BuddyPress.org

It’s a bbpress question ! 😉
And it’s a bad idea, because users will have acces to your media library on the backend. So i warn you to use this option very carefully and allow only trusted users.

You can use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
or code yourself by following this example.

Check your registration in WordPress general setting. Your “anyone can register” button should be checked.

@ganzuelo

scrolling down the member page provides a funny elastic effect ! 😉 Really cool, but not what you want of course.
I disabled js on the browser and the effect disapeared immediatly.
So i think there is a js conflict, probably with some of your theme’s script.
check for the elements
`<div class=”col span_3>
<a>
<img alt=”Foxtrot Tango” /> `

You mention salient to be your theme but the source code indicates castle ? Did you rename it for a child theme usage ?
Some script don’t support this…

You use also a plugin to remove the admin bar.

<!--Plugin Global Hide Admin Tool Bar 1.6.1 Build 2014-04-16 Active --->
<!-- This website is patched against a big problem not solved from WordPress 3.3+ to date -->

Huh ?

Don’t know if the second comment belongs to that plugin, but if yes, WP is currently in 4.0 phase, so a 3.3 “problem” maybe solved.
Google to find a simplier solution to remove the toolbar. There is also a easy and light solution in on the WP codex.

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false'); in theme’s function or bp-custom.php would do the job on front-end !

Don’t use a hammer to kill a fly ! 😉

@webt89 Unfortunately, there are themes with proprietary templating systems that hijacks the loop which allows BP to be compatible with WP themes. There could still be a way around it.

1. https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/

2. Examples of creating a buddypress.php file to customize BP pages -> https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/

In your case though, you cannot copy over the page.php source code to your buddypress.php. What you would need to do is get the plain HTML structure of that section and replace some code with the WordPress Loop which includes the_title and the_content.

You could try asking the premium theme author for that simple buddypress.php file which you need to upload to your theme folder in server or hire a developer to do so.

Hi again @pietro_sferrino,

1 – HOW TO ADD A FRONT-END LOGIN FORM. I do NOT want people see the wp-default form for login. I want to show it in a front-end page. Actually, is not a matter of what I want … that is ho it HAS to work

Theme My Login is the plugin to handle that for you. Give it a try here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

Point 2 is a little more complicated, yes it can certainly be done but it will require you to create a template. For information on the BuddyPress template hierarchy, see here: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

@kagami https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-dashboard-access-for-non-admins/

BuddyPress should automatically create registration and activation pages for you. You can check by going to your website. For example example.com/registration or example.com/activate.

To create a WordPress navigation menu and add the activation and registration pages to it, see the WordPress Menu User Guide.

You can either copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.1/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/create.php by adding buddypress/groups/ folders and add changes yo want to make after line #185 OR add info by hooking into do_action( 'bp_before_group_invites_creation_step' ); for the Group Invite section in your theme’s functions.php file

change the edit the boxed included by default

@osamanuman just copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.1/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/buddypress/members/ folder (create folders if you don’t have them yet) then edit that register.php and save.

if I want to add mission and about us in the same registration page, how can it be done

Any field you create in the “Base” profile field group will show up in registration form. https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/

when admin create a users he is forced to enter a pseudonym

@victord34 you mean a “username”. That is a WordPress requirement for registration, not BuddyPress. But since BP is a plugin for WP, we use those usernames in different instances.

did you read this example in the documentation? https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php

there is a function for that: bp_notifications_add_notification( $args )

@victord34 start off with https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-real-names/

I’m in exactly in the same boat as @kamillamonkey on this one – “It wont change it from the DEFAULT ROLE set in WordPress/Settings/General/New User Default Role [Subscriber].”

I can go in after a new user registers and ‘manually’ switch the user role, but alas, at least for me, I’m not getting the roles assigned based on the user_roles & cases as outlined above when they register.

I’m using BuddyPress 2.0.1 & WordPress 3.9.1

Seems odd that the new user role would not be assigned, as the tutorial/code in @noizeburger ‘s example looks very solid! Any chance this has to do with something new/recent in BuddyPress 2.0.1?

@ubiq00 Ask your hosting company if they can host BuddyPress installations and point them to the codex link above. You might need to upgrade as some shared hosting plans can’t handle BP.

Since you’re new to WordPress and BuddyPress, might I suggest before upgrading hosting plans, that you test WordPress/BuddyPress via local install through XAMPP https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/installing-a-local-server/installing-xampp/

@philmeyer It’s open source now but it’s customized for this site so you would need to make the adjustments to work on your site https://buddypress.org/2014/03/open-sourcing-buddypress-org/

@kpd10435 the screenshot is from WP profiles page https://profiles.wordpress.org/johnjamesjacoby
All code is open sourced at https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk Only thing is, it’s just not a matter of downloading the theme. If you’re a developer there would be matter of having the time and knowing how to customize plugins and theme for your site.

@jejemo

try by adding this at the begin of your function
$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();

If you’re working on the Toolbar, the correct way to add a menu is like on this example:

/* add links/menus to the admin bar*/
/* more details here: http://wpengineer.com/2113/add-menus-to-the-admin-bar-of-wordpress/ */

function mytheme_admin_bar_render() {
global $wp_admin_bar;

	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
		'parent' => 'new-content', // use 'false' for a root menu, or pass the ID of the parent menu
		'id' => 'new_media', // link ID, defaults to a sanitized title value
		'title' => __('Media'), // link title
		'href' => admin_url( 'media-new.php') // name of file
		'meta' => false // array of any of the following options: array( 'html' => '', 'class' => '', 'onclick' => '', target => '', title => '' );
		)
	);
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'mytheme_admin_bar_render' ); 

A similar method is used to add a tab. Here on a user profile.

function bpfr_my_setup_nav() {
    global $bp;
	
	$mytab=array(
	'name'            => 'My Tab',
	'link'      	  => 'http://example.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/my_extra_page.php',
	'slug'         	  => 'my-tab',
	'css_id'          => 'my_custom_tab',
	'position'        => 100,
	'user_has_access' => 1,
    'screen_function' => 'xprofile_screen_my_tab'
	);
	$bp->bp_options_nav['profile']['my-tab']=$mytab; 	
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_my_setup_nav');

@flickchicks,

this is not a BP support, it’s a WP and theming domain.

1) no !
2) depends of the number of books and their type
3) this is default behavior when WP insert a picture into a post
4) a conditionnal should be added to the page or the post content. WP question anyway.

FYI see here:

@marriagebroker

take a look here, for inspiration at least
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/125754/buddypress-conditionally-filter-directory-based-on-xprofile-field

I’m curious if anyone has any additional guidance on this — I have an on-staff developer who could enact this if anyone can suggest how.

We get a frustratingly large number of registrations for emails like reddysmith@gmial.com and laurabrown@yaho.com … it’d save a lot of hassle to force email confirmation on registration.

I understand that this plugin used to add the function, but is outdated and no longer works:

@regularj0e28 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4732

i guess you have first to debug your theme. No worry about ticketing: hueman is a free wp theme.
Is it up to date ?
I use it and see no errors on groups activity or elsewhere.

Read here fore some dev tips

@dcavins,

Do you mean the group admin screen on back end ?
Have you tried to strip the shortcode ?
$content = strip_shortcodes($content);
return $content;

Removing some filters may also work ?
