BuddyPress.org

I have never used kendo, so i can’t help you about how it works, or not, with BuddyPress or with your theme.

But you can deregister a script or add more scripts into the theme…

Take a look at the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article. That should answer any questions you have.

Hi @nmschaller,

bbPress is a separate plugin and BuddyPress doesn’t manage bbPress. For questions about forum settings, you can use the bbPress support.

When you use BP groups component, you can add a forum to each of them. In this case only, you have to install bbPress. Of course you can also use bbPress as standalone on a BP install, or use bbPress with WordPress, without BP.

BP doesn’t use “pages” but templates, and the only pages created during installation are in for internal purpose. The “member” page is used to show the member directory, but also profiles or members activities. This dynamic content is displayed on different templates, depending the context, and using WP’s page system to fire all that via a same page slug (aka internal path).

your-site/members/some/thing/ where /some/thing/ is using his own template part displayed on “members page”.

So far i understand you use bbPress and now you want a members directory, and eventually some additionnal fields on user’s profiles. And most of this should be private or “members only”, right ?

The main problem is that you want some custom behave that need some knowledge (you seem to have), but you cannot edit functions.php Unfortunately, this is the place where to add customisation. And what to tell about bp-custom, which is another crucial cusmisation file.

You want to drive and have no steering wheel ! Annoying… 😉

The question is Do you need BuddyPress or can you use another solution ? 🙂

Depends your project, really. Members directory or extended profiles can be done with separate plugins.

Or digg into the Codex if you decide to use BuddyPress.

It’s probably worth giving it a shot and then just open a new topic for any specific coding questions you have.

Hi @pilha-

That’s totally weird behavior. It seems like the table in your database has lost its mind. 🙂

Can you check the structure of the table wp_bp_groups? What I want to know is:

• Is id set as the primary key?
• Is id set to auto-increment?

Since you’ve already emptied records from the database, I suspect you’re familiar with some software for MySQL management like phpMyAdmin. Can you check the questions above?

hi @aventurine_geode,

BuddyPress use templates and CSS which are all stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

To modify them, you have to create first a child-theme and copy into it any of the files you want to modify, by respecting /path/file structure of the original /buddypress/ folder.

In brief, wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/file

Most of your questions are related to CSS. You make these changes in /child-theme/style.css
To alter the searchbar, but depending of what you exactly want to do, see bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/index.php (similar path for members) or creating a custom function if more in-depth modification. In that case you put this function into bp-custom.php (wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php) or into child-theme’s functions.php

More details can bee found on Codex

BuddyPress Theme Development

Hi @mecceo

Yes. You have 3 options:

• Search for a plugin on the Plugin Directory
• Write some code yourself. Feel free to ask any “how to” questions on here
• hire a developer

Does this help?

Firstly please don’t type subject lines in all caps, it’s considered rude and to be shouting, it will not get you any of a faster response only remarks like I’m making 😉

Secondly why link us to your site asking questions about registration when all of your site links re-direct to an off site frame 404 not found page?

Registration in BP is a simple process with few fields to complete uploading files not one of them, so have you extended your registration process with custom functionality, if so explain that in detail.

When setting up a new WP/BP site one should check the basics work such as registration before taking the site any further in development terms, if not sure whether your theme could be a factor in issues you should test that the basics work using a standard WP bundled theme i.e twenty fifteen.

So you need to confirm some simple test, and if issue persists detail your registration process steps and any customizations you have in place if people are to be able to help at all.

Why do you need the $bp global?

Use the function meant for setting profile field data, and then you don’t need the $wpdb global either.

bbPress related questions can be asked on bbPress support forum.

Please, read here:

How to add "View Who's Online" and "View Statistics"?

‘scam’ is a rather rude word.

I suggest that you go and read the Codex, all sections to do with features and getting started then you will be able to ask better informed questions.

And yes ‘it’ does work!

Please use the codex first for basic questions around WordPress or BuddyPress.

BuddyPress comes with a login widget you can use on every existing theme who accept widgets.

BuddyPress Widgets

To style a button, you use CSS. This is common to any modern CMS software.

You should of searched the forum for many answers to this already posted.

There are a lot of options and solutions with this… for me, I use the plugin “buddypress humanity” on one of my sites, and a different / similar plugin “good question” on another site.

Change the default questions and answers… this stops most of the auto-bot spammers.. a few manual people may get through, but it cut does spam signups on my site by 99%.

One of my sites I disable “group creation” for all users, as that seems to be a target for many of them.

I also use another plugin with my bp+wp / multi-site … which sets “blog defaults” so that any user who creates a new blog has settings automatically enabled that “block this site from search engine indexing” – if someone signs up and creates a site and adds original content, I will go in an manually change that setting.. most people who “create a site (blog on multi-site) – don’t use them, or are spammers – so I don’t need them sucking away page rank juice or clogging up the activity stream with BS.

random thoughts from another BP user…

asked about this with some help over a year ago ( https://buddypress.org/support/topic/remove-all-gravatar-calls/ )

short term fixes some though: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/new-buddypress-plugin-bp-local-avatars/

Which I have installed but not activated yet.

Also mentioned this a while back in a survey thread I think it was ( buddypress. org/support/topic/questions-for-the-2015-buddypress-survey/#post-229073

and in buddypress .org/ support/topic/programmatically-assigning-avatars-to-groups/#post-182810

Glad to see there was some ticket discussion about this issue! And others who are looking at this being a real problem!

Sorry but your pasted code is wrong.
See source.
Read also the comments before you copy/paste.

@henrywright can you help out please ?
