Hi,

And … I might add: How do I remove the “HOME” link in Forum?
I figured out how to get users to FORUM by default:

define( ‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );

[Netz]

Hi!
Ehhh any functions.php ?? Themes, BP or in a specific folder?

Running WP 3.9.1 and BP 2.0.1

I also want to remove “HOME” in BP
So the result should be first MENU Item is “FORUM” then “MEMBERS” “SEND INVITATIONS” and “ADMIN” (for admins only)

As default the menu is :
“HOME” then “FORUM” then “MEMBERS” “SEND INVITATIONS” and “ADMIN” (for admins only)

But users that get’s in at the “HOME” level post messages thinking they are posting in the FORUM…? So that is why I want to hide it or take it off!

Hope this solution works – But are unsure where to stick it… 🙂

Best regards

Nets

one-time username change from the admin area for users after their first login?

@pixieblitz I used http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-username-changer/ last year. Back up DB and check if it works for current BP version or post at developer’s forums.
On another note, https://wordpress.org/plugins/username-changer/ will allow the site/super admin to change the username of each user from wp-admin area instead of diving into DB.

@envieme WP/BP versions? What’s the name of the theme activated in your dashboard menu > Appearahce > Themes? I have to ask again because new installations do not get the BP Default Theme served in the Appearance > Themes panel. (continued from WP Forums)

Thanks Dan.

EDIT – Discussion continued and issued resolved at WPorg forums.

Yes you’re right it is a WP issue rather than BP 😉 But any thoughts on how to deal with that? I see this on the WP forums that it has not been dealt with fully yet:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tweak-for-high-traffic-sites-delete-user-drop-down-menu

Yes, deleting users from the frontend works fine, but for more systematic searches and tweaks, deleting from the backend works better (just not in this case~)

[@mercime]

@peipooh Strange. Have not seen this issue. You might want to do some basic troubleshooting https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/
If that doesn’t work and if you are having issues only in your forums and not in blog posts or Activity Streams, etc. please post at the bbPress foruns.

[@mercime]

@bluellipse Sorry, not aware of any. Please do check/post at bbPress forums for possible solution/s.

There is a plugin in the wordpress plugin directory to handle phpbb to bbpress migration,although no mention is made about private messages.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/cms2cms-phpbb-to-bbpress-forum-converter/

It looks like it is in active development so you might want to suggest the features you are looking for to the plugin author if it doesn’t already cover your needs.

[lava-team]

I can’t even find buddypress functions.
bp_is_user_forums, bp_is_user_settings … etc..

sorry for my poor wp knowledge.

I just want to add my custom pages below bp user header. just like others.

[devonc01]

In reply to my above situation, I went to the WordPress Codex page which lists all the hooks available to developers. On this page, you can see a listing of things used as the first parameters for the add_filter('hook','your functions to run on that hook') method.

There was an example listed in that Codex that referenced exactly what I was trying to accomplish, namely, removing ‘Private: ‘ from private forum titles.

Below is the code that I am using now, it strips ‘Private:’ as well as leaving my profile page without any of the wierd markup that the previous code was using (note the previous code was from a post in ’09, so things likely changed since then):

/* Removing private prefix from post titles */ 

 
function spi_remove_private_protected_from_titles( $format ) {
	return '%s';
}
add_filter( 'private_title_format',   'spi_remove_private_protected_from_titles' );

[devonc01]

I resolved this issue, but another remains:

Yesterday, I was getting frustrated with the bbPress (a forum plugin for WordPress), because when I’d have a private forum, instead of it just being an attribute, it prepended ‘Private: ‘ before every forum.

In my attempt to resolve this issue, I found a similar thing to what JSHelp referenced in this Stack Overflow Post: a code that would be located in the theme’s (my theme was Twenty-Fourteen) functions.php file.

My attempt to resolve THAT issue, led to THIS issue (where we have HTML code being converted to non-code text on the buddyPress profile page).

On removing the code from function.php, the issue fixed itself.

However, I am unsure why these two interact in the way that they do, below is the code I added and later commented out:

function the_title_trim($title) {
	// Might aswell make use of this function to escape attributes
	$title = attribute_escape($title);
	// What to find in the title
	$findthese = array(
		'#Protected:#', // # is just the delimeter
		'#Private:#'
	);
	// What to replace it with
	$replacewith = array(
		'', // What to replace protected with
		'' // What to replace private with
	);
	// Items replace by array key
	$title = preg_replace($findthese, $replacewith, $title);
	return $title;
}
add_filter('the_title', 'the_title_trim');

Thanks everyone. I figured it out myself – turns out i was confused because i had a wordpress.ORG account, but Gravatar requires a wordpress.COM account :\

For some reason this was resulting in weird redirects when i tried to get a Gravatar account. This whole thing has been more or less resolved now, aside from the fact that i had to use a different username at wp.com – kind of weird needing separate accounts and not being able to use the same username between them. But oh well.

