Hi,

try BP auto group join

This question was asked many times in the past. Search the forum. Ie.

Auto join group based on role

how to add new members to groups automatically?

3 reports in 3 weeks sounds as though there could be an issue here. Can you open a ticket on Trac?

You can use the same username and password that you use here in the forum to log in. Please provide as much background info as you can regarding your setup.

There’s currently also 29 themes in the WordPress Theme Dir tagged “BuddyPress”. See here. I’m not sure if any of these will be different to the themes you’ve seen already at BP Inspire, but it’s worth taking a look 🙂

Hi,

I am facing the same issue.

My WordPress version- 4.3.1
BuddyPress version- 2.3.3
Theme- Twenty Thirteen
Plugins used- Branded Login Screen, Register Plus Redux.

As an Admin, able to edit my profile but not able edit profile as an user.
And all components of BuddyPress is throwing 404 error.
Can anyone please help me as I am new to this field.

Thanks

Hi @skvirly,

unfortunately, i think nothing about your issue, except that it seems that something is interfering somewhere.

The best practice in such case is to start from the begin.
Activate WordPress and 2015 theme. Check that anything is correctly working.
Then activate BuddyPress. Re-check.
Then bbPress. Re-check.
Then, activate Sweet Date theme. Re-check.

If all is Ok, and only if all, you now have a base install of WP/BP/bbP and your theme working correctly. There shouldn’t be any notice or warning at this stage. If you got one, it’s a probleme with the theme.

If this is ok, you add one plugin. And re-check. This normally make things easier to debug.
As it is apparently related to xprofile, it could be possible that if you use contactform plugin for your register page, that something is wrong with that plugin. But this is only a hypothesis, not a certainty.

Note that php memory_limit of 128 mo is enought to run a script, when BP is running on a single install. Aside, note also it’s default for php 5.6 version.

Happy debuging.

a) If I click to “View” the message (not the html link), in the majority of cases I’m taken to the error page. I’m not clear why this is the case?

Did you happen to delete those activity items? The reason I think you are getting the error page is because those activity items don’t exist.

b) Is there a way to disable html coding in these message boxes?

Yes. You need to filter the text so that all HTML tags are stripped out. There are WordPress functions that can do this for you. See wp_filter_nohtml_kses().

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

2. How do you get the edit facility to appear under Profile? I have Extended Profiles checked. I can only see “View” and “Change Profile Photo”.

This could be a theme issue. Try activating TwentyFifteen to see if you get the edit facility appear.

3. Is there a way to disable the html coding for all of the message boxes i.e. site-wide, private, public, groups and members?

Yes, but it isn’t as straightforward as updating a setting. You’ll need to filter each one, using wp_filter_nohtml_kses() to strip out the tags, as mentioned above.

Hope this helps!

Hi @damland

Thanks for the report. Bug reports can be opened on Trac:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

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

Hi,

see if this plugin fit to your need:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/

There is a guide available showing how to get started with Poedit. It isn’t technically demanding, but you do need to follow the steps carefully. Hope this helps!

https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/poedit/

You can add custom option fields for References and Places Worked:

Profile → Edit

Not sure that adding a memberlist as drop down is very clever. What if you get a community of hundreds of members ?

To get database info, see here: (that’s a common WP task)
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb

The Theme My Login plugin is useful in handling redirection. Taken from the plugin’s feature list:

Redirect users upon log in and log out based upon their role

I’ve done this myself using the plugin and can confirm it works quite well with BuddyPress installed.

See this plugin:

or this one (experimental, by @imath)

Hi

@Jose
Your reply [You need an API Key because your WordPress has to “talk” with WangGuard server, it is like Akismet, you need and API Key, but it is free. In any way, if you need to get a “Premium” API Key, it will be 12€/year. I think it is very cheap….] does not answer what Vignesh has asked: how to get API if one is starter and yet to get to the mark of $200-5k queries..
At least I could not figure out.
If I had, I could give it a try..
Best,

BuddyPress use 3 pages by default: members, groups and activity and a small bunch of templates depending the context.
These 3 pages are not used as ordinary WP pages, and exist for internal usage with WordPress, as slug placeholder only. These pages must stay empty and independant of any template or model.

The best way to add featured images, is to hook into an existing function/filter or action. There’s no need for a static page.

For more complex addition, you can use plugin.php template file which exist in /single/ directory of members and groups component template.

See get_posts and get_the_post_thumbnail on WP Codex
Post type of featured image is attachement

You will need to use hooks. The basic idea is to attach a custom function to the relevant filter hook then inside your custom function you can use number_format() to group the thousands.

@ch1n3s3b0y Hi there, im gonna chime in on this as im starting to believe that buddypress can most definately scale vary well (even though its not been proven yet to scale to say a million users+ i think its quite possible), as henry may remember from previous threads i have commented in i have decided to look into the ultimate server configurations to try and find the best way to actually move forward into my own buddypress build.

This has meant concentrating and learning about lots of different server configurations for the past couple of years in-between my other projects.

Do you think Buddypress can support hundreds of thousands, if not millions of users?

Lets just switch this notion right on its head, rather than ask yourself if buddypress can scale to a millon users start asking yourself if your server setup and configuration can scale to a million concurrent users instead.

The key to success on a buddypress active and busy site becomes more of a server and administration task rather than how you have buddypress setup on a basic server config (before long you will bottleneck somewhere if you do not setup for expansion).

I know it seems daunting to think about all of this rather than install it build it and launch it and expect it to scale! But to me doing something half hearted isnt the way forward with a serious build on any project. If you prepare and understand the potential problems before you have that killer network built with 100s of thousand of concurrent users its much better to be prepared than to sit back and go NOW WHAT! when you finally grind to a halt and noone can use your site anymore and you dont know how to fix and expand it. Proactive is the way forward.

I am currently testing my buddypress install on one of my servers with nginx and HHVM (hip hop virtual machine) that was created by and is used by facebook instead of standard php, this speeds up the PHP execution speed PHP code is translated into C++ compiled into a binary and run as an executable to really speed up the way php works, therefore making everying load much much much much faster! I have only just started messing around with HHVM and will keep you updated. is anyone else actually running HHVM? if so please do share with me your finding, to me this seems the way forward with any buddypress installed website.

Also as i have stated before once i have decided on my final server configurations and im 100 percent happy with exactly how my setups work with wordpress/buddypress to scale to massive amounts of users i will create a post and guide on how i have it all set up, but still will take me more time yet. and also as stated before if anyone else does want to give there 2 cents on it feel free because on these forums there is not much talk about actual configs that people are using, even though i do realize this is server tech department, i also believe it is a valid issue for buddypress because instead of questions about scalability there could also be a few answers which is my ultimate goal. 😉

I’m pretty sure WordPress sets authentication cookies when you log in. Make sure these aren’t being deleted by your browser.

Hi @qurgh,

use bp_loggedin_user_domain function and wp_nav_menu_items filter to add the item to an existing menu, like this: bp_loggedin_user_domain( 'kag/ship/' )

See here for a working example:
