@nunolopes99
I think your question is more related to the particular theme you are using. Which I believe has a support forum here: http://seventhqueen.com/support/

I am sure there are multiple ways to achieve what you are asking, but it would likely be customizing some php stuff or getting into plugins.. and I think you are asking more about the functions of the theme you have there. I doubt many if any here can provide you the the details about modding your theme settings for that one.

Looks like so:

[shanebp]

Remove both the background colors.
Change the text color to black.

In In bb-base/style-buddypress.css:

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta .bbp-topic-started-in a {
	/* background-color: #be3631; */
}

In bb-base/style.css:

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta .bbp-topic-started-in a {
	color: #000000;
	padding: 2px 5px;
	border-radius: 3px;
	font-size: 10px;
	font-weight: bold;
}

The goal was to draw attention to the fact that individual forum categories even exist, as a fair amount of topics in our forums end up in the wrong place.

Any suggestions how to emphasize individual forums without that emphasis being distracting to you?

[mcpeanut]

@shanebp yes indeed i was talking about them very links haha, man its driving me crazy as i spend most of my time browsing through the main page rather than in the actual sub forums as i like to read alot about everything, i keep getting distracted by the boldness of these links when trying to read the titles.

[Ben Hansen]

i’m sorry if you feel i’m not helping on this forum or just this thread i try to be strait to the point with my responses and try to shy away from anything relating to coding this thread perhaps was a bit of a borderline issue but please let me know if you feel like my participation is no longer desired around here.

Hey @skyrant, project lead chiming in here. Apologies for @ubernaut’s response; it doesn’t come across as very helpful or inviting, nor does it point you in any directions as to where to start building this type of functionality, which is the type of helpful reply I would expect from our forums normally.

You’ll want to look into WordPress’s map_meta_cap filter, and more specifically, our bp_moderate capability checks.

In the old days, we used a bunch of is_super_admin() checks to only allow the type of access you desire to network administrators. This proved to be too powerful an assumption once BuddyPress started working on Single-Site installations, and so we ported (almost) everything to checking for bp_moderate instead.

You could create a new role and grant it the bp_moderate capability. In doing so, any user with that role will have the ability to moderate the entire BuddyPress community.

This also is a bit more powerful than we would like it to be, and in the future we hope to introduce dedicated roles and capabilities all through-out BuddyPress very similarly to the way we did with bbPress. It’s not in the immediate roadmap however, so if this is an area you’re interested in, and want to help us improve it, let’s keep a dialogue going here and see if anyone else chimes in.

[shanebp]

If you’re talking about the sub-forum links on each topic on the main page – I have to agree.
Of all things needing attention on this site, that wasn’t one of them, lol.
But at least it’s a sign that things aren’t static.

[r-a-y]

The “Create a Group” link is available in the WP Admin Bar — “WP Admin Bar > Groups > Create A Group” — or on the Groups Directory page (example.com/groups/ usually).

The “Create New Topic” button is only available on a group’s “Forum” page if you installed the bbPress forum plugin and when you have connected a group with a forum.

[Marisa]

Yes, Henry. The problem remains with Twenty Fifteen too.
Please, see this screenshot:

No “create new group” option appears neither “create new topic” in the forum page.
The same thing with Fourteen and with Mantra.

[Marisa]

Yes, Paul. Please, take a look:
I’m logged as admin. Here the Activity page:

and here the Groups page:

No “create new group” option or button appears
neither “create new topic” in the forum page
I have switched back the theme to “Mantra” because the site looks very bad with 2014, as @djsteveb suggested. All the plugins disabled except BP.
Before the upgrade to WP 4.1, BP was working very well. BP was integrated with s2Member plugin (now disabled) that was the core of my membership site.
Thanks for your assistance.

[Hugo Ashmore]

@imanishpushkar Please don’t post a topic more than once this won’t get a faster response and causes confusion if people are posting to both or multiple topics fracturing the responses.

As well please do remember that this is a volunteer forum and as such we ask that people are patient in awaiting a response and not to bump a tread before 24 hours have passed.

As to the question, I’m not clear on what you are seeing as an issue, you may need to try and add some more detail on this. If it’s a case of you are not seeing registered users appear in members listings then in BP terms a user must login and become active on the site to kick things into life.

[casesolver]

Hi Paul, Henry,

From the X theme support forum understaying answer.
As the I reinstalled the theme 2 x and did not know where to insert the given code, I deleted the BP plugin and reinstalled… nothing lost and all working fine, that was some stress. Thank you, it’s nice to know that there is so much help and learning from you all.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! If bp_get_activity_directory_permalink() is not recognized, it is most probably because the file doesn’t exist for buddypress or outside it’s scope.

To resolve the issue temporarily, comment out the following line.

/* ? bp_loggedin_user_domain() : bp_get_activity_directory_permalink() */

You can try updating your theme to the latest version or if you already have the latest version, try re-installing the theme files.

Hope that helps.

@jerryroxas – welcome to the wonderful world of wp and bp!

Here is what you are likely to find out.. when asking for support in the bp forums people are going to ask if your problem exists when you switch to the default wp theme and turn off all plugins except bp.

If your problem does not exist in the default setup, then re-enable your other plugins one by one and see if the issue is caused when another plugin is activated. If the problem is caused by another plugin (in your case I am guessing the members plugin) – then you will likely be asked to go find the support forums for that plugin and ask them over there, as it’s not a bp problem, and you are unlikely to get (free) support here.

If your problem does not exist with all plugins, change your theme to what you were using and see if the problem exists. IF problem exists only with the non-default theme, then you need to ask for support with your theme designer.

