@whiteeagle1985 The author links that are shown in the post comes from the the function which is defined in the wordpress theme. Every theme has a redefine function to print the author link. The solution can be creating a child theme and redefine the function according to your need. I am not sure which theme you are using.

@flashvilla, hope this helps:

I’m using Gravity Forms to display a contact form on each member profile page and dynamically populating a hidden field with the member’s email address.

Here’s info on dynamically populating a field in GF

Their example:

add_filter( 'gform_field_value_your_parameter', 'my_custom_population_function' );
function my_custom_population_function( $value ) {
    return 'boom!';
}

I have changed this to:

add_filter('gform_field_value_bp_member_email', 'bp_member_email');
function bp_member_email($value){
  return bp_get_displayed_user_email();
}

In Gravityforms, I have then created a hidden field and in the advanced tab of that field, checked “Allow field to be populated dynamically” and entered the “Parameter Name:” as “bp_member_email”

Then, in the notifications, the “Send to Email” should be changed from a standard email to a Gravityform tag. You can get that by clicking the little arrow key beside many fields such as “From Name” box. Find the name of your hidden field and click that. It should give you something like this: {BP Member Email:7} where “BP Member Email” is the name I gave the hidden field – yours will be whatever you named it.

You’ll also need to embed the form to your child theme: /themes/yourchildtheme/buddypress/members/single/home.php

Details on how to embed into your theme can be found here. Example: (where 1 is the ID of your form and 12 is the starting tabindex)

<?php gravity_form(1, false, false, false, '', true, 12); ?>

If this worked, you can view the source code of the member page and you’ll see the member’s email as an input value in the hidden field.

Hope this helps!

Please note: if you can’t have the person’s email displayed publicly in the source code for privacy (even though it’s not visible on the site), you will need an alternative method. Members on my site all have their emails visible so it’s not an issue for me.

Check out the Template Hierarchy article. You can override the default templates by creating custom templates in your theme.

Put this css inside your customizer or child theme.

/* wp-admin bar */
@media screen and (max-width: 782px) {
	#wpadminbar li#wp-admin-bar-bp-login a, #wpadminbar li#wp-admin-bar-bp-register a {
		padding: 0 8px;
	}
}

@media screen and (max-width: 782px) {
	#wpadminbar li#wp-admin-bar-bp-login, #wpadminbar li#wp-admin-bar-bp-register {
		display: block;
	}
}

Hi,
Do you have the BuddyPress Force Profile Photo plugin active? If yes, Please disable it.

If no, you will need to consult your theme developer, as they might have added it.

Hope that helps.

Okay again I know BP is straving for compatibility.
But if a theme does not have the style.css where is the ability to edit the registration fields?

@aslandoma There were some changes to the BP widget styles to improve accessibility for BP 2.9. Based on the images you posted, it looks like you just need to override parent theme BP styles and change some padding and floats.

Visited your site and didn’t find any BP widgets on the pages I clicked on, so do provide a URL with the BP widgets and/or activate the BP widgets so we may help you resolve the issue.

Which element(s) are styled wrong?

Are you using a Child Theme?

If not, you should create a child theme, apply changes to the css files in the child theme, and not typically have this problem ever again.

They said they changed the nchor tag in the new version. What kind of elements are displaying wrong?

Well, you said that content needs to be fully public, so I guessed that full protection of BP’s content didn’t worry you.

Apart from that, the only thing really missing from the Woo bundle is account area integration, but there is another plugin that deals with that:

https://themekraft.com/products/woocommerce-buddypress-integration/

It’s meant more for the shop side of WooCommerce, but it seems to do the trick.

I had the same issue with the past 2 upgrades. It had something to do with my child theme. Are you using one?

I rolled back to the previous version, re-installed the update, and the 2nd try was a success.

Good luck!

CSS and a bit of rearranging of code can achieve miracles, you just need vision, the main ingredient that makes a well designed internet pie.”

