Labs is meant to be experiments. Sometimes, experiments go wrong because no-one’s looking after them

There’s autosuggest in core for the recipient name box on the private message screen, but nowhere else AFAIK.

Yep. @slaffik‘s also done a BP-specific version, should you ever need a BP-specific content: http://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-default-data/

@hnla Is that updated for the “final” version in 1.8? So many changes in that ticket

BuddyPress redirects away from this page on purpose. It shouldn’t redirect to the home page, however.

In wp-admin, in Settings > BuddyPress, on the “Pages” tab, what page have you got the “Register” component mapped to?

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 3 days, 19 hours ago]

I’ve recently moved a site from WP Engine to Dreamhost’s new “DreamPress” service, and so far so good.

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 2 weeks, 3 days ago]

You can probably set up a CNAME on your DNS to do this — best idea is to ask your host for assistance with this.

Unfortunately BuddyPress’ activity stream is pretty much a “write once, never update” thing right now.

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 2 weeks, 5 days ago]

Activity component doesn’t support anonymous comments or behaviour; it wasn’t built with that in mind. Per Juan’s suggestion above, you could create a fake user account and write code to assign comments to that user, but… sounds hacky

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 2 weeks, 5 days ago]

It looks like it *should* work. Where did you get the .pot file from?

If you’ve found a case where theme compatibility breaks stuff, please submit a bug report onto https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 1 week ago]

Nice. If you figure out a problem plugin, let us know or create a trac ticket on https://bbPress.trac.WordPress.org

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

Are you using multisite and if so did you activate bbPress network wide?

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

Not sure. Suggest looking on bbpress.org forums in case anyone else has posted similar.

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

Hi,

Accounts on BuddyPress.org are linked to the WordPress.org database, and it’s not possible to delete these accounts. Best we can do is recommend you edit what details you can in your profile to something random, and just never log in again.

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

For white screens of death, we always need to see the error message inside the PHP Error log. You might need to contact your host’s support and ask them to do this for you. Let us know what it says!

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

Good luck!

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

No, but I haven’t reached out to the author, either. Maybe you could

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

Generally, use whatever size images you want. Any slowdown is unlikely to be caused by images.

For more advice or help investigating why you feel your site’s performance is slow, pop over to the WordPress.org forums as this isn’t a BuddyPress-specific question. Thanks!

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

Cool ideas. Activity favourites (and favouriting/liking of BP content) is something that needs an overhaul, so you never know

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 1 month, 4 weeks ago]

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2741 has some background

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 2 months ago]

You can just add the CSS you want to your theme’s style.css. Should be as easy as that!

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 2 months ago]

HTTP 500 errors means a problem occurred on the server.

Contact your host, and ask them to tell you what the errors are listed inside the server’s PHP error log. Once you have that, tell us what it says.

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 2 months ago]

@jamiethecomic The log in box was never a widget. It was part of the theme. Which is why there’s not a log in widget in 1.7

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 2 months ago]

This topic originally came in to me via email, and the request was “how to include the password in the email”. Which is a bad bad idea.

In terms of email customisation, short of hardcoding some PHP filters yourself, you might be stuck for a ready solution at the moment. I think Welcome Pack is broken.

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 2 months ago]

From memory, if you have a multisite with many blogs, it’ll go through each one populate the activity table. I haven’t time to go through all the code at the moment to see what else might be happening.

[Paul GibbsKeymaster @djpaul 2 months ago]

Interesting
