BuddyPress.org

Go to your admin > Pages and delete the register and empty the trash

Do the same if you have a Login page.

Then go to settings > buddypress.

– Tab Component and check the one you want.

– Tab Pages and create a page from there for each component.

Save.

Now BP is correctly configured.

Check also settings > permalinks and choose something other as default.

If you created some custom menus before installing BP, double check them to have the new pages.

Done !

hi,

you have to search in your theme files for some of the tags listed here and then retrieve the div.post-header and his content:

`

<header class="post-header">
			bla bla <div class="post-info">
			December 26, 2012 <span>in </span><span class="post-utility alignright"></span><span class="post-action alignright"><a href="hxxp://eragenx.com/login/" title="Permalink to Log In" rel="bookmark">Permalink</a></span></div></header>

`

Here is a solution that works in BuddyPress 1.6. This will prevent new activities from being added and will also prevent the user from showing as recently active. The first option is for admins, the second is for a specific username.

`
// Don’t record activity by the site admins or show them as recently active
function my_admin_stealth_mode(){
if ( is_site_admin() ) {
global $bp;
remove_action(‘wp_head’,’bp_core_record_activity’);
delete_user_meta($bp->loggedin_user->id, ‘last_activity’);
}
}
add_action(‘init’,’my_admin_stealth_mode’);

// Don’t record activity for a user or show them as recently active
function my_user_stealth_mode(){
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if(is_user_logged_in()) {
if(‘YourUsername’ == $current_user->user_login) {
remove_action(‘wp_head’,’bp_core_record_activity’);
delete_user_meta($current_user->ID, ‘last_activity’);
}
}
}
add_action(‘init’,’my_user_stealth_mode’);
`

If its not showing for logged out users but showing for you when you login, go to buddypress > settings> and make sure its clicked to no where it ask’s Hide admin bar for logged out users?

buddydev.com has two nice plugins that might do the brunt of the work for you. http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/ will force your users to their own profile upon login, and http://buddydev.com/plugins/facebook-like-user-activity-stream-for-buddypress/ will feed them content from the groups they are members of and people they are friends with.

I do that on jbsocial.com using the following plugins

Member Access
PC Hide Pages
Peter’s Login Redirect
Simple Access Control

Is there a way to isolate the notifications from the other profile settings?

I’m using amember V4 to manage registration and subscriptions everything is working correctly except for 1 thing… The “settings” menu in the subscribers user profile goes to a blank white page “404” is the error I get.
for example…

http://www.mysmallbizu.com/directory/subscribersusername/settings/

The other issue is that because amember is handling the login and registration/ username and password etc. I’d only like the user to be able to edit their notifications from this menu… Not their U and P: is there a way to do this?

Create a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Copy over sidebar.php from bp-default theme into your child theme’s folder https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php
Remove lines 29 to 58

this should work for excluding all super admins:

`

<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
if( !in_array( bp_get_member_user_login(), get_super_admins() ) ) {
?>`

OK so I’ve had the same problem and have built a very clumsy workaround.

PROBLEM: When the user click the email verification it sends them to verify.php and logs them in to WP but my Buddypress doesn’t know they are logged in and asks them to login. If the user just ignores the login request there is no problem but users don’t do that so they try to login and get the same “error..please provide a valid activation key” message because the account is already active.

MY RUBBISH ANSWER: The only thing that worked for me was to hide the BP admin bar and handle login links manually then change the text on the verify.php to a simple ‘congratulations, you’re in’ message. The downside of this is that I lost the use of my BP-Sliding-Login-Panel which I love. so I would be very grateful for a real solution to this.

put this in your bp-custom.php and change the redirect page url properly.

`
add_action(“template_redirect”,”my_redirect”);
function my_redirect(){

if( !is_user_logged_in()&&is_front_page()){

wp_safe_redirect(get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’).”/about”);
exit(0);
}
}
`

That should work.

For those still looking for a solution to this, you can add the following code to the functions.php file of your active theme. The username gets replaced with the username you wish to hide. Alternatively, you could substitute the stuff in the parens of the conditional with a properly done current_user_can() statement to hide all the administrators.

`
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();

if( $current_user->user_login == ‘username’ ) {
remove_action(“wp_head”,”bp_core_record_activity”);
}
`

if you simply want to hide Admin bar login and sign up, just add

remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );

to your functions.php and login and sign up will go away

Hmm unfortunately, that still did not work. Thanks for all your help thus far guys. Here is how my problem originated:

I recently transferred my site from the default ”/wordpress/” sub directory to my root directory. Everything works fine in BuddyPress except for the LOGOUT and LOGIN menu options from the BuddyPress menu bar (up at the top).

Upon looking at the URL that the logout and login tries to redirect to (in the tag), it still thinks it is in the ”/wordpress” subdirectory and the thus results in a Error 404 – Page Not Found problem.

I’ve search various ways to do this but people have either not have found a solution or seem to not have posted it. I originally thought I could just use the ‘Add All Nav Links to Admin Bar’ plugin (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/) and hide the Login and Sign Up options but unfortunately the “Log Out” still remains since it is under the ‘My Account’.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

You can override this by copying /bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php into your child theme and making the necessary edits there.

If you haven’t built a child theme, follow this guide:

Hi
I know these posts are really old, but does this still work? I’m not quite sure how I really have to do it?
So can maybe someone help me with it please?
I want to hide the username field, and would like to auto-generate the username based on the normal “Name” field in BuddyPress.
So that WP and BP automatically take the first and last name out of the “Name” field. e.g. Name field input: George Smith username: georgesmith

I already have the plugin activated that user can login with their email address.

Thanks for help!
