I’ve got a BP specific front end editor – https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-site-post this adds a profile tab for the members posts list. I believe Brajesh’s https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/ does the same.
There this old plugin I found – https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-component-stats/ maybe you could try that?
The basic option is to set up a redirect for anyone but admin, that would involve adding some code to your functions.php. There’s probably plugins that d it, but it’s quite simple with code if you are happy with that.
That would not stop links from appearing in the WordPress admin-bar / toolbar. Would you still want to give them access to the BuddyPress menu options via the toolbar?
I’ve recently launched a BP specific Front End editor and I’ve included all the various hide admin code in that. You can choose to hide the admin-bar altogether or prune out the menu items you don’t want to display, such as the +New menu item.
I do not want members to have access to the wordpress dashboard – is this an option to switch off?
I found this post, not covering BP but useful for when you give editors the ability to manage users. could be of use.
Let Editor Manage Users in WordPress
Hi there, I got it working for ‘edit_users’ capability but I’ve had to make three changes to class-bp-members-admin.php to do it:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8069
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8070
For ‘bp_moderate’ it seems there are other issues this time seemingly coming from WordPress:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8071
I’ve raised another ticket, don’t think this will be the last as it’s still not working.

Hi.
One more issue here (hopefully the last one)
When I post a message to activity stream, everything is OK.
But when I try to delete my own post (admin acc), I recieve 404 page and post or comment is not deleted.
You can try here https://wikidiy.org
I dont have any error in console…
Tried to find something similar on this forum but…
BuddyPress 4.2.0
Wordpress 5.1.1
Hi.
I have trouble with uploading of group avatar on my site WikiDIY.org
When I try to upload, the green bar shows the progress of the loading, but nothing happens after that.
In chrome console I have error:

BuddyPress 4.2.0
Wordpress 5.1.1
Any hint how to solve it?
In the buddypress.org/about/groups page it says “Each group has a homepage. The group’s Activity Stream is the default Home tab for any group.” That’s not what I’m seeing. When I go to a group I’m in a “home” tab that includes an information box saying “Manage the Groups default front page” and a description of the group. Activity is a separate tab. I’d certainly like to have the home page for a group show the most recent posts there. How would I do that?
WordPress 5.1.1 running Twenty Sixteen theme.
Buddypress Version 4.2.0.
Don’t think so, it’s not in the WordPress repository so it does not automatically send out an update. Once we’ve got it kicked into shape I’m going to suggest we launch it in WordPress, then you will see the updates.
This sounds like a great feature to add to my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-messaging-control/ might take be a couple of weeks though. Why not raise a thread in my support forum and we can discuss how it would work?
Hi @irahulsolanki I just tested this again with the BP Legacy theme and I got the same results as you. could you raise a support ticket for this?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
All I can suggest is that you raise a new feature request on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
“How about switching to the BP Legacy theme to see if that works?”
That is the first action i did : i deactivated all plugins exept bbpress and buddypress and i installed TwentySixteen official wordpress theme.
i think Yoast seo it’s the best seo plugin for wordpress you can use that
Have you looked at https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/ that’s what I use to only display some menus to logged in members
Regarding changing the messages BuddyPress shows, you can create your own local translation file using the PoEdit application, see this doc:
Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs
If you really want to disable the activation emails, there’s an old plugin which I think still works:
BP Disable Activation Reloaded
If you have issues with it let me know.
Thank you! That gets me half way 🙂
I still get the notification after registration about the activation link – and I do not think that the little old ladies using my site will get that they have to activate and then wait for approval (to much for them to take in).
So I now are able to stop users with the extra My Private Site-plugin and the messages sent out from BP egistration works as a charm. There is only one (Account Approved Email) that actually is sent though – I can not figure out how to get the other ones to override the BuddyPress – activation-email. And if I de-activate that e-mail no e-mail is sent at all.
Also when I click on the register-button in the registration form I get redirected to a page that says that my account needs to be activated and I have to check my e-mail to do so. I want to loose it or change the text.
If they try to log in anyway they get the wordpress opt of re-sending the activation-link. Same thing here – preferably change the text.
But where do I find the texts? I guess the re-direct page is automated from BP, the other one is from WP.
Any tips?
You can enable search for names by putting this code in your child themes functions.php:
add_filter( 'bp_activity_get_include_user_search', 'venutius_add_name_to_search' );
function venutius_add_name_to_search( $setting ) {
return true;
}
Unfortunately there’s not a similar filter for the title, you could raise a feature request for this on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
In the site below, they copy the code to style.css file …
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-this-field-can-be-seen-by/
You could download a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/safecss/ and add these lines of css to your style sheet, or If you have a created a child theme, you can just add these lines to your style.css file
.field-visibility-settings-toggle {
display:none;
}
.field-visibility-settings-notoggle {
display:none;
}
I don’t have the style.css file in my Theme but these 2 files instead :
editor-style.css
theme-customizer-controls-styles
Please do you know which CSS files need to be added or modified ?
There’s an old plugin called BuddyPress Links which allows members to add links to a links directory and then other members can vote on those links. I think this would probably serve a similar function to what you want. However, it’s out of date and throws a lot of errors. I’ve been working on updating this and have asked the developer the code can be updated. I think for your requirement it would still need some changes so it recognises videos and embeds the video instead of a static thumbnail for the site. I think this is the closest BP has got to delivering what you want easily.
Alternatively there’s MediaPress which allows video links to be added to video galleries. You can also have a sitewide gallery that everyone can add videos to, this could serve as a basis for what you are looking for.
