Any suggestions to combat the privacy issue without compromising speed?

It adds it to the registration page, but the avatar doesn’t get saved; it’s a scam.

Never buy anything for your Buddypress site from Envato Market – I made a $20 mistake by not reading about the company first.

Listen to Venutius; he is totally correct about…[Read more]

I’m going to search Buddypress Trac and see if the authors are aware of it. I’ll report it if it’s not in there.

I viewed the console, and found this:

But where do I go from here?

I’ve been using this line of code: define( 'BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL', true ); in my bp-custom.php file, in order to turn on autocomplete when a user is composing a message.

But, it no longer works. Have there been any changes to BP that I failed to read about?

Thanks in advance.

Then copy your buddypress/template folder & subfolders over to your child theme.

Go through each file, search for instances of the word “FRIENDS,” and replace it with “CONNECTIONS.”

If you can’t find all instances of the word “FRIENDS” in these files, check your buddypress.po file and use Poedit to…[Read more]

Or, you can pay a developer thousands of dollars to make a plugin do it for you 🙂

User Menus

Are you using a Child Theme?

If not, you should create a child theme, apply changes to the css files in the child theme, and not typically have this problem ever again.

They said they changed the nchor tag in the new version. What kind of elements are displaying wrong?

I rolled back to the previous version, re-installed the update, and the 2nd try was a success.

Good luck!

Not a big deal – but let me know if you have…[Read more]

One small problem that remains, is that I still have parenthesis wrapped around $user->name

Here’s a chunk of the code:

printf( '<span id="%s" href="#"></span><img src="%s" style="width: 15px"> %s (%s)' . "n",
esc_attr( 'link-' . $user->ID ),
esc_url( $user->image ),…[Read more]

I’m looking for a way to thwart the the input box display for additional recipients while composing a message.

The best way to do this, I assume, is to check to see if the first recipient string is empty. If it’s not empty, then we need to use inline…[Read more]

The feature works great, but in the list it displays both the username and the display name (in parenthesis.) That is what I’d like to change. Can I hide one or the other, so it doesn’t show both names in the list?

While viewing the members directory beyond page 1, I’ll click on a member from the list, and view their profile.

When finished, there’s no “Back” button. I can my browser’s back button, but that returns me to page 1 every time, even if I’m viewing members on page 16.

That’s…[Read more]

I’m looking to hire a developer familiar with BuddyPress for a handful of tasks that I can’t figure out on my own, or through support forums.

I’ve tried using upwork.com, but despite the way that site is advertised, there was nobody interested in my BuddyPress objectives.

I’m aware of Buddydev – that guy is great. But do I have any…[Read more]

This time, it worked without any problem.

Thanks!

After reverting back to the previous version, I installed the update again, prepared to take notes, but this time, it worked flawlessly. Weird!

1) bp_is_active seems like it’s gone? There was a fatal call to it in my child theme’s functions.php

2) There was another issue with a core function.. but I forgot what it…[Read more]

Rename the Buddypress folder – it will disable the Buddypress plugin.

If Buddypress is causing the problem, this should at least let you get back into your dashboard.

Assuming this is the case, then you will be able to delete Buddypress the proper way, via “Plugins.”

As for vote/share posts, most likely there’s an additional bbpress plugin to help make that happen. If not, it sounds like stuff you can whip-up yourself fairly easy.

bbpress, like Buddypress, is open source, also, both plugins offer child-theme functionality, so you can make quick hacks very…[Read more]

The plugin author was kind enough to guide me through the process of making that work. If you follow those instructions, your users will be able to upload their profile photo during registration.

Although this method works, it causes a slight problem: The users won’t be able to update their photo in the…[Read more]

But if I’m understanding you wrong – and you want to have a separate site just for your buddypress…[Read more]

Based on that info, I decided I need to add an index.php to my /single/ folder. I created the file, but I’m not sure what to put in it.

Can you give me an example of what I can do? Or link me to a page with further explanation? I tried googling “custom buddypress template,” but I don’t even know if my search query is correct.

I’m ready…[Read more]

There’s no trick. I was putting the <span in the wrong place. It has to go before the single quote. (And of course /span after the other single quote.)

Then, I did the same thing for the other element.

So there you have it – an awesome way to show unread messages in a menu item. The only thing missing now is a way to automatically…[Read more]

My intention was to stop people from being able to send a single message to multiple recipients, but now I have realized that it was a bad idea, so I went to delete the code from my CSS file, but the code is not there.

I’m a former BBS sysop. Are any of you former or current BBS people?

I got into BBSign in the early 90s, and I’m still into it somewhat, but a couple years ago, a friend of mine recommended ditching the 80 column ascii scene for Wordpress. I fought it for a while, but I eventually listened.

So, I’m now a Buddypress…[Read more]

This is resolved, but I can’t figure out how to mark it as such. Sorry about that too!

First, I must mention that I know there have been other threads on this topic. However, I missed the conversation by years, and I need to reopen this discussion.

Someone mentioned that they were able to bypass the wordpress email requirement by editing register.php to make it generate a random email address, insert it into the email…[Read more]
