If you don’t need to consider portability, then you can hardcode the prefix.

Hi,

Please check this: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/6664/how-to-auto-accept-a-friend-request-in-buddypress-based-on-user-meta

Please remove the condition of is_user_expert and check after that. You should try this on the dev/staging version of your site and if it works for you then you can use it on your live site.

For members addition in a group automatically, please check this one https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-new-members-to-groups-automatically/

Hope it will help you.

Completely agree with your post. It’s 2020 now, and there should be the functionality to at least make the display name optional. In searching the annals for answers, I see questions going back to 2013 asking for this because users were getting confused with usernames / display names. It would be great to have something like Reddit, where just a username / email is required. Despite this frustration, massive thanks to those working on BuddyPress.

@wayneg03

yeah… its tough going here – in these parts of the internet..

To try to answer some of your questions..

— for testing purpose.. try using the twentytwenty theme..
— #2 YOURDOMAIN_NAME/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bp-components
**make sure “USER-GROUPS” is selected..
then go to YOURDOMAIN__NAME/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-groups
or try going to YOURDOMAIN_NAME/groups/create/step/group-details/

— #3 Try going to YOURDOMAIN_NAME/wp-admin/nav-menus.php

Applying a patch requires the use of version control.
You can apply a patch manually by editing each file in the patch, but I don’t recommend it.
The best approach is to wait until the patch is rolled into the next release.
If you have further questions, you can add them to the ticket.

Sorry I misinterpreted the initial question, so you have 2 questions
1. Upon logging in you’d like to redirect the user to his profile activity page.
2. How to disable the wp-login for non-admins or something like that so that regular users never see wp’s login screen.

2. https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/62889/disable-or-redirect-wp-login-php would this be a good start to a solution

You need to adjust the proper template.
But don’t edit the templates in the plugin or your changes will be wiped out when you update BP.
Instead, overload the template:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Re RED: you didn’t say which template pack you are using. I will assume it is Nouveau.
Over load this template:
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-nouveau\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php
Then open the overload template and find this code near the top:

<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() ) : ?>
	<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></h2>
<?php endif; ?>

And simply remove the conditional, so it will look like this:

<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></h2>

Your other questions are more complex, but will require the same approach:

– identify the template(s) you need to change
– overload them
– make your changes
