BuddyPress.org

What I’m doing at the moment is running a mobile specific theme, my main wordpress theme just does not scale down right. By running a theme switcher I’m able to have a mobile specific setup that works a lot better overall.

Regarding mobile devices in particular the button styles used in the current BuddyPress template set is not ideal, I’m hoping this will improve with Nouveau. What I do on the mobile side is I tend to place all the main bp options in the main menu, which with my theme works pretty well.

I think you have to be very careful with what features you offer on mobile, the bbPress forums for example don’t work that well, you can get the basic members pages to work, have chat, basic groups with activity feeds but trying to do much else gets very difficult with mobile.

I think what you are looking for is the ability to place a shortcode on a page, that displays the members header on a page of your choice for any given member id.

There isn’t such a thing, however https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-shortcodes/ comes close in that it allows you to display most of the components of the members header on a page.

BuddyPress Profile shortcodes is a pretty simple plugin, I think it should be possible to combine VapVarun’s contributed code with BP Profile Shortcodes in order to create a shortcode that does something similar to what you are looking for.

If you want to get to know the structure of the BP overload files, could I suggest you try installing https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-template-overloader/ this maps out all of the overload files, it’s pretty daunting the sheer number of files you can modify, but if you look for that one file you can view it’s contents.

Also the link I mentioned but forgot to include about overloading BP is here. https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

One possible way of achieving this could be to implement custom rewrite rules for the URL, I’ve not tried it but here’s a page that describes how it’s done:

How to Create a Virtual Page in WordPress

That’s a WordPress page so you might be wise to ask in the WordPress Forums as well. I don’t knw, hopefully someone will come along who knows?

Have you enabled the wordpress debug and log file? I think that’s where I’d start looking, see if there are any errors shown. I’d also install Debug Bar and Query Monitor.

Query Monitor will allow you to see if the WP query is failing.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-graph-protocol-buddypress-yr/ try this.

Make sure, that you are looking in a correct place for a registered user.
In case of WordPress Multisite – user can be listed in Network admin area, but NOT listed in individual sites Users.

I still think it’s the database that is dishing out the unique keys so it is what’s controlling the user id’s not WordPress itself. BuddyPress just uses the WordPress User Id.

during initial registration, WordPress has yet to create a user_id for the member, so can not save the avatar, only after the user has confirmed their email address will WordPress be able to save the avatar and reference it to that user.

I mean the debug log in WordPress.

There’s a few plugins that provide shortcodes, take a look at the BP Activity Shortcode and also Shortcodes for BuddyPress in wordpress.org.

@jonleesky I posted the solution to this nearly two years ago, I have not tested this code recently but you can try it out.

function my_disable_bp_registration() {
  remove_action( 'bp_init',    'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
  remove_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup' );
}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'my_disable_bp_registration' );

add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_page', "firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page");
    function firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page($page ){
        return bp_get_root_domain() . '/wp-signup.php'; 
    }

What you will need to do is first create a bp-custom.php file (make sure you add the opening and closing tags at the top and bottom ) and put it in your plugins folder, then paste the code between the PHP opening and closing tags and save.

This should disable BuddyPress registration and let you use WordPress registration as default, hope this helps.
