the post linked below says how to display the number of unread messages.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-moverelocate-the-links-in-the-admin-bars-my-account-individuallyseparately-to-the-sidebar/

But I would prefer the idea @acaps2007 has proposed, that’s the “notification” item and the mouse over effect, since in a buddypress community, we would have
1. private messages
2. friend requests
3. group requests
4. group invites
5. mentions

Although the last one is not included in the default bp notification count, combining the previous four in one place would still help a lot.

Nope, doesn’t matter in this case, cause the && gets tested before the ||, but you can use parentheses. Doesn’t hurt.

If your site has open registration like you say, then users shouldn’t be redirected to the register page when they’re trying to read a post.

Do you have any redirection or private BuddyPress plugins installed?

@travel-junkie

Shouldn’t that line be:

`if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || ($bp->is_directory && $bp->current_component == ‘your-links-directory-slug’) )`

The added param should be between parentheses ‘cuz the “&&” applies only to the “is_directory”, no?

Well, just add that page to the first if statement in the function. Something like this:

`function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || $bp->is_directory && $bp->current_component == ‘your-links-directory-slug’ )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );`

@Travel-Junkie and @iamjoshfrank I’ve just implemented your ‘sh walled garden’ code to shield my community pages from prying eyes, and it works great.

I was wondering however if you knew a way I could make an exception for the BuddyPress Links Directory (it’s a plugin, so there is no kind of conditional tag for this, as far as I know).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Private Groups’s activity only shows up in activity and search listings if the members are actually currently members of the group.

private groups’ Forums in the group will not show up in the forums directory ever.

I’d double-check that the admin email is correct at yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

Then, make sure that the emails aren’t being zapped by your SPAM filter.

Do you get regular BuddyPress notifications (friend requests, private messages, etc.) to the admin email?

Is your email hosted on the same server as your site? You might try switching the admin email to gmail or whatever to see if the emails go to that other account. Because if your email account is the same as your website domain but you host your email elsewhere (ex. Rackspace, Google Apps), your server might be trying to send the message locally.

@gregfielding @r-a-y ….. thank you so much for bringing up this mentions issue …. i’m using w3tc latest versions of everything …i’ll keep checking back here for possible fix ….one other question lets say they fix the messaging issue in a future version of buddypress (and hopefully the @mentions) how would i know then to remove this from my functions.php file? would it be in the readme file of the latest version as an issue fixed in that release?

Hi,
I had the same problem I have commented from line 174 to line 199 in the
registration/register.php (in child theme)
Here the code

<div id="blog-details"class="show">

	<span class="label">
		<input type="checkbox" name="signup_with_blog" id="signup_with_blog" value="1" checked="checked" /> 	
	</span>

	<label for="signup_blog_url">
		<input type="text" name="signup_blog_url" id="signup_blog_url" value="" />
		<input type="text" name="signup_blog_url" id="signup_blog_url" value="" />
	</label>

	<label for="signup_blog_title"> 
		<input type="text" name="signup_blog_title" id="signup_blog_title" value="" />
	</label>
	
	 <label>
		<input type="radio" name="signup_blog_privacy" id="signup_blog_privacy_public" value="public" checked="checked" /> 
	</label>

	<label>
		<input type="radio" name="signup_blog_privacy" id="signup_blog_privacy_private" value="private" checked="checked" />
	</label>

</div>

@Mouchoirs Do a search for “Private Buddypress site” or something like that and you’ll find lots of threads on how to redirect non-logged in users to the login or registration page.

@djpaul,
Seems like you should be able to just replicate the user account creation calls on another page right? This is something I was considering doing for my project. Basically, someone could upload a list of email addresses and names, and it would create the person’s account, email them a temp password and they’d be good to go. Yes, I know WP use to do temp password and took that out, but in this case it might be useful to do.

is there a way to have a page with all documents uploaded from all groups? of course, preserving the permissions. Meaning that without being logged in you can see only public groups documents, if logged in you see documents from your private groups too.
