I have searched the forum for an answer and can’t find what I need
I need our member list to sort by Last Name instead of username. I have very limited (VERY) experience with making code changes, but I’m not afraid to try.
Running WordPress 4.0
BuddyPress 2.1
site is http://www.homepatriots.com
Thanks for any help!
>Okay, it worked!!!
You mean using the register_activation_hook ?
btw – you should still check to see if the field exists before you create it – to avoid duplications if they deactivate / reactivate the plugin.
Or delete the field by using this hook:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_deactivation_hook
>can you please tell me what if it’s in the functions.php file, do I need to use the bp_init then or something else?
Perhaps bp_loaded is more appropriate, you’ll have to try it and find out.
BP related functions are usually placed in bp-custom.php

Here’s a weird one:
Say I have a WordPress site at domain.com The site also has a portion powered by BuddyPress.
Now, while I want the BuddyPress/community portion to be public, I don’t want every WordPress-registered user to automatically also have a BuddyPress profile page.
Is it possible?
For a plugin, instead of bp_init, use:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_activation_hook
note: I’m not sure BP is loaded before that hook is called.
Or you could use bp_init, but in your function, check for the existence of the xprofile field before you create it.
btw – you don’t need the global in that function.
Hi @jencina,
set the registration page as homepage. (dashboard > Setting > Front page view).
Make also a child theme and add a copy of the register.php file who is in /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/ and add it to your child, using the same path.
/your-theme/buddypress/members/register.php
On this copy you can add/remove and make any change you want for your new homepage.

Modifying the Registration Form
Hi @bnowthen,
this is one of the most common thing you can do with BuddyPress. 😉 .
To do that, you have to read the Codex, about members loop.
First, you will create a child-theme of 2014.
Than you add a folder called buddypress to it.
In this folder, you add a sub folder called members.
You than make a copy of members-loop.php.
This file is in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/
Now, you open the copied file and replace the content of line 16.
Replace this:
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) ) ) : ?>
with this:
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&type=alphabetical' ) ) : ?>
Save and enjoy.

Members Loop
I want to make the members list page default to an alphabetical sort.
I’ve searched through BuddyPress forums and tried a couple things suggested in the past, but they didn’t work.
I’m using BuddyPress Version 2.0.2 in WordPress 2014 theme.
I don’t know much php, so if you have the answer, I need to be told where exactly to insert or edit any code.
Would greatly appreciate any help.

Hi @noise,
did you searched in existing plugins ?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?page=2&q=race+result+plugin
My 2 cents:
Ideally, the admin would enter in the results for each user for each race.
well, this let’s you to be so only plugin user. No need for a specific BP plugin in this case.
From the plugin, you fetch the datas and insert them into a profile textbox called “result” Original isn’t it ? This work can more or less be automated. Depends of the plugin i guess.
On the members directory, you output the content of the result box under each member name/avatar.
Based on this thread, I’ve created a new ticket:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5831
Hello all,
I have a site that is currently installed on GoDaddy, and was installed via their “special” install method. I am planning on the following:
1. Migrate the site to WPEngine
2. Transfer the DNS to CloudFlare
3. Transfer the Registration to BlueHost
4. Go live with the current version of the site
5. Install BuddyPress
I inherited this project, so before I do this, the one “unknown” attribute for me is the GoDaddy install. I usually use BlueHost on all my hostings, until I started with WPEngine, so I know how to do the backup and migration that way. However, since the GoDaddy “special” install is notorious, and a new one for me, I wanted to check that if a standard migration is going to work, or would I have to rebuild the site from scratch on WPEngine in order to allow BuddyPress to work? My worry is that because the database is where the problems are on GoDaddy, that those problems would migrate with me to WPEngine.

Not yet running BuddyPress
I did nothing since trying the script yesterday and I myself receive stil this ‘redirecting error’-message.
Would it be useful to give you the passwords for my WordPress-Installation, my FTP-Server and my MySQL-Database for checking them? – Of course, afterwards I would change password.
@bp-help I added or wrote what the message holder asked me to add, “current version of wordpress” current version of buddypress” and link to site so that’s what I did, it didn’t ask for anything else and I didn’t know..
Anyhow, I figured it out this morning, the homepage was cached and the registration link had been changed since it was cached when we opened the site a month ago. I went in and removed the cached files from the server/database and now everything is working fine.
Thanks
You’ll have a better chance of getting an answer if you use the support forum for that plugin:

Hello @multimartin,
2 nd question:
in the private blog settings, general > reading > search engine visibility, check disallow box. This will hide any of the private blog activities to appear on site activity and user feeds, except for those who are members of this blog.
If it is not enough, considerer this plugin

Hello,
I have a WordPress MU installation with BuddyPress activated network-wide. I would like the posts from different blog sites to be available on a user’s newsfeed.
However, there is one site which must remain private. Is there a way that I can prevent this website from feeding into the newsfeed/profile of users?

For whatever reason my registration page is not working, I found this out because a few people have emailed to let me know that it wont let them register.
After filling out the registration form and then clicking “complete signup” it automatically comes right back to the registration page with no activation or activation email.
It was working fine now all of a sudden nothing, anyone have any ideas? all plugins are up to date including wordpress and buddypress, cache is clear, permalinks updated… I need to get this fixed as soon as possible, its turning many away after paying to promote the site. HELP….

I’m using WordPress 3.9.2 with BuddyPress 2.0.2. I’m building a new theme and on the registration page I’d like to use the placeholder attribute instead of a label to guide users through the setup. It was easy enough to move the php into a new placeholder attribute for the input fields in the basic-details-section, but since the profile-details-section is different, there is no input field to add a placeholder attribute. How might I accomplish the same thing in the profile field (I only have the default one) that I did with the others?
Hi,
I love the activity feature I get when I’m logged as admin. In my CP I just click the icon and get a list of posts, replies and who registers in neat order.
My users can’t get this, nor can they get decent info from the activity option from the drop down top menu… or can they?

— I followed there: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18772055 the “using this script”-link to: http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
— I downloaded the script from there; I extracted the zip-file. I renamed the folder at issue.
— I uploaded the mentioned folder.
— I tried to address within in my browser 1a-spielwiese.de/NAME-OF-MENTIONED-FOLDER.
— I get again only the “Umleitungsfehler”-message.
OK !
maybe this can help you go further….
I can edit the htaccess file, but couldn’t figure out where to put a htpasswd file due to the WordPress rewrite rules. So, I can edit the file but was unable to edit it in such a way that it worked.
I’m using Bluehost, their basic plan. It’s a shared host / shared IP. I can access FTP.
I have already searched the forum on this topic, but not found anything specifically addressing this. Someone did cryptically answer a similar question, describing a solution as, “difficult” without elaborating why/how.
have you salt keys in your wp-content.php ?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18771957/wordpress-does-not-properly-display-css-file
and use the given script to check the db.
aside, @r-a-y responded on the ticket. Unsurprisingly, like me, he couldn’t replicate the issue
Which theme do you use ?
And have you already created a child-theme ?

Generally such modification can be done by CSS.
