BuddyPress.org

Just guessing…
Instead of a filter, try using the action hook:

add_action( 'bp_legacy_theme_ajax_querystring', 'sbpp04_hide_from_ajax_search', 50, 2 );

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_ajax_querystring/

This function will redirect everyone, other than site administrators, to the home page when they try and access the members directory.
Put it in bp-custom.php.

function grim_members_directory() {

	if ( bp_is_members_directory() && ! is_super_admin() )
		bp_core_redirect( site_url() );
	
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'grim_members_directory' );

Hi @grimbot,

Members are the heart of BuddyPress. So it is important to understand that members are core and that anything related to them is quite “delicate” to handle.

In your case, removing the member directory doesn’t mean to remove the page called members, because this page is BP territory and, like i said, it is core. If you remove it, you avoid BP to work.

First thing you can do is to remove any access to this member page on your theme.
Go to appearance > menu and uncheck “members” from the BP menu.

Try switching to the 2016 theme, with no plugins loaded there should not be much to mess with the CSS/javascript.

Try this in bp-custom.php

function sg_gettext( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {

    if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
           return $translated;

    switch ( $original_text ) {
        case 'Add Friend':
            return 'Something Else';

        default:
            return $translated;
    }
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'sg_gettext', 20, 3 );

That looks like a feature of your theme, which theme is it?

Do you know which plugin it was? That’s probably going to be important.

The first thing I would check is to see if the plugin made a template overload of some of the BP pages:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

I’d be looking to see if they had changes the Members Loop

Could it be a shortcode that came with the theme? Either that or it’s a premium plugin I’ve not heard of.

Yes those should definitely show up, I’ve got members in my directories not shown up in years and they still display, they are bottom of the list

Have you ruled out the usual suspects? other plugins and/or theme?

The path should be /my-theme/buddypress/members/activate.php

You’ll find that text in the bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php template.

This article will help too 🙂

Template Hierarchy

Trying to get a theme to support BP can be a bit of a challenge, if it were me I’d start with adding the register and login links in the menu then hide them for logged in users to keep it tidy, you can do that using WPFront User Role Editor. I run a few sites with theme’s that don’t support BP, it is possible but often you find yourself having to make css changes in order to display parts of the site correctly.

I’ve set up a site, which is about setting up BuddyPress, you might want to take a look, it might give you some ideas. http://buddyuser.com

Memory could be running out due to heavy theme, too many plugins or badly written code.If server can’t handle it all. Reevaluate any plugins, do you need them all?

Notice a memory fail with woo commerce email class. Might affect other emails. Try deactivating woo and see if password email goes through.

Theme: Kleo (Parent and Child) Latest version
WP: Latest Version
BP: Latest Version

Having the same issue and have reported it in Buddypress Trac, Buddypress Support forums (here) and discussed it at length with Seventh Queen (theme developer).

Tried it with all themes…parent, child, and default 2016. Problems exist in all themes

Turned off all plugins. Problem persists regardless.

Cleaned all caches, including host, and Cloudflare.

Can’t seem to find a solution. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I’m not sure if this is still of interest – but BuddyBoss has developed a premium theme Social Marketplace that could probably do what you’re looking for:

Social MarketPlace

Yes, you would also need WordPress (free) and BuddyPress (free) and WooCommerce (free) to get it running. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but I’m currently working on a site using Social Portfolio by BuddyBoss and I must say they did a great job. It can be quite demanding to get everything working, but so far I have no complaints. Cheers!

Hi @fakurkr,

the other solution is to use the existing action hooks existing in each BP template.
Templates are the files stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ directory.

For example if you read the code in buddypress/members/single/member-header.php, you will find not less than 6 action hooks, only for the profile header. This means 6 potential places where to add something like a message.

Th other avantage of this method is that you don’t need to modify any template and that you stay independant from any theme, because you will use a function from bp-custom.php

In your case, adding a message on user’s profile with help of a function like this:

function bpfr_my_message_on_profile () {	

	echo 'Your custom text with HTML code or whatever'; 

add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'bpfr_my_message_on_profile' );

And because it is only fired on a profile header, you don’t need the conditional (my_profile). You can of course add other conditions. Sky is the limit !

It is doubtful that anyone will fix your premium theme for you.
Your best bet is to contact the theme creators and explain the issue.
