Hi Ryan,

You can use Shortcodes for BuddyPress plugin to display BuddyPress activities on any page. You can find it here: https://wbcomdesigns.com/downloads/shortcodes-for-buddypress/

It also provides shortcodes for members and groups, allowing you to display member and group directories on any custom page.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

To assign a custom template to your BuddyPress registration page instead of using the standard blog post template, you can follow these steps:

Install a Page Builder: Consider using a page builder like Elementor along with the BuddyBuilder plugin. This combination allows you to create a custom registration template easily.

Create a New Template: Navigate to Templates > Add New in your WordPress dashboard. Choose “BuddyPress” as the template type and select the “Register page.”

Design Your Template: Add the necessary widgets such as “Account Details,” “Profile Details,” and a “Submit Button.” You can also customize the layout to fit your site’s design better.

Set the Template: Once your template is created, ensure it is set as the default for the registration page in the BuddyPress settings.

Test Your Changes: After saving your changes, visit the registration URL to confirm that the new template is applied correctly.
By following these steps, you should be able to assign a custom template to your BuddyPress registration page successfully. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!

@whyknott I would have posted this sooner, but I was looking into the relationship between the BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH CONSTANT and cropping preview area, which requires a deeper dig into this process. Neither here nor there, as previously mentioned, I don’t recognize any of the filters that end in ‘_resize_args’ and AFAIK, there are technically 2 (two) but the one I used has the hook name of:

bp_after_attachment_avatar_edit_image_parse_args

To elaborate further, there is a bp_before_..._parse_args and a bp_after_..._parse_args, FWIW. Moving along, your custom_bp_avatar_quality callback function should work with this hook, IOW use the following to set the resize quality for Avatar:

add_filter( 'bp_after_attachment_avatar_edit_image_parse_args', 'custom_bp_avatar_quality' );

This should remove any questions or concerns about the jpg/jpeg compression level, i.e., “quality”. assuming that a value of 100 is used for resize and crop. If the Avatar is still “horribly blurry” or utilizing your new term “lousy” then the issue resides elsewhere, e.g., scaling/zooming the Avatar to something greater than 100%. Since I don’t know your scenario/situation, I’ll stop at this point.

To display the current user’s menu outside of their profile in BuddyPress, you can use the bp_get_menu function. This function retrieves the menu items for the current user and returns them as an array.

Here’s an example code snippet that you can use to display the current user’s menu in the header or footer:
`
<?php
$menu_items = bp_get_menu( array( ‘user_id’ => get_current_user_id() ) );
if ( ! empty( $menu_items ) ) {
echo ‘<ul>’;
foreach ( $menu_items as $menu_item ) {
echo ‘<li><a href=”‘ . $menu_item[‘url’] . ‘”>’ . $menu_item[‘label’] . ‘</a></li>’;
}
echo ‘</ul>’;
}
?>
`
This code retrieves the menu items for the current user using bp_get_menu, then loops through the array and displays each menu item as a list item.

You can place this code in your theme’s header or footer file, or in a separate template file, depending on your site’s structure.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

I have a BIG headache when using BuddyPress and wager many others do too. I have many users join my site every day which I’ve set to manually approve each user(membership). Many membership requests I quickly approve as I see from their answers to my varied signup questions they are genuine.

@epgb101 I can help you automate this manual approval process.

Thank you for bringing up the issue you’re facing with profile image uploads on the forum. I understand the frustration that comes with encountering difficulties after updating to the latest version of BP. It appears that the update might have introduced a bug or compatibility issue. To assist you, I suggest trying the following steps: Firstly, clear your browser cache and cookies to eliminate any potential interference from cached data. Secondly, temporarily disable any plugins or browser add-ons that may interact with the image upload process. This will help identify any conflicts causing the upload problem. Additionally, ensure that your image dimensions are set to 150 x 150 pixels in Photoshop before uploading, as you mentioned this workaround has been successful for you. By following these steps, you should be able to overcome the profile image upload issue. If the problem persists, I recommend reaching out to the forum’s support team for further assistance. Best of luck in resolving this matter, and please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

@ingenxcomputers I am seriously stressing because my site is constantly being violated by Russian bots after this latest update and you are splurting out nonsensical questions … Seriously?

The plugin I mentioned is very well documented. I suggest that in the future you do a bit of homework first before jumping in without offering any advice or solutions

If you’re looking to add a background image and personalize the ‘Sign Up’ page further, you can use custom CSS. Here’s a simple example to get you started:

css
Copy code
#signup-form {
background-image: url(‘your-image.jpg’);
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding: 24px;
}
Replace ‘your-image.jpg’ with the URL of the image you’d like to use. You can customize the padding, background size, position, and other properties to suit your preferences.

To implement this:

Access your platform’s customization or theme settings.
Look for an option to add custom CSS.
Paste the provided code snippet.
Save your changes.
This should apply the background image to the ‘Sign Up’ page as per your specifications. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

opps ] Let me provide you with an alternative approach that disables the activity form for users, making it more secure. You can achieve this by disabling the form functionality entirely. Here how you can modify the code to accomplish thi

php
Copy code
function disable_activity_form_for_non_admins() {
if ( ! current_user_can( ‘administrator’ ) ) {
remove_action( ‘init’, ‘function_that_creates_activity_form’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘disable_activity_form_for_non_admins’ );
In this code snippet, replace ‘function_that_creates_activity_form’ with the actual function name or hook that creates the activity form. This modification disables the activity form functionality for non-administrative users by removing the action that creates the form during the init hook.

This way the form wont be available in the HTML markup, making it more secure compared to just hiding it with CSS. Remember to place this code in your theme’s functions.php file or in a custom plugin file.

Again make sure to back up your site before making any changes, and test the modified code in a safe environment first to ensure it works as expected. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to ask!
