Hi, I recently started my first WordPress site, on a new WP 4.2.2 install, and with BP 2.2.3.1 plugin installed, but I can’t find anything inside the plugin about the member type feature!?! I have read up on it, but nothing has let me know exactly what to do to get it on my dashboard, or to enable it in any way… Can someone please hold my hand on this? If I need to copy and paste code from here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/ I have no idea of where to do it? I’m ready to start populating profiles, but need the member type feature, and separate member type questions/fields in order for the site to function properly. Please help. My site is GigTrain.com – Thanks.

To my great surprise Buddypress allows such weak passwords such as a single digit letter or number when changing the password from the front-end.
There are several minimum password strength plugins for WordPress, but none seem to work with the frond-end of Buddypress.
How can I enforce users to select passwords with a minimum of 8 digits, including a number?
hi @fmckinnon,
Should we also use BuddyPress?
bbPress is a separate WP forum plugin. You can use it on any WordPress install.
BuddyPress is a separate WP members community plugin. You can use on any WordPress install.
Confused by the difference between āGroupsā in Buddypress and the forums ⦠and āGroupā forums.
BP groups are members activities grouped under a same hood: the group. So it’s a typical BP behave. A group is not a forum, even if group discussion can be followed with help of a minimalistic publishing tool, the what’s new ? form aka notice editor. A kind of wall discussion retrained to each group, without any usual forum tool.
If you use bbPress AND buddyPress, you have the ability to categorize the forum into groups. In other words, you can assign a forum to any group of your choice.
As you can read on Codex, you have the option for a global forum only, or group forums only or if you have time and many mods, group and global forums.
For the last question, you already know that vbulltetin can be imported. For the user i have no answer because i never used this, but one thing is sure, WP use only one user table, no matter the other used plugin.
BuddyPress “shows” users, but doesn’t manage them. bbPress “shows” topics, but doesn’t manage user. That’s WP stuff.
I don’t know if you should use BP and bbPress together simply in regards of these technical explanation. So far i already experimented with BP, they are many other points to take in consideration if you want to built a community site.
Hi,
I deactivated all plugins,
I checked all permalinks,
activated the twenty four theme from wordpress instead of the Boss theme (language looked fine),
activated buddypress (language looked fine, everything is correctly translated)
activated the BOSS Theme (language is not 100% translated:
examples: active, all groups, my groups, group has xx members, newly created etc. is not translated
although we installed the newest german translation (mo/po in wp-content/languages/plugins)
The same translation problem exists with sidewide activity as well as member directory (here all members, my friends in English)
For groups (..community/gruppen; parent is community, template is default)
For members (..community/mitglieder; parent is community, template is default)
404 error if I try to open any group with wordpress or with the boss theme
I did not run the last steps, because the issue is still present.
Ps Every buddypress component has its own unique page

Hope this is the correct forum to post this request. We are considering a major platform change for our website, TheWorshipCommunity.Com (http://www.theworshipcommunity.com) – I’ll refer to it as TWC in this post.
TWC is built on two platforms:
The blog/articles are based on WordPress.
The forum is based on vBulletin, which is out of date, and needs major overhaul.
I’m strongly considering BuddyPress and bbPress. bbPress is a no-brainer because we HAVE to keep the forums. That’s where the bulk of our community exists.
So, my question is should we also use BuddyPress? I get a little confused on the difference between “Groups” in Buddypress and the forums … and “Group” forums.
I know that the vBulletin importer works because we’ve already tried it. I guess my big question is when you use BuddyPress and bbPress together … are the user accounts shared? Meaning … once we import all of our thousands of users from vBulletin, is there user accounts now created for both bbPress and Buddypress .. or is it still treated like two separate accounts?
I would be beyond grateful if someone who is experienced in both could look at our site and give some honest evaluation on if this combination would be right for our community.
Thanks!
Fred
I’m trying to remove the admin user and other users of the membership list. But all the solutions researched here in the forum have not worked.
