Hi Ben,

You are correct that it’s best to leave the bp stylesheet in place so that you get updates to that file. You can add a custom stylesheet, though, and increase the selector power of the rule, so that it overrides the bp.css rule, like .site #buddypress #item-body { border-left: none; }

Here’s the basic concept.

Hi pckelly123: WP Better Emails works well for applying a template to all mail sent via the function wp_mail(), which is what the group email subscription plugin uses.

You say nothing about how the administrator will give a score/badge!
Perhaps you could use one of these plugins ?

@graemebryson5,

you need a function to fetch the activity_comment type in bp_activity table. For the count itself, we use mysql count. Here it goes:

function bpfr_get_activities_comment_count() {
     global $wpdb;
     $user_id = bp_displayed_user_id(); 

	if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {

	   // DB query 
	   $total = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT COUNT(id) FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_activity WHERE user_id = '%d' AND type = 'activity_comment'", $user_id ) );
									  
	   return $total;
	
	}
}

Now you can echo bpfr_get_activities_comment_count wherever you need it on your profile template.

Here an example to get it on profile header.

function bpfr_total_comments() {
   echo 'My comments: '. bpfr_get_activities_comment_count();
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'bpfr_total_comments' ); 

If you need more member activities counts, try Buddy Member Stats !

You could be using the thumb sized avatar. Check your theme to make sure the full sized image is being used. bp_core_fetch_avatar() is the function used by BuddyPress to display avatars but there’s also get_avatar() so check for that too (it’s a WordPress function).

@gettingdownunder,

did you asked on WP Job Manager support forum ? If you didn’t receive any response here, it’s probably because you’re on a BuddyPress forum.

Untill somebody use the same plugin with BP and know also the same issue, it’s better to ask first the authors of the plugin you try to integrate to BP.

Meanwhile, have you made some tests and tried to debug your install ?

Be carefull, it’s not recommanded to modify original files as they will be overwritten at next update. And you will have to redo all your customization.

Prefer best practice and use a child-theme, especially if you modify CSS.

Profile, groups and cover iages are in a custom path.

The complete directory when a user uploads an avatar is /wp-content/uploads/avatars/35/ where 35 is the user_id. Same architecture for groups and covers. So each user as only access to his avatar, and each group has only access to his logo or cover.

Adding avatars in media library is not recommanded, as any author can access to such image. Aside, BP members are usually (except if you have a multi author blog) not going to media library to handle pictures.

And if you already googled a bit, ie. wordpress+change+avatar+upload+path, you may noticed that they are not much results.

It’s not really a Mailgun support problem. It’s just that BuddyPress requires a different email interface to what WordPress needs. I hope in time people will build these for BuddyPress, but for now, you’ll need a developer to build it out for you.

If you know PHP and the basics of how to build with WordPress, I can give you hints.

Use the Repair Tools under wp-admin Tools > BuddyPress. There’s one to reinstall emails.

Emails not sending in HTML means you probably have some plugin active that redeclares the wp_mail function — this doesn’t make sense to non-developers, I admit, but if you have any plugins that do things with emails for WordPress, that’s the likely candidate.

I doubt you’ll find a folder with them in it; instead, they probably get added to the database as part of the BuddyPress install routine. Try installing BuddyPress on a fresh copy of WordPress to see if they suddenly show up.

I would like them to be able to Register as well as Log in using their Facebook account

use plugin wordpress social login..works like a charm

I want users to register for blogging

you want your users to blog from the bp frontend? if yes you need to use the following paid plugin

BuddyPress User Blog

Earl – If you want to use W3 Total Cache’s page cache, but want to whitelist the registration and activation pages, you should be able to do that within W3TC.

This is an old guide that I found on Google to show you how to whitelist pages in W3TC:
https://www.itsupportguides.com/wordpress/w3-total-cache-how-to-exclude-posts-and-pages/

For your needs, whitelist the /register/ and /activate/ page slugs or whatever you have those slugs set to in BuddyPress.

As i already said: it’s not possible actually.

Perhaps in BP 2.6 (release: June 22, 2016)… See #6177 for more details.

Maybe @djpaul can tell you more about this.

@ineedyou,

when embeding a video into a blog post, and this video is a file (ie. xyz.mpeg) stored in the media library, WP build a link to this file. You can choose between url to file or url to an attachment.

The post is published and appears as excerpt in the site activity. The video is not visible and the link is inactive. That is how it is meant to work.

When you embed a video coming from one of the allowed online services, ie. youtube, WP create an iframe in which you see the video like you could see it on youtube.
When this type of post is on the site activity page, the video is visible. This video is also visible in the publish screen (in visual mode) of the post. That is how it is meant to work.

If you publish a BP update via what’s new form and add a, ie. youtube video link, you’ll see the video in the activity stream.

On admin’s dashboard, the BP activity page doesn’t show the videos. That is how it is meant to work.

Hope it’s clear. 😉

@kalico – You should post your question on the CBOX forums:

About the Project

If the problem is with Docs, do post a bug report here:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-docs

You could also try upgrading to the latest version of BuddyPress Docs to see if that fixes your problem.

Dear @danbp

My english is not good so i hope you are talking about my problem that buddypress display default wordpress post on activity stream with image or image + text… But when i add (attach isnert with url) embed video to post on backend admin side, buddypress do not display this video. Just display “Mrx wrote a new post, ABC (Post Title)”. if i click post title open in new window and i can see the embed video there…

Why my buddypress activity do not display embeded video post on activiy…Only text or image can be display…. All my WP and BP version latest, also test it default wordpress themes.

Very import for me… I am searching this topic last 7 days and askink forum but no reply…

Thanks…

@sharmavishal,

hi captain Haddock, i’m not in charge of a plugin list. 🙂 And latest information about this missing page can be found here.

Actually, the only place to get a list of BP plugins is the WP repository.

If you don’t want to miss specifically imath’s plugins, you can subscibe to his twitter account(@imath), or for any other plugin author, a solution could be to subscribe to WP plugins feed.

Seems not to be a BuddyPress question. BuddyPress doesn’t use categories. Permalink is a WordPress setting.

Avada is a premium theme framework. We have no acces to his code and can’t help you here. Check Avada support.

bbPress is a separate plugin. Check bbP support.

What could i do ?

– read the documentation
– review all your settings
– ask for help on the appropriate support forum.

Check these plugins, different purpose :

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-reactions/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-rating/

https://spoonjab.com/bp-wp-profile-reviews/ (premium, untested)

As both sites are WordPress, you can, for example, share the wp_users table between separate WordPress installations, but all the BuddyPress profile data is stored in custom BuddyPress tables. The non-BuddyPress site will have no idea where or how to get the profile data from the BuddyPress-powered site.

You could, for example, copy the database tables across each night to keep the non-BuddyPress site updated, but you’ll still end up running BuddyPress on the main site in order to have access to APIs to query/fetch/display that data. Again, you could write custom SQL to achieve this, but you’re digging yourself into a large hole.

I agree with the previous advice given 🙂
