BuddyPress.org

No matter the theme or the marketplace, first thing to take in mind is how to respect the standart.

Getting started

One crucial question to all: which theme do you use ?
Have you similar issue by using one of WP’s twenty theme ?
Have you searched in your theme documentation ? Remeber that we do not support commercial products here as we have no access to the code.

Also:
The Toolbar is related to WordPress, BuddyPress use it only to add a sub-nav block under Howdy on the top right corner.

Hi @jaykdoe

You could try this:

function my_private_profiles() {

    // Bail if not a profile page.
    if ( ! bp_is_user_profile() )
        return;

    // Allow admin users.
    if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )
        return;

    // Allow the profile owner.
    if ( bp_loggedin_user_id() == bp_displayed_user_id() )
        return;

    // If we get to here, redirect to homepage.
    bp_core_redirect( home_url() );
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_private_profiles' );

You can copy and paste it into your theme’s functions.php file. Please note I haven’t tested.

Yep, new BP themes when released are very much welcome in my view (that goes for both free and premium)!

Was sorta hoping to make some coin with this theme. wp.org wont do that for me.

Ah I see! Yeah, in that case you’ll need a different approach to advertising it.

You’d just submit it as you would a normal WordPress theme, but specify that it provides support for BuddyPress. See some examples:

https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/buddypress

> there is basic info displayed and all-in-all it doesn’t look horrible…but it is no ok.

@mariofrombelgium Don’t know what kind of theme you chose. But you can create a buddypress.php file in the root of your theme. Convert the page.php to include the_title and the_content tags and that’s what you add to buddypress.php.

Hi @boriskamp1991

The error message is telling us that the undefined function bp_has_forum_topics() is being used in your theme’s front-page.php on line 122. I suspect you don’t have forums activated?

FYI, WordPress Theme Review Team is Cracking Down on Violations of the Presentation vs. Functionality Guideline. Read here.

Here’s another approach, as we going to use an external function instead of modifying the template.

Add this to bp-custom.php

function clickable_countries_on_member_directory() {	
// is xprofile component active ?
if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) {

	if ( $mycountry = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Country', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
		$search_url   = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $mycountry ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() );
		echo '<br/><div class="my_country"><a href="' . esc_url( $search_url ) . '" rel="nofollow">' . $mycountry . '</a></div>';
	endif;	

	}
}
add_filter ( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'clickable_countries_on_member_directory' );

Hi @husk3r

You usually make customisations to your theme’s style via the functions.php file. Considering you’re using a premium theme, the author should provide support. Try writing to them asking how you can make your needed changes.

These might help you @antoinegdln4:

[Resolved] Position Notification Counter Bubble after Specific Navigation Tab ID

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/help-customising-admin-bar-removing-links-from-dropdown/

or removing WP admin bar entirely to all users except admin:

function remove_admin_bar() {
	if ( !current_user_can( 'administrator' ) && !is_super_admin() ) {
	  show_admin_bar(false);
	}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'remove_admin_bar' );

Please use code button to publish code !

Your code is correctly working on 2012 theme…
The file must be in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, not in wp-admin.

Yes you need to be registered before you can join groups, joining a group means needing to add the person as a member ID which they can only have if a WP registered user.

There are plugins though that can do things like auto join groups on registration but to a pre-selected set of groups, if you wanted the user to be able to pre-select a group at registration you would need to write a small function to store a choice as user_meta or similar and recall that when the user activated their account.

On a side note if you’re working up a child theme based on twentyfifteen it would be a good idea to be running a copy of BP trunk as we will introduce a new series of stylesheets for the WP Twenty* themes which may affect what your styling.

@rglennall I’m assuming this should go in your bp-custom.php file, see info here if unfamiliar:

bp-custom.php

Hope that helps!
