BuddyPress.org

Hi,
you have to use a child-theme for this or you will loose any custom rule at next theme update.

You can use something like this, where in your child style.css file has no importance.

a,
a:visited,
a:hover,
a:focus,
a:active {	
	color: #b61a1a; /*red */
}

Create a template over-load of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

In the overload, remove the span that shows the last_activity blurb.

hi @davehakkens,

You use a standalone bbPress. Normally you have to ask on bbPress forum for such questions.

Add this to bp-custom.php or child theme functions.php and give a try.

i tested it with group forums only, so i couldn’t test all the filters.
You might to find/experiment others.

It’s a working example who fires the country value. But you’ll certainly have to complete it to get the flag image.

function country_flag() {
$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
$country = xprofile_get_field_data( 'country', $user_id );

	echo '<div class="country">'. $country .'</div>';
	
}
add_filter( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'country_flag' );
//add_filter( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_author', 'country_flag' );

Your time stamps looks correct, I’m guessing you mean the Danish translation isn’t working correctly?

You can grab the newest Danish Buddypress translation here https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/da/default/wp-plugins/buddypress followed by merging your current buddypress-da_DK.po file in poedit like this http://www.marketpressthemes.com/blog/how-to-merge-two-po-files-using-poedit/, translate the words you needs to translate, save it as both buddypress-da_DK.po and buddypress-da_DK.mo – and reupload it to your server in your language folder.

Re appearing on the members list, you can handle them has a batch; much faster than logging in as each member.

For example, for all subscribers:

function steve_add_last_activity() {

  $subscribers =  get_users( 'fields=ID&role=subscriber' );
  
   foreach ( $subscribers as $user_id ) {

        bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id, bp_core_current_time() );

   }

}
//add_action('bp_init', 'steve_add_last_activity' );

Uncomment the add_action ( iow. remove the // ) whenever you want to use the function.
Put it in your theme functions.php or in bp-custom.php

See this tutorial if it helps.

Afaik that you have to ask the theme author if you wouldn’t change it. It’s a premium theme and we can’t help you, as we have no access to his code.

FYI, when you make customization, do it always in a child-theme. This not only save your work when a theme update comes up, but it let you also use another theme at any moment.

@cyanthaiger Which BP version do you use ?
Please give also your plugin list and theme name.

So you are not seeing those ones? Did you deactivate all other plugins and try a default theme?

Hi guys,

you don’t need a plugin to get a contextual sidebar. You can do that with a few conditionnals and a function. Let’s take 2016 as example.

Copy sidebar.php file of your theme to child-theme.
Add an action hook to the template. Ie. xtra_sidebar
Almost done !

In Twenty Sixteen, it looks like this:

<aside id="secondary" class="sidebar widget-area" role="complementary">

	<?php do_action( 'xtra_sidebar' ); ?>
	<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>

</aside>

Into bp-custom.php or child theme functions.php you add following function(s)

If you want different custom sidebar content for different groups:

function xtra_group_sidebar() {
   if ( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) {

      // conditionnal for group name (slug format)
      if ( bp_is_groups_component() && 'kill-bill' == bp_current_item() ):

	 // your content
	 echo '<section id="categories-2222" class="widget widget_categories">';
	 echo '<h2 class="widget-title">what time is it Bill ? </h2>';
	 $my_date = date('H:i'); echo $my_date; 
         echo '</section>';
      endif;
		
      if ( bp_is_groups_component() && 'terminator' == bp_current_item() ):
	 echo '<h3 style="color:red">WHO KNOWS ?</h3>';
      endif;
		
      if ( bp_is_groups_component() && 'harry-poter' == bp_current_item() ):
         echo 'Hou ouh...';
      endif;
   }
}
add_action( 'xtra_sidebar', 'xtra_group_sidebar' );

If you want a custom sidebar for profiles only, you use:

function xtra_profile_sidebar() {

	if ( bp_is_active('xprofile' ) && bp_is_user() ) {
		?><section id="categories-1111" class="widget widget_categories">
		<h2 class="widget-title">My profile sidebar</h2>
		My sidebar content</section>
<?php
	}

}
add_action( 'xtra_sidebar', 'xtra_profile_sidebar' );

function xtra_directory_sidebar() {

   if ( bp_is_active('xprofile' ) && bp_is_user() ) { 
?>
      <section id="categories-1111" class="widget widget_categories">
      <h2 class="widget-title">My directory sidebar</h2>
      My directory content</section>
<?php
	}
}
add_action( 'xtra_sidebar', 'xtra_directory_sidebar' );

You can of course use the same technique for all other BP components.
For profiles, you can even add a user_id check so you can personalize the sidebar for a given user.
Or create a sidebar for visitors and another one for logged_in members… Sky is the limit ! 😉

Note that the div and css names are theme dependant. The example use those of 2016 but you have to adjust that to fit your theme.

