BuddyPress.org

@mrunal2989 the easiest way to center the registration page to select the full-width page template (instead of the Default Template) of your theme from the “Register” page Page Attribute box and then use CSS on the #buddypress wrapper to center the registration page. e.g. add

#buddypress {
     width: 90%; 
     margin-left: auto; 
     margin-right: auto; 
} 

to your theme’s stylesheet.

For groups, you could try this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-edit-group-slug/

However, be aware that this will break your existing group links for those that have manually bookmarked or copied your group link.

Did you also try xprofile_get_field_data ?

You can always make a direct sql call to the database using the $wpdb global.

Hi mcUK!

Thanks for you reply. I’m working with Lotte on this issue.

I tried adding your code. Everything should be in place right now, but it’s still not showing the custom fields. I’m probably using the code wrong…

I tested your code with a custom field ‘Opleiding’ which I added in WordPress: Users -> Profile fields:

I added this to bp-custom.php:

<?php

function bptest_show_opleiding_field () {
	$opleiding_field = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Opleiding' ); 
	if ( ! $opleiding_field  ) { 
	   return; 
	}   
	else {
	   echo '<span class="custom-field-text">' . $opleiding_field . '</span>'; 
	}
}

add_action ( 'user_opleiding_field', 'bptest_show_opleiding_field' );
?>

Then I added this to order.php (the php file where the custom field should pop-up):

 <div id="user-opleiding">
	                           <?php 
		                          do_action ( 'user_opleiding_field' ); 
	                           ?>
                             </div>

What am I doing wrong? It’s probably a typo or a wrongly added term… But I can’t figure out what it is!

Hope you can help us out! Thanks for the help so far!

You could activate some kind of registration honeypot to keep the spam bots out. This technique has worked well for me in the past.

Example: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/registration-honeypot/

Regarding the confirmation email problem, this seems to be a common problem and one that isn’t easily solved. Many things can result in email going into spam, most are usually related to your mail server setup or the user’s own spam filter settings.

Try using Theme My Login.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, not sure from your description whether or not you have already created a child theme with your own CSS file?

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

You can just make all your styling changes in that instead of copying various whole CSS files from the BuddyPress folders (and your changes will be kept whenever WP or BP are updated).

Also double check the box for cover photo is ticked on your WP dashboard if you want your users to be able to use them.

Hi,

generally, a 508 error means that your website is hitting one or more of the hosting account’s virtual resource limits: CPU Usage, RAM Usage, I/O usage or Entry Processes.

first thing to check is your server ressources. Use phpinfo() to get thoose information.

Then compare with minimum requirements for a WordPress/BuddyPress install.

In the meantime, open wp-config.php and activate debug mode (set it from false to true) and see if you receive some notices or warnings.

If you get a php error, such as a missing tag, you have to repair that. Or upload a new copy of an eventually mentionned file. Or if you did some custom coding somewhere, remove it or revert back…

If there is no error mentionned, it is your host plan which is not taylored for WordPress/BuddyPress. In this case, you have to change your host or plan, if you want to use the full power of WP !

You will be confortable with at least php 5.5 and a memory_limit of 64 mb

There may be an issue with your theme.

You need to add the widget
http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-wordpress-widgets-in-post-and-page-content/

This is a generic WordPress error telling you it has ran out of allocated memory, the typical fix is in increase the memory size in your PHP.ini file though you may need the advice of your hosting provider as to exactly how you will do that.

Here is a typical setting

memory_limit = 256M

I’m wondering why you’re writing a custom query to get user meta? That’s what the get_user_meta() function is for.

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

In that case, try asking here.

is_page() has been problematic for me in the past (when using with BuddyPress) but I thought those problems had been resolved. Feel free to open a Trac ticket for this.

When you say posts, do you mean WordPress posts, or BuddyPress activity items? Both “streams” are different and will require different solutions.

In that case @fried_eggz, can you open a ticket for this on Trac?

@mcpeanut I’m unable to test right now but can you give this a try on Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Sixteen and if the problem persists, would you mind opening a Trac ticket for this? Copying and pasting some of what you’ve wrote already should be fine.

The core devs might not see this forum topic.

There are plugins for your task, such as

@dopeboy What shanebp said. BuddyPress powers the 8.1 Million ++ user profiles at WordPress.org https://profiles.wordpress.org/dopeboy

Hi, Andrew:

I’m having the same issues; I use the same updated WordPress and this plugin does not work for me, either. I notice that you have not gotten support. Too bad they do not even offer email support. Not good.
