BuddyPress.org

If you want the “Name” (display name) to always be set by default to “username”, you can add this code into your functions.php (or preferable using the Snippet Code plugin WPCode – with a PHP snippet code).

This should setup the default display name to always show the “username” when creating new user profiles.

Hello again @forinn

I hate to make a different txt-document since it would not let me upload a longer answer in here and then started to refuse because of duplicate posting. Anyways, see my attached answer from the link below.

Hope it helps! 🙂

@forinn I’m trying to upload a reply, but it’s not letting me lol. I’m getting back to you with an answer asap when it lets me post.

Also from my side, very much appreciated all the help and effort -> sorry for not mentioning that before! I was so hyperfocussed on the issue that I forgot human interaction.

Anyways, again, thank you.

@forinn no worries, I totally know the feeling lol. I just love the troubleshooting part so for me this is a fun problem to try and figure out…[Read more]

I just wanted to thank @dreampixel for the support they are giving here on the site. It’s very refreshing. Usually no help whatsoever is offered by any of the people behind Buddypress. None.

Hello @thinlizzie 🙂

I’m by no means an expert or anything lol, but I’ve been playing around with WordPress and numerous different large setups for the p…[Read more]

Also please note that the name field marked in the Users > Profile Fields with “(Primary)” IS the display name itself. This should be the field users use upon registration of their user – and this is also the field the BuddyPress Member Directory uses to sort content Alphabetical.

Hello again 🙂

This might start to make sense then!

First, when you translate something within the code itself (not using a translation plugin and po/mo file) it will for the most part be overridden whenever you update your WordPress / plugins that are translated. So, this might be why it doesn’t work now after the update.

I personally use a c…[Read more]

Sounds weird, since I’m also using the user fields (xProfile fields) – my site is translated into Danish, but my site-admin back-end it set to English. This is due to it being easier to find items in the menu when troubleshooting (hate when settings and so on is translated lol).

So seems weird to me if the translation part of it is causing the…[Read more]

Found the solution with the following code:

Restrict in single group
function restrict_activity_posting_for_specific_group( $can_post, $user_id, $group_id ) {
// The ID of the group you want to restrict posting in (replace with the actual group ID)
$restricted_group_id = 123; // Example group ID

// Only apply the restriction to the…[Read more]

Unfortunately this plugin breaks the “groups” settings from backend and comes up with a critical error, so if anyone has a solution, please let me know. 🙂

Sounds like compatibility issue within the theme then. Have you tried it with a BuddyPress supported theme?

You can add users from back-end, yes.. but the users still need to “activate” their account and login for them to show up on the front-end (in directory).

Does the member show up in the normal member directory? – and is the issue only with the “alphabetical search”? .. My alphabetical search works fine, so might be a theme compatibility…[Read more]

Found plugin that does the job:

BP Fan Page

Try download this plugin – and switch to the user you created (can also be done from backend) – and “login” with that user. Normally users show up, when they have logged in after registration.

Maybe that works. 🙂

User Switching

Please do me a favor, go to your latest buddypress and wordpress version and try to use the userlist/friendlist, I am 1000% sure you are having the same issues.

Sorry, but works fine for me – even with latest update to BuddyPress Version 14.2.1.

I even run a pretty complex site with a lot of software that needs to be compatible – including…[Read more]

Hello again 🙂

The user you’re setting up, is this a legit setup with a mail (where you can activate the account)?. If not, then maybe give this a try. Normally users must activate their accounts from a mail they receive upon registration before they’re visible on the directory.

Also, what settings have you setup under the following:
Settings >…[Read more]

Does sound like there is a conflict somewhere – no snippet codes enabled while troubleshooting?
Could you provvide screenshots of what it looks like on your end? 🙂

Hello @forinn

Works fine for me, so sounds like a third-party conflict or maybe an issue within your theme.

Have you tried troubleshooting the issues? (Cleared cache, tested compatibility within plugins and so on?)

Hello @emaralive

Thank you for the update. Sounds exciting – I’m looking forward for the new release when it’s ready. In the meantime I just made the “Load More” button hidden on my site. 🙂

Please keep me updated. Thank you! 🙂
