Have revisted this interesting query!

Consulted this similar query

and have come up with another possible solution
(so long as the main site has a different theme or child theme to the other sites.)

in functions.php of sub-sites’ themes insert

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_to_specific_page' );

function redirect_to_specific_page() {

if (is_page('Register') && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {

wp_redirect( 'http://yourmainsite.dev/register/', 301 ); 
  exit;
    }
}

would not work with slug is_page(‘register’}

In that case it could be your theme?

Please don’t call out people individually.

Create a Page – not a Post.

Create a template and assign it to that Page.
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/page-templates/#creating-custom-page-templates-for-global-use

Put your members-loop code in that page.
Also include get_header() and get_footer() calls.

Hi @imath thanks for jumping in. I spoke with the theme developers and they said that the theme sets the “BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH” to 580 px. But even so, the Buddypress message is still wrong, because I’m uploading a bigger image and the message tells me that it’s a smaller image.

The two files in /wp-content/your-theme/buddypress/members – folder

(however – bespoke multi-network bits & pieces like “genre” not really relevant to the instant query)

Cheers

Can only offer this.

My alternative members directory is “local-” as in “local-members-loop.php”

I also have a copy of members-loop.php in the /wp-content/your-theme/buddypress/members folder

But that was only (at least i thought!) so that i added a line in the main directory directing users to the local directory

mysite.com/local-members/ gets the alternative directory and mysite.com/local-members-loop.php/ produces a 404

While i am running bp 2.5.1 and wp 4.4.2 and a lot of plugins these bp pages are in a child theme and have not been updated for a while and so may not reflect recent changes to the bp-legacy theme BUT they work!

Try this. It MAY work.

In your theme folder add a folder named “buddypress”.

In that folder place another folder named “members”

Duplicate the file /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

Rename this new duplicate file to say “new-york-members-loop.php” and place it in /wp-content/your-theme/buddypress/members

Obviously you will code conditions into this file so that it only turns up members from New-York.

(conditions and name etc to your specs)

The file should respond to the link http://yoursite.com/new-york-members/

The mods you mention will surely refine this if not correct!!!

Still White Screen of Death, error log isn’t show fatals, but I’ve got about 10 gigs of error_log of this sort of thing:

[Thu Mar 10 13:34:26 2016] [warn] [client 141.101.81.74] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: Missing argument 1 for ow_is_addon_group(), called in /var/www/vhosts/oneword.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/oneword/activity/activity-loop.php on line 21 and defined in /var/www/vhosts/oneword.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/oneword/functions.php on line 240, referer: http://www.oneword.com/members/gemmaflowers81/

This might be due to a plugin you have activated or perhaps even the theme you’re using. Try disabling all plugins and reverting to Twenty Fifteen. Does the search return offline users now?

You mentioned you’re using a customised theme. Can you check if you still see the problem when using Twenty Fifteen?

You don’t really need to be looking at that codex page, this ought to be a simple overload of templates, i.e copy register, from BP to your theme and edit as required. If you start to work with the extended advanced hierarchy templates you have to create full standalone templates i.e each must contain header and footer includes (hence why you appear to have lost styling, no head element for your document).

2.) Then when altering configuration (i.e. adding add_filter( ‘bp_email_use_wp_mail’, ‘__return_true’ ); to BP_Custom), and testing again, the emails output a combination of WP Better Email and the default template with various CSS Styles altering different parts of the email with each new email sent.

BTW, this is exactly what I expect to happen. The content from the plain text version of the email from BuddyPress into the template provided by, in this case, WP Better Email.

If you’re saying extra CSS is getting involved, I strongly suspect you have some other plugin or theme component adding extra junk.

That would be buddypress/members/index-register.php. See the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article for more details.

Hi

you can use this snippet from within bp-custom.php to change the default year range in the profile field datepicker (1902 – 2035). In the example, you will get 1950 – 2020

function custom_bp_datebox($html, $type, $day, $month, $year, $field_id, $date) {      
    if($type == 'year'){
   
        $html = '<option value=""' . selected( $year, '', false ) . '>----</option>';
 
        for ( $i = 2020; $i > 1949; $i-- ) {
                $html .= '<option value="' . $i .'"' . selected( $year, $i, false ) . '>' . $i . '</option>';
        }
    }
    return $html;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_datebox', 'custom_bp_datebox',10,7);

Tested with BP 2.5 and a third party theme. Hope it helps you. 😉

Hello,

I agree having more betatesters would be fine but sometimes it’s difficult when you just manage only one Buddypress site.

I’m having the same problem, the activation mail is not being sent since I updated. I have activated full debug mode (E_ALL and Display_errors) but nothing shows in the error log.

Besides, I had overriden the normal activation mail in my child’s theme’ functions.php. After it stopped working I did a grep and saw the function I was trying to use was in the v2.5 deprecated list, so I commented out all the overriding code.

I’m using the Easy WP SMTP plugin, the sender mails are good ones both in the plugin and the main WordPress configuration, and it can receive mails.
