I have it in htaccess file as per below, I am sure it will correct the letters.

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ –
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php

# END WordPress

If the ‘ meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ ‘ in page head doesn’t help (it also didn’t help to me for Sk.) then placing ‘AddDefaultCharset UTF-8′ line into your .htaccess file will do it for you! Without the two ‘ just like below. Let me know whether it’s what you want. Make sure you save/upload [...]

Some host will do this for you for free. You can do it easy too: Archive, zip, your full database if it’s larger (or if small just download it as in .sql file.) Archive all your files and folders into a zip file. Download the 2 zip files. Create the same database on your new [...]

I also think it would be wonderful and popular feature! I’ve had something similar , since long back, but it’s written in Perl so it is a bit unupdated now (waiting for this new BP Media). Also activity streams we used, in a form of private guestbooks on personal profiles and people loved it. Each album link [...]

John, interesting. But how do you “show one thing for logged in and one thing for not logged in” /index page? Just with coding on the one page/template set for home or create a whole new page template?

I am considering using wp categories and subcategories to use as the directory system, don’t know whether it could be the only WP with BP for this directory OR whether I will need a separate/new standalone WP installation (second wp installed in a subfolder with a separate members database). Logistically and technically with the WP [...]

Thank you Roger! I’ve been reading the thread, and another one where your help is also perfect. I now have to educate myself on how to create/etc. all regarding the bp_custom.php file. Or perhaps purchase a tutorial/s or consulting from someone here who is already advanced, to speed up the learning!

Is this matter of printing correct meta titles by the header.php already fixed somewhere? Should we do something?

I found this fresh discussion very helpful:

In BP function reference list I have just found bp_group_description and bp_group_description_excerpt , maybe there is even more useful stuff (does anyone know more about this?). I’ll play with these two today. *Edit: Does anyone know; HOW could this be used in a function, and are there any more of such useful for adding SEO [...]

Yes it would be great if title and meta description were possible to tweak in BP just like in WP, so many options there. E.g. in WP there’s no need for All in one seo plugin in WP for adding meta description in posts because excerpt for feeds can be used in the head of [...]

Foxly and Francesco thank you guys the rewritten plugin is really an important addition to BP.

I will be most happy once galleries for groups are implemented as I want to keep a group or two only for accepted payed members which involves also the galleries’ images only for these members.

Maybe you are uploading an image which dimensionally smaller and then it gets stretched to fit the profile photo space/size? Try to upload larger picture say 200px x 200px

It’s there as Paul said in your main wordpress admin, find it in your WP admin left menu towards the bottom. “WP Admin – Settings > Reading Settings > A static page (tick radio button) > “Front Page displays” (and select a page you want for your home). You can set a page for home [...]
