hi @robcnz,

not tested, but sounds doable

How to Automate Website Screenshots in WordPress

I actually think that’s a WordPress issue, however, I can’t replicate your fault, so it must be a plugin conflict or similar that is causing this.

Just guessing…

Try using the bp_ready hook instead of bp_init.

Try adding the priority to the call:
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_description', 'wp_filter_kses', 1 );

Try adding your attributes to the $allowedtags global.

BuddyPress doesn’t create a database. It only add it’s own tables to the existing WordPress db.

Why are these tables not created ? Impossible to say without more details about your server configuration and more information about how, what and where you tried to install the plugin.

Hi @mthant,

sorry for your menu trouble, but it seems to me, after visiting your site, that you omitted some important settings steps. So let’s try to set up properly your site menu before adding BP related conditionnals.

1) Each active BP component should have his unique page.
2) Site should have pretty permalinks activated (whatever option but default)

For example step 1 indicate that your register page is at /site/register-2. This could be correct, but tells that you created a page called register first, than removed it, and finally recreated a second “register” page. This explains why you have “-2” in the URL and probably a page in the trash. You have to clear it definetly. And you have to ensure that the slug is /register/. Go to dashboard > Pages > Quick edit and correct it.

As BP is active, you should also have a page called by default “members”. His default url should be http://7fc.d70.myftpupload.com/members/.
I assume you renamed it to “directory”. Problemen is that “directory” doesn’t show the member directory, or no message telling visitors they have to log in to see this page…

And as you use a lot of different directories, it is confusing, even for you when you try to build a menu.

But you’re using Salutation, which is a premium theme and i can’t help you further to set it up correctly.
But you could activate a Twenty theme for the time you need to create and test how WP menus are created and displayed. And perhaps read through Salutation documentation too. 😉

Here’s BP guide about the BP menu you can add aside the site main menu.

And here, the access to any menu related codex articles.

If you are a newbie you might like to check out my website – http//:buddyuser.com, it’s aimed at getting newbies up to speed.

Regarding your issue with menus, is this not a more general WordPress/Theme issue? What happens when you replace those BuddyPress Options with other options, do you still get the same behaviour?

thank you for sharing @peterspliid, but it would also be usefull for the devs that you add your fix to this ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7349

so at least it will be taken in consideration.

It’s related to your theme. Test it is the case by activating a Twenty theme. Once you have found that it is indeed this, go to your theme documentation or support and see how to remove the comment template in your-theme/page.php or how to deactivate that if you use a framework or a very customizable theme.

This should normally be done via a child theme.

You’re wrong and it is not a BP question.
If you’re not comfortable with coding, i would at your place use a working plugin instead of trying to customize something i don’t completely understand.

There is a similar one called Compliments (and up to date). Will be easier (perhaps) to adapt or even use as is for your needs ? 😉

There a plugin that does Favourite notifications:

If you install BuddyPress on the main domain you can use the Display Widgets SEO Plus Plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets-seo-plus/ (I’m the developer) to show/hide widgets on specific sections of a site.

Just released version 1.1.0 which includes specific widget logic support for BuddyPress/bbPress, could set the widgets for the BuddyPress parts of the site to NOT load on non-BuddyPress sections, this would stop some ‘bleed through’ of content from BuddyPress to the rest of the site.

That being said, from an SEO perspective (my background is SEO) there are other issues that could leak out to potential Google visitors.

Check this Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=WordPress+Plugin

Note the WordPress Plugin Repository listing (1st result) has six additional indented results (called sitelinks: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/47334?hl=en).

The 6 links for the WordPress Plugin Repository listing are benign, but if there was an adult section of WordPress it could be listed as a sitelink.

From a WordPress perspective there’s also the core WordPress Search functions. The Static Pages that BuddyPress uses for ‘holding’ the BuddyPress specific output can be found via a search. If you have the default BuddyPress setup try using the WordPress Search Form to search for the word “Members”.

This will find your BuddyPress Members Directory Holding Page.

Same result with “Registration”, “Activate” and “Activity”.

It’s difficult to prevent bleed through of different types of WordPress content, so if your client is conservative I’d suggest a sub-domain/other domain to play it safe and manually add interlinking via Text Widgets and Nav Menu Links.

I’m not sure about integrating fb into the activity feed but you can display the FB page activity in a widget with Custom Facebook Feed, also there are a couple of Social Login plugins to allow FB users to log in to your site using their fb credentials.

Have you tried asking on the WordPress forums? the activation email is a feature inherited from their so they might have an idea

Actually I’ve opened an enhancement ticket about this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3025#ticket

I’d still post your question in the bbPress forum, maybe I’m missing something.

This one claims to be able to hide parts of the admin bar

Yes the default operation in BP groups is that you can only invite friends of your BP Profile. You can change this behaviour with Invite Anyone, which gives you the ability to invite your friends to join the site and for you to invite any BP user to the group, not just your friends.

Another plugin that you might like to think about is BP Auto Group Join, with this plugin you can ensure all new site members automatically join a group.

With these two plugins, you can invite your friends to join your site and make sure they all join your group at registration.
