Hello guys,
I have been using WordPress for about 8 months now and have just started using child themes to allow updating my code a lot easier – previously i used to ‘hack’ the code and edit core files.
I use the Avada theme and have successfully created a child theme. I am now looking to edit the BuddyPress Login Widget via the child themes functions.php file.
I have been doing some reading on these forums and have seen people talking about adding BuddyPress folders within a child theme.. Can someone clear this up for me please ?
Yes you need a function.
To call the function on change, you need to use ajax.
https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX
Before saying it’s not working, please follow the instruction.
Read my previous answer slowly and check the path i indicated.
wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_ES.mo
According to the screenshot, your site use the mexican version of WordPress.
Unfortunatly, there is no mexican spanish translation avaible for BuddyPress !
This force you to use spanish (es_ES and NOT es_MX) as site language to get automatically the es_ES BP translation.
In other words, you can’t use mexican language on main site if you want BP in spanish.
Translation can be found here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/2.2.x
I hope someone will come up with a way to scan database data created by RtMedia (and the ancient bp-album – lol) – and create a new set of tables that will include the new bp-attachments info and be able to create relationships with “image location” type- attached to – “group” – “user” etc.
and find a way to bring this data to media press or photo album plus or something else, or bp natively.
RtMedia is failing lately – which means BP is failing to provide basic usage for end users (again).
Android uploads have not worked in weeks. (and several other posted issues at their ghosttown, er “community support forums” (now user to user – no dev help without premium payments)- So there is no support with them. They seem focused on selling outrageously priced add on modules and dealing with support issues for the wpengine thing or something (could be that new wordpress update putting everything in a pickle) – but hey – live sites are failing to work properly, and media uploads and sharing were expected to be standard things with basic social networking more than a decade ago.
There’s more than 20 mentions of media issues and BP in the 2015 survey
– unless someone comes up with a good way to hand off the needed data for more flexibility with buddypress / wordpress plugins, I think this may become the final nail in the coffin for this bp thing.
Considering trying the media press plugin, and the photo album plus plugin – but can’t deactivate (that overbloated wasteful POS rtmedia; or previous activity and attachments and albums will fail (I think)) – Had this same problem back when bp-album support vanished…
bp media problems de ja vu –
@jordanboon0 – certainly there is more than one way to accomplish what you are proposing here.
My first thought upon reading this is is that you can create a “multi-user blog” with wordpress. Each new artist becomes a “contributor” or even “editor” upon sign up, and they can post a new gallery easily, then your admin(s) can choose what new galleries get published.
You go do all that with a single blog / wordpress install – and do it without buddypress, just make a cool custom author page for whichever theme you want to use.
There are many plugins and settings for things like front end uploads, post author profiles, wordpress gallery fancy stuff and all that.
You could also put buddypress into this mix and give your artists some extra social network stuff like private messages, groups and all that – however if you go with buddypress and and that layer to handle everything (without getting your users to submit posts / pages via standard wordpress) – then you have to get into a media plugin like rtmedia, mediapress, or – another one posted about a month ago.. anyhow – those media plugins are kind of their own “silos” – customizing how they work is not a few wp repo plugins away – and support for what you may want to do with them may be disappointing.
Of course you could take WP, add in BP if you really want the social layer, and still use the main site blog as kind of a “multi-user (or “group” blog) and do it that way.. you could get more complex and turn it into a multi-site install where each user get’s their own unique blog with gallery plugins – but moderation of posts and such with that setup may become more of a challenge – along with the extra headaches with running a multi blog network.
Anyhow – given the details you provided with your stated goals, I would forget about buddypress and multi-site – just install wordpress and do some searches in the wp-repo and themes section for “author pages”, “group blog” “post moderation” “front end uploads” and the various “Gallery” plugins – I think you can accomplish what you are going for pretty easily with lots of customization options.. without all the drawbacks and limitations of BP.
Hi Guys,
So here is what I have on my site.
1. Child Theme from TweentyFifteen
2. BuddyPress (2.3.2.1) and BBPress (2.5.8)
3. Latest version of WordPress
Everything is working fine except the Order By in Members and Groups.
When I visit Members or Groups, items are sorted by “Last Active” which is fine.
But it seems like when I change the Order By like New Registered, nothing happens.
I have checked with the firebugs. There is NO ajax / jquery call when I change the dropdown menu.
I’m really clueless and new in WordPress development.
