Ok, so I got this piece of code, but I don’t understand it perfectly:

function bpcodex_rename_group_tabs() {
 
    if ( ! bp_is_group() ) {
        return;
    }
    
    buddypress()->groups->nav->edit_nav( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Group Discussion’, ‘buddypress’ ) ), ‘forum’, bp_current_item() );
}
add_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bpcodex_rename_group_tabs’ );

which is the old item (‘Group Discussion’?) and the new one (‘forum’?)? Am I changing from ‘Group Discussion’ to ‘forums’ or the other way round?

This forum is just for display purposes right? Thank you very much support I managed to fix the issues on my own.

[mfalk75]

@mairaj Thanks for your solution, seems to be working great. One thing though, I noticed my group forum topics still don’t display. The seo meta title is just the name of the group forum for individual topics. Thant can’t be good.

BuddyPress themes are basically WordPress themes. Technically all themes “should” be compatible with BuddyPress.
If you’re looking more into template overriding then check the documentation link above.

Try this : https://themeforest.net/item/kleo-pro-community-focused-multipurpose-buddypress-theme/6776630, https://themeforest.net/item/wplms-learning-management-system/6780226 , https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress/buddypress

Regarding your question :
Check existing topics in this forums, this has been answered several times.

Add tab to user profile from plugin

[Henry Wright]

This question is forum related so try asking over at bbPress.

[Nahum]

…or might there be a way to target blog/forum comments after enabling blog/forum comment sync? once the blog comment activity becomes an activity_comment…I lose the ability to format the content on different CPT new_cpt_comments.

OK, I can add users to a group. Thanks for that. But now I am very confused about the process.

I am using Buddy Press and bbPress and perhaps I shouldn’t be using both, but I need some guidance here.

Having added members to a group, I go to the forum and click on Members and I see a list of members with an “Add Friend” or “Cancel Friendship Request” next to each member. I have clicked on Add Friend and some (but not all) of the members I added as a friend got an email that said “Bob Jones wants to add you as a friend… click here.” When the “friend” clicked the link, he gets and error message: “There was a problem accepting that request. Please try again.”

So I am stuck here. I cannot get people into the group and the process seems to require way too many steps… create WP user, invite friend… wait for acceptance (which doesn’t work)… invite to join group… wait some more… TOO MANY STEPS. How do I make this SIMPLE?

Sorry for you, but you have to debug.

Also, activate a default Twenty theme and deactivate all plugins exxcept BP.
WP+BP should work correctly with a Twenty theme before activating any other plugin or custom theme.

If you use some custom code in your theme (or child theme), deactivate it provisory. Same thing if you use bp-custom.php

https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

Search also the forum as they are many related topics for debuging BP.

Hi, I didn’t have a chance to get back to this, but I remember seeing something on the WP codex about how to add columns to admin screens… if custom code is required then I’d probably do a custom solution rather than use Admin Columns.. so I could then give it back to the community… .. this should be core rather than depending on 3rd party paid component.

I mean in the same way that WordPress shows Posts column linking to Posts in the User screen /wp-admin/users.php I would expect that for sites which are mainly using bbPress and BuddyPress that the equivalent columns Forum posts, Activities, Group membership should be of interest to all..

If you have got anything that will help, please post it!

metalhead, thanks for the non-support comment, which is refreshing to read!

Glad that you understand that those of us that reply on the forums do it on our own free time, and not for the glory.

Next step from becoming an enthusiast is to make the leap to contribution *hint hint*. That’s how most of us get involved. We can always use more help.

For those reading this and still looking for a solution, I am using ‘buddyforms’ and ‘buddyforms add post to group’. Buddyforms is a front end posting plugin with heaps of features. For my site I created a CPT called communities and when the form is submitted it automatically creates a group. I am also using a plugin called ‘Address Autocomplete Using Google Place Api’. I have added a text feild with google locations to my community forms. All my groups are now searched using geomywp and they have category filters. I am also adding child posts (created with buddyforms) to my community post types. Now my groups are called communities, they have locations, custom feilds, child posts (multiple forums, events, posts, documents, products) and all the features that groups offer.

How did you install bbPress?

It sounds like you activated the “Group Forums (Legacy)” component in BuddyPress. You should try disabling that.

[danbp]

Please read the forum before asking… A similar question came up yesterday with an answer to

This modification not work… I don’t understand why

customizing profile-header

[danbp]

Try this plugin:
https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-usernames-only

For the “why”, perhaps it is because “chat” and “forum” have their own logic. Both aren’t part of BuddyPress.
Note also that there is no obligation to use all the things appearing on the templates. If you don’t want them, symply remove or hide them.

For example, the names who appear on profile header are effectively different. Why would you need to use both, that’s nonsense! I guess this is only in so you can choose which one is better for your project. And it is so because (probably) it is better and easier to choose between something you see thant between something theoretical exposed or detailed in code comments…

Note that my remark concern only the appearence, not the internal fonctionality of username vs.displayname or nicename.

[danbp]

Read first this:

the author posts – members / search results

and eventually ask on bbpress support forum.

Telling which kind of forum install you use would be helpfull to help you.

[Henry Wright]

In that case there’s a few options. You could try to find a plugin. If a plugin isn’t available you could suggest the feature. Alternatively you could hire a developer.

• https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/
• https://wordpress.org/ideas/
• https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/

Hope this helps!

[Henry Wright]

Just disallowing file uploads probably won’t work because BuddyMedia is likely to have extra functionality that needs to be disabled (such as albums)

Try asking this same question on their support forum:

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddymedia

[Hugo Ashmore]

Note: Please do not provide a .php fix. I edited the php a couple days ago to apply a fix (unrelated to this one) and it crashed my entire site. I will not be editing the php.

I suggest then that you consider contracting a developer to do this for you or contact memberpress to provide a solution.

We are a volunteer help forum for buddypress, the best we can really do is provide code that might help you but doing that while bearing in mind offering code is more than should be expected on these sorts of forums.

[jayhova4x4]

Yes, That is to say members of a specific group have full access to forums that that group has privileges to. If a forum is a child forum any group that has access to the child has access to the parent and the parent’s parent etc. Forums to which a user does not have access might be either private or hidden.

[Muhammad Kashif]

you mean to see forums from groups the user is member of ?

[danbp]

Sorry, but as i said, you’re alone. If you’re stuck with coding, try to hire a dev.

[tonkymm]

No. They are not in spam. My coworker contacted WPMU dev support and they seemed to not be able to send BuddyPress emails either. WordPress emails work, i.e. forgot password and registration through wordpress works.

[danbp]

Hi,

No post on the net is useful for for me.

They’re tons on this forum, related to this same problem…

Which is not a problem, but you have to setup the BP pages correctly.

This slug is false (malformed): http://festivals.my/index.php/register/

index.php is a document. /register/ is a folder. Do you have documents containing folders on your computer ? Certainly not. Why would you that a web server would be configured differently ?

Read the install guide and the chapter related to “pages“, setup BP and activate the permalinks to whatever but “default”.

[InTempest]

Well thats unfortunate, I figured something like this HAD to exist for wordpress since it has been a feature in PHPbb for quite some time. I wonder if I can use Iframes to set the phpbb forum with the proper application into wordpress, at least until I sell a kidney to afford a dev to write the wordpress plugin.

[valuser]

Check out BP Moderation it may still work – it relies on users to “flag” items and if an item attracts x amount of flags the author and admin are warned and admin has an easy filter to delete the comment. x is set by admin.

2,3,4 i believe have been answered many times on this forum – google and they should come up.
