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

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:

Getting Started

Hi,

create a wordpress.org account if you want a custom picture for your profile.
https://wordpress.org/support/register.php

Hi,

try this snippet (add it to bp-custom.php or child theme’s functions.php):

function garfrey_widget_title( $title ) {
if ( $title == "Members") {
$title = __('Members Translation') ; // foreign char. here
}
return $title;
}
add_filter ( 'widget_title' , 'garfrey_widget_title', 21 );

Welcome Pack allows you to customise templates for emails. Give that plugin a try

Ref: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/welcome-pack/

It’s by design:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/messages.php

Closing php tags shouldn’t be necessary, WP instructs not to close out files in this way. If you’re having issues they must lie with the custom templates?

With the WordPress 4.4/BuddyPress 2.4.3/bbPress 2.5.8, if you set any of the BuddyPress pages set to private you get the following error “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams. Repair”

True – If you set Visibility to Private!
Not true if you set the ‘Public or Private’ checkbox provided by the BP Simple Private.

I want people to be able to register as Subscribers but Subscribers should not see any of the BuddyPress/bbPress stuff, only the Contributors and above should be part of the BuddyPress/bbPress community.

So you want to limit access to BP content based on a user’s role.
That is a different issue from the original poster’s issue.
You should create a new topic.
The BP Simple Private plugin discussed above is not applicable to your issue.

With the WordPress 4.4/BuddyPress 2.4.3/bbPress 2.5.8, if you set any of the BuddyPress pages set to private you get the following error “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams. Repair”

I tried the https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/ and that didn’t seem to do what I wanted. I want people to be able to register as Subscribers but Subscribers should not see any of the BuddyPress/bbPress stuff, only the Contributors and above should be part of the BuddyPress/bbPress community. So I need to be able to exclude Subscribers from BuddyPress/bbPress. I have looked and there is some code out there that seems pretty old so I don’t know if it would work and I am not so great with php so I am a little hesitant. I am also new to BuddyPress so I’m not sure of all the ins and outs.

I tested the plugin and it’s working, in the settings there are two areas [edited – please do not copy & paste such data ]
I hope I am being clear.

…is a bit irritating, finally that feature exists already in a standard BP wordpress version.

If you’re referring to the Visibility checkbox feature – Private means only viewable by admins and editors.

@fscbmwcca

thanks for the comment. If I understand correctly then the option:
allows an admin to select which Post types and BuddyPress Components are private
seems to indicate that things like the activity component or the member community component
could be set private.
Did you test the plugin?

The sentence:
provides a Private checkbox in the upper right corner of every page, post, and custom post type selected in Settings

is a bit irritating, finally that feature exists already in a standard BP wordpress version.
That is at least in my BP wordpress version you can already mark
pages as private (i.e. non accessible to non-logged-in members),
i.e. there is already a checkbox. And if there wouldn’t be the bug then
setting the member page and activity to private would have set “the component” to
private, if I understood correctly.
Is the plugin checkbox another checkbox?

There is a plugin which, by its description, seems to set everything private:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/
and which lets you specify which subadresses should be open.
But in my case this is not so helpful because
I want the blog to be public and the blog is not behind a /blog/ adress
but behind the year /2015/… etc.
so I would need to set each year adress open, which seems OK but not really
straightforward.

By ‘private’, you mean only visible to logged-in users?

If so, this may solve your issue:

http://www.philopress.com/products/bp-simple-private/

or

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-simple-private/

You are using a theme or a another plugin to create the ‘wall’, correct?
Have you asked the author of that theme or plugin?

You can use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/ to change the login page.

Hello guys,

One question about bp checkins. this is a fantastic plugin but bpci_activity_address not showing greek characters. any idea how to make the code to use utf-8 so as to play the greek characters?

thanks

i am using buddypress 2.3.5 and wordpress 4.3.1

I installed BP Simple Private it seems to let you mark pages as private and if not logged in it redirects the page. I am only testing now and seems to be working. What I ultimately want to do is exclude “Subscribers” from BuddyPress and bbPress. Haven’t found how to do that yet.

Hi,

consider https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

Notification likes will be implemented in next update (dixit author)

If you’re not comfortable with code, then try searching for a plugin. I’m not aware of one but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one out there 🙂

Ref: https://wordpress.org/plugins/

lol…. you need to copy the folder “buddypress” to your root folder.

Find “buddypress” folder here.

plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress

Now you need to read up on how to change these template files for your need, only these files inside this folder should be changed.

There is no buddypress theme, all wordpress themes are buddypress themes, and the only way to make something unique is through making a child theme of a wordpress site first, then adding buddypress css code and templates etc.

Good luck mate, here is a sample of what I am doing with buddypress…
My Buddypress site | Onlijn.com

So does this mean you cannot use standard WordPress First & Last name fields, that if I want them accessible on their profile I have to use the xprofile component? Seems either redundant to keep them in both or a waste to not use the WP standard fields.

Is there not an easy easy way to modify the profile form to make standard fields visible and editable?
