BuddyPress.org

@durkk,

are you speaking about this wordpress add-on ?
You must have at least PrivateContent v2.3 to use it !

i would try something different.

Create a page for each student and set it to private, with a password which you give to the student.
With the password they can access to the page. This is a WP native behave.

It would not be very difficult after that to include such a page in each profile.

To write your summary or summaries, adapted to each student, or any other text, you could use @imath ‘s wp-manual.

You could also publish courses in PDF and use the buddydrive plugin. Your course will then be listed on your profile, depending your buddydrive visibility settings (public, private, friends, members….).

I think this can be reasonnably be used if you have few students, but if you have more than 50 you have to use a better adapted solution.

I don’t understand why you obstinatly want to write bios on wordpress (inactive when BP is activated) when you can do that with xprofile !

On the register page you have a single line text area field. Why don’t you use a multiline area for doing this ?
field type = Multi-line Text Area.
Entered text will then appear on user’s profile !

The function you want to use cannot work, as it contain errors.

Sorry to tell, but I think you have to learn some php and buddypress handling before going to reinvent the wheel or making things you don’t really understand.

Some good reads here, and many others on the forum.

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

Shortcodes are used by WordPress since version 2.5.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode
https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

To use the above snippet, you copy/paste it into your child-theme functions.php.
And you use the shortcode like this [myprofileurl] within post or comments.

Bla bla bla [myprofileurl] bla bla… will print out Bla bla bla My Profile bla bla…

I hope for you that you want to write something else before My profile as bla bla bla 😉

Thank you for your reply @bookclubreader.

But the first topic is related to Contact Form 7, and your soluce applies to that plugin ONLY.
Also, the tip you linked to use a core file hack, and this is absolutely not to do.

If users who don’t use that plugin go to remove both filters, their emails won’t NEVER be send i guess.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/wp_mail_from

For thoose who want to modify the default sender name (from), typically wordpress@yourdomain to something else, use these snippets and put them into your child-theme functions.php

//notification mail  From email field
function custom_email_from($mail) {
	$mail = 'your_email@addre.ss'; // Replace the email address here //
	return $mail;
}
add_filter('wp_mail_from','custom_email_from');

//notification mail From name field - optional

function custom_email_from_name($name) {
	$name = get_bloginfo('name');//or any other text
	return $name;
}
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name','custom_email_from_name');

MOD EDIT: Topic moved into Third Party Plugins section

I spoke too soon. I found the answer here – Contact Form 7 – From Name Incorrect

Here’s what solved it for me:

remove_filter('wp_mail_from', 'bp_core_email_from_address_filter' );
remove_filter('wp_mail_from_name', 'bp_core_email_from_name_filter');

I added this to my function file. If you have Genesis Extender, it’s easy to do.

Q. 4:
BuddyPress wordings can easily be changed by using a language file, even if your site is in english.

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Q.2:
When buddypress is activated with the xprofile component, the wordpress register form is not used, except for username, password and email part.
xprofile let you extend this wp form. And if you need a bio field, you create multiline text field and call it Biography. So simple as that.

Q.1
no comprendo ! What do you mean exactly ?

Latest WP and BP maybe enough for a daily forum usage. But imagine people reading your topic in 6 mounth or in 2 years… Give the version number please. And give also the used theme type/name.

@sokrates,

the ticket is fixed and closed since 19 mounth.
If you follow the last IRC discussion around this ticket – 7 mounth ago – you’ll see that the issue cames again, and a new fix was added.

Also from IRC, test this setting.

Anyway, if you think the issue is still there, feel free to open a new ticket and give the steps to reproduce. Follow Boone’s instructions

Login to Trac use the same credentials as bp.org forum.

In fact it sounds like this issue from 3 yrs ago: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3725

@juanmgonzalez,

thank you for your reply !
The php GD2 library is necessary on your server to handle images.

To all readers:

In case of issues with common image handling and/or image cropping, ensure that your php has GD library enabled.

On hosted servers, it is generally the case, but not on local with WAMP for example.

Making a phpinfo will help you.

Is this something that will be able to happen in the 2.1 version?

No !
If you readed sarah’s post, ou have seen a mention to a post by Andrew Nacin on the Make (published 2013/28/07) where he writes:

A disclaimer: This post doesn’t promise anything. Do not rely on the contents of this post for future projects. It will take us some time to lay out the proper groundwork and make sure we get this right. Do not expect this to happen in WordPress 3.7, or even 3.8. (Actually, do not expect this to happen at all.)

