My coder gave me the following information. It works for me. If it doesn’t work for you, I’m sorry but I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not a coder.

CUSTOM MENU SHORTCODES

Create a simple shortcode by adding the following in child-theme’s functions.php file

add_shortcode( 'bp_user_profile_link', 'bp_user_profile_link_shortcode');
function bp_user_profile_link_shortcode( $atts ){
	$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
		'text'		=> 'Profile',
		'target'  => ''
	), $atts );
	if( !is_user_logged_in() )
		return '';
	$target_link = bp_loggedin_user_domain();
	switch( $atts['target'] ){
		case 'settings' : $target_link .= 'settings/'; break;
		case 'profile'  : $target_link .= 'profile/'; break;
		case 'edit_profile'  : $target_link .= 'profile/edit/'; break;
	}

	return "<a href='" . $target_link . "'>" . $atts['text'] . "</a>";  }

Now this gives you the chance to choose which profile link you want to target. So

1) For the main member page (activity) use the following shortcode:
[bp_user_profile_link text=”Profile” ]

2) For the View Profile page
[bp_user_profile_link text=”View My Profile” target=”profile”]

3) For the Edit Profile page
[bp_user_profile_link text=”Edit My Profile” target=”edit_profile”]

CUSTOM MENU URL (this may be very specific to my website. I don’t know.

Edit Profile: https://yourwebsite.com/members/–sububsername–/profile/edit/group/1/

Hope this helps.

I’ll give another example, since this appears to me to be a bug.
Buddypress requires pretty permalinks, so why is my permalink a ?p=123 type??
Here’s the code I’m using to add a custom post type to my activity feed.

add_post_type_support( 'community-story', 'buddypress-activity' );
 
function customize_page_tracking_args() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'community-story', array(
        'component_id'             => 'activity',
        'action_id'                => 'new_community-story',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Shared a new story', 'buddypress' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Community Story', 'buddypress' ),
        'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'activity_comment'         => true,
        'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s shared a new <a href="%2$s">Community Story</a>', 'buddypress' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">Community Story</a>, on the site %3$s', 'buddypress' ),
        'position'                 => 100,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 1000 );
function record_cpt_activity_content( $cpt ) {
 
    if ( 'new_community-story' === $cpt['type'] ) {
     
        $cpt['content'] = '&nbsp;';
    }
     
 
    return $cpt;
}
add_filter('bp_before_activity_add_parse_args', 'record_cpt_activity_content');

And here’s the result

<p>
<a href="https://domain.online/members/thirty3/">UserName/a> shared a new <a href="https://domain.online/?p=313">Community Story</a>

<a href="https://domain.online/?p=313" class="view activity-time-since bp-tooltip" data-bp-tooltip="View Discussion"><span class="time-since" data-livestamp="2018-04-23T20:07:18+0000">17 minutes ago</span></a>

Sure thing. I want to be able to have users post in those three post-types because of how they function. A blog post (custom post type) is suited for a story, a longer-form thing. A forum post is great for Q/A, and a “Tutor Tip” for example sits somewhere between a blog post and a simple status update, so I’m thinking about a second custom post type.

The main UX design choice for this is to have all of those options in one place, rather than sub-pages or sub-menus, etc.

It’s also easy for our moderators to be able to “feature” a blog post.

With buddypress, it’s my understanding that blog posts (with plugins like buddyblock, etc) show up in the activity feed, forum posts can be told to show up in the activity feed.

My thought is either to have three fields(Story, Question, Tip) , which have buttons that toggle their respective visibility.

Or

Have the one field, and the buttons change the destination on submit to one of the three.

Does that help?

Actually, there was something else in there, I deleted it. Here’s the error I’m getting with just your code now:

//redirect all users to homepage function bbg_bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to( $redirect_to ) { if ( bp_is_component_front_page( 'register' ) ) $redirect_to = bp_get_root_domain() .

I tried and am now getting this error on the site:

/** * Add location to BP Member directory */ function my_directory() {	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) if ( $field_7 = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Location', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) : echo '

I found the default theme was also showing issues which I missed.

I had both Groups and Members as a Child Page to My Activity Page, named Community. This was causing both single members profiles and single groups to not work. Until I find a solution I have made them Main Pages (no parent assigned). Is there a way to set the slug? I found these deprecated constants, is there some new way?

Deprecated Method in bp-custom.php use:

define ( 'BP_MEMBERS_SLUG', 'community/groups' );
define ( 'BP_GROUPS_SLUG', 'community/members' );

From the following link:

Changing Internal Configuration Settings

I also found my other issue in bp-custom.php. Forgot all about that one.

