BuddyPress.org

bp_displayed_user_avatar only works on a members profile page use bp_core_fetch_avatar

not all functions work out of their components

I too am noticing this behaviour, specifically with apostrophes – I haven’t tested other special characters.

I am using latest versions (WordPress 3.4, Buddypress 1.5.6 and BuddyPress Group Email Subscription 3.1.2)

Hello @valuser

Yes it can be done for tags. The trouble with your snippet is that you’re calling a function that doesn’t exist in WordPress : get_the_post_tag() !! So i adapted your function using this one https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_tags and instead of tag ids i think it’s more convenient to use tag slugs :

function do_not_record_this_tag( $post_id, $post ){

/* this is the array that contains the category to exclude */
$tag_slugs_to_exclude = array( 'exclude' );

if ( 'publish' != $post->post_status )
return false;

$post_tags = get_the_tags( $post_id );
$in = false;

if( !empty( $post_tags ) ) {

foreach ( $post_tags as $post_tag ) {
if( in_array( $post_tag->slug, $tag_slugs_to_exclude ) )
$in = true;

}

/* if the post has at least one excluded tag, then we remove the BuddyPress hook that records an activity */
if( $in )
remove_action( 'save_post', 'bp_blogs_record_post', 10, 2 );

}

}

add_action( 'save_post', 'do_not_record_this_tag', 9, 2 );

if you prefer id then replace the tag slugs by ids in the array $tag_slugs_to_exclude and replace $post_tag->slug by $post_tag->term_id

Hello @tgoedde

If you’re using the theme BP Default, it’s quite easy actually. As this theme supports custom-header, you can simply edit the BuddyPress pages (Activity, register, groups, forum… and so on) in which you want to add a custom header.

I just tested this in my activity page.
1/ Edit the page in WordPress backend
2/ Use the media button to select your photo, it must have at least a width of 1250px (if under, the pic won’t show)
3/ Upload and choose not to insert but to use as featured image. Once done you can close the thick box window.
4/ you’ll see in the edit page / the featured image box at the bottom right with your uploaded image shrinked.
5/ Save the page. And you’re done

Repeat these steps for each BuddyPress template you want to add a custom header to.

http://wpmu.org/how-to-set-the-default-theme-for-a-wordpress-multisite-network/

It’s a WordPress Multisite question, not a BuddyPress one – this function would be a starting point: it returns all the blogs a user has access to:

get_blogs_of_user( )

WordPress plugins which are supposed to be BuddyPress-ready are tagged “buddypress” by respective plugin developers – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/buddypress
Double-check if plugin’s been updated for latest versions of BP at least

To make your WP theme compatible with BP, you need to install BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP compatibility process then align HTML structure.

Yes, we are aware of the bug for the plugin’s pagination in this site.

@mercime thanks for the response…

I do have membership enabled in settings > general as I already said I did.

It’s a new buddypress installation so no, was never able to upload & crop an avatar before as this is the first time I tried.

Yes, I can upload, crop etc images everywhere else.

New installation of both wordpress and buddypress – installed both yesterday.

From time to time, we hear reports of this. No-one has figured out if it’s a theme issue, or a plugin issue, or a BuddyPress issue, or some sort of WordPress config issue. I’ve never been able to recreate it, nor have the other core developers, which suggests it’s something outside of BuddyPress or the BP-Default theme.

== i want to integrate buddypress with templatic theme ==

You need to install BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

== But is it possible to add buddypress network as a wordpress page??i ==

BuddyPress is not a single Page proposition, The plugin contains components (like you see on home page https://buddypress.org/) rendered as Pages in a site. Check out http://testbp.org/

@tiagobeloto If you find a bug, create a ticket on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org.

For other feedback, or if you’re not sure you found a bug, make a topic here, and write “1.6” in the title so we can more easily see it. Or write it on http://bpdevel.wordpress.com

Thanks for help testing

hey thats not a nice response.

I wont do it for you but the steps required are:

Learn how to create page templates in WordPress.
Create a custom page template that includes the BuddyPress login code. You can get this from sidebar.php.
Choose your page template as the front page in the WordPress admin.

These all require knowledge of CSS and HTML at minimum. You basically remove the wordpress loop and sidebar code from the page template and then fill it in with the login form code. Style it with CSS to make it look how you want.
