BuddyPress.org

Oh ? Awesome !
And have you inserted the register form ?

Create A Responsive Pop-up Login Box for WordPress

or use a plugin.

hi @peti446,

Sorry, this is not clear:

to send buddypress information to register it then

Do you want to make a register page ?

The register template is here: /buddyress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/members/register.php

Register and Activation Pages

Other information about registering are on the WP codex.

OK. I have the same issue as quite a few users. I went to the themes area and activated Twenty Fourteen. It still doesn’t work. I changed to Anyone Can Register, still doesn’t work. Added an htaccess.txt file with the WP code found on the wordpress site. Overall I spent the better part of the day with issues. I cannot access the register page, it is using blurbble/register even though I set the Permalink to Postname like http://blurbble.com/index.php/sample-post/ . I uninstalled and reinstalled buddypress and still nothing. If any help could be given it would be appreciated.

@evilben,

go to dashboard > users > profile fields.
Required field on registration form should be added to the NAME field group.
There is a date field type for birthdates. Set it to required, viewable by everyone

Another solution here (not tested)

Hi @yamaryam,

What is recommended ? No clue ! Don’t make mistake ? Don’t forget the milk bottle ? 😉

The theory

1) install / configure WordPress
2) activate 2014 theme
3) checking every thing is ok
4) activate network
5) checking every thing is ok
6) install / configure BuddyPress
7) checking every thing is ok
8) enjoy your dashboard: one for the main site and one for the network
9) don’t forget the milk bottle

Headache ?

@ayatango,

golden rule: never change a core file.

If you want to customize things you should use a child theme. And to ad/remove or modify core functions, you should use your child theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php

In create.php are 18 hooks you can use to add some custom explanation !
In your case, you may hook into do_action( 'bp_before_group_details_creation_step' );

Understanding Action Hooks In WordPress

@thatmtnman

Is that correct? YES !

The rest of your topic, even if respectable, is a bit due to your inhabitude of BP i guess. And probably also of some WP usage around pages.
You can create as many pages as you want with WP. The difference between a page and post in WP is tiny, but very important. Both are post, but not with the same type ($post_type->post and $post_type->page). All this is detailled on the WP Codex.

BuddyPress is a plugin and use his component pages only for internal puprpose – because WP need them to work with BP… and conversely!

BP is shipped with some widgets, including a member’s widget with 3 filters letting you do exactly what you discribe.

For other custom use of buddypress, you can search for dedicated buddypress plugins on the plugin repo.

@allveganspot,

if you have only one blog, you can give a author status to desired members.
If you have a multisite install, each member can create his own blog.

Updates are acessible to any member and can be used with videos and photos.

If you need some fake content to see how BP&bbBP are working together, use BP Default Data plugin.

Hi @beenvy2

The colour can be changed via CSS. If you’re not familiar with CSS, take a look at this tutorial to get you started.

Info specific to WordPress can be found in the CSS Codex article.

I wouldn’t advise editing the user IDs in the database as I have no idea what would happen when WordPress wants to allocate an ID to the next newest member and you’ve already used that particular ID.

Which number would you like to start at? If it’s not very big then you could always create some dummy users yourself which would take up the first few IDs? Once real users begin to sign up you can delete the dummy users. To my knowledge, the dummy user IDs won’t get recycled.

@sapinfoasap,

use some wordpress filter to achieve this correctly.
Read this tutorial.

Hi @bacigaloop

Posts are displayed by single.php. Take a look in your theme to see if there is a hook available in that file. If not you could always add one yourself by creating a child theme.

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

@sapinfoasap,

Remove get_sidebar from the template ! Must be done on a child theme / check first your theme support.
Get an idea of how to do this here (as example)

@dylss505,

it’s an old topic related to BP 1.7. And @mercime already answered to the same question as yours.
Read about troubleshooting on the BP Codex.

FYI wp codex gives also general advice on how to debug. You may also find many related topics on this forum.

Please open a new topic and give your install type, theme name and used plugin and explain your problem, when it arrived, what you already tried, etc

Hi @jabbajabba,

create first a child-theme and add this snippet into functions.php or bp-custom.php

We are going to use one of the existing action hook in the group header template and add it a custom function.

function jabbajabba() {
	echo '<a href="#">click here</a>';
}
//add_action( 'bp_before_group_header_meta', 'jabbajabba' );
//add_action( 'bp_group_header_actions', 'jabbajabba' );
add_action( 'bp_group_header_meta', 'jabbajabba' );

The snippet has 2 commented action, so you can choose the best place for your link button.

Reference file is
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/single/group-header.php

oopsy spoke too quick, sorry. doing_action( ‘admin_init’ ) is only available since WordPress 3.9
