BuddyPress.org

@nebuchadnezzar no need to modify anything inside BuddyPress core files, You have to modify template files inside your child theme.

Copy BuddyPress folder from your parent theme and paste them into the child theme and modify inside child theme at following path

buddypress/members/register.php or
buddypress/registration/register.php

You can check following for reference

Template Hierarchy

Hi there, I may be and probably am being a little bit thick, it’s been a long day. But I’m struggling to make sense of the advice on that page.

It says changing group_members to members in bp_legacy_theme_object_template_loader() fixed the issue for me. but the function bp_legacy_object_template_loader part that he displayed did not include group_members, so I’m confused as to what I should change where.

Good to know there’s a fix though. That will be the third today!

Unfortunately on my system I unloaded all plugins and switched to 2017 theme and this behaviour persisted. Yet on another system it works. I’m not sure how to further debug the issue as I’m unable to recreate it on a test system.

I’m using very few of the plugins you listed – Invite Anyone, CPT UI and BP Global Search.

I have the same issue and as we I can see in google, it is not a new problem. I deactivated plugins, changed the theme… I can´t fix the problem. I am using GeneratePress and I integrated buddypress with LearnDash and Gamipress. I can create the first group, but after that I am not able to create any other group. I can´t pass the fisrt step

#buddypress form#whats-new-form #aw-whats-new-submit {
    background: transparent;
}

The above is what chooses the color of the button. Just replace transparent with a hex. i.e. #000000 for black.

You can also limit it to just the activity page with the activity pages class which is .activity:

.activity #buddypress form#whats-new-form #aw-whats-new-submit {
    background: transparent;
}

I’d be careful with the .activity class, it’s a really vague class so other plugins, themes may use it.

HI @baccoeur-

The best way to troubleshoot is to deactivate as many plugins as feasible, ideally leaving only BuddyPress active and using a common theme like Twenty Seventeen, to test the behavior. Then, check to see if the problem is resolved. Reactivate plugins and re-check to see which one is causing the conflict.

It only takes a few minutes to do this test, and will help you figure out where the problem actually is.

BP adapts to any theme you use. If you’re looking to customize specific aspects, you can take advantage of the BP template hierarchy:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Does your install behave like this with the other plugins deactivated and when running the 2017 theme?

You need to take it to a baseline – rule out all external factors – does it still do that with no other plugins loaded and 2017 as the theme?

I’d override the template by copying the existing template at wp-content/plugins/buddypress/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

and adding it to my theme at: buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

Add a permissions check around the block you’re wanting to restrict access to (something like this):

<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) ): ?>
	<span class="activity" data-livestamp="<?php bp_core_iso8601_date( bp_get_user_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() ) ); ?>"><?php bp_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>

Read more about the template hierarchy here: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

@vishalspecscale it’s more theme-specific issue, try to contact your theme support. You can also check errors inside your browser console to debug possible issue.

@digitalyak instead of modifying plugin file directly, you can override these template files inside child theme at the following path and then add your changes, it will preserve your edit even after plugin updates

child-theme-folder/buddypress/members/single/messages/

I also have same issue , I am using listable theme ,but I can’t be able to change cover image and portfolio image.

@julian12 it’s more theme specific and depends on theme vendor which font and icon library they want to use.

I think the first thing to do is to rule out a plugin conflict, there’s definitely something not working, something interfering with the registration process. S you need to test this with just BuddyPress loaded and a standard theme like 2017.

I wonder why Members page is not part of the BuddyPress menu?

Good question! This is something you can change at the theme level. Nearly all areas of BuddyPress can be customised. If you need help feel free to post questions and open new topics.

@normancates that screenshot it not BuddyPress theme specific, it’s regular WordPress Profile screenshot.
Bp-nouveau will be part of BuddyPress template files after BP-3.0 updates.

I the next release or so the BuddyPress team are planning to launch a new bp theme – nouveau –

Hi @dcavins

I added your code to the end of child theme > functions.php at the end of the code provided by @mastershas and got a syntax error

Hi @mbv-

The data should be slashed on the way into the database. When you call the activity content using bp_get_activity_content_body(), many filters are applied, including stripslashes_deep here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-activity/bp-activity-filters.php#L82

If you’re displaying activity using an activity loop (like BuddyPress does in its default theme parts), then the results are as expected. If you’re accessing the data some other way, you’re going to need to apply the needed filters to it. Check out the link above to see all the filters that applied to bp_get_activity_content_body.

Hi, the easiest way to do this is to filter the WP “author link” so that it redirects to the member’s BP profile: https://gist.github.com/dcavins/94e4989cad997d0553e8e5db37f30b40

If you want to change the template used by an article, it will depend on your theme. For instance, if you were using twentyseventeen and wanted to add the author’s link to the meta section at the end of a post, it looks like you’d want to create a new version of the function twentyseventeen_entry_footer(). So you could copy that function to bp-custom.php or your child theme’s functions.php file, then add the function the_author_posts_link() where you want the link to appear. in any case, adding the author link to a post is a common WP task, so I’m guessing there are lots of tutorials about how to manage that part.
