Topic: Private Messaging Questions
Hi, I’m setting up a buddypress site, and I need to figure out if I can do the following items with private messaging:
– Send a message to all of my users
– Send a message to users in a single buddypress group
– Have a read receipt to know which users read the message
– Send an email to a user to let them know they have a new private messageI’m having a hard time finding information about these questions.
Thanks!!
Hey guys, I just recently installed buddypress and I think it will be amazing for my community. I have set the activity page as the “front page” of my site and now I have two questions:
1. How do I disable the title of the activity feed so it does not say “site-wide activity” or anything at all for that matter?
2.How can I enable the post editor so I can add static content just above the activity feed? Right now any content that I add via the post editor appears to be overridden by the template, which is to be expected.
I understand enough about WordPress to know that both of these issues are resolved through templates, but I would sincerely appreciate a response tailored for a wordpress beginner as I am new to php edits. I do have a child theme already created but don’t know where to go from there.
Cheers
Currently running BP 2.6.1.1 WP 4.53 using twenty twelve child theme. I have incorporated many plugins to get the features desired for my private social network. The more I late about BP and how flexible it really it the more I have been working to apply the best practices regarding plugin use to the development of the site. Leading me to the questions -what features of BP are best extended or custoomized using plugins and what features are best extended customized using code snippets in the available tools for customization bp-custom and functions files?
Thanks in advance to the incredible people who share their expertise and experiments here for to the benefit of the rest of us. Something I hope to do and my skills in this area develops.
Hello WP community,
Hoping someone can help me out. I have 2 questions
1) Buddypress installed and when a comment is made on a post, I would like it updated to the top of the feed on activity update page regardless of how old the post is.
Right now when a comment is made on an old post, it updates in activity but not at the top of the feed but on the date in which the post was created.
How can I change this for both post comments and bbpress.
2) Is it possible for users to add image and video on activity update in buddypress. if so how can I do this.
I have the latest WP and BuddyPress installed.
Thank you in advance!

Hi!
I am trying to figure out a way to only show status updates on the activity stream.
I have seen code on here at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/, but I just don’t know where to put it in terms of the file and what line to put it in.
And it would be in the child theme as well, right?
Sorry for the 2 questions,
just a newbie with wordpress to be honest.Appreciate the help!
WordPress Version: 4.5.3
BuddyPress Version: 2.6.0
Link to Site: BuildCup.comHi,
1) I’ve just installed buddypress but there is no button to change the avatar and I’m not sure why. I have all the settings checked correctly.
2) I would also like the buddypress set up in such a way that only the administrators/authors of the main site can view and receive messages from members. Basically I’m looking for buddypress to enable members to submit technical questions/issues to administrators/authors to respond. Is this achievable. Members should not be able to view other members questions/comments.
3) When a member submits a message can there be an email notification to the administrator/author?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, BuddyPress Community!
I have the plugin DW Reactions installed (https://wordpress.org/plugins/dw-reactions). It doesn’t integrate with BuddyPress. Assuming BuddyPress “activities” were a custom post type, I thought integrating it myself would be no problem. Well, after some digging, I noticed that activities were stored in the database as their own type of object (am I using the term “object” correctly?) and not as custom post types. DW Reactions is written to work with post types. I imagine that’s why it doesn’t work with BuddyPress activities.
Is there a way to make activities register as a custom post type? If that’s not possible, is there a quick fix to make a plugin reference activities instead of posts?
Or, is there anyone reading this who is familiar with DW Reactions and might know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help. Here are my answers to the questions in on of the sticky posts, in case they’re needed.
1. Which version of WordPress are you running? 4.5.2
2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? directory
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? root
4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? yes, 4.5.1
5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. yes
6. Which version of BP are you running? 2.5.3
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? no
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones? yes, too many to list
9. Are you using the standard WordPress theme or customized theme? custom, InspireBook v1.2.2
10. Have you modified the core files in any way? no
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? no
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? n/a
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. n/a
14. Which company provides your hosting? GoDaddy
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? LinuxSo, a few questions of “how to” about groups, page styling, and assigning groups. I’m working on a Harry Potter/Hogwarts related project where each user would be in one of four houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff. I’d create each group and assign users to each group. That said, users can also create their own groups/clubs. So, I guess, I’d like to know if the house group can be their default group and make it to where they can’t change their default group but will still be able to access their custom groups forums and feeds per the norm.
I’d also like to know if it’s possible to have a Profile Page layout for the user’s profile, dependent upon the group they are in. So, say all of then memebers of Gryffindor will have a profile layout with different styles and colors than those in Slytherin or the other two houses.
Optionally, I’d like to create a sorting ceremony forum that’s a private forum, but not in the traditional sense. I’d like the posts to be hidden from everyone except the admins and the original creator. So if a new user is waiting to be sorted, they can go onto the board and only see their thread any anything that’s stickied. I’d also like to have a custom form for creating the topics in that specific board which will include selectable answers and will post to the thread when submitted. That said, replies would be normal.
So, there it is in a nutshell. If anyone could offer some direction and assistance that’d be great. I’ve done a ton of google searching over the past week and haven’t found anything definitive. I appreciate any and all help.
WP 4.5.2
BP 2.5.3
Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress 1.1.9
Flatsome theme by UX 2.9.2
currently working offline, testing my site, hence no linkHi!
I got 2 separate questions about using BP. I’ll be as brief as possible.
1) Is there any way to fix required logic for conditional fields in the registration form? I have the following fields in my form, all of them drop down menues to choose one option:
– State > NY / CA / FL / etc.
– City in NY (show only if State = NY) > Albany / Buffalo / NY / etc.
– City in CA (show only if State = CA) > LA / San Diego / Fresno / etc.
and so on…The “State” field is required. The “City in…” field is required as well. Of course, only one “City in…” shows after choosing the state. The problem is that ALL of the “City in…” fields are marked as required, and BP expects the user to fill in all of them, even if they’re not showing due to conditional logic.
Is there any way to fix it besides disabling the required status? Basically, people choose their location or something else. Maybe a product thing (PC / TV > laptop – desktop / lcd – led).
2) I have in my sql database tables to organize a lot of products, separated into categories and cross-related. Very neat. Is there a way to easily put that into the registration form with conditional logic? Like the state>county>city thing. Drop down menues that import options from the tables.
Thanks a lot in advance.
