BuddyPress.org

Hi @jakobbader.. can you do the followings ?

1. Most importantly, disable all plugins except BuddyPress.
2. Also try Switching theme and Check.
3. Make Sure you haven’t changed core files.

>I downloaded buddypress and the template pack too

Why did you download the template pack, can you tell us what led you to the template pack, that package is quite old and not relevant you shouldn’t need it if you simply allow the BP theme compatibility process to run and copy any files if you need to customize them to your theme as explained in the article linked to above.

We’d be interested to know what led you to the Template Pack so we can see if we have misleading guides and/or links to it that we can qualify to make things clearer.

Theme My Login will allow you to perform a redirect on login. You will need to add the social login button functionality separately. Search the WordPress Plugin Directory for one that works for you and is actively maintained.

Take a look at the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article. That should answer any questions you have.

hi @chilligrower,

i’m unable to reproduce your issue with P2 Categories. Out of the box installed, and avatar upload and cropping are working correctly.
The only thing i see, is that the drop area may need a little width adjustment. A percentage of 98% will show the right border.

Default css
.drag-drop #drag-drop-area {
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}

See screenshot

You didn’t mention the theme you use, so it’s a bit difficult to help. Or where this code is placed.

Read here, and maybe you can get something
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_avatar

Would it work if I would not connect the “members” page with BuddyPress in the settings, set the page to private and pull the dynamic content for the members list by a stortcode?

No, no, no. That page is core, must exist and should be blank. Just a (custom) title.

Do I need to learn to code to use BuddyPress?
No, but it’s better if you know some basics.

To make the member directory for loggedin users only, you have to:
– create a child-theme (is explained on WP and BP codex)
– copy/paste index.php from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php
to
/wp-content/themes/your_child/buddypress/members/index.php

In this copy, right after <div id="buddypress">, in the existing php opening tag just after, you add if(is_user_logged_in() ):

At the end of the file, you’ll find the closing div tag of #buddypress.
Just before this closing tag, again an opening php tag, you add endif; before the do_action you’ll see there.

If you did it correctly, the directory is now only be visible for loggedin users.

Some basics:

open php tag <?php
closing php tag ?>

open html tag <div>
closing html tag </div>

@guidobrasil

and same (premium)theme… ! Have you tested with Twenty Thirteen ?

Do you use a child-theme ?

@jdc2018 Have you set the WordPress admin panel > Settings > Permalinks to a configuration other than the default configuration. mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work.

If changing permalinks doesn’t work: WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? What other plugins are activated in your site? Where are you hosted?

Rich and famous lazy solution try perhaps this add-on first:

Hi,

first, update WordPress to 4.2.2

Second, activate Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Thirteen theme

Third, review BP settings. If Group component is activated, you should have a page assigned to it. If you have some older Group page in trash, clear it. This page must be empty, without template or modell assigned. Just a title nd that’s all.

Fourth, go to permalinks settings and choose any option except “by default”. Save.

Five, activate wp_debug mode in wp-config.php

Finally, go to front-end, Group Directory and create a group.

Seems to be an Ajax conflict. Could come from the theme or a plugin.

First thing to do is to activate Twenty Fifteen or Thirteen and to activate debug mode in wp-config.
Then you deactivate all plugins but BuddyPress.

If it is OK, you reactivate them one by one untill you find a culprit or get some warnings or php notice.

Hi @mdesouza,

There is no switch for that. But each user can allow/disallow some email notice from within his profile.
your-site/members/USERNAME/settings/notifications/

1) you have to activate Friends Connection and Notification component.
2) Activate pretty permalinks or re save the present settings. Allways good to do after updates or heavy modifications or plugin (+/-) management

Test also the behave with one of WP’s default theme if you use a third party theme.

We can’t answer to this as we have no free access to a premium theme like Avada. Sorry !
You have to ask on your theme support.

Should these dynamic child pages all be the same as the parent?
Yes ! Even if these are not child pages, but simple template parts

Guess you have to read Avada’s help support.

Avada Documentation

By default, BuddyPress use theme’s page.php
Try to assign a sidebar to page.php via Avada customizer.

Or if you prefer to code your own template, WP function is get_sidebar(); See how to use it in page.php in Twenty Thirteen

Which type of forum ?
Are you sure your forum is correctly setup ?
Please give details: site url, theme name.

Nte that bbPress is a separate plugin. If you encounter an issue with it, it’s better to ask on their support.

Why can’t you do that ?

Copy/paste this to bp-custom.php and adjust the size to your need (250 to whatever)

define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 250 );
define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 250 );

And use FTP to upload bp-custom

Which result when you use Twenty Fifteen theme ?
Do you use some custom functions on group page ?

Also, as of Codex https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/groups/
This is a private group

Options

Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.

Regarding 1, have a read of the Template Hierarchy article. This will give you an overview of how templates work.

You’ll need to know PHP in order to do point 2.