I created an aggregate feed called “My Feed” to display a more personal feed (which is working just fine). I used it on both the Activity in Profiles and the Main Activity Stream (site wide). I am using the following function to change the default sub nav for activities in profiles (Profile >> Activity >> Default Sub Nav) to “My Feed”. This works for profiles but causes the Site Activity to stop working.

function gzp_set_default_activity_sub_nav() {
 
    bp_core_new_nav_default (
        array(
            'parent_slug'       => buddypress()->activity->id,
            'subnav_slug'       => 'my-feed',
            'screen_function'   => 'gzp_bp_my_feed_screen_activity'
        )
    );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'gzp_set_default_activity_sub_nav', 20 );

Hi! I did follow the documentation. You’re right that those two pages work. Both of those pages use a certain template within the theme. That template uses a full-width page, without the sidebar and search bar that are on other pages. I’ve a few things to see what can remedy the matter:

1) Yes, I switched to a different template to test, and yes, on the 2016 template, BP works, so I don’t need to reinstall BP or get it working on its own. That part is working. I didn’t realize I’d have to reset all of my widgets and stuff. Fortunately, they weren’t deleted… Got those set up again.

2) I tried making all other relevant pages, creating pages for the stuff that BP uses, and setting each of those to use the template that works for Activity, Members, and Chapters. That didn’t work, though.

3) I tried creating a Custom CSS entry that uses the .buddypress class, telling it to use full-width for #primary. That made the page use full-width, but it didn’t make the functionality of BP work… Like on this page:
https://www.philosophersinamerica.com/chapters/create/step/group-details/

Please help! I’ve reached out to my theme’s creator – and there’s no changing to a different theme. We’re super committed and it works really well for everything else, and he’s had no experience using BuddyPress. I need help! This is just the plugin I’ve been looking for to help my people create groups that they need to manage.

It seems to me that if we’re able to get some of the pages to work there’s GOT to be a way to get other relevant pages to use whatever that same setting is to work also. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Best,

Eric

I have tried that it still returned the same error, however i have just noticed that if i delete my bp-custom.php everything works fine but my pages does not redirect users to there profile “if logged in” which was the purpose of the bp-custom.php file. This in the code in my bp-custom.php file

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
/* Redirects to profile upon login */
add_action('login_form', 'redirect_after_login'); 
function redirect_after_login() 
{     
global $redirect_to; 
if   (!isset($_GET['redirect_to'])) 
{ 
$redirect_to =   get_option('activity');
//  sample-page = your page name after site_url
} }

function bp_help_redirect_to_profile(){
global $bp;

if( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_front_page() )
bp_core_redirect( get_option('home') . '/members/' . bp_core_get_username( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) . '/activity' );

}

add_action( 'get_header', 'bp_help_redirect_to_profile',1);

add_action('wp_logout','go_home');
function go_home(){
  wp_redirect( home_url() );
  exit();
}

add_action( 'bp_complete_signup', 'buddydev_redirect_after_signup' );
 
function buddydev_redirect_after_signup() {
    
    $page = wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/profile' );
    
    
    bp_core_redirect( site_url( $page ) );
}

?>

So how do i fix this?? I need help Please

Another Update:

Ok, I was finally able to create a change in the file I was trying to edit. For some reason, I wasn’t able to insert code in the exact place I was trying to last time, but I WAS able to add code elsewhere in the document.

Also, I noticed the name of the hook started with “bp”, so I moved my cover-image code to my bp-custom.php file in my child theme. But it didn’t work there either. I feel like there’s something else I’m supposed to do with $settings['callback']. Or maybe I’m supposed to plug some more code in elsewhere. I could really use some help with this.

Also, while playing with the profile templates, I noticed there were a few hooks (which I’m learning are the ‘actions’ I’m adding to) that don’t really seem to do anything but sit there. Do they exist only for me to add code to through my bp-custom.php? If so, why wouldn’t I just hard-code something into the template file?

For example: do_action( 'bp_member_header_actions' ); sits between the @username and last-activity. But it’s empty. When the profile page loads, there’s nothing there. So that would make it an empty hook for me to plug stuff into, right? bp_profile_header_meta is also empty. Are all hooks like that? Or do any of them have their own code/functions?

I would still like to know where these actions are declared, and what possible functions lie inside them. Is there any way to find that information out? People create their own BP themes and plugins all the time so there has to be a way to figure this stuff out . . .

well I was trying post the my code, but I think I spammed myself after trying to edit the reply to this …

but dont’work!

I repeat, surely accidentally pointing to the folder, I can not figure out the exact solution. when i write “OR THIS??” i try but don’t work.

where am I wrong? thanks

sorry 🙁 i don’t know!!!
I seem to do correctly, but does not work.
I also for testing entered my files everywhere, but does not find it anywhere !!!

In my web-site the URL is http://mysite.it/membri/testmember1/activity/swap/ but it says “We are sorry, but the page you are looking for does not exist.”

I have my swap.php (into there’s only a echo command)’s file in wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/
and in bp-custom.php (that is in my plugin folder) I write

function my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_content() {
	bp_get_template_part('members/single/swap');
}
function luisa_register_template_location() {
   return 'wp-content/themes/betheme-child/buddypress/members/single';
}

I try also to put the swap.php file into wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single but nothing is happen.

where am I wrong? thanks
