Hi Lee,
I am sorry to hear about that. There are things that needs to be done and BP is moving in that direction. I can understand the frustration but there are reasons for using separate member types. WordPress has roles, fixed roles system and it is not easy create/manage new roles due to all the capability system.

BuddyPress member types are not for capability, the only purpose it serves is identifying different type of user. I hope you understand the difference between the two. Also, It is a very lightweight system. Another reason to introduce the member type instead of using roles can be thought as a way to support multisite. On Multisite, roles are site specific and will not suit the requirement of BuddyPress.

There are things that needs to be improved and the BuddyPress team have been generously improving it. We have to remember that BuddyPress is a non profit project and everyone donating time there are doing it for free. So, I respect it.

Hopefully, With the BP Development gaining more pace, you won’t have complains in future 🙂

Hi Petra,
It is not an issue with Conditional Profile field. BuddyPress does not allow registration if all the required fields are not filled on Registration page.

You will either need to move the partner field out of registration page(my moving to another field group) or make it non required. I am sorry for the trouble but it is the way how BuddyPress works. My advice is to avoid hiding required fields using conditional profile field.

Hope that helps.

Thank you Eric 🙂

Hi Graeme,
Welcome to Buddydev forums 🙂

Are you using BuddyPress clear notification plugin? If yes, you can create a function like this and use it anywhere

function buddydev_clear_notification_button() {
	
	if ( !  is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return ;
		
	}
	
	$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
	
	$notifications = bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user( $user_id );
	
	if ( ! $notifications ) {
		return ;
	}
			
			
	echo '<a id="clear-notifications" href="'.bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ).'?clear-all=true&_wpnonce=' . wp_create_nonce('clear-all-notifications-for-'. $user_id ).'"> [x] Clear All Notifications</a>';

}

Here is an example to show how to inject it at the top in the notifications screen(It is not the right way, the notification template does not have a hook, so I suggest using the function in the template directly instead of hooking like below)

function buddydev_inject_clear_button() {
	
	if( !  bp_is_notifications_component() ) {
		return ;
	}
	
	 buddydev_clear_notification_button();
}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_body', 'buddydev_inject_clear_button' );

Hope that helps.
Please do let me know how it goes?
