We’re unable to help you for Yoo Helios premium theme.

Have you assigned a particular template to the mandatory BP pages: activity, members, groups,… ? If yes, remove them, as BP pages must stay “empty”. Just give them a title and nothing else.

Instead of using an exotic function, better try this solution.

is_buddypress fn definition: You can tell if a page is displaying BP content by whether the current_component has been defined. More here.

I’m afraid you can’t built another member’s directory. “Members” is a component and it use a dynamic page to output anything related to members.

The only thing who change, is eventually the content template part (member directory vs. profile for example: both activity are on the same pseudo “page”.

The only way i see for your case, is to add a custom filter and to define eventually another default output for member directory, based on the current filter. But it’s the user who has to choose what he want to see there.

Default filter are recently active, recently subscribed and alphabetical order. To add more option, included “artists”, try to add “member type” or create you r own plugin to filter.

Here the related codex page for member-type

And codex page for how to add a filter on members directory.

For the @ use, the correct way to use it is when you want to mention (@mention) somebody. And so far i can see this here, it doesn’t actually work on bp.org ! 😉

So just keep in mind that you publish on a public forum. It is not intended to call mods individually. We’re not consultants here (we don’t charge you), but simple volonteers trying to guide and help other users.

Please do not bump threads.

You omitted an ‘&’ in this:
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ).'&scope=just-me,friends,groups,favorites,mentions&per_page=15&action=friendship_created,joined_group,activity_update' ) ) : ?>

You’re including all the default params for scope. Why include them at all?

There are other ways of filtering the activity loop:

@fscbmwcca

thanks for the comment. If I understand correctly then the option:
allows an admin to select which Post types and BuddyPress Components are private
seems to indicate that things like the activity component or the member community component
could be set private.
Did you test the plugin?

The sentence:
provides a Private checkbox in the upper right corner of every page, post, and custom post type selected in Settings

is a bit irritating, finally that feature exists already in a standard BP wordpress version.
That is at least in my BP wordpress version you can already mark
pages as private (i.e. non accessible to non-logged-in members),
i.e. there is already a checkbox. And if there wouldn’t be the bug then
setting the member page and activity to private would have set “the component” to
private, if I understood correctly.
Is the plugin checkbox another checkbox?

There is a plugin which, by its description, seems to set everything private:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/
and which lets you specify which subadresses should be open.
But in my case this is not so helpful because
I want the blog to be public and the blog is not behind a /blog/ adress
but behind the year /2015/… etc.
so I would need to set each year adress open, which seems OK but not really
straightforward.

@ldesherl I think it might help if you could leave that link above switched to a WP default theme and with all plugins deactivated, just while you’re seeking help for this issue, as things stand I see no sight of BuddyPress or bbPress running, and the theme is a custom one with a lot of plugins running. Buddypress should default to using a series of pages that it will create, your ‘Activity’ example is named with a custom title, you also seem to have a lot of trashed pages as the members page slug has ‘-7’ added suggesting 6 other copies of a page named ‘members’ try deleting those.

Hi,

Not used LearnPress so unable to comment much on that . The method I used to insert/display my own custom profile fields into a header on the user activity page was as follows (in this case, a Location field which was created in the WP dashboard).

1. Add to bp-custom.php :

//Add Location field to header if user has entered data into it
//Nothing is shown if user hasn't entered anything into field
function bptest_show_location_field () {
	$location_field = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Location' ); 
	if ( ! $location_field  ) { 
	   return; 
	}   
	else {
	   echo '<span class="custom-field-text">' . $location_field . '</span>'; 
	}
}
//user_bio_location_field is used within the member-header php template file
add_action ( 'user_location_field', 'bptest_show_location_field' );

2. In my member-header.php file (which was copied into my child theme) entered the div :

<div id="user-location">
	<?php 
		do_action ( 'user_location_field' ); 
	?>
</div><!-- #user-location - function is found in bp-custom -->

Obviously the php code in step two is placed wherever you want the field to display, just put it in the correct location of the correct php file. In my case it was member-header.php but for you i’m guessing its the one that generates your order page?.

Not sure if you have already tried any of that or if it even helps!

Talking about JavaScript @henrywright, without going off topic or meaning to hijack this thread I have a question for you that you may be able to help me with that’s driving me nuts, you know how we spoke ages ago about combining js scripts etc? well I have a problem on my members pages that is frustrating me, I have all my js files combined how I need them to be and working great on every single page of the website and have all js moved to the bottom instead of being at the top with the use of a plugin.

Now the problem I have is on a users member/profile pages, on these pages 2 of my js files remain at the top which is causing me problems with another plugin I use on these pages, the plugins all work fine but makes the pages briefly flash when switching tabs, i have narrowed it down to these js files loading in the head that are causing the problem. The plugin I use to move the js to the bottom only supports pages and posts and not custom post types (so it works fine on the activity/members/groups main pages but not in the individual groups or personal members pages), now I have got the code to add the custom post types so that it can move the js to the bottom on the members profile pages but I am not sure what custom post types these pages use?

The code I need to use is below, but what custom post type should I add for the buddypress personal members pages to be included any ideas?

function stf_add_cpt_support( $post_types ) {
    $post_types[] = 'project';
    
    return $post_types;
}
add_filter( 'scripts_to_footer_post_types', 'stf_add_cpt_support' );

sorry @rosyteddy but i only brought it up as henry mentioned JS 🙂

Hey @alessandrat

Welcome to the BuddyPress forum!

1. Have two separate front ends for different user types (with differently configured profiles), appearances, and accesses.

Yes. This can be done with either a plugin (try searching the Plugin Directory) or coded through the Member Types feature introduced in version 2.2.

2. Have a place where shortcode could be put in so that users can take a questionnaire containing likert questions on their profile and/or while creating their profile.

Either a post, page or perhaps even an activity update all spring to mind as possible places to add it.

3. One but not both kinds of users can create their own group (public, semiprivate or private) or forum and browse/ join existing ones

The ability for all members to create new groups comes as standard.

4. One kind of user but not the other needs to be able to set up ways for the other type of user to purchase products (I assume I can use another plugin but will need a place to put the shortcode)

This will need to be either custom coded, or you may find a plugin with the functionality you need.

Hope this info helps!
