Hello!
I’ve been having this issue for a couple of days, just installed a plugin to Export/Import users to a CSV file, although i can see the Birthday Column in the file, when i change the birthday from a user, and import it into wordpress it doesn’t show the date, and i have to set it manually, but one by one would take a lot of time, since im importing around 1500 users.
I also tried using different date’s format, but none was possible to import.
This is a must since im building an intranet, and i have installed the birthday widget to show those who are celebrating their birthday at the current month.
Cheers!
Vinny
Post Formats is a WordPress theme feature. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats. Try asking your question at https://wordpress.org/support/
I tried BP Reactions after activating it, it does not show up
You could try opening an issue on the plugin’s forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-reactions
As alternative @saz25, you can also take a look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/ It will work with almost all theme and easy to customize.
I completely Disagree! BuddyPress has served me well in over 250 projects. I only use 3 plugins on average and never use any pre-made themes. I have developed over 250 perfectly working and extremely customized communities and learning websites as well as intranet sites using BuddyPress and have never had any issues with it. I have never had any issues making it do just exactly what I want to to do “Well, there maybe one or 2 items I would change”.
Anyways, my point is, if you know how to work with WP’s flavor of messed up PHP, if you know how to use the codex, the extensive list of attributes and hooks, actions and filters that are listed all over the web, BuddyPress is a pretty puppy that can pretty much act, do or become anything you want without all the plugins.
As far as the help goes around here, Well, yes, It has a lot to be desired. When you post a question, you must realize that not everyone here can help. A lot of the members here are looking for help themselves. The guys who can help are often times bogged down trying to help others and along with having work of their own to complete for their jobs at the same time. So yes, the help here is sparse but no one ever said that this was the help desk or the help line. Its just a forum for people to ask questions and get replies from other members and sometime staff that will help out someone when we can.
And Finally……
Wordpress and BuddyPress are basically developers platforms. It just so happens that its simple enough that basically anyone who has a desire to learn or are at least brave enough to look into some files can make changes and even figure out how to make a theme if they want. No one ever said it was easy for everyone which is why a lot of people pay other people to do the work for them. If you fall into this category, please just pay someone to do the work and stop whining about not getting help because you dont know what your doing.
Hi @seanbees you can try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-direct-menus/
You can also watch https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDheDU1sSZ get familiar with its usages. The purpose of the tutorial is to add a class to BP menus, but it will also be helpful for how to use this plugin.
Hi @seanbees
You can find BuddyPress specific links with menu section, Click on “Screen Options” to open up the panel at the top of the screen and check the “BuddyPress” option under the “Show On Screen” section.
BuddyPress Links in WordPress Menus
@knight287 there are a couple of plugins you can use them to get your server info like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-serverinfo/ It will help to find if GD lib is installed on your server or not. You can also consult with your hosting support.
@ranajoyc BuddyPress expend the WordPress functionality, it uses the same user tables which are created by regular WordPress installations. WordPress users will always be part of your BuddyPress community.
Hi all!
I have the latest wordpress version with the latest buddypress version. I would like to create a “post format” so that my users can only publish a certain type of post. This format would have an image, small description, and other specific types. I want this because the users will be entrepreneurs who will publish their ventures/startups to the website and other users will be able to discover them. So let say I am a user, I will be able to create a post and in order for this post to be published, I must upload a logo, enter a small description, enter the number of years my startups has been operating, the number of employees etc. How can that be done? I am new to php and didn’t find a way of doing so with buddypress or a plugin.
Thank you!
Simon 🙂
I m using WordPress 4.9.1 and buddyboss 2.9.2.
By mistake I have deleted all emails from dashboard. users are not receiving activation email.i reinstalled all emails but still facing same issue.plz help
I have installed buddypress plugin.
My wordpress application should have separate registration for users.
But for a separate page named “some_community” I would like to have buddypress integration for users. In short users for wordpress should not mix with buddypress users…
Don’t know whether this is possible. However looking for some solutions.
Thanks in advance
Hi Will,
Sorry for the post-hijack but I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem that you’ve eluded to;
Are you saying that s2Member will allow users to register using BuddyPress, to join a buddypress group (using https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/) AND a corresponding mailchimp group, all within the same registration process?
If so then I’d like to kiss you – I’ve been looking for a solution to this for months.
Chris.
Hi
I’m using the latest version of Buddypress and WordPress.
