Thanks for responding.

Re: Pretty Permalinks
I think I was getting mixed up with pretty urls at my smf forum which were a disaster. When I moved my blog I had to change embedded links and that was a nightmare and I was thinking it was due to pretty permalinks since ?I had a nightmare changing links at the forum as well. But my blog does use pretty permalinks and I have them set up on this other WP install as well.

I have just disabled all plugins–checking in between deactivations occasionally. I deactivated Simple:Press last and before that the logout link was still going to the forum index and now it just goes to the members page which is still acting as the front/home page even though I have the page titled HOME selected as being the front page–I checked this again after deactivating all the other plugins.

But partway through I did notice a message only on the members page shown as a small pop-up ONLY when I click chrome in my footer bar and see all the open window options. When I choose to view the wondow in full the message disappears.

<br/> <b>Warning</b>:strstr() [<ahref=’function.strstr’>function.strstr ]: Empty delimiter in <b>/home/…wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php</b> on line <b>781</b> Members | – Google Chrome

I had to take a screen shot of it just to have enough time to read it because the pop-up didn’t stay very long and I had to type it manually here, so I might have messed up the spacing.

The activity, profile, notifications and settings links on the menu go to the same file not found message as before.

My next step will be to uninstall and reinstall through cpanel or ftp. But first I’ll wait and see if anyone else has ideas and come back to it tomorrow.

I just add that I could unset profile public tab:

/* remove subtabs*/
function remove_submenu_item() {
    bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'settings', 'profile' );
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'public' );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'remove_submenu_item', 100 );

But I need to change the Profile landing subnav to avoid 404 page.

I found this piece of code but this only for main tab.

/**
 * Change BuddyPress default Members landing tab.
 */
define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

Thanks Hugo. I found your article on companion styles, but the only thing I found on deregulating the new styles was:

function dequeue_bp_twentyfifteen() {
wp_dequeue_style(‘bp-twentyfifteen’);
}
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘dequeue_bp_twentyfifteen’);

However I’m not using a twentysomething theme.

The current default profile menu runs horizontal across the page

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0PCT5EGd34SN0JIQzdJNWswVEU/edit?usp=drivesdk

But what I’d like is for the profile menu to run vertically down the page under the profile pic (like it does on the Buddypress site itself)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0PCT5EGd34STnhqYnM4NXZSVDQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

Sorry if my pics are not that clear.

Do you still suggest the dequeue code in the function file as the approach I should follow? And if so, should I change the references to be for the theme I’m using instead of 2015?

IF not, is there some other code I should use to restore the old profile template format?

Thanks Hugo!

Thanks dan, I have the all activity on the specific page, but I wanted it in my profile. i ended up seeing this link on buddydev and it’s exactly what I need it to do http://buddydev.com/buddypress/show-buddypress-communitysitewide-activity-on-user-profile/ , I just wish I knew how to default it to that link when clicking on the activity link.

When i hit the activity link, it goes to my personal activity instead of the “all activity” tab. Could you direct me in how I could change the default sub menu tab in activity.

Thanks for your help! Have a wonderful independence day!

Ok since you are my godsend I hate the activity page.. How do I edit the buddypress menu to remove the page from the menu? Matter of fact how do I change the order of the items in the menu? You are the man remember that always

So what appears to be happening is that the Buddybar adopts the slug changes immediately (I’ve just removed the display:none CSS for the main nav tabs on Buddybar to check because I don’t use it).

But the top menu (created via the Menus in WP Dashboard) is where the tabs are disappearing due to the slug changes. Tried with define ( 'BP_MESSAGES_SLUG', 'notes' ); to confirm it wasn’t an isolated effect. All is fine there now though, they just need replacing into the menu via the WP Dash once the slug has been changed and then they appear again.

Are the slugs of subnav tabs changed using the define code too? I haven’t come across it.

Out of interest, have I misunderstood this link where it says the various defines at the bottom are deprecated, or is it just in need of updating? :

Changing Internal Configuration Settings

Hi @bewitchingfiction,

I tried it on some of the default WordPress themes and couldn’t get it to work… and it no-longer works on the previous theme used two years ago when I first configured BuddyPress on our site.

My suggested work-around for you until someone is able to get it going again would be to create a password-protected or private page in WordPress for your mods to chat via the comments function. If you use a plugin that allows menu items to only be shown to mods, then no one will know the page even exists.

I use Nav Menu Roles to manage the visibility of menu items on my site. Unfortunately, it’s not compatible with my theme’s menu… so every time I want to add or change a menu item’s visibility, I have to change to another theme to use it , then change back. Clumsy, but it works! https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/screenshots/

@shanebp

The change to ‘bp_ready’ gets past the “crapstop” but my plugin no longer shows up in the menu. Although i’ve always thought ‘bp_loaded’ was the proper hook here, for the moment i’ll take it.

Here’s the full bit of code. Perhaps i’m not init the class properly here?


function curgi_group_import_init() {

}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'curgi_group_import_init', 20 );


@hugo
Thank you for taking the time to respond. The advice on changing the name in the plugin folder allowed me to get back into the wp-admin log in. After reading what you said about I looked at the ‘Activation’ drop down and it was set to login so I think that is where I went wrong. When I change it to none buddypress informs me ‘The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate. Repair’ what kind of page so I have set for that drop down menu? Do I need an additional plug in or do I just make a new page for it? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you again!

