Hi,
It is a bug with BuddyPress and there is still an open ticket for the purpose.
You can see the details here
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5087
and here
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5643
At the moment, there does not seem to be a solution. The problem is that query variable ‘s’ is used for Normal WordPress search as well as BuddyPress activity search too. So, When BuddyPress activity is set as home page, the wordpress search query( which is like sitename/?s=someterm) is mistaken for BuddyPress activity search and gets handled by BuddyPress causing the trouble.
It will need some work on the way BuddyPress catches url(I am hoping that). let us hope that it makes to the core soon.
I have several custom post types on my website that are not working correctly with a category search filter (http://docs.designsandcode.com/search-filter/) and BuddyPress. For example, I have applied the following code to one of my pages:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[searchandfilter fields=”encyclopedia-category,post_date” types=”select,daterange” hierarchical=1 hide_empty=1 submit_label=”Filter”]’); ?>
This is intended to filter “Encyclopedia” post types by category (http://dennishoppe.de/en/wordpress-plugins/encyclopedia). The filter works perfectly on my category and single page, but fails on the archive page.
The issue is somehow connected to BuddyPress because when I set the BuddyPress Activity Stream page as my homepage, the filter stops working and redirects me to my home page and displays something similar to the following in the URL rather than displaying the category page as appropriate:
https://sandbox.stratics.com/?encyclopedia-category=slug
However, when I use any other static page as the homepage (such as a standard homepage instead of the Activity Stream), the filter starts working again. I suspect this has something to do with the way the search filter uses permalinks and the way BuddyPress treats permalinks when it is used as a homepage, but I am at a loss at this point.
The filter works just fine for my normal posts, but not for custom posts.
Hello, I have an internal company site so privacy is not an issue.
I want the Buddypress profile of each user to display each person’s wordpress account email address with a mailto link.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
Hello,
I installed on my wordpress Query Monitor and finds me the following php errors.
bp_add_rewrite_tags 5 BuddyPress->add_rewrite_tags()
Error: Method BuddyPress::add_rewrite_tags() does not exist
bp_setup_current_user 5 BuddyPress->setup_current_user()
Error: Method BuddyPress::setup_current_user() does not exist
I understand nothing.
sincerely
TB
Hi Fan,
Do you mean removing the tabs in user profile ?
If yes, Please visit Dashboard->Settings->BuddyPress then click on the components tab.
there you can disable the Notifications and settings component.
If you are using WordPress multisite, you can find the BuddyPress settings under NetworkAdmin->Settings->BuddyPress
Hope that helps.
Hello
I only want to hide it because it shows my username to access admin panel in WordPress too… A hacker only would need to hack my pass.
It’s not possible to hide it in all the website?
Thanks
@henrywright
Thanks for the reply but
I used the below code to print the notification count on my page to match it with the notification count which is shown by wordpress and I noticed that the below code returns the value to zero no matter what ever the original notification count is.
echo bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( $user_id );
and yes I need unread notification count.
hi,
increasing the avaible memory means php memory, which handles scripts.
On a usual install, WP+BP need at least 128mo to run flawless.
Even if the server as the theoric resources, weird scripts or bad coded theme or plugins can lead to severe issues…
Read here for some basics about blank sreen of death.
This is actually the only issue which is real ! You have to consult the log files to track down the responsible script who generate this error.
Please give also more details about your install (theme name or site url, used plugins, server type and php, mysql version number) if you need more and/or better help.
The problem I’m running into is when I upload my avatars, I get a statement of “There was a problem cropping the group profile photo.” The files are indeed being uploaded, as there are folders with the images in them. But I cannot seem to crop them or have them show as my pic or my groups pic.
I have already attempted turning off all plugins and running the 2014 theme. I am running WordPress 4.1 and Buddypress 2.1.1. I’m hosted on Flywheel. My website address is http://www.thetheatreprofessor.com
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
I’m sorry too, but i can’t learn you to use BuddyPress and WordPress. I can only guide you. It’s a volonteer based forum, and understand that i can’t offer you a lot of my time.
You asked how to apply at least a background color to the buddy nav.
The CSS code i indicated should go in a file called style.css
This file exist in almost any theme. Open it and copy/paste the code, save and bam, you’re done.
For more explanation about child theme or any other custom work, you have to read WP & BP‘s codex or find some tutorials on the net.
Be also aware that you use a premium theme, which can be difficult for you to find assistance outside of the theme support.
