    The buddyPress toolbar is also the WordPress Toolbar. There is no function in BuddyPress to hide the toolbar completely, however there are a number of general wordpress plugins that will completely hide the toolbar.

    I remember squirrelling around one site to find what had caused this and it turned out to be a front end publishing plugin that had a default setting to hide the toolbar.

    So my first question is this – are you sure it’s BuddyPress causing this? have you deactivated all other plugins and still get the problem with BP loaded?

    I’ve been wandering around in BuddyPress and WordPress.

    I’ve been slowly working out how to get data out of WordPress.

    But I CANNOT figure out how to get data out of Buddypress.

    In this page:

    bp_profile_field_data()

    There is some code that indicates how to get data back.

    But no matter how I do it, I can’t get it to return any data.

    I’m running the code in the middle of a WordPress page using a PHP plugin, rather than trying to create a page from scratch.

    I’ve got it returning WordPress user data fine.

    But getting any actual xProfile field data out is proving…. impossible.

    I’m sure I’m ignorant of something really basic about how it all works…

    Thanks for any help and pointing at relevant webpages.

    I’m trying to set some code that copies the data from a new user across to xProfile fields.

    But I’m wondering when that field creation triggers…

    SO that I can insert the function into the correct location using add_action

    I’m hoping that by the time WordPress gets to the ‘user_register’ function, and the actions being added, that the xProfile fields have been created…??

    @glenndavis007 use following plugin and you will be able to lock BP components and it will display login widgets when some logout member will try to access it.

    I think you should submit this as a feature request in BuddyPress Trac

    I would also like to see this as a feature. I think that it should integrate with messaging, you you can add a bunch of friends into a category and choose to message that category for example. I’d also like to see activity shares to these categories.

    What plugin did you use to add the option to only display a menu item to logged in users? Seems like that is what is not functioning. hiding the activity link by hiding the menu item does not hide the activity page from non logged in users, if they know the url they will still be able to view it, to prevent that you should explore the security options available to you. There a number of privacy plugins for bp with a range of features, is it only the Activity page you want to hide?

    BuddyPress uses the default WordPress login page, there’s a number of customisers for this, for example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-custom-login/

    1) I am setting up BP and for some reason, the Activity stream shows to logged out users. In the Appearance/Menu setting, I added the Activity page from the BP drop-down list to show to logged in users. What did I miss to make the activity stream accessible only to members?

    2) Is there a way to change the login page for members? I’d prefer the default WP login page not show. I’m using Divi by the way… can I use it instead?

    Do you mean the action that triggers the email, they are in the WordPress Action reference I think:

    @galador WordPress login is same as BuddyPress login; you can create a themed login page as well.

    IF you are concern about WordPress.com login options, it might be possible you have enabled it inside Jetpack plugin setting, you can disable from Jetpack option https://jetpack.com/support/sso/

    @yusterlan
    https://myweb.com/members/username/settings/notifications should point you to the login page ( wp-login.php) and redirect to https://myweb.com/members/username/settings/notifications/ after login, the link is correct and seems working fine.

    You can check following threads as well

    So I’m having a really frustrating time getting BuddyPress to show all groups and fields, even if they have no data in them.

    I found this page:

    Profile Fields Loop

    It talks about the bp_group_has_profile() function. And parameters that can be applied. BUT that function is NOT in the example code on that page.

    I tried applying some of that information to

    public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php

    But bp_group_has_profile does not exist in the above file.

    How does this information apply to showing all the fields and Profile Groups?

    When I search for the individual functions (like bp_profile_group_has_fields) in the BuddyPress site, they don’t seem to exist…

    Are these standard functions?

    I’m very confused about how to make this work.

    I also found this page:

    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/243884/how-to-display-profile-fields-with-no-data-in-buddypress-profile-view

    But that involves removing bits, rather than using function calls… Is this the way to do it?

    Thanks for any insight

    Hello Everyone,

    What I am looking to do seems so simple. If there is no solution, I will accept that but I wanted to make one final attempt to seek help on this forum.

