rtMedia is a plugin of its own and not a part of a standard WordPres install. Check out their support forum here:
rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
This is a general wordpress feature, to change the number viewed in the list, click on Screen Options at the top of the page, from there you can set the number displayed
It’s the Rtmedia plugin I use which is (for my best knowlegde) part of WordPress
Hi! I would like to sort the newest user in the members widget and the members page by registered date instead of ID. Is this possible? I tried hacking the core file to test and changed ORDER BY u.ID DESC to ORDER BY u.user_registered DESC in class-bp-core-user, but that didn’t seem to do anything. I’m using buddypress for an intranet site and set the wordpress registered date to the hired date of each employee. Now it looks kind of funny, because it shows the dates that they were hired, but its all out of order because its sorting by their database ID instead of the actual date.
Huh. Well, I guess you could probably find URLs like that using some regular expression pattern for
<a href="<url>"><url></a>
and apply it like you did at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32787, but I’m no regex expert, so I can’t help with that.
It would be easier once make_clickable() adds a filter, for sure.
Hi @destac-
Please open a ticket on trac: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
which is a better place to suggest improvements to BuddyPress.
Thanks!

Hi there. If I’m understanding correctly, you’re wanting to modify URLs added to profile fields by your users. The profile fields are analyzed for search links and other links here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php#L326
BP uses the WP function make_clickable() to make links clickable. It doesn’t look like that function is filterable at the moment (there’s a ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32787). I guess you could do something using the filter offered on the forum link you reference, but I’m not sure how you’d know which kind of links to modify (it’s not clear from your question what the goal is).
Hello. I am using RDP LinkedIn login to allow LinkedIn login. This works and successfully adds creates the login with the users data. However all the data gets added to their basic profile. I need the info that is added their fields to be added to the extended profile. Eg I want to take first name and last name from the basic profile and add it my full name extended profile field.
The RDP login plugin has filters/hooks which I can use to tap into the signup process. However what I can’t find is the BuddyPress API info that would tell me how to set an extended field via code. I am looking for some kind of function like:
set_extended_field(‘my_field_name’,$value)
Does such a function exist? Where can I read more about this? Thanks.
Hi eliasgetguineapig
I think you are using theme from Buddyboss. It is a premium product and customization will be supported in their forum. Coming to your question, you can add and remove menu items from Appearance > Menus in the WordPress dashboard.
@richard2001 Could you please elaborate your situation.
To my understanding
1. If you are not receiving email, the probable cause could be with the server hosting. Kindly create an email account with your server hosting and use the same email account in the WordPress. Go to Settings > General to change default email address.
2. Go to Buddypress setting and check if the Notification option is checked.
I tried a different approach – I set the “Site-wide Activity” page as my static home page in Settings>Reading.
Now it is causing a redirect loop when a non-logged in user goes to the homepage (www.charlottemasoneducation.org)
If I set the home page in the above settings back to the “Register” page, it stops the loop.
There seems to have been a ticket about this issue here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4706
I’m not understanding the fix mentioned above and am not certain it is the same exact issue.
How can I fix this redirect problem?
@ngoegan add the following code in your child theme’s function file. It modifies default behavior and redirect user to activity page. Link to the source of code
function bbg_bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to( $redirect_to ) {
if ( bp_is_component_front_page( 'register' ) )
$redirect_to = bp_get_root_domain() . '/activity';
return $redirect_to;
}
add_filter( 'bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to', 'bbg_bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to' );
Hello
I’m trying to configure my WP site to send emails in HTML rather than plain text. I’ve read a lot of posts on it but wasn’t able to make it work. I tried editing pluggable.php (changed setting to text/html there) and bp-core-functions.php but so far solutions described in the forums didn’t solve my problem (I’m running BuddyPress 2.9.3 and WPLMS 3.3 and most of the articles relate to much older versions).
I’m new to WordPress and got BuddyPress as part of WPLMS bundle (which migrated all emails to BuddyPress). Haven’t installed any 3rd party SMTP or email pluginsapart from the ones included in the WPLMS Theme.
Is there any plugin that has been verified as solving the problem? I’ll be grateful for any pointers..
Thanks and best regards,
Witold.
Hi Paul!
Thanks for replying!
Apologies, I’m not referring to the WordPress Toolbar. I’ve marked the dropdown menu in this image to make it more clear what I want to customise/remove.
Image
For example, I’ve removed the “Profile” page, because I just want to have a “my account” page from WooCommerce. This has caused the text in the dropdown menu to disappear when I’m not hovering the mouse over the options in the menu, but when I click in the menu I still go to /profile, etc. which yields a 404 since I’ve removed the page. Therefore, I want to remove the items in that menu.
How can one do this?
Thank you for the support!
No built-in way to do this.
If you know the basics of WordPress plugins, I think you could use the author_link filter to replace out the author archive permalinks. Good luck!
Hi @ottiya
Good question, but the answer’s hard. You’ll need to learn how to modify WordPress theme templates. Start reading through all the linked pages on https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/ and when you have a specific question after you’ve made a try, let me know.
As long as that Members page isn’t assigned to another component, it’s not obvious why it mightn’t be working. Does the form submit when you click Save, or does nothing happen at all?
Is that Page published?
Have you made any customisations to BuddyPress, or WordPress rewrite rules?
Hi @eliasgetguineapig
Do you mean on the WordPress Toolbar? (this thing — https://codex.wordpress.org/Toolbar )
If so, if you search for ways to customise or hide the WordPress Toolbar, you should get some clues. It’s not a UI component provided by BuddyPress.
Check out the plugins here https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/buddypress/
These plugin authors have used the “buddypress” tag which indicates a compatibility with BuddyPress.
Hope it helps!
*** SOLUTION ***
Hey guys I had the similar problem. I had 3 different user types. The first two could select between 2 user roles (let’s say “part time student” or “regular student”), as the third one had to have a set role of a let’s say “Teacher”. So I needed two different registration forms that would automatically register with user roles.
So what I did was to create a user profile field called “Account Type” (dropdown select) with the options of “Part Time Student”, “Regular Student” and ” “Teacher”. I then used @webizone’s solution for a second registration form. I created the template and added to it a few lines of javascript, basically to remove the “Teacher” option from the select menu.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("#field_17 option[value='Teacher']").remove();
</script>
Now that template is for the registration of “Part Time Student” and “Regular Student”. For the teacher’s is just the regular registration form with the “Teacher” option selected by default.
Now to register the user roles I’ve used @spiritix’s solution from here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-assign-a-wp-user-role-based-on-a-registration/
And to restrict wich forums users can access I’ve used https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/
Hope this helps. Good Luck and let me know if anyone has a better solution than this. Thanks
I am getting the following error. “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Members.” I have made sure the following is valid:
– The members page is published
– I’ve designated the register and activate pages.
Nothing happens when I press save. What can be the issue?

Hi all,
I have a plugin tweek question for the Buddypress Group Email Subscription plugin (which doesn’t look right in Buddyboss theme).
It creates a div in the group with the user’s email status and a dropdown menu to change it group-subscription-div.
However, I’d like to remove the group-subscription-div which produces the “Your email status is X (change)” entirely from the site. I’ve removed the divs in the php file but it still creates white space and if I start playing around more it just breaks the plugin and the page.
I appreciate that this is a big ask but is there any way to remove that part of the plugin entirely?
Many thanks in advance,
Chris.
