i could imagine lots of interesting metrics. posts, messages, group activities, even wordpress related things like posts. Anything that makes activity basically could make for some very interesting ways to measure a site.
It seems that those spamming my site are using wordpress’ default way of creating an account and not registering through buddypress. When I go to the users admin, all of the users that used buddypress were given the default forum role of “participant”. The spammers don’t have this role.
Because of my current setup, I installed the Members plugin and created a new role. Then I made the buddypress form show up only for those that I have confirmed. I would recommend that this be added to future buddypress installs as an option.
It’s my theme and I code WordPress themes for like 5 years now but I don’t see myself as a Developer it’s more a hobby 🙂
I’m solid at HTML-CSS and can read PHP when I see it happen but I can’t write PHP it out of the box.
This error shows up when I try to hide a complete xProfile-group-ID or just an unique xProfile-field-ID from the loop.
This is what I did.
Inside: my-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php
I found the start of the loop
<?php if ( bp_has_profile() ) : ?>
....
My first thought was, maybe there are default options here to control the output of which ID’s will be visible so I started the search how the bp_has_profile() was build and looked into plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php and found this at line 150:
....
$defaults = array(
'user_id' => bp_displayed_user_id(),
'profile_group_id' => false,
'hide_empty_groups' => true,
'hide_empty_fields' => $hide_empty_fields_default,
'fetch_fields' => true,
'fetch_field_data' => true,
'fetch_visibility_level' => $fetch_visibility_level_default,
'exclude_groups' => false, // Comma-separated list of profile field group IDs to exclude
'exclude_fields' => false // Comma-separated list of profile field IDs to exclude
);
This looks very familiar to bbPress so my first thoughts was lets try to add one of those Array’s to the loop and overwrite the default value.
Just like this.
<?php if ( bp_has_profile( array ( 'exclude_groups' => 1 ) ) ) : ?>
...
This works perfect, it hides all xProfile-fields from the first Base primary Tab (back-end). Just like I wanted it because I didn’t want all the fields to show up front-end, I’ve got a few xProfile-fields that I use for user-customization of the profile-page. Each user can add color-codes to change the default menu-color and add background-images to their profile-page to make each profile a little more unique.
Those field-ID’s are just urls or color-codes and don’t have to be visable to the public, thats why I try to hide them front-end.
BuddyPress uses the version of jQuery that comes with WordPress. You’re best to search for how to make WordPress do this change, then BuddyPress will use it.
@ecoportaluk Did you install https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-connect-for-buddypress/ or have you checked out StudioPress forums re BP customizations?
@juggledad
Thanks for explaining in more detail. If you feel this is a bug, you can submit a ticket on Trac
Trac is the best place to follow the development process and submit bug reports.
the ‘my-members’ / ‘my members’ was a typo – it is the same WordPress page
<?php echo 'is_page()='.is_page().'<br>'; ?> – why are you doing this?
why, to demonstrate the issue. this is something you can do in 5 minutes to reproduce an issue I am seeing in a theme. Instead of pointing to the theme in question, I’ve shown the ‘bug’ in twentytwelve so anyone can reproduce it.
It was probably a theme issue. The easel theme hasn’t been updated in a few months and could have broken with current version of WordPress.
Instead of posting alarmist warnings it is better to post the issues incase others encounter the same thing.
I add the coode in post 1 to twentytwelve
I create a page in WordPress and call it ‘my-members’
I view the page
is_page() returns ‘1’
I install and activate buddypress
I ‘Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory.’ and set members pointing at ‘my members’
I view the page
is_page() now returns null
I don’t know about you, but to me this seems like a bug in buddypress
PHP Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare()
Take a look at this post which will give you some background as to why WP throws that warning at you.
The best solution is to phase out bp-default from your sites or ask your theme developer to convert their bp-default derived theme to a WordPress theme.
So you’re creating an additional Members page ?
If not, you don’t need an override.
If you are, you need to change this hook in that override
do_action( 'bp_before_directory_members' )
And call the new hook in the example below.
You need to know the id of the xprofile field that stores gender.
You need to know the value that is stored for Males.
Then you can tweak this code and put it in your theme functions.php or bp-custom.php

The terminology is important here. WordPress ‘pages’ shouldn’t be confused with the more loosely termed web ‘page’. Although BP ‘pages’ are webpages, they aren’t WordPress pages so is_page() isn’t going to work *most of the time*. The exception is register, activate etc.
For a list of template tags you can use with BP ‘pages’ take a look at:
Template Tag Reference
Hi thank you for replying,
No I have other plugins as well mostly BBPress,WooCommerce, and a couple of slider plugins,also WordPress SEO.
Its a premium theme and has support for BBPress but not buddypress hes working on it now.
I believe my permalinks are not default.
My structure is set at: /%category%/%postname%/
My base is set to: /shop/%product_cat%
I believe when I installed the theme the instructions were to change them to that so the permalinks would look good.
