All 3 of these options (BP Simple Private, Buddypress Lock, or the custom code) all cause significant page speed issues. (like 3 seconds)

Any suggestions to combat the privacy issue without compromising speed?

Envato Market has a $20 plugin that claims to “add upload avatar to registration page.”

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.

Thanks for sharing your solution. Shortening the filename worked for me too.

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.

Thank you! I appreciate your help with this. Works great. Now I can start enjoying all those nifty Nouveau enhancements.

Thanks for your advice.

I viewed the console, and found this:

But where do I go from here?

If you haven’t already, create a child theme.

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 🙂

Put it all in one row:

/* Aligns Registration Profile Details fields to the left */
#buddypress .standard-form #basic-details-section,
#buddypress .standard-form #blog-details-section,
#buddypress .standard-form #profile-details-section {
width: 100%;
}
#profile-details-section {
margin-top: 20px;
}

And the finish button too…[Read more]

This plugin puts a band aid on that issue.

User Menus

Which element(s) are styled wrong?

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 had the same issue with the past 2 upgrades. It had something to do with my child theme. Are you using one?

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

Good luck!

Correction: What I meant was, I didn’t find any parentheses in the span tag, but I removed them from the %s, and it display the name without parentheses, but it crippled the function; without those parentheses, I click on a name from the list and the name gets printed with html code wrapped around it.

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

Thanks! That worked.

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 reverted back to the previous version, and installed the update again.

This time, it worked without any problem.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

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