BuddyPress.org

@sunflowermom do you need an email field on there at all? Part of the sign up process includes email by default and it’s doesn’t show on the profile.

@jwolin are you talking about facebook like or Buddypress like?

@leethompson does this plugin help? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/

The groups widget shows groups by most popular, newest and most members

@fernmacho This plugin allows you to activate users https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wp-activate-users/

It sounds like you also need to consider a way of blocking those bots that are signing up!

@mike84 and in response to your previous question, yes I do a fair bit of moderating – running a community takes a lot of work, buddypress is a great tool to start but it takes time to make a community.

I think the file you need it registration > activate.php
You can edit that file as you like

@raquel24or I missed you comment, I only get email notifications if you use @ewebber
FB plugin I use is mentioned above
The code for each of the social links are readily available on the relevant websites, I use […]

@mike84 I use the same code that the sidebar uses on my homepage and I use wpfb autoconnect, it will turn up where the sign in field is

Hi @mike84 I only use the one plugin – when you say “front page” what do you mean?

@r-a-y great stuff, I think it’s going to take me a while before I can do the big upgrade, but I’ll get there slowly!

that’s not a current feature, but the word is that it is on it’s way

@tommyhoang you can remove that line from the relevant file in your child theme, probably something like groups> forum> single.php although you’ll need to check that file name

@harty I played around with if statements in my actual child theme php pages, but it’s likely that the second link you posted might be the best way to go – I think a bp developer might know best.

@naijaping you’re probably best creating the logo in the size you want it to display and creating a .png with a transparent background – you should try not to use css to change the size of it

Globally? You’d probably need to allow divs in your theme, then define styles for them

Yes, but people don’t read the rules, they are useful so they you can remove posts later, but it won’t completely stop them. I do restrict group creation now, but I wouldn’t have wanted to start the site that way.

@harty is this in response to the email that you sent me?

For the benefit of the forum, the question came from:

I am building a similar site in new Zealand and wonder if you can tell me how you separated […]