I’m sorry for ‘complaining’ about the #1 social plugin with hundreds of thousands of downloads, that has a UI from 2008. This is just long overdue, and someone needed to say it. I’d love to spend hours learning PHP, but I have to think about my entire site operations – business, getting investors, visual design, some coding, SEO, content writing, research, etc. It’s not always feasible. The User Profile page needs a complete overhaul! If I draw it out, can someone code the layout. I’ll pay you!! lol. Make some money off your BuddyPress PHP skills. User Management plugins (many) are lacking!

Can you try adding the following code snippet to your theme’s functions.php?

add_action( 'wp', function() {
	bp_delete_option( '_bp_record_blogs_offset' );
} );

Visit your homepage once. Then remove the snippet and see if you keep getting the notices.

That could help, but if your “developer” left template folders in your child-theme you need to remove them manually from your server.

You might need to completely change theme if he made it as his child-theme might be…just very bad.

Btw, I never learned Php and get along cuting and pasting my way through child-themes and even I can make it look good, so do not pretend to com plain about something you do not know how to use.

Hello @danbp

Display name in buddypress activity stream is not showing once posting any activity.

It was showing earlier but all of a sudden its not showing for newly registered users. Please check the screenshot below:-

http://nimb.ws/ixjNcq

B’coz of this the {username} field is not showing in email templates as well when someone is inviting others, group invitations etc. wherever involved.

Any help will be very much appreciated. I’m using KLEO theme.

Regards,
Sidd

There is no BuddyPress “business”.

BuddyPress is what you make of it. Same as WordPress. WordPress provides you with a default theme and basic options, same with BuddyPress.

Finally found a solution.
1) add define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ) in wp-content/config.php
2) network activate buddypress
3) install rmiweb-multisite-avatar. It is a custom plugin for rmi.one website not available on wordpress repository. Can’t remember from where i grabbed it but i’ve uploaded it on my uptobox account => http://uptobox.com/543ii9u4ozoh
4) At first it wasn’t working for me on my subsite because the theme (skywarriorthemes.com/arcane/) had an issue with displaying avatar. But i’ve tried it with other 3rd party themes and wordpress default twenty seventeen and it works like a charm. So make sure that your theme is not creating some conflict too like mine did.
5) If you want to completely disable gravatar: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-user-gravatar/
6) Profit.

Hope that helps.

I use the #1 selling wordpress theme Newspaper by tagdiv, and it’s mainly the User Profile & Registration page that can use some tweaking. Also I wish there was a way or easy way to add more user fields to the Member Directory – like a responsive and sortable table format.

I appreciate the work that is put in to Buddy Press, the versatility of it, and that it’s a free plugin, but I think it is being short-changed by not having a premium version that can make it look ‘prettier’. Not sure who’s in charge of the business operations, but should consider a premium add-on for UI/UX. People really would pay for it. Look at Ultimate Member. Buddy Press has a leg-up on them because you have more scale-ability with all the 3rd party add-ons, better performance, and larger user base.

I have had to paid a php guy to customize it, but I need more customizations. This is the only plugin stopping my site from blowing up. Do any of you BPers do custom work? I’ll pay for any custom work to get the layout moved around on User Profile (https://ibb.co/gNat1v) + sortable table Member Directory.

I’d go with Ultimate Member for looks alone, but it slows the crap out of my site and it doesn’t have some of the BP add-ons I want. If Buddy Press looked like UM or BuddyBoss, but kept the drop down menu user section (like Twitter), I’d be your first paying customer.

You’ll probably want to look at the bp_legacy_theme_ajax_messages_autocomplete_results() function and roll your own version.

Something like:

// Remove the default AJAX autocomplete hook.
remove_action( 'wp_ajax_messages_autocomplete_results', 'bp_legacy_theme_ajax_messages_autocomplete_results' );

// Add our own.
add_action( 'wp_ajax_messages_autocomplete_results', 'my_messages_autocomplete_results' );

function my_messages_autocomplete_results() {
	// YOUR CUSTOM AJAX OUTPUT HERE
}

The whole freakin Plugin needs a UI & layout makeover. It’s 2017, looks like crap vs today’s UI/UX standards.

Try to think of BuddyPress as a foundation for your theme to style. If your site looks as bad as you describe then consider switching theme. You mentioned @buddyboss, they build some great themes that might interest you.
