BuddyPress.org

Warning: I haven’t tested this or thought it through and I’m half asleep..

For starters, if you have ftp access rename the buddypress plugin folder to something else like ‘temp-buddypress’

Log into admin panel, switch themes to twentyfifteen.

Rename buddypress back to its original name.

Check your site and admin panel to see if buddypress is working with twentyfifteen.

Here’s some troubleshooting advice from wordpress..

WordPress Codex: Login Trouble

Hi,
seems a good idea, and as WP is now responsible of over 25% websites, using such a tool in a WP environment could be interesting.
That said, you’re not alone to think ! 😉 2 plugins are avaible:

Hi,

you need to use bbpress.po translation file, even if your site is in default english language.
Or if you only want to modify one word, you can use this snippet from inside your child-theme’s functions.php (will also work in bp-custom.php)

function bruce_change_name( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
		
	if ( 'bbpress' !== $domain )  
	return $translated; 
	
	switch ( $original_text ) {
		
		case 'Forums':  // original word
		return 'Four Rhum'; // your custom word
		
		default:
		return $translated;
	}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'bruce_change_name', 10, 3 );

@henrywright,
Are you sure this is a bbPress thing ? In the profile of a standard WordPress/bbPress install, I don’t seem to have a ‘Forum’ button in my profile.
Pascal.

do you mean remove something into de plugin code?

No.

remove_action() is a function that lets you remove an action hook. Try reading up on WordPress actions; they’re a way to modify behaviour without editing core files.

Try finding the BuddyPress redirect and check if it’s removable. remove_action() might be handy in this situation, depending on how the redirect is coded.

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

The idea here would be to hook in to an action that fires after the join group event. Check out add_action() which should help you do that. You’d use bp_core_redirect() inside your custom function.

Hoping this helps?

Nice work @djpaul, looking forward to bp_send_email() being available. Ref: 6592#29

….somehow I had the impression that private had also worked for authors before the update….but thats another thing”

and

In my application sofar all members are editors (and currently planned to be editors),

The last sentence is wrong, I actually intended sofar all members to be authors (Autor in german) not editors (Redakteur in german).

I wrote the first sentence because before Shane’s comment I am pretty sure that I had tested wether the private pages are visible for authors and not only for editors or admins and thus I am pretty sure that they were so before. It is just that after Shane’s comment I wanted to check back. Unfortunately before I could check back there was an
automatic wordpress update, which now unfortunately screwed up the intended application.

there’s no need actually the user list is the same (wordpress’) and buddypress does not have any forum functionality other than compatibility with what bbpress provides.
