BuddyPress.org

Hi @icaroferreira

That’s how your theme styles the page. It’s done via HTML and CSS. Regarding your question, you have a few options:

1. Write HTML and CSS yourself so that the style looks the same. See here and here for a guide to get you started
2. Find a theme from the Themes Directory that does this for you. Note that you’ll want a theme that includes styles for the BuddyPress profile page (unfortunately, there’s not many around right now but more and more are slowly being released)
3. Hire a designer to write some custom styles. The BP Jobs Forum is a good place to start if you decide to take this option.

Hi @yokosix

comments_template() will work inside page.php or single.php

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comments_template

By default Buddypress doesn’t have it’s own Login or Forgot Password pages. The behaviour of your site is correct. You could create your own page templates for separate pages, or use a plugin something like this:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/clean-login/ or
https://wordpress.org/plugins/zm-ajax-login-register/

To redirect users on login/logout:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/

BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair…..Please help me, i,m new to this but i have applied all the solutions i got here and still not working, i even created the page as one of you guys said in one post, but the page is just there like normal page without written content. please help me

@icaroferreira
1. Those are the default settings. Logging in and Registering are related but have totally different functions. What exactly is the issue you find with the current settings? BuddyPress has a log in widget which you can add to your sidebar area so that people can just log in in the front end of your site.

2. Check out style960’s recommendation above. If that doesn’t work for you, there are plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-brand-identity-lite/ which can help you customize the toolbar in your site or you can search for other admin bar or toolbar plugins which cater to what you need at https://wordpress.org/plugins/

@king-generous Are you using any of the following:

A theme with a custom login page?
A plugin to create a custom login page?
A plugin to change the URL of the WordPress login page?

Buddypress uses the standard WordPress login page at http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php

Paul.

@icaroferraira For toolbar modifications I would recommend WP Symposium Toolbar – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-symposium-toolbar/

You can decide which WordPress roles should see which toolbar items, and create custom menus of your own should you want to.

We can’t help with validating the translations on translate.wordpress.org. I am not sure who manages the Persian translations. If you can’t find out either, ask on https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

Thank you for contributing translations to BuddyPress 🙂

Well.. I haven’t updated Welcome Pack since 2011-12-4, and that was when WordPress about version 3.3.1 :). Parts of the plugin might still work, but I doubt everything is going to work perfectly.

@destac
Sarcasm will not get you far on this forum so how do you figure you can fire anyone being that this forum is volunteer based? If you would like to hire a pro then post it on the jobs board here: https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/
or here: http://jobs.wordpress.net/https://buddypress.org/support/reply/228048/edit/ Then you can be more demanding because you are paying someone to fix your issues.
If you expect volunteer help from here then I suggest that you refrain from using sarcastic remarks on the forums otherwise you may push people away from helping you because nobody likes a smart a** and if you are so smart then you can fix your own problems! Happy Halloween!

Here’s a list of all of the changes made in BP 2.1.1 (from version 2.1):

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&group=resolution&milestone=2.1.1

From a regular users point of view, I find it unlikely they’ll even bother to acknowledge new email notifications,

Agreed but I think it depends somewhat on the community. I can see email alerts being highly useful in some communities and not so useful elsewhere.

BuddyPress is first and foremost a platform. It puts foundations in place for people to build on (hence why we have plugins and themes). The Live Notifications plugin is a good example. It makes use of the bp_notifications database table put in place by BuddyPress. If a webmaster wants to have ‘live’ notification functionality, then they can use that particular plugin. Keep in mind some webmasters may have no need for live notifications and may not want them on their site. Each (WordPress) AJAX request makes a call to admin-ajax.php – which results in a very slight delay in page load speed due to the extra processing required. This delay might not be very noticeable on sites with low activity or extremely powerful servers, but could be very noticeable on a site using a clunky hosting infrastructure or on a site with tons of activity. Imagine packing feature after feature into core by default – it would bloat the plugin unnecessarily.

Hi @style960

Email notifications are fired off instantly (unless queued by your mail server). Web notifications (as you’ve noticed) need a page refresh by default. Ajax would need to be put into place in order for them to become ‘live’. You can request this feature over at Trac but there’s no guarantee the functionality will make it into core.

Hope that helps!

I’m facing the same problem. Just installed WP on Virtualbox with Vagrant (VVV WordPress), created WPMU and then added the BuddyPress Multi Network plugin. All plain and clean, latest versions, no other whistles and bells.
Admin is marked as spammer, but status is green (active, not red(spammer)).

BuddyPress Like might not be what you want but I thought I’d point it out. You can customise the ‘like’ text via the WordPress admin area.

We don’t have our own option for that. Use WordPress’ “allow registration” option which I think is in wp-admin > Settings > Reading.

Regarding the bar, no. Again, it’s WordPress’ bar, and there are probably helper plugins which will turn it off for you (or code snippets); you should be able to find something on Google pretty easily.

Contribute to the translation on https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev and then, eventually, your WordPress will download the updated translation automatically. 🙂

Great, glad that fixed it! You can see the list of WP actions here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference.

To limit this redirect just to the home page update it to something like this:

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_visitors' );
function redirect_visitors() {
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() && is_front_page() ) {
	wp_redirect( site_url() . '/my-site-registration' );
        exit;
   }
}

Hey @professornate! Thanks for posting in the forums!

The issue you are seeing here is a result of some BuddyPress assets not loading. The site is throwing a Javascript error and that is preventing the page from loading.

First thing to try here is to deactivate and reactivate the BuddyPress plugin. If the issue persists, try changing your theme to one of the default WordPress themes (say, twentytwelve). I’m virtually certain that one of those steps will fix the issue. Let me know if it doesn’t.

If the issue is fixed by switching the theme to twentytwelve, try switching it back to your current theme. If the issue comes back, then there is something up with the theme and you should try re-installing it.

More fun with “bp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly.” I tracked it down to the plugin Buddypress Wall in our site. See: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-warning-and-fix-bp_setup_current_user
