BP Profile Shortcodes Extra will allow you to create links to the members profile page or any page in that area.

BP Profile Shortcodes Extra

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'ps_bp_doc_search' );
function ps_bp_doc_search( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_search ) {
	$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'bp_doc') );
    }
}

Please paste this function in your child theme’s functions.php. If there is no child theme then can use code snippets plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ to paste this snippet.

Hopefully, this will help you.

Thanks

Hi,

Please take a backup before doing any changes. Users are there by default in WordPress so if you will remove the ultimate member and its extensions then also users will be there. What needs to be managed is if you have any associated data with UM like activities then they certainly will create the issue because BuddyPress has its own activity table and even table for profile field data and all.

I will suggest to set up a staging site first and then test all these things there. Deactivate UM and it’s extensions and then install BuddyPress and check what’s missing there and if there is an extension available in BuddyPress that can do so.

Thanks

Is this normal or should i be landing on the page where you compose a message towards said user like any other website?

No, this is not normal. It’s a bug.

There’s a fix for the next version, but it hasn’t been released yet:

Please use https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/ plugin to add js code and then just write this code:

jQuery('.profile-edit #field_2372').bind('keydown',function (event) {
            var regex = new RegExp("^[0-9.@]+$");
            var key = event.key;
            if (regex.test(key)) {
                event.preventDefault();
                return false;
            }
      });

Thanks

I think instead of all of the mentioned plugins there are not any plugin that can do what you want. I think you can go for WordPress Social Login and can ask devs to include those fields.

Hi,

You can use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-sidebar-widget/. It will provide a widget as well as a shortcode so you can use it either way. Good thing is that it supports captcha.

When I click on “private message” in another users profile I am redirected to my general “messages” page…

Yes that is BP behavior. And I agree that it doesn’t make much sense.
This plugin opens a pop-up instead: BuddyProfileMessageUX Free
