@proforma_jec – given that wpmudev’s stuff (most of it anyway) is premium / paid things – you are likely to get little help with their stuff here at bp dot org.. the good thing for you is that wpmudev peeps are usually pretty quick to answer questions there, and generally come up with good solutions quickly as well. I’d suggest you ask about this via their support forums.

>they now see their profile fields displayed 2 times.

Rhetorical questions:
As 2 sets or double entries?
Does the issue remain if you remove the 3rd shortcode?

It should be easy to narrow it down by following the clues given when you explore those questions.

@jrunfitpro
Why you start new thread for exact same question as before you?!
( https://buddypress.org/support/topic/has-anyone-figured-out-how-to-use-optimize-press-2-and-bp-site-tracking/ )

maybe delve into searching the forums..

similar questions and answers 4 days ago -https://buddypress.org/support/topic/post-comments-not-appearing-in-activity-stream/

or point your optimize press to search the forums and codex here and find the fix if you can’t figure it out.

I don’t think you will find a lot of help here with a premium theme and it’s specific issues. Especially since there has been no new information provided.

…euh…read through the code, find some dev comments and try to get further… ?

I tried to answer to your question: only looking to basically take the favorites button and modify the function. Both files contain functions related to “favorite”.

Though it would be more clear to all of us if you explain precisely what you’re trying to achive ? Instead of trying to explain (awkwardly) what you imagine may work, give details about what you try to do and code you used to do that.

You say you create a function you want to add to favorite button. But this button should not favorite something, but either mimic is_span, but without using is_span !!!

Sounds like if you asked for how to make beer, but without water to get a milk flavour.

Please, make explicit questions !

Providing Support at the BuddyPress Forums

No need to be rude. I’m trying to help you by asking questions, that’s all.

As you use a third party plugin, i suggest you to deactivate it or even, to remove it completely and to test WP+BP only. Don’t know the plugin you mention, but one thing is sure, something is going wrong. On a standart install, handling pending members is generally not a problem.

WP was updated 48 hours ago to 4.3 and is working flawless with BP2.3.2.1. (i have 6 BP site running on different configuration, without issues). If your issue appeared after this update, it is possible that a plugin is now no more able to work correctly with this new release.

FYI, BRO is compatible up to: 4.2.4 and was last updated: 2015-7-21. Pretty recent, but who knows where the error comes from ? Have you asked for that issue on the plugin support ? No…

If you thing it is an issue with BuddyPress, report the bug, describe the way to reproduce by opening a ticket on BuddyPress Trac, the only place where you can expect a fix. If BP devs agree with the issue.

More about BP bugs on Codex.

Please use the code button when you publish code !

First, you can’t use a function name twice. (setup_globals)
Second, it’s more easier to do after reading the correct documentation:

bp_notifications_add_notification

And to find some answers once you have this information:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23148948/add-a-custom-notification-in-buddypress

The dev discussion around the new notification system:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5148

And the appropriate filter bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user which let non BP component hook into notification:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7578

also the following link MAY be of some help

Please follow the discussion into the chat – just at the time i was very slow on the uptake!

@andy277 your questions are so confusing.
I don’t think any one can understand what exactly you want to achieve.please be clear on the topic.

Read here if it helps.
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/82239/make-display-name-unique

Hi @david-ar,

consider first https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

then read here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

and finally some snippet, http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/82239/make-display-name-unique

As alternative, it exist a wp plugin called Credible Names

Then you’ll want to 😉 Please read the codex guides we wrote them to help explain these sorts of requirements.

Have a read and pop back if further questions arise after reading the guides.

It’d be a lot easier to answer your questions if you were explicit about the functions you’re using, for example: bp_group_list_admins()

Since it’s called in a template, overload the template and make a call to your own version of that function that sets ‘type’ to whatever you want.

@whiskyharry – you are going to have to direct these questions to the premium theme author – people at bp dot org will not help you with this issue – (99.99 % sure on this)

@natmba1 – you do not need a wordpress dot COM account to run buddypress – and I am not sure that you can run BP there – not the last time I checked.

What I suggest is getting your own web hosting account – for 10 or 20$ per month you can run your own (shared) hosting – and put wordpress and buddypress and any other plugins you like into it.

Some places like dreamhost.com (and similar hosting companies) – make it pretty simple to setup a wordpress hosting account and then you can add plugins and themes through the backend admin dashboard.

