BuddyPress.org

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:

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()

Also wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-members\classes\class-bp-core-whos-online-widget.php

If I leave the registration and activation pages blank I get a warning all the time in the backend.

The warning won’t cause harm but I agree you should be able to dismiss it. You could open a ticket on Trac for the core developers to take a look at?

I have no real idea for this. You have to code that as nothing ready to use exist. Similar question here.
Note also that BP pages are dynamic, so what ever you can built won’t, imo never, be exact.

Ie. user A is on a profile activity and another is on members directory. What would you get ? At best, only the /members/ page… that is a bit vague, no ? And who cares, outside evtl. you ?

Note also that the nav history is browser territory, and that each client has different settings, even deactivated history, so you can’t really trust user’s history…

My recommandation would be: don’t loose your time trying to do this. BP let members know about there activities, focus on this and encourage it, instead of tracking there navigation. 😉

Hi @dphelun,

– 1) no idea ! It depends of what you know about WP and BP, coding and templating
– 2) see 1…
– 3) in theorie yes. In real life… check the forum… and point 1.

Don’t buy a theme before you tested your project with all plugins and fonctionalities correctly working on a WP+BP default install. Use one of WP’s default theme, ie. Twenty Sixteen or Fifteen. Or even all coming with WP

This tests should be done on a test site (locally or online, but not on a production site)
Default install, because it’s the only waranty for you and the project to work properly in a respecfull environment of WP standarts. Once ok you can jump to a premium theme if you estimate it is worth. That said many free themes are just ideal too.
I would just warn you to avoid frameworks and page builders- specially because BP doesn’t use WP pages like WP does. Focus on the theme itself, and not on plethoric theme functionnalities. Theme is for layout. Plugin is for functionnality.

About Themes
you will find a lot of themes on the net. Most with nice pictures and impressive list of functionnalities and prices. Problem is that this marketing arguments rarely fit with a project. And if you’re unable to customize it, you go towards weird issues and will be lost in no time.

About plugins
Like for themes and of course your technical level.

From what you tell, i would consider WP Job Manager and his (premium) add-on for BuddyPress.
Messaging is included in BuddyPress, even if it is not exactly meant as instant messaging.

But test the message component first as is before going further. And keep in mind that less is more.

Hi,

you are on the BuddyPress support.
bbpress questions should be asked on bbpress support.
And as you use Loco Translate plugin, and apparently have an issue with it, you have to ask on the LT plugin support.

To get more about chinese translation, help and much more, please read the Polyglots blog.

Hi,

all you have to do is to use a custom translation for BuddyPress !
This can be done with help of this plugin.

Actually, WP uploads automatically all available translation for itself and any of his dependencies: themes and plugins(when exist) accordingly to the site language. Ie. brazilian portugue (pt_BR.mo)

In your case, while using the plugin, WP will remain in portuguese and as you will use buddypress-en_US.mo or buddypress_en_GB.mo as custom translation, anything related to BP will be in english.

Of course, this behave will always be used even AFTER an update of WP or BP and both updated to portuguese.

The avantage of the plugin is that you haven’t to struggle with complicated domain settings and hacks, because he does it for you by using a different path for any custom translation (in your case, BP’s english version). The file is stored in /uploads/wpt-custom-mo-file/buddypress-what_EVER.mo

You simply need to remember to download manually the english BP version.
Translation files can be downloaded here.

Hope to be clear. 😉

Hi,
never heard of this kind of functionnality for BP. Do you mean a way to show WHERE the actual user is on the site ?
Sounds like tracking or user history. But such information is mostly used by site admins only and is handled on back-end, not on front-end.
Anyway, if you want more details about the few plugins doing that, here’s an overview. It may exist other resource about this. Google is your friend !

As it is working, you can’t expect a fix. 😉 (see #6112) If you think you have found a bug, open a ticket and give any details to recreate the issue: theme name, used plugins, php version.

Have you tried to create an error ? When you’re sure that a notice should appear, and you don’t see it, check first the source of the page (right clik – page source). Sometimes you’ll find it in the code but something avoid it to appear on the screen.

Hi,

the wall plugin wasn’t updated since over 2 years. But try first to ask on it’s support or to contact his author and ask for update.

Accordingly to this topic, there was a button problem beacause of an outdated JS code. Poster gives some hints to resolve it. But to go through you need to code and know what you do.

You should be able to log in to the WordPress admin area > Users > Profile Fields and then drag the Account Profile fields to the Account Details group.

@renix,

the first solution would be to use a group blog, but it may be a heavy project. So, IMHO, best way would be to create a plugin and using Group Extension API.

You can also check for an eventual existing plugin who fit to or narrow your goal and customize it.

Hi,

color scheme’s are usually defined by the theme. Positioning elements needs some ID’s or class correctly defined and a medium knowledge for HTML & CSS handling.

if you create a child theme, you can change a lot of things related to BuddyPress, including CSS.

Read through the theme guidelines on BP Codex to get a general overview and check also the documentation of your theme.

Unfortunately, you use a premium theme and, as we have no access to his code, we can’t assist you more for it. Any questions related to it should be asked on your theme support.

But don’t hesitate to search the BuddyPress forum using keywords like css, template and so on…

Hi @donsauce,

there is no such setting in BuddyPress, but it exist a plugin !
See:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-views/

Hummm, now it’s me who doesn’t understand !

You asked first
is there any way we can add the existing buddypress favorites to the blog posts

and now you say
I wish to have it in blogs – so […] I can press Favorite

Sorry if i misunderstand your request, english is not my mother language… Do you want to add a [favorite] button to each blog post ? Or do you want to remove some filters from activity favorites ?

Activity → Favorites
