BuddyPress.org

1) Yes

2) The same as the default user level you set up in WordPress. By default, this should be the ‘subscriber’ role.

3) https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/

4) BuddyPress does not come with a bundled login page. It uses WP’s default wp-login.php page. You can find plugins on the wordpress.org repo to modify the login page to your liking.

hi @maelga,
You can’t actually automatically associate a user to a category.
try Restrict Categories, which let you assign categories to each user via backend.

To associate an xprofile value (or member_type), try this:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-assign-a-wp-user-role-based-on-a-registration/#post-232887

When you use WordPress alone, you can use many plugins for registering.

If you use BuddyPress, you also use his fonctionnalities.
One of them, is Members, which comes also with extra components, like extended profile.

When you use extended profile, it is like using a register plugin for WP, with his own extra fields you can create/add to the original WP registering process. After that, each user can handle/view these fields on his profile.

Now you have to choose:
– WP alone, with his poor profile fields
– WP + BP, with rich profile fields
– WP + BP, without xprofile component (and users go back to the original profile fields aera).
– or ask on ninja plugin support for improvement guidance to apply with BuddyPress.

Hi @aventurine_geode,

It seems like overkill to create a whole child theme to make a few small changes to things like colors and fonts

It seems because you are beginner. But it is the reicipe of this cooking.
Making a child theme is shorter, faster and much more handy as a plugin.

What is a an overkill ?
Taking a hammer to kill a fly….

What is a child-theme ?
– create a folder in theme directory (5 seconds)
– adding an empty files to this folder: style.css (5 seconds)

Once done, you open style.css with a text editor and you add a header as explained here (copy/pasting: 5 seconds) and modifying that text (15 seconds).

Once done, you activate the child as your site theme. And the “big” overkill is now a simple water drop whipe.

Now you can add, remove, modify any CSS rule from within your child theme. Without thinking about plugin updates or struggling with issues reliable to that plugin.

Doing this depends of your CSS knowledge and your handling of that style.css file

Hopefully, you will understand that in this case, installing a plugin or doing it yourself, has no difference in matter of time, but a big one in matter of usability (direct vs. indirect handling) and last but not least, in both case, it’s you who have to enter CSS rules.

If you know how, it’s ok. If you don’t, it’s only your fault. 😉

This is an issue that has been identified and ticketed and in the process of being corrected, hopefully it will be included in a point release, if not we can show how to modify or replace the core file in the interim short term.

Responsiveness depends more of the theme you use….
There is also a plugin you could try:

hi @mnctigah,

have you found this ?
http://zurb.com/forrst/posts/FPDF_integration_with_Wordpress_for_PDF_printing-Gr4

Yes, I’ve seen many solutions that do just that. Try searching the Plugin Directory. If you have no luck, try searching these forums for a custom code snippet that’ll do the job for you.

Hi,

As mentionned on official plugin page, this plugin is a Beautiful WordPress User Profile and Instant Community Plugin.

In other word, an alternative to BP for WP sites users. You use the one or the other, but not both !

If you have issues with that plugin, you have to contact the author.

Note also that this plugin is not in WP’s plugin repo.

Hi @thesmartone,

I even changed wp_config.php, variable WPLANG
This is no more necessary since WP 4.0

If your WP is in portugese, BP should be in same language automatically (except if you deactivated this feature)

BP translation can be found on GlotPress. pt_BR is translated to 96% (see here)
The po/mo files goes to wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-pt_BR.mo

Your comment is awaiting moderation, is a default WP string. In many cases, it can also be in theme. To ensure this, activate 2013 or 2015 and test all translations for WP and BP.
Deactivate all other plugins while doing this.

And before claiming about buggypress, check for PBCK. Or better, read the doc before installing something. 😉

You’re talking about the value of $this in the filter call in class BP_Legacy extends BP_Theme_Compat ?
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta', array( $this, 'secondary_avatars' ), 10, 2 );

Good question.
And I’d be interested in the answer.

There must be a simple way to disable secondary avatars…
You might want to ask about this on Slack.

Meanwhile, this works, not very efficient ‘tho.
Hook is in bp-activity\bp-activity-template.php

function remove_secondary_avatar( $item_id ){
	
	$item_id = '';
	
	return $item_id;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar_item_id', 'remove_secondary_avatar' );

And this works, but I don’t know why :<

function remove_activity_secondary_avatars( $action, $activity ) {
    
    if ( $activity->component = NULL ) {
	// don't do anything
    }

    return $action;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta', 'remove_activity_secondary_avatars', 10, 2 );

@oliver_rub,

all i could say is that is an old request, even if confidential.
See this ticket opened 4 years ago
and this bbpress ticket kicked to 2.7 as idea. And why not 6.0 ? 😉

Supposing that if more people would ask, it will be resolved faster.

Aside, the gist given by imath need to be completed to work with BP 2.3.2.1 on text Tab (only) by adding
bp_is_group to if ( function_exists( 'bbpress' ) && is_bbpress() || bp_is_group() )

And to enable visual editor, no need of a plugin. See here.

The W3C validator is saying you can’t have an empty form action attribute. So instead of:

<form action=""

you will need to provide a value like this:

<form action="some-script.php"

You could open a ticket on Trac or alternatively you could solve the problem by providing a value yourself. Check out the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article for details on how to override templates.

@nithin270 @dineshravajani07 – Please help us debug bp_verify_nonce_request():
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.3.1/src/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php#L2005

Judging by what you are doing, it appears that function is returning false.

Can you debug that function and find out whereabouts the function is failing for you?

Are your sites behind a reverse proxy?

With standard buddypress (no modifications) you can freely view anyone’s messages without even logging in. Personally I think that is not very good security/privacy, whatever you want to call it.

I made a ticket as I don’t think that “private messages” should be publicly viewable
(https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6504#ticket)

What privacy/security checks would you recommend for people who don’t want users private data publicly viewable?

Also, to answer your question:

How would you do the security check?

These must be done server side. You’re right to think that anything done via the client can be tainted (manipulated by an end user).

The general process is:

• Make an AJAX call passing any client-side data to the server
• Process the data (secure it and perform necessary privacy checks) and then send a response
• Do something client-side with that response

For more info on AJAX and WordPress, check out the AJAX in Plugins article.

The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair

Those pages are not created automatically. When you get this error message, you have to create the pages manually first.

Go back to bp settings > pages tab and allocate the new pages to the respective component. Save.

You have also to set pretty permalinks to something other thant “by default”. Save.

Now BP has his page assigned and should work.

About the missing button.
Clear your browser cache.
If you use a cache plugin, clear it.
Go to wp-config.php and activate debug mode at the end of the file.

Deactivate all plugins except BP and activate one of WP’s theme (2015, 2014 or 2013…)

See if you get some error message and correct the errors (if exist).

If after tracking/repairing errors, the button is still not showing, deactivate buddypress, delete it and upload a fresh copy of BuddyPress to your site. Sometimes files can be corrupted and need to be replaced. No worry, this will not affect any data in your DB.

If still nothing, check that your host plan has the required php version to be used with WP and BP: at least 5.2.4

hi @wpthemes,

thank you for sharing, even if bp-default theme is no more maintained. This old theme is only in for backward compatibility with older install.
