BuddyPress.org

@theworldsstage Appearance > Menus features those built-in admin widgets for Pages, Custom Links, and Categories. Add the Categories you want to the Menu https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide

I too am looking to create a link in the Appearance > Menu area of WordPress to a users profile and also messages area. I am using Buddypress 2.0.1 and do not see how this is done. My Menu area does not have a buddpress links option here or in the theme options?

Use this hook.

See example re setting an action.

Thanks. I’ll try this as time permits.

In the meantime I can share with @josephfrio13yahoocom what I know about changing the BuddyPress subnav section:

1. You’ve seen a working example of creating a new subnav in the code I posted earlier. Just substitute your own output function for the xprofile_screen_change_avatar function in the line:

add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'xprofile_screen_change_avatar' );

2. To remove a subnav item see my post here.

3. To change the default subnav, which you will have to do if you want to delete a default subnav, see the BuddyPress codex here, which has a nice example.

I’m sure Henry could do better, but I hope this gets you started. All of this can be done in a functions.php file. No modifications of the BP core should be necessary.

@simonvrolijk BP requires “pretty permalinks” to work, not “almost pretty permalinks” via appending index.php for Windows servers as I checked your Members Directory page at http://thesocialeconomy.nl/index.php/members/

Possible Solutions:

Hi Guys,

I’m also experiencing this issue with a broken registration form.
Fresh wp + buddypress install.

WP_DEBUG doesn’t report anything… the registration form just fails silently on submit.
I don’t have any weird directory naming going on like hope mentioned above^
I just had a fresh test wp install setup on mamp at http://localhost:8888/wordpress/
Tried renaming this dir in case it was some reserve word issue with ‘wordpress’… still no luck.

wp 3.9.1
bp 2.0.1

cheers,

So, I’ve been combing these forums for weeks for a very similar problem, and being that this is the closest solution post, I thought I would ask here, extending the support for this problem.

I would like to redirect users during login in the following manner:

If logging in from the front page (site, not user): redirect to user profile
If logging in from anywhere else: redirect to original url (where original url is the url where the login process was initiated)

Currently I am forced to run the following for backwards compatibility reasons:
WP: 3.7.3
php: 5.3.10
bbPress: 2.5.3
BuddyPress: 1.9.2 +5 complimentary plugins

Active Plugins
45+ with the most relevant being:
BadgeOS: 1.3.5 +4 complimentary plugins
Bowe Codes: 2.1
BP My Home: 2.0
BP RedirecttoProfileforBuddypress: 1.2
BP Simple Front End Post: 1.1.4
BuddyBlog: 1.0.4

I’ve tried to edit the redirect plugin mentioned often here as well as with no luck.

Here is a sample of one of my latest attempts (a modification on redirect to profile plugin):

add_filter("login_redirect","bpme_redirect_to_profile",100,3);

function bpme_redirect_to_profile( $redirect_to_calculated, $redirect_url_specified, $user ){
	/* if no redirect was specified,let us think we want the current page */
	if( empty( $redirect_to_calculated ) )
		$redirect_to_calculated=$redirect_url_specified;
	
	/* if the user is site admin or not and it's the front page,redirect to his/her profile */
	if( is_super_admin( $user->ID ) && is_front_page() )
		return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) . 'profile/';
	if( !is_super_admin( $user->ID ) && is_front_page() )
		return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) . 'profile/';
	else
		return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/

}

(I recognize that the admin user check is redundant, that was part of some debugging I was doing)

I find that every time I try to check for the front page, something happens to interrupt the redirect process. Without a check for front page: Working great! With the check for front page: No Bueno! I’ve been using several debugging plugins and if I understand them correctly, most of the issue has to do with the sidebar login location (it seems to ignore wp_login and login_redirect hooks/filters) and checking for the front page.

I tried many other plugins and most of the code (with minor adjustments for my needs) that was offered on the forums here, including the Ajax one, but most of our login process is done through the sidebar and they just don’t ever get called or triggered during the sidebar login process.

I would love some advice on how to adjust what I have and get it working properly.

Your help is appreciated, thanks!

I personally haven’t tested this plugin with BP but if your adventurous you can give it a try.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-multiple-themes/
It supposed to allow use of more than one theme. Good luck!

@titoesco Activate BuddyPress and configure BP settings activating the Extended Profiles component only. BP is compatible with nearly all WordPress themes.

I had the same issue, and I resolved it without deleting files and database.

To show group avatar, Buddypress uses a setting from wordpress. When it is disabled, Buddypress won’t show your group avatar. So, in admin, go to Settings > Discussion and make sure Show avatars is checked in Avatars section (you can find it at the bottom of the page).

Once I checked it, avatars started to show on my site. I hope it will be the same for you.

It’s not just avatars, it’s all images that are coming from what I guess is the old site.

How did you move your site?

Did you update the htaccess file?

Did you do a search & replace on the database to change urls?
