BuddyPress.org

I am glad to hear that a v.14 is planned!
For 10 years I’ve tried to build something with buddypress, but I have never been able to launch a completed project, as I haven’t had the skills to make it as functional as it needed to be.

I am one of those guys that have used wordpress + various other members plugin + freelancer to make what I want.

Every community is different – so is the ones I’ve tried to make, and more often than not I haven’t needed 60% of the functionality coming out of the box in buddypress. But there are always something missing, at least for what I wanted to use Buddypress for.

In version 14 I hope to see more functionality (presented in a clear way for the users) towards user-interacting: Easy to use notification system for 100% of interactions between users.

All notifications is so, so important – as this is the way to bring members back. “Lila has sent you a message, click here to see”, “You got a new friend request”, “Someone replied to your topic”.. This brings people back, helping to grow the community!

So: Live popups and emails + bell notifications for:
Private messages, new bbpress replies / new topics, bbpress mentions, commenting, like buttons, added, follows, friend requests, accepted friend request, rejected friend requests, rating of content, e.g posts, forum posts etc.

And the entire notification system must be easy to use for both members and the admins!
Not all admins have coding skills. We just need an easy way to implement a bell in the header, which nicely presents new notifications. Small things like that is what I’ve been looking for.

And I have often found that 50% of it is working as I hoped, but then the other 50% is just not there. Forcing me to go to Freelancer, and from the developers over there, getting told: “You don’t need such a heavy tool like buddypress to accomplish this. Let me fix it for you just using wordpress and UsersWP”.

Hello,

My wish is for BuddyPress to have a chat like private messaging system with only one thread allowed between users. Or maybe have a feature where we can enable a periodical delete of older messages so threads don’t get really large and slow.

I’d like to throw into the mix ActivityPub. With WordPress being able to support ActivityPub through the ActivityPlug Plugin from Automattic it would be interesting to understand how BuddyPress could interact with other servers and communities built on Mastodon and other ActivityPub compliant servers.

It would be interesting to see a home feed and have the ability to follow others on different servers.

Hello,

My wish is to focus on optimizing speed and building native features. So that I no longer have to use external plugins or snippets.

• Activity Autoloader
• Less number of loading activity posts. Why loading 20 activity posts? For speed we need only 5 (for example) activity posts. It can be combined with autoloader.
• Activity link (link on some URL) preview display as image title and description from the site When links are used in activity posts
• Important: Lazy load third-party resources with facades (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/performance/third-party-facades/?utm_source=lighthouse&utm_medium=lr)

Question: Heartbeat and admin ajax php, slow my web by 2 sec. Its any way how this can be optimalization?

Hello all…
I don’t know if I’ve missed something in BP setup (love BP plugin by the way – brilliant!) – but as users join my site (quite a few each day) – all they get in /activity/ is endless photo/profile/join updates – so posting anything else like news or interesting stuff in /activity/ is almost pointless as you have to scroll through knee-deep uninteresting photo updates no one wants to see. Perhaps photo updates and similarly basic updates should only show your friends activity – not everyone (or perhaps be able to set what appears more granularly at least the basics?).
Sorry if there is already way to do this – either way, filtering the activity stream a bit better would be a great update (/activity/ page to me the is one/thee main hub of the site but it is not at the moment – so needs to show only interesting stuff. Rome was not built in a day so I’m vey pleased with BP as it is 🙂

Elementor compatibility and a good documentation like BuddyBoss has.

Make it work with LiveCanvas and Bootstrap….

Hello developers,

What about a group video conferencing option, like Buddymeet ?

The plugin uses Jitsi’s open source software. Maybe a self hosted Jitsi instance could be an add-on?

I don’t expect this for 14.0, since I suspect it would be time consuming. But it would be a cool future feature I think.

This may seem an odd request but I’m sure others will have this issue if they choose to run membership mode.

I badly need a way to add a ‘Account viewed but needs further verification’ type of note/flag to new signup accounts that I need to more carefully review (where I’ve checked profile data entered in signup fields but not approved or activated) and filter these out in Manage new Signups.

Not being able to do this is making my request membership site impossible to manage, as I can’t easily find new signups amongst the one I’ve looked at but need further verification.

I now have a massive list of unapproved signup pages to scroll through – and – keep re-looking at signups I already checked. But this is not a complaint – I love everything you do with BP 🙂

Thanks
