Hi Buddypress heroes,

I’m trying to set up the buddyblog front end plugin.

I installed the plugin then I tried to follow the following explanations : https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/ ,

As far I got the explanation I went to bp-simple-front-end-post.php to add the

function my_post_form() {
$settings = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
//which post type
‘post_author’ => bp_loggedin_user_id(),
//who will be the author of the submitted post
‘post_status’ => ‘draft’,
//how the post should be saved, change it to ‘publish’ if you want to make the post published automatically
‘current_user_can_post’ => is_user_logged_in(),
//who can post
‘show_categories’ => true,
//whether to show categories list or not, make sure to keep it true
‘allowed_categories’ => array( 1, 2, 3, 4 )
//array of allowed categories which should be shown, use get_all_category_ids() if you want to allow all categories
);

$form = bp_new_simple_blog_post_form( ‘my form’, $settings );
//create a Form Instance and register it
}

before the

add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘my_post_form’, 4 );//register a form

then I get I need to put somewhere (template?) :

$form = bp_get_simple_blog_post_form( ‘my form’ );
if ( $form ) {//if this is a valid form
$form->show();//it will show the form
}

I though I needed to put it in the file edit.php in the Buddyblog’s template folder but I fund the following code already written :

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_get_simple_blog_post_form’ ) ): ?>
<?php
$form = bp_get_simple_blog_post_form( ‘buddyblog-user-posts’ );

$form->show();

?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php _e( ‘Please Install BP Simple Front End Post Plugin to make the editing functionality work.’, ‘buddyblog’ );?>
<?php endif; ?>

which seems to me very similar to what I should put

Obviously it’s not working and no form appears when I’m clicking on the “new post” button on the “member” page .

Can someone help me with this ? What do I do wrong ?

With the little knowledge I have I thing there is an issue calling the bp_get_simple_blog_post_form function in the edit.php from the bp-simple-front-end-post.php.

It may seems obvious for any developer out there but I’m not one and I deeply need my user to be able to post blog posts by themselves in their member page.

Many thanks!

Alex
