Just an update in case someone is googling the same thing

(at least for my install) the slug of each member is not user_login but the user_nicename field.
So changing that will change the user profile URL

Thx again for the hint!

Hi Dan!
Thanks for the hint.

If I use that plugin it works
If I do change the username programmatically ($wpdb->update) it doesn’t update the user URL… will try to investigate why 🙂

Cheers

In the shared hosting category I can recommend SiteGround for the excellent support (that’s probably what you need the most in your situation by the way)

As far as I know there’s no plugin for this quite advanced feature
You would have to set-up an inbound number with Twilio.com (or similar service) and then create a plugin to fetch incoming SMS and check that the telephone number belong to an existing member.

Good luck!

Hey
Since it’s a theme related issue you will get better help if you ask in the RTPANEL support forum: https://rtcamp.com/support/

[Giacomo]

I’m not aware of any plugins doing this
If you can develop it you should probably hook to “xprofile_updated_profile” so that every time a user update his profile you send him the list of other users with the same value in the inspiration field
Hope this helps at least a little!

Forum functionality is provided by bbPress. You should ask in the forum over there you’ll get better support: https://bbpress.org/forums/
Anyway with some custom coding it shouldn’t be a problem to meet those requirements.

Hey Ben

Auto embeds are a WordPress feature: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/embeds/

You can disable them site-wide with a filter: http://wpengineer.com/2487/disable-oembed-wordpress/

Good luck!

You can edit the functions.php file of your theme to change the length of the excerpt.
Make sure to backup functions.php before doing anything. And do the changes in a test server first.

This is the code I just tested on twentytwelve and it does the job (can be refined though).

Just copy paste the code below into functions.php and change 9999 with the excerpt length you prefer

function firewire_longer_excerpts( $excerpt_length ) {
    $excerpt_length = 9999;
    return $excerpt_length;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_excerpt_length', 'firewire_longer_excerpts' );

[Giacomo]

It’s probably because of the theme you’re using

If I were you I would try to activate another theme for example twentytwelve https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwelve

With that you won’t have this kind of issues and you’ll still be able to customise the look and feel to make it looks very similar to what you have now

[Giacomo]

If you are using WordpPress multisite by default anyone signing up to example1.com will be able to log-in to example3.com –
But by default he will only be able to see his own profile. You will then have to manually change his role to at least subscriber for him to participate/see BuddyPress on example3.com

If you don’t have a developer you can try this plugin to automatically assign a subscriber role on example3.com to each new user registered elsewhere

Good luck!

I tested this on BuddyPress 2.0 and twentytwelve theme and it’s adding the custom content

[Giacomo]

Hi Rich

To do this you must know some HTML and be able to edit a theme file directly via FTP.

Go to your theme folder and open functions.php and copy paste this at the bottom of it.

add_action('bp_before_register_page', 'custom_register_content');
function custom_register_content() {
	?>
	
	Your custom register text here. You can add images if you know basic HTML
	<img src="http://www.fromladtodad.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/surprise.gif" />
	
	<?php
}

add_action('bp_before_activate_content', 'custom_activate_content');
function custom_activate_content() {
	?>
	
	Your custom activate content goes here.
	
	<?php
}

Then replace with your content/HTML the custom texts between ?> and <?php

[Giacomo]

okay my fault, I though I could edit those as well : )

thanks again!

In the primary core fields group I only see the Name field, no username and no email
I could even add that programmatically If I knew the function… I’m trying to look it up on the codex

ps. Paul thanks for your commitment to BP! : )

[Giacomo]

Still can’t see it in the WP backend
Must be added programmatically?
Thanks 🙂
Giacomo
