You have placed the code in parent theme’s functions.php which is not correct, because in future you will have an update of the theme and when you will update these changes will be lost. So you should always paste any new code in child theme’s functions.php. In case it is not working there and you are not able to get it why? then install this https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ plugin and try adding code under snippets and see if it is working fine. Also before placing code with this plugin just remove it from your functions.php otherwise if the same code will be there on both places then it will generate a fatal error.

When I moved the code to the functions.php in the social-portfolio folder, it worked exactly as expected.

Thanks

Please paste this code in your child theme’s functions.php file or you can use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ as well

add_filter( ‘bp_login_redirect’, ‘ps_redirect_to_profile’, 11, 3 );

function ps_redirect_to_profile( $redirect_to, $redirect_url, $user ){

if( empty( $redirect_to) )
$redirect_to = admin_url();

//if the user is not site admin,redirect to his/her profile

if( isset( $user->ID) && ! is_super_admin( $user->ID ) )
return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID );
else
return $redirect_to;

}

It will redirect site admins to dashboard and other users to their profile.

Thanks

I am just getting started on my site. I have not purchased a theme or plugins yet as I am trying to find out what modification I can do on my own or what I cannot / how long it might take. I have looked at some themes for purchase for BuddyPress and I have looked at Peepso but I feel it is impossible to tell in either situation if the demos people are showing are all done with settings to modify the look of pages or if it the display changes are being done by writing code. BuddyBoss premium theme demos look nice and so does Peepso but I have not figured out if the look they are both showing is just alot of setting options or just them writing code.

I’m having perhaps a related issue with messages. When I switch to the old theme the messages work fine. Here is my original post:

_______________________
Greetings!

I just installed BP version 3.1.0 with WooCommerce StoreFront theme on WP 4.9.8 hosted on WPEngine.

When I go to a users profile and click private message, it takes me to the messages tab, but the compose fields do not show. The URL appears to have the proper query string with the users name. Example: compose?r=julesyoga

Could caching be preventing the page from loading perhaps?

Do you know any reason why the page isn’t loading in compose mode and the name isn’t being populated.

site: https://access.julesmitchell.com/
wp version: 4.9.8

Thanks so much!

OMG, you are right last_activity is missing! See https://www.dropbox.com/s/80qs1ywzk8xrsdu/Screenshot%202018-08-09%2017.54.22.png?dl=0

Only I have the last_activity meta_key (user_id 1 and 2).

user_id 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 also have it but from 2016 (!) – I suspect this comes from the dummy data import that I did for the theme.

The others are active on the site, but have no last_activity recorded. Would somebody point me to the next step on how to fix that?

Thanks!

@damon18 to be honest, I’m actually overriding the nouveau theme from inside my child theme, like you’d like to do. I just sort of simplified the solution initially shared on this post for everyone since not everyone edits their themes or creates custom child themes for their projects.

So yes you’ve got the right idea but the correct file location would be

/wp-content/themes/my-theme/buddypress/groups/single/cover-image-header.php

so it’s without the /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/ section.

Hope that helps 🙂

Make sure all your members have a ‘last_activity’ timestamp.

New users not showing on member page until they sign in

If the issues persist, you need to do some basic debugging.
Start by using a WP theme like 2017 and use the BP > Options > Template Pack > BuddyPress Legacy templates. If that clears up the issues, then you need to get a solution from BuddyBoss.

If the issues persist, deactivate any other plugins.
If the issues persist, there is a serious and unknown problem.
Otherwise, activate the other plugins one at a time until you see an issue.

@ipokkel I made the change directly in the Buddypress file

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/groups/single/cover-image-header.php

I wasn’t sure if the override system worked on this kind of thing, could I move that file (and any others that need modification) under my child theme like

/wp-content/themes/my-theme/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/groups/single/cover-image-header.php

I know that sort of over-ride works for theme files like page.php and single.php but does it work for everything?

I fixed this by creating a new file named buddypress.php to place in my theme (child theme) on the same level as the page.php, single.php, style.css etc.

Buddypress then uses that buddypress.php page for all of it’s content.

The buddypress.php file is simply a copy of page.php with the call for sidebar commented out.
<?php /* get_sidebar(); */ ?>

I then needed to adjust main content div to be 100%, or in my case simple remove the ID tag that called the css to limit the width of the “left content” to 73%.

Hope that helps.

Paste in your theme functions.php or in bp-custom.php.
Load the site in a browser
Remove from your theme functions.php or bp-custom.php.

I’m having the same issues. I’ve checked the headers in the failed messages and they indeed include double subject line entries. Did you find any offending plugins?

Recently I started using BP Better Messages, going to see if that’s causing the issue.

Also I’m using Rehub theme, if you’re using that, maybe we can find some similarities and rule things out.

Check areas where your developer has either written a plugin or modified your BuddyPress templates in your theme (should be under /wp-content/YOUR-THEME/buddypress/ maybe.

For me, it displays the hand icon and I’m able to submit the form after pressing on it. I’m testing with a WordPress default theme.

Try switching your theme temporarily to see if you can duplicate your problem.

Sounds like you’re using a plugin because when you hit the “Public Message” button, it should take you to the Site-wide Activity page with the @-username pre-populated. The submit button is also named “Post Update” and not “Send”.

Could also be something that your theme implemented. If so, try changing your theme to a WordPress default theme to see if the behavior is how I described.