Can you guys please give me some suggestions? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
You can certainly create new tables but this should be done only if absolutely necessary. Take a look at the Creating Tables with Plugins article for more info.
As to whether this will be a good idea verses utilising the existing activity table, only you can decide. It’ll depend on what exactly you need to do.
Those are not featured post images, but images that are embedded at the very beginning of posts.
I can see that the problem doesn’t exist when you navigate to the post. The image is nicely floated left and comes before the text in the source. BuddyPress seems to be changing the order of the image and text when it comes to the activity stream display. I’m not so sure that’s a good thing.
You could open a Trac ticket for this requesting that the order of text and images remain the same as they were input in the post form?
Perhaps asked a thousand times but I fail to find an easy solution.
When a user registered at my wordpress/buddypress site, how do I customise the thank you for registration page?
Many, many thanks in advance
Hello,
I’m utilizing the Woocommerce Buddypress Integration with the additional xProfile Checkout Manager, referring to these plugins;
Woocommerce Buddypress Integration (PAID) – http://themekraft.com/store/woocommerce-buddypress-integration-wordpress-plugin/
xProfile Checkout Manager (FREE) – https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-buddypress-integration-xprofile-checkout-manager/
In the xProfile Checkout Manager they’re creating a $field object using BP_XProfile_Field as follows;
$field = new BP_XProfile_Field( $field_id );
If I var_dump the object I noticed that no matter what kind of field it is it always states the type is web….
object(BP_XProfile_Field)#4428 (16) { [“id”]=> string(2) “19” [“group_id”]=> string(1) “5” [“parent_id”]=> string(1) “0” [“type”]=> string(3) “web” [“name”]=> string(21) “Work Province / State” [“description”]=> string(0) “” [“is_required”]=> string(1) “0” [“can_delete”]=> string(1) “1” [“field_order”]=> string(1) “6” [“option_order”]=> string(1) “0” [“order_by”]=> string(0) “” [“is_default_option”]=> string(1) “0” [“default_visibility”]=> string(6) “public” [“allow_custom_visibility”]=> string(7) “allowed” [“type_obj”]=> object(BP_XProfile_Field_Type_Textbox)#4430 (8) { [“validation_regex”:protected]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(6) “/^.*$/” } [“validation_whitelist”:protected]=> array(0) { } [“name”]=> string(8) “Text Box” [“category”]=> string(13) “Single Fields” [“accepts_null_value”]=> bool(false) [“supports_options”]=> bool(false) [“supports_multiple_defaults”]=> bool(false) [“field_obj”]=> *RECURSION* } [“data”]=> NULL }
Why is this? Shouldn’t it indicate what type of xProfile field it is? I was hoping to use this to indicate it was an email to woocommerce for it’s validation.
Any help in finding the posts true type appreciated.
Thanks
I Apologize for not being clear.
If I asked someone for the conditional for the homepage on a wordpress site, they’ll say home_url
If on a multisite and I wanted a conditional for both the multisite homepage and a user homepage, the’ll say network_home_url for the multisite homepage and home_url for a users homepage.
What is the homepage for a users homepage on buddypress? When I say users homepage, I’m talking about the page that displays as soon as you click on a member in the members directory, so for member chris the homepage is on mysite.com/members/chris
What is the conditional for when the page is on a users homepage like mysite.com/members/chris
I’m saying I don’t think there is a conditional for it, bp_is_user displays on all users pages but I just want it for the users homepage.
Using WordPress V. 4.2.3 and BuddyPress 2.3.2.1
I am running a multisite on theathleticgrade.com (master) with sub sites being theathleticgrade.com/coaches (and reflecting coaches fields ONLY) and theathleticgrade.com/students(and reflecting students fields ONLY) from the extended fields. Before adding the code to segregate the tables for the X-Profile Fields, both coaches and students fields were showing up on all sub sites. I need coaches to ONLY show up on theathleticgrade.com/coaches, etc.
I then created a file called bp-custom.php and loaded it with code, then uploaded that directly to the plugins folder. The code was copied and pasted from this link: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/guides/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite – NO MODIFICATIONS were made.
2 things happened:
1. In the back end and on both sub sites – the profile fields groups and their content disappeared. – Which is fine. BUT–when I made the attempt to add a new field group, I kept getting an error message:
There was an error saving the group. Please try again..
2. I created a temporary sub site to see how it would react and same thing, along with these error messages referring to the code I just added and uploaded: 
My question is..what do I need to do to create the groups in the coaches and students dashboards, so that they can be displayed appropriately on either website?
