    wordpress:4.4 buddypress:2.4.3 theme: TwentyFourteen
    website:BakoBookNerds.com

    I run a site for my book club BakoBookNerds.com. I have many non-computer-savvy members who require idiot-proof user control.

    First, let me quickly explain how my users are currently setup.

    I had to allow immediate access for new registered users because many kept thinking they did it wrong when their login wouldn’t work right away. So I disabled the approval-needed portion of signup. Instead, I use a plugin that allows me to approve their access. All registered users can now login immediately but the user role for new members is extremely restricted until I approve them.

    Each member has to be able to talk to each other and so i also added a automatic-friends plugin so that they can be linked without having to take that extra step. (I would also be okay with friends being removed completely since the group is fairly small -if that is an option??) Each of their personal information is listed in their profiles so I don’t want that information becoming viewable to new members until they have gotten past the probationary period.

    What I need is this:

    I need a newly registered user to still have immediate access to their logins. But until I approve them, or update their user roles, I don’t want them to be able to see the other member’s profiles. They can still have a profile, and participate in forums, and stuff.. I just don’t want them gaining access to user profiles -with contact info, etc- until we know they are a real person who is really wanting to join our book club, and not just a bored internet troll.

    I already have user access plugins in place for member-only posts & stuff but the other member profiles become viewable to anyone who is logged in. Since the members wont use the “friend” function, I have linked them all as friends automatically so restricting users to friends only doesn’t work…. they all still see it anyway. (before you suggest removing the friends plugin…. If I were to remove automatic-friends, and change profile privacy to friends-only, since none of my users would add friends, then no one would be able to view eachother’s contact info via their profiles…) That was the only reason to link all users as friends automatically. But with new members its become an issue.

    So. Anyone have any suggestions? Plugins that would work? etc?

    Is there a function or plugin that would take care of all of this for me? I might have over complicated my website with too many plugins. If there is a plugin that does all of the above I can just use the one.

    You could activate some kind of registration honeypot to keep the spam bots out. This technique has worked well for me in the past.

    Example: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/registration-honeypot/

    Regarding the confirmation email problem, this seems to be a common problem and one that isn’t easily solved. Many things can result in email going into spam, most are usually related to your mail server setup or the user’s own spam filter settings.

    I’m pleased to announce my new plugin Buddy Progress Bar !

    A BuddyPress plugin that use a point system to display a progress bar or progress percentage for any of completed member’s xprofile fields and/or uploaded custom avatar.

    Buddy Progress Bar helps any site administrator to kindly remember his community members to complete their profile in a clear, significant and non-obstrusive way.

    A widget is also available, which let you show a progress bar outside of the positions you can activate in the settings. To get this plugin to work, BuddyPress xprofile component must be active.

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, not sure from your description whether or not you have already created a child theme with your own CSS file?

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    You can just make all your styling changes in that instead of copying various whole CSS files from the BuddyPress folders (and your changes will be kept whenever WP or BP are updated).

    Also double check the box for cover photo is ticked on your WP dashboard if you want your users to be able to use them.

    Hi there

    I run WordPress 4.4, BuddyPress 2.4.3, the issue happens with Twenty Sixteen as well, http://209.95.63.190/~runninghour/.

    I get this weird redirect on only few of the members if I click on to their name in the members list.

    At hover it shows http://www.website.com/members/bp which is the correct link, after clicking on the link I get sent to http://www.website.com/about-us/bp

    Like I said, this happen only to a few members, with the others I get send to their profile page as intended.

    Any ideas why this is happening?

    Thank you

    Hi All,

    In my website “http://wormpack.com”, users cannot create a group, though all the options that have to be checked are done.
    In profile, the option “Create a group” is throwing 404 error.
    I narrowed down the cause which says that we need to “Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory.”. So for, User groups I need to select “Groups” page but unfortunately that option is not there.

