Hi @thetinus,

first of, two advice:
http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/why-you-should-never-upload-a-video-to-wordpress/
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/why-videos-should-never-be-uploaded-to-wordpress

To your question a) & b)
yes you can code a custom (user) profile page. And yes you can use a player on it.
But all depends of the number of videos attributed to each user, how many user will use this, the config of your server and of course your personnal knowledge about templating BP and php coding.

Also, embeding hosted videos on profiles from official WP providers is very very easy – and powerfull. Doing the same from your own server is a bit more delicate to handle.

BuddyPress Theme Development

If you have questions, please ask only one by topic and try to be very specific and detailed.
what you want to do
what you already did – give example or pastebin your code
and what you think should work and doesn’t.

thank you !

Should i change template to deactivate this plugin?

Yes, try this first. then activate 2013 theme.
Deactivate also all plugins except BP and reactivate them one by one to find the culprit. If everything goes well with the plugins, you reactivate your theme.

If you used bp-custom for some changes, remove the file while testing.
Also in your theme, if you tweaked functions.php, remove it and replace it with the original functions file.

Same recommendation if you use a child-theme. Remove it completely during your test.

But before deinstalling definetly BuddyPress, i would take a moment to see what happens with my install.

I’ve been using this plugin for a long, long, time to help with both development and member support:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/

It’s a very cool little piece of code that might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Hope that helps.

A logged in user is logged by role. This means that a super admin (independantly of the name) is always a super admin.
On the same maner, a subscriber role is always a subscriber, independantly of his name.

Now if you need to “see” what a subscriber (or an author, or an editor) can see, you have to asign to yourself an account of a subscriber (or an author, or an editor).

So this answer is correct:
If you want to login as a user, you have to create that account first and than login as that user.

Hallo @1a-spielwiese,

when checking the source code of http://www.1a-spielwiese.de/register/ you can see that, aside the missing buttons, the footer is also missing and at least mainly of the ending tags such as body and html…

I would try to deactivate the custom css plugin and use a child-theme to do minor css modification for entry titles.

Twenty Twelve Theme

I tested the snippet and applied the patch to 2.0.2 and it works. So i guess you did something wrong. 🙁

BP 2.1 is expected in 12 days !

Agree with @shanebp!

I’m trying to isolate an apparent quirk in BuddyPress having to do with an embedded user avatar image (via shortcode) not linking properly to the user profile…

To my knowledge, BP doesn’t supply shortcodes? I suspect if you search your theme for something like add_shortcode( 'shortcode-name-here' and look in the hook’s code, therein you’ll find the problem.

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_shortcode

BuddyPress uses the bbPress plugin for forums.
So you’re better off asking the question on https://bbpress.org/forums/

What you want may be possible, to start, see:

Allowing inline images uploads in posts?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

I think to avoid conflict you can add

add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );

in your child theme function.php file.

For more info visit the following link.

BP Theme Authors: make sure your theme registers 'buddypress' support

Hope this would help others in the community.

Hi @becks-star

bp_profile_after_header isn’t a function. It’s an action hook. You would usually write a function of your own and ‘hook’ it to bp_profile_after_header.

For example:

function my_callback() {
    // Do something amazing...
}
add_action( 'bp_profile_after_header', 'my_callback' );

You can read more about hooks here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks

Hi @lerroy,

try this plugin
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forget-username-ajax

Hi @brodskis,

there is an old plugin who may already work with 2.x (not tested)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-portfolio/

and this one, but as profile widget
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-widgets/

Hi @brodskis

Have you tried rtMedia?

Hi @packjazz,

One of the main uses of cookies within BuddyPress is in template message display. In this case, cookies are used to store generated error or success messages and display them after the page has been reloaded.

If you try searching the BP code base for setcookie, you should find how else BP utilises cookies.

Note: WordPress probably utilises cookies too.

Wanted to mention here for the benefit of future searchers (or Michael if you’re still looking for a solution!) that we had the same need and built a plugin which does exactly what is described above.

The plugin is called the NS Cloner and is available for free in the wordpress.org plugins repository. It adds a network admin page where you can select a source site and then create a perfect duplicate complete with all content, plugin settings, etc.

Ok the count seems to be only a cosmetic change for the member directory.
See an original picture of this here.
A bit strange to use this trick as it exist and can be alered with css, but authors are sometimes strange….

What is the theme you use ? Maybe it contains some other “strange” things ? 😉
