BuddyPress.org

Not quite sure what you mean. Look at the navigation style https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7.2/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css#L505 and override or use Firefox add-on Firebug to identify what you need to change

This is the old thread but the same question, I didn’t want to spam here that’s why I will ask the same question here again, I would like to dynamically populate buddypress data into custom post types gravity forms when the user is logged in, I am succesfully populating wordpress user meta, but I don’t know the code in functions.php for buddypress profile fields to make them work, I have already asked on Gravity Help forum, but there are plenty of questions like that and the same as mine question they have never been answered, I hope that maybe somebody from this forum already had to resolve that problem in the past.

function special_bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring( $query_string, $object ) {

    /* Now pass the querystring to override default values. */
    $query_string .= '&type=active&action=active&include='. $list_of_members .'&page=1';

    return $query_string;
}

function my_ajax() {
    add_filter( 'bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring', 'special_bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring', 11, 2 );
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_my_ajax', 'my_ajax' );

Read up on ajax and WordPress on how to safely and properly use it. https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_ajax_(action)

I wrote in the query string but you can send it through the ajax call.

Here is a link to the WP codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/
and to the BP codex

BuddyPress Codex

I would bookmark them both because you will find yourself referencing them often.
Good luck!

@sna2009
The codex is as good a place as any to learn WP and BP. You can search YouTube for videos as well. Lynda.com offers tutorials for a fee, as well as Tutsplus.com . Lisa Sabin-Wilson has several books called WordPress and BuddyPress for dummies but I am not certain how up to date they are with current versions of WP and BP.

I am pretty sure you would have to build the menu manually in your themes header.php if you are trying to get it like the buddyboss demo’s. Depending on your skill level it could be easy to difficult and you would also have to style it and the sub menu’s CSS. I dont know of a plugin or widget that would do it exactly like the buddyboss demo example but you can try this plugin:

I used this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-dashboard-access-for-non-admins and it worked fine with me. 🙂

Have you created a custom menu? Please see:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/
Also it would be helpful to know the WP/BP versions you are using!
In the future please start a new topic instead of replying to one that is almost 2 years old and may contain outdated information.

@jianzhi There are BuddyPress websites in Arabic and Chinese among others, with @ mentions working in their sites.

What language are you using for your site? What’s the character encoding in your site, i.e., database? http://radoff.com/blog/2009/12/03/chinese-characters-in-wordpress/
