BuddyPress.org

excluding specific ids isn’t necessarily helpful if you have a regularly changing membership…

FWIW – i am not a programmer… i am good at patching together workarounds tho 🙂
somewhere along the way i found this approach to ONLY displaying my level3 members:

<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

  <?php
       $wp_user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );
      if( $wp_user->roles[0] == 's2member_level3' ): ?>

which seems to do the trick – this is in members-loop.php

at the top of that file i have
<?php if ( bp_has_members( 'type=alphabetical' ) ) : ?>

it used to be bp_ajax_querystring() which seemed to continually thwart my efforts.

Now it nicely displays my teachers in alpha order with no headache… granted, it’s by first name, which i will eventually figure out how to fix.

Obviously i’m using s2member with buddypress, but i tried it using basic wordpress roles and it worked as well.

so far so good, at least…

Hi @wpdragon,

I think BuddyPress Security Check plugin is the best.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-security-check/

yes but using the terminology you already have, you are really talking about WordPress roles more then Buddypress roles (which actually don’t really exist) some of the functionality you are looking for would probably require something like s2 member to be fully automated the way you describe.

I would try upgrading to to wordpress 3.8. I am not developer though just a thought.

Neat. You should submit it to the WordPress.org Showcase!

@colabsadmin agreed!

You could raise a Trac ticket for this?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

Alternatively you could create your own version on bp_get_the_thread_recipients() – which is what I did.

i think he platform itself will be fine but you should be aware that user levels only apply to wordpress and bbpress. buddypress itself doesn’t really use them so your moderators will be able to have extended authority in your forums but they will have no special powers over groups themselves (they will be able to moderate any group forums that are created however) only full wp admins can moderate groups (although you can assign a member to be a group admin manually as admin).

I’m also looking for a similar solution to this, it’s just so unlogical to have such a fine working BuddyBar “My Accounts” but in such a place where it simply gets burried.
I am using mostly widgets together with the main navigation. And I would so desperately just want to add THAT menu, into my own excisting menu’s if I only knew how. Or add it to a widget I would settle for that as well. It’s too bad this isn’t a standard function from Buddypress cause I really don’t like letting people into my wordpress backend. So I would prefer to disable the Admin bar for my members. But now I can’t because then they don’t have a menu.
I also tested the new Buddypress componants in wordpress custom menu’s this is a good step in the right direction. But you don’t have links like to someone’s forum topics, favorites, subscribed etc. Like you have in the buddybar. Or going to the Change avatar link, just too many goodies to miss to leave out the admin bar now.
Can someone help out here?

I agree with what the folks above have said. You could probably shave a few milliseconds off of the time it takes for the PHP interpreter to compile BP into bitcode. If you’re serving billions of pageviews, this might be worthwhile. But generally, there are far more effective ways to increase performance. @henrywright-1 makes some good suggestions. Look first at the items that are being delivered to the user: images, javascript, etc. Then, look at ways to speed up the loading of WordPress by getting rid of unneeded plugins, etc (that actually *do* take appreciable time to load).

Good luck!

i think it is interesting in what buddypress/bbpress is suppose to be about community engagement which seems to be quit the opposite.

I think that’s a little unfair, @mercime and I have gone to great lengths with the codex effort to make things as inclusive as possible with posts, tweets, polls, and requests in general for feedback from the community at large.

It’s worth keeping an eye on BP blog posts & bpdevel.wordpress.com to keep abreast of what’s happening.

One thing – perhaps to what Boone refers – that would help and that has been discussed and is favoured by some is to try and vring the three major aspects of BP under one domain proper so themeing, Documentation, and core dev exist as subdomains of buddypress.org and as such have their own homes for news and updates.

Another brief thought: You say that the Register component is linked at Dashboard > Settings > BuddyPress > Pages. But make sure that the linked WordPress page has its status set to Publish.

If you’re talking about the author icon on a *blog* post page, then it probably doesn’t have anything to do with BuddyPress – that’s handled by your WordPress theme. In any case, it’s likely that you’ll have to change it in a template file, or at least use CSS.

What theme are you using?

You should be able to convert your existing WordPress site to Multisite. Here’s the page from the WP codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Pretty gutted by this decision to not support bp-default as it seems to support bbpress and for my site personally, like the emphasis on forums, members activity stream.

https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/buddypress
Looking through the handful of buddypress/bbpress focused theme, there doesnt seem to be one thats quite barebones-functional like the Bp-default. Blog-post on the left-center and members/log-in widgets on the right.

Does buddypress have any plans to release a new “bp-default”?

thanks

hi all

@mdpane The BP-Default theme is critical to my site. I am running wordpress and bbpress along with buddypress 1.9

A couple questions:

1- Does this mean if I update to buddypress 1.9.1, my bp-default theme will disappear?

2- Regarding the solution you posted, of adding the code, what exactly does that do? Does it activate the BP-Default theme should you install BP 1.9 or latter?

3- Will/Is my current installed BP-Default theme in risk of not working in the future?

Thanks

There are not enough contributors to BuddyPress to do something as extensive as the make.wordpress

Here is the current options to get involved https://codex.buddypress.org/participate-and-contribute/

@multiplegnat

You can actually map multiple domains to one wordpress mu site with https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/ … not sure if that helps…

“parent theme?” Can you try wordpress twentytwelve or bp default?
