BuddyPress.org

Did you try using the meta function?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_user_meta

And you don’t need user_can.
Just request the meta and show if it exists.

I have looked everywhere and tried everything!

If so, what could we do more for you ? You’re asking for help for a page question. Pages are part of WordPress and fortunately, WordPress has a codex, where “page” is a well documented department.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages

Page Templates

Concerning BP pages, that documentation is much shorter, because BP doesn’t use page like WP and when it use a page it is internally only, and only for one of his component, not to allow users to write a page.

Deactivate all plugins before activating BP.
Activate a Twenty theme.
Then activate BP. If your admin remains blank again, remove BP from the server – there may be corrupted files – and upload a fresh copy by FTP.

If still trouble, contact your host and see if you have minimum requirements to install BP (including enough php memory (at least 64 mo)

As apparently you never have to debug your install, read here for more recommendation (to follow if possible).

Hi,

sidebar is part of your theme. The edit.php (members/single/profile/edit.php) template file doesn’t contain a sidebar, but a form. And this form goes into any theme who has a place for “content” (usually it is the main content).

If you don’t want a sidebar on the member page or on the profile, you can add a conditionnal on your (child)theme sidebar.php or around the call to sidebar you can find in almost all your theme files.

The thing to search is get_sidebar which calls the sidebar template.

Note that BP use mostly to “page.php”, so if your theme has such a file, it is where to start. You already know the way to BP’s template doc. More about this on WP codex:

get_sidebar()

Hi,

seems you’re in wp-admin media library when you get that error. The message comes from WordPress. BuddyPress doesn’t use backend editing and doesn’t use edit tools on front-end like “mirror” or “rotate” when he handles pictures.

With BP, a user can handle his avatar picture and the cover header for profile and groups, and all that from front-end.

Where is the image in BuddyPress that you try to edit ?
Please give details, so your issue could evtl. be reproduced.

Hi,

BuddyPress hasn’t a video player. By default, BP use WordPress embeds. Read attentively this document, to understand how embeding videos is working and how READING videos is automatted.

If you want thumbnails in place of the default wrapper, you could use some plugin like this one (untested). And they’re many other on the plugin repo. Only thing you have to take attention with such a plugin, is his compatibility with BP. For ex. wall activities are not exactly blog posts.

If you’re comfortable with CSS, you can even try to modify the existing wrapper size.

Note also that all of these tips have not very much to do with BuddyPress, but with theming.

Crowdmentions will web notify members of a group if a @ keyword is used in the update’s text. However, emails aren’t sent for various reasons.

Thank you for the report. Devs are aware of the problem. You can also participate or follow this on Trac.

Hi and sorry for your issue. Could be a lot of things. From php version to file access rules… Best to do is to verify you have the minimum requirements needed by WP and BP on your host plan and to contact your host support.

This isn’t ideal. Can you open a ticket on Trac explaining the issue?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-spamshield/

You simply use one of the 6 action hook available on the group member template.
The file to check is buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/single/members.php

The hook to use, for example bp_group_members_list_item.

WP hook reference.

The toolbar is part of WordPress, not BuddyPress.
BP offers in his Main Settings to show the Toolbar for logged out users (default: enabled).

Removing WP’s toolbar is a very common task, widely commented and explained over the web and on WP’s codex. Read here.

I am guessing an installer from a web host likely includes some plugins and different themes.
I suggest deactivating or deleting all plugins, and switch to default theme in wordpress before you try to install buddypress. then follow the prompts from there.

Hi

#2, Buddypress Registration Options is doing the job for me.

afaik, bp_friends_prime_mentions_results is called by the Activity component.
So why is it being called by comments on a WP post?

The default avatars are coming from gravatar.com.
You can turn off gravatars – google it.
Or this might help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-local-avatars/

ip geo block plugin best dam thing ever.

shield firewall plugin just to disable xmlrpc or a disable xmlrpc plugin

“good question” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/good-question/) or similar – adds a question that must be answered to finish registering

wp spmashield

limit login attempts

sucuri hardening

audit log and multisite register ips (for the manual dedicated spammers)

this mix seems to make like tough for them – especially the ip geo block stopping several countries from abusing the site..

ymmv

ps

@redsand – good to see you active in bp threads! your plugin is a miracle, especially since akismet changed – one on bp site I did have to fiddle with the settings for forms or something recently – vaguely remember users having trouble sending pms were getting the you cant do that permissions thing until I messed with it a bet.. just like 2 weeks ago.

I would change permalinks, save, then change back and save..

then – make a list of other plugins you are using, and which theme – try with all other plugins disabled.. and the 2014 (or 15 – default) theme.

does it work?

if not delete bp – and get your regular wordpress to work. remove any pages you don’t need – change permalinks.. basically getting a fresh install that works just as wordpress.. change permalinks twice.

then install bp – and run through the process of assigning pages, and all that – and check permalinks twice..

I would be it’s a theme or other plugin causing the conflict at this point.. if your htaccess is fresh anyhow..
