It won’t let me edit the post: I have fields in the WordPress profiles I’d like to be viewable and editable through the buddypress profile page, but the only way I can see is creating new profile fields which I can’t seem to link to the existing WordPress profile fields. Which means I’d have to manually copy date from the profile to the buddypress profile fields.
What am I missing?
I have the same issue with my profile. This is most likely in violation in EU law. All too often, it requires a legal suit to get things fixed.
I get the suspicion this is a dying project given the major issues with it (my installation was broken upon installation on a fresh-new, non-customized wordpress). It’s either in a phase where they lost the developers that were doing the real work or they are working on consulting gigs to sell commercial services for people who offer to pay to have BuddyPress. I’m not sure which is the case.
I’m disappointed. Even for free software, I expect better. Check the logical quality of your work before you submit a release. It’s not that hard. Computers aren’t magic, they are machines that respond to prescribed conditions. There are core utilities in Linux/UN*X that are basically unchanged in 25 years because they got it right early on and stuck with what worked well. Today’s developers lost track of that.
Hello,
I know that I can change a User’s Display Name via WordPress Hooks.
ie this changes a user’s display name to be their user id on registration:
function update_names( $user_id ) {
$data = get_userdata( $user_id );
$username = $data->user_login;
wp_update_user(
array (
'ID' => $user_id,
'display_name' => $username,
)
);
}
add_action( 'user_register', 'update_names' );
I have a XProfile field called “Display Name” (field_id is “1”). What I want to do is:
When a User goes to their Profile Edit page and changes the field, when they click “Save Changes” the system will change ‘display_name’ to the text they entered.
How do I edit the code that fires on profile update?
Thanks
I think you are looking for solutions that work with blog post only, which is a kind of custom work that needs to be done there.
But for reference, you can see this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-activity-comment-notifier/ that works with activity post comments and it notifies all the users if a comment is made.
Thanks
This is a bug. I’m getting this error when I deactivate the activity component from the settings. I have submitted a ticket here
This is not the solution I am looking for. Let me explain what I clearly needs.
I have an existing WordPress website with a few posts. I have installed BuddyPress plugin. Now let’s assume I have two users A and B registered in the website and consider a post with Title “Hello All”
1. User A made a comment on the post “Hello All”
2. User B made a reply comment to the User A’s comment
it is expected to show a notification on User A profile under notification tab on site such us User B replied to your comment. Unfortunately this is not happening on the website. To cross check whether it is a theme issue, I have changed the theme to default themes of WordPress and notification is not yet showing. Please help. Looking forward to an immediate response.
Here is the website URL https://beanstalkminds.com/
Thanks for the reply Shane.
From what I understand this can only work using the multi-site feature? So if I had 2 different installations of WordPress for each website and wanted to have the BuddyPress accounts shared between the two websites – it would not work?
I am not sure if you are creating blog posts or activity. BuddyPress sends notification for these updates https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/notifications/
If it is a blog post then you have to go with this code to get notification https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/263950/new-post-notifications-for-users-buddypress
Please check this link https://gschoppe.com/wordpress/buddypress-auto-pad-avatars/
If this can help, it will be great.
Thanks
Hi,
Please check this link https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/buddypress-links-in-wordpress-menus/
You can easily get BuddyPress menus on your site.
Thanks
Please check this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/.
They are already adding profile fields with select2 js support, mentioned in the features as well.
Thanks
Thank you for your reply @prashantvatsh!
I’ve installed the plugin from the link you provided and it worked as intended.
I then used this code snippet here so that group members automatically subscribe to group forum as they join the group.
I also had to install this plugin here to manage group members e-mail subscriptions. I set the default to “no e-mail messages” for all groups, so if the group members want also to be informed through e-mail about forum messages, they can configure that as they want.
Please advice on the following,
1. I have made a test post in my WordPress website and made a comment.
2. Using another user I have replied to the comment made earlier.
3. Once checking Notifications tab in my profile, it still shows “no notification found”
Tried the same with different theme but it still shows “zero” notification.
Well, wiped the www directory, gave it a clean database, removed the two default plugins and only installed Buddy Press, same error on group acceptance. As far as WordPress/BuddyPress is concerned that should have been a brand new system.
At least now I know it’s likely a system level issue, OR I’m the canary in the coal mine since I’m running new everything and the working hosts haven’t been updated yet.
My “wipe” is just of the www directory. Messing with Nginx and getting PHP working on it isn’t something I want to duplicate unless I have to. Even if I move to some genuine metal I intend to copy my /etc/config directories over to the other system. I’m just going to copy the www directory to somewhere else, delete, and do WordPress and the plugins from scratch. Now that I have a solid idea of what I want and how to get there I should be able to do it more “cleanly” and see if that makes a difference. I must have installed and removed 100 plugins, who knows what kind of mess that left.
I haven’t decided on hosting yet – I may host it from my own cable access at home. I used to do a lot of my own hosting, but modern ISPs tend to make it more difficult. I have a buddy offering me some server space, I don’t know if it will be on a VMWare host (likely knowing him) or if I’m going to get some actual metal in a rack – also likely with him. If he host it I’m getting a minimum 2GB link.
That VVV link you gave me might be just what I need. The “What do you get” section has a list of things that seem to be important, I might just make sure I have them all. Obviously I have some of them, but the ones I don’t might be the difference between “member added” and “page expired”.
You can switch to a WP theme like 2016 or 2017 – iow. ‘safe’.
All plugins should work with a WP theme.
So momentarily switching to a WP theme will provide hints re whether the issue is in your theme or a plugin.
Your issues are too specific to your setup for you to get more then general suggestions here.

Hello, I’m using Buddypress 3.1.0, bbPress 2.5.14, and the Boss theme 2.4.6 to create an online network/forums website. The website is 7ctest2.site and the wordpress version is 4.9.8.
Is it possible to merge the Read and Unread notifications into one page on /members/user/notifications/ ?
How would I go about implementing this?
I’m new to both Buddypress and bbPress and was handed down this website to complete. Any help or idea would be helpful. Thank you!
Hi, in Appearance > Menus You have to enable BuddyPress from screen options and then you can add BuddyPress links to the menu. Please check: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/buddypress-links-in-wordpress-menus/
Thanks
Try saving permalink and check again. If it is still not working please make wp-debug to true, https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG, to see if there is any error.
Thanks
You can try this plugin as well https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-for-buddypress/ and try shortcode
