BuddyPress.org

If you feel comfortable with php, here’s a gist from @imath to autojoin users to groups.
Modify it to add the member_type

A little different, BuddyPress Registration Groups

Have you removed BP Remove Profile Links plugin, as it was tested up to: WordPress 3.6 beta2 BuddyPress 1.8 beta1. Could be outdated after 2 years and without need if you use the snippet now.

You have also to test your site with one of Twenty theme first.

No matter the theme or the marketplace, first thing to take in mind is how to respect the standart.

Getting started

One crucial question to all: which theme do you use ?
Have you similar issue by using one of WP’s twenty theme ?
Have you searched in your theme documentation ? Remeber that we do not support commercial products here as we have no access to the code.

Also:
The Toolbar is related to WordPress, BuddyPress use it only to add a sub-nav block under Howdy on the top right corner.

Here a complete WP tutorial, in case of. (read also the comments)

There may well be a solution for this in the WordPress or BuddyPress community, but what I’m saying is it’s far more likely that you’ll find the solution in a phpMyAdmin or MySQL community. So don’t give up here, but be aware you have options if you don’t get a response.

Hi @marvc

Whilst I can’t offer any help myself in this instance, the actual table you’re importing is irrelevant so both the WordPress and BuddyPress support forums might not be the best place to look to get help. Instead, perhaps try a phpMyAdmin or MySQL support forum. Hopefully they’ll be more help.

I have also noticed, even on this website if I shrink my browser to below the width of maybe 400-500px the menu doesn’t show the WordPress logo. Shouldn’t this happen at a much smaller width as to allow it to show on most smartphones?

You’d just submit it as you would a normal WordPress theme, but specify that it provides support for BuddyPress. See some examples:

Hi @minglonaire

Features can be requested on Trac. Try searching existing tickets first to make sure the request isn’t already open.

That’s indeed what comes to mind with the newly introduced member types.

I just came across that old plugin that used to provide a solution for having different profile types: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/

One may need to look into it to see how it could possibly give a headstart.

Probably a javascript conflict. Check your browser console.

In general, it’s best to use wp_editor instead of ckeditor.
