BuddyPress.org

@chouf1 if I always display the admin bar for wordpress will that login to buddypress too? are they same thing?

@bphelp: Thank you, I’ll give it a try.

@Hugo: Yes, I believe I share your opinion too. Basically the theme is good in design, easy to modify, simple in control, and which is why at first I chose this theme for my client since they have basic knowledge in handling wordpress backend admin. I also found the author is so far responsive in updating issues that came up.

I still see it as a short period issue which soon be tackled by the author, and the theme is still very much recommendable.

Thanks again

@Mercime: This is the theme which I previously used. You can view it here. I hope the author will make an update on these issues.

Thanks.

Now I just have the problem of changing the Members text to ‘My Profile’ and making it link to the user’s profile page.

There’s a good article here:

Sorry for the delay @mercime

WordPress : Version 3.5.1 (multi-site – multi-domain)

Thanks so much for your time 🙂

Hi Hugo, you’re right, it is the theme. I use the default test theme and everything turns out fine.

But why it is said the theme I use is compatible to run buddypress in wordpress.org themes option?
Its a nice theme by the way, but I think they should exclude it. Can give people a hard time.

The web is for my client and now I’m really in trouble, because they agreed on the theme already and I should be making delivery this weekend. First I thought is just some string problem somewhere.

I’m shutting it down for today and hope I can come up with a better idea.

Thank you Hugo and really appreciate if you have some idea on any optional theme available.

Thanks again.

Hello again, I just wanted to let you know that I completely deleted WordPress from my server, and then reinstalled it. I then reinstalled BuddyPress. The 310 error has gone away!!! I wish I knew what caused the error to begin with so that I don’t make the same mistake again, but oh well, I will continue moving forward. Thanks for your time.

It’s been a while since my original post, but I think I’ve figured this out and I hope this helps someone else.  The original problem changed a bit too.  Basically, now I want to show a profile group based on the value in an xprofile field (when editing a profile).  So, if my User Category field for a logged in user says Recruiter, then I want to show the profile group called “Recruiter” (show this for admins too).  Otherwise, I want to hide this profile group through php.

Thanks to the hint above, I was able to come up with a function in my child theme’s function.php file.

I’m just learning php/wordpress, and I don’t have a clear understanding why this works.  I do know that $group_name[3] is the Recruiter profile group.  Also, I do realize this snippet uses awful coding practices.  If anyone has improvements, please let me know.

function my_recruit($group_name){

if ( is_site_admin() || xprofile_get_field_data( “User Category”)===”Recruiter”) {

echo $group_name[0];

echo $group_name[1];

echo $group_name[2];

echo $group_name[3];

}

else {

echo $group_name[0];

echo $group_name[1];

echo $group_name[2];

}

}

add_filter(‘xprofile_filter_profile_group_tabs’,’my_recruit’);