    Can anyone explain why its not there and give solution, so that users can create there own groups.

    WP version- 4.3.1
    BP version- 2.3.5

    Thanks

    In fact I have found a reasonable solution using CSS. I found some key clues on in the support forum for this plugin: Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type (though I’m not using that plugin).

    If anyone has any advice about how to improve this I would be glad to hear it. Thanks

    /* Buddypress profile field description position*/
    .editfield {
    position: relative;
    top: 5px;
    }
    .editfield label {
    font-weight:bold;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
    }
    .input field_4 {
    margin-top: 5px;
    }

    form.standard-form p.description {
    margin: 0 0 15px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 20px;
    line-height:1em;
    }

    Hi all,

    I have been trying to add Favourites for the logged in user to the sidebar.
    I have created a simple plugin that adds a widget to the sidebar, the problem is I cannot make the widget show activities or favourites in its content.

    I took the widget code from wordpress codex I guess:
    Here’s the part that should show the content:


    // Creating widget front-end
    // This is where the action happens
    public function widget( $args, $instance ) {
    $title = apply_filters( 'widget_title', $instance['title'] );

    // before and after widget arguments are defined by themes
    echo $args['before_widget'];
    if ( ! empty( $title ) )
    echo $args['before_title'] . $title . $args['after_title'];

    // This is where you run the code and display the output
    echo __( 'my user id is: ', 'wpb_widget_domain' );
    echo bp_loggedin_user_id();
    // the above 2 lines make it show my user id, this is just for testing

    // here I want to add my favourites, I found this to filter the activities
    // if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ).'&scope=favourites' ) ) :
    // but I don't know how to place it here, whatever way I try it either returns an error or nothing

    if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ).'&scope=favourites' ) ) :

    echo $args['after_widget'];
    }

    Can you please tell me how to make it.

    Thank you!
    Leo

    Hi,

    generally, a 508 error means that your website is hitting one or more of the hosting account’s virtual resource limits: CPU Usage, RAM Usage, I/O usage or Entry Processes.

    first thing to check is your server ressources. Use phpinfo() to get thoose information.

    Then compare with minimum requirements for a WordPress/BuddyPress install.

    In the meantime, open wp-config.php and activate debug mode (set it from false to true) and see if you receive some notices or warnings.

    If you get a php error, such as a missing tag, you have to repair that. Or upload a new copy of an eventually mentionned file. Or if you did some custom coding somewhere, remove it or revert back…

    If there is no error mentionned, it is your host plan which is not taylored for WordPress/BuddyPress. In this case, you have to change your host or plan, if you want to use the full power of WP !

    You will be confortable with at least php 5.5 and a memory_limit of 64 mb

    Wordpress 4.4
    Buddypress 2.4.2

    Is it possible to place the description of a profile field underneath the field title (preferably using CSS)?

    Thanks

    I’m just starting to use bp-custom.php and trying to add a new tab to the BP menu.
    For some reason any changes I make to this function does not effect anything.
    Not even the order of other tabs. My bp-custom.php file is in wp-content/plugins.
    I must be missing something simple.

    <?php
    function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
    global $bp;

    $bp->bp_nav[‘profile’][‘position’] = 10;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘activity’][‘position’] = 20;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘blogs’][‘position’] = 30;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘friends’][‘position’] = 40;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘messages’][‘position’] = 50;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘groups’][‘position’] = 60;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘settings’][‘position’] = 70;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘characters’][‘position’] = 80;
    }
    add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );
    ?>

    Hi Valuser,
    That’s exactly what I mean Valuser. The way they do it right now is by using third party plugins called BP Multinetwork by segregating databases for every subsite.

    My idea is that, it need not be segregated to achieve this. Actually, WordPress does this very well with Multisite. Buddypress can do it too if it stored the blog ID value in database for every activity captured, groups and members. That way you can design options to filter members of the present site, activity and groups that can all have separate and sitewide data. This way they don’t have to segregate database by the BP Multinetwork plugin and still have separate activity, groups and members. Better thing is you can “Internetwork”. Which means, you can have a group that is subsite specific and still build an option to share it with another subsite/main site as well, within the network/multinetwork platform.

