BuddyPress.org

Hello @vapvarun,

Thank you very much for your help.

I contacted my theme developer, and they mentioned that they changed the theme to version 5 but forgot to update the BuddyPress profile page template.

Everything is fixed now, so thank you for your help 🙂

Hi @franciscofgb, if you’re having a caching issue, you’ll have to solve it from the caching end. If that’s not the issue, try deactivating your other plugins one at a time to see if the issue resolves itself. In a vanilla BP install, I’ve never run into the problem you’re describing.

Here’s some untested code that should prevent anyone from visiting the profile of a subscriber user. Roles are not a BP construct, so you’ve got to look to WordPress for that info.


add_action( 'wp', function() {
if ( bp_is_profile() ) {
$user_meta = get_userdata( bp_displayed_user_id() );

if ( in_array( 'subscriber', $user_meta->roles; ) )…[Read more]

Boone wrote something that might be helpful: https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-social-media-profiles/

It automatically converts some social site links in extended profile fields into the right kind of link.

That depends on where you’re using it. You could use a bp_signup_validate filter to check that a username has certain characteristics. But for profile fields or other places, you’d have to enforce it some other way.

Here’s an example of how you might disalloe long usernames:

add_action('bp_signup_validate', function() {
if ( isset( $_POST[…[Read more]

Forums created in association with private or hidden groups are created as private forums. (They’ll only show up in the big forums list if you can see them.) Forums associated with public groups are not private–anyone can visit your-group/forum. They will show up in the big list. Visit /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum to verify that private…[Read more]

Here’s another report of this with a suggested fix: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7704

You might looks at adding an email using the BuddyPress email system: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/custom-emails/

Maybe you could use friend relationships for this. If the “friend” terminology doesn’t make sense for your use, there is a plugin that creates one-way relationships called “follows” https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-followers/

Hi James, I guess it depends on what a moderator is. (I can only think of Group Mods in BP, not sure what would count as a site-wide moderator.)

The ability to see private messages is controlled by the check bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) which is true for site or network admins.

You could probably filter that value for some other role,…[Read more]

The forum functionality is provided by bbPress. I’m not aware of any plugins that add the feature you’re requesting, but the bbPress forums are probably a better place to ask:
https://bbpress.org/forums/

If you are asking about bbPress, try the bbPress forum.

If you’re asking about removing the BuddyPress email verification step for new accounts, there are several plugins that do that:

BP Disable Activation Reloaded

BuddyPress Auto Activate Auto Login

It looks like your buddypress/members/register.php file is based on an old version of the template (that had the field description hardcoded in the template). You’ll need to remove this line:
<p class="description"><?php bp_the_profile_field_description(); ?></p>

in that file.

There is an issue with hotmail/outlook rejecting activation emails (See the fix here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11862).

Otherwise, the best way to customize your emails is explained here: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/

There’s a known issue with hotmail/outlook addresses that will be addressed in the next minor update. You can see the fix here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11862

That may be your issue. If not, please provide more information.
