BuddyPress.org

Theme’s don’t interfere with settings pages I’m afraid, You could try switching to the 2017 theme to test. Could you share a screenshot of the BuddyPress Settings page?, you should have four tabs, Components, Options, Pages and Credits. Do you have those?

We aren’t logged in, so we cannot see or not see, the buttons.

If you created the group – you will not see the button because you are already a member.

Trying logging in as a Subscriber who does not belong to any groups and check for the buttons.

To rule out a theme issue, try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2019 and check for the buttons.

If you are good with html, css and php, you can overload BP themes and make changes.

afaik, you can do the same with bbPress templates for forums, but you should ask on their support forums.

Typically the way to do this would be to overload the members page (buddypress/bp-template/bp-theme/members/members-loop.php) and at your code to display the field excerpt.

First of all, I got the filename wrong, it’s home.php you need to edit.

This should be about the easiest bit of php you can get. But you will need to get ftp access to your site then create a buddypress/members/single directory in your themes/childtheme directory. Then take a copy of the source home.php file.

Home.php creates the basic content for the profile page and if you open it up you will see a section as follows:

		<?php if ( ! bp_nouveau_is_object_nav_in_sidebar() ) : ?>

			<?php bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/parts/item-nav' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

This is what calls the navigation, at the moment it’s the second item being loaded, you want it to be the first, so you just need to move it as follows:

?>
		<?php if ( ! bp_nouveau_is_object_nav_in_sidebar() ) : ?>

			<?php bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/parts/item-nav' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

	<?php bp_nouveau_member_hook( 'before', 'home_content' ); ?>

	<div id="item-header" role="complementary" data-bp-item-id="<?php echo esc_attr( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?>" data-bp-item-component="members" class="users-header single-headers">

		<?php bp_nouveau_member_header_template_part(); ?>

	</div><!-- #item-header -->

	<div class="bp-wrap">

		<div id="item-body" class="item-body">

			<?php bp_nouveau_member_template_part(); ?>

		</div><!-- #item-body -->
	</div><!-- // .bp-wrap -->

	<?php bp_nouveau_member_hook( 'after', 'home_content' ); ?>

Once you’ve done that use ftp to copy your updated file to themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/home.php and test. that should do it.

Did the theme create a number members page or is it using the default BP page? If it’s using the BP page then you could probably overload the members page to remove those items. However the members count is part of the page pagination.

You should be able to do that by overloading plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/profile.php, you can place your modified copy in themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile.php.

You should ask the theme developer to support BP Nouveau

you can add the following to your child themes functions.php file:

add_filter( 'bp_get_group_join_button', 'venutius_restrict_group_join', 10, 2 );

function venutius_restrict_group_join( $button, $group ) {
	global $bp;
	if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) || $group->is_member ) {
		return $button;
	}
	
	$membership_total = count( BP_Groups_Member::get_membership_ids_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );
	
	if ( $membership_total >= 1 ) {
		return false;
	}
	
	return $button;
}

You can see which BP Theme you are using by going to Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options

Have you looked at the BP Nouveau theme (Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options ) this allows you to set up vertical menus in Customizer.

Ok, this works for me, thank you.

But still in single group, in the group header, the group description will be shortened so oddly!
Is there also a way to change that?

I´m using bp nouveau and 2015 theme.

Hi andhi,

Are you able to crop with just BuddyPress loaded and with a default theme such as 2017?

Hi Raakesh, glad it’s working for you, could you let me know which BP Theme you are using and Ill see if I can write some code to restrict joining to only one group?
