BuddyPress.org

Hi @barkins – Unfortunately, BuddyPress doesn’t yet have a full set of CRUD endpoints for BP objects. The team is working on it, and we hope to start rolling out endpoints in the near future. BP-REST is the repo to follow for that.

BP will work fine with the default WP REST API, if all you want to do is access a list of users. However, WP’s user endpoint won’t include any BP data, and you won’t be able to modify/add user data via this endpoint. That said, if your needs are fairly narrow, you can definitely write your own custom endpoint for fetching/updating BP profile data – it’s likely to be much simpler than what’d be required in BP itself, if your needs are pretty specific. Here’s some docs: https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/adding-custom-endpoints/

Very odd – it appears that this too is caused by your theme, as BuddyPress itself just inherits the mobile styling of the toolbar from WordPress (and the WP toolbar looks fine, as shown by your Dashboard screenshot). Try reaching out to the theme author to see whether they’re able to identify the problem.

The hook you mention does not provide any arguments.
Perhaps you need to research how do_action works.
The hook I mentioned already provides the $user_id.

Example:

function sultry( $user_id, $user_login, $user_password, $user_email, $usermeta ) {
   // do something with $user_id
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'sultry', 10, 5 );

I try to answer even if I am not an expert.
It could be some user management plug-ins that conflict. It happened to me in the past that the profile image was not linked to the wordpress avatar. I found out that it was a user management plugin that sent him into conflict (the name of the plugin was Ultimate member). I hope I have helped you.

Hi friend, this is my website http://www.99wordpressdevelopers.com and help me for adding more than one social media buttons in footer. If you have any ideas then suggest me?
Also i want to know how to install WordPress blog through Cpanel.

We’ve used BuddyPress internally at my company and for client’s over the years and it has worked fine.
If you want a Good UI/UX, get a premium buddypress theme. Check the folk at BuddyBoss.

P.S Made WordPress Email Opt-in and User Registration & Profile plugins.

Thanks ositive for the code. Gonna try it out now.

WordPress Email Opt-in Plugin

have a look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/network-subsite-user-registration/

@louisarthur – Thanks for sending me credentials. I’ve logged into your site to have a look.

As you note in your email, there’s no href attribute on these links. It’s not clear to me how this would be the case, but I can give you a starting point for looking into it yourself. Briefly, the buttons will be built without an href if the button constructing function passes an empty link_href parameter to the BP_Button class. The functions used in the two cases are different:

Message public: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-activity/bp-activity-template.php?marks=3090#L3079

Message privé: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-messages/bp-messages-template.php?marks=1362#L1360

The logic in each case is different, but since neither is showing up, I’m guessing that one of two things is happening:

1. One of the conditional checks shared between them is failing for some reason: bp_is_my_profile(), is_user_logged_in().

2. Something on your installation – perhaps your theme but probably a plugin (since you said Twenty Seventeen was exhibiting the problem as well) – is filtering both ‘bp_get_send_private_message_link’ and ‘bp_get_send_public_message_link’, and then incorrect returning empty strings.

To test idea #2, you might try – if you can – searching through your codebase for those filter names.

Hi @chhayaparikh1963 – Thanks for the post!

I agree that the ability to post from the front end would be a good improvement for BuddyPress. It’s a bit complex to think about how it might be developed for BP itself, since it’s likely that many BP sites will want the feature implemented in different ways: limiting permissions to specific kinds of users, linking groups to sites within a multisite network, specific taxonomies for posts created from particular front-end contexts, etc. That being said, it’s something that’s long been on the radar of the BP development team. A recent ticket that outlines the issue is https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6736

In the meantime, I know you said you have checked out all the third-party plugins, but I will say informally that I’ve had pretty good luck with BuddyForms. https://themekraft.com/buddyforms/

I wholly agree with the sentiments of the guy who posted this.

I think bbPress and BuddyPress are, frankly, appalling offerings to ordinary WordPress users.

They may well be excellent tools for developers, but they are the most user-unfriendly bits of software I have encountered in WordPress. Indeed, they make me wonder whether WordPress is for users anymore, rather than professional developers.

It simply should not be this complex, and dismally supported, to have a forum on WordPress.

I agree wholly with the view that there should be a premium paid-for service with a solution aimed at WordPress users – that is people who create editorial and run a site. Not the professional developers, who can look after themselves.

It does not surprise me that outfits like Wix are growing given this direction of WordPress. If it is for developers only – who hone their marketable skills doing this stuff – then fine.

For an ordinary user, who is not totally useless on WordPress, I have found this BBPress / BuddyPress combination utterly toxic and a waste of time.

WordPress has a built-in function for getting the number posts published by a user:

If you’ve been able to figure out how to display profile data, use the same approach here, and you should be in good shape.

This is probably a server configuration problem. This simple plugin can help you figure out if your WP installation can send emails:

Check Email

Alternatively, the emails may be being sent, but ending up in your users’ spam folders.
