BuddyPress.org

1. In BuddyPress, we by default get to see member page. I want to know how to redirect someone who is logging in/ new user after registration to News feed?

search for login redirect plugins for buddypress

2. I want to keep those wall, timeline and all in menu bar instead of profile tab. How to do that?

check wp admin bar codex or associated plugins

3. I am unable to hide admin bar/ that WordPress logo bar for non-admin user. no plugin helping me out.

am aware of atleast 2 plugins which are working for me. u need to test/check which ones work with ur theme/setup

4. how to make the menu such that signed in user can see log out button and other sign in/ register?

via buddypress components in the menus. logged in and logged out menu links

5. how to enable realtime notification and instant messaging private n groups both?

notification is already there and its real time. i belive there is a group chat plugin for buddypress as well

6. how to remove show dropdown menu in profile

that would depend on ur theme which u are using

PS:- I don’t know PHP much. moreover, I cannot afford to hire someone.

then this would take much time and effort to customise it as per ur needs

start from here

Configure BuddyPress

If you want to use forums, you should use bbPress instead.

bbPress = forums plugin
BuddyPress = community plugin (member profiles, user groups, private messaging, notifications)

You can use both, but if a forum is all you need, then use bbPress.

I personally am not sure why you would move from phpBB. Installing WordPress just to use a WordPress forum plugin is not the best way to go about things unless you need to blog and use specific WordPress functionality on your site.

well.. i haven’t updatet Buddypress nor have I installed the beta version. But somehow the problem is solved. I had a problem with MyCred as well and they mentioned something about the plugin “user role editor”. Somehow it (or i did by mistake) change the admin role. So maybe this had something to do with the private message issue as well?

If not it was a theme issue because we did receive a update from the theme.

Anyway. thank you all for helping me with this problem

Many topics about this question are already on the forum. You can also read here to get an idea.

Thanks @sharmavishal

I think i’m gonna wait for the update release. THe @mentions work on the activity feed so it’s just the private message error. I hope that will solve it. If not i will have to start searching again 🙂

Again thanks for all the help!

I tested your code and got first a page not found error while trying to send a private message from the new position.
I deactivated both action hook in cover and home files.
Disallowed cover image option. And tested again and everithing worked.
Allowed cover image and worked also.

So i confirm that your code works and all buttons show up (with active href’s), at least with Twenty Sixteen theme, at the members profile page bottom.

In resume, the only thing you have to do is to deactivate the original action hook in both files (so you can allow/disallow cover images).

Forgot to mention that there is a litle error in your code line 133
<?= wpautop(xprofile_get_field_data("About me", bp_displayed_user_id() ) ); ?>

Should be
<?php wpautop(xprofile_get_field_data("About me", bp_displayed_user_id() ) ); ?>

Please don’t double post. I answered you on this topic.

Private message

A user must have friends to send private messages or visit the profile of another user to send him a msg.

Messages

To get it to work, you need also to enable following options in BP settings:
– Friend Connections
– Private messaging
Additionnally, if you want to be notified by email
– Notifications

Whatever the option you activate, best practice is to control how it works on your config. To do that, use only WP, BP and one of Twenty’s theme before activating a third party theme and any other plugin.
This will ensure you that BP is fully working on a standart WP config.

Mention

@mention use AJAX which can in some case, mostly with sophisticated themes or frameworks, lead to conflict. In that case, the culprit isn’t BP or WP, but the theme or a plugin whose code (generally) use a different standart as WP.

If you get issues with mention or messaging, activate wp_debug in wp-config and check your browser JS console to track down errors. The one or the other can give you precious debug information. You can also use a debug tool like Firebug.

     if ( ! is_super_admin() )
	$button = '';

     return $button;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', 'masoud_remove_private_message_button', 1 , 1 );
