BuddyPress.org

There’s a few plugins that provide shortcodes, take a look at the BP Activity Shortcode and also Shortcodes for BuddyPress in wordpress.org.

@jonleesky I posted the solution to this nearly two years ago, I have not tested this code recently but you can try it out.

function my_disable_bp_registration() {
  remove_action( 'bp_init',    'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
  remove_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup' );
}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'my_disable_bp_registration' );

add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_page', "firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page");
    function firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page($page ){
        return bp_get_root_domain() . '/wp-signup.php'; 
    }

What you will need to do is first create a bp-custom.php file (make sure you add the opening and closing tags at the top and bottom ) and put it in your plugins folder, then paste the code between the PHP opening and closing tags and save.

This should disable BuddyPress registration and let you use WordPress registration as default, hope this helps.

A good example of a WordPress based “Tutor website” is the mgrmusic.com Music Teacher Database.

Using the Geo My WordPress plugin users can search the database for music teachers local to them. The can also filter the teachers dependant on instrument or level, so this achieves two of the aims you mentioned in terms of the “search page”.

As for sign-ups; tutors submit information via a Contact Form 7 plugin form on a Sign-Up page and receive enquiries in a “Community” area of the website where enquiries are send to teachers, enabling them to respond to the students. I am not sure about how this website facilitates payment from either the teachers or students, however, I am sure you could add some type of Paypal payment facilitation that creates the release of a download file upon payment, in the file a student could find a teacher’s contact details. The whole website is ran on WordPress so it is certainly achievable to create a tutor website based only on WordPress achieving the aims that you set up above.

Hope this helps, I would research the plugins and theme options out there.

Hold the presses! I’ve found a plugin that promises to deliver what you need!

Shortcodes for BuddyPress

If you install this one, it seems to have a group list shortcode where you can specify the id of the user that each group will belong to.

For example [groups-listing user_id=1]

I think this should in the least show all the groups you are a member of, WBCOM, the plugin author are also quite active and may add a feature for an admin= option.

You could give Iframely a shot, it should convert any useful link into a rich snippet embedded post.

Is the link one that is supported by embed? my understanding is that only links with supported URL’s will embed, one such link would be https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/

That’s great, thinking about it this should go in your bp-custom.php, then you won’t need to remember to transfer it if you ever change your theme. Or as a rather nifty way of managing code snippets you could use:

Code Snippets

There’s a plugin for that – BP Auto Group Join:

BP Auto Group Join

@dro-i-de aparently this is a feature not a bug. If the user editing the fields has a bp_moderate capability, it is allowed to save empty fields. Your regular users will not.

Found it here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7483#comment:6

I tested and it works as expecteded.

Cheers

Looks like this plugin is just about the last remaining moderation plugin:

WordPress Moderation Plugin

No the comments are WordPress Territory, not BuddyPress, BuddyPress is extremely light in it’s handling of posts and comments and it does not have any moderation, WordPress handles that for comments.

Ok I’m in.

You should change that password now I’ve had access.

I can see what the problem is, your Base Profile field looks to be corrupt. It’s duplicated and does not have the required Name field. I added this field to one of the profile fields and it still did not show up.

So basically your profile field settings are corrupt in your database. As I see it there are two ways forward:
1. Delete wordpress entirely including the Database and start again.
2. Try to recover your Database by manually editing it.

Given it’s a test site and you are not experienced I suggest option 1 is the best way forward.

It would be good to know exactly what happened to get this error, technically it should not happen.

I notice the registration form does not ask for the BuddyPress username, only the WordPress username. have you changed anything from the default to make it this way? That login does not seem to work.

I don’t know of a shortcode for listing out groups. However, you could use the code in buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/groups-loop.php as a starter. The loop is powered by bp_has_groups() which is template loop like the WordPress posts loop. You could add a template to your child theme, like page-group-list.php and copy that groups loop into it and start tinkering. you can read more about the parameters you can pass into bp_has_groups() here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.9/src/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php#L290

I do want to make sure that you know there’s a group directory built by default, right?

Hello, not sure about the timing of a 2.9.4 release. Also unaware of a bug with the number of friends not matching the indicator bubble. If you can verify that there is a bug, please open a trac ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Thanks!

Yes, I’m wondering if it’s getting deleted properly.

Another thing, last time I had something like this I’d hit a limit from my hosting provider, but it was affecting all plugins I was trying to install. Still it’s something to look at since ovbiously WordPress is struggling to create the file.

Take a look at this Trac ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7673

The registration denied email I think is actually a WordPress email that is also used by BuddyPress. There’s a premium plugin that allows you to edit these system emails, but I’ve not been able to find if it allows you to edit the registration denied email, yu’d need to ask the plugin developers. the plugin is All in One Email for WordPress. That might be able to do what you are looking for.

You could filter body_class and add a logged-in and logged-out class. Then style in your child theme’s style.css document. For example:

body.logged-out {
    // Do some blurring 
}
