BuddyPress.org

I added a Post Tab to my Buddypress Navigation Tab Menu which displays the latest Posts and Custom Posts for each user.

Now I want to add the total number of all Posts (standard wordpress posts and CPT posts) but only standard posts get counted. What am I doing wrong?

function bpck_post_profile_setup_nav() {
	global $bp;
	$parent_slug = 'post';
	$child_slug = 'post_sub';

    $post_count = count_user_posts(  bp_displayed_user_id(), array('video','discography','post' ) );

	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
	'name' => 'My Posts <span>'.$post_count.'</span>',
	'slug' => $parent_slug,
	'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $parent_slug.'/',
	'screen_function' => 'profile_page_show_screen',
	'position' => 40,
	'default_subnav_slug' => $child_slug
	) );
	}

	function profile_page_show_screen() {
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'profile_post_page_screen_content' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
	}

	function profile_post_page_screen_content() {
		do_action( my_profile_post);
	}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpck_post_profile_setup_nav' );

What’s even more confusing if I add

function my_custom_userpostcount() {
echo '<span>' . count_user_posts( bp_displayed_user_id(), array('video','discography','post' ) ) . ' Posts</span>';

}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'my_custom_userpostcount');

to the user header, the total count number is correct, it counts all post types in the array.

Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

WordPress DB collation install in utf8mb4_unicode_ci, but BuddyPress in utf8mb4_general_ci. Why?

It appears, based on searching the forum, that there isn’t a way to include existing users if you add BuddyPress after your WordPress site has been active awhile. Hopefully, I am just missing something.

However, on my test site, the only existing user (admin) is not recognized as a “user” by BuddyPress. Is there a magic button to push to get him imported?

My live sites definitely have more than one registered user and I would hate them to be ignored.

I am making an intranet for my company with WordPress, where I will add users manually and they can post posts for everyone to see. This needs to be private so NO ONE that isnt logged in can see anything.

I want the front page to be a welcome text and login form, or if the user is already logged in it goes directly to the activity page.

Ive read a lot about this but cant seem to figure out the best way to do it. Any tips? or plugins I can use?
