BuddyPress is not Photoshop. The cropper is only cropping, ie from too big to admitted default size.
Size is dimension (150x150px), not quality (dpi).

Default avatar are registered in full-size of 150×150 and 50×50 for thumbnails. Both CSS adjusted depending where the avatar is used.

Adjusting a size from to big to smaller is generally better rendered as going from too small to bigger. But once a picture is cropped, his size fits to what is setup for default_size by WP/BP or you.

Picture format: jpg or png ? In brief; jpg remain static, png is more elastic. But nothing to do with BuddyPress img handling displaying (avatar, covers).

To fit img quality – from mobile to retina – you need an original picture of at least 145 dpi, what ever the size and the picture format. Actually for best quality, 300 dpi is a common usage.

But who knows what your users upload for their avatar ? A 3mo jpeg in 72 dpi 2400 x 1850 or a 30ko jpeg in 150 dpi and 800x600px ? Or an exact and optimized (default) 150X150, jpeg/145dpi of 9 ko ?

Frankly the only thing you can do in regard of “quality” pictures for BuddyPress, is to use the default size for avatars, eventually adjusted by a few more pixel because of your theme and available place.

I won’t struggle much with code but inform clearly my user to use a picture of 250×250 max for custom avatar and to respect – so far as possible – the size indicated for a cover img, for which you can recommand a dpi of 150. But without any waranty they obey your recommandations.

To adjust max cropping size, you can add this to your bp-custom.php file:

/* AVATAR MAX CROP SIZING */
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 60 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 60 );
define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 175 );
define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 175 );

In wp settings, define a static page as homepage (wich will be your welcome page), and don’t use BP “activity” page. Dashboard > Settings > Read

Add all BP items (activity, members, groups, …) to a menu ( haven’t seen them).

And for your site title link, use something like this:
instead of home_url( '/' ), replace by home_url( '/activity' ) for both if/else

That’s related to Yoast seo plugin. Would be better to ask on their forum as it is Yoast who removes a WP/BP part.

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Try this plugin:

(old but still working)

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Give details please.
Plugins ?
Theme ?
Custom functions ?
PHP version ?

When did those errors appear ?
Can you check for JS errors ? Use browser tools or Firebug…
Can also come from avatars or malformed nav items (changed since 2.6), so it might be a theme issue. Activate one of Twenty’s theme and see if errors remain.

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Is your custom language file in the correct folder ?
wp-content/languages/buddypress/buddypress-en_US.mo

Could also be your theme who contains some BP elements ?

Or you can also try what is indicated here:

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

As you use buddypress group email subscription, i would check there.
The link in the email goes to the group.

Any thoughts @r-a-y ?

Hi,

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

@henrywright, ah ?

OK, thx for the lesson 🙂

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

A bit different method is explained here.

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

@eli225, please calm down. @sharmavishal is only trying to help you !

It’s not easy trying to help people asking questions without giving much details. It’s the case with this topic and your previous. Have you even read this before asking ?

This is not possible: Buddypress Profiles Display In Wrong Order as it is not BP but the site admin who determines this.

xprofile fields and xprofile field groups (what you call section i suppose ) are drag’n’dropable.

If despite a correct positionning in the backend, the order changed on front-end, two possibilities: the drag’n’drop was to fast or there is a js error/latentency/cookie somewhere. And this is generally due to the theme in conflict with a plugin (which could be BP).

Unfortunately, kleo is a premium theme for which you can’t expect assistance here, as we have no access to it’s code.

For the part related to BuddyPress, note that the actual version works flawlesly with the xprofile component. Nobody related a similar issue to yours recently.

So back to handcrafted annoying but very related questions:
What do you call section ?
Which type of field do you use ?

Also related to general debug work:
Have you tested with another theme ?
Have you tested without any other plugin as BP ?

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Spam is an endless discussion on the web over years. Search this forum, you’ll find many topics.

Half of my users registrations are reported by buddypress like a spam.
The question is why ? Aside, note that it is WP who controls the registration, not BuddyPress.

Do you use Askimet or some other plugin who controls your registry ?

So I think it’s sufficient? no?

Simply ? NO !

Captchas are helping to determine a human activity, but generally don’t spam users.

Many spam bots go through captcha and many other goes directly to your db. And many many, if not all, can send emails !
Spammers are even cleverer as most door keepers, it’s a sad fact and a great part of that “sport” to prove it continuously.

Here some common tasks explained to avoid spam and other unwanted content on your site. Note that one of the first thing to do is to use another table prefix as the universal knowed wp_ !

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

The simplest way would be to create a copy of the group widget from within your child-theme functions.php file.

By doing this you can hardcode whatever you need to the original html. Once done, you use your widget instead the original widget. Only thing you have to take care is the function name which should be unique.

And voilà.

