BuddyPress.org

@djsteveb,

was miffed too, and decided finally to not use emoji’s. IMO unnecessary built-in noise, coming from extarnal server and added to every page without warning the site admin ! I disabled them with this plugin. On another hand, 23% of websites use now emoticons and probably 90% ignore that… Marketing !!!

If you still want some pics (if childish public is the target), see WP MonaLisa, which is even tailored for BuddyPress.

Have a nice day ! 😉 (emoticon ?)

1) Yes

2) The same as the default user level you set up in WordPress. By default, this should be the ‘subscriber’ role.

3) https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/

4) BuddyPress does not come with a bundled login page. It uses WP’s default wp-login.php page. You can find plugins on the wordpress.org repo to modify the login page to your liking.

hi @maelga,
You can’t actually automatically associate a user to a category.
try Restrict Categories, which let you assign categories to each user via backend.

To associate an xprofile value (or member_type), try this:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-assign-a-wp-user-role-based-on-a-registration/#post-232887

When you use WordPress alone, you can use many plugins for registering.

If you use BuddyPress, you also use his fonctionnalities.
One of them, is Members, which comes also with extra components, like extended profile.

When you use extended profile, it is like using a register plugin for WP, with his own extra fields you can create/add to the original WP registering process. After that, each user can handle/view these fields on his profile.

Now you have to choose:
– WP alone, with his poor profile fields
– WP + BP, with rich profile fields
– WP + BP, without xprofile component (and users go back to the original profile fields aera).
– or ask on ninja plugin support for improvement guidance to apply with BuddyPress.

Hi @aventurine_geode,

It seems like overkill to create a whole child theme to make a few small changes to things like colors and fonts

It seems because you are beginner. But it is the reicipe of this cooking.
Making a child theme is shorter, faster and much more handy as a plugin.

What is a an overkill ?
Taking a hammer to kill a fly….

What is a child-theme ?
– create a folder in theme directory (5 seconds)
– adding an empty files to this folder: style.css (5 seconds)

Once done, you open style.css with a text editor and you add a header as explained here (copy/pasting: 5 seconds) and modifying that text (15 seconds).

Once done, you activate the child as your site theme. And the “big” overkill is now a simple water drop whipe.

Now you can add, remove, modify any CSS rule from within your child theme. Without thinking about plugin updates or struggling with issues reliable to that plugin.

Doing this depends of your CSS knowledge and your handling of that style.css file

Hopefully, you will understand that in this case, installing a plugin or doing it yourself, has no difference in matter of time, but a big one in matter of usability (direct vs. indirect handling) and last but not least, in both case, it’s you who have to enter CSS rules.

If you know how, it’s ok. If you don’t, it’s only your fault. 😉

This is an issue that has been identified and ticketed and in the process of being corrected, hopefully it will be included in a point release, if not we can show how to modify or replace the core file in the interim short term.

Responsiveness depends more of the theme you use….
There is also a plugin you could try:

hi @mnctigah,

have you found this ?
http://zurb.com/forrst/posts/FPDF_integration_with_Wordpress_for_PDF_printing-Gr4

Yes, I’ve seen many solutions that do just that. Try searching the Plugin Directory. If you have no luck, try searching these forums for a custom code snippet that’ll do the job for you.

Hi,

As mentionned on official plugin page, this plugin is a Beautiful WordPress User Profile and Instant Community Plugin.

In other word, an alternative to BP for WP sites users. You use the one or the other, but not both !

If you have issues with that plugin, you have to contact the author.

Note also that this plugin is not in WP’s plugin repo.

Hi @thesmartone,

I even changed wp_config.php, variable WPLANG
This is no more necessary since WP 4.0

If your WP is in portugese, BP should be in same language automatically (except if you deactivated this feature)

BP translation can be found on GlotPress. pt_BR is translated to 96% (see here)
The po/mo files goes to wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-pt_BR.mo

Your comment is awaiting moderation, is a default WP string. In many cases, it can also be in theme. To ensure this, activate 2013 or 2015 and test all translations for WP and BP.
Deactivate all other plugins while doing this.

And before claiming about buggypress, check for PBCK. Or better, read the doc before installing something. 😉
