    Hello, I have Buddypress and Achievements for WordPress (the author is not active or providing support). This is an internal company site and I want to make the Achievements private so that users can only see their own achievements.

    I’ve figured out how to make the xprofile Achievements tab only appear for the current user and admins with this code:

    function hide_achievements_from_users() {
    global $bp;
    if ((bp_loggedin_user_id() == bp_displayed_user_id()) || (current_user_can('manage_options'))){
    return;
    }
    bp_core_remove_nav_item('achievements');
    }
    add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'hide_achievements_from_users', 99 );

    However a user can still browse other user’s achievements by manually typing out the url like http://mysite.com/members/username/achievements/

    Is there a way I can make this section of user’s profiles private so that only they (and admins) can view it? Users should still be able to visit another user’s profile, it is only the /achievements/ at the end of the URL which needs to be blocked.

    John, Thank you for the pointers.

    I gave the Role bp_moderate but that did not solve the issue. There must be some other check that needs to be passed for these menu items to show up.

    Maybe a compromise could be found and some new functionality for the front end could be introduced that allows you to assign someone as Group Admin. I think i am not the only one that sees value in that Role especially in a big community where you have the need to moderate but do not want to give people access to the backend or higher Administrative privileges.

    I also don’t quite understand why a Group admin could not be derived from one of the Forum Roles. A forum Moderator or Keymaster should be able to moderate all Forums incl. the private group ones and could subsequently also be allowed to manage all groups.

    Just my 2 cents. let me know what you think.

    I want to modify the activity loop so that

    • it includes postings from private/ hidden groups joined by the member (currently the activity page shows postings in public groups only)
    • recency is determined by the last comment on a post. So, a post made three weeks back but with a comment today comes on top (this also does not happen currently)

    How can I do that? If not example.com/activity loop, is there a way to add another loop or modify any other loop/ page to achieve this?

    Hello guys

    What I used is:
    – BuddyPress with combination of either bbP private groups plugin or Members plugin or Restrict Content Pro – bbPress plugin
    – I created extended BuddyPress profile fields in registration
    – I restricted access to the forum with one of above mentioned plugins
    – I used my code mentioned in the beginning

    How it looks like:
    – my code works like a charm! once you choose User1 type in registration, it applies subscriber role, User2 subscriber as well, contributor for User3 – THIS WORKS.
    – what does NOT work is restriction via plugins. Have no clue why. With members plugin od pivate groups, I set Forum1 to be accessable ONLY to User3 type of user, but User1 and User2 can access too! Why?! It has nothing to do with my code, after registration you can clearly check it in WP Users that the role has been assigned.

    If I knew hot to restrict access to the forum based on the WP Role, my code would be sufficient to solve this. Can you help with that part?

    @youmin – are upi saying in BB 2.2 access to forum based on the WP role is fixed?

    @style960 there are two problems with that plugin. One, it does not integrate with the filter drop-down box and two, it does not search contents of private groups.

    Not searching in private groups is a more severe drawback.

    Any suggestions on rectifying the problem? Any other solution?

    Hi all

    I have been working on a Buddypress theme, about 4 months I estimate due to having no knowledge of PHP.

    It is almost finished and would like some feedback on layout and functionality.

    Or register and check out the “like” system and other functions

    Hi, I’d like to move all of the functionality of the BuddyPress Bar to my main Navigation Menu. The menu is one of normal menus that are editable from the WP Dashboard, as in “register_nav_menus”. Pardon my ignorance 🙂

    I already have a “Profile” item in the desired menu with subitems. I would simply like to replace “Profile” with “Howdy, [username]” (along with all of it’s sub items).

    I am running WP 4.1 and BP 2.1.1. Unfortunately, my site is currently private, so I can’t provide a link for visual. I hope I included enough info. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hello all – first of all a huge thanks to the BuddyPress team for building this great and powerful plugin.

    I’m working on a site where we are using BuddyPress for social/community functions. We are having an issue with the Private Messaging function – when I try to access messaging (via the /members/username/messages URL) I get a ‘Page Not Found’ error.

    We are running WP 4.0 and BP 2.1.1, using a customized theme based off the Fullby theme.
    I’ve verified that ‘Private Messaging’ is checked in the BuddyPress Components Settings.

    What I’ve tried so far:
    Switched to both twentyfourteen and bp-default themes.
    Deactivated all plugins except BP.
    Re-uploaded BP 2.1.1 via FTP.

    None of this solved the issue.

    Has anyone experienced this before or have advice on further troubleshooting? Am I missing something basic? Thanks for any advice!

    Hi there,

    I’m quite new to buddypress. Currently using it to set up a community-driven marketplace. Direct messaging between potential customers and suppliers is an important feature – but it’s vital that we (the admin) may see these messages.

    I’m quite sure that this was possible on my (under-construction) site a few weeks ago, just adding a “/messages” at the end of each users url

    But now this doesn’t work anymore!
    I tried to deactivate some plugins – without any result. Did maybe anything change with buddypress or wordpress during the last updates? or do you have any other ideas?

    And does this “/messages”-trick work for you (being logged in as admin)..?