If you come back here and say that you need such and such functionality and the other theme designers and plugin authors are not helping you, then you will likely be directed to the coders jobs board when you can offer cash for solutions. (And those solutions that you pay for will likely not be guaranteed to work, or work in the future when wp and bp have updates.)

I will add some extra light on your situation however, from what I have seen the next version of buddypress is supposed to have core functionality support for some kind of member levels thing.. see https://buddypress.org/2015/01/buddypress-2-2-beta-2/ –

whether or not that new function will work right at all, or work for the type of situation in which you are trying to create with the permissions / members plugin you are currently playing with, I don’t know. I myself have had some luck with using press-premit-core for some content restriction situations, but I have not looked to see if those affect activity stream registering.. I may play with that some and see.

[casesolver]

Hi Henry,
Yes tomorrow we tried twenty fifteen, all was working.
Last week X theme had 3 updates. BuddyPress has a special place in it. I have to use BP because of the core idea of this website, FreeSkills.net is a timebank, that nice plugin is build with BP.
I’ll send again a question to the X forum.
Many thanks for your attention and help. Kind regards of Anne

Hello guys

What I used is:
– BuddyPress with combination of either bbP private groups plugin or Members plugin or Restrict Content Pro – bbPress plugin
– I created extended BuddyPress profile fields in registration
– I restricted access to the forum with one of above mentioned plugins
– I used my code mentioned in the beginning

How it looks like:
– my code works like a charm! once you choose User1 type in registration, it applies subscriber role, User2 subscriber as well, contributor for User3 – THIS WORKS.
– what does NOT work is restriction via plugins. Have no clue why. With members plugin od pivate groups, I set Forum1 to be accessable ONLY to User3 type of user, but User1 and User2 can access too! Why?! It has nothing to do with my code, after registration you can clearly check it in WP Users that the role has been assigned.

If I knew hot to restrict access to the forum based on the WP Role, my code would be sufficient to solve this. Can you help with that part?

@youmin – are upi saying in BB 2.2 access to forum based on the WP role is fixed?

[mcpeanut]

Ty @r-a-y , ive since been to the forums and told the dev thanks for this detailed report, cheers again for taking a look at this issue bud.

[mvaneijgen]

@Ahir Hermant that is not really my question.

There are users on the forum, so when I click on there name (lets say user ‘Youmin) I want the site to link to the users page (and that would be this URL /members/Youmin) this works without BuddyPress, but when I have BuddyPress installed all users name get the link /members (and this is just a page with a list of all users.

So there is no way to get to a users page.

[Ahir Hemant]

@youmin,

i have used bbpress and buddypress, there is one widget like Forum Statistics, it will display like total member count, total topic, total forum like that, there is no link i mean total forum 120 then when i click on 120 it will redirect to forum list page. have you got my question now ?

Thank you

[Henry Wright]

Hi @socialbttrfly

a) Not ‘out-of-the-box’ but through either plugins or custom code snippets then this can be done.

b) Try the BP Jobs Board. We request that you post your requirements and leave your contact details so that developers can contact you.

[mcpeanut]

@r-a-y Please read this ray, This also happens on twenty fifteen default theme, After trying numerous ways to try and troubleshoot this myself i have had no luck, and according to the moderators on Atahualpa forums due to my post there, they have spent hours figuring out the cause and have narrowed it down to a buddypress bug, one of the moderators has opened a bug ticket here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6153

[danbp]

Mentionning your site URL will help : http://loonao.com/
Your theme is SweetDate (premium theme has bp support)

Which plugin do you use for your custom search form ? You’ll probably have to ask on author’s support, as this is probably not a issue related to BuddyPress.

[eVersatile]

Ah nevermind. apparently it was “my-groups” duh lol. I don’t know why it wouldn’t show up as a slug though.
Could you possibly help me one another issue?
Within the groups I have changed all of the navigation menu using;

function jm_move_group_activity_tab() {
  global $bp;
  if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) {
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['forum']['name'] = 'new name';
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['name'] = 'new name';
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['members']['name'] = 'new name';
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['admin']['name'] = 'new name';
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['send-invites']['name'] = 'new name';
  }
}
add_action('bp_init', 'jm_move_group_activity_tab');

Though, I am unable to get the “forum” slug to change. I have tried many other options though nothing seems to work. Do you know if there may be another script for just that?

[Henry Wright]

Hi @rudik123

Just to make you aware, BuddyPress developers add new features to BP core only if that particular feature will benefit the entire community. So even if you offer $1,000s, the feature request may get rejected. That doesn’t mean to say the door is closed and that’s where plugins come in. Many people choose to hire a developer to create some functionality they need ‘as a plugin’.

There’s an Ideas forum already available which lets you submit ideas for plugins etc. You could potentially find some like-minded users on there, group together to contact a developer, and request something be built:

[r-a-y]

We’re looking to improve the invite process for BuddyPress 2.3.

I’m going to ping @dcavins, as he will be implementing the invite improvements, so he’s aware of this.

Just to answer your questions:

Notification in the profile window’s (there are 3 notifications: message (1) – friends (1) – but in GROUPS there is no notification).

The “Groups > No Pending Invites” nav item is for invites you have requested. Not invites that are pending for the entire group.

The user (A) has posted in a group wall’s and the user (B) has done a comment.
The user (A) hasn’t received notification neither admin toolbar or administration profile windows.

Currently, notifications do not occur for activity comments. We’ll likely add this enhancement into core eventually, but for now, you’ll have to use a plugin for this:

BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier

The user (A) has opened a forum in a grup. The user (B) has done a comment.
The user (A) has received notification in the administratio toolbar. But when the user (A) has done a comment the user (B) don’t has received the notification.

How did user A reply to user B? On the group activity homepage or on the actual group forum topic? If user A replied on the group forum topic, then this sounds like an issue with bbPress, not BuddyPress.
