Hey, BuddyPress uses bbpress for it’s forum software, you may be better asking there. You’ll also find a plugin directory specific to the forums that hopefully will have something that meets your requirements.

Hi there. I am interested in switching to Buddypress from Invision Power Board. I was wondering: in the forums section, is it possible for users to post Instagram, Facebook and Twitter posts? Or can they only simply link to the posts?

I would like for users to have the ability to post the actual Instagram/FB/Twitter post in the comment versus linking. Is this possible?

Ask on bbpress support site: https://bbpress.org/forums/

Hello,

I’m using Learndash and bbpress, my client wanst to have an intro forum where their users will have to make short video and upload in the thread. Is there a way to not host those videos on the site but elsewhere like vimeo or youtube automatically?

[shanebp]

Interesting…
Forums are handled by bbPress.
There may be a need for coordinate between bbPress and BP re account deletion.
Did you ask about this on their support site?
Try to get a response from them.
And then, if necessary, open a ticket here.

Hello,
I am using BP 4.3.0 and WP 5.2.2 and BBP 2.5.14

When deleting an account the following message appears: Deleting you account will delete all of the content you have created. It will be completely irrevocable.

This is not true! The content is still visible in the forums that the user participated in. Which is actually good, but the message is false. Can the message be changed to: Deleting your account will keep the content you have created but will be shown under “Anonymous”…or something similar.
Thank you!

The site we’re working on has to have the ability to output every 10 entries in the activity loop a sponsored or ‘featured’ post. I’ve attacked it from 2 different ways to no avail. One nearly works in that I inject a custom post type of ‘featured post’ that displays 90% of what I want however as it’s a wordpress post not a buddypress post it doesn’t output the ability to comment or any of the usual BP controls in the feed and due to how comments are controlled in WP it’s not possible to override easily/ at all.

I’m comfortable injecting a post into the feed and getting that sorted but does anyone have any ideas on how to get a buddypress post to be the featured post (and it needs to be an array of them as I am posting one every 10 entries so can’t be the same one over and over etc).

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I’ve searched the forums to no avail and haven’t seen a plugin that’ll do it either.

The error is coming from your theme – Not from BuddyPress.

bp_is_user_forums() was removed from BuddyPress since Version 3.0.0

You could delete those two lines from themes/moview/members/single/home.php
If you did not add BP templates to your theme, then you could also send an error report to the creators of your theme.

Iv’e been searching for ways to keep my users on the front-end. The user links in the adminbar here on the buddypress forums will tell me I don’t have access if I click on the top links; I have to click on one of the lower links (created by buddypress) to view my user info and stufff.

Why is it that way instead of having all those links take the user to the profile on the frontend?

I like that part of the admin bar but I want to keep users on the frontend! Please Help!

[Aron Prins]

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to remove group related activity from the “Everything”, but keep it under the my groups tab but can’t find a way to do it on the forums. I found this https://buddypress.org/support/topic/disable-group-posts-from-main-activity-stream/ but this also removes it from the my groups tab 🙁

Does someone perhaps have a snippet laying around or can point me in the right direction to check which tab is selected?

Thanks,
Aron

Hello, I think this issue has been going on for years, but I dont seem to be able to find that it had been fixed at some point!

I am using wp 5.22 bbpress 2.5.14 and buddypress 4.3.0
It still happens when I use different themes and if I uninstall other plugins.

I have hidden buddypress groups which show in the activity stream even if you are not registered or logged in see here
Core women is a hidden buddypress group and should be not visible to anybody except the group members.

In bbpress I have a plugin called private groups which also show in the activity stream. You cant enter the forum via the link, but still you see the heading and actually also the text.
I wonder if this problem is because of a false bbp and BP integration? BP doesnt get the info for private/hidden forums?

I am very new to this and dont have much experience so please tell me what more information I can give.
Has there ever been a solution to this?
Thank you!

Hi,

I have a WooCommerce store with buddypress to give users profiles, social networking capabilities and also bbPress forums. I want to create a subdomain that will have special content for a subscription, separate from the main store. Is it possible to have the buddypress profiles work for both the main site and subdomain with WooCommerce? I am not sure the best way to set this up so users can shop from both stores with 1 account. I assume I need 2 installations of wordpress/woocommerce/buddypress to make it work???

