BuddyPress.org

You’d need to build a custom solution because I don’t think there’s anything available, at least for BuddyPress.

Take a look at the WordPress Transients API. That might help.

Did you move WordPress? If so, check out the Moving WordPress article.

There are a few to choose from. I haven’t tried lately myself but these seem to be popular:

• https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/mediapress/
• https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/
• https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-album/

If you’re having problems with Theme My Login, try Customizing the Login Form instead.

Sorry for you, but you have to debug.

Also, activate a default Twenty theme and deactivate all plugins exxcept BP.
WP+BP should work correctly with a Twenty theme before activating any other plugin or custom theme.

If you use some custom code in your theme (or child theme), deactivate it provisory. Same thing if you use bp-custom.php

Search also the forum as they are many related topics for debuging BP.

Hi,

WP’s toolbar is not part of BP, and not part of your theme. This bar belongs to WP.

I suggest that you don’t remove(or deactivate) the whole bar, but only remove any menu item belonging to WP, except the “howdy” menu where BP install his sub-menu items.

To do this, you have to use some custom functions related to wp_admin_bar class.

Use $wp_admin_bar->add_node or $wp_admin_bar->remove_node

…and a little tutorial, in case of!

How to Customize the WordPress ToolBar

You can change the content type of WordPress emails using the wp_mail_content_type filter:

add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', function( $content_type ) {
    $content_type = 'text/html';
    return $content_type;
} );

If you’re talking about this specific instance where a user has registered a site during registration:

Must change BLOG_URL and user-site.url from http to https

Then, I’ve added a fix for this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7508/7508.01.patch

You should use HTTPS throughout your site if you want to force the email to use SSL links.

Or force HTTPS on individual pages like the registration page so activation email links will use SSL.

The other alternative is filtering the email tokens to use HTTPS:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.8.2/src/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php#L3120

If you’re a WordPress developer, hook on to the 'bp_after_send_email_parse_args' filter and do checks against the 'tokens' array key.

For more info on the 'bp_after_X_parse_args' filter, see:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/using-bp_parse_args-to-filter-buddypress-template-loops/

This is not a BuddyPress problem; this is a bbPress problem, which is scheduled to be fixed in bbPress 2.6.

See:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2690

Until then, you can manually apply the following change:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5857

I’ve created a report for this on our bug tracker here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7508

Update – Here’s a fix:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7508/7508.01.patch

This will be added for BP 2.9.

Hi,

if you already have an SSL certificate, you need to add a line of code to wp-config:
define ( 'FORCE_SSL_ADMIN' , true);
and to change the site permalinks: Dashboard > General and to add some redirection rules to your htaccess file.
More details here.

Hi,

you need to install BuddyPress where your WordPress is installed.
Note that BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

If WP is at the site (europsms.com, you install BP there.
If WP is in the sub directory (sms-landing), you install it there.

You could also read the complete install guide if this is unclear.

Getting Started

Is BuddyPress network-activated or not?

If not, this bug exists if BuddyPress is only activated on one site instead of network-wide:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7472

If you are able to, try adding this fix to bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-admin.php:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11520

If you don’t want to modify the lines manually, you can replace the file with this:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/master/src/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-admin.php

Hi, I didn’t have a chance to get back to this, but I remember seeing something on the WP codex about how to add columns to admin screens… if custom code is required then I’d probably do a custom solution rather than use Admin Columns.. so I could then give it back to the community… .. this should be core rather than depending on 3rd party paid component.

I mean in the same way that WordPress shows Posts column linking to Posts in the User screen /wp-admin/users.php I would expect that for sites which are mainly using bbPress and BuddyPress that the equivalent columns Forum posts, Activities, Group membership should be of interest to all..

If you have got anything that will help, please post it!

For example i have the exact same contact form as the register page on the site so if i submit the form post data to site.com/register will it register?

The registration URL is whatever you have set in the WP “Pages” menu. Look for the “Register” page to double-check, but the default is site.com/register.

Did you try POSTing to site.com/register URL? If so, what happens?

Basically how would i register a user from outside the site in code

You can just use wp_insert_user() if you need to register a user into WordPress.

If you want to use BP’s signup function, use bp_core_signup_user().

If you install https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpfront-user-role-editor/ you will find that you have the option to display menu items to logged in users only.

I think this is caused because we attempted to fix the upload button issue with the Microsoft Edge browser, but it affected mobile browsers as a result.

To keep track of this bug, see:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7416

I believe remove_accents(), via sanitize_user(), is converting those characters to ASCII. You could open a ticket for this on Trac?

Thank you, thank you 🙂 I have tried so many ways to point dynamically to a user’s profile in a url for custom links. I am very new to wordpress and buddypress.

wp_trim_words() can do that. See this article
