BuddyPress.org

Do you want to remove the “Alphabetical” in the Order By dropdown?

If you are using a BuddyPress specific theme, please look into yourtheme/buddypress/members/index.php and you will see the code there for this option. Just remove that.

if you are not using a BuddyPress specific theme or your theme does not have this file, you can copy index.php file from plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members directory and put it in yourtheme/buddypress/members directory.

then you can modify the file to remove the dropdown option.

Hope that helps.

Check out the article on Page Templates.

afaik, there aren’t any in BP.
There is support for shortcodes that you or others write for plugins and themes.

If you’re having problems with Theme My Login, try Customizing the Login Form instead.

Sorry for you, but you have to debug.

Also, activate a default Twenty theme and deactivate all plugins exxcept BP.
WP+BP should work correctly with a Twenty theme before activating any other plugin or custom theme.

If you use some custom code in your theme (or child theme), deactivate it provisory. Same thing if you use bp-custom.php

Search also the forum as they are many related topics for debuging BP.

Hi,

WP’s toolbar is not part of BP, and not part of your theme. This bar belongs to WP.

I suggest that you don’t remove(or deactivate) the whole bar, but only remove any menu item belonging to WP, except the “howdy” menu where BP install his sub-menu items.

To do this, you have to use some custom functions related to wp_admin_bar class.

Use $wp_admin_bar->add_node or $wp_admin_bar->remove_node

How to Customize the WordPress ToolBar

Hi,

please provide more details about your install. For now it is just impossible to help.

Used theme ?
Php version ?
Install type ? (single, network)
List of plugins ?
Hoster and plan, server type ?

Thank you for comprehension.

This error is showing up to many websites. A google search for “PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-groups-member.php on line 1170” returns almost 5500 results…

And if you search for “PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in class-bp-groups-member.php on line” (removing line number and the path of the file from the results, you get some something like 337000 results.

My site is also showing this message, and I already removed all plugins and themes, running the latest version of WP, BP and BBPress with Twenty Seventeen template.

I guess it may be a problem with php, or maybe with chrome and chromium… Maybe it is time to start working on this issue.

I already added the following in my functions.php:

/* Remove errors if any */
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
/* End remove Errors */

it’s not the ideal. there is also the better option to add some lines in your wp-config.php, to do a proper debug and get it in a log file, instead of showing it in the site.

That page is made up of template parts but you would start by editing your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/index.php. If the file doesn’t exist you will need to create it. For more information check out the Template Hierarchy article

Ref https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

The Theme My Login plugin will let you do this. I’ve used it successfully with BP many times.

Have you customized any BP templates?
Either in the plugin or in your child theme?

Look at this file, it’s the one you should be using.
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\messages\compose.php

Are you using the BP Default theme? You shouldn’t.

It may be a theme conflict – test by momentarily switching to a WP theme like 2015.

Yes, it’s called a template overload.

Your theme’s CSS is displaying list items with bullets. Try making use of list-style-type: none;.

Ref https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-type

Hi,

“member” is a core component of BuddyPress and can’t be disabled. You need the “member” slug (or what ever you may use as custom slug) in the wp environment, for example to fire profiles, messages and so on.

You want to obfuscate or forbid the member directory. That’s ok. Let’s make it simple and stupid! One possibility would be to add a restriction on the directory template. For example, you could allow only the site admin to access that part. Other roles will get a message instead (or nothing at all, or a redirection…).

If i’m right, the directory template is in bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php
Condition you could use:

 if ( !is_super_admin() ) {
 echo 'This page is not public';
} else {
// here the template content
}

To use this solution you need to use a child theme.
There are many other ways to accomplish what you want. Here the most simple(imo), but you can go to overcomplicated and very sophisticated too.

Hi,

My Buddy Groups is not a string used in BuddyPress, and explain why you don’t find it (at least in BuddyPress).

could it be that you use some group plugin ? Or a BP specific theme ?
Search there, plugin or theme have usually their own language file.
