Great plugin; but the online status only display on the blog site

Thanks! As I mentioned it’s a WordPress plugin so you will need to adapt it for use with BuddyPress. It shouldn’t be too difficult to do because BuddyPress members and WordPress users are the same.

HI,

BP use the same pagination system as WordPress. Here a tutorial to get this to work for WP

And here a list of “pagination” related functions:

@adjunkten – The defer%20onload is a sign that you might be using a plugin to do something to all WordPress javascript enqueued files.

Because if you remove the defer line, the JS file is valid:

Are you using such a plugin? If so, disable it and see if that fixes your problem.

Hi @swiftblack

Take a look at my plugin Here: https://github.com/henrywright/here

I use the WordPress Transients API to output a user’s online status. You could easily adapt it for use with BuddyPress.

One of the features of WPFront User Role Editor is that it allows you to set whether menu items are visible to logged in users or not.

@wasanajones Thank you for the report 🙂 We will be removing that information from our readme.txt https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7328

The look of your pages including the profile will be determined in large part by the theme you are using. Not sure if the image you referenced is the default buddypress theme with modifications or another WordPress theme. Pretty much any well designed WordPress theme should work but those made compatible with BP work best. You may want to try searching the WP theme directory with Buddypress as a keyword. There are also premium themes designed for BP which create their own look and feel for your site.
Hope that helps

For upload Media install: rtMedia plugin.

Yes this has been identified, a fix is going to be released today, in the meantime you will need to downgrade to 2.7. To do this you will need to download 2.7 from the “Developers” section of https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/developers/, Delete BuddyPress 2.7.1 and then upload 2.7

Try WP Better Email

One more thought aloud: I see in WordPress core code that this text also displays when nonce check (security) fails. See wp_nonce_ays() if you are interested. This function is used in check_admin_referer() which is used everywhere in BuddyPress. That’s the only hint that I can give you right now. Try investigate in this direction further. In general – this is something with your site/server and not BuddyPress itself.

To cleanup – you will need to reinstall everything from scratch (I mean create a new database and use it). Those plugins do not provide cleanup on uninstall functionality.

You don’t need a BuddyPress theme, any WordPress theme will work just fine.
You can create a child theme for your current theme and modify BuddyPress behaviour through it. Copy /plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ to your theme (in root).

Remove everything that you don’t need, and leave only /your-theme/buddypress/members/single directory. In that dir you should work with home.php files and others, that are relevant to you.

But now I see that redefining BuddyPress template only won’t work as expected. You also need to create page-members.php file, where members – is the slug of you Members Directory page. It should be modified with

if ( bp_is_user() ) {
    get_header('slim');
} else {
    get_header();
}

and same for get_footer('slim') instead of the default usage. You will need to create header-slim.php and footer-slim.php files as well, and THERE you should remove all your navigation and all markup you don’t want that pages to have.

So yeah, quite a work, but doable once you dive into that. Hopefully I gave you the direction and general idea.

This might be because the emails are coming out with a WordPress email address, you could try using something like CB Change Mail Sender to change the address to one specific to your site maybe?

The best way – to allow access to specific pages for logged in users only. As GoogleBot is logged out – it will lose access and eventually remove indexed content. You can remove manually from Google Web Developer Console for this site as well.
There are quite a lot of topics like these here on the forum. Just google it.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/
etc

You can’t do that in PHP. Well, actually you can – but you will break all the styling, as you will filter our header/footer.php files include. So basically it’s not a good idea.

The best idea – to use a child theme. You can than even switch to that child theme for specific pages on your site. One of the ways to do that: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-different-themes-for-pages/

Another idea – do some magic with BuddyPress templates. It’s totally possible, but you will quite heavily modify them (that will complicate future maintainability).

Also it would be easier to help you if you provided a URL to your site.

Make sure, that you have “Anyone can register” checkbox in Settings checked,
AND
on this page /wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-page-settings “Register” component assigned to a WordPress page like this: http://take.ms/vYrhb

Check documentation
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Once child is activated, as soon as you click on appearence > editor it is the child style.css file which is showed.

Closing this topic as it subject is not related to BuddyPess.

You could try this plugin, it replaces the profile page send message for with an Ajax form

This is outside scope of BuddyPress support as the login system is core WordPress. You may get better answers in the WordPress forums.

– you can add a condition for logged-in user on the directory template.
– for the menu itself, and specially if it is a wordpress menu like primary, you need to write a function. Here another tutorial for this. It’s similar to the other i’ve mentionned previously, but with more examples (including positionning and conditionnals).

wp_nav_menu()

wp_get_nav_menus()

And you can also open an enhancement ticket if you estimate this should be part of BuddyPress and not only WordPress.

@tranny,

dealing with spammers is a long run work, to not say a never ending work. There is no miraculous plugin or trick to stop them.
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 !

Back to real life.

Most of updates spam comes directly into the DB. Bots are clever and don’t need to login to do that.
Some spammers are real people, and once they are logged, they do their stuff manually. These people can be isolated, but to do this, you have to find them in the user list. Which is absolutely not easy and time comsumting. And of course, this is not prevention but intervention, after you where spammed.

You could also track IP‘s, but again, this can be helpfull only AFTER you where spammed. But getting ip’s on admin user list is a great way to gain time. Once you have the IP, you can consult many anti spam sites who store any bot and user known to be attackers. And eventually ban them with this plugin.

For now, first thing to do is to clean your user list. Whatever suspect username, like a589xdf or special to BP, Bill UNERHOOD, can be eliminated. The first example use alpha-numeric digits, the second a very well formed first and last name. It’s extremely rare that normal users enter such credentials. In addition to this, you can check their email. Why would you, for example, have members with a polish email (@blogmedykamenty.pl) if you’re in New Zeeland and your site relates about pets ? In this case, you can raisonably doubt about an interest between medicaments and pets ! You can fire such user.

All this may be good and well, but you have also to hardening WP. This means using another table prefix as wp_ at very first. And second, to not use “admin” as user name. Never !

You have to clean out the existing spammers, unfortunately manually. And to avoid upcoming spam.

To calm down the bots – in case you receive dozen of spam daily, close all comments and deactivate notices and messages component in bp settings for 2 or 3 weeks.

Also, in case you’re on a dedicated server, you really need to enforce his security. But this is out of the scope of this forum.

I tested by switching my WordPress locale to da_DK and the dynamic timestamp is loading da.js correctly.

@adjunkten – If you want to help debug, can you add the following line:

var_dump( $locale );

after lines 31 and 42 of this file?
