Hi,

1) Mybe the code source of Welcome Pack plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/ ) can help you in dev.

2) or check this link :
http://bp-tricks.com/featured/creating-a-custom-email-template-for-your-buddypress-emails/

3) Check this code (from bp-members-functions.php line 1353). function bp_core_signup_send_validation_email

`
$to = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_to’, $user_email, $user_id );
$subject = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_subject’, $subject, $user_id );
$message = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message’, $message, $user_id, $activate_url );
`

With some filters i think you can change email, subjet of activation email, or the message.

Closing this, continue discussion at  https://buddypress.org/support/topic/register-2/ please respond to question posted there.

I lost my hope for them due to lack of assistance avail.  I hope the communities here on WP are better!

Please know that all of those helping in the WP, BP and bbP forums including even that of Joomla’s forums are all volunteers living in different time zones. If you require on demand support, you’d need to hire a developer at http://jobs.wordpress.net or at https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/ etc.

The big question is: Why not?!

This is a little silly.

With groups set up, you could effectively replace old school “forums” with the more dynamic “groups”.

You can just message from your profile, or to a group. It turns the entire site into an extendable forum. All that’s missing is a better text editor.
This would simplify things a great deal. Right now, you can start a conversation in the forum; in a group; or just with a message from the profile. These are not all that integrated. Way too easy to get lost, or lose related content. It’s a mess.

I know with the new updates, bbpress and BuddyPress are friends, and you can (in theory) feed your group forums into the site wide forum. But… why have a site wide forum when you can just message to groups?

I’ve had to create a page on the site just to explain to people what this Groups vs Forums stuff is about. Think about it from their perspective. What the hell is a “group”. This really smacks of developer centric thinking dominating user centric thinking.

I’ve found this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-tinymce/
But I’m getting a fatal error, and so are other people (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bp-tinymce-fatal-error?replies=3#post-4107216)

@bill-king I asked you to change themes to double-check if the warning was only happening in your theme as I presumed it would.  I just checked out the Radiance theme demo at Rocketthemes and unfortunately, they’re still using jQuery version 1.7.1 while WordPress and therefore BuddyPress as well, are using jQuery version 1.9.1.  Which brings me to question are they dequeueing WP’s jQuery to get in their version in? That’ll be bad, as it’s going to break some WP plugins which use 1.9.1. Hopefully, the Rockettheme devs there will update their WP themes to use 1.9.1 otherwise, it’s going to be a rocky road for you with WordPress plugins using WP’s 1.9.1 version.

If the jQuery issue gets fixed,  there is another method to BP Theme Compatibility, i.e., copy Radiance theme’s page.php file and save as buddypress.php. Tell the theme dev that you need to revise code within buddypress.php to make it work with BuddyPress amidst all the customized coding, i.e., need the_title and the_content  to  be within the WordPress loop.

@bill-king
Time is money and if it takes you a lengthy amount of time and you still have not achieved your requirements then you will have lost something money can’t buy and that is more time you invested than you already have. I would contact the theme author for support and if they can not help you, and nobody here can help you, then you and that theme will have to say your goodbyes and choose a theme that adheres to WordPress template structures if you want progress in your project. If that is not an option then you need to hire a developer which will cost more money than you paid for the theme considerably.

@modemlooper Thanks so much for the link.
I’m having a slight issue with what I downloaded. Might be that I do not have something configured right. I did a default install without changing any coding. I get this result.
http://vanitywigs.com/wordpress/activity/

I also tested this by changing the folder name to match what is in the code and though the pictures on the Admin Plugin shows now, when I go to the activity page only the Share button Shows but when clicked nothing happens.

Any suggestions on what to do?

@johnconner Glad you resolved the issue and thanks for posting back. Did you add that to your htaccess file to harden WordPress install?

Hi, So how do I can use the function out of their component?

Today I’m tried to create a navbar with name and thumbnail of the user.

Thanks

I believe I understood that the BuddyBar was being deprecated.

@jcollier BuddyBar had already been deprecated since BuddyPress 1.6. For reference see related tickets, specifically #3661 and #3596 You can also check out bp-members-adminbar.php with bp-members-buddybar.php in current BP 1.7 version //edit – Visitors who are not logged in shouldn’t be able to see member’s my account options.

Buddybar shown to all users, including a log-in/register link for new users

If you want BuddyBar back, you can create a bp-custom.php file, add following code, and upload to wp-content/plugins/ folder in server

`<?php
// Bring BuddyBar back
add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );
?>`

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/developers/

you should also look at an old plugin called BP Resume it nay be of some use to you…. I tweaked it a bit at smeak.com and it works quite well

>is there something I should have done differently

Nope. That’s what you have to do.

