BuddyPress.org

This is the old thread but the same question, I didn’t want to spam here that’s why I will ask the same question here again, I would like to dynamically populate buddypress data into custom post types gravity forms when the user is logged in, I am succesfully populating wordpress user meta, but I don’t know the code in functions.php for buddypress profile fields to make them work, I have already asked on Gravity Help forum, but there are plenty of questions like that and the same as mine question they have never been answered, I hope that maybe somebody from this forum already had to resolve that problem in the past.

I think if you are using this plugin that the appropriate place to ask these further questions is on their support.

@shameermohamed50 the Codex is your friend, do have a read of some of the guides there as they will answer a certain amount of your questions in setting up BP and bbP

@mercime – I have been reading the codex for BuddyPress, Event Manager and WordPress core. It’s just hard to keep it all straight. My only point above was that it literally would take one extra sentence when answering questions to say something like, “put it in bp-custom.php (which is a file you’ll have to create…here’s the codex link”. That’s all. OTherwise, the approach above totally worked for me too! It disabled the completely non-fuctioning registration page (I’m using a BP friendly theme, but not the default) and now I let S2 Member handle the user registration/login process. I don’t how I could ever use BP as a stand alone so there are many things in it that are clearly buggy that consistently get blamed on using any other plugin or theme. My real wish is that the wonderful devs who made BP happen make a non-buggy Pro version and make some money for themselves (while we get better docs/examples/support).

@oedipamaas, unfortunately there are many other critical points.I no longer use this plugin, because it’s structure is in conflict with all the world. I can’t use easy other theme than bp theme, all other additional plugins have to be bp related only, not to mention the fear I have to ask questions here. Most of the time all are concentrated to be irritated by wrong topics, or not telling you everything….
Anyway, thank you very much for the information and congratulation for finding it by your self!

Best regards,
Polly

Please post support questions for any of the plugins above at respective plugin’s forums.

Hey Guys 🙂 Sorry to dig up an old topic, but I came across it and wanted you to know that Avada does work with BBpress. If you had issues with it, please signup at our support forum and post up a new topic with your questions and we’ll take a look.

Thanks!

@number_6 this is where – like the previous thread – we really need posters to detail their setup first before asking questions.

You are slightly confusing BP with your theme, your theme provides many options and conditions as in this particular instance.

This widget is part of the Custom Community theme and found in their core includes, modifying would require you to copy it out to another safe area, rename it, make mods in order that your changes weren’t overwritten if/when you upgrade the main theme files, so a child theme is called for and your widget copy placed in a new functions.php file in your child theme.

@mcpeanut
Please don’t troll your own thread and don’t take what @hnla said as an attack towards your intelligence.
It was just a recommendation, not an attack. If your upset about him closing another thread that posed the same questions basically then don’t be. It is common for a forum with threads with duplicate content or support requests to lock duplicate posts. Sometimes duplicates happen by accident if you loose a wifi connection for instance and refresh after you reconnect because sometimes it will post the same topic twice.
For future reference try not to take things to personally as all of the volunteers do the best we can at accommodating the requests.
Have a good day!

Leofitz, WangGuard will check your user base for spammers and delete them.

See https://wordpress.org/plugins/wangguard/

The author says that “WangGuard not only protect your site from sploggers, spam users or unwanted users, WangGuard cleans your database from them. No plugin or service does this, only with WangGuard you will get this feature,” and I believe him. His English may not be too good, but the plugin is really outstanding.

There’s just one consideration for you: In order to have your database cleaned up, you will have to submit far more than 500 queries the first month. Perhaps you can arrange to pay for a month?

Here’s my suggestion to reduce database queries after that. (It worked for me.) Buddypress allows for the customization of User Profiles. Add a couple of questions that require a certain amount of intelligence to answer and make them required. That means the form will not be submitted either to WordPress or to WangGuard if the required fields are not filled out. It’s not fool-proof, but it decreased queries on my very busy site to just a few a day.

Incidentally, I added a question, “How do you plan to participate?” Among the choices offered the user are these:
“I want to increase my online presence.” and
“I want to sell my stuff.”

We don’t need anyone not bright enough to figure out that these replies do not make the user desirable. Now all I need is a script to automatically kick out users who choose these replies. 😉 (As it is, they can be manually deleted if other users report them.)

I don’t know what happens to a group when all the users are unsubscribed, so this may not be precisely what you are looking for. But WangGuard will make your site secure against almost all sploggers. (One registrant passed all tests on our site, and we had to delete manually, but that person must have registered manually too.)

Good luck!

No problem, forget my questions, @mercime ‘s suggestion to take a look at Buddydev’s plugin was right, BuddyBlog works perfect with latest versions, thanks
