BuddyPress.org

@tudmak This is the file you should be adding the HTML/CSS to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7.2/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
or you can use bp_before_member_header() or bp_after_member_header() to add the HTML and position the item where you want it in your stylesheet

@synaptic
BuddyPress Registration Options is similar to this idea but it only allows a user to fill out their profile and upload an avatar until the admin approves their account. It doesn’t allow posting to the activity stream however. IMHO if a user doesn’t take the time to fill out their profile then it is a good indicator that they are a spammer but I can see the value in your idea and would I would like to see this functionality in a plugin.

I was having the same problem, and it wouldn’t work for me with any of the suggested hacks in bp-custom.php

I found a thread in the WordPress forum on the same topic which worked. Just put:

remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9);

in your theme functions.php

Hope that helps.

I’m having this same issue, but on a newer version of BP (1.7.1). I’ve submitted a ticket to report this bug, https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5046#ticket. The error doesn’t occur if *all* fields of the extended profile are filled out.

You shouldn’t edit those files. You can add settings with a plugin. If you want that as a core feature then post on http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org then submit a patch of working code.

@thecrow72 basically, BuddyPress uses the WP email functions for its registration process. Deactivate BuddyPress, bbPress and other plugins then check your WP registration/activation emails, etc. If it’s not working, then please resolve your issue at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

Before activating BuddyPress, read https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/

Good luck!

the plugin is “breaking” the layout because its using different content tags

@millo it’s more like your theme is using proprietary templating system. BuddyPress is compatible with nearly all of the WordPress themes in the market.

BuddyPress uses the page.php file to render BP components. Open up your theme’s page.php file and Save As > buddypress.php and ask your theme developer to change the respective proprietary tags to show the_title and the_content in source.

After that’s done, upload buddypress.php file into your theme folder in server.

@adamfratino Thank you for posting back about the cause of the bbPress avatar issue. Please post at plugin’s support forums about the bbPress avatars issue when BuddyPress and Social Login are activated. https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/oa-social-login

groups_remove_member how to used in my plugin I am not able to used it.
Please explain .
I want to remove member from a group when new user registered.
I have received group_id and user_id from database. then I want to remove all member from that group without group admin.
I used function ‘groups_remove_member’ in my own plugin .
I am new in wordpress and buddypress coding.
My code is
if (!function_exists(‘auto_join’)) {
function update_auto_join_status($user_id) {
global $wpdb, $bp;

// get list of groups to auto-join.
$group_list = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM {$bp->groups->table_name} WHERE auto_join = 1″);

foreach ($group_list as $group_auto_join) {
$members_count = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_auto_join->id, ‘total_member_count’ );
if($members_count < 5)
{
groups_accept_invite( $user_id, $group_auto_join->id );
}
else
{
group_auto_join_hidden_group($user_id, $group_auto_join->id);
}
}
$wpdb->query(“UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET auto_join_complete = 1 WHERE ID = {$user_id}”);
}

add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘auto_join’);
}

function group_auto_join_hidden_group($user_id, $group_id)
{

global $wpdb, $bp;
$utn = $wpdb->users; // Create a shortcut variable for wordpress users table.
$gmtn = $bp->groups->table_name . “_members”; // Create a shortcut variable for buddypress groups_members table.

$mysql = “SELECT user_id FROM $gmtn WHERE group_id=$group_id”;
$results = $wpdb->get_results( $mysql);
foreach ( $results as $user) {
groups_remove_member($user->user_id, $group_id);

}

}
my auto join working well but I am not able to remove member
Please help me what is wrong?

Has anyone been able to come up with a simple method for this?

Really need a solution, I have discovered https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-bio/ and about to test, but I am assuming it wont work!

According to https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-1-7-is-now-available-2/page/2/#post-161513 a similar error message was caused by an un-updated plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/ ?

$user_id = get this from WordPress;
xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id );

The way you are getting members id is only good on member pages. If you are on a blog post you can get the author id, if you want logged in user id get that.

Once you’ve confirmed it is a bug/security issue, you can raise a ticket at BuddyPress Trac. The development team will then take a look.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

From the dashboard I can’t delete any plugins or themes … RSS Error: WP HTTP Error … I am unable to connect to download new plugins or themes from the dashboard …

@akukskuks BuddyPress activation does not cause those issues. Deactivate BuddyPress. Are the issues still there in your install? If so, you have get WP working without issues first before activating BP again.

How did you install WordPress, via webhost one-click WP install or manually? If you used webhost’s installation script, backup database to computer, then drop tables and start re-uploading WordPress manually via s/FTP. BP does not work well with one-click webhost scripts.

@tduschei you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.
Added those php tags to that page.
