BuddyPress.org

hi @revadigital,

not sure what you call buddyblog… The blog is part of WordPress, not BuddyPress.

Can you give site url, theme, list of plugins and install type (network or single) please ?

Found a site which seems to be yours. If it is the case, you’re using Frisco for BP, an old theme. This theme hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Since BP 1.9 (dec 2013), you can use almost use any existing theme.
If you’re in a test phase, use simply 2015. Once anything is working, you can search a theme. 🙂

no need to be a programmer to apply a patch. You’re still know how to copy/paste, i’m sure ! 🙂

the number refer to the line number. If you use a code editor like notepad++ you’ll see them.

+ or – is self explanatory: + is added, – is removed.

Depending the patch size, you should be very attentive and concentrated when copy/pasting.

Or you use the heavy pro method, explained on WP’s Codex:
https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/working-with-patches/apply-a-patch-using-tortoisesvn/

… but for one or two lines, it’s a bit to much IMO !

When the door is closed, you always enter by the window ? 🙂

This is the impossible thing (on backend):
1. create a new user with basic information

The WordPress login process use ONLY a username, a mail and a password.
As long as this is not handled and correctly introduced to DB, you can’t before or during this process, enter anything related to a given user from back office.

WP register first the user.
Once the user is registered, he receive an unique ID. It is this ID who allow BP to add additionnal informations.

Or you allow front-end registering or you have to use the 2 step work from back-end: register + extended profile information.

Seems to be a weird bug ! A ticket was opened a few weeks back:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6360

Same issue here, with a patch:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6371

Test the patch, an give feedback (important) about your issue and some details about your host config: server type, php & mysql version.
You can login by using same credentials as here.

Good luck !

@baldarab –

I see how you are using groups – so it does appear that links to them are easily discoverable from your public facing pages.

If you do a view source and look at your code for each of your groups, you will notice that the page title is exactly the same for all of your groups ( <title>Activities – Freaky Rivet</title> ) – and there is no meta name description =

Two major issues for the big G.

Which version of buddypress are you using?

This problem concerns me so much that I have kept one of my sites with an older version of buddypress (2.2.3.1 ) with the cobbled custom code I was able to get from wpmudev ( http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/bp-meta-tite-description-for-groups-and-members-pages#post-806736 ) – the cobbled code may work the newer version of bp – but things are quite confusing with how wp has changed up some of the title thing, and bp has it’s way of things and there are possible conflicts with priority or something..

The discussion on this trac ticket( https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107 ) says things have been “fixed” – I do appreciate the devs working on it a bit – but I have a feeling the fix is more of a “make it work in a semi-okay way with a couple of setups” – not much as far as giving users real control over the titles and descriptions.

I am guessing people will point to theme designers to hook this up, and they will point to “we use wordpress’s suggested way of title-ing (wp the title or whatever) – and so it’s wp/bp issue, and descriptions should be handled my an seo plugin – but given that bp’s pages are pseudo pages without any taxonomy registered, it appears that yoast and others have so desire to work with it.

This is my current understanding, and may be not 100% accurate – what I gather after posting many questions and issues relating to this in various places.

I’d pay someone to code a plugin that gives options for bp meta stuff like the suggestion I posted before, and give it to the community. If I could understand all the bp/wp code and php I’d gladly make it. It seems the BP coders are spread a bit thin, so I have no good options for fixing this issue at the moment.

Is this the only part where you can’t access ?

Ensure you followed correctly all install instructions

Installation in WordPress Multisite

BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

There is a ticket about this issue. See if you’re concerned and don’t hesitate to mention your issue and this topic.

You can login to Trac with same credentials as here

Right. So it looks as though it could be something the BuddyPress core team might need to look at. Can you open a Trac ticket explaining how the profile fields are displaying in the wrong order? If you could provide as much info as you can that’d be great.

You can use the same username and password as you use here in the forums.

This can be accomplished using BuddyPress. As to whether you’ll need plugins or custom code, I’d be tempted to say you’ll need to go down the custom route because I haven’t seen a plugin that will do this for you (I may be wrong so check the Plugin Directory first).

I have never used kendo, so i can’t help you about how it works, or not, with BuddyPress or with your theme.

