@yespapa This plugin will do exactly what you’re looking for – https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-private-site/

@RafVin Here’s how to hide “All Members” tab with CSS.

Find a file called “style.css” in the wordpress active theme, add the code below and re-upload the file.

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a {
    display: none !important;
}

Warning! When you update your theme, you’ll loose these CSS changes so try doing this in a child theme if you’d like to retain the changes when you update your theme.

Showing custom tasks under personal? Well that requires some custom PHP coding or probably a plugin. Hopefully, someone will help you with this.

@konberg find a file called “style.css” in the wordpress active theme, add the code below and reupload the file.

#buddypress .standard-form div.radio div label {
    text-transform: lowercase;
}

Warning! When you update your theme, you’ll loose these CSS changes so try doing this in a child theme if you’d like to retain the changes when you update your theme.

Let me know if that works.

The filter call is:
apply_filters_ref_array( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', array( $activities_template->activity->content, &$activities_template->activity ) );

Your function expects 2 parameters. Your add_filter call states there is only one.

And there is only one – an array.
Read about that kind of filter https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/apply_filters_ref_array

Try something like this:

function cshp_add_thumbs_to_activity( $array ) { 
     $post_id = $array[1]->secondary_item_id;
    //etc

    $array[0] = // new content

    return $array; 

}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', 'cshp_add_thumbs_to_activity', 15, 1 );

Thanks for the reply on this and sorry just now getting back…life got in the way…can you explain in newbie elementary terms exactly what you were discussing in regards to having me show up as admin and not just looking like a logged in user on buddypress…what is happening is…when I log into my wordpress I show up on my webpage as like a logged in user..doesn’t say admin or anything…I want to be displayed as a admin/moderator for the site…how do I do this…in elementary terms please as I am new to WordPress although I have learned so much and have actually almost put up a complete website…but I am even newer to buddypress although I have it up on my site…these little kinks such as this one are getting in the way…thankful for this buddypress support forum….if you could help I would greatly appreciate it!!

We had WordPress Multisite up and running on Windows Server 2008 for a few years before switching over to NGINX (we could never get the MS box to run quickly enough, and it needed to be restarted a fair amount when there was heavy traffic.)

Before we made the switch, we hired Ruslan Y to look over our configuration and make suggestions for optimizing. They were some great suggestions. I’ve copied the document he shared with us here. I’m not sure if he still does this, but you could try.

Regardless of what plugin you end up using, it might be worth a few dollars to have someone look at your set up and optimize it. The biggest issue of running WP on IIS is that most support forums won’t have what you are looking for, and when you run into problems, you will be immediately dismissed because developers love to blame IIS for bugs when they hear you aren’t running on LAMP.

Just taking a guess here, but depending on your setup, you may not have the URL ReWrite module active. You need Pretty Permalinks to make BP work. Here’s a tutorial: http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/enabling-pretty-permalinks-in-wordpress

It doesn’t work like that. In a multisite instance, your users can all have their own blogs (think wordpress.com). What BuddyPress does is allow you to see all of the activity from those subsites in one Activity feed (among other things).

I have set up the categories in the main site, and I expected to see the same categories on every site, but it doesn’t work.

Although this isn’t a BP feature, there is a plugin that does this. It hasn’t been updated in a while, but you could test it out, or purchase support from Brajesh and request a fix if you run into issues:
http://buddydev.com/plugins/mu-global-terms/. There’s a write-up on the plugin here: http://wptavern.com/wordpress-multisite-global-terms-plugin-share-taxonomies-across-a-network

Also in the user activity stream I cannot see the posts the user has written in his own blog.

That SHOULD work. You mention a custom post type though: is that the activity you are hoping to see? By default BP only shows posts and comments, not custom post types. You can register custom post types: https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/

If the subsite that you are hoping registers activity is set to discourage search engines in Settings/Reading then it won’t register on the main site.

You may also want to try one of the default themes (twentyxx) to see if it’s your theme screwing things up. Many themes that tout themselves as BuddyPress-Ready, are doing some funky things best left to plugins in their functions.php file.

Check out this page, specifically option B: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/

If you Network Activate BP, but then change what BP considers it’s “home” by adding this constant as described in that codex article: define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id );

Then bbpress activity from your main/root domain should populate the activity stream of your BP subdomain.

Wonder if this is related to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6685 ?

You could try Paul’s Welcome Pack plugin. It’s listed as not been updated in 2 years but it should still work.

Which theme is that? BuddyPress doesn’t ask for 2 usernames. The WordPress username and the BuddyPress username are one and the same. It looks as though your theme is asking for it twice

The ‘active’ theme should always be the child theme. That’s not my opinion, that’s fact. And you don’t need to be a developer to use, or create one. Most premium themes are packaged with a child theme, and if you don’t have one, just add a plugin and create one. Then activate it. You will find no WordPress developer that doesn’t recommend the use of a child theme.

Maybe this will help – https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/resources/wordpress-child-theme-tutorial

@william_oneb Please stop giving members advice to edit their active theme. All changes of this nature should always be made in a child theme. Check the codex – https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

@wanhala9, Try s2member plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

If the go to the GitHub for this plugin, there is a development version you can download from there that works. Not sure why the author has not updated the version on WordPress.

What I did was to set the content pages and posts as private in WordPress and then I gave the member role the ability to view private content using a user role editor plugin

One plugin that might help with this is BuddyPress Group Extras

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-groups-extras/

Have you tried PRivate Content?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/private-content/

@paragbhagwat You could always submit a request on Trac to ask that the extra argument(s) you need be passed.

Ref: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

The username and password you use here in the forums will work there too.

From what I can see on a clean install of Kleo/Buddypress, the Top Bar has a menu location assigned to it in WP admin called ‘Top Menu’. This works the same as any other WordPress menu meaning you can add or remove items from that menu.

In WP admin go to Appearance > Menus and select Top Menu. Under Screen Options (top right) ensure the Buddypress box is ticked (allows you to assign Buddypress links to any menu). You should be able to remove the links you don’t want to show from that menu, then save it.

If you installed Kleo with the demo data it might be the case that these links were automatically added. But you should be able to remove them to your liking. There’s nothing going on here that Buddypress is automatically doing itself when it’s enabled.

@Masterpef- I really like how your profile page looks like.Would it be too much if I ask you how did you create it? Do I create a new page in wordpress and give it a profile name.And than Plugin works the magic? Or is there some code,I need to place in html editor? Or add to theme.php or sth? I am trying to understand how it works.. :-/ Thank you.
Ps. How much do I actually need to know to build a membership site with BUddyPress? I mean how much of coding? How technical is it? Is there a step,by step detailed tutorial that maybe you have used?