I’m having an issue in deleting the Long Description and Short description profile fields.
Every time I delete one of them it adds it back.
I have even renamed them but still it either adds a Long Description or description profile field.
Hi – My activity updates are not displaying properly. Instead of the actual update “Hello World” it will only state the fact “Bob made an update” in all places the update details should display: member profile, group page, sitewide activity page.
I am using:
Wordpress 4.9.1
Theme Kleo by Seventh Queen 4.2.12
Buddypress 2.9.2
Also, BuddyPress Activity Short Code by BuddyDev 1.1.1
All my groups are Public Groups (not Private) in case that makes a difference.
I am still in development mode, so not yet launched. My Buddypress was working perfectly until I migrated my site to a different URL and perhaps some code got changed.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to how to get the full activity update details to display everywhere instead of just the statement of the update?
Thank you very much!
To clarify: I do not want to overload my current WordPress theme anymore. I just want to use the standard BuddyPress template located in the plugin directory. All natively!
If I delete the folders “/community” or “/members” for example in my WordPress theme directory or delete the functions of BuddyPress in my theme’s functions.php, the website crashes unfortunately.
Thanks!
Hey folks,
first of all thank you for this great community plugin! It helped me a lot to realize projects.
I really need to update my very old BuddyPress installation on a website!.
The site still uses a very old method to copy template files from BuddyPress into the Theme directory and load them over. I use a custom theme.
I would like to do a fresh installation of BuddyPress with it’s standard template. Of course with all current database entries, such as activites, members, profile fields – it’d be terrible if they were lost!
Does a WordPress theme generally need to be made “BuddyPress compatible” in any way?
I already tried to delete the template files in my WordPress theme directory, but unfortunately the website crashes with a “white screen”.
WordPress: 4.9.1
BuddyPress: 2.9.2
Big thanks for your help and a happy new year!
Regards
Malte
Hi,
I have noticed that any email notification received from buddy press related to Activity stream comes from wordpress@mydomainname.com.
I am able to locate email template from ‘Emails>customise’ in wp dashboard. The template lets me change email back ground, footer, header etc but there isn’t option to change default email notification address. Is this email address changeable?
Regards,
Jacob
Hello everyone!
A happy New Year!
After installing buddypress, set up some groups and register my first user … I logged my user test, to my surprise, instead of going to your test page, it was for the wordpress login … I did not understand, it’s like this same? How do I avoid this?
Forgive me my English, but I need help!
I truly do thank-you for all of this! It’s pointing me in the right direction for what I want to accomplish. I feel like I just need a better understanding of the infrastructure of WordPress, and how BuddyPress works together with it. And you are right, there are endless amounts of options!I’m just stuck on how i would customize the X theme to how i would want it. I would rather do all of this in the beginning by myself, and hire a developer if need be down the road.
– If the plugin conflicts with the theme how would one go about fixing that?
– How would I begin to customize the CSS of the activity streams for users? Where would most of this customizing be taking place? In other words, how would I add the custom CSS to the site?
These would be huge for me to know
Hi,
I have noticed all emails sent when someone registers are from wordpress@mydomainname.com! Is it possible to change it to admin@mydomainname.com or completely hide wordpress from email correspondences?
Regards,
Jacob
So you want a link to logged in users profiles, clarify where this link should be…in the header?
You should make a child-theme and add some code to a new header.php.
<li><a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain(); ?>" class="profilelink" title="My Profile">Profile</a></li>
You must place this code just before the </nav> code, or at any spot in the header you wish.
Thisprobably means you need to learn how to make a child-theme in wordpress first, very important.
Hi, I don’t succeed to modify the email of activation of Buddypress through the dashboard “email” of WordPress. How can I do?
You mean in the public_html/bellmoore/wp-content/plugins/buddypress directory?
“bellmoore” refers to my top level folder for my wordpress instance.
thanks a million.
Steve
When I update the comment in the following page, the “\” is missing. https://i.stack.imgur.com/f9Ynu.png
I find that the problem is due to buddypress.
How to avoid the wordpress comment editor converting characters like “\” to html? There is no problem when I post a new comment or edit a post. It happens only when I edit the existed comments.
My wordpress version is 4.9.1 and a sample page is https://cding.xyz/the-space-of-continuous-functionals-on-dual-space-is-the-predual-space/