But you can deregister a script or add more scripts into the theme…
Read here if it inspires you:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/152559/wordpress-script-loading-unloading-wp-deregister-scriptjquery

Theme My Login will allow you to perform a redirect on login. You will need to add the social login button functionality separately. Search the WordPress Plugin Directory for one that works for you and is actively maintained.

hi @chilligrower,

i’m unable to reproduce your issue with P2 Categories. Out of the box installed, and avatar upload and cropping are working correctly.
The only thing i see, is that the drop area may need a little width adjustment. A percentage of 98% will show the right border.

Default css
.drag-drop #drag-drop-area {
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}

See screenshot

You didn’t mention the theme you use, so it’s a bit difficult to help. Or where this code is placed.

Read here, and maybe you can get something

This is a knowed bug, a bit forgotten over the time (2 years back !).
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4821

@imath will look at this this week-end.

Follow the ticket to see progress, and eventually give feedback if asked for. Login on Trac uses same credentials as here.

That said, in your specific example, if a visitor knows the phone number of a registered user and try to search him on your site using that number, guess the relation between both is nearly familiar, so privacy is not a big problem, at least for them. 🙂

Hi @nmschaller,

bbPress is a separate plugin and BuddyPress doesn’t manage bbPress. For questions about forum settings, you can use the bbPress support.

When you use BP groups component, you can add a forum to each of them. In this case only, you have to install bbPress. Of course you can also use bbPress as standalone on a BP install, or use bbPress with WordPress, without BP.

BP doesn’t use “pages” but templates, and the only pages created during installation are in for internal purpose. The “member” page is used to show the member directory, but also profiles or members activities. This dynamic content is displayed on different templates, depending the context, and using WP’s page system to fire all that via a same page slug (aka internal path).

your-site/members/some/thing/ where /some/thing/ is using his own template part displayed on “members page”.

So far i understand you use bbPress and now you want a members directory, and eventually some additionnal fields on user’s profiles. And most of this should be private or “members only”, right ?

The main problem is that you want some custom behave that need some knowledge (you seem to have), but you cannot edit functions.php Unfortunately, this is the place where to add customisation. And what to tell about bp-custom, which is another crucial cusmisation file.

You want to drive and have no steering wheel ! Annoying… 😉

The question is Do you need BuddyPress or can you use another solution ? 🙂

Depends your project, really. Members directory or extended profiles can be done with separate plugins.

Read here:

Or digg into the Codex if you decide to use BuddyPress.

Salut,

the problem is that js is only loaded on the original modification page. To get the new UI, you have to use another filter.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php#L1833

Soufflé par @imath despite the heat (we :sweat: in Paris today)

function change_profile_picture(){         
        add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'change_profile_picture_screen_content' );
		xprofile_screen_change_avatar();   
}
add_filter('bp_avatar_is_front_edit', 'filter_changeavatar_template');

You would probably also remove the original Change Avatar tab from Profile subnav ? Use this:

function bpfr_remove_change_avatar_tab() {
global $bp;
	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'change-avatar' );
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'bpfr_remove_change_avatar_tab', 15 );

Have fun !

@jdc2018 Have you set the WordPress admin panel > Settings > Permalinks to a configuration other than the default configuration. mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work.

If changing permalinks doesn’t work: WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? What other plugins are activated in your site? Where are you hosted?

@vinzen We apologize for the inconvenience to the lady and yourself. We try to follow accessibility guidelines and unfortunately some items fell through the cracks per our recent automated audits on the frontend and backend screens. The manual accessibility audits were to be done after the tickets above were fixed. Please be assured that we’ll let you know how to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for reporting the issue and for your patience.

Rich and famous lazy solution try perhaps this add-on first:

http://themekraft.com/store/woocommerce-buddypress-integration-wordpress-plugin/

Hi,

first, update WordPress to 4.2.2

Second, activate Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Thirteen theme

Third, review BP settings. If Group component is activated, you should have a page assigned to it. If you have some older Group page in trash, clear it. This page must be empty, without template or modell assigned. Just a title nd that’s all.

Fourth, go to permalinks settings and choose any option except “by default”. Save.

Five, activate wp_debug mode in wp-config.php

Finally, go to front-end, Group Directory and create a group.
