BuddyPress.org

Better to ask for this the plugin support

Hi,

you can use BuddyPress in the plugin name, under condition the public can understand clearly that it is an add-on FOR BP and not a part OF BP.

For the domain name, i presume it’s the same trademark condition as for wordpress: no, you can’t. You can use bp-something[dot]com but not buddypress-something[dot]com

BuddyPress comes like WordPress under GPLv2 license and has similar terms of use.

I haven’t seen this on my dev site, and I don’t think we’ve had reports of this, so… as it’s staging, please can you switch the theme temporarily to a default WordPress theme, like twenty-twelve (etc) — and then visit this same URL again and see if the warning is still being printed or not?

I suspect it’s something in your theme, maybe one of the templates, or some customisation hooked into the members loop, but switching the theme is an easy way to start figuring out possible causes.

I’d look at increasing performance generally rather than specifically focusing on trying to block search engines.

Like… I don’t know what other plugins or themes you are running, or how well they are written, nor anything about your hosts’ performance, but you need to look into those. I’d also look at making sure you have an object cache available and configured for WordPress if there isn’t already.

Have you tried any of the methods available via google search?
For example:

How To Stop Search Engines From Indexing Specific Posts And Pages In WordPress

Hi @rezbiz,

in brief, you want to add some status dependent custom link to the BuddyBar.

I’ll ignore Kleo (premium theme) and Visual Composer (third party plugin).

Following examples let you add an external link to a non BP page on almost any menus (except BP usermenu).

How it works ?
– create a test page and call it Book.
– the page slug must be /book/
– the link (tab/button) will be displayed to logged-in users only.

I made also a snippet which add such a link to the WordPress Main Menu. This menu is the one you see in WP’s menu customizer by default. Depending the theme you use, you have always a main menu and X others. This can vary and it’s to you to find how it can/should work eventually. See theme documentation and WP Codex if you get in trouble with it.
Note that it should work with all Twenty themes at least.

Add the snippets to bp-custom.php and see the result. After that, read through the code and modify the page name/ID and slug to your need. Leave anything else untouched.

// add Custom tab on site wide activity and members directory pages
function tab_custom_link_to_page() {

	if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {

		if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
			return false;

		// link to what you want
		$link = bp_get_root_domain() . '/book';

		echo'<li><a href="'. $link .'">My Book</a></li>'; 
	}
  
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'tab_custom_link_to_page' ); // site wide activity page
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types', 'tab_custom_link_to_page' ); // members directory page

// add Custom tab on Profile Nav
function add_profiles_link_to_page(){

	if ( bp_is_profile_component() || bp_is_user() ) {

	if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
		return false;

	$link = bp_get_root_domain() . '/book/';

	?>
		<li><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php printf( 'My Book' ); ?></a></li>
	<?php  
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_member_options_nav', 'add_profiles_link_to_page' );

// add Custom tab on Groups Nav
function add_groups_link_to_page(){

if( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) {

	if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
		return false;

	$link = bp_get_root_domain() . '/';

	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
		'name'			=> 'My Book',
		'slug'			=> 'book',
		'parent_slug'		=> bp_get_current_group_slug(),
		'parent_url'		=> $link,
		'screen_function'	=> true, 
		'position'		=> 40 ) );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'add_groups_link_to_page' );

// add Custom tab on Groups Directory
function add_groups_directory_link_to_page() {

	if( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) {

	if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
		return false;
 
    if ( bp_is_current_action( 'custom' ) ) 
        return;
 
	$link = bp_get_root_domain() . '/book';

    $button_args = array(
        'id'         => 'my-books',
        'component'  => 'groups',
        'link_text'  => 'My Book',
        'link_title' => 'My Book',
        'link_class' => 'my-books no-ajax',
        'link_href'  => $link,
        'wrapper'    => false,
        'block_self' => false,
    );  
   
    ?>
		<li><?php echo bp_get_button( apply_filters( 'bp_get_group_custom_button', $button_args ) ); ?></a></li>
    <?php
	}	
}
add_action( 'bp_groups_directory_group_filter', 'add_groups_directory_link_to_page' );

// add Custom tab on WP Main Menu ( after Home, About, etc )
function main_menu_custom_link_to_page( $menu ) { 
     
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
			return $menu;
	else
 	// link to what you want
	$link = bp_get_root_domain() . '/book';

	$grouplink = '<li><a href="'. $link . '">My Book</a></li>';

	$menu = $menu . $grouplink;
	return $menu;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'main_menu_custom_link_to_page' );

Yes, it looks complicated, but it isn’t. Simply it’s not homogeneous ! 🙂

Hi,

that’s definetly a WordPress question ! Read more about this.

I have this issue too. I can’t believe that no one has responded to you in 4 months!??

It’s clearly a buddypress issue too as it doesn’t work with the theme I am using nor does it work with the default wordpress theme and apparently while it used to work with your theme, after a reinstall, not anymore.

So it’s definitely a buddypress issue but no one responds in 4 months?? How on earth are we to get what we need working if the response time is more then 4 months??

Feeling concerned that buddypress was the wrong choice. This is my first issue and it’s a bad first experience! Unfortunately I put 2 months into building this site and I can’t go back now so it looks like I’m going to have broken pieces and likely have to dump buddypress and maybe even wordpress all together and build a custom PHP site asap, unless someone gets back to yoUs soon.

I hope they do cause I’ve been having fun w/ WP and BP but functionality clearly comes before fun…

Hum, not really…
Do you use this plugin ?

Hi @kyla123,

if you use BuddyPress Login widget, you have a “Remember me” checkbox by default.

If you added an extra page just to let members log in (?), read this WP documentation and check your customization.

The nearest thing I know is https://wordpress.org/plugins/crowdmentions/ however this does not have an @all function, just friends or group members but it may help

Hi Ninja!
This is possbile, but will require a considerable amount of custom coding. You’ll need to have some code this for you, or you can do it yourself if you are comfortable with wordpress coding.

To give you an outline:
– hook into bp_core_general_settings_after_save action
– check if user is trying to change his email address
– check if its the first time user is trying to do so( using a flag in usermeta ). You probably want it for the time time only.
– delete the usermeta pending_email_change
– and update emailaddress for user

Hope it helps.
