BuddyPress.org

I’m not sure if this is still of interest – but BuddyBoss has developed a premium theme Social Marketplace that could probably do what you’re looking for:

Social MarketPlace

Yes, you would also need WordPress (free) and BuddyPress (free) and WooCommerce (free) to get it running. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but I’m currently working on a site using Social Portfolio by BuddyBoss and I must say they did a great job. It can be quite demanding to get everything working, but so far I have no complaints. Cheers!

I don’t have an exact fix but I went into “Emails” from the WordPress Sidebar and edited the email that is sent on a new message sent trigger. I just took out the {{subject}} and {{quot}} tags and then just put a message that they have to login to view the message. hth

Found this on another forum and after some tweaking finally got this to work. This will only work if you force all new and existing non-paying users into one group however without some further tweaking. If a non-paying user tries to click on the “messaging” tab in wordpress it will redirect them to any page you choose. I chose the memberships level page. =D

function bp_disable_messaging() {
	global $bp;
	
	if ( pmpro_hasMembershipLevel('NonPayingLevel') && bp_is_current_component('messages') ) {
		wp_redirect( site_url("/PAGE URL/") );
		exit();
	}
}
add_action('wp','bp_disable_messaging');

Depending on your ability as a coder, you could adapt some code or write it from scratch.

How does someone who does not constantly do coding for a living really get BuddyPress to function?

The primary intended audience for users of the BuddyPress codebase: Site Builders and WordPress Developers.

The widgets and shortcodes you tried ( BuddyPress Sitewide Activity ? ) probably do not include the images because widgets generally output a compressed view and images can take a lot of screen area. It would be relatively simple to tweak such a widget to include activity images.

Deactivate https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/smart-countdown-fx/, activate 2016 theme and give a try

It seems that this plugin throws an error.

You may also deactivate all plugins, but BP and search for an issue by reactivating them one by one.
And if nothing found for plugins, you have to debug the theme.

Have you thought about just using BP Registration Groups?

hi @matt2006,

a partial solution could be https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-auto-group-join/
Total solution: the partial + premium complementary plugin.

Or “do-it-yourself” by adapting auto group join for example.

Hi @vickievik,

the right question here would be how to make my theme compatible with buddypress.

The thing to understand is that BP use dynamic content for its page and that these page are NOT ordinaty WP pages.
For each content, BP fires a so called template-part.
Lets take as example a profile page

The slug is /members/ which exist as “page” on wp’s page list. This wp page has no content and also no model or template. It’s just a “slug” in the wp ecosystem.

When you’re on a profile you have the page(aka /members/) but also many template parts, depending what you’re doing on that profile. Aside the common parts header – content – footer, you’ll find also personnal activity, frineds, groups, mentions, notifications, messages and not the worst, profile settings. All this on the same “page”.

Most theme mistakes are at this point. People try to design the page, instead to work the template parts.

When you design a theme, you usually design something for a page, independantly from any plugin. This structure is used by any Twenty Theme and you can follow them as model, because these themes are bullet proof and systematically used by all wp devs when building (in our case) BuddyPress

BP can be used with almost any existing theme, so far this theme is respecting WP’s coding standarts.

If you have brocken elements, and specially thoose using JS, it could be due to missing ID or class or even more simple, some missing instructions/conditionnals in your theme.

BP’s template parts are designed to fit with a majority of themes. The best to do, at least while creating your first theme, is to use BP “as is” and build your theme around thoose existing parts and not to remove/modifying BP arts to fit your creation.

Hi,

the toolbar belongs to WordPress. How to remove items is explained here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_node
Searching the forum will certainly bring you some more hints too.

I think you are looking for BP Registration options – that provides you with new member moderation.

If you are new to BuddyPress I’m developing a site aimed at helping people get the most out of BuddyPress http://buddyuser.com

use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/

You could try something like this, only it’s not been updated in a while, not tried it myself https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

It doesn’t set up predefined filters which seems like what OP wanted but this works really well for me and includes widget

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/

Responsiveness and AMP are actually sort of unrelated concepts any page/site that can have an AMP’ed version probably should have one (for optimal ranking) and it’s sort of the opposite idea of making a one page fits all situations notion that has made responsiveness a first order requirement in building sites these days (it’s like deja vu all over again).

i believe that WP itself is not fully compatible with AMP yet:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/

(see notes)

so BP compatibility is probably a ways off at this point. Others may know more than me on this subject though. 🙂

Hey @danbp

I just thought I’d jump in here real quick, as I think this will be beneficial to everyone in the thread including @Tranny.

And even if you would be a genius coder creator of an extra super original spam shield, you could be sure to became target #1 of all spammers, because in this case, you would represent the absolute challenger of all code breakers !

We are that “genius coder creator of an extra super original spam shield” that you speak of. 🙂

There is no miraculous plugin or trick to stop them.

Ahh, but there is.

It’s real, and it’s even called WP-SpamShield. LOL…you can’t make this stuff up. 🙂

Check it out on WPorg. It’s been out for about two and a half years, and is forked from another plugin we developed almost a decade ago. It works perfectly and automatically on BuddyPress, bbPress, and pretty much everything else. You can also feel free to check out the plugin documentation here.

…And for the record, we definitely are a huge target of spammers. 🙂

dealing with spammers is a long run work, to not say a never ending work.

True story!