You will likely end up with an account at wordpress dot ORG – to ask questions about plugins and stuff – but the dot ORG is the free open community and the dot COM is more the commercial thing kind of like wix.. which I am sure you have seen places like that are very limited – running your own system has many more options – but with that comes a bit more learning and responsibility 😉

@d_enajetic

From my limited information / understanding (as user not a dev)
“peeps that create BP” – abandoned the project long ago.

The forums here and the bp site are mostly ignored and have many problems.

There is no funding for BP anymore – and has not been for a long time.

With that being said – I was amazed to see some really awesome peeps doing a lot of work and smart discussions about so many code issues when recently visiting the bp trac system – so there is a lot going on behind the scenes. All those guys deserve a big bonus, but I am not sure if anyone is getting paid from Auttomattic for working on bp anymore.

There are several people who are monetizing a bit with paid plugins and “bp jobs”, I understand the need to get paid, and I get that there are only so many (maybe a dozen?) – Bp dev people, so providing free support in the forums here is not top of the priority list – and really many of the forums questions are not so much tech issues, but “how to” and “can I..” – which would be more easily answered by a quick bing search..

Anyhow I wish I knew more about how the activity thing chose what to pull in, and how to mod it- there are some neat newish things that BP has added to help filter the activity thing, once in a while someone will chime in with how to do it – but I have not seen any real documentation on it – another job that should be filled, yet will likely not be the top of the unpaid priority list anytime soon.

I wish wordpress would pull BP from showing up as one of the top plugins in the wp-repo and the wp dashboard- I think it is getting too many people to install it or check it out that have not business jumping into this rabbit hole, or asking about it! – lol

Let me know if any of that works our for ya, or if you find the magic “this is what bp pulls” – I am working on a plugin that converts gifs to html5 video for one of my sites, and as to where I don’t mind if those are pulled into the activity – it would be a mess if they all auto-played – so may need to do some work arounds to keep something else there in their place and a “click to see post” kind of thing like were originally talking about.

Is there a way to connect my lessons to BuddyPRess?

Probably, but there are too variables in your questions:
– what does ‘connect’ my lessons mean?
– what is a gamification plugin?
– how are you dripping?

btw – Those questions are rhetorical.

Unless somebody here has the same theme / plugin setup as you ( doubtful ), your chances of getting answers are slim to none.

Unless you are a developer, you’ll probably need to hire one to create the experience you desire.
And it sounds like a fairly large job.
You can post job listings here.

This article helped me solve a similar issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19976038/buddypress-registration-page-is-not-working

Try asking specific questions relating to exactly what you’re trying to do.

@baldarab –

I see how you are using groups – so it does appear that links to them are easily discoverable from your public facing pages.

If you do a view source and look at your code for each of your groups, you will notice that the page title is exactly the same for all of your groups ( <title>Activities – Freaky Rivet</title> ) – and there is no meta name description =

Two major issues for the big G.

Which version of buddypress are you using?

This problem concerns me so much that I have kept one of my sites with an older version of buddypress (2.2.3.1 ) with the cobbled custom code I was able to get from wpmudev ( http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/bp-meta-tite-description-for-groups-and-members-pages#post-806736 ) – the cobbled code may work the newer version of bp – but things are quite confusing with how wp has changed up some of the title thing, and bp has it’s way of things and there are possible conflicts with priority or something..

The discussion on this trac ticket( https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107 ) says things have been “fixed” – I do appreciate the devs working on it a bit – but I have a feeling the fix is more of a “make it work in a semi-okay way with a couple of setups” – not much as far as giving users real control over the titles and descriptions.

I am guessing people will point to theme designers to hook this up, and they will point to “we use wordpress’s suggested way of title-ing (wp the title or whatever) – and so it’s wp/bp issue, and descriptions should be handled my an seo plugin – but given that bp’s pages are pseudo pages without any taxonomy registered, it appears that yoast and others have so desire to work with it.

This is my current understanding, and may be not 100% accurate – what I gather after posting many questions and issues relating to this in various places.

I’d pay someone to code a plugin that gives options for bp meta stuff like the suggestion I posted before, and give it to the community. If I could understand all the bp/wp code and php I’d gladly make it. It seems the BP coders are spread a bit thin, so I have no good options for fixing this issue at the moment.
