BuddyPress.org

The “log out function” is part of WordPress. What do you mean?

BuddyPress is trying to be the best social platform available. We’re not about building databases of spammers. 🙂

Be assured, we feel your pain and have given/continue to give considerable thought to managing […]

BP has always used WP’s login system; we’ve never implemented are own.

WP Core has a difference in username requirements depending if you’re on multisite or not-multisite. As BP started out life as a WPMU […]

Hmm. Interesting.

Can you create an enhancement ticket over at http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org/? Thanks.

Please don’t create posts asking people to look at other posts. You could have bumped your original post.

Assuming you mean a white screen (rather than a 404 page) — is a PHP error. Look in your web server’s error log for clues, or ask you host to do this for you.

In BP 1.6, we’ve added profile field visibility (privacy); ‘anyone’, ‘logged in users’, ‘my friends’. Try it out on testbp.org when you edit your profile. Not quite what you’ve asked for, but it should […]

If you’re referring to bbPress 1.x plugins, I’d strongly recommend against it (most of them wouldn’t work, anyway).

Achievements wasn’t designed with being a virtual currency in mind, so maybe use Cubepoints.

You may have updated wp-config.php, but group forums uses bb-config.php.

Yes. WP is triggered when a user activates their account; you’re slipping that step by creating users in the backend.

No, this site hasn’t duplicated the groups component. It’s basically a bunch of IFs in the template code, and one action early on in the load process. In theory duplicating a component should work but I’ve never tried it.

Not sure what you mean by ‘group requirements’?

Akismet works on a string of text which it decides if it’s spam or not. I’m not sure how to do that meaningfully from a registration form.

Uh. Is pagename intentionally commented out in that example ?

Not out of the box.

Look in your web server’s error log (or ask your host to do that for you ).

Functions.php is too late. Use bp-custom.php or wp-config.php.
