@rezon8dev,

why can’t you display something on the profile page ? Both snippets are working and display some content. Explain what you’re trying to achieve or test the snippet and give details about things which are not going like you want.

Profiles are showed one a page called Member. This page is part of BP and use the page context of WordPress internally, to generate dynamically BP’s content.

This means you cannot publish directly on this page, like an ordinary WP page. And all BP pages are working like this.
This means you can’t publish directly on them, using wp’s editor. For any specific content you want evtl. to show on a BP page, you have to generate it separatly, by coding a function.
That’s why the example above uses an iframe for the video.

Normaly, when you add a video to a wp post or page, you have just to copy/paste a link and WP does the whole code automatically for you.

But as it is a BP page, this is not avaible and you must add it manually.

More generally, WordPress doesn’t allow any kind of media and you can only show those which are allowed/recognized by the CMS. This rule is explained here and concern any type of site and any plugin, including BP.

It’s unclear: do you have public or private groups ?
– Groups set for public viewing not showing up.
– There are groups on the site which are set for private viewing.

Privacy settings are different for these types of groups.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminimize/ is another solution
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-hide-dashboard/, also !

https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/ you could try this plugin im sure this plugin lets you rename it to a different url and key of your choice if i remember correctly.

Meaning the plugin allows you to change yoursite.com/wp-admin/ and wp-login to a wording of your choice so only you and anyone you have told knows.

@morka – I know you can’t enable / disable comments on those pages (at least from my experience with BP and a few themes / installs, of course with WP just about anything is possible) – You failed to mention if you have the same issue with the default wordpress themes.

@morka – do you have the same issue when using the default “wordpress 2014” or “twenty-twelve” themes?
If not, I would ask your theme author to add some kind of check on pages for something like “if is register page, turn off comments” / not load the comment hook thing…

sorry not a php or wp/bp expert, can’t point you in the right direction for those codes and what they are really called. I know with some standard WP pages you can go into the editor and select “comments off / disable trackbacks” – and with some themes you can use a theme option to “display comments off” or hide “comments off” on pages where comments are disallowed.

Have you tried the WP members only plugin?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/

This will restrict your whole website also to members only.
If you want to just restrict one part of the website, I can help you build a simple function to do this.

What does the link look like
http://www.example.com/groups/blah blah blah ??
Is that what you are trying to block non mebers access to?

I’m looking for something similar, however I want completely separate forms. I can see how to edit the registration page to only show the fields I need as I customised this to my requirements already. My problem is that I want multiple pages with separate forms on them as this would allow me to code them differently to my needs. When I have put the BP registration form code into a custom wordpress page template, this doesn’t display the form fields as it clearly isn’t recognising the BP specific code within the template.

I’m unsure of where to go with this.

Edit: I can get the form to show up now, but when I submit the form, it just reloads the page without registering the new user.

If you’re using BP 2.2 +, you should use this approach instead:

Post Types Activities

My cpts appear.
However, comments on them do not appear in the activity stream.

Perhaps because I didn’t create a component for those cpts – I hope that is not the case.
Hopefully this ticket will provide an answer.

Hi @gidantrip

Please see 6107

Hi @nkeatign

Looking at the code snippet in that thread, wp_get_attachment_image_src() is used to get the array of info. The 2nd param is size so you can utilise that to get the large version. For example:

$theimg = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id() ), 'large' );

Note: you could also use medium or full if you wanted.

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image_src

This might help you, dont know myself but looks like it is adjustable to do what you need.

Xprofile search

Thanks for the info, I am actually new to WordPress and have not looked through all the functions. I have only built custom queries on custom tables on my own website that I am currently developing.
I have tried wordpress in the past but then switched to other platforms as they was more adequate for my goals.

But right now I am sticking with wordpress and building a new website :),
I’m more use to sources and templates, scripting from scratch.

Out of curiosity, which one is better on performance? A straight up query OR the function above.
If there is security concerns with using a query, apart from sanitisation which I know and use on every custom table, then that info would be good to know also.

Thanks.

Edit, I would like to report a bug in your software, even though you posted this reply I got a notification for a reply in the first topic I made. I had no idea you replied to this other than looking through the latest list of topics.

Hi @ratethetrainers,
see if this plugin may help:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/global-admin-bar-hide-or-remove/

Hi,

The pro version of this plugin works with BuddyPress:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/sp-client-document-manager/

@aljo1985
WP provides a function for getting users. No need for custom sql.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users

@xidea
Have you tried
bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&type=newest' )

Members Loop

Just do a select query to the wordpress database. and echo the results.

// Query
global $wpdb;
$rows = $wpdb->get_results("
	SELECT id, display_name
	FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "users
	ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20"
);
// Show 'em...
foreach($rows as $row):
	echo $row->display_name;
endforeach;

Just change limit, to how many you want to display and DESC to ASC for order.

Enjoy, my last post!

Hi @landwire

This isn’t possible right now, but it’s a great idea. You should open a feature request on Trac to see what the core developers think.

Hi @joenyland

You will need to use validation. Validation is a way of checking what information is received from the user before it’s saved to the database. This can be achieved via a filter such as bp_signup_validate.

For more info on filter hooks in WordPress and BuddyPress, check out this article:

Spam is an endless plague… and there is no radical solution, but only a set of combination for minimizing it, or at least to slow down that phenomenon..

For example, changing the default wp_ table prefix is a good practice which i would recommand to any site owner touched (or not yet) by spammers.

Even if you already use another prefix, but spammers found your site, you have to modify it again. Sounds a bit stupid, but the gain will be effective for a while.

Other tips are avaible on WP Codex.

In some case, you would prefer to use a plugin. See BuddyPress Registration Option.

But in any case, you have to found your own combination.

Firefox > View > Page style > No style – does show the Search box and I could search.
So it is a theme and css issue.
Other search box appears fine on that page.
Did you use mcpeanut’s code with success ?

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seach-box-for-members-does-not-appear-only-the-button?replies=3 – they have said its a BP thing. But they have not said why the BP thing is not being shown by their theme like other themes.

Please post if you solved this. BTW what is the left side bar widget named “Activity” in your site? Its nice. Thanks.

And what is the problem ? With or without BuddyPress, you login to WordPress. 🙄