Note also that most sidebars use listed content (ul/li). Try to respect that or you might break your theme. Check how it’s done and use the same. If you find ID numbers, use a very high number ! I use 1111, because i will never have 1111 widgets in my sidebar ! 😉

Another way to do that would be to add conditionnals into the sidebar template. For example:

if ( !this_component() ) {
   show the original sidebar
} else {
   show my xtra sidebar
}

Hope it helps and happy templating ! 🙂

I did the tests you recommended and it was my W3 Total Cache plugin that was causing the issue. I will have to look into that to figure out what setting was messing it up. @Scaffies doesn’t have that plugin, so guess our issues were caused by different things.

I set up this permalink structure and afterwards was able to create a group on my test server, so that’s not it.

What other plugins are you running? Have you tried deleting all but BuddyPress? Also try with the 2015 theme.

Hi,

you’re using a one page theme, which is not the easiest to start with for a beginner.

I would recommand that you read first your theme documentation.

One of the first line of the documentation contains:
This WordPress theme can be entirely configured via WordPress Theme Customizer […].

I encourage you to use that feature, before adding custom code.

I tested the theme. Downloaded and activated. I didn’t upload the bunch of additionnal plugins recommanded by the author. At a first glance, all seems to work correctly. And my register page has a header.

Out of the box, the theme comes with a header image. You can change it via the customizer.
Dashboard > Apparence > Header

As it is a one page, you have no (easy)possibility to assign different headers to different pages, like what you apparently try to do. The BP register page runs with the same header as the site.

To change the CSS or BP templates, you need a child-theme. This let you make customization without loosing your changes after a theme, a BP or WP update.

In the style.css of the child theme, you add this rule for the new header color:

#header .bottom-header h2 {
    color: #000;
}

You can, for test purpose, add it to /illdy/style.css (which is empty). But be aware that it will certainly be overwritten at next update.

Any other question related to your theme should be asked on theme support (you already asked there for the same as here).

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Buddypress does not support this functionality out of the box, but with a little PHP knowledge one could make these adjustments to your buddypress site.

Be sure when making customizations that you don’t overwrite the plug-in! You can include BuddyPress/bbPress template files in your theme and modify them to do whatever you want. The possibilities are endless!

Check out the BuddyPress documentation for more info on extending BuddyPress for custom features.

BuddyPress Codex

Hi,

you need a function to do that.

Here’s one who will show the user id on profile header and on members directory.
Add it to bp-custom.php or child theme functions.php

function razman_user_id_display() {
	if ( bp_is_user() ) {
		$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();	
	} else {
		$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
	}
		
	echo '<div class="myuser-id">My user ID: '. $user_id .'</div>';
	
}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'razman_user_id_display' );
add_action( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'razman_user_id_display' );

Hi,

it seems that you have a lot of pages on the site and that you use weird settings.

I would do the following:
– remove any redirect settings and other done via plugins.
– deactivate all plugins except buddypress.
– activate 2016, and not a child theme.
– ensure that each active BP component has a page assigned and that this page is unique, without any template or model assigned. Just a title and nothing else.
Actually, you have links like “…/americannexus.net/activity/members/” (found in the Who’s on widget). Or the link to Archangel’s profile indicates “../americannexus.net/activity/members/archangel/”

That’s unusual and cannot work properly, except if your WP is in a directory called “activity”. And it is not the case ! Note also that BP should be at the same level as WP.

– set up pretty permalinks (what ever but default option) and save.

– and read attentively the install guide.

Other dysfunctionning points:
The toolbar has a Register button who link to ../americannexus.net/join/ (this works correctly)
but the homepage shows ../americannexus.net/register/. If you want visitors to register, send them to /join/ page and not to an empty page.

…and of course, this link doesn’t work too (at least for a not logged visitor) : ../americannexus.net/activity/groups/create/

Here the list of correct slugs of a default BP install:
– your-site.net
– your-site.net/register/
– your-site.net/activity -> BP site activity page (active by default)
– your-site.net/members/ -> BP members directory (mandatory)
– your-site.net/groups/ -> BP groups directory (if group component is active)

These BP pages are dynamic and depending the context, you can have ie:
your-site.net/members/USERNAME -> goes to a profile
your-site.net/members/USERNAME/friends -> goes to the friends screen of the specified user

It works the same for groups.

Once BP and WP are working correctly together, you can reactivate the child theme and your plugins.

Can’t say more! The site is not public, you use S2 members, pages are redirected, and you use a premium theme. And apparently you’re unable to provisory revert to a standart install without undoing a lot of settings. If you couldn’t test, how could we do ?

I presume there is a little js conflict somewhere – which could explain the jumping page phenomenom.
Afaik you have to ask on the theme support how to adjust the layout while using BuddyPress.
