Thanks for the update!

Hi @VentureCore-

It seems like you can make avatars work remotely. Check bp_core_fetch_avatar() for some filter opportunities. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php#L98

I’ve not done what you’re trying to do, but it seems that the filter points bp_core_avatar_folder_url, bp_core_avatar_folder_dir…[Read more]

I’d use BuddyPress Docs for this purpose, but I’m a fan of and contributor to that plugin. It’s great for creating organized shared libraries with tags and search ability.

If you’d rather it be more forum-like, use bbPress.

What about using a custom member front page? Then you’d have total flexibility:
Custom Front Pages for your users profiles

Otherwise, I think you could conditionally filter bp_displayed_user_get_front_template to specify members/single/activity.php for self and friends and members/single/profile.php for…[Read more]

Right back at ya!

It looks likely that the OAuth plugin is the culprit. I have not tested, but it looks like there’s a line in oauth2-provider/library/class-wo-api.php that redirects auth requests to wp_login_url() and tries to guess the proper redirect_to parameter,…[Read more]

Sure, I’m happy to point you in the right direction.

The BuddyPress Custom XProfile Field Type plugin is probably a good one to start with. It uses the BP_XProfile_Field_Type class to register its fields. It even has an existing Datepicker field that you can use as a starting place:…[Read more]

Regarding your first question, it appears that your theme is adding marks to your navigation menu. You’ll need to inspect the element to see what rule is causing it, then override it. (Or choose a different theme.)

Regarding your second question, if your theme has a full-width page template, select it for your BuddyPress pages. If it doesn’t…[Read more]

HI @khappamj–

It sounds like you’re overriding the file the right way and at the right location. There must be some other reason the file isn’t being used. I’d try checking the file permissions to make sure that apache can read the file.

Hi @snecz–

Yes, you can filter the starred slug using the bp_get_messages_starred_slug filter. Unfortunately, the ‘sentbox’ slug is not currently customizable.

Here’s an example of how you might filter the starred slug:

add_filter( 'bp_get_messages_starred_slug', 'bp_codex_filter_starred_slug' );
function bp_codex_filter_starred_slug( $slug )…[Read more]

> the form still doesn’t work with or without the avatar upload.

Could you say more about this? By “the form” you mean the *registration* form?

As David suggests above, BP doesn’t allow for avatar upload at the time of registration, at least not out of the box. This suggests to me that you have another plugin (or something in your theme) that i…[Read more]

Ha. Yes, this is an old and annoying issue in WordPress and WP plugins.

That said, we have done extensive work in the past to ensure that quotes are stripped where necessary throughout various interfaces. If you can share more detail about exactly where you’re seeing the slashed content, we may be able to help figure out where things are going…[Read more]

As @shanebp notes, adding the tabs themselves is pretty straightforward. In addition to bp_core_new_nav_item() etc, you might also look into the more all-encompassing BP_Component class. See https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/bp_component/, https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/.

It’s the content…[Read more]

Hi @kevinc4m – The BuddyPress Followers plugin allows users on a multisite installation to follow specific sites: https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers

It sounds like this is not quite what you’re looking for – you want the ability to follow tags/categories, and it doesn’t sound like multisite is part of the equation – but this plugin may…[Read more]

Can you share the format of the “view content” links in the digest emails? (I’m assuming you’re using buddypress-group-email-subscription – let me know if that’s correct.) They should have a redirect_to parameter, but it sounds like it’s not being respected or is being lost somehow.

Are you using any plugins that interfere with the way that WP…[Read more]

Hi @amitrwt – The ‘Start’ and ‘End’ fields in the BP admin settings define the start and end dates of a single datepicker. That is, if you want to have a datepicker, but you only want to show dates between the years 1970 and 1990, you’d use those dates as the Start and End.

If you want your users to be able to select start and end times, my best…[Read more]

Hi @mycraze – It sounds as something is failing to load the jquery-cookie script. BP attempts to do it in the function bp_core_register_common_scripts(): https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-core/bp-core-cssjs.php?marks=54#L18

The first thing to check is to see whether the page is attempting to load the script in the…[Read more]

Hello @louisarthur – When you say that they’re “not clickable”, what do you mean? Are they disabled – greyed out, and impossible to select? Or does it simply not do anything when you click them?

You may have some JavaScript – perhaps in your theme – that is preventing the link clicks from working properly. Try disabling JS in your browser to see…[Read more]

To turn the image into a link, you’ll want something like this:

<div class="bp-login-widget-user-avatar">
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( bp_loggedin_user_domain() ); ?>">
<?php bp_loggedin_user_avatar( "type=full&width=200&height=200" ); ?>
</a>
</div>

If adding this link causes other content to get pushed down on the page, it’s likely…[Read more]
