BuddyPress.org

Check out Theme My Login. I’ve used it alongside BuddyPress many times and can say it works well.

@karllundgren – neat site and tutorial there I agree.

It seems that is a premium theme, not a free theme from the wordpress repository, and it’s certainly not the default 2014 or 2014 wordpress theme – which means you chance of getting answers here (about theme display issues) in the bp forums are pretty slim.

You should direct this question to the theme author. I would be interested in what they come up with as a solution.

Don’t want to vouch for security without actually testing it, but I like the idea of allowing field values to be parsed for oembeds, so I’ve created a ticket to capture the idea: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6603

Hmm. Related to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9716/trunk/src/bp-core/admin/bp-core-admin-schema.php and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9695

@reggie3 what version did you upgrade from?

You may adjust existing menus or use the buddypress menu.

@jeremymh,

Plugin author stopped support on wp.org repo since a few weeks.
sLaNGjIs Team do not provide support on wordpress.org forum and reviews system!

If you get an issue, you have to ask here now https://github.com/sLaNGjI
This is also the reason why nobody answered to your question on support….

FYI, i found this in the plugin review ! You’ve nothing to loose to try that.

In plugin’s ReadMe, it’s stated that:
* Work on all WordPress version from 3.1+ to 4.2+
* Compatible with bbPress and BuddyPress (for front-end hide).

BuddyPress settings has an option to show/hide the Toolbar to users, which is working properly since a while. I’m not aware of any toolbar trouble who should be resolved in BP’s core in regard of a third party plugin.

Conclusion: don’t use a plugin who has no decent support. Do it yourself or search another plugin. Sorry !

You want to create an event via the update form on the activity page?
afaik – that is not possible.

You can create events that will also generate an entry in the activity stream.
This plugin will do that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-simple-events/

Gardenia is not BP ready.

Create first a child theme. Add a new folder to wp-content/thems/
wp-content/themes/gardenia-child/
Now add a new file and call it style.css
Copy this header comment into it (/* & */ included):

/*
Theme Name: Gardenia-child
Description: child theme
Version: 1.0
Author: XXX
Template: gardenia
*/

Save.

In that folder, add another one called buddypress and another one in this folder called css

Go to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/css/ and copy buddypress.css file into the css folder you created in the child theme.

In legacy/buddypress/ directory, is a js folder. Copy the whole folder into child’s buddypress directory.

End result should be:

/gardenia-child/
/gardenia-child/style.css

/gardenia-child/buddypress/css/buddypress.css

/gardenia-child/buddypress/js/buddypress.js
/gardenia-child/buddypress/js/password-verify.js

Go to dashboard > Appearrance > Theme and activate Gardenia-child.

Done ! The theme shows BuddyPress properly.

@sharmavishal,
read from here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-restricting-users-to-one-group/

See if you can do something with 2nd plugin mentionned in topic. If not able, you have to ask for on Group Hierarchy support.

We only support BuddyPress here.

@ericks89,

There is a way, if you use BBPress Signature. 😉 Modifying bbp_get_reply_content filter.

Here an example fetching 3 xprofile fields called Signature, Industry and Type. Change it to your need. Code goes into bp-custom.php or child theme functions.php

function my_bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature( $content = '', $reply_id = 0, $args = array() ) {
	// Default arguments
	$defaults = array(
		'separator' => '<hr />',
		'before'    => '<div class="bbp-reply-signature">',
		'after'     => '</div>'
	);
	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
	extract( $r );

	// Verify topic id, get author id and potential signature
	$reply_id  = bbp_get_reply_id       ( $reply_id );
	$user_id   = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	
	// Get fields data. Caution: name is case sensitive.
	if(function_exists('bbpress') ) {
		$signature = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', $user_id );	
		$wowi = '<br>'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Service', $user_id );
		$wowt = '<br>'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Type', $user_id );
	}
	else {
		$signature = bbp_get_user_signature ( $user_id  );
	}

	// If signature exists, adjust the content accordingly
	if ( !empty( $signature ) )
		$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $wowi . $wowt . $after;

	return apply_filters( 'my_bbp_reply_content_append_signature', $content, $reply_id, $separator );
}

if ( !is_admin() ) {
   // remove the original BBPress filter
   remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );
   // add our custom filter
   add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'my_bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );	
}

May this help. 😉

xProfile data is a BuddyPress thing and user meta is a WordPress thing. Which one you use will depend on whether you plan to always use BuddyPress. If not then taking the user meta approach will ensure your plugin will work on all WordPress installs (even when BuddyPress is deactivated).

@iseestarz

Activity wall – Yes – in core.
all members chat – private user to user email like messages in core. Chat rooms with plugins like “quick chat” – so yes
sleek custom profiles for members, -hard to tell what is “sleek” – custom? for each member? There are a couple of plugins that played with this – not sure how they work, if they’ve been updated lately.. modding how all profiles look to make them “sleeker” than default 2015 – theme – possible..

a paid membership option – that would be a plugin.. there are several that get into that.. s2member, paid memberships pro, ultimate member maybe? Some options from wpmudev as well I think.

A way to let paid members make their own post/articles on the homepage – hmmm.. maybe prevent non paid members from even creating a blog.. or you mean any activity posts on home page – I think these things are possible.. BP recently added “user levels” but I have not see much actually use that.. but extending this should be easy to some degree..

However if your focus is on paid members things, and you will need support to put all this together and keep it running (you are not a php coder with lots of time to read codex and test things) – then developing around BP is likely to get expensive, and you might be better off forgetting bp exists and looking at some of the more premium systems others have put together around wordpress (a few wpmudev plugins combined achieve what you describe without needing BP) – and there are others..

Of course you don’t have to look for such a system revolving around wordpress either – there are more mature social network options that may save you time and sanity – things like phpfox, boonex dolphin, oxwall..

random thoughts from a bp user.. I’m not a dev and have not tested all the things out there that get into paid members things and restrictions.. if you search the forums here there have been a few comments from others pointing to some other similar plugin options – and some people have pointed out troubles with some of those on the market.

The best advice I can give is to look at how some of the already-available plugins do it. XML Sitemaps is a good one to learn from. It might not cover BuddyPress pages but I’ve used it in the past and it worked great for me.

This is the BP support site.
The bbPress support site is here.

Have you tried https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ ?

You can use it for free, but have to customize it with your own logotype.
See plugin repo how other plugins use it:

Official logos and colors for BP are here:

I have created a plugin specifically for this.
