Hiya! I’m in the process of creating a social health website for student and coaches. Does anyone know of a plugin that let’s my users keep personal private journals on their profiles? I’ve been looking for this feature online all afternoon, but I’m starting to think it might not exist.
Thanks 🙂
Right, so, when I pick the Activity menu item which appears to be public, as soon as I click on it, two options show up, Post in (My profile, or groups) and Post Update.
Er… now it’s working again. What the???
I posted without picking either choice and my post was made public. Before that, not only would it not go public but it was just plain lost. It didn’t show up anywhere.
Guess something burped and it’s working now.
Not sure what you mean by “public area” — everything is assumed public, unless it’s explicitly private (like private/hidden groups.)
I am using Tersus theme from ThemeForest (which is advertised as BuddyPress theme).
My permalinks are set to postname.
BuddyPress is installed , to create forum it’s asking to install bbpress.
So the bbpress (without the BuddyPress) forum works.
But when I go to the BuddyPress newly created pages (groups, forums,members) I get those problems. Can’t create groups, can’t create forum, can’t send private message to memebers. Error message :There was an error saving group details, please try again.
Wondering how users can Post Updates which go into the public area. The only two options which show up are My Profile and any Groups which exist.
I thought this was working when I first started configuring BP.

When you create the group, it can be a private group. Try creating a test group that’s private and play with it. Create a test user and try it out.
I would explore plug-ins to see if there may be a fix there for you. I’ve never tried to have this level of specific customization, usually plug-ins are the answer.
Some of this may be theme specific.
Ok. I need to figure out a way for profiles to create private posts with password logins. I.E. I need a production company to be able to show or be able to post when a Gig going on. Call Time. Location. Etc… but they need a level of privacy for obvious reasons. Any suggestions?
Could I maybe constrain the posts to say groups? Meaning let a group or profile be the actual show and only allow profiles that’s become part of that group to see?
Thanks.
Hi, I run a BP powered website, BP is in the private part of the site.
When a user wants to delete an unconfirmed invite to a group using the remove invite button, it doesn’t work and goes to a 404 page. Any ideas?
Depends. You might have set some groups to public and thus have public forums while you set up the others as private groups which then have respective private forums.
I have been trying to adapt Buddy Press to my current theme, The Morning After. I have been able to figure out how to make it slightly better but there’s still some issue. Before, it was all messed up with the sidebar in the wrong place and the buddypress section taking up the whole width. I was able to get it to look like this:
http://www.paulsguitarschool.com/activity
by messing with the DIV column spans. However, you can see that the buddypress section is still too wide. THe total column span is 14, with the sidebar taking three (set at “first”) and the buddypress content taking up seven, set at “last”. This set up has worked perfectly on every other page , but with the buddpress pages, the content is too wide and irregular. And for some reason, different parts of the content have different widths, like that line below RSS seems to go to far to the left, while the parts above go to far too the right. It should have a nice pad all around, such as:

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Does someone know where is the problem ?
Thanks
If you are proficient at coding you may be able to figure it out, i couldn’t. the feature is going to be built into the next version of buddypress if you can’t wait and manage to figure it out please let me know cause i’d love to be able to do that as well.

Hi ! How i create private fields ? For only admin and profile owner. BP 1.6
Thanks,
Actually i think that your code should work and that my problem may be not where i thought. problem.
When i use
define(‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );
it works but when i put it in a function like that, nothing happens:
function redirect_to_forum(){
define('BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION', 'forum' );
}
add_action('wp','redirect_to_forum');
So, i think that’s why nothing happens when i try to add your code.
Do you know what’s wrong with my function ?
Just came across this issue. Updates in Groups that were previously public, now private, are shown to a non-member in All Activities page. However, if they open the group page, they are of course told that it’s private (nothing is shown). Isn’t there a way for the loop to just check the group privacy status for each activity item?
This is in 1.6.1 (as WP plugin)
This is not tested but you don’t want the define to run if a member is not a member of a private group.
if ( bp_group_is_visible  &&  bp_is_group_member() ) {
define(‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );
}
Sorry, here is what i tried :
function redirect_to_forum() {
global $bp;
if( bp_is_group_members() )
define(‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_to_forum’ );
Hi,
I have the same problem, i tried this :
but it doesn’t work, am i doing something wrong ?
Besides i got a warning message :
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /homez.38/centrale/www/demo/demo/INELSE/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:10) in /homez.38/centrale/www/demo/demo/INELSE/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/classes/em-notices.php on line 11
If someone has a solution, it would be really great
Or, if group is private and user is not member
Just wrap that define with code that tests if a user is a member of group.
I am having the exact same problem. I submitted it as a ticket:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4706
What is happening is its trying to redirect to the home tab, then the change default filter moves it to the other tab, which causes the loop.
Until its fixed simply add ‘/home’ to the line mentioned in the ticket.
Boris,
I have a few questions. I really like what you’re offering in Shabushabu and have questions about utility.
1. So this map can be added to each user profile to correlate to their location. Can you set it to private?
2. On your events plugin can you set the event geo tag to correlate with the profile. Meaning if you have a profile search event, to create begin and end point for instant navigation.
3. Is this offered to the US? I’m not sure what the prices are for us here.
Thanks,
Jeremiah
