BuddyPress.org

@nnyorker you’re probably activated a standalone BuddyPress theme that has no support for the cover image feature.

I advise you to have a look at this post:
BuddyPress 2.4.0 will introduce Cover Images for members & groups!

Thank you for getting in contact with the BuddyPress team. Some of the attitudes displayed in this discussion have not been respectful and are not conducive to a productive conversation, so I am going to close this topic for that reason only. If anyone has questions about this moderation action and is prepared to discuss them civily, you can find my contact details on https://profiles.wordpress.org/djpaul/.

All projects, including bbPress, BuddyPress, and WordPress, appreciate responsible reporting of suspected vulnerabilities. Read this page on the WordPress site for reporting guidelines for all the aforementioned projects: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/reporting-security-vulnerabilities/

@djsteveb On the whole, the BuddyPress team enjoys a good working relationship with rtMedia, and we have often discussed issues when it’s vague when the root cause lies. I appreciate that it’s frustrating to be passed from pillar-to-post when you’re trying to get support or report a problem. If you still have the information, I’d encourage you to get in contact with the rtMedia team to start the conversation.

Hi @paulrooms

The Italian translation of BuddyPress is up to date: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/it/default/wp-plugins/buddypress

For the menu items (at least what I think you mean), you’ll need to go into wp-admin > Pages > Edit, and just rename/translate the pages yourself.

@alexdex, there’s no point in shouting. As @sharmavishal and @danbp have said, you’d need to develop a custom notification and to do that, you’ll need a basic understanding of PHP and a familiarity with WordPress’ APIs for plugin development.

You’ll be lucky to find someone with enough time and desire to figure this out for your free, to be honest. I think writing such a thing, while it seems simple, could get pretty complicated because of the number of places the Activity Stream is used, and the various internal config tweaks for each.

@navyspitfire BuddyPress does not use wp_mail(), so any calls to that function are ignored and not treated with BuddyPress’ email templating.

If your BuddyPress emails were being sent plain text, then that means you have a plugin that re-declares the wp_mail() function — probably your SMTP plugin, I’d guess. There are other SMTP plugins that don’t redeclare the function, and so compatible with BuddyPress.

We fallback to plain text in these cases to maximise compatibility with all the many ways of customising emails that WordPress permits.

The equivalent function is bp_send_email(), and for the type of email you mention, here’s an example usage: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/src/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php#L533

what I used to fix some of these permissions issues with a bp / multi-site setup – https://wordpress.org/plugins/press-permit-core/ – not sure if this will work on the other issues mentioned – and not sure how to set things up, as this plugin had pulled in the old settings that I made with the role scoper system some time ago.

You’ll probably want to create a new page and then load a custom template.

In your custom template, you’ll need to create an Activity loop with the parameters that you want.

Sounds like this is your first time performing these tasks.
Give it a serious and thorough attempt and see how far you can get.
If you get stuck, use gist or pastebin to share the code in your custom template.

Please do not paste all the code on these forums.

Thanks for your concern.

The responsible way to report a security issue is to:

1. Tell WP about it

2. Open a ticket here – using the same user/pw you use for these forums.

BP xProfile Location creates an xProfile field type.
And it will include any of those field types on the the search form created by BP Profile Search.

I think you want to use Google to auto-populate the textbox(es) created on the search form, based on user input.
That would require custom code added to the BP Profile Search plugin.
You will have to write that code yourself or hire a developer.

Hi @nnyorker,

Try this plugin: BuddyPress profile tabs

Hi,

You said you made some custom work. Review your work and search for WP_Widget occurence, there is probably a little error somewhere and the reason of the php notice. Culprit seems to come from your custom work. You have to debug ! 😉

Difficult to say exactly what’s going on and where. It could be a call to widget from within your theme, or a custom function you added or a plugin you use. That call is using an old method, or some old php coding. It can also be a JS conflict, which could explain why you don’t receive group activities or even a missing BP class or ID name.

Read here, perhaps you can get an idea.

And don’t panic, a php notice is not a hot security alert, just a tech message. You can live with it or try to repair (which would be better).

Hi @eutopia007,

you say nothing about the theme, which could be the culprit. Activate one of the default WordPress Twenty theme and see if the error remain.

In any case, a page named #gf_2 is not part of BuddyPress or WordPress. Check all your pages and their permalinks. If you find one using that, delete it. You should also clear your trash definetly as it could be you have that page in it.

WordPress use page which should be unique and have unique names.

For more information, read here.

Disques is intended for WordPress (read plugin description), not BuddyPress, which use his own comment system through essentialy the site activities.

You’re incorrect. See Trac to have an idea of what improvements are part of.

@insearchofasolution Just thought I would chime in on this.

You would be able to do this but it depends on the approach you take, You could use buddypress for the social network side of things for the messaging between users etc and profile pages/groups etc whilst building a custom user interface for most of the other options you mentioned and tie them together for each user.

Its good you are clear about what you are exactly wanting to build and its all down to research, You can most definitely create separate vendor pages and account pages using custom post types and fields and creating templates for these pages etc.

If you don’t know how to do all of this you may struggle though, unless a specific plugin meets your requirements, I myself have been using an amazing suite of plugins over the past year or so that will help you do a lot of this yourself , they are brilliant for creating complex websites and layouts without having to write everything from scratch. You will have to have knowledge of html and css etc at the very least to use them efficiently though, they do come at a cost and you are looking at $300 for the complete set, these plugins are a little more advanced than other plugins to use as they are developer orientated and can be overwhelming at first if you are new to them, but if you stick with them you will start to realize the doors these plugins can open for you on wordpress and can help make your workflow loads faster and make your project come to life. do a search for TOOLSET PLUGINS by wp-types.

I hope this helps a little bit, creating a complex website as you mentioned above will take patience and time if you are new to doing it, I am in the middle of a few complex builds myself and to be honest with you I now pre-fare to use these plugins for most of my projects now as I can easily create any type of custom post with custom fields and display them via content templates without having to create the templates from scratch on each project.

The best thing about the custom fields you can create with these plugins is that you can create user specific fields and control access to everything with the access plugin, giving you full control over everything and you can create quite complex membership sites yourself.

I see the members list (http://www.hostinggeeks.net/members/) !
I see the site activity (http://www.hostinggeeks.net/activity/) !

You have to debug your site.

Use a Twenty theme while debuging and activate wp-debug in wp-config.php

The k-elements plugin is throwing many warnings. Deactivate it and ask evtl. for help on it’s support forum.

Try searching the Plugin Directory.

See https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-auto-group-join/

Or do you mean create a group for each new user ? So if you have 100 registration, you would have 100 groups ? Huh…

Do you mean a sub-group ? There is a plugin for that: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warnings-with-bp25 (not updated, but is still working) – see the support if you have an issue.

Or read on codex about Group API and how to add them a new page…

Group Extension API

Hi,

have you tried this ?
