Sorry I’ve just read about this issue. Having it fixed in 6.0.0 seems difficult as there’s no ticket about it in Trac and the release is scheduled to the end of this month. If it’s just adding a hook available in the /wp-login.php page then, why not but if Plugins adding these checkboxes are using different hooks it can be challenging.
Could you open a ticket on Trac ( https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket ) and eventually find out what is the name of the WP hook these plugins are using to try to have it fixed asap ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sorry for not listening to the rules! Here is a better version of my previous post –
I am using WordPress 5.3 and I am actually using a theme called BuddyBoss to implement Buddyboss but that shouldn’t matter for my question.
So I created a custom function where any time a user gets a tag, they automatically receive a private message. I would like to make these messages stand out a little from the other messages in a users inbox/thread by adding special styling. Would it be possible to put a border around this message? Below is the code I am using:
Thank you! Simmi
function send_message_to_student_113( $user_id, $tags_applied ) {
$tag_id = wp_fusion()->user->get_tag_id( ‘course tag 1.1.1’ );
if ( in_array( $tag_id, $tags_applied ) ) {
$args = array(
‘sender_id’ => 1,
‘thread_id’ => false,
‘recipients’ => $user_id,
‘subject’ => ‘Hello there’,
‘content’ => ‘You got a new tag! Congratulations. Please let me know if you need any help!’,
‘date_sent’ => bp_core_current_time()
);
$result = messages_new_message( $args );
}
}
add_action( ‘wpf_tags_applied’, ‘send_message_to_student_113’, 10, 2 );
I think BuddyPress just uses the standard WP login page so https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form has info on customising or even replacing the page.
On one of my sites I created a completely new page following this guide, https://themetrust.com/build-custom-wordpress-login-page/
It should be simple enough to create a custom page that disables the login button unless the checkbox is selected.
Hello
Wordpress 5.4 & Buddypress 5.1.2 installed on a subdomain.
I am setting up a community site with Buddypress.
It looks nice but I am not yet able to set it the way I would like it 🙁
I don’t know if it’s possible, but how can I set up a new group so that:
1) Members can respond directly to it
2) That response is therefore visible under that particular group
3) Other drawers can also respond to this
4) If a member other than that group opens or joins it, sees all those reactions and can possibly participate in the discussion?
5) That the whole discussion stays under that group and becomes visible as soon as someone opens that group?
Now when I open a group I don’t see an opportunity to post a comment anywhere as a member.
Another lock-down option is: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-simple-private/
However, if you just need some private pages & categories, then you don’t need BuddyPress at all unless there is some interface aspect that requires profiles.
If you aren’t using profiles, then there are probably some WP plugins that do what you want.
Or, the custom WP code to accomplish is quite simple – if you are a WP dev.
@giuseppecuttone for signup page you will have to use
bp_signup_validate
bp_before_registration_submit_buttons
You can try this, seems still working
BuddyPress Simple Terms And Conditions
@bmotion you can give a try to https://wordpress.org/plugins/lock-my-bp/
It will help to lock down specific pages and community section to members only.
Hi @techsector7,
There should be information on https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/translating/inactive-translations/ for what to do, there is also a slack channel #polyglots (info on joining this https://make.wordpress.org/chat/) where you can chat to other people on the team.
Hopefully the above helps.
Thank you for your reply! I’m apprehensive to use plugins that have been abandoned by their developers (Sitewide Newsletters). I’m going to try out this plugin WP INBOX plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-inbox & if it works for us then upgrade to the paid version.
It doesn’t allow us to email our BuddyPress groups, but it will allow us to contact our members & various User Roles which will be helpful.
I’m not an expert, but the only way I’ve found potentially to do this is via separate plugins, e.g.:
BuddyPress Group Email Subscription
Sitewide Newsletters
Hiya, I’m looking for a way to selectively email different BuddyPress groups from within WordPress. We’d ideally like to email our members based on similar profile fields if possible. What’s the best way to set this up?
in staging site went back to WordPress 5.3, no change, save button doesn’t do anything
I have been looking around for plugins or a solution to let me embed a group (ideally through calling a short code on the wordpress page) so that I can create a custom page to put content above the group section to give me more flexibility for my client to update images, videos, etc on group pages.
The only things I have been seeing are short codes to bring in the list of groups, not an individual group.
One other thing, I am using Elementor, so we need the solution to work in there.
Anybody have any suggestions?
the button to save the profile is not saving, In fact nothing happens.
It worked fine, did make some changes in visibility of profile field and updated to WordPress 5.4. In the backend everything works according to plan, in the frontend I can change profile picture and so on, but I can’t save the profile tabs
>> isn’t there any forum or section here or website on the internet or anything anywhere with folks that specialize in THIS only
Hi @bwnvideo You can do that at the official WordPress jobs board at https://jobs.wordpress.net/post-a-job/
Hi @techsector7,
Thanks for your interest in submitting the Serbian (Latin) translation of BuddyPress! You’re most welcome to do so. Looking at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/ the Serbian translation of BP is at 15% for the stable version and 6% for the development version.
Become a Translation Editor and select BuddyPress. Choose your preferred language e.g. German. Then select ‘Stable (latest release)’ or ‘Development (trunk)’. The translation needs to be at least 90% complete to be approved for the Stable/Dev languages.
Hello,
I am being asked to associate (repair)a wordpress page with a buddyPress component which is “Register”. I had one registration page before but since I did not need it anymore I deleted it. How do you stop getting this repair warning. perhaps associating the “register” component with a homepage ?
Thank you!
Register
Hello,
I know one is supposed to associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory. (members)
but I am wondering if it is possible to hide the “members’ slug” in urls structure:
example.com/members/username
to something like this instead:
example.com/username
I am asking this because it might posed a security risk allowing hackers to gain access to all members listed in a website just by going to example.com/members
Thank you!
I have wordpress version 5.4 and buddypress version 5.1.2. I am using bbpress, youzer, and buddypress to wordpress full sync.
I had gathered from research that users can private message to other users from the compose screen if they’re not friends, by simply inputting in their username in the input field. But currently the user is only able to send a private message to a friend, rather than any member. How do I open up this functionality so users can find any member in the directory to send a private message?
Wordpress: 5.4
BuddyPress: 5.1.2
Theme: BeTheme
BuddyPress is messing with my registration page. It looks awkward and I can’t edit it (before the wordpress update or after). I can only see it when I’m logged out and can’t find a place to edit it when I’m logged in. A developer tried to help me and when they deactivated BuddyPress, everything worked fine. Any ideas?
Thanks
Both it would be easier if you created your own threads to receive support.
@closedloopers that really depends on whether any other plugins you use have been kept up to date and what custom code you have. BuddyPress iteself should be upgradeable from older versions by installing each of the major releases until you are up to date, they are available at the bottom of https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/advanced/
Remember and take a backup and test along the way.
@smiranda unfortunately unless you tell us what issues and glitches you are facing nobody on these forums will be able to provide much help. Feel free to create a new thread with more information and hopefully someone will be able to help out.
Hi –
BuddyPress and WordPress newbie. Trying to add some of the elements from the Widgets section (like slideshow, portfolios, quotes) over the the user’s profile section.
I am using a theme called Aardvark and Youzer is installed to help control BuddyPress.
Can someone tell me how please?
Thanks
I’ve just discovered that this is a known bbPress bug, and a patch has been submitted here (see “Attachments”):
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3341
Editing bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php as shown has fixed the issue for me.
