@hastig While it is genuinely appreciated that you are trying to help people, some of what you are describing as template files is a little confused and will mislead people into thinking they have to use the advanced taxonomy template hierarchy which isn’t necessarily the case.

I’d urge you check our codex pages again to best understand how overloading files works.

The stackoverflow page would be better removed or at least edited to better reflect how the BP template hierarchy works.

This plugin may be of help to you..

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

This plugin add more fields type to Buddypress extension: Xprofile. The fields type added are: Birthdate.. Image.. Number within min/max values..

@rlfstars So did you build the website yourself? If you did you should sort of be able to retrace some of the steps you took before Buddypress suddenly quit as you have described, can you explain what you mean a little better about Buddypress suddenly quiting? do you mean certain parts of Buddypress stopped working or didn’t work as it was before? or do you mean Buddypress somehow got deactivated? there must of been something that triggered what you are describing for it to happen in the first place, I am just finding it very strange the way you are describing Buddypress as suddenly quiting.

First off, try to ask yourself a few of these questions below and think back:

Did you install any new plugins after you had set Buddypress up and had it working?
Did you by any chance have Buddypress working with your current theme and plugin configuration or was it all working correctly when it was on another theme?
How much memory does your wordpress install have allocated to it?
Did you do a WordPress version update recently? the newer versions of WordPress since 4.0 are known to have broke quite a few older plugins that are outdated or don’t have much support. maybe this could be causing a clash…I dunno?

I know your site is live and you don’t want to mess things up and maybe you are worried about deactivating some of your plugins, but have you yet tried deactivating plugins one at a time and then with each deactivation tried to reactivate Buddypress?

In future it may be better for you to also have some form of testing environment too (preferably a local install), this will allow you to test as many different plugins/theme combinations and tweak things such as combining scripts etc before doing the changes to your live website. (This will ensure everything works how it should and nothing is broken). Also please note, I would not recommend you diving into the combining of JS and CSS files etc on a live site as you can often break things and it can be trial and error to get right depending on what plugins/features you are using (this is also a different issue than what you have, I only mentioned it to give you an heads up on the shear amount that your website loads on a per page basis whilst I was looking at your source).

Other than the above steps it really is hard to help out any more from this end without being able to check it out pal. Like shane said maybe you need to hire someone in to take a look at it all.

Just an idea: if you have no success finding a shared BuddyPress calendar, try searching for shared WordPress calendar. In BuddyPress, members are actually WordPress users so in theory things should work. You’ll need to test though, as always.

Here’s a partial buddypress template files to theme folder listing here

I don’t have activity streams activated so I can’t help you with your original problem, though I’m sure you’ve since figured it out.

Warning: I haven’t tested this or thought it through and I’m half asleep..

For starters, if you have ftp access rename the buddypress plugin folder to something else like ‘temp-buddypress’

Log into admin panel, switch themes to twentyfifteen.

Rename buddypress back to its original name.

Check your site and admin panel to see if buddypress is working with twentyfifteen.

Here’s some troubleshooting advice from wordpress..

WordPress Codex: Login Trouble

Hi,
seems a good idea, and as WP is now responsible of over 25% websites, using such a tool in a WP environment could be interesting.
That said, you’re not alone to think ! 😉 2 plugins are avaible:

Hi,

you need to use bbpress.po translation file, even if your site is in default english language.
Or if you only want to modify one word, you can use this snippet from inside your child-theme’s functions.php (will also work in bp-custom.php)

function bruce_change_name( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
		
	if ( 'bbpress' !== $domain )  
	return $translated; 
	
	switch ( $original_text ) {
		
		case 'Forums':  // original word
		return 'Four Rhum'; // your custom word
		
		default:
		return $translated;
	}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'bruce_change_name', 10, 3 );

@henrywright,
Are you sure this is a bbPress thing ? In the profile of a standard WordPress/bbPress install, I don’t seem to have a ‘Forum’ button in my profile.
Pascal.

do you mean remove something into de plugin code?

No.

remove_action() is a function that lets you remove an action hook. Try reading up on WordPress actions; they’re a way to modify behaviour without editing core files.

Try finding the BuddyPress redirect and check if it’s removable. remove_action() might be handy in this situation, depending on how the redirect is coded.

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_action

The idea here would be to hook in to an action that fires after the join group event. Check out add_action() which should help you do that. You’d use bp_core_redirect() inside your custom function.

Hoping this helps?

Nice work @djpaul, looking forward to bp_send_email() being available. Ref: 6592#29

I wrote:

….somehow I had the impression that private had also worked for authors before the update….but thats another thing”

and

In my application sofar all members are editors (and currently planned to be editors),

The last sentence is wrong, I actually intended sofar all members to be authors (Autor in german) not editors (Redakteur in german).

I wrote the first sentence because before Shane’s comment I am pretty sure that I had tested wether the private pages are visible for authors and not only for editors or admins and thus I am pretty sure that they were so before. It is just that after Shane’s comment I wanted to check back. Unfortunately before I could check back there was an
automatic wordpress update, which now unfortunately screwed up the intended application.

there’s no need actually the user list is the same (wordpress’) and buddypress does not have any forum functionality other than compatibility with what bbpress provides.

It works up to 2.4 and maybe higher, but throws a slew of Notices.

@kalaiyarasi – the emails are generated in various files depending on which email it is.
You can filter most parts of the emails – on a per kind basis.
For example the friend request emails are generated in
\buddypress\bp-friends\bp-friends-notifications.php
See function friends_notification_new_request for the filter hooks.

And yes, the current approach is difficult to work with.
A better approach is being built, hopefully for the BP 2.5 release:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6592

Hi,

as long as these members haven’t loggedin for the first time, their name is held in xx_signup table and are mentionned as “pending” on members admin page.

As you use subdomain, i suppose you are on a network install, in which case, your members admin can be found at your_site/wp-admin/network/users.php (wp-admin/users.php on a single install).

If not, ensure that BP is installed at the same level as your WordPress. This is mandatory.
BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

Anything is explained here:
