These are the forums for just the BuddyPress plugin.
Please direct your questions about LearnPress – BuddyPress Integration to the creators of that plugin.
i was able to get your first example to work
function add_banner() {
echo ‘this will be a banner’;
}
add_action( ‘bp_before_activity_loop’, ‘add_banner’ );
when i replaced activity_loop for directory_activity it didnt seem to do anything.
sorry for the newbie questions & thank you for your help so far
If you are not an experienced developer, you may be better off hiring such a person.
Until you write some code and ask specific questions about it, here are some general pointers…
Take a look at how the activities are restricted on a group activity page.
There are some codex pages that provide info:
Add custom filters to loops and enjoy them within your plugin
Activity dropdown filters in templates
The All-in-One Event Calendar plugin only shows events created in that plugin.
Events created in other plugins are not supported.
btw – this is not the proper place to ask questions about 3rd party plugins.
Instead, you should use the support pages for those plugins.
Therefore, this thread is closed.
Please ask questions about bbPress on their support forums.
It’s not easy to figure out what you are doing – or more importantly why.
I suggest you not use pre_get_posts.
Instead write your own WP_Query on your custom page.
This thread is now closed due to being off-topic for these forums.
I do not know anything about coding …
You can use these forums to try and hire somebody to help you.
Or for specific questions about your code – but questions about other plugins are out of scope.
I suggest you talk to the creators of formidable forms about your issue.
You can use $groups = groups_get_user_groups($user_id); to get all the groups that a user belongs to.
This is a BuddyPress forum.
Questions specific to WordPress should be asked on the WP support forums.
OK, no replies as of yet but some progress to report:
I abandoned the idea of making minor style customizations in my WS child theme’s style.css because of the inconsistent results I was getting (see my previous post). Instead, after more hours scouring of the internet, I found a different approach which is to setup folders under my child theme folders like so:
…/wp-content/themes/mytheme/buddypress/css
I then created a new file named buddypress.css in the new /css folder, put in a couple of css entries and voila! – it didn’t work. Determined to get this working, I then spent a few more hours of scoouring and through trial and error and finally came up with the following which does work for me:
1) setup the above mentioned folder structure under the child WP theme
2) copy buddypress.css from the core buddy press css folder under the chosen template (e.g. nouveau) to the new css folder
3) rename the new buddypress.css to “buddypress.min.css” (even though it is not “minified”)
4) changes made to the new buddypress.min.css now take effect (hoorah!)
Although this approach seems to work, it does raise several questions:
A) since the custom version of the css file is not “minified”, does this not defeat the purpose of minifying css files in the first place (i.e. presumably performance improvements)?
B) I would have hoped that the custom css file would only need to contain deviations from the theme’s css – however this does not seem to be the case. It appears that the entire file needs to be copied. The concern here is that when buddypress is upgraded, there may be css changes in the upgrade that are now “masked” by the custom css file which contains the older version of the styling (in cases where no modifications were made) – this seems a bit “messy” to me
C) I guess my main question really is whether the above approach which I finally settled on is valid and is the best available approach.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I am seeking clarity on this so that I end up with a good long term solution.

Hello. I’ve notice something else with buddypress. When someone need to Login, he is redirected to default wordpress login? Buddypress doesn’t have it’s own Login tab, like the register? And how can you remove Email approve when someone register. And every user can acces Wp-admin, isn’t there function to restrict normal users from opening that page? Any restrict function on buddypress, like only registered users to be able to open the site or pages.
It was because I was updating my display name via wp_update_user that the profile page wasn’t showing.
So i guess the real questions is, why is it that when I update the display_name via wp_update_user, the profile url isnt updated?
That answers my questions well! I was expecting as much but wanted to make sure I wasn’t reinventing the wheel. I’ve worked with WP for a long time now and this is a passion project so hopefully I can devote some time to educating myself and getting it done. Thank you!
Hi,
I’m looking for a way to disable the global activity stream but keep the normal ones in the profiles for each user enabled.
So just to be clear i mean with disable, zero possible (server) queries and zero data fetching.
The BP forum search wasn’t really helpful since the questions were mostly about how to hide the tab links to the global activity stream and they were also very dated.
So is there such a way to get it maybe done via functions.php? Since i really don’t want to tinker around in the BP source files.
Thanks a bunch in advance
BuddyPress uses bbpress.org for all forums.
Please use their support, bbpress.org/forums, for questions specific to forums.
WP and BP can do a lot of what you need.
You’ll also need something like LearnDash for lessons.
And wooCommerce for ecommerce.
afaik, there are free versions of those plugins.
So you can set up a test site and try them all out together.
Then you should have a better idea of whether you need the premium versions, or some other plugins.
At some point you will need to hire an experienced WP / BP developer to close any functionality gaps and perhaps write some custom code.
If you have wooCommerce or LearnDash questions, please ask them on their support sites.
It seems that you have to have a paid account to ask them questions.
You said the code you posted was not working.
Now you say it is working?
But you want some different?
Please make clear statements and ask clear questions.
According to this link, it seems like this is part of WordPress core. Surely there must be some way to enable user management by admin without making them a super admin.
Hi,
Please check this link: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/90311/turn-off-admin-emails-for-new-user-registrations
You can paste the code in your child theme’s functions.php or can use code snippets plugin.
Thanks
Hi,
BuddyPress works on top of WordPress to add community/social features. The integration is almost seamless.
Now to answer your questions:-
1. will my members have to login a second time to use BuddyPress?
Is the login required by WordPress account? if yes, They will not need to login again.
2. Will that they then have two accounts to deal with?
No, It is only one account.
Give it a try, BuddyPress should be simple enough to use.
Best Regards

Hello,
I have a question. I’m working on a website of medical consultations and would like to make those consultations (answered questions) paid.
So, I want that the person asks a question, describes all details of his problem, proceeds to payment, and submits the question.
Also, I gonna have different services, so depending on the service, they should pay a different amount.
How would it be possible?
Thanks in advance,
Roman
Hi,
It’s because that is not a normal text area. it’s TinyMCE editor and we have to do something else there https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/166077/keyup-events-in-tinymce-editor-not-working
Thanks
I have 2 questions regarding BuddyPress profile fields.
1. is it possible to remove the required name field? I want to remove this and add First and Last name as 2 separate fields instead.
2. I have a field set as Phone Number type but I am able to put anything into the field. It does not validate as a phone number. How do change this so users can only put #’s in this format: (area) xxx-xxxx?
In particular,I’d like to distinguish between organizations and individuals.
The organizations apply to build communities, and organizations can post blogs in established communities to answer questions, free and paid features.
The data discussed by members can be saved and can be provided to scientific institutions for analysis.
Hi,
BuddyPress have member type features that you can use to distinguish between members. Please check this plugin https://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-member-types-pro/ and then can restrict group creation and blogs by member type organization.
Also use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/ for forum creation where members can come and reply on topics.
The topics and replies and activity post in buddypress are stored in the database.
Please check all of them and then can choose a BuddyPress based theme https://colorlib.com/wp/best-buddypress-wordpress-themes/ and it will have most of things inbuilt.
Thanks
I’ve found a very interesting website http://healthunlocked.com
I want to know if I can use BUDDYPRESS to build a community with the same features like this site.

Some suggestions about these?
