BuddyPress.org

You need to fix it via CSS..I use a plugin called WordPress social login

Hi,

apparently there is a conflict somewhere. Do you receive php notice or warnings with wp_debug activated ? The fn you mention posts new Activity comments received via a POST request.

Before opening a ticket, can you provide some more details about your install please ? Server type, php version and memory_limit.

Theme
Is Valenti theme updated to fit with BuddyPress 2.6 ? No information about this detail on the theme presentation even if recent update (23/6/2016). But it’s crucial to know, as many things changed in 2.6+

Plugins
Hashbuddy wasn’t updated since 2 years.
Do you use WDS-BuddyPress-Project-Framework ?

Debug
To test, you can deactivate all plugins except BP. It’s important you ensure that at least the basic install of WP+BP is fully working. First with a twenty theme and second, with your theme (not the child).

If the site is for a client, you’re a pro. Hopefully you have a sandbox install (locally or online) to do this debug work ?!!!

Any thoughts @djpaul, @r-a-y ?

My host supports all those and my wordpress is the latest. Stil having this issue since the latest bp upgrade.

also ‘bp_signup_validate’

 function bp_password_beefing() {
 global $bp;

 if ( !empty( $_POST['signup_password'] ) )
   if ( strlen( $_POST['signup_password'] ) < 6 )
    $bp->signup->errors['signup_password'] = __( 'Your password needs to be at least 6 characters', 'buddypress' );  
 }
 add_action( 'bp_signup_validate', 'bp_password_beefing');

source:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/160475/how-to-increase-password-requirements-for-registration

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in themes/icynets-simplic/inc/customizer.php on line 437

That’s saying there is a period or ‘dot’ where there shouldn’t be.

Renaming the theme would at least make the site recovered(force deactivation of theme), then you could access the WordPress dashboard again if you don’t have FTP

Then you could use the WordPress editor to make the edit you need possibly.

I hope that helps, I’m kind of new to the forums coming from the support side

In the WordPress dashboard, find under the Users menu a link titled, “Profile Fields”(Users>Profile Fields)

Once you click on this link, then you can add new fields to the profile by clicking the Add New Field button.

When you’ve added a field to the Base(Primary) field group, then it will appear on your registration pages and user profiles.

Copy the buddypress theme into your WordPress child theme, and then you can modify the register template if needed.

copy the buddypress theme into your child theme by pasting this path into your child theme folder
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress

path of file for registration fields is this:
/wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php

Then, add First and Last name fields under User>Profile Links in the WordPress Dashboard.

Currently there is a ‘Name’ field that is required, you can edit it to read ‘First Name’ then add another ‘Last Name’ field..

Then you need to process the data before it saves into the database, I’m kind of at a loss here… I would need more time to brainstorm on it but I did find this hook ‘bp_core_signup_user’

I believe this is the hook you are looking for:

// define the bp_core_signup_user callback 
function action_bp_core_signup_user( $array, $int, $int ) { 
    // make action magic happen here... 
}; 
         
// add the action 
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'action_bp_core_signup_user', 10, 3 ); 

The Theme My Login plugin does that quite well.

In addition, and relative to this point:
Often people don’t have a profile picture on their harddrive/desktop

you can use BP Avatar Suggestion

If profile informations are important for your project, you can also use my BuddyPress Progress Bar plugin, which helps any site administrator to kindly remember his community members to complete their profile in a clear, significant and non-obstrusive way.

Hi @curely,

auto embeding videos into WP is conditioned by certain rules. By default, embeding does only work for approved providers. FlowPlayer is not part of these.

But you can try to add it and see if embeding videos from that provider becames to work. Read here how to do that:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

It is possible and that’s what i explained on both topics i indicated.

By default BP use only a textarea. You can add a WYSIWIG editor by using that snippet.

All that is WP stuff and is explained on WP’s codex.

user_can_richedit
wp_editor

Check you have correctly added anything to your custom page and if the button is still missing, check first the page source code from within your browser. If you find it in code but don’t see it on screen, there may be a css rule who hide it.

Thx *danbp* I REALLY appreciate your help.
I’m a mech. eng. and started 1 week with wordpress, so u can guess how much I know about wordpress! Yet, of course when I used the code ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ )’ for group default, I changed ‘profile’ to something else 🙂
btw, this code ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ )’ worked for me and my default tab in user profile is ‘Profile’ now.

But concerning the code above (your post above) for changing the group’s default tab, it does not work obviously, and still I see the page is not available?
Not to mention, I used the function above (ur post above) before functions which change the name of Forum, etc. Exactly at the top of ‘bp-custom.php’.

Make sure you have pretty permalinks enabled on your WordPress install. (whatever except default) and save.

And check your install again.
Ray’s script is not a bug tracker, it gives only information about global variables which is usefull when you want to debug a custom script. If you seek for bugs – rarely the case on a new install -, activate wp_debug in wp-config.php

Maybe Slava is busy ! Try to contact him on BuddyPress Slack or Twitter (@slaFFik).

[MOD] Topic moved to a more appropriate forum.

The following plugins/widget are generating these error messages.

bp-edit-group-slug

BP_Toplevel_Groups_Widget

BP_Group_Navigator_Widget

bp-group-email

bp-group-hierarchy

You have to contact their authors via plugin support on WP repo.

and on your side:

The first step to getting rid of those Notices is identifying the source, so:
– switch momentarily to a WP theme like 2016 and see if any persist
– turn off plugins one at a time and see if any persist

About the bbPress notice (bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly), read here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10709/

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

Note also what’s coming up for meta in WP 4.6 scheduled for August 16, 2016

Guess you have to code it completely.

A great and very complete tutorial is Creating Maintainable WordPress Meta Boxes

And here an overview of almost all BP hooks and filters related to meta.

Have you read this tutorial ?

Note that most of BP custom functions for core are better handled when living in bp-custom.php. Sometimes also, a same function may work from within one file, but not from the other. In other case, which file has no real importance.
Even if in background there is a hierarchy and a load order, to take in account for the file choice.

That said, as it is related to CPT, bp-custom is the best place IMO.

Theme’s functions.php contains functions related to theme, templating and evtl. wp stuff
BP custom functions goes to bp-custom.php

It’s also better for you to have such separated functions.

A nice plugin to test query performance is Query Monitor. If you use custom queries a lot, it’s super useful.
