BuddyPress.org

if you have registration turned off in WordPress settings you will have registration troubles. When you got to settings > BuddyPress and on the pages tab do you have the pages assigned to components?

BP doesn’t have a special login aside from showing an avatar in the widget. You can use any login plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-sidebar-widget/

You forgot to mention your bug report:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6428

At the moment, you can’t.

This is handled in the bbPress plugin:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.7/includes/extend/buddypress/groups.php#L55

You could try overriding those variables on the 'bp_include' hook. See where bbPress initializes BuddyPress:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.7/includes/core/actions.php#L132
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.7/includes/core/extend.php#L38

So in theory, you could overload those slugs on the bbpress()->extend->buddypress object on the 'bp_include' hook after priority 10.

Untested, but see if that works. This will also break all your old forum links in the activity stream if you did this.

This doesn’t directly solve your problem, but…

You shouldn’t use ‘admin’ as a user name.

hi @fmckinnon,

Should we also use BuddyPress?

bbPress is a separate WP forum plugin. You can use it on any WordPress install.

BuddyPress is a separate WP members community plugin. You can use on any WordPress install.

Confused by the difference between “Groups” in Buddypress and the forums … and “Group” forums.

BP groups are members activities grouped under a same hood: the group. So it’s a typical BP behave. A group is not a forum, even if group discussion can be followed with help of a minimalistic publishing tool, the what’s new ? form aka notice editor. A kind of wall discussion retrained to each group, without any usual forum tool.

If you use bbPress AND buddyPress, you have the ability to categorize the forum into groups. In other words, you can assign a forum to any group of your choice.

As you can read on Codex, you have the option for a global forum only, or group forums only or if you have time and many mods, group and global forums.

For the last question, you already know that vbulltetin can be imported. For the user i have no answer because i never used this, but one thing is sure, WP use only one user table, no matter the other used plugin.

BuddyPress “shows” users, but doesn’t manage them. bbPress “shows” topics, but doesn’t manage user. That’s WP stuff.

I don’t know if you should use BP and bbPress together simply in regards of these technical explanation. So far i already experimented with BP, they are many other points to take in consideration if you want to built a community site.

Hi @irenehofer,

see if you can adapt

or
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-intranet-directory/

Hey @irenehofer

I’ve not seen a plugin that can do specifically what you need, but try searching the WordPress Plugin Directory for something similar and then perhaps try modifying it to your needs.

Hallo @rene-streber,

First of, i would recommend that you revert to a basic WP install using 2014 or 2015 theme and the WP’s german language activated and all plugins deactivated.

If you have a local install, suggest you do your test on it instead of the prod site.

Once this is done, you activate BuddyPress. German language will automatically be uploaded to the right folder (wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-de_DE.mo)
The original translation is here. It is complete to 100%. (and also the official translation).
FYI deckerweb provides a translation for bp 1.9 & 1.9.1. So seems to me it is outdated now.

Check if anything is correctly übersetzt. Theoretish sollte es jetzt funktionnieren.

If ok, you activate the main theme. Recheck everything. If ok, reactivate your plugins one by one and check each step to isolate an issue, if ever.

If everything is correct again, you can handle the specifics for your homepage. But remind one thing: BuddyPress components use a page system which is only in for internal purpose. This means that you can’t apply a page model like for an usual WP page. And if you use a special template just for the homepage, you have to adjust it to work with BuddyPress.

Each activated BP component should have a page assigned. And this page must be unique and empty, whithout any template or model settings, just a title.

I see that you have some issue with page names in your menu. Button show community2 and the permalink contains community-4. Check this too, to get community only everywhere. And probably clear your trash as it may contain some duplicates from previous attempts.

Once this is cleaned, und mit klarer aussicht, simply resave your permalinks to reinitialize all links.

bp_is_user_forums(), check if forums component is active.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6484

Which type of forum do you use ? Standalone or group, or both ?

In bbPress you have a folder called extend containing the BP specific templates. Should you use them depends the forum type.

If bbPress is standalone, the plugin is totally independant of BuddyPress in regards of templates at least.

Thanks Brajesh, but I didnt find this files, bp-custom.php and member-header.php 🙁

This is my link profile project: http://tiquality.com.br/intranet/members/admin/profile/

On the extend profile fields, it should show the mail of wordpress user.

tks!

This works only in the member loop.
Not sure what you mean by a user standard page, but if you mean a normal WP page, see here first:

Template Hierarchy

or more simplier, see
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/

I can’t explain better as the Codex. You simply have to follow what’s explained here:

Twenty Eleven Theme

Try looking at BuddyPress Docs

Two snippets to do this (hopefully). The first has a fixed position (latest by default), the second let’s you choose the position.

function my_nav_menu_notif_counter($menu) {      
        if (!is_user_logged_in())
                return $menu;
        else
                $notif = '<li>Notif '. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</li>';
                $menu = $menu . $notif;
                return $menu;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_notif_counter' );

See comment how to apply a position
function my_nav_menu_positioned_notif_counter( $items, $args ) 
{
    if( $args->theme_location == 'primary' ) // only for primary menu
    {
        $items_array = array();
        while ( false !== ( $item_pos = strpos ( $items, '<li', 3) ) )
        {
            $items_array[] = substr($items, 0, $item_pos);
            $items = substr($items, $item_pos);
        }
        $items_array[] = $items;
        array_splice($items_array, 0, 0, '<li>Notif '. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</li>'); // 0,0 is first position, 1,0 is second, etc

        $items = implode('', $items_array);
    }
    return $items;
}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','my_nav_menu_positioned_notif_counter', 10, 2);

Never heard about individual WP media library, specific to my buddypress account. By default, all authors can see others pictures when stored in the media library.

BuddyForms is a premium plugin, you probably will have more chance for answers by asking on ThemeKraft support.

Any other idea? Yes !
Use bbP Signature instead. This plugin has a filtrable function where you can easely add custom fields near signature.

Activate the plugin. Create a field called signature and add this snippet to bp-custom.php

function my_bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature( $content = '', $reply_id = 0, $args = array() ) {
	// Default arguments
	$defaults = array(
		'separator' => '<hr />',
		'before'    => '<div class="bbp-reply-signature">',
		'after'     => '</div>'
	);
	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
	extract( $r );

	// Verify topic id, get author id, and potential signature
	$reply_id  = bbp_get_reply_id       ( $reply_id );
	$user_id   = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	if(function_exists('bp_has_groups')) {
		$signature = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', $user_id );
	// here we add our custom fields
		$wowi = '<br>'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Industry', $user_id );
		$wowt = '<br>'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Type', $user_id );
	}
	else {
		$signature = bbp_get_user_signature ( $user_id  );
	}

	// If signature exists, adjust the content accordingly
	if ( !empty( $signature ) )
		$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $wowi . $wowt . $after;

	return apply_filters( 'my_bbp_reply_content_append_signature', $content, $reply_id, $separator );
}

if ( !is_admin() ) {
	remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );
	add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'my_bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );	
}
