BuddyPress.org

You can try BuddyPress Private Messages for Friends Only
Note:This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 5 years

I agree that there should be some indication or disabling when the button is clicked.

You can open an enhancement ticket here – use the same user & pw you use for these forums.

There is a plugin that will disable the button when sending public and private messages.

You can get it here:

Hi lekins101

This doesn’t answer your question but you might want to consider using BP Profile Search. I’ve used it in the past and it was pretty good at finding users.

Take a look through these:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/buddypress

It’s not an issue, but how it works actually.

Read about date selector on Trac, and if you have some opinion or idea, feel free to participate to the discussion. Old and long thread, but still in debate ! 😉
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5500

Good idea – you can open an enhancement ticket here using the same user-name & pw you use for these forums.

Seems to me that BuddyPress could be extended to do all that… with a lot of custom coding.

Or, a quick Google brings up loads of alternatives: https://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress+jobs+board+plugin

This will turn off registrations altogether, thus removing the BuddyPress missing page nag:

Go to your WordPress’ Settings > General page and uncheck Membership Anyone can register

Don’t know how that will effect your theme’s registration, though…

are you using this one? https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

Would something like Woo Commerce do what you wanted? I know its compatible with WordPress. I’ve never used it though so I don’t know.

Magento is good but complicated, I have vague memories of seeing some plugins for WordPress that work with Magento.

google “micro job wordpress theme” and would give you couple of paid options

following might help

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/

googling “buddypress approve new users” helps before posting to the forum

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/

Thanks for the code snippets.
Question, is there a way to change the reply-to field in sent emails? I’ve tried to add it as extra arguments on the same set_from method, and i have also tried set_reply_to, but neither worked. The sent from works perfectly, but the reply-to keeps showing the wordpress main email.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/installation/ has this feature.

@creamundo

Let’s be sure it’s a problem!

Could you go in WordPress Administration / Settings / Discussion and check you are allowing avatar display in your WordPress.

I’m saying this because you should at least view a mystery man as your avatar 😉

Hi @imath ,

I saw you take a lot of interest with this problem and I’m having same issue, or at last similar issue.
I can’t see my avatar profile pictures and the link to change that.
I’m using Kleo theme, but if I put twentyfifteen the issue is still there.
I disable all the plugins except buddypress and the issue is still there.
Have the latest version of buddypress and wordpress.

Help please… :~(

Hi,

You’re probably on a large screen. Default display of the directory is already a list. See template code (members-loop.php) using ul and li !

Check your theme or try to simulate a mobile screen (if u use firefox it’s Ctrl+shif+m) to see if your directory get wrapped or not. If not, adjust your (child)theme CSS.

BuddyPress users are the same as WordPress so you can create a user using https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_create_user

To set profile fields data:

xprofile_set_field_data( $field, $user_id, $value, $is_required = false )

$fields = field id

$user_id = current login user id

$value = inserted value

$is_required = boolean

Hi,

you have to check your custom plugin. Or even to deactivate it, as it is no more necessary when you use BP. Problem seems to be that you created something related to members handling before BP was installed.

BuddyPress handles members and their avatars via the buit-in WP avatar function.

If you need more help, please give details about your config, theme and custom code. Thxs 😉

Hi,

it’s related to a custom work of the theme used on buddypress.org. You can read more here and get the source code here.