Thank you but your solution is outdated. I’ve found it also while searching.
And thats the big problem with buddypress. There was an update about one year ago and everything changed. So nearly all common customizations do not work any more.

Thats the reason why the plugin ‘buddypress custom profile menu’ also doesn’t function anymore.

Fortunately I found the solution. It looks like this:

function profile_new_nav_item() {

		global $bp;

		bp_core_new_nav_item(
			array(
				'name'                => 'Contact Athlete',
				'slug'                => 'contact_athlete',
				'default_subnav_slug' => 'extra_sub_tab',
				'position'            => 160,
				'screen_function'     => 'view_manage_tab_main'
			)
		);
	}

	add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'profile_new_nav_item', 10 );
	
	// = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

	function view_manage_tab_main() {
		add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'bp_template_content_main_function' );
		bp_core_load_template( 'template_content' );
	}

	function bp_template_content_main_function() {
		if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
			wp_login_form( array( 'echo' => true ) );
		}
	}
	
	// = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

	function profile_new_subnav_item() {
		
		global $bp;

		bp_core_new_subnav_item( 
			array(
				'name'            => 'Extra Sub Tab',
				'slug'            => 'extra_sub_tab',
				'parent_url'      => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->bp_nav[ 'contact_athlete' ][ 'slug' ] . '/',
				'parent_slug'     => $bp->bp_nav[ 'contact_athlete' ][ 'slug' ],
				'position'        => 10,
				'screen_function' => 'view_manage_sub_tab_main'
			) 
		);
	}
	
	// = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

	add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'profile_new_subnav_item', 10 );

	function view_manage_sub_tab_main() {
		add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'bp_template_content_sub_function' );
		bp_core_load_template( 'template_content' );
	}

	function bp_template_content_sub_function() {
		if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
			bp_get_template_part('my-contact-form');
		} else {
			wp_login_form( array( 'echo' => true ) );
		}
	}

I hope it helps anyone.

Finally I’d like to say that I have never seen such a bad documentation in development as in buddypress. I know buddypress is free but WordPress is free too and they have a great doc.

Yes, I was just playing around – I don’t intend using it – I was actually looking for the theme that’s currently used on the buddypress.org site – this theme with the red bar on top – would you happen to know where I can find it? I like it since the buddybar isn’t right up top, so it’s more noticable.

I’ve also been looking for a way to extract the menu that you get from the buddy bar so as to use it as a sidebar widget. I have used the “(Buddy Press) Log in”, but when you log in, it doesn’t show the other options that you get with buddy bar, i.e. activity, profile, …, settings with the nice submenus.

I did try trawling the php code but I haven’t found it as yet. Is there an easy way to extend the Buddy Press login widget so that once you log in you get these other options as well?

Apologies if this is now going into another subject area – should I repost the new question as a new topic?

As to the original question, I think you solved it way back when you asked me to empty the pages trash and to rename the slugs. I still don’t know why my FF doesn’t work. I suspect that it is just not accpeting my log in, and that’s why I don’t get the bar. Also would explain why the login and register options don’t change. Perhaps the reason it doesn’t accept logins because I do all my wp admin through firefox? Anyway I’m prepared to live with it since it seems only the firefox on my local machine doesn’t get the bar.

Many thanks for all your help

I stumbled upon this post suggesting a snippet to put into bp-custom.php (a tweaks and snippets file for buddy press located in the plugins directory), but I can’t get it to work. I think there is an issue with my coding.

I am using BuddyPress 2.1.1

Here is my bp-custom.php file:

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here

//Change Admin Bar Login Links
function custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu() {
    global $bp;
    global $wp;
    remove_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2);
    if (is_user_logged_in())
        return false;
    echo '<li class="bp-login no-arrow"><a data-reveal-id="tmpl_reg_login_container" href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="tmpl_login_frm();">' . __('Log In', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
    // Show "Sign Up" link if user registrations are allowed
    if (bp_get_signup_allowed()) {
        echo '<li class="bp-signup no-arrow"><a data-reveal-id="tmpl_reg_login_container" href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="tmpl_registretion_frm();">' . __('Sign Up', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
    }
}

add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 1);

?>

Sorry I thought I was clear. I dont need an example of how to create the tab and the submenus.

What I did was write a class that creates a top level member area tab called Favorites that consolidates all types of favorites within a single tab. https://github.com/colabsadmin/bp-favorites/blob/master/bp-favorites.php

The submenus that have been created so far are Activity, Topics, Posts and a few more for some CPTs that I’ve written. This will make it easier for my users to find their favorites when they cant remember if it came from a topic, posts, activity, etc. Instead of jumping around from tab to tab, its all in one tab. The only submenu that doesnt work is Activity. The code, which I provided in my first question, was copied directly from Buddypress core code with one change to use ‘bp_core_new_subnav_item’. I used similar code to display content in all the other submenus. For example, the following shows the favorite topics

// Favorite topics
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
		'name'            => __( 'Topics', 'kleo' ),
		'slug'            => "topics",
		'parent_url'      => $bp->displayed_user->domain . $bp->bp_nav['favorites']['slug'] . '/',
		'parent_slug'     => $bp->bp_nav['favorites']['slug'],
		'screen_function' => 'bbp_member_forums_screen_favorites',
		'position'        => 10,
		'item_css_id'     => 'favorites'
));

So, my question, does bp_activity_screen_favorites() only work within the context of /members/membername/activity action? Or can it be used elsewhere as in /members/membersname/favorites?
