Hi!
We’ve found a bug and we’d like to notify you about it.
Slider Revolution 5.2.5 + BuddyPress 2.5.2 + bbPress 2.5.8 shows next notices:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in wp-includes\functions.php on line 3901

Hi all,

This “trick” is intended to allow certain WP user roles (like Admin or Subscriber) to create groups while preventing the rest, and it is intended for installations based in WP4.5 and BP2.5.2. I cannot assure it works for other versions.

NOTE: As a BP plugin file will be modified, the trick will not survive BP updates.

1) Make sure that users cannot create groups by default (Settings -> BuddyPress -> Options).

2) Choose the users that you want to enable (to create groups). Get the list of WP capabilities for each of them from here (or use a role/capability editing plugin):

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

Choose one capability which is only shared by those users that will have the ability to create groups.

For example, if you want WP roles Contributor, Author, Editor and Admin to have the ability to create groups but you want to exclude Subscribers, then choose “delete_posts” or “edit_posts” as your differentiating capability (they all -but Subscriber- can “delete_posts”).

Combinations of custom Roles and Capabilities also work. In my case, I am using s2member Roles and Capabilities (i.e. “access_s2member_level2”).

The choosen capability will be called my_choosen_capability beyond this point.

3) Then, edit /path/to/your/installation/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php. In line 4312 you will find the following function:

function bp_user_can_create_groups()

After the if structure that enables Admins to create groups regardless the settings, add this:


if(current_user_can('my_choosen_capability')){
return true;
}


In my case as my_choosen_capability = access_s2member_level2, the code looks like this:


if(current_user_can('access_s2member_level2')){
return true;
}


Then save and enjoy till next update.

4) When the enabled users visit the group page, two buttons will be printed:

-Join group
-Create group

This is it. Have fun!

A while ago I created a field in my registration page called “country” so user in my buddy press install would write their country. That was really badly planned as people are writing their country name in different forms. I want now to replace that field with a dropdown menu and my question is: if a remove the existing field from the registration page, would I delete also all the information on the database? Many thanks.

I am using the latest WordPress and buddypress versions.

Hello BP community,

We are experiencing an issue with the email notifications buddypress is sending to our forum members. This is the link I mean that was sent by bp:

The problem is, the link is not working. When clicked it only redirects to the main website. I also tried to click the link when logged-in but still the link doesn’t work and still redirects to the main website.

This happened when we updated to BP 2.5.2. We are running WordPress version 4.5

If I use this code it just echoes out the number 1

` <?php

echo bp_displayed_user_use_cover_image_header()

?>`

any help would be super thank!

Hi there

I’ve inherited a site that uses the BuddyPress Twitter plugin.

However, this plugin hasn’t been updated in nearly 3-4 years, and WP and BP have moved on since then.

If I create a fork to get development moving again, what’s the process for getting it listed on the plugin directory and adding a notice to the (original) that development’s starting on a separate fork?

TIA

David

Hi there! I hope you can help at least point me in the right direction. I assist with operations of a membership-based site that runs BuddyPress. Recently, the email notifications for @ mentions and replies on wall posts have stopped working, potentially after some updates were run (by the site owner). I cycled the “Notifications” setting in the BuddyPress settings to no avail. BuddyBoss theme folks gave us no help. If there is something I am missing somewhere, or a direction to look to troubleshoot, I would be ever so appreciative!!!!! Thank you in advance!!!!!

Here are our details:
Wordpress 4.4.2
Running BuddyBoss Boss.Child theme

Plugins:
Akismet 3.1.5
bbPress 2.5.8
TinyMCE Widget 2.2.8
BuddyBoss Media 3.1.9
BuddyBoss Wall 1.2.7
BuddyPress 2.5.2
BuddyPress Edit Activity 1.0.7
BuddyPress Follow 1.2.2
BuddyPress Forum Editor 1.0
BuddyPress Global Search 1.1.4
i2SDK 3.5
Memberium 2.46.16
Memberium Path Protect .1
Page Builder by SiteOrigin 2.4.6
QueryMonitor 2.10.0
SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle 1.5.11

Wordpress Version: 4.5
BuddyPress Version 2.52
X Theme

I’m unsure what I am doing wrong. I am using the X Theme and also using Magic Members plugin. I was finally able to set up the Login and Registration Pages. I signed out and did a test on Registering for a Free account (I am setting up a membership site).

I am able to Register okay but when I click Register it takes me to an Error Page. The same thing happens when I Login (I tried for the hell of it), I get an Error page. BUT, when I check my emails, I get a link to activate my account.

So, it is registering the information but I’m unsure why I am not getting an Activation page and when I confirm the account, I get another Error page.

I’m not sure if it’s my Theme, Magic members, BuddyPress (which I do not think it is), etc. If someone can at least direct me to what I may be doing wrong, I’d truly appreciate it! Thank you so much!

What is the best way to to echo the currently logged in users avatar, profile name, recent activity, and cover image that is usually found on the buddypress profile and put it in a sidebar created in the \activity\index.php?

Simply copying and pasting the contents from the memeber-header.php does not seem to work.

also how would I then be able to echo the same profile info but then place it on wordpress post pages and instead of using the currently logged in user use the profile info of the posts author?

I have searched everywhere for this info online and there is zero mention of how to do this o the internet.

ANyway would be awesome if got this to work.

Hello, I was wondering (okay, wishing) if there was a way to replace the author box on wordpress post pages and author archive pages with a buddypress info box with the authors username, recent activity, friends and count and a cover image and maybe even a add friend link

This would really help to conect both wordpress and buddypress together.

Any help on this would be awesome

thank you!

Hello,

By default BuddyPress uses the beginning of a blog post for the activity stream. How can I use the WordPress blog excerpt instead for posts that have an excerpt?

Thanks,
Michael
