BuddyPress.org

Perhaps something like Buddypress Media?

A quick Google – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/screenshots/

I can see you have created a mouse over drop down menu with the community page as the parent. As I’m sure you are aware, the community page is one that you created yourself, not one that Buddypress created during the BP wizard installation.

You have no content in your community page because you have not added any. If you need some, you could add some but I would suggest that if you don’t, you should just add a custom link instead.

The way to do this is to navigate to WP/Appearance/Menu’s:

In the custom links widget located in the left sidebar add a # as the URL and in the label box add the text – Community. Then add to menu and replace your current Community (Page Menu) with the new one. (Remove the old one and delete the community page if it is no longer needed.)

Other than that, all seems to look OK, your drop down menu with all the BP pages is showing and links to their pages seem in order.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for, sorry if I have misunderstood your question in any way.

As a suggestion perhaps you should consider altering the CSS in the theme to adjust your menu text. It is very hard to read. (The drop down links visibility are just fine) As for how to go about that, I would suggest asking the theme author over at Elegant Themes.

Also, if my answer was the one you were seeking, I would advise that the WordPress forums would be a better place to start in the future. (Unless, your question is directly BP related of course)

🙂

I suggest the use of  Buddypress Extended Settings, a great plugin. https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-extended-settings

Could you perhaps explain what you are hoping to see on the front page.

Buddypress will not just appear on the homepage of a website, just because you have installed it.

If you wish to see links to the buddypress pages they you must familiarise yourself with the WordPress menu system: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide

If you wish to see a complete, specific Buddypress page as your homepage (Example – Activity) Then you would navigate to WP/Settings/Reading – Select a static page option, and choose the page you want as your homepage from the dropdown. (Again these are basic WordPress settings, not Buddypress)

If the above solutions are not what you are looking for, could you please explain a little better in what you are actually hoping to achieve.

Can only surmise that the theme author could have deregistered default WP jquery and loaded his own version or could be another reason.

To try to resolve possible issues yourself, install and activate both:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-check/ – go through this first
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/developer/ –

Try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restricted-site-access/

`
Just place this between opening and closing php tags in the bp-custom.php file:

`
On the below line you can change the /register to the page you want them redirected too!
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
For example:
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/activity’ );

Whoa – great question/post @mcgrafx!

I’ve spent the better part of the past ~ 14 months doing:

1. Customized, professional child theme designs for Buddypress (The design takes the most time) √
2. Many levels of membership (some paid, some free) √
3. Many++ sleepless nights to do points 1 & 2 (on WordPress multisite + Buddypress + bbPress)

Many of the issues you’ve mentioned, particularly the contracts/fees/maintenance are issues I’ve struggled with in the past, and to a certain extent still do with some clients/projects. I’ll re-read this closer next week, but one thing, only based on my own experience working with buddypress & bbPress w/ clients is that anything involving buddypress (particularly with any full-design customization w/ child themes &/or custom plugin/functionality development as you’ve mentioned) is a ‘significant’ commitment of time + resources on both sides of the table. In my experience, very little happens along the path to ‘outside-the-box-customization’ auto-magically with buddypress! If it were me, I’d ask for 1. a retainer 2. a monthly or yearly mutually-binding contract (depending on the scope/scale – with separate parts for developing the site + future-maintenance ). You could also think about 3. a percentage of future revenue, but that might be more closely tied with being a co-founder & could basically dilute the potential for points 1 & 2.

Still, a great & difficult question – good luck!

For buddypress specific pages see this thread:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-community-with-public-wordpress/
For post and pages you could try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-members/

hi @adrian_22,

give this a try: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wysija-newsletters/

Hi @hsutliff,

try by adding this to your theme functions.php
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’,  ‘wpautop’ );

If you want to know all filters used on xprofile, simply read the file /bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php
About wpautop: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpautop

Don’t quite understand

i dont think its supported anymore

The plugin author still replies to queries at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-user-frontend up to, well, 30 minutes ago !

Am glad though that

wp user frontend brought me much closer to what I wanted!

There was another plugin Quick Post Widget which was really superb but unfortunately vulnerabilities were identified and apparently it was withdrawn from the wordpress repository and to-date has not been updated. I presume a good coder (not me) could fork this so that the vulnerabilities were eliminated!

@saukgp try http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddyblog-allow-users-to-blog-from-their-buddypress-profile/ cool thing is that the posts created by the user will be shown in user’s BP profile page as well.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

This plugin blocks any activity type you define.

I am absolutely certain I’ve answered this same question somewhere else, a few days ago. Please don’t ask for support for the same issue multiple times. I’d prefer Welcome Pack questions on the WordPress.org plugin support forums, too, please 🙂

Depending on your computer, you need to hold CTRL and click on each item. If you’re on a Mac, hold the CMD key.

This needs to go on Cubepoints’ support forum on WordPress.org.

– What you need to know about WordPress MU : https://mu.wordpress.org/

– While using WP 3.5.1 you can activate a network by adding define multisite=true into wp-config.
Aside, you have two possibilities: sub-folder sites (hxxp://example.com/my_second_site/ or sub-directory site (my_second_site.example.com/) This choice need a wildcard on your host DNS. Both need also some consequent storage capabilities and preferably a VPS/VPN/dedicated server.
– The main site is where WP is installed (normally at the root > hxxp://example.com/wp-content, etc)

– Now you install BP and give your members the possibility to create a blog (or not, and you create them yourself). Those blogs will appear on the BP Blog Directory. Each blog has his own admin interface and individual settings and theming. From the main blog you have to allow or not some of these settings and themes/plugins

– <cite>BP Root Blog and for what purpose?</cite> defining a root blog gives priority to the designed blog over other blogs, activities and different other informations (i.e  latest post in the latest post widget) Secondary blog posts will only appear in the site wide activity and on their own sidebar, if the latest post widget is set (for example).

BP shows only a community style template sytem (over some customised components), but it is WP who manage the network.

i recommand you to read the WP codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
https://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration

also test a fully operationnal BP install on http://testbp.org/ to try to undestand how all this works. 🙂

is it the adminbar u are talking about… the gray thing in the top that says buddypress.org this should be translated together with your wordpress site 😉
