BuddyPress.org

I think based on your requirement that for your ultimate requirement you will need some custom coding. This is due to you wanting to add weighting to the likes.

One option would be to enable new blog posts to appear in the BuddyPress activity stream. That would automatically allow BuddyPress users to favorite the activity and for it to appear in their list of favorites in their profile. However you won’t easily be able to add your weighting since the BP favorites system dones not have this functionality. But that’s the same for any existing plugin. The potential downside is that the BP Activity stream is not just posts (which would have to be enabled with a bit of code).

There are also a number of WordPress post specific likes plugins, however these don’t give you a profile page with a list of your likes and the same issue remains that they would not support you weighting.

If it was me, I’d probably look to use a plugin such as BuddyPress Like as a basis for my solution. I’ve not looked in detail at this plugin but I’m assuming it adds the ability to like posts and display a list of likes in the users profile. That would serve as a good basis for what I was looking to do. It would then need some modification in order to support your specific weighting mechanism. The complexity of that task would depend on exactly how you want your weighting mechanism to work and the technique you use to account for it when displaying the likes list.

Hi there, I can confirm I’m also seeing this behaviour, could you raise this as a bug on Trac?

Hi there, translations do work, I’ve just created a custom MO file and added it to the site using the WPT Custom MO file plugin, What’s New translated to my custom script just fine.

So you want a custom link that only appears when the user is not logged in, correct ?

That is not specific to BP.

Have you tried searching for WordPress solutions?
It’s a much bigger codebase.

I think a good enhancement would be for this hook to pass some data: bp_core_general_settings_after_save
Currently, there is no way to tell if there were errors.
The same issue is found in the other files in bp-settings/actions/

I can confirm this bug. And it is not specific to a Template Pack.
Some formatting is lost : afaik, the 3 alignment options and the numbered and bullet lists.

I believe this is due to the allowed tags array used by BP.
Those tags are not allowed and therefore are stripped when edits are saved.

The allowed tags need to be altered to allow those tags.
Or filtered to allow those tags when profile edits are saved and a Multi-Line Text Area field is present.

Unless your issue is reproducible by BP devs, it is nigh impossible to suggest a fix.

To narrow down the possible sources of the issue…

Have you tried momentarily switching to a WP theme like 2017 ?

Have you tried deactivating all other plugins and, if the issue goes away, then activating them one at a time? It’s a real pain, but often the only way to identify the source of a conflict.

Have you tried switching the BP template pack under Settings > BP > Options ?

Have you tried turning on WP_DEBUG and then checking your error log ?

Hello, I’m having the same issue with the registration on my wordpress site: users can’t register and when they submit their information, the fields are reset.

Buddypress version: 4.2.0 and WordPress 5.1.

Thank you in advance!

Sorry, try this link https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/

Then you need to do the basic debug to try an isolate the issue.

• Turn on WP_DEBUG and try to reg and then check the error log
• Switch to a WP theme like 2017 – if you can then reg, the issue is related to your theme
• Then try deactivating other plugins – if you can then reg, reactivate plugins one at a time until a reg fails

What type of content is it?

There’s a plugin called Stream that monitors all WordPress activity, that might catch it but I don’t think it supports other plugins.

Behaviour confirmed.
I believe this is a bug.

Delete your use of the add_action.

Research how to use a filter in WordPress.

Try :

function cami_field_value( $value, $type, $field_id ) {

     if ( $field_id == 123 ) {  // change 123 to the id of the field you want to change
         // adjust $value 
     }

     return $value;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'cami_field_value', 1, 3 );

There’s two you could try, BuddyPress Docs which is a bit old but still works. Or my own plugin BP Post Status which is the new kid on the block.

BuddyPress Docs sets up it’s own post type and adds collaborative editing to it. This means that the editing experience is somewhat limited.

BP Post status uses standard posts and add group based statuses to it so that posts can be assigned as Group posts, members only friends only etc and since it uses posts (or any other post type) you can exxjoy the full classic editor or my own front end publisher – BP Site Post Note that Gutenberg does not support custom post statuses so it can only really be used in classic editor mode.

There’s a couple of other options, such as BuddyDev’s Blog Categories for Groups or if you are looking for a document library there BP Documents.
