Hi,

you have many errors in your code.

– in the css you declare a class (a dot ) while you use an ID (#) in the html
– in the code, you omit to close a p tag, and you need also a user_id and a way to get the displayed user (WordPress) role. Both are missing.

Here, the whole thing corrected.
– we don’t need a extra div, as we only add a p tag in an existing div.
– the code to get the role holds in 2 small lines.

The CSS (goes into child theme’s style.css)

#item-header-avatar p {
margin: auto;
border:1px solid green;
background: yellow;
width: 110px;
text-transform: capitalize;
}

The html and php for the template (starts aroud line 24 of cover-image-header.php)

<div id="item-header-avatar">
	<a href="<?php bp_displayed_user_link(); ?>">

	<?php bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'type=full' ); ?>
	</a>

	<?php
	$user = new WP_User( bp_displayed_user_id() );
	echo '<p>'. $user->roles[0] .'</p>';
	?>			
	
</div><!-- #item-header-avatar -->

Do it simple ! 😉

Hi,

guess you confuse member types and user roles. MT where introduced to allow site owners to “categorize” their users. WP user role is slightly different, as it defines what user can do on a site, a kind of access management. So in brief, roles are independent from BP member types.

MT and roles are also stored in different tables: MT in wp_terms and roles in wp_usermeta – with the denomination of wp_capabilities…

By default, roles are automatically attibuted at registration level or manually by a site admin. Member types follow the same logic, under condition the xprofile component is activate.

Now the question is: what do you want to do exactly after registration ? Change the role or change the type ?

Roles can be affected from the admin user list page. I would recommand to not modify this behave at registration level, to avoid abuse by promoting fake user for example.

MT can be changed from the xprofile admin interface. There is also this plugin for a more in depth management.

Using a custom function is of course possible. But just to clarify, the one you give as example let’s suppose you have a need for bulk action over user status. Automated task is well and good, but in this case, why not attribute a higher role or type to all by default ?
And if it is not intended for “all” (what i suppose is the case), do you have so many exception that you need such a function ? Can’t you do that manually ? Just my 2 cents. 😉

Did you try using the meta function?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_user_meta

And you don’t need user_can.
Just request the meta and show if it exists.

I have looked everywhere and tried everything!

If so, what could we do more for you ? You’re asking for help for a page question. Pages are part of WordPress and fortunately, WordPress has a codex, where “page” is a well documented department.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages

Page Templates

Concerning BP pages, that documentation is much shorter, because BP doesn’t use page like WP and when it use a page it is internally only, and only for one of his component, not to allow users to write a page.

Deactivate all plugins before activating BP.
Activate a Twenty theme.
Then activate BP. If your admin remains blank again, remove BP from the server – there may be corrupted files – and upload a fresh copy by FTP.

If still trouble, contact your host and see if you have minimum requirements to install BP (including enough php memory (at least 64 mo)

As apparently you never have to debug your install, read here for more recommendation (to follow if possible).

BuddyPress use WordPress tinymce editor. See WP codex:

Hi,

sidebar is part of your theme. The edit.php (members/single/profile/edit.php) template file doesn’t contain a sidebar, but a form. And this form goes into any theme who has a place for “content” (usually it is the main content).

If you don’t want a sidebar on the member page or on the profile, you can add a conditionnal on your (child)theme sidebar.php or around the call to sidebar you can find in almost all your theme files.

The thing to search is get_sidebar which calls the sidebar template.

Note that BP use mostly to “page.php”, so if your theme has such a file, it is where to start. You already know the way to BP’s template doc. More about this on WP codex:

get_sidebar()

Hi,

seems you’re in wp-admin media library when you get that error. The message comes from WordPress. BuddyPress doesn’t use backend editing and doesn’t use edit tools on front-end like “mirror” or “rotate” when he handles pictures.

With BP, a user can handle his avatar picture and the cover header for profile and groups, and all that from front-end.

Where is the image in BuddyPress that you try to edit ?
Please give details, so your issue could evtl. be reproduced.