Was there something that needed to be manipulated within the code? If so, what is the exact location and where do I pull the information from? Specific instructions are essential, so that there is not any misunderstandings. Is there an example that can be provided on a live test website?
The only change that’s been made recently is the WordPress 4.2.3 upgrade.
Any suggestions for finding the source of the problem?
Or are there any options as far as making code tweaks to CSS (or any other files) that can switch the order?
Thanks.
So I know that this is a very simple fix, just need to remove a line of code or two, but I can’t figure out which file to remove it from.
Basically, I’ve been remaking this website for wordpress: http://www.ladamanagement.com
Seems fairly simple to do with buddy press, just set up the actors as profile pages, then use the members directory as the home page.
In order to get it as similar as possible I’ve removed all the superfluous things from the top of the members page (the search bar, last active notification, the drop down menu). The only thing I can’t remove at the moment is the heading of the page “Members” and the bit where it says “Viewing x of x members” (have included a pic just in case I’m explaining this badly). All I need to know is which file I need to edit in order to get rid of these.
Thanks!

If I may suggest that instead you add to your robots.txt file some wildcard rules such as:
Disallow: *members/*activity*
Disallow: */activity/p/*
as to where I think it may be possible to pull some info from the activity posts to create page titles and other meta stuff, most activity posts are going to be short in most cases, and having a bunch of new pages indexed (even properly with title and meta stuff) is likely to add little value to your site overall – and in fact might create a situation where a bulk of your site pages are considered “thin content” – which would hurt your seo more than any proper page titles will on activity pages.
Considering you are also asking about methods for adding meta keywords, I think you are looking for SEO help that is waaaaaaay outdated – unless you are going for different search engines aside from the big G, bing / yahoo for some reason – in which case my knowledge of the other spiders and their indexing methods is tiny.
Now if you are trying to get proper page titles on your “groups” and member profile pages, I think that would be a worthwhile effort.
Just a few random suggestions, I am not a BP dev or prof coder yet – others may have different advice.
I think that getting and using this info will be better / easier perhaps about WP 4.4 or whenever they include the REST API in the core – and then it should be easy peazy for themes to pull and use this info – not that it should be rocket science to do it now… however I have had no luck getting help with similar issues on other BP pages in the past.
It usually boils down to BP peeps saying that page title and meta stuff should be handled by your theme.. your theme devs will say they use the standard wp_title function (or something like that – which has been flipped around recently) – and that kind of stuff if you want it to be beyond what is “standard wordpress” should be handled by an SEO plugin… my experience with several SEO plugins has been that they will not get into all the BP “pseudo pages” for whatever reason, perhaps because a taxonomy is not registered for them, and that makes it more difficult.
Random thoughts for ya
I am a newbie when it comes to BuddyPress, WordPress etc.
I have installed latest versions of WordPress with Buddypress and EventsManager.
I want to include Events in the activity stream of my group.
My website: http://connect2sa.co.za/streettalk/groups/support/
What I have done:
I have created a group “Support”
I have created a group event
The event is shown in group menu, but not in the activity stream.
I have Googled for solutions, but I fear most refer to older versions of BuddyPress (e.g. refer to bp-custom.php, but I can’t find that file anymore).
Is there anyone who can help me?
Custom code goes to bp-custom.php or child-theme’s functions.php
Code on second answer shows an usage example, it’s not the code you have to use.
As you asked for register details, i thinked you want a resume of the registration with all mandatory xprofile fields information…
BP on a single install doesn’t sent a welcome email. This happens only on a MS install. But you add that manually. Read here:
Send Welcome email to Users when they activate their account on WordPress & BuddyPress Based Social Network
I don’t want every field to be linkable. How would I go about this?
I am no code expert.
WordPress: 4.2.3
BuddyPress: 2.3.2.1
I am using News Pro powered by Genesis. The theme and Genesis is created Studiopress.

Cheers Dan,
With the second question, where would I add that code?
Also, with the third point, is there no way I can get register and have my login details sent to me automatically, similar to what happens when a new user is created within wordpress?
Try this:
// depending the theme Main Menu, somwhere near Home, About, etc
function bpfr_custom_setup_nav( $items) {
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$items = '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'activity/news-feed/">News feed</a></li>';
}
return $items;
}
// 10 is the priority, 1 is the position in the menu
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'bpfr_custom_setup_nav', 10, 1 );
