BuddyPress.org

From time to time, we hear reports of this. No-one has figured out if it’s a theme issue, or a plugin issue, or a BuddyPress issue, or some sort of WordPress config issue. I’ve never been able to recreate it, nor have the other core developers, which suggests it’s something outside of BuddyPress or the BP-Default theme.

This has been brought up in the forums before. I recall some causes to pre-filled profile fields in registration page:
– plugin conflict with an SEO plugin and a captcha plugin – can’t recall specifically which ones but deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress, then activating plugins by batches of three helped them identify the culprit/s.
– theme conflict where theme added options for SEO and the like

Hi @creaturis,

I think the best solution is to avoid recording an activity if the post has one of the category you want to exclude from activity stream, in the functions.php file of your active theme, you can try this code :

function do_not_record_this_category( $post_id, $post ){

/* this is the array that contains the category to exclude */
$ids_to_exclude = array( 4 );

if ( 'publish' != $post->post_status )
return false;

$categories = get_the_category( $post_id );
$in = false;

if( count($categories) > 0 ) {

foreach ( $categories as $category ) {

if( in_array( $category->cat_ID, $ids_to_exclude) )
$in = true;

}

/* if the post has at least one excluded category, then we remove the BuddyPress hook that records an activity */
if( $in )
remove_action( 'save_post', 'bp_blogs_record_post', 10, 2 );

}

}

add_action( 'save_post', 'do_not_record_this_category', 9, 2 );

In 1.6 you can set the visibility of profile fields to logged in users, friends or anyone. I haven’t seen the behavior you’re describing.

I believe everything in the Base profile field group is on the registration form.

If you create a new group of profile fields, those won’t be on the registration form.

The only change to the database structure for BP 1.6 is to the bp_activty table. We’re adding the following column, and index:

is_spam tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
KEY is_spam (is_spam)

You’re welcome. testbp.org’s running BP 1.6 trunk and the registration page just has the profile fields you can add as site/super admin.

Yes, there are major changes in upcoming BP 1.6. You can add profile fields via dashboard menu Users > Profile Fields

Usually a custom theme issue. Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is corrected.

you could create custom profile php. save the user type to user meta. then do an if statment to populate page.

Id have one page that switches through user type and then calls a seperate page with profile code

you might have trouble with different fields

I working on getting a list of members based on the fields they selected on the extended profiles fields in buddypress. Here is my code

{
global $wpdb;
$membership_group = “Orange Membership (30,000 Naira/Year)”;
$db_query = “SELECT user_id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 33 AND value = “” .$membership_group .”””;
$match_ids = $wpdb->get_var($db_query);
$get_these_members = ‘include=’ .$match_ids;

if (bp_has_members($get_these_members, ‘per_page optional=9’)) { ?> //Some Codes here
?>
}

The result is returning just the first member it gets from the query instead of a list of members. Please what i’m i doing wrong.

Thanks
