Hi danbp

I’ve read through that before and it doesn’t sound so easy to me.

I’m not a PHP, BuddyPress or WordPress expert I’m afraid, so editing core files is not something I feel comfortable doing. Plus if I wanted to add an image where would I do that? That’s why I was hoping there was a way to do this using a template file as I want to do more…[Read more]

For you maybe – I’m treading water (just) in the deep end.

Thanks for the code – I’ll give it a go.

Thanks for the link, but I’m not a WordPress or Buddypress coder, so it’s all a bit beyond me to be honest…

OK, I’ve gone through the buddypress plugin folder and found all instances of the words ‘Create an Account’ and there is only one file in which added edits will appear on the site and it’s this file:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-screens.php

How can I add this file to my buddy child theme so that I can make the text…[Read more]

I just followed the suggestions in this post to remove Admin from the activity stream and the members list. However it’s not a complete solution.

Admin gets removed from the main page members list and activity stream, but I use a ‘members’ widget in my sidebar and the…[Read more]

I would like to change the text on the Registration page. Namely:

“Create an Account”

and

“Registering for this site is easy. Just fill in the fields below, and we’ll get a new account set up for you in no time.”

I’ve got buddypress installed and I’m running a theme called ‘Buddy’ through a child theme called buddy-child.

I’ve looked through…[Read more]

Thanks for all your help guys – think I’ll stick with the hosting company I’m used to dealing with.

“Not sure why you would stick with looking in london hoping to get support on the phone during daytime hours – if I have a host that can’t answer me with support at 2am I move on (and have) to the next one.”

I work part-time and need to be able to contact during UK office hours so would prefer a UK basec company as I’ve had bad experiences hav…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback guys – really useful. I’ve been using this company – http://4uhosting.co.uk/ – for over 10yrs. They provide a good reliable service, it’s not too expensive and their support is fabulous.

But I’ve heard the term GridHosting in relation to social networks and thought that was something I would need to host a social network.…[Read more]

I understand that, and thanks for your feedback. That’s why I mentioned about being in the UK as I’d need a UK based company I could call/email during UK business hours.

However, I’m nore concerned about bandwidth and dealing with the social network growth and what kind of hosting can cope with that.

Any advice?