I was wondering if it was because of the recent update of WordPress.
Does anyone have any solution to help?
thank you
Hey @irenehofer
I’ve not seen a plugin that can do specifically what you need, but try searching the WordPress Plugin Directory for something similar and then perhaps try modifying it to your needs.
Hi @henrywright sorry for the delayed response but I had other things to tend to. Yes, I am seeing the problem on both the localhost and my online server. The only difference between the two is that my local server is returning the error code and my online server is not.
I am once again updated to the latest versions of both WordPress and BuddyPress.
Hi All,
I’m sure there’s a simple answer here, but I haven’t been able to find it.
I need to allow subscribers to post to buddypress, but never access the wordpress admin panel. The following code blocks subscribers from the admin panel:
// Block subscribers from the WordPress back end admin
function block_subscriber_admin(){
if (current_user_can('subscriber')){
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'block_subscriber_admin');
Problem: a side-effect of this code is that it somehow breaks the AJAX for posting and commenting on Buddypress pages. Instead of displaying the newly posted content, buddypress instead renders the home page of the site.
Is there a better way of blocking access to the WP admin panel? One that will not break BP?
Many thanks,
Adam
Hallo @rene-streber,
First of, i would recommend that you revert to a basic WP install using 2014 or 2015 theme and the WP’s german language activated and all plugins deactivated.
If you have a local install, suggest you do your test on it instead of the prod site.
Once this is done, you activate BuddyPress. German language will automatically be uploaded to the right folder (wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-de_DE.mo)
The original translation is here. It is complete to 100%. (and also the official translation).
FYI deckerweb provides a translation for bp 1.9 & 1.9.1. So seems to me it is outdated now.
Check if anything is correctly übersetzt. Theoretish sollte es jetzt funktionnieren.
If ok, you activate the main theme. Recheck everything. If ok, reactivate your plugins one by one and check each step to isolate an issue, if ever.
If everything is correct again, you can handle the specifics for your homepage. But remind one thing: BuddyPress components use a page system which is only in for internal purpose. This means that you can’t apply a page model like for an usual WP page. And if you use a special template just for the homepage, you have to adjust it to work with BuddyPress.
Each activated BP component should have a page assigned. And this page must be unique and empty, whithout any template or model settings, just a title.
I see that you have some issue with page names in your menu. Button show community2 and the permalink contains community-4. Check this too, to get community only everywhere. And probably clear your trash as it may contain some duplicates from previous attempts.
Once this is cleaned, und mit klarer aussicht, simply resave your permalinks to reinitialize all links.
bp_is_user_forums(), check if forums component is active.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6484
Which type of forum do you use ? Standalone or group, or both ?
In bbPress you have a folder called extend containing the BP specific templates. Should you use them depends the forum type.
If bbPress is standalone, the plugin is totally independant of BuddyPress in regards of templates at least.
Hi support team, recently posted this issue one week ago, but may be in the wrong forum. Hope you can help me.
Hi,
Iām using Buddypress (version 2.2.3.1).
All the groups in my community are displayed in the group list/directory but unfortunately Iām not able to open to the single group pages as well as create a new group. In both cases, the error 404 is presented.
I recently installed the new Boss Theme (version 1.1.5) on my homepage but it is the same problem as a tried it with the former theme (buddyboss version 4.1.9).
The permalink structure is based on the post name: it is like https://sport-und-ms.phil.fau.de/community/gruppen/sherlock-holmes/ (as example for single group page)
The support team of the buddyboss theme considered a slug issue or another hierarchical issue
Additionally, we are translating some of the *.po files of buddypress into german. Could this be a reason? I reran the original language file in (http://deckerweb.de/sprachdateien/buddypress/) but the problem still exists.