    Thanks!!

    Hi,

    reffering to this thread I am experiencing the following:
    https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bugs-between-bbpress-and-buddypress/

    If user create a public group and decide to change the group from public to private, the group becomes private, but the group forum doesnt. So the private posts from a private group appear in global activity stream. I tried the ‘recaculate relationships’ tool, but it has no impact.

    Creating private group with private forum works fine. Its just the change from one mode to another, that has not impact on the forum settings.

    Thanks for help.

    @buddyboss

    but the tab to see all of their Likes is only available to them for privacy reasons.

    In BP-buddyboss river, everyone can see what I have liked – so it is not private. Default BP does allow to see other users’ Favorits in the Favorit tab in Profile page – why does Buddyboss kills this? At least site admin should be able to turn it on or off.

    Wall does not have every FB feature,

    buddypress-activity-plus allows to post link, video etc quite nicely and is thus more user-friendly than the premium Wall plugin, imho. There is also a plugin by Brajesh that allow front-end blog posting via BP

    Buddyboss is never meant to load every plugin but if a chosen few are bundled, it will be really good rather than re-inventing wheels at premium plugins, features of which are already available in the WP-BP repo. If users like us see thay they are well integrated into the Buddyboss look and feel there can be more sales of the Buddyboss theme actually.

    We may make a spam solution at some point in time. This is a tricky one. Every solution you make only works for a bit, then the spammers figure out your tactic and update

    Let wp com users at least post to pre-sales and/or free discussion forum. You can do this via jetpack

    a member sent me the same private message 4x within the same thread.

    i’d like to remove all but one of the messages and respond.

    it would be goofy to respond to the 4th message instance — because the message is exactly the same.

    so, ideally, i would remove instance2, instance2, and instance4, leaving instance1 and the keeping the thread in tact.

    When in doubt, back up your database! You’ve probably heard that lots of times but in situations like this where the outcome is uncertain, it is definitely worth being prudent.

    searched a bit and apparently, the word on the forum-street is: there is no way to delete PM except through the DB. is that still true?

    Are you referring to an individual private message, or a whole thread? There should definitely be a way to delete an entire thread via the front-end. It will depend on your theme but by default, there should be a delete button available.

    a member either accidentally or due to some other issue, sent me the same private message four times.

    the convo thread is a bit silly.

    i wanted to delete three of the messages, but noticed: it looks like i can’t!

    searched a bit and apparently, the word on the forum-street is: there is no way to delete PM except through the DB. is that still true?

    also, if i go into the DB and just delete the whole row for those 3 instances — i won’t break anything else in BP will i?

    best wishes to all of you in 2015!

    I have a new project in mind I’m experimenting WordPress with a few plugins to achieve what I desire. However, I haven’t been able to achieve everything exactly as I want, so your feedback is much appreciated since I am new to WordPress.

    I’m building up a blog with 4 different categories where different Contributors can write new posts and interact with the Participants in the forum (better way to comment and reply to questions using the forum, than WordPress’s commenting system). These Contributors, however, must have their own public profile and allow for Participants to subscribe to their posts. So far, I’ve used different plugins:

      bbPress
      BuddyPress
      bbPress Topics for Posts -> Allows me to automatically create a new Topic in the forum for each newly published Post. This is how the Author will interact with the participants.
      BP Blog Author Profile Link -> When clicking the Author’s name, redirects to its BuddyPress member’s page.
      BuddyPress Follow -> I only need a few components of BudyPress’s social capacities… Friendship is not one of them. I just want participants to follow their desired Author and be notified of his/her new blog post. This plugin allows members to just follow other members without Friendship requests.

    These set of plugins solves *almost* every problem. However, I still need to change a few things like:

      the ability to Allow members to follow Authors and be notified of their new posts: so far, members can only check if a member has published something by accessing its Activity tab under his/her profile page. The member is not notified of this activity…
      disable the “Activity” part of BudyPress: I don’t want this on every member’s profile, but if I disable this component, members can not check for Authors’ latest blog posts…

    There are others thing I must change, but these are the most important ones. How can achieve such a thing? Should I not use BuddyPress at all (and loose its bbPress nice integration)? How can I improve its notification system while still not allowing them exchange messages (public or private) and activity statuses?

    I’ve search for a few plugins that could improve BuddyPress to work as I need, but could not found any. I’m not a PHP programmer neither I know how WordPress works, but, if needed, I can try to do some coding on BuddyPress… I want to avoid that, if possible, though, as it would cost me time and the solution might not really work properly…

    ANY help is much appreciated! Let me know if you need more information. Thank you, in advance.

    Regards,
    Pedro

    @sbraiden – I had similar 24 second page load times, and tried to get advice for enqueing, dergistering, and compacting the multiple and overlapping java and css all these plugins attached to buddypress are mixing in on top of the themes stuff.

    Y Slow gives my BP site with basic plugins an “F” – WP professionals shrug it off – meh.

