BuddyPress.org

I too have this issue. But I see some members in my users list but they do not show up on the members plugin list. So no one can see that they even exist in the group. Is there a way to force activate or log in for them?

RE Enable Multiblog – Where did you get “bp-config.php”? You should add enable_multiblog in wp-config.php just before /* That’s all, … Happy blogging. */ as posted at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/using-multisite-with-buddypress/bp_enable_multiblog/ And, you should activate BuddyPress sitewide, i.e., via Network Admin > Plugins, not in individual site.

Do not touch the database. If you want a subsite as your primary BuddyPress site, then see section on configure the BP_ROOT_BLOG https://codex.buddypress.org/user/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

Hi,

I did this, after some digging into the $bp object after the registration form is posted. Not tested properly in the wild yet, so you might want to double check before using this. Done via WordPress 3.5.1 and BuddyPress 1.7.2.

add_filter('bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message', 'custom_bp_change_activation_email_message');
function custom_bp_change_activation_email_message($message) {
	//	Get some globals
	global $bp, $wpdb;

	//	Get the slug of the activation page
	$slug = $bp->pages->{"activate"}->slug;

	//	Get username from the signup form just posted
	$username = $bp->signup->username;

	//	SQL query to get activation key for that username
	$sql = 'select meta_value from wp_usermeta where meta_key="activation_key" and user_id in (select ID from wp_users where user_login="' . $username . '" and user_status=2)';

	//	Getting the activation key from the database
	$activation_key = $wpdb->get_var($sql);

	//	Make activation URL
	$url = sprintf("%s/%s/?key=%s", WP_HOME, $slug, $activation_key);

	//	Custom message with activation key
	$message = "Yayy! Thanks for signing up! Please confirm your account!\n\n$url";

	return $message;
}

I’ve got this in a theme’s functions.php file, but not sure if that’s the right place for it. Would it be better in bp_custom.php?

Ta,
Alan.

any one here to help me
installed and activated plugin and in widget area it is asking to put Birthday field Name (or ID)

here i user date selector to create it and after that in registration page user have to put their date of birth .but from where i can get Birthday field Name (or ID) please help .Thankyou

If you want to display the active member count which will exclude people who have completed the registration form but not yet activated their account, then use this

<?php echo bp_core_get_active_member_count(); ?>

If you want everyone including people who have not yet activated then use this

<?php 
   global $wpdb;
   $sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "users";
   $totalusers = $wpdb->get_var($sql);
   echo $totalusers;
?>

Do you know how to go to dashboard/pages/all pages/register? At the top of that page the title says Register just change that to Sign Up. At the top right corner of that same page click screen options and click the box beside of Slug. Now scroll down below the page body and you will see a text field labelled Slug. Change that from register to sign-up and click the blue Update button. Done!

Spam Killer is not in the WP Repo you need to download it from the github link I provided then go to dashboard/plugins/add new, and where it says Install Plugins you will see upload below that. Select upload and browse to where you saved the Spam Killer plugin on your hard drive. Click Install Now then activate it. There is no settings just activate it and forget it. If you search the HTML source after you activate the plugin you will see the hidden field the plugin created just like below:
<div style="display: none;"><input type="text" name="are_you_a_spammer" id="rejected" /></div>

Private Community For BP basically makes all BP related pages private and redirects the user to the page you want. Read the instructions in the readme.txt You will have to follow the same procedure listed for Spam Killer for getting, installing, and activating the plugin.

I have tried to make these instructions as clear as possible. Make sure to read the readme.txt in the plugins because the instructions are for fairly novice users. Let me know if you need more assistance.

You can try this in bp-custom.php or your themes functions.php:

function bphelp_redirect_to_profile_on_login() {
global $bp;
if(!is_user_logged_in()) { 
wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/profile' );
}
}
add_filter('get_header','bphelp_redirect_to_profile_on_login',1);

Let me know if it works for you!
If you dont want to try this then use the plugin:
https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp
And change line 27 accordingly in private-community-for-bp.php to the page you want folks redirected too upon login before you activate the plugin.

@thecrow72 basically, BuddyPress uses the WP email functions for its registration process. Deactivate BuddyPress, bbPress and other plugins then check your WP registration/activation emails, etc. If it’s not working, then please resolve your issue at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

Before activating BuddyPress, read https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/

Good luck!

I’m having the exact same issue. Have completely up to date buddypress and wp installations, deactivated all plugins, then tried buddypress pending activations plugin by itself and then unconfirmed plugin by itself. No luck, still have users with blank forum roles and completely unactivated accounts.

I don’t have to prove anything to you I am trying to assist you. I am not the one complaining because your not using the advice given. I have had many BuddyPress sites ranging from BP 1.2 through 1.7.2 and it works great. The problem is when you have a fresh install of WP and BP then every time you install and activate a new plugin then test it against your registration. I am sorry if this sounds tedious and insensitive but I do not feel sorry for users who use out of date plugins and install 30 to 40 plugins without testing against registration only to find in the thick of it all one of those plugins conflicted with the registration and then they have to back peddle to find what they would have found if they had tested each plugin as they activated it against the registration. That is not very responsible, so do your part because the Development team can only do but so much.

@smartmwp
By default new users are set to subscriber’s so why did you have to set it?
Is the profile fields you want for registration placed in the base profile which shows up automatically on registration? If you added those fields to a new field group which is secondary then it only shows after the user has activated and logged in to their account and go’s to edit their profile in this secondary field you may have created.

Please give more details before asking for help !

BP use the standart WP process to upload pictures. The default user avatar is set in the WP settings > discussion where you can choose between different avatar services. The default avatar shipped by BP is Mystery Man.

When a custom user avatar is uploaded by a member, the picture goes to wp-content/uploads/avatars/ into a folder named by the user ID. The original image is handled by the process to result in 2 different size, and BP rename each file to something unique with a MD5 name, and a human comprehensive name, such as c3f55cb7f3beaa22f7463132f5e0878d-bpfull.jpg and c3f55cb7f3beaa22f7463132f5e0878d-bpthumb.jpg

Internally BP use 3 default sizes for the user avatar: 50×50(small), 150×150(full) and 450×450 (max original file size).
These sizes can be changed. Read here how: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/avatar-sizes-in-1-7/

Each user can modify his profile and change his avatar so many times he want. The avatar upload process contains also an avatar cropper. The default cropping size is related to the avatar define “full”. By default it’s 150×150 and the original image is fixed to 450, even if it’s bigger on the user side.

Depending the placeholder of a profile avatar, those size are adapted to fit the template part fixed in the theme you use. On activity stream under bp-default theme, the avatar is 20×20, on members directory it’s 150×150, etc

The signup process is conditionned by registering. As long as a new user has not activated his account, he cannot upload or modify something, or even loggin to the site. That’s why there is no option for pics at this stage.

And yes, you can embed a profile pic into a sidebar or any other place. But this is only possible if you’re familiarized with BP and if you have some basic PHP knowledge.

hi @rypo73,

wow ! That’s not a web site you have, but a plugin plant !
39 + BP = 46 plugins, aïe aïe aïe caramba 😀
I suspect you have a setting somewhere who exclude admins from some process. But because suspition is not knowledge, you have to over test anything.

Revert back to a standart install first: WP + BP 1.7.1 with bp-default theme. And try to follow those advices:

1 – never touch the original table structure untill you know what you do
2 – deactivate all your plugins except BP and make your registering tests for each kind of user role
3 – activate bp-default while testing
4 – reactivate the plugins one by one and test the register process
4a – after an hour, you will probably understand why 46 plugins are a pain 😉
5 – make a break in the stress: drink a coffee or a beer before continuing your test
6 – if you absolutly need the Group o’matic plugin,update it. It’s now version 1.0.4
7 – ensure all plugins are updated before reactivate them.

Hold on, Rome was not built in 5 mn. 😉

Help me!

Solved error?????

@attention,

check your avatar settings on WP first. By default it should be Mystery Man ( i would recommend to let this setting as is). If you activate Gravatar, your site will bind with Gravatar first. User that have no Gravatar account will then have a Mystery Man avatar instead.

This is pureWP admin stuff.

BP handles avatars on a member basis in a slightly different manner. Each user can change/upload his avatar from within his profile.

You’re using Salutation, a third party theme which is IMO complicated to use with BP, because it is a bit away from the WP theme standards.

You also use an old avatar plugin, which wasn’t updated since sept. 2011. So if you use WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.6.5 or 1.7, i doubt that this plugin will work correctly. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-local-avatars/

Let me suggest you this one: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-avatar-suggestions/

It’s not Mystery Man, it’s not Gravatar, but it handles your own avatar pictures or let your user free to choose there personnal one. And the plugin is working with Salutation and with BP 1.7 too.

@tibmix not sure why, there are too many variables involved. WP/BP versions? If BP 1.6.5 or BP 1.7, are you using bbPress plugin for your forums – sitewide or group forums? If you deactivate BuddyPress, are your issues with bbPress forums resolved?

It is confusing.

Something, probably a plugin, is most likely do a $current_user check
for example: is_user_logged_in()
in a file loaded via a loader.php with something like:
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'some_function_that_loads_a_file' );

The codex recommends using bp_loaded, but in 1.7 the notice was added.
I’ve been using this instead:
add_action( 'bp_init', 'some_function_that_loads_a_file', 9 );

The notice only appears if you have, in wp-config.php, debug set to true.
define('WP_DEBUG', true);

Other than the notice, are you seeing anything that isn’t working probably?
You could ignore it, at your peril, and set debug to false.
Or you could deactivate your plugins one by one to see which one(s) is generating the notice.

It would be helpful to get a definitive explanation from one of the core devs.
