BuddyPress.org

I have created a plugin specifically for this.

BP Private Avatars

Let me know what you think.

The easiest way would be to create your own widget, as this widget is in a core file (bp-members/bp-members-widgets.php). Then you can ignore the built in widget and use yours.

Line 307 > 309 is a div containing what you have to modify.

<div class="item-avatar">
   <a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php bp_member_name(); ?>"><?php bp_member_avatar(); ?></a>
</div>

Change bp_member_name() to bp_member_user_nicename()

Code related to who’s online goes from line 247 to 390.

– Copy/paste it to bp-custom.php
– change class name to something unique. ie. class My_Whos_Online_Widget extends WP_Widget
– in __construct function, in $name replace (BuddyPress by Custom)
– modify the div content by replacing bp_member_name() by bp_member_user_nicename()

Done !
You have to register the new widget. In bp-custom

function register_my_custom_widget() {
    register_widget( 'My_Whos_Online_Widget' );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'register_my_custom_widget' );

Go to Appearance > Widget and select (Custom) Who’s Online Widget.

Finito ! 🙂

WP codex reference

@bfchris2, sorry, the file is here /bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php

@mangelesgcl,

consider this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-terms-of-service-and-privacy-policy/
and read this plugin support topic:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-integration-11?replies=4

Other technique

Create a new page and add your terms of service. Save.
Add a new field to profile Base tab (the one which shows on register page).
Field title: Terms of Service
Field description: by checking this box you agree with our TOS. And a link to the page:
<a href='http://my-site.com/page_name/'>Read our Terms of Services</a> Caution: use single quotes to enclose the url
Field type: checkboxes.
Field option: custom and only one option: TOS ! Leave it unchecked.

On the right of the screen:

Field requirement: required.
Field visibility: only me and check Enforce field visibility

Guess we’re done !

While registering, if the checkbox is not checked, the process will stop and user will be adviced that he omited a field. Once he checked it, he can finish his subscription. This doesn’t mean he read your TOS, but you’re covered if you warned him to read TOS first. And ensure that the link is working and the page exist with content !

Depending your country law, TOS can be more or less regulated. It’s your responsability to get informed about that before using it.

You could also use this plugin. Exclude the URLs you want to be accessible to all. Everything else will be hidden, including from SERPS.

Which theme do you use ? Seems you renamed yours to Test, and i was unable to find it somewhere.
Also, do you use a cache plugin ? If it’s the case, disable it or clear it while testing CSS.

I cannot put it in maintenance mode

This is not necessary if you had a local copy. I strongly recommend you do that if you want to manage correctly a high traffic site.

You can use a child-theme for your theme, not for BP which has no theme since 1.9. The one called bp-default is no more maintained and is only in for temporary backward compatibility for (very) old BP site.

BP use templates, which are stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/. Those templates are tailored to fit with almost any recent (and decently coded) themes.

Creating a child theme is explained on hundreds of sites and on WP’s codex. Additionnal infos for BP are given here.

I’m not sure what the “provider user identifier” is? If it’s something in WordPress Social Login, try asking the question over at their support forum. They should be up to speed on it.

You’d need to use Ajax. Take a look at the Ajax in Plugins article for more info.

How are you linking your style sheet? Make sure you’re using wp_enqueue_style().

@dayan89,

could it be that you created your Top menu, by adding a new menu without having two different menu location in your theme ? This can explain why you see always your item, what ever menu you choose. This happen because you try to assign 2 different menus to a same place.

Following snippets where successfully tested with Twenty Twelve.

This fires the profile link on the menu tab.

function profile_button_menu_item ( $items, $args ) {
   
// menu name. Primary is default main menu location in Twenty themes
    if ( $args->theme_location == 'primary') {
        $items .= '<li><a href="' . bp_loggedin_user_domain() . 'profile/public/">' . __('My Profile') . '</a></li>';
    }
    return $items;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'profile_button_menu_item', 10, 2 );

The following explains how it works with 2012.

In 2012’s header.php, there is only one menu, located line 45
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) );?>

To use 2 menus, I added below that line another location
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'top', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) );?>

In child-theme’s functions.php, i added

function register_my_menu() {
  register_nav_menus(
    array(
      'top' => 'Top'   
    )
  );
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' );

Under Menu Settings (wp-admin/nav-menus.php) i have now 2 theme locations.
Primary Menu and Top
Understand here that 2 locations are different of having only 2 menus. Location is a unique place for ONE menu.

Of course, I have 2 different menus. One is assigned to Primary Menu location, the other one to Top location.

And i can now move my profile item from one to other menu, by simply changing the location (primary ⇔ top) in profile_button_menu_item function.

Hi @djsteveb,
I don’t have that tab under menus on my other bp install Really ? Have you activated buddypress in screen options ? Just in case of… 😉

BuddyPress Links in WordPress Menus

@xrossgg,

read some advice here.

@creationp,

once you have identified the correct element id or class, you add !important to the new rule you want for it.
In a child-theme style.css preferably, something like:

h1.entry-title {
 color: #DDD!important;
}

Note that this example will we applied to ALL page title.

@vinzen, wait a little or accept yes and no ;-). PHP 7.0.0 RC 1 is out since 2015/08/21…. RC version should not be used on production sites.

WordPress and BP are both guaranted to work only on the latest stable release of anything needed to get them to work. But you can test at your own risk, RC’s and trunk version are avaible for that.

php7 has a projected release date of November 2015. Next WP release is scheduled in december 2015. And BP around october…

WP devs are already using php7 for unit test. More from here (WP) and here (BP).

You could use WordPress as your CRM. There are quite a few plugins in the repo for that purpose. My advice is to set up a test install, try them out and see which one works best for you.

Hi @xrossgg, see if it helps https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-moderation/

Custom notifications in non-components is tough.

Have you try hooking bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user with a higher priority than what bbPress uses? Something like 8 instead of 10?

You may want to submit a ticket to bbPress about the orphaned return in their function.

See if you can use this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/

Test admin bar (called Toolbar since WP 3.3) removal with one of Twenty’s theme.
It shows always on admin when logged-in, and depending the theme you use, on front-end.

WP reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/show_admin_bar

Which theme do you use ?

1. Search Engine Visibility should stay unchecked. See your-site/wp-admin/options-reading.php
2. Allow people to post comments on new articles: should be checked
   (These settings may be overridden for individual articles.) -> could be set to of by default on some themes. Posts directory > Choose Post > Quick edit > Allow comments. See your-site/wp-admin/options-discussion.php
3. Site Tracking should be checked. BP Settings > components
4. Blog & Forum Comments should be checked. BP Settings > settings

If you’re testing a fresh BP install, add some content so you’ll see how it’s displayed. BP Default Data plugin is ideal for this.
