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.

‘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!

Im using field type – multi select box for my registration questions.
So far example – Gender Male/Female. On desktop I see Gender box and those two choices Male and Female, on mobile, to save space I guess, I see the Gender box but there are no choices in the box, instead of male and female I see “0 selected” and that is also true for everything else, location – I have about 30 cities which on desktop i can scroll down for in the box, but on mobile again its only one line – “0 selected” and then when you click on that a list with all choices shows up, Which is fine, but that particular text “0 selected” gives an impression of an error, I want to change it to just “Select”

Hi, I recently started my first WordPress site, on a new WP 4.2.2 install, and with BP 2.2.3.1 plugin installed, but I can’t find anything inside the plugin about the member type feature!?! I have read up on it, but nothing has let me know exactly what to do to get it on my dashboard, or to enable it in any way… Can someone please hold my hand on this? If I need to copy and paste code from here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/ I have no idea of where to do it? I’m ready to start populating profiles, but need the member type feature, and separate member type questions/fields in order for the site to function properly. Please help. My site is GigTrain.com – Thanks.

Topic: Different questions

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

nomiki

Hi,
I am making a review site and I have BuddyPress and BBpress installed. I have a few questions about using BuddyPress for a review site:

1) Is it possible to make a blog with different articles where some of the best articles, like “plus” or “gold” articles, only members of the site can read? (A way for me to give people something in return for registering as members)

2) How can I make members make reviews without getting access to the admin panel of my WordPress site? It wouldn’t be much fun for me if members can edit or see others posts. I want members to get a very narrow access to only “make a new review” and then they can not edit the review afterwards, as the admin (me) has to approve.

3) Where do I upload language files (I have Danish .mo and .po files)?

4) How do I change the text in the automatic emails send to the members? (is it in the language files as well?)

5) Is it possible to upgrade members, let’s say those who have been making the most reviews, so they achieve either points or a higher level?

Thanks in advance!!

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

https://codex.wordpress.org/Toolbar
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.

in group forum Installing BuddyPress

benrab

Just installed buddypress and testing it out. I wanted to build in registration/login into my theme but I see the buddypress functions are all in a separate toolbar. That may or may not work. Some questions:

1. Can I hide the wordpress icon and the wordpress links (including dashboard access) from the left hand side of the admin bar? This will cause brand confusion and functionality confusion as there is more than 1 place to view/edit profile. I don’t want anyone to see/access any of the native wordpress pages

2. can I create my own register/login buttons and links to place within my theme and send the user to registration/login in that way?

Thanks so much!

Topic: Allow wordpress comments (comment form) on groups

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Hi! Is there a way to allow comments on a group home page? I added the comments_template() to it, but that doesn’t seem any use as groups don’t seem to have support for comments.

I don’t want to use the activity stream for this, and comments would be perfect for what I need (people asking questions to a group and the questions remaining public before deciding to join).

Groups have an ID so I hope it is possible. I would really appreciate any help.

In reply to: How to stop Spam Users from registering

djsteveb

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…

If I get sufficient knowledge to contribute I will. Right now in these early days of using it i am nowhere near qualified! (Simultaneously learning/hacking away at php :s).

Hello there,
I am totally new to BuddyPress, I have done some research but still can’t find all of my answers. So here I go:

1. Is it possible to have the BuddyPress “Home” once logged in look like the one of Facebook or Twitter? Well, so that it shows activities based on the people you follow or are friends with.
2. Is it possible to follow or send a friend request to a Member?
3. Is there a Hashtag System in BuddyPress?
4. Can you tweet or update your Status, if yes can you also add Images or Videos?
5. Can a regular User create a Group?

If you know the answer is yes, can you please tell me how? If you know that any answer is No, do you know any third party Solutions?

Thank you very much.

