Give this a try !

function embed_my_register_video() {
	echo wp_oembed_get( 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ', array( 
    'width'  => 600,
    'height' => 400
	) );
		
}
add_action( 'bp_before_register_page', 'embed_my_register_video' );

I also get this error:

ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress

It’s very Facebook-esq in the way it looks, which I think will be appreciated by some users as they’ll be familiar with how Facebook works.

Just a suggestion, could you try making the theme responsive? I took a look on my laptop, tablet and mobile. It works and looks great on my laptop, but could be optimised slightly more for tablet and mobile.

Looks good but I did notice this bug when you login on the home page it then redirects you to wp-login.php and kicks out this login error:

ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.

However when you click the link back to bp timeline at the bottom of wp-login.php it does redirect you back as a logged in user. Other than that it looks really great! If I find anymore issues I will report them back to you here.
Sincerely,

Have a read of this article:

http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-are-you-sure-you-want-to-do-this-error-in-wordpress/

It may help solve the problem.

Good idea but not yet implemented. But hopefully in 2.1 … Read this ticket

You can always submit a ticket at
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Since BP 2.0, you can use bp_parse_args to customise template loops and on a much easier way as never before.

The example function below will hide profile groups with ID 1 and profile fields IDs 6, 18 & 39 on the public profile screen of each member and stay visible on the edit screen. Tested & approved 2.0.1

If you get some php warning while using this function, be aware that there is a bug in 2.0.1 bp-xprofile-classes.php (fixed. See ticket). Simply apply the lattest patch to get rid of this error.

function flegmatiq_profiles( $retval ) {	
   // conditionnals to set accordingly to your purpose
	if( !is_user_logged_in()  && !bp_is_profile_edit() ) { 
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '2';	
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '6,18,39';	
		
	} 
	return $retval;
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'flegmatiq_profiles' );

In your particular case, you have to play with the conditionnals

The example below is to give you an idea how to handle this. Not tested !

function flegmatiq_profiles( $retval ) {
$myfield = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Faculty', $user_id );
if( empty( $myfield ) )
return; // or echo

   if( $myfield == "Faculty" ) 
      if( bp_is_profile_edit() ) { 
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '1,56';	
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '6,18,39';	.
      }
   if $myfield == "field_name_2";
     // do something other...

return $myfield;

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'flegmatiq_profiles' );

@erickojitoz,

have you forget to assign a page to each activated BP component ?
Have you tried with one of the WordPress default theme ?

See how BuddyPress does this: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.1/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php

I don’t know why BP does it this way (I would have to check the logs – it seems fishy) but in any case, this probably explains why you’re not seeing anything in your template. You should mimic what you see in that function.

We used to use an AJAX spinning GIF, but removed it due to various theme issues:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4610

I’ve added a patch for an alternative to the throbbler in 4951:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4951

It uses a progress bar animation for the background of the button.

@henrywright
Unfortunately no updates. The wireframes have been done for a while, but I don’t believe a decision has been taken.

@ciromanigrasso
Please visit and chime in at
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4132 and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5583

@simpleone,
you found the reason why it doesn’t work on one site and not on the other !
1.9.1 and 2.0.1 are sligthly different BP version !
And the function you mention whas only introduced in BP 2.0, so this can’t anyway work on previous versions.

Actually there is a small bug in BP 2.0+ when using this function to modify profile groups. I opened a ticket about this and @imath provided a patch that works and let the function handle correctly on profile groups. I personnally use this function to conditionnally show/hide fields from the base group without problems. My profile form contains over 20 fields in differents groups, even Base, and are all required and viewable by members only.

I advise you to cancel whatever you have done about this so far, to apply the patch, to add the function to bp-custom.php and to test again.

Check out this article on what hooks are and how you can use them to interact with WordPress and BuddyPress:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

Are you on a apache or a windows server ? phpinfo() will show you if mod_rewrite is on and server softaware on use.

What is writen in your htaccess file ?

If you’re on IIS, read here.

The only one I have personally tested is this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-moderation/

It’s clunky but seems to work. I have no idea what mess it might create in the database.

For any community or social networking platform to survive, it’s essential that content moderation can be divested to and distributed amongst the end-users. IMHO this sort of functionality should be bundled with BuddyPress.

In addition, i woud warn any user who want to use bp_parse_args to exclude profile groups (exclude_groups only), that you will get a php warning.
To avoid this, please read this ticket and apply the patch (BP 1.5 to 2.0.1).

@localiseorg

Thanks for the info about these block user plugin options! I have my fingers crossed that the one in the wordpress.org repository will work as advertised.. but it says it is plugin v1.beta – and says compatible up to 3.6 (or something like that)

Have you have a chance to test these to see if they work as intended? Any idea if installing and running them for a little bit and then decided to deactivate leaves behind problems with the database or anything?

Check your permalink settings and re-save them.

Hi @rybo3000,
Perhaps you can use BuddyDrive, who works on profiles and use many many mime types (so far you selct them). Not a “post”, but each uploaded file is handled separatly, profile by profile.
