Welcome to the BP forums

Firstly, I would like to know if I already have a wordpress site up and running and with a template that is not buddypress. If I install buddypress on that site, would it fit in with the current template or would I have to change my look?

Answer: You will need to integrate the new BP templates with your current theme. The plugin BP Template Pack guides you through this process and is available fro FWEE! in the plugins directory .

I am still finding my way around plugins/ addons but would normal wordpress plugins still work with buddypress?

Answer: This depends on the plugin and it’s functionality – to my knowledge, trial and error is the bestway

My site would be a Christian portal with community features. Where is best to get buddypress plugins from?

News – This would import news from other sites via rss feed. : Use WordPress
Ecards: Find a plugin or someone to make it for you.
Directory Mod: Maybe you can modify the Portfolio plugin to do this ?
Q&A: Sorry, no idea
Amazon Store: Run a search with our best friend, im sure he’ll hit you up with a good plugin

You’re welcome for as far as it helped
Cheers,

Short answer is yes! You can use bp-profile-search plugin to search for specific profile fields. Not certain it works with the current versions of WordPress and BuddyPress though. It works great in WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5.1

The standard search works well too but you have to know what your searching for. BP-Profile-Search shows a visible form and a user can choose what to search for based on the criteria you set up in the plugin.

Yes, they must login first.

This plugin may not work as it hasn’t been updated

if it doesn’t work reply and i’ll add a setting in BP Extended Settings to turn off activation

Have you tried this plugin?

If you think it’s a problem, please create an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/, using your username and password that you used to log into this site, explaining why you think the behaviour should be changed, and we’ll take a look at it.

As @modemlooper points out, this is trivial to implement with a little PHP development knowledge.

s2member builds on top of the WordPress roles and capabilities system — so, in addition to the s2member wrapper functions, you can also use standard WP functions. Combine them with the BuddyPress API and you have a rich environment for creating code to handle access control to pages.

You can add your access / redirect logic in your theme’s header.php files, or even neater in an action function (in your functions.php file) — try hooking onto init, or bp-screens.

Did you install WordPress in a subdirectory at mdacintranet/wordpress/?

If so, have you read this codex article?

Hi tjtate, this forum thread is over 10 months old. When you see an old thread that hasn’t been answered in awhile, it’s better to just create a new topic.

To quickly answer, when bbPress 2.0 is more tightly integrated with BuddyPress groups, it might be possible to use an existing bbPress 2.0 plugin with BuddyPress when that time comes. Until then, you probably won’t see threaded forum posts.

I’m going to close this thread now, but feel free to post new topics in the future.

I understand , I wanted to create something similar , first add general fields for all groups (address and contact fields for example) , then to setup conditional field ( it should be a role field – you can create additional roles for wordpress ), I have nightclubs , agencies and girls working in nightclubs , so 3 new wp-buddypress roles , then within templates I can show content for specific groups , unfortunately on registration form I can use it yet because people are not logged in with their role yet , so it would be nice to have conditional field as gravity forms uses which will show you only set of fields by the role which you will confirm .

While looking for a solution to the same question, I stumbled upon this: dev update. Boone B. Gorges made a “sample plugin to show how these visibility levels can be extended”: BBG’s Sample Visibility Plugin. All you have to do is create a new folder in your wp-content/plugins, and upload bbg-custom-bp-field-visibility.php & loader.php into your new folder. Then, modify bbg-custom-bp-field-visibility.php to your liking.

You guys might want to look at this plugin for inspiration:

You would need to use a PHP code widget like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/

Use extreme caution when using such a widget. If you’re the only person that is able to access the Widgets page on your site, then you should be fine.

Btw, a shorter way to write that code is:
