BuddyPress.org

Let’s try that again:

// adding a subnav menu tab on a profile page for author's posts
// add this snippet into theme's functions.php

function authorposts_onprofile() {
global $bp;
	?>
	<li id="activity-reshares"><a href="<?php echo home_url(). '/author/' . bp_get_displayed_user_username(). '/'; ?>" title="<?php bp_displayed_user_fullname(); ?>'s Posts">Posts</a></li>
	<?php
}

add_action('bp_member_options_nav', 'authorposts_onprofile'); 

This topic says resolved but I am not able to get posts to show on the profile. After reading the above thread multiple times here is what I did:
1. Downloaded an updated version of BP Posts on Profile revised by @azchipka called “TCH-BuddyPress-Posts-On-Profile”, installed, and activated it.
2. Added the code offered by @anywherebuthollywood to the functions.php file in my child theme.

The “My Profile” tab does appear but if I click on it I get the same empty blog page with “Members” in the header and whichever logged in user showing up as a link to the logged in author’s page.

Did I miss a step or is this not resolved after all?

Hi @henry and @hughshields

I am also trying to get this to work on my site…

I have the plugin from @azchipka

and I have the tab “My posts”

Where would i add the above code ???

Sorry I am a bit of a BP Newbie Still!!!

Cheers

James

Thanks @henrywright-1
I looked in members/single/profile.php. Where would I drop in your code?

<?php if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) : ?>
	<div class="item-list-tabs no-ajax" id="subnav">
		<ul>
			<?php bp_get_options_nav() ?>
		</ul>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php do_action( 'bp_before_profile_content' ) ?>

<div class="profile">
	<?php if ( 'edit' == bp_current_action() ) : ?>
		<?php locate_template( array( 'members/single/profile/edit.php' ), true ) ?>

	<?php elseif ( 'change-avatar' == bp_current_action() ) : ?>
		<?php locate_template( array( 'members/single/profile/change-avatar.php' ), true ) ?>

	<?php else : ?>
		<?php locate_template( array( 'members/single/profile/profile-loop.php' ), true ) ?>

	<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- .profile -->

<?php do_action( 'bp_after_profile_content' ) ?>

@hughshields If you’re just getting started with PHP and prefer a plugin, try BuddyBlog – http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/ and Simple Front End Post http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/

You can let your members blog directly from their BuddyPress profile. A list of posts on profile comes as standard too.

@henrywright-1. you were right. BuddyBlog does show posts on profile and very nicely, although on the download page it doesn’t mention this fact. So BuddyBlog is a good solution for me. Thanks!
It is easier for me to take a plugin that works and turn off features (like blogging from profile) than to try to fix one that is broken.

Here is the link again for other interested folks:
BuddyBlog – http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/

Much obliged!

@fitnessblogger when @azchipka says adjust the path in the plugin to achieve /author/username I assume that means just getting rid of /posts/? I’m not familiar with the plugin. @azchipka should be able to help with specifics.

If you just want to show posts on a BP profile then my code should work:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-show-posts-written-by-user-on-profile/page/2/#post-172143

Alternatively the plugins I mentioned earlier by buddydev.com are brilliant.

BuddyBlog is a great plugin. Thanks @henrywright-1 for pointing me to it.
The only problem is that it does too much. It displays posts on profile which is great. But it also adds a sub-nav on my own profile to add a New Post, which I don’t want.
I have dug through all the files in the plugin looking for the sub-navigation to try and hide the New Post button, but no luck.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Much obliged.

Great! Thanks @henrywright-1! I didn’t even think of CSS. Works perfectly.

So @fitnessblogger, with BuddyBlog and the one line of CSS provided by Henry above you basically have a Posts in Profile solution that works perfectly. Users can view each other’s posts in a tab on their profile and will not be able to blog from their own profile because that sub-navigation feature is hidden.

That resolves it for me. Thanks again!

@Henry, your code above was helpful. Couldn’t figure out how to loop user-specific posts on profiles. It’s all done now except, do you have any ideas on making pagination work? Googling around query_post() apparently has issues with navigation but usually the issue is displaying the same content on every page.

In my case it just redirects to a 404 if I try using the pagination. Any ideas?

This seemed to get the closest in addressing it but doesn’t fix this specific problem: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-navigation-038-query_posts

Hi Justin

The way I would tackle post pagination on BP profile pages would be to use paginate_links

See:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links

Henry thanks a lot, I was looking for this!