Sorry for being vague before. I didn’t think this forum was the right place to get help with account-related issues, but i couldn’t find any “site help” links or the like, so i was just hoping someone would point me in the right direction and not be too annoyed that i had posted in the wrong place. I didn’t include all the details because it was pretty convoluted and i didn’t want to waste anyone’s time when i thought the question i was really asking was “where do i get help with my account”. Not a great strategy, apparently – my bad.

Thanks for all your help.

You can post a job here:

[@mercime]

@vaghar123 you’d need to install and activate bbPress forums plugin first, and then use their phpBB importer you’d find on this page https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ If you have any issues regarding the import, please post at https://bbpress.org/forums/

[@mercime]

This is about my accounts at buddypress.org, trying to understand how this relates to my account at wordpress.org, and how this all relates to Gravatar.

@playerzero BuddyPress.org as well as bbPress.org, etc., belong to the WordPress.org ecosystem. As you found out, you needed to set up an account/username and password at WordPress.org before you can log in here.
Re Gravatar.com account, make sure you use the same email address as you’re using for WordPress.org so that your gravatar will be associated with your persona here at BPorg, at WPorg, at bbPress.org, etc.

As @henrywright and @bphelp mentioned above, you need to be more specific about what you want to find out. If it’s not appropriate for this forum, we’ll let you know. For example, what about BuddyPress.org do you need to know?

[playerzero]

@henrywright
Thanks. I still don’t see anything related to how to get help with my account on this support forum. That’s the point i feel like i’m not getting across, i do not see a subforum for questions related to this website, buddypress.org.

@bphelp
Ok. The problem i’m having is that i would like to change my avatar. But when i try to, i am told i have to create a Gravatar account. When i try to do this, i run into a bunch of problems. The reason i didn’t start out by describing my problem in more detail is because i don’t see a place to post this kind of inquiry. This is not about BuddyPress, this is about my accounts at buddypress.org, trying to understand how this relates to my account at wordpress.org, and how this all relates to Gravatar.

I’m looking for help with this website, not with the software. I was trying to NOT post my question in an inappropriate place. If there is an appropriate place to post this kind of question, all i am asking is where that is.

Thank you.

@danbp, thank you for the reply and for putting some effort.

I’m familiar with that link and also checked bp-activity-filters.php before posted on this forum.
I wouldn’t post here without trying to figure it out by myself.

For some strange reason, when I tried to edit that file it haven’t done any change. Now I tried it again and it is working. Probably I was tired or something and did something wrong.

Anyway, I wouldn’t go back to that file without you so thank you very much.

Reference file: buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-filters.php
How to remove @mention from updates, forum posts, etc

When searching (and/or tweaking) code in BuddyPress, use a text editor like Notepad++. This editor provide also a robust search tool. It’s much faster to work with the right tool as to wait for a response on a forum…. 😉

[playerzero]

Thanks, but i might not have made sense. What i mean is i’m having trouble with my account on this forum on buddypress.org, and i don’t see an obvious way to get help with it. If no one knows the answer to that, we can let this topic die quietly, it doesn’t have anything to do with BuddyPress the software. I’ll figure out what i screwed up when i have a little more time to mess with it.

Maybe this is better suited for Miscellaneous?

[Mr-B]

Thanks – I especially like the speech bubbles on the left of the forum, and the shaded boxes. I will look into sweetdate next time for a social site.

[wpleo]

Thank you @shanebp!

You’re right, I found this strange _x. But it didn’t make the translation work for me.

I got this bp-custom.php:

define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘pt-br’ );
if ( file_exists( WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );
//echo “FOUND IT!!”;
}

I’m pretty sure that this fil is being read and that the language file is being found because of the flag that I put: “FOUND IT!!”. In fact everything is being translated but the titles! No title got the proper translation, like:

http://astronomia.blog.br/forum-astronomia/atividades/ (Sitewide Activity)
http://astronomia.blog.br/forum-astronomia/pessoas/ (Members)
http://astronomia.blog.br/forum-astronomia/grupos/ (Groups)

Each one of these expressions is translated in the .po and .mo, acording to Loco Translate.

Already deleted the pages and re-created it but nothing.

I’m still trying, if I find a solution I’ll post it here.

Thanks for the help!

[danbp]

Yes, I did search before asking, but this 2 string are so hard to match in the search results.

The problem is not the strings, but the translation of them. And this is most probably a theme issue or a wrong path to BP’s translation.
You can check this point by activating one of WP’s default template. If it’s translated, you know the culprit.

It might just be that the theme author needs to update the theme to be compatible with the latest WP and BP versions. As we have no access to the premium theme, best place to ask is the theme’s support forums or contact theme author.

If you’re comfortable with code, here’s a workaround. Be aware that this does not solve the problem, but only ignore it.

[danbp]

BP, bbP or WP user are all registered in the same DB table: wp_users

I’ve never actually found a link that goes to the old bbPress profiles

You expect something other ? And if they don’t exist, they cannot redirect.

If you havee other questions about bbp/bp forum, read here first. 🙂

[danbp]

@dreamwork
WP version ?
BP version ?
Theme name ?
Used Plugins ?

Did you search on this forum before asking ?
