BuddyPress.org

I doubt you’ll find a folder with them in it; instead, they probably get added to the database as part of the BuddyPress install routine. Try installing BuddyPress on a fresh copy of WordPress to see if they suddenly show up.

I would like them to be able to Register as well as Log in using their Facebook account

use plugin wordpress social login..works like a charm

I want users to register for blogging

you want your users to blog from the bp frontend? if yes you need to use the following paid plugin

BuddyPress User Blog

Earl – If you want to use W3 Total Cache’s page cache, but want to whitelist the registration and activation pages, you should be able to do that within W3TC.

This is an old guide that I found on Google to show you how to whitelist pages in W3TC:
https://www.itsupportguides.com/wordpress/w3-total-cache-how-to-exclude-posts-and-pages/

For your needs, whitelist the /register/ and /activate/ page slugs or whatever you have those slugs set to in BuddyPress.

As i already said: it’s not possible actually.

Perhaps in BP 2.6 (release: June 22, 2016)… See #6177 for more details.

Maybe @djpaul can tell you more about this.

@ineedyou,

when embeding a video into a blog post, and this video is a file (ie. xyz.mpeg) stored in the media library, WP build a link to this file. You can choose between url to file or url to an attachment.

The post is published and appears as excerpt in the site activity. The video is not visible and the link is inactive. That is how it is meant to work.

When you embed a video coming from one of the allowed online services, ie. youtube, WP create an iframe in which you see the video like you could see it on youtube.
When this type of post is on the site activity page, the video is visible. This video is also visible in the publish screen (in visual mode) of the post. That is how it is meant to work.

If you publish a BP update via what’s new form and add a, ie. youtube video link, you’ll see the video in the activity stream.

On admin’s dashboard, the BP activity page doesn’t show the videos. That is how it is meant to work.

Hope it’s clear. 😉

@kalico – You should post your question on the CBOX forums:

About the Project

If the problem is with Docs, do post a bug report here:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-docs

You could also try upgrading to the latest version of BuddyPress Docs to see if that fixes your problem.

Dear @danbp

My english is not good so i hope you are talking about my problem that buddypress display default wordpress post on activity stream with image or image + text… But when i add (attach isnert with url) embed video to post on backend admin side, buddypress do not display this video. Just display “Mrx wrote a new post, ABC (Post Title)”. if i click post title open in new window and i can see the embed video there…

Why my buddypress activity do not display embeded video post on activiy…Only text or image can be display…. All my WP and BP version latest, also test it default wordpress themes.

Very import for me… I am searching this topic last 7 days and askink forum but no reply…

Thanks…

@sharmavishal,

hi captain Haddock, i’m not in charge of a plugin list. 🙂 And latest information about this missing page can be found here.

Actually, the only place to get a list of BP plugins is the WP repository.

If you don’t want to miss specifically imath’s plugins, you can subscibe to his twitter account(@imath), or for any other plugin author, a solution could be to subscribe to WP plugins feed.

Seems not to be a BuddyPress question. BuddyPress doesn’t use categories. Permalink is a WordPress setting.

Avada is a premium theme framework. We have no acces to his code and can’t help you here. Check Avada support.

bbPress is a separate plugin. Check bbP support.

What could i do ?

– read the documentation
– review all your settings
– ask for help on the appropriate support forum.

Check these plugins, different purpose :

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-reactions/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-rating/

https://spoonjab.com/bp-wp-profile-reviews/ (premium, untested)

As both sites are WordPress, you can, for example, share the wp_users table between separate WordPress installations, but all the BuddyPress profile data is stored in custom BuddyPress tables. The non-BuddyPress site will have no idea where or how to get the profile data from the BuddyPress-powered site.

You could, for example, copy the database tables across each night to keep the non-BuddyPress site updated, but you’ll still end up running BuddyPress on the main site in order to have access to APIs to query/fetch/display that data. Again, you could write custom SQL to achieve this, but you’re digging yourself into a large hole.

I agree with the previous advice given 🙂

BuddyPress doesn’t support conditional profile fields (yet?). This is asked frequently but I can’t remember if anyone’s built a plugin that handles this. You might have to hack something together bespoke for your theme.

Regarding the second point, I’d recommend creating a custom field type, if you know PHP. It’s not too hard to do — I worked on this code a year or two ago, and it’s pretty easy to do now. You could look at https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/ for examples of how to add and register custom field types — specifically https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/trunk/classes/Bxcft_Field_Type_SelectCustomPostType.php I think is a good example to work from as it displays custom post types in a list (you’d just query your custom table and pull in the values, wrap it in some caching, etc).

You’re correct. The relevant function is messages_new_message(): https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-messages/bp-messages-functions.php#L130

You can set the BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE constant to get BuddyPress to accept user_login values on the message compose screen rather than the user_nicename. See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ for how to set it, basically you add it to wp-config.php.

BUT setting this will also change the member URLs. For example: example.com/members/user-nicename/ will become example.com/members/user-login/. If you choose to change this, at the very least, you will have to set up redirects manually so as to not harm SEO.

I think probably changing your modification to use the user_nicename will be best.

I can’t speak for all the BuddyPress development team but, personally, I would not recommend W3TC. There is a specific bug with its Object Caching implementation that breaks password resets on BuddyPress for some obscure reason we weren’t able to track down.

You need an Object Cache plugin, which will be backed by a Memcached or Redis instance, or something. If you’re using a great WordPress host rather than any old common host, like WP Engine or Pantheon or Siteground, they already have this infrastructure in place.

You could have a full-page cache, but be sure to only configure it to cache requests for logged-out users. You can imagine that if the majority of your traffic is from logged in, then having a cache for logged-out views isn’t going to have much impact.

Hi,

have you tested this plugin ?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

ADMIN NOTIFICATION Group admins can send out an email to all group members from the group’s admin section. The email will be sent to all group members regardless of subscription status. This feature is helpful to quickly communicate to the whole group, but it should be used with caution.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddystream/

Give this a try: (add to bp-custom.php) 1) & 2):

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'messages', 'compose' );
	}
	
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

3) With BP and xprofile component activated, a user doesn’t need access to WP dashboard. He can change his profile credentials from front-end.
Easiest way would be to use this plugin.

Retrieving them the possibility to change their email is anyway not a good idea. What happen when a user changed from yahoo to gmail, but can’t login because he lost his password ? Where will the new pwd be sent ?

Perhaps you have also to remove this from the BP usermenu on toolbar ?
Here’s how you can do it:

function admin_bar_remove_this(){
global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-messages-compose');
}
add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render','admin_bar_remove_this');

WP users are BP users, except for the profile fields you add in wp-admin > Users > Profile Fields

For granular control of both WP and BP content re logged-in vs. not-logged-in, have you tried BP Simple Private ?

You can get it here: WP Repo – BP Simple Private

Or here: PhiloPress – BP Simple Private

you need to have a wordpress multisite done….and install buddypress on a folder/domain…check codex’s of both..you will get an idea how you can run wp on main domain and bp on sub domain or sub folder

trust me..you are not able to manage in the current scenario which you have…

this is a free support forum..you dont need to talk to me on a one2one basis…custom help is not an option here…you might have a look at the job board if you are looking at custom help

best of luck
