Hi @manag99

This can definitely be implemented with BuddyPress but you’ll need to use plugins and or custom code because what you need to happen doesn’t happen out-of-the-box. Try searching the WordPress Plugin Directory for individual plugins and then try them out on a test install.

From what I recall, BP uses the bp_xprofile_data table to store the display name, field_id = 1, for each user.

There is a BP setting for syncing BP and WP profiles.
Some info on what that does:

Re profile edit handling code: Look at function save() in class BP_XProfile_ProfileData in bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-classes.php

Thanks for reporting, @qobalt.

Looking into it.

Update

This fix should work:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5900/5900.01.patch

@androidforlife46 – I split your reply from the main 2.1 thread because your issues should have been placed in a new topic.

As for your issue, I’m guessing you are using a bp-default deriviative for your theme. There was an issue with javascript breaking on these themes.

For an interim fix, see:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.01.patch

If you’re using a bp-default theme, you should use this fix instead:
https://github.com/buddypress/BP-Default/commit/619efe8527847266c961fa43775eade42c7ff70d

Hi there,

I face the same problem.

Buddypres: 2.1
Wordpress: 4.0
Theme: TwentyFourteen

As of BuddyPress 1.7, you no longer need to make a child theme of bp-default to make your changes.

Follow this guide:

Theme Compatibility – Customizing

This is an example of customizing the Twenty Twelve theme:

Twenty Twelve Theme

Hi @prometheus-fire

The core team are aware of the problem. See here for the fix:

Problems with activity stream ?
Please read here:
Changes to bp_has_activities() queries in BP 2.1

@marcella1981 – You should read this article about activity pagination on the BP development blog:
Changes to bp_has_activities() queries in BP 2.1

@dhuntsha Just open up the file/s you made changes in and revert the changes. Then download zip file of BP 2.0.3 near the bottom of this page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.3, unzip it, and upload the files to your server via s/FTP.

Salutation is pointing the finger at v.2.1

@forlath Salutation needs to be updated for compatibility with BP 2.1 or the solution might just be this patch https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.01.patch

Thanks. I was trying to edit the file shown in this post:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.01.patch

I only added the, “wp_enqueue….” line and went to update the file and now nothing works. The entire site won’t load, and I can’t login to wordpress.

Yikes. I guess I’ll need to call my main website host provider ‘Bluehost’ to get some help. I have no clue what I did wrong. Thanks.

@willandmae You’re welcome! Took me a Sunday to figure out properly …

So… I opened my very first, corresponding ticket and pull request. Hope that helps.

bp-default is on the way to be removed from BP to became a independant theme…. No idea how and when, but if you want that issue be solved, thought you have to open a ticket on Trac.

BP Default Theme – moving forward with BP 1.9

Concerning any child-theme user:

BP 2.1 use CSS minifying, so if you use a buddypress.css file within your child, you have to rename this file buddypress.min.css or better, you minify really that file (eg. online tinyfier)

By doing so, you’ll prevent some site parts to be incorrectly displayed. And perhaps help some scripts to run the right way after 2.1 update.

Hi Everyone, and @imath thanks for all your awesome contributions to BuddyPress!!

On the topic of media, I wanted to point some attention to BuddyDev, so everyone who is interested in a BuddyPress media plugin can support his MediaPress efforts.

I’ve used every media plugin I could get my hands on and it currently boils down to two;

1. RT Media: (+) A lot of great features, mostly free, support for free version. (-)Very buggy, interferers with other plugins, caused site wide performance issues (for me).
2. BP Gallery (+) Simple, easy. (-) Need to pay for it or get a membership. I found a small mobile upload bug.
(Kinda 3). BP Album: No longer supported and it’s Googlecode page ironically is missing all it’s media.

So, a third option I’m sure would be widely appreciated. He’s saying it will always be free and hook into current WordPress media functionality, so I’m excited! Here’s the link for those interested, http://buddydev.com/mediapress/

I think this might be a bug with the new BuddyPress 2.1. I’ve been experiencing the same problem since the update and it seems to occur randomly.

I’ve tested it across multiple profiles and on different computer and it’s hit or miss. I’m running WordPress 4.0, the default 2014 theme, and BuddyPress 2.1.

Just wanted to chime in because I’m experience the same issue with the default 2014 theme.

Hi together,

looks as progress like @mentions were forgotten to get ported back to good ol’ bp-default.

In bp-activity/js/mentions.js you’ll find on what elements @mentions should work:

// Activity/reply, post comments, dashboard post 'text' editor.
$( '<strong>.bp-suggestions</strong>, #comments form textarea, .wp-editor-area' ).bp_mentions( users );

Here’s how to get @mentions working for bp-default theme:

1) Prevent JavaScript errors occurring by inaccurate enqueued scripts – apply this patch: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5889#comment:6

2) Extend textareas by missing class ‘bp-suggestions’. Change bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php:30 to

<textarea class="bp-suggestions" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"><?php if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) : ?>@<?php echo esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); ?> <?php endif; ?></textarea>

and bp-themes/bp-default/activity/entry.php:100 to

<textarea id="ac-input-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>" class="ac-input bp-suggestions" name="ac_input_<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>"></textarea>

@danbp How can we make sure this will considered for a 2.1.1 release?

Thanks and regards

Confirmed.

BP’s xProfile component is not intended to be used as text editor, like the one you use to publish posts.

So far i know, ACF plugin doesn’t handle xprofile fields. But you can use it on Group component.