Buddypress runs in conjunction with bbpress (2.5.7), and buddypressā¦private activity (1.3.6), follow (1.2.1), wall (0.9.4), group documents (1.9.3.1)
Wordpress version 4.2.1
kind regards, RenƩ
Thanks Brajesh, but I didnt find this files, bp-custom.php and member-header.php š
This is my link profile project: http://tiquality.com.br/intranet/members/admin/profile/
On the extend profile fields, it should show the mail of wordpress user.
tks!
Hi !
I’m using a wp template based on twig file and I want to add a Private message button on post which are create by Buddypress user.
I found this code “bp_core_get_userlink() ” but I don’t know how to write it in my twig file…
I try that but it doesn’t work, someone can help me ?
{% set url = bp_core_get_userlink() %}
<FORM ACTION="{{url}}">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Envoyer un message au propriƩtaire"></FORM>
This works only in the member loop.
Not sure what you mean by a user standard page, but if you mean a normal WP page, see here first:
Template Hierarchy
or more simplier, see
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/
I can’t explain better as the Codex. You simply have to follow what’s explained here:
Twenty Eleven Theme
I’m wondering what the current status of BBPress forums are.
I have latest BuddyPress, BBPress and WordPress setup here.
BBPress main forums accessible via site.com/forums
Group forums accessible via both group pages and BBPress main forums as I have this setting on.
However on member profiles using bp_get_displayed_user_nav() to display the profile menu will present a link to the site.com/members/membername/forums.
On this page it seems redundant as it doesn’t reflect the topics this account has created.
So yeah, I’m wondering what the status is with this?
Thanks
Try looking at BuddyPress Docs
Two snippets to do this (hopefully). The first has a fixed position (latest by default), the second let’s you choose the position.
function my_nav_menu_notif_counter($menu) {
if (!is_user_logged_in())
return $menu;
else
$notif = '<li>Notif '. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</li>';
$menu = $menu . $notif;
return $menu;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_notif_counter' );
See comment how to apply a position
function my_nav_menu_positioned_notif_counter( $items, $args )
{
if( $args->theme_location == 'primary' ) // only for primary menu
{
$items_array = array();
while ( false !== ( $item_pos = strpos ( $items, '<li', 3) ) )
{
$items_array[] = substr($items, 0, $item_pos);
$items = substr($items, $item_pos);
}
$items_array[] = $items;
array_splice($items_array, 0, 0, '<li>Notif '. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</li>'); // 0,0 is first position, 1,0 is second, etc
$items = implode('', $items_array);
}
return $items;
}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','my_nav_menu_positioned_notif_counter', 10, 2);
Reference: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_nav_menu_items/
Never heard about individual WP media library, specific to my buddypress account. By default, all authors can see others pictures when stored in the media library.
BuddyForms is a premium plugin, you probably will have more chance for answers by asking on ThemeKraft support.
Any other idea? Yes !
Use bbP Signature instead. This plugin has a filtrable function where you can easely add custom fields near signature.
Activate the plugin. Create a field called signature and add this snippet to bp-custom.php
function my_bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature( $content = '', $reply_id = 0, $args = array() ) {
// Default arguments
$defaults = array(
'separator' => '<hr />',
'before' => '<div class="bbp-reply-signature">',
'after' => '</div>'
);
$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $r );
// Verify topic id, get author id, and potential signature
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id ( $reply_id );
$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
if(function_exists('bp_has_groups')) {
$signature = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', $user_id );
// here we add our custom fields
$wowi = '<br>'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Industry', $user_id );
$wowt = '<br>'. xprofile_get_field_data( 'Type', $user_id );
}
else {
$signature = bbp_get_user_signature ( $user_id );
}
// If signature exists, adjust the content accordingly
if ( !empty( $signature ) )
$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $wowi . $wowt . $after;
return apply_filters( 'my_bbp_reply_content_append_signature', $content, $reply_id, $separator );
}
if ( !is_admin() ) {
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'my_bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );
}
They are plugins who can do this, without having to use a cart system or e-commerce plugin.
Both are useable on BP profiles and have several settigns to allow different file format.
See BuddyDrive or MediaPress.
