@stl314 You can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-articles/ it will allow your members to add blogs.
@normancates You can make a suggestion for it as a feature request at following link https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report
@orero It will suggest using Gravity form user registration add-on, it will give you WordPress user meta and BuddyPress xprofile fields mapping option as well as gravity form fields.
https://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/user-registration/, it will take care of all user and field validation as well.
As a free option, you can check https://wordpress.org/plugins/frontend-registration-contact-form-7/
@datenfresser Try to test if your server can send emails sometimes its disable at the server end, in most of cases server itself create an issue. Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/ to check email sending.
@normancates, BuddyPress has an only primary field as Name, rest are user-defined.
With BuddyPress, you are also allowed to create additional First Name & Last Name fields, and it will need some custom codes like pasted by @krioteh.
You can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp2wp-full-sync/, hopefully, it will help.
@normancates you can check for https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp2wp-full-sync/ plugin, it will allow mapping your xprofile fields with WordPress User Fields.
Over that last while I’ve REALLY been struggling with the disparity between the WP profile info and BP profile info.
PLease, I beg of you, add some functionality to allow two way synchronization with WP profile info and BP profile info.
It’s a limited data set.
It’s incredibly confusing for everyone that the Profile info does not do a two way sync between these two areas.
I have yet to find any tool/plugin that allows two way sync.
But really, this should be built into BP.
I can only assume there is some technical problem that prevents this.
I can see that if you have Buddypress sub sites and they are acting as their own site, with separate information from the other subsites, then how to make that work is an issue.
But yeah. Even if that’s an edge case, it would be SO HELPFUL to be able to have reliable sync.
Cheers,
Norm
That’s awesome.
Why is this not a standard part of Buddypress? (Rhetorical question)
IMO, any fields should be designated (or able to be designated) as linked to the WP profile information.
THis is a CONSTANT source of confusion for me and any users. Because some plugins use the WordPress profile info, and some the Buddypress info.
I get that they probably need to do that. But at least let us synchronise the data.
Including display name options…
Please, BP / WP developers, slam an interface on this and let us keep our data consistent.
Cheers,
Norm
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to create a permanent private circle group for all users. In other words instead of users creating groups, I want to create 1 or more groups for the users permanently and have control over the member type(s) that will be the admin, however I will choose the number of people that will be in that circle it could be 3 to 100 not sure, but I want to control the limit and give the user specific guidelines as to what they can do. Could you direct me as to how I would go about doing this with WordPress?
Hi
I have figure it out where the issue is i have checked this 3 components
PLease see screenshot
https://prnt.sc/j7k2k1
So i can now assign my member page
http://prntscr.com/j7k7uf
So can you please give easy way instrutions or tutorial?
On How can i make this Please!
1.Create Buddypress Community
*Users can create and update profiles, including the use of profile photos. Site administrators can easily set up the parameters of the user profiles.
*Users can befriend one another. The site owner can decide what special abilities friends have with regard to one another.
*Users can send private messages. BuddyBoss comes with a robust private messaging system, similar to that found on Facebook. Users can choose whether or not to receive an email notification when someone sends them a message.
*Users can form and join groups. Groups can be used for a wide range of functions within the website. Administrators can choose to let their users create and join groups of common interest.
*Users can follow activity streams. BuddyPress activity streams provide a quick digest of the recent activity going on within a site or with regard to a particular user.
*Users can create blogs. Capitalizing on the full functionality of WordPress, the most popular blogging platform in the world, BuddyPress gives administrators and users a full-featured online publishing platform.
*Users can participate in forum discussions. BuddyPress is fully integrated with bbPress, a slick forum system.
2. Active Login portal with Facebook or Google login credentials.
3. Active User generated material through BuddyForms or other methods.
Please advice thank you!
BuddyPress does not use WordPress user roles or capabilities. Technically, there is a bp_moderate capability, but we map that to roles that have manage_options capability (by default), or Network Admins, in multisite.
Even so, some parts, including the Profile Fields admin screen in wp-admin, require the manage_options capability.
So, basically, add the bp_moderate capability to all your custom roles, and if that doesn’t work, they’ll need the manage_options role — which, warning, gives them a lot of WordPress admin power as well.
No ways around this at the moment.
