Hi @saish_neugi

The proper way to enqueue scripts is wp_enqueue_scripts. You should open a topic on the plugin’s support forum mentioning that so a fix can be released

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_enqueue_scripts

@billysim,

I am just testing things and learning

Nice ! Continue and persevere, we’ve all beginned a day. Codex and forum are your friends.

I would like it for members of the site to be able to make there own sub blog which they can edit and add posts too etc. (Not a multisite)

Multisite means multiple blogs. If you haven’t setup a multisite, you can’t attribute sub-blogs to your members.

But you can allow them to publish on the existing blog. Change their role to author, and you’re done. To achieve this, best place to have good information is the WordPress Codex.

@wilson1987

Whilst it’s great you’ve created your own blog, please note Your BuddyPress is a forum to showcase BuddyPress-related websites, themes and plugins. Also, if you do have something BuddyPress-related to share, please open a new topic.

Thanks!

Hi @danbp

This is working perfectly for Buddypics.
I was wondering if it works for Buddypics why it will not work for Blog posts.
So I tried putting the code – it shows Favorit link below blog post but it does not work as it misses a number. If this can be made to work, you can favorit a blog post from both activity stream and the blog post itself just like comments .

(BTW @modemlooper seems to be not in this forum these days, same about @imath)

Thanks.

[5high]

Thanks so much for that @rosyteddy – it wasn’t until i compared your code with mine above (which is to all intents the same) that i realised that my “‘” around ‘profile’ and ‘position’ etc were the wrong ones! They were curly ones!

I’d copied the code from an excellent blog (and checked it against others + the forum here) but hadn’t realisied the mistake – so now works perfectly!

Hopefully I’ll now remember that for another time.

Thanks again.

[danbp]

@wolfied,

did you read this guide ?

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

[wolfied]

Hello @hnla,

Can you please help me creating forums outside of BP Groups, please ? I am unable to do so. I want to move my existing topics but I couldn’t make it. Can you please guide me?

Thanks,

[danbp]

As you can see, i use nothing to publish pictures on this forum.

I only entered a picture url from photobucket. This works also with the What’s new editor.

And if a plugin would exist here, i could share it on different networks.

I don’t know excart.php and buddypress activity plus. If you need information about this plugin you have to ask the author on the plugin support.

So what is related to BuddyPress in your question ?

[danbp]

my snippet hides buddybar items to non logged user, not BP usermenu items on Toolbar.

To do that, you have to read the codex document i indicated in one of previous post.

BuddyMenu is built a la BuddyPress. And you got support for this here.

Toolbar is built a la WordPress. WP support is here.

If you had looked a little on the forum (ie. Remove Edit My Profile), you could find this:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/remove-edit-my-profile/#post-150939

And again, the one or other code doesn’t remove BP pages, only items.

I rather do just install a widget, then go across google to find ways to do it in a text html styling. If there is a widget of plugin. I rather do that first.

Thanks danbp, you are the man for showing something better than wasting time trying to code in a text widget.

This is a widget that came with BuddyPress, and seems to me that with that comment up there, sounds like they rather have me do the work than just take a close button out of there own widget. Not like an adult way, sounds more like I am child and don’t want to do it attitude. Same as WordPress, when you request something. I mean they are developers, and all they want to do is say no for something they already created. Since, getting attitudes are the fondest things on BuddyPress, bbPress, and WordPress forums, then I will just stop asking for things that should be from them. I am not going to develop the software for them.

For someone like me that rarely asks for anything. I got jumped on pretty fast there.

Again thanks, danbp for the smarter reply.

[Henry Wright]

To resolve this, you’ll need to look at the member pages which aren’t being indexed (look at their templates, URLs, sitemap entries) and work out what is different to the pages that are being indexed. I think you mentioned there could be an issue with the sitemap, so that’s another avenue to investigate. Perhaps try installing a different XML sitemap. Personally, I’ve used XML Sitemap which has always been reliable (and support from the author is very good as you’ll be able to see from the resolved tickets I’ve opened on that support forum). Then there is Google XML Sitemaps which has 1m+ active installs, so that looks popular

[Matt]

I’ve posted a thread on Google Webmaster Tools forum in case it’s an issue with the sitemap rather than buddypress, but our search engine rankings have dropped dramatically since we installed the new Buddypress-powered site. (Hopefully we can fix this without moving away from Buddypress, but it’s such a key issue to us that we may move away from it if it can’t be resolved.)

The way I see it it’s either…

1. An inherent issue with using Buddypress
2. An issue with the members profile template (part of the custom theme)
3. An issue with the sitemap

@utahman1971 hi there, i was reading your problem and i am a little confused to be honest!

I mean if its a admin notice for all users, it should never be able to close for regular members. It should stick like a sticky thread in a forum.

If you want a permanent notice to show without users being able to close it would it not be better to just add a text widget and add your own styling to make it stand out as a permanent reminder?

