BuddyPress.org

Mediapress does not work with multisite and when multi blog mode is enabled – even using the updated version. I have tested with Multisite (non subdomain – define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);)

Rtmedia works smoothly without any problem, only thing is that the activity stream entries look ugly due to centrally placed thumbnails in a column.

The p2 theme has a form that can directly add media or albums from user’s wordpress core media but there is no plugin to plug this into buddypress in a responsive theme. Sad!

Hi @mark_cooper

Does the problem still happen if you disable all plugins and use the Twenty Fifteen theme?

@buddies
If after following Hugo’s advice does not resolve your issue then place the below snippet in bp-custom.php

function bphelp_members_page_private_redirect() { 

if ( bp_is_members_component() ) {

	if(!is_user_logged_in()) { 
		bp_core_redirect( get_option('home') . '/register' );
	} 
}
}
add_filter('template_redirect','bphelp_members_page_private_redirect',1);

Good luck!

Not sure how you’re running your checks, where or to what end, but I wouldn’t use is_page() where BP is concerned, but it sort of depends on what exactly your theme is trying to do, BP has template tags such as bp_current_component() & bp_current_action() that can provide very specific checks for screens.

This ticket and the links to a a sister ticket might help in understanding how is_page() is working and the changes effected a while back, of course this doesn’t rule out the possibility there is something else wrong that needs further investigation.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5307

Having said all that is_page() will return true, is_page(‘blah-blah’) will return false if for example your running that on the members directory screen, bp_current_component() will return ‘members’

What templates are you working with, theme compatibility?

Ok, so I thought I was either crazy or missing something simple, but this exact same thing is happening to me.

I ‘promote’ a member to Moderator, their avatar shows up as “Group Mod” – however, they never realize the ability to delete content within that group (except their own, of course).

Interestingly, after this ‘promotion’ their Forum role never changes from ‘participant’ in the WP users page, and their Site role stays at Subscriber. (not sure if that is normal behavior?)

I have deactivated all the other plugins except bbpress and buddypress, and the required theme plugins. I have tried it on two different themes.

If I promote the user to Group Admin, they do realize the delete privileges, but that’s not what I want to do as it includes other group edit functions.

WP 4.1
BP 2.2
bbp 2.54

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

add_filter('wp_mail','my_custom_registration_mail');
function my_custom_registration_mail($email) {
    if (isset ($email['subject']) && substr_count($email['subject'],'Activate Your Account')>0 ) {
    	//email sender name and email
    	if( empty( $email['headers'] ) ){
    	    $email['headers'] = array();
    	    $email['headers'][] = 'from:YourDomain<signups@yourdomain.com>';
    	}
    }
    return ($email);
}

This should do it. Just change ‘yourdomain’ with something proper.
You’ll have to copy this code into bp-custom.php or your theme’s functions.php

To add javascript to any page, you can put it in any of your theme’s javascript files.

To do layout changes you’ll need an understanding of BuddPress Templates Hierarchy and css customizations.

fields assigned with the URL type – they never show up once data is entered.

Must be something in your theme/plugins. It works by default.

text fields – data entered is being displayed with links added to words and phrases, linking to them as members.

Yeah buddypress does it deliberately. The purpose is to show/search all members who have entered same value in any of the fields.
You can disable it by adding following line of code in bp-custom.php or in your theme’s functions.php:
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );

Hi,

The 5 first words in a textarea content are linked by default, as those in any other form items. This is made to let user find others using the same words.

Sounds stupid for a bio or a phone number area, but becames very usefull if you have a custom field City or Hobby.

The good news, is that you can deactivate this, globally or conditionally.

Add this snippet to bp-custom.php or child theme functions.php
This will remove ALL links only.

function bpfr_remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'bpfr_remove_xprofile_links'); 

1. If your theme already has register.php template file, go step 2 directly.
   If not, copy file plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php to themes\your-theme\buddypress\members\register.php
2. Open register.php file and find following code:

   <?php do_action( 'bp_before_registration_submit_buttons' ); ?>
   
   <div class="submit">
   	<input type="submit" name="signup_submit" id="signup_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Complete Sign Up', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
   </div>
   
   <?php do_action( 'bp_after_registration_submit_buttons' ); ?>

   Move this code block to just before the line which says </div><!-- #profile-details-section -->

That should do it.

Until the core devs gets this worked out you can use shanebp ‘s solution here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/only-friendsyou-in-activity-feed-has-solution-been-found/
It works with the latest WP/BP just keep in mind the admin can still see all activity and subscribers can also see the admins activity but subscribers will only see activity of other subcribers that are friends and the admins. Make sure you copy the folder:
your-site\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy to your themes root then go to your-site\wp-content\themes\YOUR-THEME\buddypress\activity\activity-loop.php to make the edit.
Good luck! 🙂

How does the system re-size it to that degree, those aren’t BP defaults – which you can change and which you can also adjust down in size by passing height/width parameters back through the calling avatar functions in templates.

Have you got some custom code at work or a theme that is managing BP avatars ?

BuddyPress is only a plugin you can use with almost any correctly formated theme.

See here how you have to do this:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Your_Sidebar#New_way_of_adding_sidebars

Hi,

ever heard about html and CSS ?
Go to your profile, check the source code of that page and you will see how it’s made.
If you use your browser web developpers tools you can check more indeep.

If you like to learn, you can read the codex about theming.
If all this is already right for you, you can go to bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/and grab the appropriate template file, in occurence member-header.php

Ans to make this work correctly, you have to create a child-theme first.

For much more details, Codex is your friend.

The activity loop is in the template. And the file you can edit doesn’t exist.

In fact it exist, but you have to make a copy of it first, make your modification and add the copied file to your child-theme.

Be warned 😉 : if you modify the original file, the modification will be lost at the next update of BP.

The concerned file is /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php
Inside that file you will see what is explained on the codex page i indicated you previously.

All the other points are also explained on the codex.

Would be better if there was an option in the Admin section

Do you imagine the number of settings which would be necessary to fit all existing and upcoming use cases ? Even our spumoni dudes devs haven’t implemented a pizza oven yet ! 😀

@djpaul If you can integrate p2 theme for buddypress maybe efforts at re-inventing wheels can be spared. p2 has a status box that can post single or multiple images as well create albums (galleries) from the status text area box (which also lets you post blog from front end)

Try opening a ticket on their support forum letting them know of the problem:

Forum – Posting Guidelines & Vanilla Help

Try including a screenshot or anything you can that’ll make it easier for them to investigate, that way there will more likely be a fix made available.

2.1.1

Problem is that i’m using other modules and themes, and i must still setup a BP 2.2 development site version.

@adamt19 this solution worked for me too.

But editing BP plugin files seems a bit extreme, is there a way to change the function from within the theme files?

Thankyou.