Hi,
I’m trying to use Contact Form 7 to register my users in BuddyPress. I’ve tried two
- With a plugin Frontend Registration – Contact Form 7
- Some code
With a plugin Frontend Registration – Contact Form 7
I’m trying to use this forum to register users. I’m using:
- wP 4.9.5
- Contact Form 5.0.1
- Frontend Registration – Contact Form 7
- BuddyPress 2.9.4 (Extended Profiles activated, I need this)
Steps I followed:
- I’ve created my contact form “Register Form” and I’ve activated Registration Settings
- I’ve created my page “Registration” with “Register Form” on it
- At this point “Registration page” works ok (shows “Register Form”)
- Then I go to BuddyPress Settings and in Register Page select “Registration page”
- When I go to “Registration page”, all the content has been overwrite with BuddyPress registration fields
Some code
Source (2014)
I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or simply this code it’s not working anymore.
Any idea about how to do this (with a free option)?
Thank you
@vapvarun
Thank you for your reply.
Can you please elaborate more how the plugin can be used to create the hierarchical network which works on invitation basis? The mentioned plugin contains interesting features – I also need to define ranks (for example “national director” or “regional director” etc).
Are there any other plugins which could be used? Somebody mentioned using this plugin for invitations: https://wordpress.org/plugins/invite-anyone/#description
It would be very helpful if you could send me an example so I can see how this works in praxis.
Thank you!
Go to the Pages menu in WordPress and manually create new pages named “Activity”, “Members”, etc.; then go to Settings>BuddyPress>Pages and select the new pages from the respective drop-down menus. BuddyPress should then push the appropriate content to those pages automatically.
I am having the same problem as the original poster, with roughly the same specs (except I am using WordPress 4.9.5 and a shared hosting provider). I even deleted BuddyPress and installed the new beta 3.0 version, but still no component pages were auto created.
Assuming that there is somehow no solution for BuddyPress failing to auto create component pages, are there shortcodes (and/or other page content) you can share in this thread for manually creating the component pages (Members, Activity Streams, User Groups, Register, Activate)?
Hello BP Community,
I am interested in creating a custom member profile page so I can have the freedom to add each custom field in a specific location within the template. I have created a buddypress folder within my theme with the member’s folder with all the internal files. I know you are probably going to send me to this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/
However, the things is, both index.php and front.php don’t exist in the “single” folder. Does anyone know why these files do not exist, and which one is the correct one to edit to change the profile page?
Also, once I get the above issue figured out, is this a legit example of how to add a custom field in the template? <?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=profession' ); ?>
I am using the latest WordPress, Buddypress, and Avada theme. I have copied the buddypress folder into the Avada Child theme. I am on a shared hosting account with A2hosting.
Thank you,
James
Hi BuddyPress Community,
I have uploaded some test members using Import Users from CSV, but they don’t seem to be showing on the member’s page (http://mobileweb.guru/webdev/crowdwel/members/)…only the admin is showing. You can see that there are, indeed, members in this screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yE5xHuJMi6cc10KfnR8cOHYYgWI8VvOi/view?usp=sharing
I am running the latest version of Buddypress, WordPress, and Avada (with child theme), as the theme. I’m running the site in a subfolder on a shared A2Hosting Account.
Thank you,
James
@twwebbie You will have user data same and after activating BuddyPress, you will also have Profile for all. Ultimate Member saves profile details to user meta, you can export them as CSV data and with CSV you can import them into BuddyPress xprofile fields.
For UM activities, they can not be imported directly into BuddyPress activities, you can check with your developer to create migration script for UM activities.
For BuddyPress WooCommerce integration you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/wc4bp/
Paid membership pro also offer free add-on for it https://wordpress.org/plugins/pmpro-buddypress/
I am really frustrated now.
I have take a look buddypress new version 2.9.4 that has file/folder structure changed.
What I have done is that I replace bp-members and bp-core folders with new versions folder.
I also replaced bp-loader.php and upload class-buddypress.php file to the root of buddypress plugin and then updated wordpress core to the latest version. it worked successfully.
But I don’t want this. I simply want wordpress core update without updating/editing buddypress plugin files/folders.
Please help.
@rhormazar above code had the same purpose to enable it for all members, the same code is also used inside buddyextender plugin https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddyextender/trunk/loader.php
HI
Thank you for your response
My wordpress version is 4.9.5 http://prntscr.com/j65rph
My buddypress version is 2.9.3 http://prntscr.com/j65s36
Our site is not multi site and also the buddypress plugins are not customized.
Please let me know what is you advice.
Thank you!
I didn’t test it right initially. The auto-fill only works when members are friends, and when I tested it I tested it with “@username” which didn’t work.
I then found a plugin that enables it to work for all members and not just friends: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddyextender/