[Michael Bryner]

I mean if its a admin notice for all users, it should never be able to close for regular members. It should stick like a sticky thread in a forum. This would probably have members that are tired of spam too, agree with this also. I just had a member sign up on my website, and immediately they just created 7 spam groups for their business. I would like them not able to close warning messages to the whole site of members. I can understand like admin able to close it, but not the rest of the members.

[rosyteddy]

Keep that one Category you want selected by default in the code and hide the entire category field by CSS like display: none;
I am not sure if this will work at or not. Is this a plugin you are using? Does it have its Support forum in wp org or elsewhere?

Thanks.

[danbp]

Welcome to the buddypress debug club ! Please open a ticket and give details about your install and any step to reproduce the issue. Add also a link to this topic.

Go here and use same login as on this forum.

If you don’t know how to post a ticket on a wiki page, read here first.

[danbp]

I don’t know BuddyPress forum (v 2.2).

Installing and using bbPress forum plugin is explained here:

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

@mention is explained here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/template-updates-2-1/

[gatelli]

Thanks for your answer.
I don’t use bbpress but Buddypress forum (v2.2)… is there a similar way to get it working ?

[danbp]

@rosyteddy,

snippets published on the forum are generally related to a specific topic/question. And of course, dependant of theme and/or bp version, if not php or mysql or server settings. Over the time, they stop working or can’t be used anymore because the Core changed or because of other evolutions….

Despite having a kind of snippet store accessible by forum menu seems to be a usefull idea, it is not. Each usage case is different and can not be extended to all case. FYI information, i had the same idea a few years back, and was quickly discouraged to do so by our Core dev. I was first disapointed, but i finally had to admit they where right. And today, i’m absolutely persuaded and on the same line.

That’s why you have Codexes. For WP, BP or bbP with general explanation of default usage and more rarely, with usage examples. If you find a snippet example in Codex, in 95% of cases, you have to adapt it to your personnal usage.

To answer your question, as you know, BuddyPress is (only) a WordPress plugin. When installed, the site continue to work with WordPress and WP dashboard. Nothing is modified in WP Core, only that BP was added to the site. As a plugin.

How to handle WordPress is explained and widly documented in his Codex.
Menu management, CPT management or how to modify menu items on Toolbar or Admin bar is also documented. And the’re so many sites giving WP tips (from excellent to awfull), you can read.

[rosyteddy]

Hi @danbp This is pretty cool, fun and useful.

If bp org can add to
About Plugins Themes Documentation **Snippets** Blog Support Download
Snippets that actually work with WP4.1.1, and BP2.2x or BP 2.3 it will be an excellent and useful addition. Infact, users with some repu/creds can be allowed to post such snippets in this section, which can then be rated, commented or tagged. Making it a subsection of forum will make it less prominent but a tab by the side of plugins will be great.

PS: Just curious, is there any such easy code that hides items from the left side nav bar in the site admin’s backend dashboard ?

[danbp]

Add this to your child-theme functions.php or to bp-custom.php

Not sure it will work with your theme, and ‘activity’ tab seems now impossible to remove (since 2.2 at least). I don’t know why exactly. Uncomment both lines to see if it works for you.

function bpfr_hide_top_nav() {	
	
	if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {	

// bp topnav items to hide	
	//	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'activity' );			
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'profile' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );	

//bp subnav (my activities, my groups, etc)
	//  bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'activity' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'friends' ); 
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'favorites' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'groups' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'mentions' );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'bpfr_hide_top_nav', 10 );

@marketraisen,

the original code is %s posted an update
To modify this the right way, you have to use the language file and an appropriate compilator such as poEdit to generate the mo file.

Don’t know what solution you didn’t found, guess you have to search this forum for translation related topics.

A very dirty solution would be to use this snippet and add it to your child-theme functions.php

function marketraisen_change_bp_update_text( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
		
	if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
	return $translated; 
	
	switch ( $original_text ) {
		case '%s posted an update':
		return '%s posted on';
				
		default:
		return $translated;
	}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'marketraisen_change_bp_update_text', 10, 3 );

Hi @rosyteddy,

since BP 1.7 theme compatibility was introduced, which allowed the use of almost every theme on a BP powered site. Previously, you could practicaly only use bp-default theme. Since bp-default was removed (7569) from the install package, that theme lives his own life. A few time later, it was decided to publish the source code of the bp-default custom theme used on bp.org…

I wonder then why BP is not releasing this as a default theme for BP!

Don’t wonder ! Because devs wanted to concentrate on their plugin, not on a specifical theme. It tooks hard working to isolate bp-default. And certainly not to introduce a new one today. 😉

You have access to the source code. You’re free to use it and to skin it to your needs.

If you don’t see colors or any other elements, you have to check your work and redo it if you comes if you have errors or omissions.

Difficult to tell you what you did wrong. IMO nothing, but if you’re mixing your theme and bp-default à la bp.org, you missed probably somethings.

If you don’t know how to do this, you can hire somebody on BP Job Board forum.
