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/
Hello,
I have tried for a month to redirect my buddypress users to my custom activation page upon activation. I do not want them to be sent to the homepage upon activation / first login.
Currently, a user signs up, the “Welcome” email is sent with the activation link, they click the link, are logged into their new account and end up on the homepage.
Is there a way to send them on first login upon activation to my page titled “Activate & Set Up” ??
I have set EVERY setting in wp-admin which asks for “activation page” to my custom “Activate & Set Up” page. I use OneSocial Theme by BuddyBoss which integrates Woocommerce + Buddypress.
I have tried the plugin BP Login Redirect and it only redirects to Profile page.
Again, all wordpress, woocommerce, buddypress settings for activation page point to “Activate & Set Up”
Thank you!!
Hi – is it possible to dress up the default activity stream with a slider or static banner? We’re using WordPress 4.95 on an internal intranet, with BuddyPress 2.9.4.
thanks!
@akswer Friend type is not part of current features. It’s not like regular WordPress Post category. It will need to be extended and need to add one more parameter for friends and add a new option for the user to add specific friend inside their list Like Inner Circle, Friend or Acquaintance. You can request for a feature inside https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report
@bizzibi @cassihl If you are only looking for BP notification only not as email for new topics, you can try
https://github.com/buddydev/bbp-bp-notify-new-topic
For bbPres email notification, you can check
bbPress Notify (No Spam)
@avaiya might be this can help https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-post-from-anywhere/ it will help you to paste shortcode inside page or widgets which will allow your user to post from anywhere.
i use
wordpress vers- 4.9.5
buddypress vers- 2.9.4
@parttimedimes you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/hashbuddy/ it can help to tag activities and comments with related hashtags and you can search activities as well.
Short answer is WordPress has a totally crap email API, and it’s really hard to reliable filter the core WordPress emails. That’s a big part of the reason I wrote a modern email API for BuddyPress, because WordPress itself is doing a bad job.
Let me know if you think this is something we should prioritise. It’s been a while since we’ve improved the email system, and this might be a good reason for another pass.
I am not sure why this might not work. I suspect, too, it is a conflict with some other plugin or theme that affects permalinks or page management, but it’s impossible to tell without actually working through the code and checking your database. Perhaps the theme, as you said you’ve tried disabling all plugins.
If you let me know your versions of WordPress and BuddyPress, and if your site has WordPress multisite enabled or not, or if you’ve customised any BuddyPress options via custom code, I’ll try to test on a similar site next week and just confirm if it actually works. I doubt that’ll help fix your issue, though, unfortunately.
You’ll need to be a reasonably competent developer, familiar with WordPress, to achieve this. There is some documentation at https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp_activity_add-2/ that might help you get started. Good luck!
Hi @jerrysmith212
Thanks for the kind words! BuddyPress does *use* a cron task for only one thing — if Activity component is active and you also have the Akismet plugin enabled, then there’s an integration between the two, and our cron task periodically tidies up old metadata.
We do nothing that I know of that affects WordPress’ cron system, let alone something that might break things.
(To clarify: we use WordPress’ “scheduled cron” API, like all plugins, not actual “Linux cron” jobs).
See above for a list of user capabilities by role:
2) Choose the users that you want to enable (to create groups). Get the list of WP capabilities for each of them from here (or use a role/capability editing plugin):
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
Choose one capability which is only shared by those users that will have the ability to create groups.
No, there is not currently a way to make a group “pending” though that’s will be possible as a result of something I’m working on.
