BuddyPress.org

Hi everyone 😀
I´m having the same issue, but only with the profile and cover images. The rest of the images are uploading fine (PHP its running GD already). The thing is that my site is running WordPress with BuddyPress on Heroku. All the uploaded images go to the s3 amazon bucket, except for the profile image and cover image, which, once they are uploaded, go to the Heroku ephemeral file system, so after a little while they disappear (as this is their policy on free accounts, they restart the “dyno” as they call it, which means the server). The difference you can tell on the permalink generated for every image, for instance, If I upload an image normally from the media library or even from a plugin which let me upload images and media from my BuddyPress profile, they get this kind of permalink: “http://s3-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com/artlikeall1/content/uploads/2018/03/07212557/my-image.jpg”, now when I try to change my cover and profile image from my BuddyPress profile view, the images get uploaded with this kind of permalink: “http://mysite.herokuapp.com/content/uploads/avatars/61/myprofilepic.jpg”, and after a while it disappears.

So please anyone could shed some light on this? it seems that there is no info about running BuddyPress with Heroku. Thanks!!

One option could be to use group hierarchy to nest the city groups within countries. Another option is to take a look at the group types plugins that will allow you to have different categories for groups in effect, you could then add cope to change how WordPress/BuddyPress behaves with those groups.

Hi, it looks like this rule is what’s active when hovering on your registration form, so I suspect it’s what you’ll need to override:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css#L956

“bp_loaded” will also get the job done. You just need to find a hook that’s appropriate. A function needs to be defined before you call it so it’s always worth keeping track of the load order in both WordPress and BuddyPress.

Feel free to edit the documentation if you find an error. BuddyPress welcomes contributions

Hi there-

There’s a known issue with outlook/hotmail emails being rejected:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7697#comment:7

A fix is forthcoming (but there’s no timetable for that update).

Ha, that’s because there was an extra semi-colon. Try this:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
	if ( bp_is_profile() ) {
		$user_meta = get_userdata( bp_displayed_user_id() );

		if ( in_array( 'subscriber', $user_meta->roles ) ) {
			wp_redirect( home_url() );
			exit;
		}
	}
}, 1 );

What I was saying about roles is that WordPress handles roles. BuddyPress doesn’t create or really use them that much.

I think the first thing I would try would be to disable the plugin that is creating the member types and see if that works. You can do that by accessing your wordpress file structure using FTP and then changing the name of the member type plugin directory.

Hi @jonowen2k, Seems like you have enabled jetpack single sign-on and it’s added a login with WordPress.com, you can skip it and login with regular WordPress login page. It’s that’s still confusing you can disable single sign-in from jetpack settings.

Here’s some untested code that should prevent anyone from visiting the profile of a subscriber user. Roles are not a BP construct, so you’ve got to look to WordPress for that info.

add_action( 'wp', function() {
	if ( bp_is_profile() ) {
		$user_meta = get_userdata( bp_displayed_user_id() );

		if ( in_array( 'subscriber', $user_meta->roles; ) ) {
			wp_redirect( home_url() );
			exit;
		}
	}
}, 1 );

Here’s another report of this with a suggested fix: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7704

Maybe you could use friend relationships for this. If the “friend” terminology doesn’t make sense for your use, there is a plugin that creates one-way relationships called “follows” https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-followers/

Hi James, I guess it depends on what a moderator is. (I can only think of Group Mods in BP, not sure what would count as a site-wide moderator.)

The ability to see private messages is controlled by the check bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) which is true for site or network admins.

You could probably filter that value for some other role, like editor, but it would be a bit complicated to make it work only for private messages. Here’s more information about working with the WP capabilities system: http://mannieschumpert.com/blog/wordpress-capabilities-magic-with-map_meta_cap/

If you are asking about bbPress, try the bbPress forum.

If you’re asking about removing the BuddyPress email verification step for new accounts, there are several plugins that do that:

BP Disable Activation Reloaded

BuddyPress Auto Activate Auto Login

There is an issue with hotmail/outlook rejecting activation emails (See the fix here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11862).

Otherwise, the best way to customize your emails is explained here: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/

There’s a known issue with hotmail/outlook addresses that will be addressed in the next minor update. You can see the fix here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11862

That may be your issue. If not, please provide more information.

BP Bulk Delete

Found the bug tracker & reported here

Never mind! I’ve found a fabulous solution that has gotten me out of SQL query hell. Again, if anyone else is trying to sort a Members Directory, here’s what I did:

1) Put it in a table, not a list (I had done this anyway, since I wanted a single-page directory that displayed xprofile fields horizontally) — make sure it has a <th> table header row;
2) Install the plugin Table Sorter https://wordpress.org/plugins/table-sorter/ and add the class “tablesorter” to the table.

Et voilà! I commented out the sort type dropdown in members/index.php starting with
<div class="item-list-tabs" id="subnav" aria-label="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Members directory secondary navigation', 'buddypress' ); ?>" role="navigation">
all the way through

<?php
/**
 * Fires inside the members directory member order options.
 *
 * @since 1.2.0
 */
do_action( 'bp_members_directory_order_options' ); ?>
</select>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

and I made sure that the default single page list showed all users alphabetically by default in members-loop.php

<?php if ( bp_get_current_member_type() ) : ?>
	<p class="current-member-type"><?php bp_current_member_type_message() ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&per_page=500' . '&exclude=1,2,3,4,6' . '&type=alphabetical') ) : ?>

And then all I had to do was add that tablesorter class to the table as required by the tablesorter plugin, and I got a nice dynamic table with sortable columns, which can also be sorted by multiple criteria by holding down the Shift key on the second column. I set the initial sort order with parameters that select the column by number, as described at http://tablesorter.com/docs/example-option-sort-list.html and elsewhere.

<table id="members-list" class="tablesorter {sortlist:[[4,0], [3,0], [2,0], [1,0], [0,0]]}" aria-live="assertive" aria-relevant="all">

Yay.

Hi I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but if you’re looking to get the profile image associated with a group or user, you can use the avatar-fetching function that BP uses in its templates, bp_core_fetch_avatar():
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php#L99

As an example, you might use

bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
			'item_id' => $user_id,
			'type'    => 'thumb',
			'width'   => false,
			'height'  => false,
			'html'    => true,
			'alt'     => sprintf( __( 'Profile picture of %s', 'buddypress' ), 'user name' )
) );
