BuddyPress.org

I created a buddypress.php by copying the code tooked from the page-template-fullwidth.php. It didn’t work

@resistoyen sometimes it doesn’t work right away. To continue, using this page as reference:
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/oxygen/0.5/page-template-fullwidth.php?rev=24186

a) Remove the following from your buddypress.php file
Line 3: Template Name: Full Width
Line 13-17: <div class="aside"> to closing </div>

b) Change Line 21 from
<div class="content-wrap">
to
<div class="content-wrap bp-full-width">

c) Add this to your theme’s stylesheet

.bp-full-width {
width: 100% !important; 
}

The above plugin does not exist and the code must be outdated.

I am on Buddypress 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.6. I want to remove Activity from the member profile. I was able to style it out by placing the following into my childtheme CSS file:

#user-activity {
display: none;
}

I then made my Profile tab display first using the following in bp-custom.php:

// define the profile tab that opens by default
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );

So activity does not appear, however if you type in the URL: mysite/members/username/activity the Activity stream is still there.

Any best practices for getting rid of Activity in the Profile.
I also want to make changes to the main Activity stream and Group Activity stream so a point to good resources would be great.

@jonesstl not sure where you’re trying to place that code, you might want to check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-facebook-style-friend-lists/

@koomak @tperkins there’s a trac ticket for this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5140 = would be helpful if you provide more information about your installation, also if this happened only when you upgraded to BP 1.8.1 or do you have a new installation?

Haven’t used WAMP for a long while (XAMPP is tops) … You mentioned you have pretty permalinks working in WAMP. Was that before you activated BuddyPress or after? Btw, if you have SKYPE installed, you have to go through an extra step.

@elangley
Okay I was able to replicate the issue if you use an email as the username. You may want to submit a trac ticket here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

@mirgcire
That one may work you may also wanna try out these as well:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/invite-anyone/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/
These may help get you close to what your looking for!

Just a long shot… do you use an e-mail address as username?

Have a look at my question https://buddypress.org/support/topic/problem-with-email-adress-as-username/ from some months ago. Unfortunately nobody replied.
Workaround is to to create usernames without @ (we always create users ourselves, completely private groups, members need to be invited).
Didn’t check recently if the problem has been resolved or not.

Installed a plugin for users to login with their e-mail address or their username (which they typically forget) Plugin is WP Email Login: *Allows you to log into WordPress using your email address instead of a(nother) username.* Can be found at https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-email-login/

Don’t know if you might have a similar issue.

hi @famous,

so far i know, is the registration process a fully part of WordPress who use a function called wp_create_user.
This function requires 3 variables: name, pwd and user email to authenticate.

As a templated plugin, BP let you handle visualy a part of this process, particulary with extended profile fields. But BP doesn’t alter the orignal registry handling. The only 2 other things you can do is to change the NAME field name and allowing synchronization between WP and BP.

So the BP name field stays mandatory in any case and you cannot remove it.

BuddyPress is compatible with any WordPress theme. So, yes, it will work.

You may need to spend time customising the CSS to make BuddyPress fit your site perfectly or make it appear how you want, but that’s unavoidable.

It’s unfair to say that we (the developers) are denying it. If we can recreate an issue, then it’s something we can fix. If we can’t recreate the issue but you can, it means we’re not testing in exactly the same way that you are, or that there’s something specific to your WordPress installation that’s affecting BuddyPress in some way. Clear, step-by-step instructions on how to recreate the bug help us track it down.

If you can update here or on that bbPress trac ticket, @petervandoorn, with those precise step-by-step instructions and as much detail as possible about your WordPress configuration, we can figure out a solution together.

Thanks.

@okuleyeflo,

I just released a widget plugin which shows photos and names of user’s friends or current viewing member’s friends and it shows total friends count aswell a link to view all. something similar to Facebook. you can have a look if it may be useful.

Here is a plugin that allows admin to view buddypress profile from admin panel.

glad to be a help!

By definition features are only added to open source projects if people feel it’s important enough to make it happen. If you think theres a feature that every buddypress site should have then you should first lobby for it to the core group of contributors (through trac for wordpress/buddypress) and ideally offer your own time to help the develop the feature if the group agrees that it should be part of the core feature set.

If you are unable to convince others you are still free to fork the project into your own thing or better yet create a plugin which adds this functionality for others who feel as you do.

i believe those mojo market installs are real installs and do not use shared resources you should be able to install buddypress on it just fine but you should confirm with blue host that you have full file access to the installation and are not using shared wordpress core files before proceeding if you want to be sure.
