuddyPress. Second, you’re looking at the wrong file.

Create a folder named buddypress at the root of your active theme/child theme folder then copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.1.1/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php and place that within the buddypress folder created earlier following the directory structure, i.e., wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder/buddypress/members/register.php

This helps a lot thanks!! I tried activity plus, but I didnt like the way it posted to the activity feed. Just posting the URL into the activity form that is standard with Buddypress works great for audio or video, but for some reason image URLs do not post. I would also like the option for the user to upload images. I dont want them to upload video since I heard the size of the video can cause other complications. I will try rtmedia. Hopefully I can find a way to customize it to only allow the user to upload images – and still post video via youtube or another site.

Do you have any estimate for when mediapress will be available?

No. It goes into your template. So for example, if you wanted to display the count in your member profile header, then you’d put it in member-header.php.

Take a look at this article for more info on the BP template hierarchy for how to set up templates (if you don’t have them already).

Hi @enigmaweb

You have a couple of options regarding your requirements here.

1. You could try searching the Plugin Directory to see if anything is available that meets your needs. If nothing then you could try option 2…

2. Implement a custom solution yourself. Restricting content is fairly easy if you make use of some WordPress functions such as current_user_can() and wp_redirect(). You’ll also need to make yourself familiar with hooks. Here’s a very basic example of how to restrict content depending on a particular user’s role.

function my_restrict_content() {

    // Check if the current page is the group creation page AND the currently logged-in user is a subscriber
    if ( bp_is_group_create() && current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) )
        return;

    // If we get to here, the current user is not authorised to view this content so redirect them to the homepage.
    wp_redirect( home_url() );
    exit;
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_restrict_content' );