I have some questions, many of which have probably been answered; and if that is the case, I apologize. I’ve also read the documentation related to these topics, but they don’t make any sense (to me). I have very little understanding of how WordPress plugins work, but here’s what I ultimately want to accomplish…

-Have 5 different types of users, each of which can do certain things on the site and each have a slightly different user experience. This would need to be selected at the time of registration.
–Specifically, the user types on my site would be: Patient, Family, Friend, Caregiver, Medical Professional. Patients can access certain areas of the site, while Medical Professionals can access others, etc.
—Medical Professional user account types would need to go under further review after registration.
-The ability for members to easily instant-message each other, similarly to Facebook.

Any help or guidance on where to find the information I need to do this would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

P.S. The site URL will require you to log in; if you need to actually view my site, let me know and I will turn the “lock” off.

In reply to: Performance of css Stylesheets

mcpeanut
Participant

@rosyteddy a couple of good reads there man, i like to read through the comment sections on articles like the ones above because there is some good points raised, there are alot of varied opinions as how to effectively pull this off dependent on the complexity of your site, which i would consider mine as quite complex, the reason for the questions and advice is because of how complex i consider the website to be, i have alot of stylesheets for various different things here there and everywhere loading when not needed etc, in the past i have used plugins to successfully combine and serve them as one cached minified version etc.. but i was just wanting to go more in depth with it and configure it all myself to run at an optimum level.

I am going to be messing around with this over the next few days and will get back to you on what i feel was the best way to do it, any more advice off anyone else who has tackled doing this manually for wordpress/buddypress give us a shout.

Topic: Performance of css Stylesheets

in forum Miscellaneous

mcpeanut

Ok i have been tweaking my js scripts via combining them and serving them as 2-3 cached files for performance instead of having them all load separate scripts via a few plugins.

QUESTIONs: I know i can do the same with the css but im wandering if there would be any benefit doing it this way or actually combining the css manually into 1 large css file using my style.css where all my custom css is also located by using wp_deregister_style to stop the original stylesheets from loading? Would this be beneficial rather than using a plugin to minify and combine them? Is 1 big minified cached version loading on every page better than loading independent stylesheets as an when needed? what are your takes on this before i start to manually do this?

Topic: Extraordinary amount of spammers signing up

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,

I’ve been developing wordpress powered sites for years, sometimes I build them locally and other times I build them live (depending on what I’m doing).

I’m currently building my first BuddyPress powered site (live) and I have noticed a serious amount of spam accounts signing up every time that I leave “anybody can register” open.

I’ve never seen this before with any other wordpress site that I’ve built online.

I never use Akismet or any other kind of anti-spam filter in WP as I’ve never thought the spam account problem was serious enough to warrant it, but I’m 100% going to need one with this BP powered site because it’s getting out of control before anybody even knows the site is out there. (I’ve told WP not to index the site on search engines while I’m building it).

So a couple of questions….

1) Are you guys getting a large amount of fake spam accounts on your sites as well?

2) If you are using a plug-in to prevent spam, which one are you using and does it work ok?

3) Does anybody know what it is about a Buddypress install that is encouraging all of the spam bots through the door?

The only reason why I started this topic was because I spoke to a WordPress representative and as I’ve done here, after explaining the issues to the rep, they said for me to get in contact with the creators of the plugin that allows me to do all of these news feed configurations so I assumed it was through here, BuddyPress. And I already was reading through the Codex, videos tutorials, support forums and speaking to numerous amounts of representatives and didn’t get anywhere. But okay, I will try reaching out to the creator of the Vipress theme and hopefully get my questions answered. Thank you.

Hey guys,

Thanks for your replies.

Firstly, I am going to eat some humble pie. I didn’t realise that buddypress was entirely user driven and supported so apologies for jumping the gun there.

I promise that I will make it my mission to share anything I learn while using buddypress and offer help to others in the spirit of the project. It could certainly do with some basic “start up” guides, there are a few simple things that virtually everybody using this for the first time is going to want to do and they could be laid out in simple terms with easy to follow “how to” guides and I am more than happy to post a few of these once I am confident that I know what I’m doing is correct.

Thanks for the explanation and link Dan, that is most helpful.

I’m slowly starting to understand how everything ties together, and I’m sure I’ll have a million other questions along the way, but I’m also pretty confident that I’ll crack it and once I do I will be more than happy to contribute to the BP family wherever possible 😉
