BuddyPress.org

Are you using a plugin to create your user levels? If so, which one? WordPress supports roles and capabilities for users by default, but doesn’t have numeric levels.

If s2member have a look at their documentation for if queries on member level.

@b1gft there are a couple of simple ways to go about deleting “freshness” from group forums

1. Simplest of the rest -> Just add the following at the bottom of your theme’s style.css file
`span.time-since { display: none !important; }`

or 2. Copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.6/bp-themes/bp-default/forums/forums-loop.php to your themes /forums folder, open it up and delete line #85

or 3. filter bp_the_topic_time_since_last_post in functions.php

You can adapt a theme to work with BuddyPress, your first port of call for that is to use this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Hi, have you checked if the latest pack on Suffiusion supports the latest WordPress/BuddyPress? I see this:

WordPress 3.0 or higher
Suffusion 3.6.8 or higher.
BuddyPress 1.2 or higher

To me, that may be the issue is that it is not compatible. I’d probably suggest contacting the pack authors to confirm.

Hi, @raminjan you can certainly achieve that, both making it yourself working at code level or (what I suggest) start with a plugin that achieves the “private community” functionality and set yourself a “front page” (you’ll use a modified version of the login page I guess ).

Here are some helpful links on how to do what you need:

And if someone could be extra kind and create a trac ticket for this over at https://BuddyPress.trac.WordPress.org — be sure to link back to this discussion — I’ll be your BFF.

It’s straightforward to do in BuddyPress – @hotsitez has already pointed you to the basic function for echoing profile field values (which is also documented in member-header.php), and I’ve told you which files you need to look at.

As a PHP coder, you should be able to walk through those files to find the appropriate points in the code to hook actions in or modify your templates. You should also be able to search the BuddyPress codebase to find profile field functions you can call — start with the one @hotsitez gave you.

You can also look on the documentation (codex) area of this site for information about the profile field loop which may help you further – and point you to how base and other profile field groups are handled.

[Edit: and, if you want to learn about the action, filtering paradigm for development, you can find introductory articles on the wordpress.org codex]

On multisite, all user registration is tunnelled through the same place. This is a standard WordPress behaviour. So yes, they’d see the BuddyPress registration templates.

Yes. Just put them into your theme, as you would on any WordPress-powered site.

You’ll probably need to upgrade your BuddyPress version for compatibility with the latest version of WordPress.

Unfortunately, a number of look / feel aspects typically change when you upgrade BuddyPress (particularly coming from a relatively old version). It often requires developer support to upgrade and retain your site’s design.

Some questions that will help you get further support:

What version of BuddyPress are you on / were you on previously?

Which ‘off the shelf’ theme (if any) are you using?

If bespoke theme – is it a child of another theme – which version?

@michaeljdornan best place to ask is at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-multi-network wpmuguru does answer forum questions

Having said that, you can try this plugin which I know works with the other BP MultiNetwork plugin by sbrajesh http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-join-blog-widget-for-wordpress-multisite/

For details on adding a search form to a page, check out this documentation on WordPress.org.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Search_Page

To add your page to the main nav menu, visit Appearance.. Menus in wp-admin and configure your menu.
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/

And finally, the other page you are seeing is just the standard 404 page (page not found), which contains a search form by default.

@ndugger I don’t know of a plugin that supports these permissions — so, you’d would need to get your hands dirty in the PHP code. I would suggest assigning WordPress user roles to members, and then in the group template files enabling / disabling the Join capability based on user role.

We (21inspired) have some plans with regard to photo albums, but they are a little way off.

it’s not a function itself… it’s a call to the do_action() function, passing ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’ as the parameter. The call is being made in sidebar.php in the bp-default template folder.

You can find these things by searching through a buddypress install in any good code editor / development environment.

do_action() itself is defined in the core WordPress files. In this case, do_action() will invoke any functions that you hook onto the bp_after_sidebar_me action.

@frank13 — there is no specific script for a do_action ( ‘abc123’ );

You have to register functions (hooks) that are invoked by the do_action — check out these pages from the WordPress Codex for more information on programming actions: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

@ploupas On the theme end, Mystique is version 2.5.7 in the WP theme repo. https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mystique. Based on scan of its current page.php, my instructions above still hold.

== I can’t seem to save/change the Page Attributes of the BuddyPress created pages. ==

It’s because you can’t do that at this time @blinkybill01.
BP pages are using the BP template files transferred during the compatibility process, the very same files we’re going to revise here.

== Also, I’ve noticed that with the most recent WordPress update, I’ve been getting more and more 406 errors. Is this something I should contact my hosting company about? ==

Haven’t encountered those errors yet. Yes, you should contact your webhost since 406 errors are usually related to suhosin security extension or Apache mod_security and the like.

To learn about template files in WordPress, your best starting point is the WordPress docs: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
