BuddyPress.org

Thanks @danbp

I’ve just tried it on twenty thirteen (the latest update yesterday) and the groups work perfectly, even for my test user who is a forum participant and contributor for WordPress AND member of two hidden groups. I had tested it previously, but it did’t work on the previous version of the theme. I didn’t even have to deactivate any plugins.

I then tested it with all the themes from 2011-2015 and they all work too.

So… It looks like I need to take this back to my theme developers… Can you please give me so info that I can relay to them so they can get the hidden groups displaying correctly? Or, is it possible to copy the appropriate BuddyyPress files from one of the WordPress themes and put it somewhere in the child theme of the theme I am using? If so… Which ones and where would I find them?

The theme I am using integrates BuddyPress in it, but not in any great detail.

Thank you very much. And what about the Chinese language
In wordpress has Chinese. And in the Chinese language does not have buddypress.
Where to write translations? I want to translate their own.
I added Chinese language on the site

following is the vhost container

<VirtualHost *:1234>
DocumentRoot “C:/xampp/htdocs”
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:1234>
DocumentRoot “C:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress”
ServerName buddypress.local
<Directory “C:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress”>
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and the host file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 buddypress.local
::1 buddypress.local

@henrywright the post on .org got closed, they say it’s too work like…

It was actually the nicest thread closure I’ve ever seen https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lets-work-together?replies=2#post-6872616 🙂

I’ve set up two users to test various things on site during development, one with Administrator and one with Subscriber roles. That’s what the wp dash is confirming under users.

I also have another function to hide the wp admin bar at the top of the page which includes the is_super_admin(). When its active, the admin bar is removed for the subscriber but not the admin user as intended. So can only assume that there is a problem with my redirect function itself or perhaps its clashing with something else (though I have no other plugins atm).

//Remove wordpress admin bar for all except admin 
function bpmc_remove_admin_bar() {
	if( !is_super_admin() ) 
		add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
add_action('wp', 'bpmc_remove_admin_bar');

Hi @bewitchingfiction,

I tried it on some of the default WordPress themes and couldn’t get it to work… and it no-longer works on the previous theme used two years ago when I first configured BuddyPress on our site.

My suggested work-around for you until someone is able to get it going again would be to create a password-protected or private page in WordPress for your mods to chat via the comments function. If you use a plugin that allows menu items to only be shown to mods, then no one will know the page even exists.

I use Nav Menu Roles to manage the visibility of menu items on my site. Unfortunately, it’s not compatible with my theme’s menu… so every time I want to add or change a menu item’s visibility, I have to change to another theme to use it , then change back. Clumsy, but it works! https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/screenshots/

I first installed BuddyPress on our site a couple years ago and all worked as expected. However, it was decided we wouldn’t pursue BuddyPress as part of our solution at the time. Earlier this year, we decided to re-instate it, which is when I noticed this new behavior…

There have been a lot of updates in WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress during this time, so I’m guessing something somewhere along the line, but may not have been addressed yet. I haven’t found any fixes online for it, which is why I have posted here.

Just to clarify, HIDDEN FORUMS appear for Keymasters and Moderators, but not to members of them who haven’t been assigned to either of these roles. They can, however, access the forum if they have the URL for it. So, at the moment, I am having to make all members of hidden forums be moderators in order to keep my site navigation clean.

Perhaps @bphelp could shed some light?
