BuddyPress.org

I think to avoid conflict you can add

add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );

in your child theme function.php file.

For more info visit the following link.

BP Theme Authors: make sure your theme registers 'buddypress' support

Hope this would help others in the community.

Hi @becks-star

bp_profile_after_header isn’t a function. It’s an action hook. You would usually write a function of your own and ‘hook’ it to bp_profile_after_header.

For example:

function my_callback() {
    // Do something amazing...
}
add_action( 'bp_profile_after_header', 'my_callback' );

You can read more about hooks here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks

Hi @lerroy,

try this plugin
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forget-username-ajax

Hi @brodskis,

there is an old plugin who may already work with 2.x (not tested)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-portfolio/

and this one, but as profile widget
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-widgets/

Hi @brodskis

Have you tried rtMedia?

Hi @packjazz,

One of the main uses of cookies within BuddyPress is in template message display. In this case, cookies are used to store generated error or success messages and display them after the page has been reloaded.

If you try searching the BP code base for setcookie, you should find how else BP utilises cookies.

Note: WordPress probably utilises cookies too.

Wanted to mention here for the benefit of future searchers (or Michael if you’re still looking for a solution!) that we had the same need and built a plugin which does exactly what is described above.

The plugin is called the NS Cloner and is available for free in the wordpress.org plugins repository. It adds a network admin page where you can select a source site and then create a perfect duplicate complete with all content, plugin settings, etc.

Ok the count seems to be only a cosmetic change for the member directory.
See an original picture of this here.
A bit strange to use this trick as it exist and can be alered with css, but authors are sometimes strange….

What is the theme you use ? Maybe it contains some other “strange” things ? 😉

People who are Teachers need to have the Editor WordPress role to upload media.

Seems not to be possible for the moment. If you read the ticket, Boone says:

It’s a nice thought, though I’m not sure if it’d be possible to make this work without refactoring the entire activity query class. Moving to Future Release for discussion.

Feel free to disccuss this on #4988 or try to create a patch.

@spikespiegel,

please read here and provide more details and if possible give a site URL.
All of your topics are so far related to some weird settings of your wordpress/buddypress installation. So it is somehow complicated to help you if you don’t resolve this first.

There is no shame to read the WP codex by the beginning: get started and to follow each step.

Hi @simpleone,

you can actually only hide xprofile fields. Hiding field groups is not possible, due to a bug.
But it is corrected for 2.1 and you’ll find a patch on the trac.

You can already apply the patch to 2.0.2 bp-xprofile-classes.php and the above snippet will work. Add it to bp-custom.php or theme’s functions.php

To hide an xprofile group, use bp_parse_args like this:

function bpfr_make_profile_tab_members_only( $retval ) {
	// hide to non members
	if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
           // exlude groups, separated by comma
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '4,5';
           // exclude fields, separated by comma
       		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '1,39';			
	} 
	return $retval;	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_make_profile_tab_members_only' );

@onogbebor
You really need to be more clear in what you hope to achieve. If you have WordPress installed and have also installed and activated BuddyPress then there is already a connection with MySQL and the BP tables are already created.

Goggle ‘wordpress membership plugin’.
There are several plugins that will allow you to set membership levels and assign members to them.

You might want to post a trac ticket here:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/BuddyPress.org

This is a complete custom job; but you can find out how it was made by looking through this trac Milestone that compiles all the details of the fixes and enhancements made to the site. Sadly it isn’t just a theme and a couple plugins you could easily activate on your own site.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/BuddyPress.org

get_current_user_id() returns an int. Not sure if the type in this case will make much difference but perhaps your function is expecting a string?

Try doing this:

$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$user_id = (string)$user_id;

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

Sometimes it’s much easier to just write a custom query.

Buddypress does not “create” its own sidebars. It uses the theme’s.

Maybe it will be a good idea for you to try it out with a couple of free themes. The default wordpress theme (twenty fourteen) comes with two sidebars, you can probably play around with that a bit.

It should work the same way with a paid theme as far as Buddypress goes.