’m really not sure… but it *would be* really cool if those functions were integrated in such a way that nothing more would be required other than to install WordPress, Buddypress, then a theme… and call it a day. Not that I’ve had a problem with needing to copy the templates over to other themes in the past, but it’d be really awesome to see this worked out
This is the whole point of BP theme compatibility and has now been in existence since BP 1.7, you need to keep abreast of development changes on the BP blog and/or the codex documentation.
Right on.
So… after this update (the fixed version), will anything need to be copied to the ‘theme in use’ before it’ll pick up Buddypress’ template-pages, such as Activity, Groups, Members, and so on?
I may be misunderstanding here… I’m really not sure… but it *would be* really cool if those functions were integrated in such a way that nothing more would be required other than to install WordPress, Buddypress, then a theme… and call it a day. Not that I’ve had a problem with needing to copy the templates over to other themes in the past, but it’d be really awesome to see this worked out so that regardless of what theme was applied that the Buddypress template pages would simply be available and work correctly with no further configuration required to get those things working. For myself, as I say, it’s no problem… but for some of the locals that I host for… wow man… they need help! 🙂
[background: I’ve worked with Linux since 1997, Apache since 1998, and WordPress for about 5 or 6 years now… I’ve lost track of how long it’s been, actually.]
In my case I had to investigate thoroughly as possible, because the site I was building out when I noticed this problem is a site that is only available via Tor (with a .onion address). Building OnionNet sites using a nailed down Apache, WordPress, and Buddypress can be very tricky at times, if you’ve never done it before. But once the differences are learned, it’s pretty easy… not really any more difficult than any other wordpress site… it’s just a matter of a slightly different configuration, and email is worthless in these instances, so things must be done to eliminate the need for a valid email address during signup, but it’s do-able using some of the plugins that are available.
Anyways, you guys keep up the great work! 🙂
And…
Thanks for your help!
Same problem here.
I thought at first that it might be the security plugin I had installed today, but after removing that and finding the problem still existent, I began searching around and found your post and a few others like it.
So, from an SSH connection to the server, I dropped down into my wordpress-plugins folder, and ran “wget https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.8.zip”, then renamed the old folder, extracted v1.8, verified that it was working after the reversion, and then deleted the 1.9 folder.
Maybe it’s just a conflicting plugin, but from what I’ve gathered so far, the problem appears to be an issue with a template file that should have been included with 1.9, but wasn’t. At the same time, there’s talk of EOL-ing the bp-default theme, which… ok… I can understand that, provided there’s something to take the place of it or at least a clear and concise way to provide the needed templates to other themes now that it seems the Buddypress Template Pack is no longer available (I certainly couldn’t find it, if it *is* still available).
Either way, this is an aggravating problem, especially considering that I run a large number of WordPress+Buddypress sites.
Hey! Vielen dank für dein Antwort!
Ich Habe gar keine Plugins installiert, nur WordPress 3.8 und BuddyPress, sonst gar-nichts!
Und in der Reinfolge.
1. (Alles aus der Datenbank und dem FTP-Server gelöscht)
2. WordPress 3.8 auf den Server geladen und installiert.
3. BuddyPress installiert. (Die URL Generierung auf „Nummer“ gesetzt /archives/%post_id%)
4. Original Oxygen Template installiert und aktiviert,
Und nach den 4tem Schrit ist einfach nichts mehr da =(
Ich hab auch schon andere Seiten gesehen die die auf WordPress und BuddyPress mit Oxygen einwandfrei funktionieren – verstehe nur nicht wieso es bei mir nicht geht ich hab eine andere Reihenfolge ausprobiert leider ohne Erfolg =(
I don’t know but maybe it has something to do with this alert at the top of the plugin page.
This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.
@emcdaniel09 Wait for BP 1.9 which will be released tomorrow. All BP-specific links can be added easily to any wp_nav_menu in Appearance > Menus.
Thank you for your help. The code you provided shows post featured images however, how do I add pretty permalink to the images?
this <a href="<?php echo get_post_permalink(bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id()); ?>"> returns <a href="http://localhost/mysite/?post_type=post&p=33">. However, I would like http://localhost/mysite/my-trip. I have a single wordpress installation.
It is also possible I could start with simply installing Buddypress, and see how it goes. I know it is possible to change a wordpress install to a multisite.
I just discovered this…http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/
It is really amazing what you can do on this platform…
I am learning wordpress as well. So there is a learning curve, but I am pretty tech savvy. I should do a local installation first. I have used instant WP for a local install… and like how you can take wordpress installations with you on a usb drive. But it is incompatible with multisite. Any reccomendations for software to use to do a local install with multi-site?
I have been experimenting with “Commons in Box” and like its clean interface- I see it as a turn key solution… but I would welcome other suggestions- if you have them.
