Hmmmmm, well it simply sounds like the rows and columns might not be lining up exactly. Not sure.
I have worked out many city meta data files the same way for the purpose of importing into WordPress and faced similar issues, it almost always came down to some columns or rows not exactly the same or something like that. I would do an export of your wordpress first and compare the files, if that didn’t get me any closer i might go into php-myadmin in my cpanel and export a copy of the database portion that has all of your users info and compare that to your .net export. I think that table is going to be one of the following : Either “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” or “wp_users”. Maybe if you compare those with your .net export and work them the same in excel it will be easier?
Not really sure without seeing the files your working with.
I will do a tutorial on that within the next day or so, lol.
I’ve managed to export the contacts list from the old intranet (made in .net) in an excel workbook, with that, i created each column matching the fields from wordpress and also my custom fields for buddypress as well.
So far i can import the users with no problem, the issue is, is that in the old intranet they had a “birthday widget” showing the co-workers who are celebrating in the current month. I also added a “Birthday Date” column, but when i type the date, the Import Plugin does not take the data in.
One thing i tried is to create the user in wordpress dashboard, type in all the fields from the user, including the birthday date and export it to a csv file, it did show the date in the column, so i copied the same format as it came from the file, and import it, but it does not import. I’ve tried different date formats but none of those worked out
YYYY-D-M
YYYY-D-M HH:MM:SS
M-D-YYYY HH:MM:SS
Any ideas?
Thanks for the reply leog371
What are you exporting this csv out of? Is it from another WordPress or BuddyPress Site? If so, do you have all fields in your new intrasite setup like you did in the last one? If this is from some other social networking script, do all your data columns and things match up?
@deimz Thank you for submitting the documentation which were attached in this codex page. As @hnla mentioned, your gravatar was included in the BP Codex props/gallery for 2017 at https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2018/01/09/bp-codex-summary-for-2017/

@hdcms You can try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddyextender/ it will help to disable WYSIWYG editor from text area field
Hello guys,
I’m new to wordpress themes customization so I’d like some help with a few questions.
I’ve been running a buddypress community for some months now but I couldn’t find out these things:
1) How do I remove items from the menu bar that’s below the user profile header? I tried via the usual Menu customization option in WP dashboard but couldn’t find it.
2) How do I add a link to a custom page to that same menu and make it open within the same template, that is, showing the header and menu bar on the top of the content I created?

Hi,
I miss the value of the user_id (the function works correctly if I put $ user_id = 100) at the time of the connection of the member? Does that change something with wordpress? I test this function
add_action('wp_login', 'prov_transfert', 99);
function prov_transfert( $user_login, $user ) {
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id() ;
do_action( 'arm', 2, $user_id);
}
}
Post Formats is a WordPress theme feature. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats. Try asking your question at https://wordpress.org/support/
I tried BP Reactions after activating it, it does not show up
You could try opening an issue on the plugin’s forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-reactions
As alternative @saz25, you can also take a look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/ It will work with almost all theme and easy to customize.
I completely Disagree! BuddyPress has served me well in over 250 projects. I only use 3 plugins on average and never use any pre-made themes. I have developed over 250 perfectly working and extremely customized communities and learning websites as well as intranet sites using BuddyPress and have never had any issues with it. I have never had any issues making it do just exactly what I want to to do “Well, there maybe one or 2 items I would change”.
Anyways, my point is, if you know how to work with WP’s flavor of messed up PHP, if you know how to use the codex, the extensive list of attributes and hooks, actions and filters that are listed all over the web, BuddyPress is a pretty puppy that can pretty much act, do or become anything you want without all the plugins.
As far as the help goes around here, Well, yes, It has a lot to be desired. When you post a question, you must realize that not everyone here can help. A lot of the members here are looking for help themselves. The guys who can help are often times bogged down trying to help others and along with having work of their own to complete for their jobs at the same time. So yes, the help here is sparse but no one ever said that this was the help desk or the help line. Its just a forum for people to ask questions and get replies from other members and sometime staff that will help out someone when we can.
And Finally……
Wordpress and BuddyPress are basically developers platforms. It just so happens that its simple enough that basically anyone who has a desire to learn or are at least brave enough to look into some files can make changes and even figure out how to make a theme if they want. No one ever said it was easy for everyone which is why a lot of people pay other people to do the work for them. If you fall into this category, please just pay someone to do the work and stop whining about not getting help because you dont know what your doing.
Hi @seanbees you can try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-direct-menus/
You can also watch https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDheDU1sSZ get familiar with its usages. The purpose of the tutorial is to add a class to BP menus, but it will also be helpful for how to use this plugin.
Hi @seanbees
You can find BuddyPress specific links with menu section, Click on “Screen Options” to open up the panel at the top of the screen and check the “BuddyPress” option under the “Show On Screen” section.