@shanebp, @danbp,
I am very sorry for leaving the topic so long, Its been a long time I visited here. been so busy working on some different project plus now enroled in Uni doing IT.
here is the plugin:

Thanks for your help
I guess it’s not an error, but intended so.
Twenty Thirteen title on activity page:
your-site/activites/ activity | site name
Twenty Fifteen:
your-site/activites/ activities |
If on a user, profile the page title is the username – which is correct in regards of the h1 on that page: the username !
On previous Twenty themes, the title was username|blogname, not wrong but incorrect in regards of HTML spec. A page title should contain reference to a document. A blogname is not a document ! HTML5 title element.
<title> in this new theme is based on <h1>, without additionnal noise such as the blogname everywhere.
Did you also noticed that 2015’s header doesn’t contain wp_title() ?
For more about this new usage, see this ticket (nacin, yoast, boone,…)
The only thing i would change, is removing the pipe when an item comes alone or replacing it by a space. 😉
Hello!
I want to ask if there is some way of remove the @username in the Admin’s profile because it shows my user for log in in WordPress.
I have read about hide the Admin from member list and online members, but I don’t want that. I only want to hide the @username
Thanks
Visited your site, then uploaded wp framework to test it with 2.2 RC2 and got many php errors.
Immediatly after theme activation and a fatal error while trying to modify a group photo.
Seems you got it to work with 2.1.1, but as this theme was designed for BP 1.5/1.7′ BP Default, it’s most probably that some deprecated fonction are used by the framework.
I haven’t checked further, but imho, if you haven’t done special settings to use with 2.1.1, troubled times are awaiting you with next BP release.
WP Framework wasn’t updated since over 2 years, and BP 2.2 is very different of 1.7. They’re so many up to date frameworks on hand to play with, why do you choose an unmaintained theme ? 😉
Also @skyrant, it’s possible this is just a bug in our implementation, and using WordPress’s add_menu_page() function, which requires a capability be passed into it that is consequently checked on the current site being accessed, and not the root site where the bp_moderate capability is likely to be assigned.
I’ve opened a ticket in our bug tracker to bring a bit more attention to this as a bigger issue, so if you end up creating any patches, go ahead and drop them there:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6175
Hey @skyrant, project lead chiming in here. Apologies for @ubernaut’s response; it doesn’t come across as very helpful or inviting, nor does it point you in any directions as to where to start building this type of functionality, which is the type of helpful reply I would expect from our forums normally.
You’ll want to look into WordPress’s map_meta_cap filter, and more specifically, our bp_moderate capability checks.
In the old days, we used a bunch of is_super_admin() checks to only allow the type of access you desire to network administrators. This proved to be too powerful an assumption once BuddyPress started working on Single-Site installations, and so we ported (almost) everything to checking for bp_moderate instead.
You could create a new role and grant it the bp_moderate capability. In doing so, any user with that role will have the ability to moderate the entire BuddyPress community.
This also is a bit more powerful than we would like it to be, and in the future we hope to introduce dedicated roles and capabilities all through-out BuddyPress very similarly to the way we did with bbPress. It’s not in the immediate roadmap however, so if this is an area you’re interested in, and want to help us improve it, let’s keep a dialogue going here and see if anyone else chimes in.
Hi,
How can I insert all the functionality of members page in a specific section of my homepage?
I already tried to insert through the block “Members Mansory” but the search bar and the order by combobox don’t show.
If I set my homepage as the main page for the page members in Buddypress setting all content that I have is replaced.
My website is http://staging.altaperformance.pt/ and I’m running the last version of WordPress.
Thanks
Try storing the role selected when registering in user_meta.
Then use that data to actually set the role via this hook bp_core_activated_user
in this file: \buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-functions.php
That is not the answer i was looking for. If you have to design groups and capabilities in a non wordpress standard way then at least offer some way to control this mess. What a huge disappointment this is. Maybe the developers need to go back to the drawing board.
Something weird happened with my site. When I create event, a new member register and so on, everything is double. I use Buddypress 2.2.0 and WordPress 4.1
Anyone has any idea what could cause this?
Thank you!
I like to create a new group that has access to the Group and Activity Menu in the admin dashboard. Because BuddyPress does not use standard wordpress functionality when it comes to roles or capabilities i have not found any way to do this. It’s a right mess if you ask me and your documentation is lacking to say the least.
Even giving a Role the bp_moderate capability does not work.
Can you please provide a solution as to how i can give a new Role i created access to these 2 menu options in the dashboard/admin tool?
Thanks in advance.