    Goal #1 – I want the buddypress “favorite” button in the activity stream to create an update in the “buddypressmain activity stream” when clicked.

    Example: User Just Favorited A Photo (This shows in the member stream but I want it displayed in the main activity)

    Goal #2 – I want the favorite button in wordpress post, which when clicked creates the following activity –
    http:/testsite.com/post-123/#activity-1955
    I would like to create an activity in the main buddypress stream to display favorited post.

    I would like to accomplish this without a plugin. If anyone has info or can direct me to info I am thankful!

    Thanks!

    WordPress 4.9.5 -> BuddyPress 2.9.4 -> Agama Blue Child Theme

    I ended up with the below code from posts in these forums but it doesn’t do quite what I need it to do.
    Users should not be able to see other users’ friends so the Friends tab when viewing another user’s profile page must be removed along with the functionality. Here’s my code:

    function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
    	if ( !is_super_admin() && !bp_is_my_profile() ) {
    		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'friends' );  // This does nothing
    		//bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );  //Or this but this also hides the Friends main menu item, not just the Friends tab in the user's profile page 
    	}
    }
    add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

    I’ve switched between both options in the code. bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'friends' ); doesn’t really do anything and bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' ); does remove the Friends tab from another user’s profile but it also removes it from the main menu which is a different thing. The main menu Friends link points to my own Friends whereas the Friends tab in another user’s profile points to their friends. Any help would be appreciated.

    Chat – BP Better Mesage :replaces the standard message system BuddyPress supports attachments (video including) and smilies, you can also conduct group discussions

    groups, extended profiles, news areas, activity feeds – this is a full-time functional BuddyPress

    polls – bbPress + GD Topic Polls, WP Easy Poll PRO also allows users to create polls

    for photos and albums (in addition to the voiced options), you can also try BuddyDrive

    but in general, you can see a list of plugins in my profile – there are a lot of things for BuddyPress (not all work correctly, but most of it is used on the sites I follow)

    Whenever a new user registers for my site, wordpress asks them for an email. Is there a way to circumvent this? I used buddypress back in 13-14 so I don’t remember if there was a specific feature I used to avoid this. I essentially want my users to be able to use the entire site from the front end and avoid any use of wordpress.

    Thanks @venutius.

    I’m actually using Paid Memberships Pro plugin for my memberships management and they just recently released a BP integration which takes care of the xprofile fields plugin problem as I was told by one of their tech support. It is better installed when you just create your site as they still have to create syncing issues between their fields and regular old xprofile fields for older members – currently this syncing is not available but will be. So as a result I will have to manually move the data over from the members prior to using their integration (about 200 people but it’s doable) . I’m waiting for the code to be installed on my site by their tech support to do this.

    But if anyone is interested, they should check out PMPro for managing bp or other memberships, it really is great and it’s always supported. I am using the Pro version which is expensive per year however you get great tech support and they will go into your site to modify things and help you install various add ons and integrations. This BP integration plugin is available in free version too I believe. If you have a serious memberships site where you do or intent do make money, it’s worth to pay for the yearly fee though for support and access to more add ons.

    I’ve tried other membership plugins and just wasn’t working for me.

    Hopefully the old xprofile fields plugin can be cloned by someone for those who are not going to use PMpro. It’s odd that there are not many options for this plugin and it’s not supported as it’s very essential.

    Here’s PMPro info:

    Paid Memberships Pro

    The integration plugin below, you need the above memberships plugin installed though:

    Hi there,

    I have a plugin called BP Profile Shortcodes Extra. I’ve added a shortcode to provide you with a configurable Private Message link [bpps_profile_private_message_link] you can use the user_id=”” setting to determine a specific user to private message. Let me know what you think.

    When I install Buddypress, which I used in the past and I adore this plugin btw, I try with my new site to select the options ‘Friend Connections’, ‘Private Messaging’, ‘User Groups’ and ‘Site Tracking’ and activate them. It will save and when the page reloads it shows none of these features ever being activated.

