BuddyPress.org

I just gave it a shot, you’re right. It works and it doesn’t. It doesn’t send notification emails to the user, nor does it send them notifications on-site. It also doesn’t make the username a clickable link. But it still shows up in the “Latest Update” portion in profiles.

How does it work on your end (or I suppose NOT work)? And if not a custom one, which WordPress theme are you using?

EDIT: Actually, I just woke up and realized that it works completely on my end. The latest update portion part confused me for a second because I remove that on my development websites and I’m not used to ever seeing it.

The above is a bit redundant now, but I’ll leave it. Can you say exactly what it is that you’re trying to do? Are you trying to remove the functionality of mentions when a user starts typing the @ symbol and the username?

It’s essentially a social network plugin for WordPress. Check out the about page: https://buddypress.org/about/

What else have you tried? There are very many posts on this subject in the forum archives that might suggest approaches to take, try a search through them for more information o9n this issue and what other people have tried or suggest as options.

You could install this plugin and see if it helps:

It’s not recommended to duplicate BP omponents.

Instead, consider this plugin

If you can wait for BP 2.2, the new Member Type API which will be introduced will probably allow such kind of customization.

Member Type API

Note to myself: always remember information found on the dev blog 😉

@ad4m_wordpress Codex is another word for documentation, ‘codify’, here it’s the link on the main menu labelled ‘Documentation’ The WP documentation is also referred to as ‘The Codex’.

Your initial requirement would have been served by the simple use of one of the provided BP template tags e.g:
<?php echo bp_core_get_userlink(bp_loggedin_user_id()); ?>
which will render a fully formed link and also takes parameters.

I’m just trying to avoid paying $50 an hour to a programmer who will take 30 seconds to do this for me.

In that case you will need to learn to code! That is how you will avoid the skilled services of a developer 🙂

On lines 471-474 in that plugins custom-login-redirect.php maybe try switching this:

<option value="">Default</option>
    <?php if (get_option('custom_login_redirect_display6','yes') == 'yes'){ ?>
	  <option value="<?php home_url ?>wp-admin/">Dashboard</option>
	<?php } ?>

To to something like this:

<option value="">My Profile Wall</option>
    <?php if (get_option('custom_login_redirect_display6','yes') == 'yes'){ ?>
	  <option value="<?php home_url . '/members/' . bp_core_get_username( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) . '/profile/' ?>My Profile Wall</option>
	<?php } ?>

Note that I haven’t tested this at all so test at your own discretion.

@ad4m_wordpress
Just out of curiosity what plugin are you referring to that creates this dropdown box on the login screen? Most plugins can be modified to suit your needs if you don’t mind editing the code.

@ad4m_wordpress
Not really sure what your trying to accomplish but you need to understand the dynamic nature when a user logs in and is redirected to their profile is in PHP language and there is no full html equivalent that could pull that info from the database to take that user to their profile.
I am certain you will have to use PHP to make this happen. If you copy and pasted the snippet in the link I supplied into bp-custom.php it shouldn’t take a few minutes and is very simple.

@ad4m_wordpress
See my snippet here for one solution:

Redirect logged out visitors to home, and logged in users to profile

@ad4m_wordpress Please check the BP Codex documentation you’ll find much of the information you seek there.

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

See the WP Codex to get the answer: codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress

The order of %1$s and %2$s is not important.

If you code directly your language into the string, you can write as usual RTL and place %2$s first write something, add %1$s and write another thing…

That said, and if you are using a RTL language like hebrew (as i suppose), you may have some special characters which are (perhaps) not recognized by gettext. And in this case you have to use unicode, in other words, HTML letters.

The orignal created a new Project is translated to יצר פרויקט חדש
But i don’t know much about hebrew (or persian or arabic) characters.
Search from here how to get rid of this:
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language
or see here:
http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/hebrew.html

And apologize if you use another RTL language.

That area is controlled by WordPress, not BuddyPress

Try this in bp-custom.php or your theme/functions.php
