BuddyPress.org

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:

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 ?

Or, sorry if i’m wrong, see here a similar question, with a clever answer which maybe help you further.

Hi @jaybee08,

try this:

function my_custom_button() {
 // your button here
echo ' <br/><div class="mcb"><a href="#" title="">blabla</a><div> ';

}
add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'my_custom_button' );

Add the function to your child theme’s functions.php or to bp-custom.php

The pages are assigned

Strange. Did you by any chance give WordPress its own directory? Because BP won’t work with that kind of installation.

I have wordpress installed in its own directory with .htaccess- and index.php copied in the root

@pazens BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/before-installing/

@laxmanvel you’d need a media/gallery plugin. free -> https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-media

http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/33072/how-to-remove-feeds-from-wordpress-totally ?

sorry maybe this is a dumb question but can you even turn off the regular wordpress rss feed? i’d think both feeds basically work the same way maybe @r-a-y can shed some light?

>> i get a broken image when i select ‘mystery man’ for people who don’t have avatars

@noyzen That happens to me when I work on dev site when offline. This is not a BuddyPress issue, but rather a WP issue. If you deactivate BP, do the mystery man avatars show up? Furthermore, has this happened just recently or has it been the case since you set up WordPress?
