BuddyPress.org

Unfortunately, you have a theme that is heavy handed with it’s css and is forcing it’s style over the BP css. Theme compatibility is working it’s just that your theme has css that is styling the BP markup in an unflattering light.

Theme compatibility is not perfect. It’s main goal is to get BuddyPress inside a WordPress and function. How it looks can rely on the WordPress as in your case.

You will need to change some of the css in your theme to fit BP inside better.

The simplest approach would to simply remove the markup in /members/single/settings/general.php

I suspect that it’s line 146 the opening if statement for the dynamic sidebar missing a closing statement, but frankly trying to debug a page like that with so many conditionals and formatting that is not optimal is next to impossible, I would be isolating blocks of code and removing them to try and locate the point of error e.g. removing all the sidebar code and seeing if the page ran .

Hi,

open up this file sidebar.php. can be found at buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php

around line 33, you can see this line:

`if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :`

This is the start of sidebar login widget box and below you can see line with the words “Please create an account to get started.”. If you do not want those words appear delete this line around line 37:

`printf( __( ‘Please create an account to get started.’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_signup_page() );`

Just below the line above you can remove the login form and replace your subscription form or whatever.

Hope it helps.

I’m not aware of any great event management plugins for BuddyPress.

Set your users to the Contributor role, not Editor. Contributors can write drafts, but can’t publish.

I also want these people to receive notifications every time a new post is published.

If you specifically mean notifications inside BuddyPress, I’m not aware of any plugins that do this. You’ll have to write something yourself. If you mean notifications more generally, consider using the Jetpack plugin — users can subscribe to your site, and receive email updates when a post is published.

Regardless of what type of notification you meant, you’ll probably have to write some custom code to get it to send a message to your users when e.g. you promote them to Editor.

I see no image. Can you share the link? I suspect these are red herrings coming from some code in the included version of bbPress.

If you aren’t sure, re-download BuddyPress from https://buddypress.org/download/

@grimbog
Is there any ETA when it will be ready for testing?

Hi, I am using this useful plugin named “Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress” to remove link of any fields I want.

This plugin dont come with admin panel, so need to edit the custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress.php file.

After this line:
`$no_link_fields = array( // Enter the field ID of any field that you want to appear as plain, non-clickable text. Don’t forget to separate with commas.`

You can add in the field (field name must match) that need to be linkless:
`’bio’,
‘something’ ,`

This plugin allows you to setup social field too like just enter facebook username or id and it will auto generate the url.

Note: this plugin is old and not update, there is an error with the social field url, but just need to apply this fixed:

Hope it helps.

Hi,

this is a code I use personally, but requires you to edit the bp-groups-actions.php, sorry i do not know how to write function.

open buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-actions.php

around line 150

After this line:
`do_action( ‘groups_group_create_complete’, $bp->groups->new_group_id );`

Add this code:
` $to = “YOUREMAILADDRESS”;
$name= bp_core_get_username(bp_loggedin_user_id());
$groupname = bp_get_new_group_name(bp_get_new_group_id());
$groupurl = bp_get_group_permalink( $bp->groups->current_group );
$subject = “$name created new group $groupname”;
$body = “$name created new group $groupname, visit $groupurl”;
mail($to, $subject, $body);
`

That’s it, when a user hit the Finish create group button this code will send to the email stated address with the newly created group link. use at your own risk. Hope someone better can create a theme function or a plugin for this.

This is needed to keep track of newly created groups to alert you if spammers are creating groups to spam.

Hope it helps.

This is a very very late answer. Might be irrelevant now, but BuddyPress Media has evolved from being a Kaltura port.

It is now a powerful stand alone media manager for BuddyPress.

Regards.

Aaand now it’s randomly working. LOL Maybe it just took time to update after fixing those things? IDK.

Anyway, thanks for all of your hard work. I love BuddyPress!

I pasted it into the WP Edit CSS section and got an error for lines 53 and 55. I think the <b and need to be deleted.

But I’m still having the same problem. lol

I just realized that my individual groups do not display properly/aren’t responding to the CSS adjustments. Any idea why that could be or what I could add to the CSS?

Thanks! 🙂