    (more one all that here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/deregister-enque-compact-css-and-java-jquery-buddypress-load-time )

    I have a sneaky suspicion however that my load times were an issue for me when logged in, and perhaps being logged in as an admin, I THINK that the (stupid) wpmudev dashboard plugin was slowing down my page load speed dramatically more than anything else. It was strange that after I complained of my long page loads, that 2 days later wpmudev had an update for their dashboard thing, and then my page load time went to like 3 seconds. – Coincidence, maybe, nothing definitive. – Everyone else said the pages loaded fine – so maybe it was just an admin thing – or maybe my ghostery blocking gravatar loads or something.

    ANYHOW – in regards to hosting, I have a small buddypress site running fine on a shared server with amerinoc. I have one that is fairly busy running fine on a dedicated server at certified hosting.

    I personally think that most important thing for a WP based site to perform well is blocking all the bad bots.

    I have found that blocking all the naver and badu spiders (And most others) with a robots/txt file has decreased the sql over load (at peak times) on my servers by more than 80%.

    I found that hosting a few wp sites on a shared server or dedicated could cause problems not just with spiders crawling pages too much too fast for indexing, but also all the attempting account creations / account brute force logins – even if they are blocked with something like sucuri or limit login attempts – every time they tried to login – they were using up server resources to load the login page, then hit the database to check credentials.

    I also suggest using a pwd auth like explained here: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/wordpress-login-brute-force-attack

    locking down the login with a double thing like that is fine for most WP installs, and a private family / friends BP site should be fine – when the bots can’t login through the first thing there is no need for wordpress to load a bunch of php / css files and pull from SQL a bunch of times just to give a bot a failed login – It becomes a problem for general open to the public buddypress comms I guess.

    Now I set all my non-BP sites to use the double auth, I block all search engine bots aside from the top three selectively with robots.txt – and now just about any server can run fine with wp / bp – especially if some attention is paid to plugin overhead, wp-cacheing tools.

    I have my fingers crossed the new bp-mediapress (sp? and Beta!) plugin thing will decrease the plugin overhead of rtmedia and offer a better alternative for pics and stuff.

    Same random thoughts – I’m not an expert so take my 2 cents with a grain of salt or two..

    Note: I also posted this on Bbpress as well; not sure where the issue(s) was coming from. Hoping someone can help clarify.

    Hi Folks – I hope someone can take a look at this particular issue I’m having!

    WP 4.1
    BB 2.5.4
    Buddy 2.0.2

    Participants can login, see the forums, but now receive “Oh bother! No topics were found here” when attempting to view the contents of the forum. When I change their status to Moderator, they can see it and write new topics and replies.

    I have subscriber roles that allow them access to the private forums. Changing these settings do not affect their ability to access the forum.

    Is there a setting somewhere in these versions that would cause Participants to lose the ability to read the forums?

    Note – I have deactivated all plugins except bbpress and activated a new theme without change. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I am using buddypress 2.1.1 with bbpress 2.5.4 on WP 4.1 with Wishlist Member. I would like to make it easy for forum members to find their profile and the forum member directory page. Is it possible to insert a link to these pages above the forums? I would prefer to have them somewhere internal to the forums and not in my navigation as this is a private membership site.

    Thank you for your input.

    I run a Mailman email self-help group and am thinking of moving to a forum. But it’s important we can have email notification when messages are posted and can post messages and reply by email. While some members would prefer a forum, we’ve found that having messages turn up in everyone’s inboxes mean more people read them and join in the discussion. And lurkers who say they wouldn’t think to keep checking in on a forum say they find reading the messages as they appear in their inboxes helpful. And it’s quicker to reply by email than to log in to a forum.

    The downsides are that on a busy day, it crowds our inboxes. And it’s not easy to search old messages. So a forum with the option to turn notifications on and off and to reply by email is worth trying.

    – What I don’t know is: do I just need bbPress or should I go for BuddyPress?
    – And how do I set up the email capability?

    I saw the list of plugins in Commons in a Box. It includes BuddyPress Group Email Subscription and BuddyPress reply By Email.

    – Will these do the trick?
    – Will they work with bbPress or do they need BuddyPress?
    – Are there other plugins worth looking at?

    Sorry to ask so much. I haven’t set up a forum before and don’t know the pros and cons of different packages.

    By the way, it’s a private group and some members prefer to remain anonymous. So it’s important that notifications don’t include visible email addresses of other members. I’ve seen some posts in this forum saying some people are having a problem with addresses being CC instead of BCC.

    Thanks for help.

    Clare
    (Am having trouble posting messages in this and the bbPress support forum. Tried twice there and once before here and the messages just disappear. Maybe it’s because I had links to the plugin pages, so I’ll try this time without the link. Sorry if there are duplicate posts appearing somewhere – but I can’t find my own message :0( )

    Hello everyone,

    I have to answers regarding private messaging system and members list.

    First, I would like to know if it is possible to sort members by role in the member list page.

    Secondly, is it possible, when writing a private message, to have a member list appearing when filling the recipient name ? I don’t really know how to explain it in English, so here is a picture (found on WPMU website) :
    http://premium.wpmudev.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/messages61.png

    On my Buddypress set up, I don’t have such feature so it might be tricky to fill the correct name.

    Thanks again for your help.
