BuddyPress.org

Not quite! In BuddyPress 2.6, we added support for dynamic links for user profiles.

In your template/blog post/wherever, if you wanted a link to go to the logged-in user’s activity stream (for example), create the link to <a href=http://example.com/members/me/activity">my activity stream</a>.

See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10791 for the change.

Get in touch with the chinese translation team:

Translation Teams

You don’t need to download GlotPress, you can translate BP online. Just go to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/stable/zh-cn/default and log-in.

And read the translators handbook to learn more about translating WordPress, plugins and themes.

If you prefer to read in chinese, see here: https://cn.wordpress.org/

Have you tried to adjust the size via child theme’s CSS ?
Some examples here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css-media-queries/

You should ask the plugin author. Post your question on the support forum for BuddyPress Cover Photo.

If you are using BP v. 2.4 or greater, you don’t need that plugin – profile cover photos are part of BP.

@rvnamb if you aren’t looking to do programming you may want to check out some of the plugins here. https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/recipes Some of them seem to integrate with Buddypress

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:

As you have established that this is a WordPress issue, and not a BuddyPress one, you might be better to create a ticket over on wordpress.org, where there are more eyes looking at your ticket.

If I’ve read this wrong and you are just trying to sort out who an admin is, the best way to check for a role is via user capabilities (https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities). So checking to see if the users can “activate_plugins” will let you identify whether they have the admin role or not.

You could use something like this to add a badge to admin/verified users.

Your htaccess file should be set to 644: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions

I would suggest checking out this one, which will work for members, but can also be leveraged to feature other content as well:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/cac-featured-content/

This would be a lot of custom development. Read this post about consuming external API in WordPress http://ben.lobaugh.net/blog/46117/wordpress-interacting-with-external-apis

The Notifications %s string looks like it is available:
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/tags/2.6.1.1/buddypress.pot

If you’re using a custom translation from a previous version, you need to merge your language files together. Here’s a quick tutorial I found on Google:
http://www.marketpressthemes.com/blog/how-to-merge-two-po-files-using-poedit/

You might also benefit from a translation that is already available here:

I don’t believe this is a BuddyPress issue. When you change your permalinks, are you able to visit a regular WP post permalink? If not, it’s a WordPress issue.

I would say make sure your server is able to write to the .htaccess file.

Also, you might have to alter your .htaccess file to add the following to the top of the file:

Options +FollowSymlinks

Yes. There’s some sort of bug in the W3 Total Cache’s object cache file. Last time a few of us looked into it, we didn’t figure out what the problem was. However, we tested several other object cache loaders (I think https://github.com/tollmanz/wordpress-pecl-memcached-object-cache and https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-redis/) and the problem did not exist. i.e. it’s a problem with W3TC.

I don’t have any advice other than the unhelpful “don’t use W3TC for object caching”. 🙁

If you set permalinks to something not-default, and then visit a wordpress blog post on your site, does it work?

First you are creating a custom function called automatic_group_membership() this takes one parameter $user_id.

This function terminates if there is no $user_id provided, meaning you don’t run rogue code and your site is more optimised.

When a $user_id is present the groups_accept_invite() function is run. This function is a BuddyPress core function you can find it in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-functions.php on line 1400.

It accepts two parameters a $user_id and a $group_id. You need both in order to create the relationship.

This function is “hooked” with add_action() which is a WordPress core function. This function add_action() has many hooks available for various situations. You can read more about hooks here https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks.

Essentially it’s an opportunity to run your own code against WordPress core, or in this case BuddyPress core. BuddyPress provides the hook and we use them to achieve cool things.

So the hook in this case is bp_core_activated_user and the code we want to run when this hook is available would be the customer function automatic_group_membership which is passed as a second parameter.

I’m not sure where the $user_id gets populated along the way here, nor the $group_id maybe someone can help?

Otherwise, I would do this not on activation but when a user has logged in for the first time.

Then we have access to global $bp which contains a loggedin_user->id which can be used with this function and you could manually set the $group_id in bp-custom.php

You could try using the WordPress API, there is a function called login_redirect()

/**
 * Redirect user after successful login.
 *
 * @param string $redirect_to URL to redirect to.
 * @param string $request URL the user is coming from.
 * @param object $user Logged user's data.
 * @return string
 */
function my_login_redirect( $redirect_to, $request, $user ) {
	//is there a user to check?
	if ( isset( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
		//check for admins
		if ( in_array( 'administrator', $user->roles ) ) {
			// redirect them to the default place
			return $redirect_to;
		} else {
			return home_url();
		}
	} else {
		return $redirect_to;
	}
}

add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );

You need to add something like the code above your child theme functions.php file, or you can create a plugin and add this code to it.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/login_redirect

I haven’t read that article but I mean using a complete WordPress install as a testing environment. It’s important to have something separate from your live website.

I use a shared hosting environment and performance is sluggish at best and I’ve taken a lot of time to develop a theme that is barebones with regard to what WordPress and BuddyPress both give you.

So, you may want to setup in an environment where you can be provisioned for more hardware resources or better hardware.

Like Paul says though, there are many successful sites out there. I’d do your research and speak with the host.

I’m not savvy in this area, only speaking from experience,

The bp_activity_add action fires at the end of adding a new activity item. So you can hook a custom function to that and add your custom post within that. Here’s an example:

add_action( 'bp_activity_add', function( $r ) {

    // Insert a new post.
    wp_insert_post(
        array(
            'post_type' => 'activitfeed',
            'post_title' => __( 'Hello world', 'text-domain' ),
            'post_content' => $r['content'],
            'post_status' => 'publish'
        )
    );
} );

> Whats the maximum visitors you can have on a site using your plugin and wordpress

There is no easy answer for this. WordPress runs well on a variety of small to extremely large sites. Scalability comes down to the exact code being run on the site, the amount of traffic and user interaction, and the infrastructure supporting the site.

Using a metric such as “number of visitors” isn’t particularly useful when it comes to community or e-commerce sites, because those require lots of user interaction, and that impacts performance differently to “read-only” sites. By that, I mean like newspapers, where visitors just read articles.
