Sorry but we can’t bring assistance for premium themes.
that said it may be a JS conflict generated by BP in some exotic JS situation…

The ultimate tutorial to add wp_editor to What’s New textarea (on Site, Members and Group Activities pages).

Warning
The What’s New feature was never intended to publish posts or formatted text. It was imagined for brief announcement or instant conversation. That’s why this textarea is texturized and doesn’t allow much HTML tags. It is also ajaxified and need the original BP ID to work.
You will use it at your own risk.

The following trick will let you remove the existing textarea from the template and replace it with a custom wp_editor. And it will be very customized ! For example, you will not have the visual tab, but only his HTML version, similar to the one you see on this forum for example.

Required:
BuddyPress activated
a working child theme
some understanding of HTML and php grammar

This trick was succesfully tested on a single install with WP 4.6, BP 2.6.2 and a Twenty Sixteen child theme.

Start !
Read from here how to remove the textarea in post-form.php

The code to remove is line 40 and looks like this:

<textarea class="bp-suggestions" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"
	<?php if ( bp_is_group() ) : ?>data-suggestions-group-id="<?php echo esc_attr( (int) bp_get_current_group_id() ); ?>" <?php endif; ?>
><?php if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) : ?>@<?php echo esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); ?> <?php endif; ?></textarea>

You replace it by:

<?php
$content = '';
$editor_id = 'whats-new';
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id );
?>

As the visual edit tab doesn’t work, you must deactivate it. In your child-theme functions.php, add this:
add_filter( 'user_can_richedit' , '__return_false', 50 );

And that’s it !

If you want also rich edit for activity comments, which i didn’t recommand for sites who have many comments, you can use the same technique as above, with some more settings. Note that each comment has is own ID and that each comment editor should also have an unique ID.

First, you need to remove the textarea from (child-theme/buddypress/)activity/entry.php
You remove this:
<textarea id="ac-input-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>" class="ac-input bp-suggestions" name="ac_input_<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>"></textarea>
and replace it by

<?php
$id             = bp_get_activity_id();
$content	= '';
$editor_id	= 'ac-input-'. $id;
$settings	= array( 
			'textarea_name'	=> 'ac_input_'. $id,
			'editor_class'	=> 'ac-input bp-suggestions'
		);
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings );
?>

With Twenty Sixteen, i first couldn’t see the Post Update button and the option selector. I got it with this little CSS adjustment (in child-theme/style.css).

div#whats-new-options { display: block!important;}

Function reference: wp_editor.

Guess it concern at first WordPress. Read here:

@jendam As of #6573, you’ll need to add custom CSS to tweak the appearance.

The ticket is closed as invalid.

yes…i read your post as well…unfortunately no plugin exists which would import bp related data. So you need to do it via phpmyadmin only as of now…just backup everything in case u need to revert back..best luck

also mairajs last link is of users capability issue which he faced…so if you face that issue then only u need to check this …else ignore this….

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-problems-after-moving-wordpress?replies=2#post-750300

Perhaps the closing php tag after endwhile. Remove ?>

<?php endwhile;
	// User filtering.
	$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id()
		? bp_displayed_user_id()
		: false;

Note that you’re hacking a core file and that customization will be lost at next bp update.
Never do that.
That said i doubt that your like button will work on BP activities. That button is made for wordpress, not BP.
Try better this plugin which is more appropriate imho.

I’m not aware of any plugin that offers a feature to remove the activation URL. You would instead have to delete the user/signup record entirely.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/unconfirmed/ might help.

Please don’t double post on this forum.

You activated BuddyPress Custom Profile Menu plugin and got a fatal error. Remove it or rename his folder via FTP, so you can access your dashboard again.

Then contact the plugin author.
Since 2.6, BP use a new navigation API. Maybe the plugin isn’t updated for that or there is another conflict with your theme.

You have to debug.
And read also here please.

Hi @dnicu26

I can’t immediately see why that should be stopping the emails. Can you remove the snippet and test again, see if the emails resume sending?

Are you talking about the plain text email that you get from WordPress that says something like a “new user registered on your site”? I assume this has always worked in the past — how many such emails have you received? 10s? 100s?

Can you also please check your spam folders in your email?

Finally, are you using Multisite or regular WordPress?

You may want to look at creating member types. Then you could add the meta as a div class and style them via css:

Member Types

https://gist.github.com/imath/3a5c5ade44eae997fdfd

If you don’t have the ability to code or hire someone that does you may want to try some of the member type plugins out there:

BuddyPress Member Types

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-member-type-generator/

If you want to replace the activity post with recipes instead (eliminating the default ‘activity’) you could change the label of activity to “recipes” using this guide from the codex:

Change “Activity” component’s name and slug to something else.

If you want to keep the activity updates, and add a separate form for recipes, you will probably need to explore Custom Post Types. You’ll need to register a post type called Recipes.

These might help:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-custom-post-types-in-wordpress/

Then add it to the activity stream as a registered activity:

Post Types Activities

Users would need to use the dashboard to create a recipe update in this model, unless you created a front end recipe posting system using something like Gravity Forms:

Hey @idichoo,

It’s awesome you’d like to help with BuddyPress translation! Happy to help you get started with translating on http://translate.wordpress.org. I’m Petya on wp Slack.

If you’d like to get started on your own, this is the best page: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/about/get-involved/first-steps/

BuddyPress could use a Project Translation Editor for Chinese as well, so if you’d like to become one, you can post a request on https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots and we’ll put you in touch with the Chinese General Translation Editors so they can add you as a project maintainer.

P.S. If you’d like to help the team with something quick, you can give us a hand with translating the WordPress 4.6 release video to Chinese! http://www.amara.org/en/videos/HD0Z715enyuZ/id/1429554/

There is now a plugin that allows you to easily add a new tab to the user profile page: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

Full disclosure: I am the plugin author 🙂

Forget it, it’s not possible or at least complicated See here why.
If you’re a coder, you could evtl. try this solution.

On Youtube:

On WPBeginner:

and as always, WP Codex is your friend.

Not out of the box.
By default, a wp site is managed by roles.
Site admin, editors and so on…

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

Members management, including registering new user directly on admin dashboard (outside of the normal registering process) is only allowed for site admins and editors.

Another solution could be to use some conditionnal fields with help of a plugin. But before giving more information for that, please give more details about what you plan exactly and the context of the site.

For example, why must the teacher register his students ? Sounds a bit strange to me.

I’m unable to reproduce this issue on a single install.
– registered using alex@test.com as username and alex as name (BP’s name field)
– on his profile, aside the header avatar i see @alextest-com

Any member links works as expected.

Tested also on MS. Trying to register alex@test.com brings the following error msg:
Usernames can only contain lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers.

Is correct too and expected for usernames on a MS install. (see #17904)

Do you use custom code, login or social plugin related to login ?
What is your theme ?
Have you tested with a Twenty theme and all plugins deactivated ?

Most probably, you have to search about buddypress on the plugin repo:

and then

for lots more

No theme has a child theme. It’s to you to create one. That’s necessary if you whant to add custom style without loosing it at next update.

Sorry i don’t read chinese, but you’ll probably find some guidance on chinese WP codex
