BuddyPress.org

I’m sorry, groups_is_user_admin() is the wrong function, you need something more like this current_user_can('editor') || current_user_can('administrator'). That needs to be wrapped in an IF statement.

You would put that in your-theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php.

I believe this is the default functionality of a BuddyPress powered site.

Your theme may be hijacking this, I’d look in the theme files first for a template.

Try with 2016 wp theme should work fine

The crappy stuff is not bp related it is kleo theme related you need to ask them

Don’t know if it will work with your theme but you may want to look at the code snippets here

Login redirects not working

You could try using the WordPress API, there is a function called login_redirect()

/**
 * Redirect user after successful login.
 *
 * @param string $redirect_to URL to redirect to.
 * @param string $request URL the user is coming from.
 * @param object $user Logged user's data.
 * @return string
 */
function my_login_redirect( $redirect_to, $request, $user ) {
	//is there a user to check?
	if ( isset( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
		//check for admins
		if ( in_array( 'administrator', $user->roles ) ) {
			// redirect them to the default place
			return $redirect_to;
		} else {
			return home_url();
		}
	} else {
		return $redirect_to;
	}
}

add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );

You need to add something like the code above your child theme functions.php file, or you can create a plugin and add this code to it.

you need to check with lifterlms on this…as its a custom theme

Hi, this started to happen to me with the latest buddypress update, I have a buddypress folder in my theme with my customizations, so I tried renaming that folder so it won’t be used, however the issue still occurs…

the php error is the following

[error] 10524#0: *41486276 FastCGI sent in stderr: “PHP message: PHP Warning: reset() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in /var/www/website.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template.php on line 3048” while reading response header from upstream, client: 74.130.56.345, server: website.com, request: “GET /members/meinhardt/media/604/ HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:”, host: “www.website.com”, referrer: “http://www.website.com/activity/“

The only thing I haven’t done is strip everything down; deactivate all the plugins and switch to default theme. I could do that, but do I lose configuration I already did to my theme now?

In theory you should be able to switch theme without problems, but unfortunately this isn’t always the case. My advice would be to set up a testing install (a copy of your existing files and database) where you can try out the default theme, deactivate plugins without fear of losing anything etc.

Can you list the plugins you’re using? The likely cause is either a) a plugin b) your theme or c) some code snippet you have in bp-custom.php.

I use a shared hosting environment and performance is sluggish at best and I’ve taken a lot of time to develop a theme that is barebones with regard to what WordPress and BuddyPress both give you.

So, you may want to setup in an environment where you can be provisioned for more hardware resources or better hardware.

Like Paul says though, there are many successful sites out there. I’d do your research and speak with the host.

I’m not savvy in this area, only speaking from experience,

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Try asking the theme author to add BuddyPress support. It’s easy for themes to support BuddyPress ever since the template hierarchy went live in BP 1.7.

Get a bp supported theme!!!

I am no expert but have you tried copying the BP legacy theme files to your theme/child theme directory?

you need to ask this at wooffice theme support

Sounds like you’re using a theme that’s stopping this or when you publish a post you have it set to private.

It’s more for WordPress forums given posts are a WordPress feature and not a BuddyPress one.

Look at your theme files, index.php and look for anything that looks like it’s making those posts only accessible to logged in users. Something like is_user_logged_in().

forum.php of your theme file in child theme which u are using and remove

<?php post_form(); ?>

also edit, in both forum.php and front-page.php

<th><?php _e(‘Topic’); ?> — <?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?></th>

to become

<th><?php _e(‘Topic’); ?></th>
