BuddyPress.org

I just gave it a shot, you’re right. It works and it doesn’t. It doesn’t send notification emails to the user, nor does it send them notifications on-site. It also doesn’t make the username a clickable link. But it still shows up in the “Latest Update” portion in profiles.

How does it work on your end (or I suppose NOT work)? And if not a custom one, which WordPress theme are you using?

EDIT: Actually, I just woke up and realized that it works completely on my end. The latest update portion part confused me for a second because I remove that on my development websites and I’m not used to ever seeing it.

The above is a bit redundant now, but I’ll leave it. Can you say exactly what it is that you’re trying to do? Are you trying to remove the functionality of mentions when a user starts typing the @ symbol and the username?

It’s essentially a social network plugin for WordPress. Check out the about page: https://buddypress.org/about/

What else have you tried? There are very many posts on this subject in the forum archives that might suggest approaches to take, try a search through them for more information o9n this issue and what other people have tried or suggest as options.

You could install this plugin and see if it helps:

It’s not recommended to duplicate BP omponents.

Instead, consider this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddy-bbpress-support-topic/

If you can wait for BP 2.2, the new Member Type API which will be introduced will probably allow such kind of customization.

Member Type API

Note to myself: always remember information found on the dev blog 😉

@ad4m_wordpress Codex is another word for documentation, ‘codify’, here it’s the link on the main menu labelled ‘Documentation’ The WP documentation is also referred to as ‘The Codex’.

Your initial requirement would have been served by the simple use of one of the provided BP template tags e.g:
<?php echo bp_core_get_userlink(bp_loggedin_user_id()); ?>
which will render a fully formed link and also takes parameters.

I’m just trying to avoid paying $50 an hour to a programmer who will take 30 seconds to do this for me.

In that case you will need to learn to code! That is how you will avoid the skilled services of a developer 🙂

@ad4m_wordpress
On lines 471-474 in that plugins custom-login-redirect.php maybe try switching this:

<option value="">Default</option>
    <?php if (get_option('custom_login_redirect_display6','yes') == 'yes'){ ?>
	  <option value="<?php home_url ?>wp-admin/">Dashboard</option>
	<?php } ?>

To to something like this:

<option value="">My Profile Wall</option>
    <?php if (get_option('custom_login_redirect_display6','yes') == 'yes'){ ?>
	  <option value="<?php home_url . '/members/' . bp_core_get_username( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) . '/profile/' ?>My Profile Wall</option>
	<?php } ?>

Note that I haven’t tested this at all so test at your own discretion.

@ad4m_wordpress
Just out of curiosity what plugin are you referring to that creates this dropdown box on the login screen? Most plugins can be modified to suit your needs if you don’t mind editing the code.

@ad4m_wordpress
Not really sure what your trying to accomplish but you need to understand the dynamic nature when a user logs in and is redirected to their profile is in PHP language and there is no full html equivalent that could pull that info from the database to take that user to their profile.
I am certain you will have to use PHP to make this happen. If you copy and pasted the snippet in the link I supplied into bp-custom.php it shouldn’t take a few minutes and is very simple.

@ad4m_wordpress
See my snippet here for one solution:

Redirect logged out visitors to home, and logged in users to profile

@ad4m_wordpress Please check the BP Codex documentation you’ll find much of the information you seek there.

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

See the WP Codex to get the answer: codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress

The order of %1$s and %2$s is not important.

If you code directly your language into the string, you can write as usual RTL and place %2$s first write something, add %1$s and write another thing…

That said, and if you are using a RTL language like hebrew (as i suppose), you may have some special characters which are (perhaps) not recognized by gettext. And in this case you have to use unicode, in other words, HTML letters.

The orignal created a new Project is translated to יצר פרויקט חדש
But i don’t know much about hebrew (or persian or arabic) characters.
Search from here how to get rid of this:
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language
or see here:
http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/hebrew.html

And apologize if you use another RTL language.

That area is controlled by WordPress, not BuddyPress

Try this in bp-custom.php or your theme/functions.php

hi @thammavongsam,

Can you give details about

Because whenever we are posing anything its Creating a duplicate file

Which type of posting (blog post, status,….) ?
Which file is growing ? In a CMS like wordPress, nothing is added to files but only to DB 🙄

Forgot to mention that this can be made with CPT as soon as BP 2.2 is out.

About Post Types and BuddyPress Activities

@qasimilyas Apologies if I’m missing the point here, but isn’t this something you need to change in WordPress?

Uncheck ‘Allow people to post comments on new articles’ here:

/wp-admin/options-discussion.php

Of course for any articles you’ve already published you’re going to need to disable commenting individually by going into the posts and unchecking ‘Allow comments.’ under ‘Discussion’.

BP use only Name (aka nickname) and the WP registration process.

Unique name possible ? Not really

Hi @theofficialseoguru,

titling a support topic with Help please – How to…. is gentle, but ouf of need on a help forum. And for sure not a waranty to get help.

As you have an understanding problem of php, and a supposed theme issue, it would be very helpfull to give its name and some details where to show the avatar.

Apparently your theme use a custom function à la WordPress to get avatars. And this should work, in theory.

Have you synced wp users with bp in bp’s settings ?
Have you tested with one of wp’s default twenty theme ?

Depending where to show a user avatar, BuddyPress use different code. You can see this on most of the template files stored in /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

On the member header for example; you have bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'type=full' );
There is also a filter: bp_get_member_avatar;
So it really depends where and how you want your avatar… In a loop, outside of a loop, etc

Ah, and when you give a topic example, don’t forget to mention the link.

Except if you want to built an expert community, BuddyPress is not appropriate. This can be done with WordPress and some CPT’s…

See if this plugin can help you ! Old but working.

If your smtp is sending mails, read this topic, may be helpfull too !
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/notify-by-email-when-xprofile-updated/

First of, there is no BP account, it’s a WordPress account with extended information if you use the xprofile component.

When the user is logged in, any information related to him is on his profile, and in fact, this user is then considered a “member” with common user attribute (subscriber, author, and so on).

Now what ? You want a contest page where members can participate.
What do you need on this page ? User information and probably some contest answers.

I don’t see the problem you’re affraid of…. At this stage, a contest page or a group or a forum page is the same thing: a place to execute dynamically something related to a contest, a group or a forum. There is no difference for the (logged in) member itself.
Anything related to him is already on his profile page.

The difficulty, if ever it exist, is to collect the members who belong to the contest and to send the the xprofile form to the federation.

See if ContactForm7 allows you to send such a form, and perhaps create an additionnal profile tabs where you can add your contest credential, so you can easily extract this part and send it by mail.
