BuddyPress.org

Take a look at this topic:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults/#post-55449

I set a custom tab as the default for my internal collaboration system based on BP, can’t recall exactly how I did it but the above topic looks about right.

@enriksen –
To ‘do’ shortcodes in different content areas, you will need to filter do_shortcode() into certain functions. See the WordPress codex for documentation on do_shortcode() https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode and add_filter: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter

To add it to the activity stream, you’ll want to add
`add_filter(‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘do_shortcode’); // Adds shortcodes to activity content.`

Xprofile is similar:
`add_filter(‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘do_shortcode’); // Adds shortcodes to xprofile content.`

You can find a list of filters in BuddyPress in bp-{component}/bp-{component}-filters in the buddypress files.
eg: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php

Remember that this will allow all shortcodes to be used [which is why it’s not on by default], currently there is no way to pick and choose what shortcodes to allow short of using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/.

I see that you’ve also posted at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-activity-plus-impossible-to-upload-a-picture-and-add-link-not-working

a) It could be that the Activity Plus plugin needs to be updated or
b) it is also possible that you’ve maxed out the default network settings for that blogsite. Did you get any warning of that sort?
– Go to Network Admin > Dashboard and click on Settings > Network Settings and check if there was any limitation set there in “Site Upload Space Quota” section
or
– Go to Network Admin > Sites and click on the “Edit” link below the blog/site where BP is installed i.e., where you’re using the Activity Plus plugin. Click on the Settings tab and in the panel which shows up, look to the very bottom of that page, check “Site Upload Space Quota” if it was left blank to default
c) could also be that another plugin has set the upload space quota
d) could also be just another plugin conflicting with the activity plus plugin.

@stobywan I’ve closed https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-not-working-5/ I have answered you here but you did not respond. Per that topic, registration stopped working after you upgraded to BP 1.6.4.

Please explain exactly what the bottleneck is for your registration.
– Can registrant complete registration process in your site?
– Is your installation sending activation emails or not?
– Is the registrant receiving the activation email or not?

@stobywan – Please don’t create new threads, there is a response that is waiting for an answer at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-form-not-submitting-2/

You’re more likely to get a response via answering the questions there. By not responding to questions, those who are attempting to help assume that it is fixed and move on and help others.

@chrchcol – this seems like the same issue – http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-when-trying-to-access-group-forums-in-buddypress

From Jeff in that thread:

Thanks so much for all of your input… turns out all that I needed to do was re-do the setup for the forums pointing it to the old bb-config.php file.

After completing that step, all the forums worked again without a hitch and no data was lost.

@patrykos360 tell your friend to post here, NEW TOPIC. Nothing to lose. We’ll see if the theme’s code would allow us to implement it painlessly

Information on what theme is being used would be good. It may be that we have already template-packed the theme already. If not, then we’ll ask for the codes. You know the drill 🙂

Benzine,

I am searching another issue and see your issue and thought I may provide a solution because I ran into the same issue.  I couldn’t see any way to change or alter user profiles after entered.  I couldn’t see the fields which you think would be an easy thing, but highly annoying to learn that I couldn’t.  A solution…

I am using the Gravity Forms plugin.  The problem is, the plugin is $50, but the only way to get their user registration add-on is to purchase the developer edition which is $200.  It works with Buddypress and User Registration very nicely.  You can go through your Gravity Form entries and make all of the edits to user profiles that you need.  I wish I knew of a less expensive solution, but Gravity Forms is a nice plugin and I’m sure you will find other uses for it on your site!

Lunchgirl did you ever resolve this issue. every since I upgraded to 1.6.4 the same happened to me, all the sudden my registration page just reloads and clears the password fields and the user is not added. ;(

You don’t need to copy the entire theme. If you are talking BP-Default you can simply create a child theme and do your changes there.

https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ is a great start to learn about this.

Just as a check have you turned on forums and installed BBPress? Or is this the only step you have done?

https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ may help you with this if you’ve not followed all the steps.

@lynneab you would want to go multisite with a subdomain or subdirectory. Just define that your BP will run on the subsite/secondary blog https://codex.buddypress.org/user/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

can you have only friends online option to increase the privacy to users

@fordp The @DCraft11 account looks like it has all the proper capabilities. Are you able to log into Freenode server in IRC and join #buddypress-dev to privately message more information back and forth?

Closing this duplicate of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/word-documents-stopped-appearing-except-in-chrome-and-with-errors/

@mbyrne please post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-docs

@jwf3773 – Howdy. I know you’re new here, and we’re happy to have you around, but… you’re doing it wrong. 🙂

Boone is a core BuddyPress developer, but his plugins aren’t indicative of the BuddyPress project as a whole. If you’re trying to get a hold of Boone, there are way better ways to do that than claiming the sky is falling everywhere.

Going to close this topic, since it’s unlikely to go very far from here. Hope you have a great rest of your stay here at BuddyPress.org. 🙂
