Hi Modemlooper, thank you, I did manage to work it out. Problem partly due to my WP theme has a social counter plugin that provides a stack of fields for links that I assumed were part of the WP or BP basic profile fields. I have set up some of my new xProfiles fields now and have it working – just need to organise these for groups better.
Thanks
Hi,
you have to check your custom plugin. Or even to deactivate it, as it is no more necessary when you use BP. Problem seems to be that you created something related to members handling before BP was installed.
BuddyPress handles members and their avatars via the buit-in WP avatar function.
If you need more help, please give details about your config, theme and custom code. Thxs 😉
Hi,
it’s related to a custom work of the theme used on buddypress.org. You can read more here and get the source code here.
Read also some advice here
Unless you are explicitly using the bp-default theme, not recommended, you should always use these templates: buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\
iow. this members-loop:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php
Thanks, Shane. It’s still happening even if I switch themes. I tried this code and it is still showing the wrong name in the last member listed.
Appreciate the response. Sadly, that would be better than having it nag me all the time. Is there really no way to edit that code so I can place it in my child themes functions.php and it remove the message?
Something like notice = none or something like that?
Ok, I tried what you said
I changed the theme and enabled just the buddypress plugin and still I can’t send any messages..
It only works if I send a global message to all users with admin (but still no one recieve it) but if I try to send to a specific user it doesn’t work
I have successfully removed the message from appearing in my backend by cutting out this code in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/admin/:
if ( !empty( $orphaned_components ) ) {
$admin_url = bp_get_admin_url( add_query_arg( array( 'page' => 'bp-page-settings' ), 'admin.php' ) );
$notice = sprintf( __( 'The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: %2$s. <a href="%1$s">Repair</a>', 'buddypress' ), esc_url( $admin_url ), '<strong>' . implode( '</strong>, <strong>', $orphaned_components ) . '</strong>' );
bp_core_add_admin_notice( $notice );
}
So far there are no malfunctions and no drawbacks. The message is gone and everything appears normal. Seemed to do the trick. Now I can register users through my themes registration process and not have to worry about any Buddypress registration.
To determine if the issue is in your theme, try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2013.
You’ll need to copy members-loop.php to a buddypress folder in that theme.
You can only echo the data if it exists.
Try:
$your_name = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Your Name' );
if ( $your_name != false )
echo $your_name;
Hey Buddypress users. I have current version of WordPress and Buddypress (4/22/2016).
I am trying to completely remove the need for Buddypress registration. Reason being, I have a theme that has its own registration process. With Buddypress registration, that makes it two completely different registration processes.
I want to remove the need to have a Buddypress registration process completely. I have searched throughout your entire forum and I have tried everything. Nothing works. I continue to get the message “Missing buddpress register page. Repair.”
Check your page source to see if body classes are utilised by your theme. Then you can do:
body.classname #selector .etc {
// Stuff.
}
You mean the Groups component of BP?
BP does not support specific themes.
Themes can support BP if they choose to.
You should contact the authors of your theme – there may be simple solution.
It shows many times not only 3 as I said before. I fix my Theme issue as it was from the adsense code (push) … But I want the ads to show only 2 times, otherwise it will cause Google penalty!
Ok because it is show 3 times I think is mess with my theme. How can make it show only 2 times or something…
Correct!!! Thanks Henry, but I dont get it. What about the rest of the files like bp-activity, bp-blogs and so on? I keep them in my theme or I delete them. Also if I need to modify another template do I have to make the same, at the same location?
It looks like you could have the path wrong. Instead of your_theme/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/entry.php, try:
your_theme/buddypress/activity/entry.php
Its amazing how a simple code like this is working: do_action( ‘bp_activity_entry_content’ );
But I have another issue here. I see the code working strait on the buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\activity\entry.php. But I dont know how to create a template overload. I try to follow the info here: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/#how-is-this-useful
So what I dit was to copy the whole buddypress plugin on my theme directory, than I changed the entry.php and add it on my theme/buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\activity\entry.php
But is not working…For sute I miss something!
Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php
And carefully adjust it to your needs.
A lot, maybe most BP sites are not commercial.
You may want to create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\activity\entry.php
To add content to the entries in the activity stream, use this hook in that file:
do_action( 'bp_activity_entry_content' );
If you need access to the activity content as part of your ad display decision chain, use the filter hook in buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-template/ :
apply_filters_ref_array( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', array( $activities_template->activity->content, &$activities_template->activity ) );
try using twentyfifteen default theme and activate only buddypress plugin…disable all other plugins and check if it works..in fact it should work…and as you are using a custom wplms theme get in touch with the theme author for theme related issues..this is not a buddypress issue
I’ve installed on a staging server and have started to play around with it. I do see that the activity feed does indeed have ajax for new comments and activity. What I’m seeing is that if I comment on an article, the article is not ajaxified. Is that something that is easy to code into my theme?
Thanks for answering my dumb questions. I spent a long time searching and I can’t seem to find anything else discussing this.
Thanks, Henry.
This doesn’t happen for me. When I set the page “Register” to a static front page, I can still see custom profile fields in the sign up form. Can you post some details about your set up?
- Theme
- Plugins active
- Do you use custom code snippets in bp-custom.php or functions.php?
- etc
your site takes 2 much time to load firstly…try using twentyfifteen default theme and disable all other plugins to confirm this pvt message issue
better to ask the theme author as he would give you the best possible solution for this
Hello People, I have a similar problem, change-cover-image does not work. This happens with every theme. I have two installations of wordpress, one works (installed locally) and a remote one in the web server which does not work.
Making test with buddypress style I installed plugins as follows:
BuddyPress Profile Tabs
BuddyPress – New UI
Both currently deleted. I cannot say change-cover-image was working before the plugins above.
What I can say is that some strange characteres are displayed before and after the select-file frame as follows:
Before:” /*Subir/*]]>*/
/*Hacer foto/*]]>*/
/* ”
After:” /*]]>*/ ”
I included the quotes. JIC my installation is in spanish.
Thanks a lot in advance people
