BuddyPress.org

hi @sherissa_r,
i asked on Slack where @hnla answered that “clearly something is wrong”. I opened a ticket, just in case of.

Now we’ve to wait a little moment the time a dev can investigate this.

Hi,

you’re on the BuddyPress support forum where we can’t help for third party plugins.
If you have questions related to bbPress (if you use this plugin), you have to ask on their support.

For BuddyPress for Sensei plugin or WC Sensei, you can check the doc and/or ask on the plugin support too.

Hi,

by reading the first topic, it sounds like you try to use more than one child theme !

I already have activated my other child theme

If it is the case, it’s not the way to proceed. 😉

1) You should have only one child-theme activated.
2) in this child, you add a folder called buddypress.
3) if you need to modify some BP templates, you copy the original from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ into the child BP folder.

Example of what you should have:
wp-content/themes/XYZ theme
wp-content/themes/XYZ-child/

Let’s say you want to modify BP’s register page.
wp-content/themes/XYZ-child/buddypress/members/register.php
or you want to modify the profile header template
wp-content/themes/XYZ-child/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

And that’s it ! The only thing you have to do is to pick the right file and add it to the child by respecting the original path who starts at: /buddypress/path/to/file.php

Inside the template file, yo can manipulate html tags and find different action hooks ( do_action( 'something' ); ). Take care to not rename or remove the existing class/ID names whithout knowing what you do.

In bp-custom.php, you can manipulate BP’s behave by adding custom functions.

In the child-theme style.css, you manipulate whatever related to your theme layout – for the entire site, including BP or other plugins.

And as all this is done via the child, anything will remain after any update of BuddyPress, your original theme, WordPress or plugins.

Reading actively the forum will bring you other answers, tips and tricks.

Hey, do you mean this ?

Ok, i misunderstood the whole… The initial question was:
what I am trying to link to is
http://localhost/wordpress/community/profile/<displayed_user>/

Try this:

function tab_custom_link_to_page() {

	if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {

		// link to what you want		
		$link = bp_get_root_domain() . '/community/profile/'. bp_get_displayed_user_username();
		echo '<li><a href="'. $link .'">Community</a></li>'; 
	}  
}
add_action( 'bp_member_options_nav', 'tab_custom_link_to_page' );

The only option is to use CSS (in style.css) in your child theme to modify that. Or some plugins, that give ability to apply styles without modifying files (Siteorigin CSS).

#buddypress #register-page label { 
    font-size:120%;
}

No, nothing like that. This can only be achieved within site admin. And by default a group mod is a simple subscriber which has no access to group members administration.

The first option is to promote mods to group admin, and in this case he can from front-end, kick/ban user, promote or remove users and nothing else.

The other option would be to give them a WP role who let them access to group members admin and evtl. using a plugin to block their access to all other admin parts… (ie. user role editor)

In addition, you could also get some dev’s opinion to this…

Hi,
Shane’s answer is related to the BP way to get a user name inside a redirection. wpF use probably a similar method, but certainly also his own function(s) for that. You have to find out how it does. Unfortunately, this plugin doesn’t provide documentation at the moment.

Accordingly to wpForum support, there is still a button to wpforum on each profile. If you have difficulties to tweak the default behave, you have to ask for on their support.

Just in case of, FYI

ImageMagic issue was fixed for WP 4.6 and merged to 4.5

Other related ticket on WP track.

For the second part of your ask there are a couple of mass messaging plugins that allow only certain roles to send messages to everyone.

one does it from the front end, the other from the backend.

We want our groups to have their own personal page that can give information to visitors about Group activities, group description, what are they doing, etc.

Have a look at this Group Home Page

Not at all saying that its an off the shelf solution – just that it can be done.

This isn’t possible by default. You will need to find a plugin or add some custom code to get this done. Try looking here first to see if something is already available:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/buddypress

This can’t be done with BuddyPress by default. You’ll need to find a plugin. Try looking through the Plugin Directory to see if anything is available:

hi,

it’s because you didn’t right.
The translation, or word change, use a msg ID which contains the original string and a msg string, for the new wording.

In your case, you should use

msgid "Site Wide Activity RSS Feed" // the original string
msgstr "Rich Site Summary" // the custom string

Note also to get this to work, you need to compile the po file to mo file.
And if you don’t want to redo that after each BP update, i recommand you use this plugin, so your custom language file remain untouched, while the default language will be updated.

An interesting plugin I just found is https://wordpress.org/plugins/galau-ui-visual-editor/ this allows posts to be edited from the front end, but it does not allow posts to be created, categories to be set or images added from the media library, so has limited use I think, still it’s a nice plugin if all you need people to do is edit the text of their posts without going to the admin screen.

It is wrong as it search for an activity and not site access…

Try this

Clients requiring many things ! Some can be done, some not. It’s to you to explain them that it’s not possible. Or only with a very huge additionnal budget. This argument is mostly the best to opposite to an obtuse “i want this feature”. Diplomacy, diplomacy… 👿

1) You count the number of avatars on the widget ! Or something like this. 😉
2) who’s online refreshes after 5 mn. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3590
3) try with bp_get_user_last_activity()
