Hi there @vapvarun,

Weirdly, that’s not the case for me though. None of the forum activity shows up in the activity stream.

I’ll check out the plugin you mentioned, thanks!

[Varun Dubey]

@thomdj linked forums activities display inside the group activities by default.
for sending notifications, you can also check bbPress Notify plugin

Sorry – posted this in the wrong forum (Creating & Extending):

Hello all,

I just figured the group feature which is an awesome add-on ! So far it works perfectly fine for me, however, I want to raise a discussion regarding hidden groups: Of course a hidden group may not show up in the groups directory, however, when I am the admin of a hidden group it does not even show up in the group configuration panel. Neither it does in the group listing of group members.

Is this the conceptual behavior of this feature or is there space for discussion ? I’d personally like the group to be visible in both cases. From the docs I understood that in the admin section hidden groups should be visible.

Thanks,
best

Alex

P.S.: I am using WP Version 5.4.2 and BP Version 6.2

Hi,

i’m trying to display the extra profile fields data (i created) in my profile page to my friends profiles overview.
i already displayed it on the members page overview (with a snippet of code from the support forum).

here are two pictures to make it more clear:

Profile data on members page:
https://intranet.cabeje.han-solo.net/all-members-page.jpg

Missing Data on friends members page in my profile:
https://intranet.cabeje.han-solo.net/my-freinds.jpg

This is the code i used for displaying it on members page (stored in bp-custom.php):

function my_directory() {
if ( bp_is_active( ‘xprofile’ ) )

if ( $membertel = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘telefon’, bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
echo ‘<div class=”telefon”>’;
echo “Telefon: ” . $membertel;
echo ‘</div>’;
endif;

if ( $membermobil = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘mobil’, bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
echo ‘<div class=”mobil”>’;
echo “Mobil: ” . $membertel;
echo ‘</div>’;
endif;

if ( $memberfb = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘fachbereich’, bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
echo ‘<div class=”fachbereich”>’;
echo “Fachbereich: ” . $membermobil;
echo ‘</div>’;
endif;

if ( $membereinrichtung = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘einrichtung’, bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
echo ‘<div class=”einrichtung”>’;
echo “Einrichtung: ” . $membereinrichtung;
echo ‘</div>’;
endif;

if ( $memberbegleitende_dienste = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘begleitende_dienste’, bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
echo ‘<div class=”begleitende_dienste”>’;
echo “Begleitende Dienste: ” . $memberbegleitende_dienste;
echo ‘</div>’;
endif;

}
add_filter ( ‘bp_directory_members_item’, ‘my_directory’ );

Any Help would be great…
Thanks!

Hi guys.
I’m wondering if it is possible to give a member the option to hide him/herself from being visible on the community/forum.
For example a user is on holiday and don’t want be visible during this time.
Would appreciate getting your ideas.

[ThomDJ]

Hi there,

I have 8 private groups, each with their own private forum. Is there any way I can display forum activities like replies and created topics in the group activity stream? I would like to use ‘BuddyPress Group Email Subscription’ plugin to notify group members on forum activity relevant to their group.

WordPress version: 5.5.1
BuddyPress version: 6.2.0
bbPress version: 2.6.5

Thanks!

Hello,
First off, let me say that I am totally blind and thus use a screen reader. I am decent from inside wp-admin, but very nervous about making code changes, unless I can litterally do a copy/paste. So please please be nice, and make your reply as detailed as possible. I have found posts online to remove and reorder items from Buddypress navbar, but no way to remove it completely.
You may ask, why would I want to do this? Well, I run an online radio station, and buddypress is added feature, to create an online community around the station, with chat, a forum, and on demand content. However, things weren’t going as I wanted with my radio theme.
I tried to use the navigation widget which comes with the new Buddypress template, but so far as I could tell, with my screen reader, it was not showing up. Plus, the new bp template wasn’t playing well with the rest of my site, so switched to legacy. So, I have created a custom menu, with some BuddyPress items, some BBPress items, and some custom pages. And used the standard wordpress Navigation Menu widget to make items available from anywhere on the site. So, I have all the functionality I need right there. And thus the navbar just ends up adding duplicate links.

I know if you do this wrong, you can break buddypress functions. I want to keep features, just get rid of the navbar.
Using latest wordpress, latest BuddyPress, and On Air2 radio station theme.
Your help will be much appreciated. If this could be done via plugin, that would be incredible. Otherwise, please be very very specific. Exact file to edit/create, exact lines to add/edit/remove, exact changes to be made. Like I said, I am very confident in wp-admin, but scared to death of code, more specifically, breaking something and not being able to fix it.

[webcomon]

I installed/activated “GD bbPress Attachments”
When I click on settings I get an error message saying:

“Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”

Any idea why?

Is a paid version required to make it work?

Right now, I do not see the option to attach a file in the forum.

[iamthewebb]

Hi,
BuddyPress uses bbpress for it’s forums, you may want to check out https://bbpress.org/plugins to see if there is anything that matches your needs.

[webcomon]

Hello,

How to enable file attachment in the forum?

In other words, there is a need to allow visitors when posting a message to add a PDF document if they chose to.

Below is the required info/link
WordPress version version 5.5
BuddyPress version Version 6.2.0
Link to my site esCanada.org

Thank you.

