BuddyPress.org

Hi there,

Are you talking about a category assigned to a WordPress post? Or are you looking to assign categories to activity posts and filter on that?

Hi there,

Have you tried https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-featured-members/ ? Seems a lot easier than trying to write your own plugin.

I’ve not seen a support thread involving bp-default in years, I generally recommend testing with a WordPress default theme such as 2019 or 2017. I’ve not seen anything to say you shouldn’t use it but I think if you do then you will be in an elite club.

I can’t replicate your issue so it must be down to your environment or something else. You didn’t mention which WordPress Theme you are using, maybe it’s that?

Hi there,

I can confirm this is an issue, could you raise a bug report on Trac?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Thanks

Thanks, yes that helps me decide on my advice. Have you tried looking at my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-shortcodes-extra/ it’s got shortcodes that will do all you are looking for.

Yep BuddyPress uses the WordPress user database, so creating a BuddyPress user automatically creates a WordPress user.

Are the users receiving the activation link and are they trying to login after activating their accounts?

Hi there,

To centre the title you can use the following css slector:

#sitewide-notice strong {
    text-align: center;
}

However currently it’s not possible to separate the two paragraphs. This is due to the text going through the wp_filter_kses() function which is removing the <p> tags from the text thus turning two paragraghs into a single paragraph.

You could ask for an enhancement in Trac, to change this to an alternative function bp_messages_filter_kses() this would allow you to add a filter to allow <p> in the sitewide notice content. If you raise the ticket I’ll add this information as a suggestion to the devs.

One way is to use the wordpress toolbar dropdown as I described earlier, there’s a profile option and in there you can select change profile image

Hi there, some answers:

1. You can change the layout of profiles by overloading the profile files and css, see: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/theme-compatibility-2/ it’s possibly a bit advanced for you right now but all the files in the plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/your-bp-theme/buddypress can be copied, modified and loaded from your child theme directory. Similarly you can overload the css to make styling and layout changes.

1b. The default is for horizontal navigation unless you’ve changed it in Customizer>>BuddyPress.

2. The BuddyPress extended profile is editable from the front end, and avatar too. It’s only the wordpress profile that’s enditable in admin and most BP sites don’t use that as t’s really set up for authors.

3. I recently posted the code to combine all the profile activity feeds into 1, https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-combine-activity-tabs-to-one/

4. https://wordpress.org/plugins/cb-change-mail-sender/

5+6 are bbPress questions, for the best answer you should post on their forum https://bbpress.org/forums/

7. Assuming you have set up the groups directory page and enabled group creation by users in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options, users will have the option to create groups on the Groups directory page and also from the Groups menu of the WordPress toolbar ( top right hand side of the screen, hover over your avatar image, drop down will appear one option will be groups.

Hi there, BuddyPress uses the WordPress login page, so it sounds like it’s working correctly. Unless I’m missing something?

We only do BuddyPress support here, for other plugins you should raise a request on their wordpress forum.

What you could do is install two factor authentication for your admin users:

Two Factor Authentication

That might help. This is more of a general WordPress query so you might get better responses if you post to the WordPress forums.
