BuddyPress.org

@myg0t Thanks for sharing that with the community, S2 Member has wide use so this ought to be useful to people.

One point though it’s best not to advise that people edit a core file /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/..etc BP has a fairly well defined template hierarchy overload allowing files to be copied to the theme or child theme, those are the copies one should edit.

Another minor point rather than have to edit & pass the arguments in the template could bp_parse_args() perhaps work for this?
Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

In respect of the profile data would not setting the user visibility options on the profile field/s in the backend not work to provide the privacy for address fields, just a thought but I may have missed the point of this aspect.

Lastly this could make a nice user example guide for the BP codex if you’d care to post it there and we’ll slot it under a section appropriate.

Hi @zemenik

Have you tried searching the WordPress Themes Directory? Perhaps search for something like “rtl language support” or just “rtl” and look through the results retuned for themes that are compatible with BuddyPress.

Integrating phpbb with BuddyPress would be a lot of work and would require a good developer with strong knowledge of both BP and phpbb.

I’m not aware of any plugin that bridges phpBB with WP and BuddyPress.

This might get you part of the way.

You’ll have to deregister them and then re-register them ensuring the fifth param of wp_register_script() is set to true

Note: Careful things don’t break as a result of moving scripts to the footer.

There are several plugins for that.
Do a search for front end post.

Switching from multisite to normal flavour WordPress looks kind of complicated. I came across http://wpebooks.com/2010/09/how-to-enable-multisite-in-wordpress/ from a good source (see page 24 of the PDF).

Make backups of everything first. 🙂

I dont quite understand what you mean tbh about page refreshes when clicking a link or menu item? that is how web pages tend to work in general lol 🙂

However i do understand what you are saying about what you want to achieve, but you have to realize one thing first, if something doesnt work as your brain imagines it to work out of the box it does not mean you cannot make it work that way, as hugo said you should be really looking towards ajaxing certain parts of your website to acheive what you asked (you said you have no idea what ajaxing is yet you only need to type it in google to find out and read a few articles on what exactly ajaxing does to find out), ajaxing basically will let you do exactly what you are describing, you can read about it here https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX

There are quite alot of wordpress ajax plugins around i have messed around with myself with mixed results when used with wordpress and buddypress, i suggest reading the link above then searching for a few ajax plugins and try them out for yourself 🙂

Hi @somethingelse

Have you ever thought about a custom solution using user meta? Something like:

// Hook this to a particular action.
update_user_meta( get_current_user_id(), 'active', current_time( 'mysql' ) );

Then you’d get that for display using something like this:

// $last_active will be a date-time string.
$last_active = get_user_meta( get_current_user_id(), 'active', true );

Having the same issue. Still no help from the devs? This seems to be very common. I’ve tried all the solutions I’ve been able to find… no luck with any of them. Using WordPress 4.0 integrated with Bootstrap 3.3 on a local dev site.

@joetheboss1998 First, please do not edit core files as these will be overwritten when you upgrade BuddyPress. Second, you’re looking at the wrong file.

Create a folder named buddypress at the root of your active theme/child theme folder then copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.1.1/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php and place that within the buddypress folder created earlier following the directory structure, i.e., wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder/buddypress/members/register.php

I must admit, the template hierarchy was slightly confusing at first for me too but once you get your head around it, it is a very powerful way of using templates. It works similarly to the WordPress template hierarchy if that helps.

Hi @enigmaweb

You have a couple of options regarding your requirements here.

1. You could try searching the Plugin Directory to see if anything is available that meets your needs. If nothing then you could try option 2…

2. Implement a custom solution yourself. Restricting content is fairly easy if you make use of some WordPress functions such as current_user_can() and wp_redirect(). You’ll also need to make yourself familiar with hooks. Here’s a very basic example of how to restrict content depending on a particular user’s role.

function my_restrict_content() {

    // Check if the current page is the group creation page AND the currently logged-in user is a subscriber
    if ( bp_is_group_create() && current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) )
        return;

    // If we get to here, the current user is not authorised to view this content so redirect them to the homepage.
    wp_redirect( home_url() );
    exit;
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_restrict_content' );