    I am currently on chat support with WordPress for the last two hours and they have no idea what is causing this. I tried uninstalling reinstalling, installing the beta version, changing themes, removing any possible conflicting plugins, and selecting them one at a time, I even had every other admin and the site owner try to get it to work for them and it still hasn’t worked.

    What could be going on that is causing this issue? We have the business plan with WordPress so I’m not sure on the server being an issue as I didn’t use WordPress for my server in the past.

    Hi Glenn,

    I’ve never tried Peepso or Social Engine, so I@m not speaking from a point of balance. I have tried other dedicated hosted platforms such as Ning though so I do have some wider experience.

    I think your issues can be boiled down into two areas: Maintenance, and features.

    Any WordPress site, any site for that matter is going to require maintenance the main question is who does that maintenance, how well is it done and how quickly new issues can be resolved.

    With a WordPress/BuddyPress installation I’d say that the level of maintenance that you yourself have to do (or pay for) is going to be higher than with peepso. Much depends on what features your add to the basic installation, in my experience in general WP and BP updates are solid and cause few issues, it’s usually the other plugins that can cause issues (prime eample recently was a SiteOrigin Page Builder update that wrecked my front page and they did not fix it for several months).

    My expectation with Peepso is that what you sacrifice in the way of variety of options available to you I’d hope that in return the options you do get will be reasonably well integrated with each other and less likely to cause conflicts resulting in feature or site loss that you would need to take a hand in resolving. The downside is if you find there are specific feature you need, or issues that are not getting resolved, you have few alternatives to go to, you may find yourself stuck.

    I once had a paid hosted site costing $50 per month which pretty much ground to halt and the provider refused to see the problem. It made me feel pretty helpless and it was the reason I moved to BuddyPress – I figured the money I saved on hosting I could use to fund feature additions to the basic BP setup.

    Anyway getting back to the point, so I reckon peepso will be less maintenance but with less features, and this brings me on to the second point – features.

    I think it would probably be a good idea to map out exactly which features you want in quite some detail and see how that drives your thoughts. For example you say you want video, would this be you hosting the video files or libraries of YouTube style embeds? Would you need group galleries, user galleries, sitewide gallery etc?

    Here’s what I tend to use:

    Chat – IfyChat – free version limited to 10 concurrent users but an excellent chat engine
    Video/photos/audio – Either MediaPress or rtMedia, rtMedia is more stylish but add-ons are quite expensive.
    Groups/xprofiles, activity, friends – BuddyPress.
    News areas – probably more general workpress based solutions for this, are you thinking RSS feeds from other sites or internal news (could be done with a simple News category?).
    Polls – never really looked at polls, I note there is this – https://themekraft.com/new-plugin-buddypress-polls/ for starters, looks interesting but I’ve not tried it.

    Regarding supporting mobile, BP is coming out with a new theme – BP Nouveau, this has options for vertical menus which I think will be a lot more mobile friendly.

    The bulk of being mobile friendly comes down to the theme you are using and whilst most are responsive these days I personally find that having a mobile responsive theme is not good enough for phones, what I do is run a second mobile specific theme and use a theme switcher to detect and switch themes.

    Another point to bear in mind with BP is that there are a great many plugins that help you choose how your site is going to work, there’s a range of plugins that change the may notifications and email subscriptions work. This is a benefit of BP, but it does also increase the plugin count.

    @worksofweb the plugin I have mentioned add notification when someone mark favorite any activities. It’s not for regular WordPress Post.

    You can check this also https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ulike/ it add like button on regular WordPress post and cpt as well.

    Thanks so much for your reply.

    I tried the plug-in and nothing changed for me. I was hoping it was as simple as placing a bit of code into the bp functions file. All I am looking to do is add a notification to the buddypress activity stream when a wordpress post is liked. An activity is created but it only appears under the user’s favorites tab.

    Thanks again for your help!

    @michaellanfield all forums created by groups are also parent forums. That’s why default will list them. You can create your own set of forums with a specific category and display them at Forum index with shortcodes.

    Individual forums in not displaying at your site, it might be theme specific issue, you can cross test with default WordPress theme.