This tool can be useful – also handles serialized data

Database Search and Replace Script in PHP

Forums are done with bbPress plugin and the plugin to add images in the forums https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ Support for bbPress -> https://bbpress.org/forums/

@iconimagery first thing to do is change to WordPress default theme and deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress. I see that you’re using some plugins which have not been updated for latest WP and BP versions, e.g. plugin not updated for the past two years.

When the site’s home page is working again, activate BuddyPress only, change to default theme and check components. I recommend that you check that each plugin is compatible with latest WP and BP before activating it in your installation.

I believe you’ve found a bug.
The Base group allows an admin to set default visibility levels.
I was going to suggest you set each field to “logged-in users” and allow users to change their visibility.

But those settings are not honored on the register form.

You can submit a bug here.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
Log in with the same user / pw you use for these forums.

Also – do you also see “This field can be seen by: etc. ” under each Base field on the register page?
And a ‘change’ link?

There is a check in register.php, but it apparently fails by returning true for logged out users.

`if ( bp_current_user_can( ‘bp_xprofile_change_field_visibility’ ) ) `

claims of working with any theme

@fpats I’ve seen reports where there are themes from themeforest which have failed the easiest route to BP Theme Compatibility enjoyed by almost all WordPress themes. Many possibilities to theme failure. Let’s take a look at what could be causing the failure in your theme and find the best alternative route provided by BP Theme Compat to make it work.

Start a new topic here with your theme name and Theme Compat as title. Copy the source code of your theme’s page.php file, post the code in pastebin.com and post the generated pastebin URI in your topic. BP Theme Compat has alternative methods of making it work, here alone or with the theme author’s participation.

I’m a newbie to php and the wordpress/buddypress way of doing things, and I seem to learn best by seeing examples, so I’m posting my “action” for overriding the allowed tags. I was able to get one other approach to work where I removed filters on bp_activity_filter_kses and added my own, but this version also works and seems cleaner. If anyone knows of a better approach, please let me know. I’m all about optimizing my code.

#*********************************************************
#  set allowable html tags
#*********************************************************
function my_allowed_tags() {
	global $allowedtags;
	$allowedtags = array(
		'a' => array(
			'href' => array (),
			'title' => array ()),
		'abbr' => array(
			'title' => array ()),
		'acronym' => array(
			'title' => array ()),
		'b' => array(),
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite' => array ()),
		'cite' => array (),

		'pre' => array(),
		'del' => array(
			'datetime' => array ()),
		'em' => array (),
		'i' => array (),
		'q' => array(
		'cite' => array ()),
		'strike' => array(),
		'strong' => array(),
		'sub' => array(),
		'sup' => array()
	);

//  adding any additional tags this way because it's easier to read
	$allowedtags['h1']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h2']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h3']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h4']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h5']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h6']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['u']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['center']        = array();
	$allowedtags['big']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['small'] 	       = array();

	$allowedtags['p'] 	       = array();
	$allowedtags['dl']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['dt']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['dd']   	       = array();

	$allowedtags['font']		   = array();
	$allowedtags['font']['size']  = array();
	$allowedtags['font']['color'] = array();
	$allowedtags['font']['face']  = array();

}
add_action( 'bp_activity_allowed_tags', 'my_allowed_tags', 10 );

@larouchj this looks more to be a WordPress issue and how you’re going to adapt your theme’s layout to what you want to do above. Do also post this at the WordPress forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates

You use a language file. Use this plugin to easily edit the language. You can use your same language to just change the text.

@tbermudas The blog posts comment area is in the purview of WordPress by default. There’s a plugin for adding images in blog post comments https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comment-images/

I have it set in gen admin options to allow for registration and all pages necessary for BP with their corresponding links which you can see on the top of my site???

@ghyatt I don’t see any links to the BuddyPress pages at the top of your site using Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Looking at source code however, I see that it’s there and covered via stylesheet of “This is a demo store for testing purposes — no orders shall be fulfilled.” purple band at the top of your site.

1) Not the issue, but recommend fixing -> Some of your BP pages have -2 in the URL like /register-2, /members-2, /activate-2, and /groups-2 which means that you probably moved the original register, members, activate, and groups page to Trash bin but did not delete the pages permanently. So when you created a new Register page for example, -2 was appended to the page slug.

2) Re layout of your BuddyPress pages – looks like your theme has a custom-coded page which does not follow the regular WordPress templating system. That’s why the BP theme compatibility is off, including the missing submit button. Change to Twenty Twelve theme and you’ll see the Submit button in the Register page. You’d need to create a buddypress.php file https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