Of course, if you are a php ninja, you can probably extend the BP_Groups_Widget class to get the same result. Many examples here.

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Hi,

an option could be to change the default behave of the site title by modifying this from within your child theme.

This URL is generally hardcoded in header.php. For example, Twenty Sixteen use this:

<?php if ( is_front_page() && is_home() ) : ?>
	<h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
	<?php else : ?>
<p class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></p>
	<?php endif;

Of course, this can vary from one theme to another. But that’s the idea.

From this, you can play with the conditionnals or add activity to the URL.

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

On a default single install, all users can access their credentials via your-site/wp-admin/profile.php

From there they have access to the WP fieldss and to the extended profil fields.

From there, they can change email & password.

Admitting you closed admin access to all users, the only other way for them to modify there email and password is to use the “forgotten your password ?” at loggin stage.

All this is not really a BP thing, but how WP is working since 2003.
The 3 mandatory field (username, email and password) belonging exclusively to WP. They are showed on registration, ASIDE BuddyPress custom fields. BP doesn’t exactly handle them, it only show them. And as these fieds are WP territory and a bit sensible, they are not accessible from within frontend profile settings.

Guess the word “critical’ is a bit exagerated. Not every user change his mail or password every day. How long do you wait for a new phone number or new electricity supply ? Probably more critical things as a mail/password change !

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Not related to BuddyPress.

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

WordPress is a CMS.
Members are the heart of BuddyPress, which is a plugin.

Once BP is activated, your user haven’t to go to their dashboard, as anything can be done from front-end. If you need wp’s bio field, you could recreate one with xprofile.

Suggest to read the Codex to understand how BP is working.

And if it’s not enough, see this plugin (but probably only usefull if you had a wp install running with many contributors before using BP).

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

There is nothing to do ! Private groups are even private. If user 1 is only member of group A and NOT of group B, user 1 can only act with group A forum.

Aside, question related to bbPress should be asked on bbPress forum, not on BuddyPress forum.

[@danbp Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Normally profile field values are clickable and by doing this, each visitor can see a list of user who entered the same value. This is buit-in and intended to work on profiles.

Another approach would be to associate a member type to that value.
MT lets you create specific Member Directory.

Member Types

Documentation for this is in bp-core-buddybar.php

Some working examples for navigation (since 2.6) here.

And here a working example for:

1. remove Delete Account on user profile settings tab
2. add a new sub-nav item for “Memberships” to Profile > Settings

1 )

function bpex_remove_profile_settings_sub_tab() {   
	// remove Delete Account from Profile Settings
	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( BP_SETTINGS_SLUG, 'delete-account' );
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpex_remove_profile_settings_sub_tab' );

2 )

function bpex_add_sub_nav_to_profile_settings() {
global $bp;
$parent_slug = 'settings';
$child_slug = 'memberships';
		
		//Add subnav item 	 
		bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
			'name'			=> __( 'My Memberships', 'textdomain' ),
			'slug'			=> $child_slug, 
			'parent_url'		=> $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $parent_slug.'/', 
			'parent_slug'		=> $parent_slug, 
			'screen_function'	=> 'bpex_profile_membership_screen'
		) );
}

		function bpex_profile_membership_screen() {	
			add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'bpex_profile_membership_screen_content' );
			bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
		}

		function bpex_profile_membership_screen_content() {
			do_action( 'my_membership_post' );
		}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_add_sub_nav_to_profile_settings', 100 );

function bpex_membership_stuff() {
echo 'Some stuff here ?'; ?>
<h2>Lorem Ipsum for ever !</h2>
<p>Aenean suscipit nulla in justo. Suspendisse cursus rutrum augue. Nulla tincidunt tincidunt mi. Curabitur iaculis, lorem vel rhoncus faucibus, felis magna fermentum augue, et ultricies lacus lorem varius purus. Curabitur eu amet.</p>
<?php
}
add_action( 'my_membership_post', 'bpex_membership_stuff' );

Add this to bp-custom.php

Hi @shanehidir,

it’s not a BuddyPress issue. Ask on buddypres-media and/or theme support.

@pws2015

assuming your fields names are Address, City and Postal code, add this snippet to bp-custom.php and any logged-in user will see these fields on the Member Directory page underneath the already existing informations.

function bpex_address_on_directory(  ) {	

if( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) && is_user_logged_in() ) :

	echo '<p>';

	if ( $address = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Address', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
		echo $address.'&nbsp;';
	endif;

	if ( $zipcode = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Postal code', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
		echo $zipcode .'&nbsp;';
	endif;

	if ( $city = xprofile_get_field_data( 'City', bp_get_member_user_id() ) ) :
		echo $city .'&nbsp;';
	endif;

	echo '</p>';

endif;

}
add_filter ( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'bpex_address_on_directory' );
