BuddyPress.org

you would need to manually edit/change the group widget php page of your theme

You should never hack core files, as you already said ,you will have to redo your customization after each update !

1) https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/

2) BP will be updated, and your custom work will remain intact, as long as you use a child-theme and bp-custom.php Child theme and bp-custom have priority when BP is loaded. Anything which is not in them will then be taken directly from BP or theme. Read about template hierarchy on codex.

All this is detailled on codex. If questions, seacch the forum, they’re many topics around this.

Most of bp files are in php, so i can’t answer for YOUR php file.

I you modify the register page, where xprofile fields are showing at first, the template file i’m talking about is in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php.

If you don’t know about template overload, read here first.

Or if you use a custom function to fire your work via an action hook, perhaps you could try to use bp-custom.php

I see the members list (http://www.hostinggeeks.net/members/) !
I see the site activity (http://www.hostinggeeks.net/activity/) !

You have to debug your site.

Use a Twenty theme while debuging and activate wp-debug in wp-config.php

The k-elements plugin is throwing many warnings. Deactivate it and ask evtl. for help on it’s support forum.

That’s unfortunately what i expected… GF is a third party premium plugin for which nobody can help you here, except if he/she use that plugin.

If you read here, it’s somehow explained in details.

What you already used (gform_field_value_linkuser), linkuser is a GF field name. If i’m right, see the advanced tab of that field and complete the name parameter.

Here a snippet which let you see how to link a username to his profile, when you’re outside of the member_loop. It will output the current user name on the site wide activity header. For test only.

Note that it use BuddyPress default Name field and that it comes from a BP form. As you use GF, you certainly need to find how to grab properly a GF field value.

Function goes to bp-cutom, may also work in theme’s functions.php

function bpfr_my_profile_link_on_SWA_header () {	
	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
	$profile_url = bp_loggedin_user_domain();

	if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return;
	}

	echo '<br>Test userlink:&nbsp;'; 

	if ( !$data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Name' ) ) : 

		echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'Name', bp_get_member_user_id() ) .'<a href="'. $profile_url .'">'. bp_core_get_username( $user_id ).'</a><br>';

	endif;		

}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'bpfr_my_profile_link_on_SWA_header' ); 

Sorry, I can’t help you more.

Give details please: php version, theme name, used plugins.

Hi,

does this happen on a live site or a local install ?
Do you have the same issue when you use a Twenty something theme ?
Do you use some message related plugin or custom function ?

Give details: php version, theme name.

Hi,

check from here wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page that you have the 2 pages for registering and activation.

On BP’s pages settings list, you can see in regard of Activation and Registration each page. There is no Save button. Just a View button.

Check also that you don’t have these page in Trash. If it’s the case, clear it completely. Page names must be unique in any case.

Also go to you permalinks and choose an option except default and save.

If still in trouble after that, provide screenshot and theme name, php version and if you use a new install or an updated version.