[warrencat]

Thank you for providing this optional approach, @shanebp. If it exists elsewhere on the forum, I hadn’t yet found it. I’ll test with this and report back.

[warrencat]

I’ve been trying for a while with no success to order the member directory by last name (surname) instead of first name. Extensive searching through the support forum and elsewhere would indicate that the following code modifications to a custom members-loop.php file in the theme folder and the theme functions.php file should accomplish this.

My custom members-loop.php file contains:
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&populate_extras&type=alphabetical' . '&per_page=30' ) ) : ?>

My theme functions.php file contains:

function alphabetize_by_last_name( $bp_user_query ) {
    if ( 'alphabetical' == $bp_user_query->query_vars['type'] )
        $bp_user_query->uid_clauses['orderby'] = "ORDER BY substring_index(u.display_name, ' ', -1)";
}
add_action ( 'bp_pre_user_query', 'alphabetize_by_last_name' );

Instead of sorting and displaying members by last name, it returns the message:

Sorry, no members were found.

If I change ‘u.display_name’ in the functions.php file code to ‘u.value’, all the members are listed in the default alphabetical sort order by first name. So, it appears that, for some reason, the code won’t output the expected results when ‘u.display_name’ is used.

I’m posting here in the hopes that someone in this support community might have some additional guidance or suggestions that could help me figure this out.

Here are a couple of the links I’ve previously referenced when trying to get this working:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/sort-user-list-by-last-name/
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/sorting-by-last-name-goes-wrong-when-having-multiple-words-as-last-name/

[Christophe]

Hello,
I am new on the forum, I name myself Christophe and I salute you!

I am trying to modify the default sort and sort the list of members by name.
By default, when I open the members page, there is “Sort by: recently active” and it is embarrassing.

Can someone tell me how to do that?
Thanks to the community

BuddyPress does not include forums.

If you are using bbPress, you should ask on their support forums.

Finding out which words are triggering a filter can be difficult. The people at bbPress should be able to provide specifics re their filter.
If the issue about WP comments rather than forum lists, you could ask on the WP support forums.

[writersabroad]

Not sure if this is a wordpress or buddypress issue so posting in both places. I run a writers community with buddypress and have set up forums where members can post pieces of work. We are experiencing some difficulty with the comment blacklist which prevents some words from being used even if within a word e.g. double breasted…. and one piece of work I can’t for the life of me find the word that is blocking the post… whilst I want to be able to stop spam comments, surely forum posts from members who have to be signed in to post is another thing? Any suggestions? I am useless with code :). Even if we had something which could identify the rogue word we could do something about it…

Thank you

These are the support forums for BuddyPress.

You have a much better chance of getting a reply by using the support forums for BP Better Messages:

[Venutius]

bbPress is the plugin that provides the forums you want to change, so you should ask in the bbPress spport forums.

[Venutius]

You’d be better off asing in the bbPress forums for questions relting to bbPress.

Their repsonse:

Hey There,

Hope you are doing great ????
Also, how can I make it so that admins can’t see members’ private messages?

>> As an admin, you have access to your member’s private messages. That’s by design. Why would you want to restrict access to anything for an admin account? And as the ‘Private Messages’ are part of BuddyPress can you please check it with BuddyPress support forum as BuddyPress is third party plugin and providing support to third party plugin is beyond our support scope.

[TheKillian]

Hello,

First of all, thanks you for making Buddypress! This is a cool extension! 🙂

I have a problem with my Buddypress plug-in, I don’t know if it happen to many of us or not, on my forum I got some “dark themes” and I don’t find any options to configure the colors of my Buddypress plug-in, here’s a picture which show what I see on my forum. I tried to see if is there any settings to config but don’t see anything from.. Tried to change the theme color and it doesn’t change.
So I’m totally lost, maybe you could add a color editor in the futur ?

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activities_include_activity_types' );

This is what is suggested around the forums, but as soon as this is added, the filter by options stop working.

Same goes for bp_after_has_activities_parse_args when setting parameters for followers/freinds only. Is there something missing?

I think this is a bbPress related question, you should ask at https://bbpress.org/forums/
