BuddyPress.org

I remember looking at a plugin called something like Buddypress custom profile menu, maybe that would do it for you?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

Can you post a screenshot of how you think the site should look, and a screenshot of what you see as a problem. I have access to the Kleo theme, and some experience of customizing the WordPress toolbar.

Re BadgeOS plugin conflict: please post the issue at the plugin’s support page at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/badgeos

Re error with Media upload: Do you mean you cannot upload media from the Page/Post/Media > Add New panels? Then do provide more information https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/. If you’re using a third-party media plugin, please post the issue at that plugin’s support forums.

Hi guys,

sorry to jump in, thought you need a little help from a mediapress early adopter.
But first, about the theme used by @caesarhills.

About Graphene
The theme has an option where you can hide child pages. You probably don’t need to show all your site pages listing below BuddyPress content as you use the buddy menu.
dashboard > appearance > graphene options. Tab General > child page option, select hide listing.

About Mediapress

@venutius, @caesarhills
You don’t need to use a shortcode to get a list off existing galleries. This is default behave.

Caesar, you use BP on network. When you use mediapress, take in account this remark from MP’s author:
If you don’t want to have a separate MediaPress Installation for all the sites, please do not network activate MediaPress. Only activate it on your Main BuddyPress site.

MediaPress is best suited on a Multisite install if you activate it on main site or network activate if you are using BuddyPress Multi Network plugin.

1) When you install a directory uploaded on Github (which is the case of mediapress), github add automatically -master to that folder. You have to remove that when you add the directory to wp-content/plugins/. So to get mediapress working correctly, ensure that the plugin path is
wp-content/plugins/mediapress/ and not wp-content/plugins/mediapress-master like it is setted on trato111.org actually

2) activate mediapress like any other plugin. When BP is installed, you get a message telling mediapress has no page associated to it. Click on repair and add a page manually. Call it ‘album’. Then assign this page to MediaPress component on BuddyPress > settings > pages. Save.

Return to front and reload it. Now you should see a menu item called Album beside Activity, Groups, etc. on the main menu.

Click and you see an empty Album page with the usual search filter for galleries, a sort filter for galleries and a little message telling you “There are no galleries available!”.

Again, that’s the default behave. Note that i didn’t evoquate mediapress settings. I described you only what happens when you install mediapress by default.

For more in-deep details, please refer to MediaPress documentation.

And if you want to use shortcodes, do it after reading this doc.

I would suggest you skip the captcha on registration and instead use something like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-humanity/

or the plugin “good question”

There is another similar to those.. in my experience these work 100 times better in preventing spam registrations..

I also use “ip geo block”

These took my spam fighting down from hours a day to a minutes a week.

Hi, perhaps you omited a dot or another php element. Anyway, below snippet add same fonction to members directory by using the appropriate filter, so you haven’t to touch the template.
Add it to child theme functions.php or bp-custom.php

Show user’s role on member directory

function who_are_you_dir() {

$user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );

	if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
		foreach ( $user->roles as $role ) {

	/**
	 * Fetch the user's role. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
	 * _e('role name', 'text_domain' ) allows use of translation
	 * else use echo "role name"; 
	*/

		// Output
			if ( $role == 'administrator') {
			echo "Administrator";
			} 

			if ( $role == 'subscriber') {
			echo "Subscriber";
			} 

			if ( $role == 'contributor') {
			echo "Contributor";
			}

			if ( $role == 'author') {
			echo "Author";
			}

			if ( $role == 'editor') {
			echo "Editor";
			} 
		}
	}
}
add_filter ( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'who_are_you_dir' );

To show user’s role(s) on his profile, you can use this:

Show user’s role on profile

function blablabla() {

$user = new WP_User( bp_displayed_user_id() );

	if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
		foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
			echo $role;
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'blablabla' );

My question was does the page really exist. This means simply that you have to check for this in WP’s pages list and in BP settings for page, that this page is showing in regard of group : page selectbox.

Do you use plugins other than BP ? If yes, deactivate all except BP and test with 2015.

@jmunce no problem! I’ve submitted to the offical repo so hopefully it’ll be available in the Plugin Directory soon.

I’ll definitely be adding the @ friends command next. Let me know if you think of any more commands that might be useful 🙂

This advice I got from William helped me change the text of the Registration page, I’m sure it will work you change other text messages in Buddypress:

This article may be of help to you to change that text http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/make-your-wordpress-site-buddypress-ready/

Or you can use this one too with a plugin: https://webdevstudios.com/2015/06/02/creating-custom-templates-for-buddypress/

There is a solution for this. See this plugin.

@1amyone,

you simply have to copy/paste the media url into the form.
Note that you can only use WP’s allowed medias. See the list.

read also about media embedding on the BuddyPress codex.

Embeds

I haven’t tried it but there’s also BuddyPress Compliments.

This sounds like a question for the developers of your events plugin, which plugin do you use? There will probably be a forum on WordPress.org for it.

No. But ou can replace the word in the language file by an empty space html entity (& n b s p ; ) and simply add an image, or better, a dashicon, via css.

I’ve not encountered any issues locally.

My preferred setup is Chassis to provide local WordPress environment on vagrant; then adding BuddyPress however you prefer (from wp-admin or manually). Works great on OSX (although there are some general config changes with VirtualBox on El Capitan).

Hi, no need to shout, writing in capitals is really rough. [Mod – topic title modified]

In a WordPress system, you can only upload allowed medias. You already know (probably) that you can embed videos in post by simply copy/pasting the video link into it. This works also with BuddyPress when you enter a video URL to a profile field, it plays automatically, without any additionnal player.

MP3 is an audio format and you can use the same technique as for videos. Read here.

For more advanced display, you have several possibilities by plugins (rtMedia or MediaPress) or by building a custom display which fits exactly to your need. You don’t want a plugin (?), so i’m affraid you have to do something from scratch.

That said, keep in mind that allowing users to upload “big” data files to your site is a mess. First because of the upload limitation in WordPress (by default 2 mo max.) This can only be increased if you have access to the server settings (eg. php_ini and httpd_conf). And if you have some traffic and many MP3, you need a generous bandwith. That’s why it’s recommended to use external services to store these datas. But if you follow this, you can only use what WP allows.

Before thinking about a miraculous snippet in bp-custom, give more details about the scenario you imagine for users (file amount, file size, why do you want this during registering and not later, and so on…).

Depending your answers, the solution can be very simple or very complicated.

There is no free media solution that will work seamlessly across WP Multisite and Buddypress, that is comparable to at least some degree to scripts like Elgg or Easysocial for Joomla … Rtmedia paid version is little better but using and uploading media has become so intuitive and easy (along with site super admins options eg how much to allow to upload in one go) that standard cms-es like WordPress, Buddypress, Joomla, Drupal are lacking far behind : for example see Whatsapp – how easily you can add picture from you phone cam or webcam in your gallery ( for Buddypress, Elgg etc you can do this for profile photo only) – such capacities are totally absent in social scripts like BP (WordPress or WP Multisite without BP is somewhat better if used with Jetpack).

We will never catch-up – you will never catch up unless you have deep pockets. WP+BP rest on its laurels and its sad how FB monopoly is destroying the fabric of inter-connectivity of internet.

Mediapress is not a user-friendly solution if you have to quickly or in a moderate time, deploy a social net site.

bbpress is the forum component of WordPress, it can integrate in Buddypress Groups to provide them with forums but will also work standalone.