Nothing about taxonomies is annonced for WP 4.0, so don’t expect that BP 2.1 will get something around taxo before WP.

You may use BP Group Taxo – as experimental plugin. 😉

It might be part of the 2.1 release, but more likely the 2.2 release.

Hi, Just in case it’s of use….

I’m a bit of a BP newb, and I’m using a fresh install of WP 3.9.2 and BP 2.0.1

I’m using a Gravity form as a registration form with the GravityForms User Registration add-on to register BuddyPress users.

As a newb, I have been experimenting a lot with the XProfile fields, and also noticed that at some stage of the proceedings, I had made a change that resulted in the same problem as in the first post – the WordPress last name value was deleted and the firstname field was set to the nicename when the update profile button was pressed.

I had changed the primary field in the XProfile fields from “Name”.

Replacing the primary field as Name, and mapping the “full name” field from the Gravity form to this field in the Gravity User Registration add-on screen seems to solve it for me

@vajrasar,

the missing field belongs to the wordpress part of the register page.
Check your wp / bp settings (allow user to register) and on BP settings check profile syncing with wordpress users.

Source code tells also this when only highlighting the link you mention

<link href=”data:image/png;base64 … followed by a very long encrypted code block.

I would suggest to check for such a base64 in all theme files, just in case of you’re victim of a malicious injection or simply use some wrong code in your beta plugin.

Your site is loading slow and with such encoded png’s the culprit is probably the images.

Hi !

I recently changed my WordPress Theme to ” Customizer ” and this error message crops up at the bottom of every page thereafter.

Disabling the plugin : Social Login ” of Login Radius makes it go away…

So, either the theme or the [plugin is causing this….

Alll solutions appreciated !

Oh ? Awesome !
And have you inserted the register form ?

Create A Responsive Pop-up Login Box for WordPress

or use a plugin.

hi @peti446,

Sorry, this is not clear:

to send buddypress information to register it then

Do you want to make a register page ?

The register template is here: /buddyress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/members/register.php

Register and Activation Pages

Other information about registering are on the WP codex.

OK. I have the same issue as quite a few users. I went to the themes area and activated Twenty Fourteen. It still doesn’t work. I changed to Anyone Can Register, still doesn’t work. Added an htaccess.txt file with the WP code found on the wordpress site. Overall I spent the better part of the day with issues. I cannot access the register page, it is using blurbble/register even though I set the Permalink to Postname like http://blurbble.com/index.php/sample-post/ . I uninstalled and reinstalled buddypress and still nothing. If any help could be given it would be appreciated.

@evilben,

go to dashboard > users > profile fields.
Required field on registration form should be added to the NAME field group.
There is a date field type for birthdates. Set it to required, viewable by everyone

For the TOS read here

Another solution here (not tested)

Hi @yamaryam,

What is recommended ? No clue ! Don’t make mistake ? Don’t forget the milk bottle ? 😉

The theory

1) install / configure WordPress
2) activate 2014 theme
3) checking every thing is ok
4) activate network
5) checking every thing is ok
6) install / configure BuddyPress
7) checking every thing is ok
8) enjoy your dashboard: one for the main site and one for the network
9) don’t forget the milk bottle

Headache ?

@ayatango,

golden rule: never change a core file.

If you want to customize things you should use a child theme. And to ad/remove or modify core functions, you should use your child theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php

In create.php are 18 hooks you can use to add some custom explanation !
In your case, you may hook into do_action( 'bp_before_group_details_creation_step' );

@thatmtnman

Is that correct? YES !

The rest of your topic, even if respectable, is a bit due to your inhabitude of BP i guess. And probably also of some WP usage around pages.
You can create as many pages as you want with WP. The difference between a page and post in WP is tiny, but very important. Both are post, but not with the same type ($post_type->post and $post_type->page). All this is detailled on the WP Codex.

BuddyPress is a plugin and use his component pages only for internal puprpose – because WP need them to work with BP… and conversely!

BP is shipped with some widgets, including a member’s widget with 3 filters letting you do exactly what you discribe.

For other custom use of buddypress, you can search for dedicated buddypress plugins on the plugin repo.
