BuddyPress.org

Hello,

I am new to BuddyPress and currently having this issue on my website. I understand that it will be fixed in the next version, but how can I fix it right now so my members will not have this issue? I’m not sure I understand what Trunk is. Hopefully someone can help!

I will suggest going via the user meta route. You can add a user meta to define type of user. that will give you a lot of flexibility in future while searching/listing users.

Chouf1,

Merci pour ta réponse ! Je suis désolé, je continue en Français mais ça sera plus simple pour moi de comprendre et d’expliquer ma problématique… En fait, tu me conseilles d’installer BP User Profile Map (ce que j’ai fait, je passais avant par une solution codée à la main qui nécessitait une clé pour l’API de GG Maps donc je vais abandonner ça) et de laisser les utilisateurs rentrer eux-même leur pays manuellement lors de l’inscription ou de l’édition de leur profil ?

Cette solution m’a effectivement l’air séduisante mais pour les villes surtout, qui sont effectivement impossibles à toutes recenser. Penses-tu qu’il soit possible de dire au plugin de prendre en compte deux profile fields au lieu d’un (Ville + Pays) ? De manière à ce qu’il localise encore mieux, et pour éviter les erreurs (il existe des villes qui ont le même nom dans des pays différents).

Pour l’intégration d’une liste de pays dans BuddyPress, j’ai suivi le process décrit ici :
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-a-country-drop-down-list-in-profile-field/#post-147697

J’en suis à l’étape de copier coller une liste des pays du monde dans mon fichier CSV extrait de ma BDD, mais je bloque sur les ID par pays : dois-je les étendre simplement sous Excel ? J’ai peur en faisant ça de me retrouver avec un ID de pays identique à un ID d’autre chose de mon WordPress (ID de post, ID de catégorie ou autre)… ça serait problématique ?

Merci pour ton aide et désolé pour l’emploi du Français.

The code above that goes in bp-custom.php blocks only buddypress specific pages from being viewed by logged out visitors. The plugin should block the wp post and pages. the bp-custom.php with the code and the plugin can be used together to block everything from logged out visitors.

@modemlooper – Thanks for posting this link!

Have you found a solution for the current version of Buddypress to remove posts from the activity stream?

This is a WP factor not a Buddypress one. Look into the use of the ‘more tag’ used to split posts where you wish within the post body. The WP codex is your friend for questions like this.

I have the same problem. I’m testing the software so my host is http://localhost:8888 (using mamp). Once installed, the only way to move forward is by using the accompanying Buddypress Default Theme.

When trying to use the Setup process with another theme enabled, the Save button in the setup after install for Buddypress isn’t there.

Isn’t there a way to use other themes with this software?

Just installed 1.7, this was a first time install of bp
Using a Genesis Theme

All of the the pages in settings including Activation are working fine, however whenever I setup a confirmation page, when I try to go to that page it fwd’s directly back to first page of the site?

Originally I did have the “anyone can register” unchecked, however after reading on trac, I have checked that, even deleted bp and re-activated still not having any luck with the confirmation page?

Any thoughts

What theme are you using?

What version of BuddyPress?

See if this is your case: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4834

You can do that by easily filtering on this hook
`
bp_get_add_friend_button
`
If you can provide the code you are using to differentiate a user type(parents/student/professor), It will be super easy to put the complete code.

@angelgirl94,

I am glad that what I offered worked as a temporary fix.

However, you would be much better off learning from the other guys who posted, they are proper Buddypress developers.

It is a known issue and some of the temporary possible solutions are mentioned on the ticket here.

Please have a look