    Thanks Henry. I’ve got more info on this to help the core team fix this issue.

    I think all WordPress conditionals are not working correctly inside the bp_after_has_activities_parse_args filter. Only BuddyPress conditionals are working inside it.

    I also have custom member pages too using bp_after_has_members_parse_args, but WordPress conditionals inside that are all working fine, example:

    // filter member pages
    function cm_members_filter( $retval ) {
    
    	if ( is_page('custom-page-3') ) {
    		$retval['per_page'] = 1;
    	}	
    	
    	if ( is_page('custom-page-4') ) {
    		$retval['per_page'] = 5;
    	}	
    	
    	if ( is_search() ) {  
    		$retval['per_page'] = 3;
    	}	
    		
        return $retval;
    }
    add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'cm_members_filter' );

    It is just the activity parse args that is having problems with WordPress conditionals. I can provide further info to help figure out why WordPress conditionals don’t work correctly inside bp_after_has_activities_parse_args, it has something to do with the way ajax is used on the load more button to load more items:

    If I remove activity ajax features by removing <div class=”activity”></div> or by removing bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.min.js. The load more button now works like a pagination next page button (similar to the members directory pagination). This makes the WordPress conditionals work fine and all my custom activity pages are now filtering correctly.

    So to conclude, WordPress conditionals are working OK inside bp_after_has_members_parse_args, but they are not working correctly inside bp_after_has_activities_parse_args unless the activity ajax is removed.

    This is a generic WordPress error telling you it has ran out of allocated memory, the typical fix is in increase the memory size in your PHP.ini file though you may need the advice of your hosting provider as to exactly how you will do that.

    Here is a typical setting

    memory_limit = 256M

    I actually didn’t know about that, I’m fairly new to WordPress. I’ll certainly update that and the companion queries that go with it once I can get this function sorted out.

    I’m wondering why you’re writing a custom query to get user meta? That’s what the get_user_meta() function is for.

    is_page() has been problematic for me in the past (when using with BuddyPress) but I thought those problems had been resolved. Feel free to open a Trac ticket for this.

    When you say posts, do you mean WordPress posts, or BuddyPress activity items? Both “streams” are different and will require different solutions.

    Buddypress profile is completely messed up, I get a 404 everytime I try to access anything related to the user profile. Is like everything specific to the user is broken, gives a 404 (that I have as a redirect to homepage)

    site: http://pearhel.elitepreviews.com/
    Wordpress 4.4
    Buddypress 2.4.3
    Theme: wplms 1.9.9.1 child

    What is broken:
    /accounts/username/
    /accounts/username/dashboard
    accounts/username/course/course-results
    accounts/username/course/course-stats
    accounts/username/course/instructor-courses
    /accounts/username/profile
    /accounts/username/notifications
    /accounts/username/message
    /accounts/username/friends
    accounts/username/settings
    accounts/username/groups/<tabs>
    accounts/username/forums/<tabs>

    what works:
    accounts/
    accounts/username/course/
    accounts/username/activity/
    accounts/username/activity/groups/
    accounts/username/groups
    accounts/username/forums

    I noticed 8 hours ago that the user profile on the front end is broken and since then I’ve tried:
    De-installing latest update
    Deactivated multilanguage pluggins and all third party pluggins not related to the theme.
    Re-installing plugin
    Re-updating plugin
    Permalinks redo at least 20 times
    HTaccess deleted and redo at least another 10 times
    Created a new page to show members… the member list works but I can’t access any profile, it gives a 404 (that right now is setup as a redirect)
    Tried every single setting on budypress

    Need so much help… hopefully someone can help me out on time =( or I get to figure why…
