BuddyPress.org

@markleeuw user is getting logout after password change that’s why you are getting 404 error page. Try to debug with the default WordPress theme and only BuddyPress plugin, might be some plugin is creating conflict.

Hi Glenn, welcome aboard.

I’m pretty new to BuddyPress myself, at least on the in-depth side of things but I’ve been a user for a few years now. Just recently started writing plugins. I know what you mean regarding integration, I guess that’s what you get with a private system, less features but better integrated.

I’ve just created a plugin that I hope will take a step in the right direction integration wise. It’s called BP Post Status and it integrates WordPress posts with BP, allowing posts to be shared in groups and to friends. It’s also got a neat group homepage feature. If you intend to give your members the ability to blog it’s worth taking a look at. Still got a few teething problems though, nothing major, just my lack of experience shining through 🙂

@grwebs Your register page seems working fine http://grhs88.glenrocknews.today/register/
If that’s still an issue, make sure you have mapped the pages correctly inside the WordPress Dashboard
Setting >> BuddyPress >> Pages

MY PREVIOUS POST IS MISSING SO I’M REPOSTING AND HOPING THIS ISN’T JUST LAG…

OK I found a more targeted way to fix this. Short answer, I added this code add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', 'stripslashes_deep' );

HOW I added it is kind of important, I think. I’m running a plugin called Code Snippets https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

By creating a snippet with just the code above, it takes care of removing those backslashes from comments on activity before it is displayed on the front end. If you apply the fix with this plugin, you can also select “run on front end” in the snippet editor for efficiency/performance.

If you wanted to fix it in your child theme (I don’t know why you’d only want the fix to be theme dependent, but that’s up to you …) then I believe this code would go into your functions.php (untested):

add_action('plugins_loaded', 'jrevillini_buddypress_get_activty_content_body_stripslashes' );
function jrevillini_buddypress_get_activty_content_body_stripslashes () {
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', 'stripslashes_deep' );
}

Now I know that stripslashes is already applied to bp_get_activity_content_body by buddypress itself because I found it listed in this document, line 00079: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2NrrKAXLm0JQ01GT1ZGQlVOMkE/view (so my code *seems* redundant)

The only thing I can assume at this point is that the code built into buddypress to attach the filter is running too early for all output possibilities at priority 5. By simply adding it into a code snippet which is running as a plugin at the default priority, it seems to do the job before output on the member activity endpoint.

It should be noted that even without my fix, the same activity post will appear fine at some endpoints and not others.
The ones that I found that already worked:
* within a discussion e.g. /members/NAME/activity/73/#acomment-74
* on /member/NAME *as a reply* but *not* as an activity post

@kriskl You can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/inactive-user-deleter/
Make sure you have created a full database backup before trying the plugin

@axcelluloid You can filter inside BuddyPress Strings, it’s not inside BuddyPress codes
You can also search via Find in folder approach for BuddyPress plugin
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/stable/en-gb/default

By Default, BuddyPress only need account activation via email to start using the site.
“Please upload your profile photo to start using this site.” must be coming from your theme or any 3rd party code.

@axcelluloid Please try to debug at your site using default WordPress theme and keeping BuddyPress plugin only at your site. Inside your site, it must be some custom code or 3rd party plugin which is adding those warnings.

@jgflores
As per my understanding

— BuddyPress does not save any data related to IP address inside cookies.
— All the profile fields which you have created for your users are kept inside your WordPress database only, not linked to any 3rd party application. If you are using Akismet plugin for spam protection for BuddyPress, they will check logged in member IP address to cross check with their spammer’s database log, again that’s not the BuddyPress thing.

@cartessius it will be a combination of the plugins, using BuddyPress cusotmization to build up relation will need lots of customization, but MLM plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/affiliate-mlm-party-plan/

Binary MLM

will create a relation between the user and can display theme tree structure.

For BuddyPress, they will be an independent member with their social profile and you can easily display their parent or children user info at their profile easily via minor code edits.

For Assigning them rank, you can use any gamification plugin like mycred, badgeos and you can also automate these rank based on their activities.

@stl314 You can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-articles/ it will allow your members to add blogs.

@normancates You can make a suggestion for it as a feature request at following link https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report

@jayell12 you can copy those files from BuddyPress template folder inside the child theme at the same path
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/trunk/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/

Profile header will be loaded using https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/trunk/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php file

@orero It will suggest using Gravity form user registration add-on, it will give you WordPress user meta and BuddyPress xprofile fields mapping option as well as gravity form fields.
https://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/user-registration/, it will take care of all user and field validation as well.

As a free option, you can check https://wordpress.org/plugins/frontend-registration-contact-form-7/

@datenfresser Try to test if your server can send emails sometimes its disable at the server end, in most of cases server itself create an issue. Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/ to check email sending.

@stl314 you can also try https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpforo/

@normancates, BuddyPress has an only primary field as Name, rest are user-defined.
With BuddyPress, you are also allowed to create additional First Name & Last Name fields, and it will need some custom codes like pasted by @krioteh.

You can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp2wp-full-sync/, hopefully, it will help.

@normancates you can check for https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp2wp-full-sync/ plugin, it will allow mapping your xprofile fields with WordPress User Fields.

That’s awesome.

Why is this not a standard part of Buddypress? (Rhetorical question)

IMO, any fields should be designated (or able to be designated) as linked to the WP profile information.

THis is a CONSTANT source of confusion for me and any users. Because some plugins use the WordPress profile info, and some the Buddypress info.

I get that they probably need to do that. But at least let us synchronise the data.

Including display name options…

Please, BP / WP developers, slam an interface on this and let us keep our data consistent.

Cheers,
Norm

BuddyPress does not use WordPress user roles or capabilities. Technically, there is a bp_moderate capability, but we map that to roles that have manage_options capability (by default), or Network Admins, in multisite.

Even so, some parts, including the Profile Fields admin screen in wp-admin, require the manage_options capability.

So, basically, add the bp_moderate capability to all your custom roles, and if that doesn’t work, they’ll need the manage_options role — which, warning, gives them a lot of WordPress admin power as well.

No ways around this at the moment.
