BuddyPress.org

Hello.
I am also looking to link the author’s box to the BB profile page instead of the standard authors page.
I am using buddyboss and the buddyboss child theme.
I wish i was more proficient at coding, but i am not, so I need advice on how to do this please.

How would I create the function that will link to the BB profile page?

// Change Post’s Author URL to Buddypress Profile URL
add_filter(‘generate_post_author_output’,’generate_post_author_output_buddyprss_url’);

function generate_post_author_output_buddyprss_url( $post_author_profile_link ){
$post_author_profile_link = sprintf( ‘ <span class=”byline”>%1$s</span>’,
sprintf( ‘<span class=”author vcard” itemtype=”http://schema.org/Person&#8221; itemscope=”itemscope” itemprop=”author”>%1$s <span class=”author-name” itemprop=”name”>%4$s</span></span>’,
__( ‘by’,’generatepress’),
esc_url( bp_core_get_user_domain( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ) ),
esc_attr( sprintf( __( ‘Know more about %s’, ‘generatepress’ ), get_the_author() ) ),
esc_html( get_the_author() )
)
) ;
return $post_author_profile_link;

}

Hi, This looks like a theme issue, have you tried one of the default themes such as twenty twenty to see if the additional fields still appear or the registration button is there.

@tom1916 check once with your theme support or try with default theme to replicate the issue.

Hi Samikip!

Just came across your post searching in Google for a similar issue, although I am still in the previous step. I wonder if you found a solution for your issue, since I can´t see any replies in this forum.

I created a site for a customer with a buddypress install and a membership plugin. After done, they requested to create an intranet (which we did in a subdomain) using Woffice (an intranet theme that comes with a personalized in style BuddyPress). The intranet was to be offered say to “PREMIUM” members.

The “problem” we are facing now, is that when users register in the corporate site (which they do via the membership registration form, which has an extension and creates their buddypress profile) they need to be registered again in the Intranet and create a new profile.

What we are doing for now to solve this, we are only using the intranet Buddypress to avoid duplications (unconnected profiles).

Could you please show some light on how to connect both databases? When creating the subdomain for the intranet we set it up to share databases (just changing the prefix) but we are pretty lost on how to proceed at this point.

Thanks a lot for any help!

@krward626 it’s theme-specific CSS adjustment, you can use custom CSS to adjust the width

@jborghoff adding additional content to BP pages, you might have to work on template override inside child theme

Hi, as you state this is a premium theme that incorporates two plugins you will need to contact the theme author for support relating to their integration or test with a standard theme such as twenty twenty.
https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-ons/buddypress-integration/ has information on the settings you will need for overriding BP registration pages.

BuddyX looks interesting, why is it not on the WP site? For the free version, how do I keep the theme up to date, is it automatic or do I have to download latest from your website?

Thanks!

That’s not the same as a BP profile field. They are two separate beasts.
You need to find the code, perhaps in your theme, that is adding that field on profiles.

> How could I place a BuddyPress profile field on the profile start page
You need to edit the home template for profiles.
And it sounds like that is already being done by some code on your site.
Find it and you should know how to change it to show a BP profile field for bio.

@werny notify your theme support they should update it in their coming updates.

@werny might be your theme is still using the old function to override cover image size or setting default cover image.