Hi Samikip!

Just came across your post searching in Google for a similar issue, although I am still in the previous step. I wonder if you found a solution for your issue, since I can´t see any replies in this forum.

I created a site for a customer with a buddypress install and a membership plugin. After done, they requested to create an intranet (which we did in a subdomain) using Woffice (an intranet theme that comes with a personalized in style BuddyPress). The intranet was to be offered say to “PREMIUM” members.

The “problem” we are facing now, is that when users register in the corporate site (which they do via the membership registration form, which has an extension and creates their buddypress profile) they need to be registered again in the Intranet and create a new profile.

What we are doing for now to solve this, we are only using the intranet Buddypress to avoid duplications (unconnected profiles).

Could you please show some light on how to connect both databases? When creating the subdomain for the intranet we set it up to share databases (just changing the prefix) but we are pretty lost on how to proceed at this point.

Thanks a lot for any help!

I just installed buddy press on my website. Everything seems pretty great right out of the box. Except that they groups are totally borked.

When I go to view a group, there is no status update box. Making the groups entirely pointless.

Things I did:
– I looked into the code, and they aren’t hidden.
– checked the settings
– went into trouble shooting mode, still not showing up

FYI, private messaging works just fine.

This is what I see:

Hi I have embedded a forum into a WP page with the shortcode.

Displaying and browsing the forum works as it should but when I clik on the “subscribe” button, the page reloads and I’m not subscribe for alerts on that forum.

Seems to be doing that only when I embed the forum in another page.

If I go directly to the forum, then the button works.
Looks like something with the “rewrite” string or something like that.

Any clue how I could fix that ?

[grosfaignan]

solved, here the solution : https://forum.phpfrance.com/post464282.html#p464282

[Mike Witt]

I see something like this also. If I click on “Howdy, Mike Witt” or my name in the drop down, it tries to take me to wp-admin/profile.php. But if I go further down in the drop down to the “left opening” menus, those work.

I took a quick look in track, but anything I can think of to search on gets too many hits to wade through. I wonder if anyone who knows more could comment on whether this is a known bug in the BP forum or if it means there’s something odd about my account.

[p3t3rr]

Hi everybody,

I am setting up a bbpress forum and am complementing it with buddypress community functionality.

Is there a way to let a user edit his short description within buddypress profile, without accessing the /wp-admin dashboard? I have completely restricted access to /wp-admin for subscribers, because I don’t want them to get in contact with it at all.

On the budypress profile startpage one can see the self description of a given user. Below it there is a link saying (roughly translated) “edit your description here”. The link is pointing to “/wp-admin/profile.php#description”.

What I need to achieve is subscribers be able to edit this self description visible on the user profile start page without accessing the wp-admin area. How can I achieve this?

Best regards, peter

One question. I’m trying to remove some menu items, but it only works if I add 2 different codes to functions.php and bp-custom.php.

This one goes to functions.php

function exclude_tab_if_not_personal_profile() {
    if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
        bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
    }
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'exclude_tab_if_not_personal_profile' );

And this one to bp-custom.php

function bp_remove_nav_item() {
    global $bp;
    bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->profile->friends, 'change-avatar' );
}
add_action( 'wp', 'bp_remove_nav_item' );

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It works… but

1. The “friends” tabs appears in the profile (top navbar), and I just need it to appear in the profile menu (sidebar).

2. Adding this piece of code for removing MORE items do nothing.
The combination I used for bp-custom.php.

function bp_remove_nav_item() {
    global $bp;
    bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->profile->friends, 'change-avatar' );
    bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->profile->forums, 'change-avatar' );
    bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->profile->media, 'change-avatar' );
}
add_action( 'wp', 'bp_remove_nav_item' );

and for functions.php

function exclude_tab_if_not_personal_profile() {
    if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
        bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
        bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );
        bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'media' );
    }
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'exclude_tab_if_not_personal_profile' );

Thanks, I would really appreciate any help, as apparently none of solutions found on this forum worked for me.

[jseanm69]

One other little question/variable. Everything works fine on one forum, but not the other. They are all part of the same theme and CSS. Configured the same as far as I can tell. The big difference is that one forum as 2500 users and the other has 900. I really don’t see anything else different. Is there a specific php script that returns members as part of buddypress? Could this some sort of query/memory issue?

[PvK2020]

BTW.. I can change the group-forums by hand to a category and place (by hand) child-forums underneath. Works great (and is a lot of work)… until I edit my group. Then the group is confused, because the group-forum changed to a category. It creates a new forum itself (so, now I’ve a forum and a category (with child forums) with the same name and only the new empty forum displays in the group.

When I go to the group-settings again, I can’t change it back because then I can’t set a category as THE group forum. Sigh..

[PvK2020]

Oh, AND actually… I also want the automatical created ‘group-forum’ to be a category instead of a forum, so no one can post there anything. Only in the (hopefully automatic created) child-forums.

[suberd1]

I have set up user groups for different activities, (Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4,) then created Forum topics https://prnt.sc/tipt9e
So I want only the users from Group 1 to be able to see Topic 2 https://prnt.sc/tiq7xn
For the rest user groups that topic should be invisible/hidden, I don’t want the whole forum to be hidden, I just need one topic of the forum. Can you please let me know if it is possible?