@knight287 there are a couple of plugins you can use them to get your server info like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-serverinfo/ It will help to find if GD lib is installed on your server or not. You can also consult with your hosting support.
@ranajoyc BuddyPress expend the WordPress functionality, it uses the same user tables which are created by regular WordPress installations. WordPress users will always be part of your BuddyPress community.
Hi Will,
Sorry for the post-hijack but I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem that you’ve eluded to;
Are you saying that s2Member will allow users to register using BuddyPress, to join a buddypress group (using https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/) AND a corresponding mailchimp group, all within the same registration process?
If so then I’d like to kiss you – I’ve been looking for a solution to this for months.
Chris.
To clarify: I do not want to overload my current WordPress theme anymore. I just want to use the standard BuddyPress template located in the plugin directory. All natively!
If I delete the folders “/community” or “/members” for example in my WordPress theme directory or delete the functions of BuddyPress in my theme’s functions.php, the website crashes unfortunately.
Thanks!
I truly do thank-you for all of this! It’s pointing me in the right direction for what I want to accomplish. I feel like I just need a better understanding of the infrastructure of WordPress, and how BuddyPress works together with it. And you are right, there are endless amounts of options!I’m just stuck on how i would customize the X theme to how i would want it. I would rather do all of this in the beginning by myself, and hire a developer if need be down the road.
– If the plugin conflicts with the theme how would one go about fixing that?
– How would I begin to customize the CSS of the activity streams for users? Where would most of this customizing be taking place? In other words, how would I add the custom CSS to the site?
These would be huge for me to know
So you want a link to logged in users profiles, clarify where this link should be…in the header?
You should make a child-theme and add some code to a new header.php.
<li><a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain(); ?>" class="profilelink" title="My Profile">Profile</a></li>
You must place this code just before the </nav> code, or at any spot in the header you wish.
Thisprobably means you need to learn how to make a child-theme in wordpress first, very important.
You mean in the public_html/bellmoore/wp-content/plugins/buddypress directory?
“bellmoore” refers to my top level folder for my wordpress instance.
thanks a million.
Steve

In BuddyPress there is a built-in mechanism for synchronizing profile fields from WordPress.
By default, it synchronizes only the “display_name” field, which is not always sufficient.
Here is an example of the code by which you can synchronize any available fields in the WordPress field with the Buddypress fields
function xprofile_sync_bp_profile2( &$errors, $update, &$user ) {
// Bail if profile syncing is disabled.
if ( bp_disable_profile_sync() || ! $update || $errors->get_error_codes() ) {
return;
}
// Querying data from a table "usermeta", first we get the value of the custom field "address" and substitute this value for the "Address" field of the xprofile BuddyPress
$address = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'address', 'true' );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Address', $user->ID, $address );
//Similarly with other fields
$firstname = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'first_name', 'true' );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Name', $user->ID, $firstname );
$lastname = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'last_name', 'true' );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Lastname', $user->ID, $lastname );
$description = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'description', 'true' );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Bio', $user->ID, $description );
// Querying data from a table "user"
xprofile_set_field_data( 'E-mail', $user->ID, $user->user_email );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Site', $user->ID, $user->user_url );
}
add_action( 'user_profile_update_errors', 'xprofile_sync_bp_profile2', 10, 3 );
Unfortunately, the fields are synchronized only when the profile is updated. I do not know how to start mass synchronization 🙁
I hope someone will find this information useful.
none of the links are working
