BuddyPress.org

OK i’ve come up with a solution but it feels dirty. Hoping someone can tell me if this approach is a bad one:

In header.php just above my search form I have


$standard_search_value = bp_get_search_default_text( 'members' );
$query_value = !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ? stripslashes( $_REQUEST['s'] ) : $standard_search_value;

// globalise the search…[Read more]

Glad to see you’ve narrowed it down to the theme. It could well have been your theme loading too many resources or perhaps loading slow resources. What theme were you using?

@micasuh BP shouldn’t add 20 seconds to the loading time so there is obviously an issue to be resolved somewhere.

Considering WP is zippy for you then that rules our your host being slow.

I’d try these steps:

1. Deactivate all plugins aside from BP (as you have already done)
2. Activate either bp-default or the Twenty Thirteen theme if you’re…[Read more]

@micasuh try running it through Pingdom to see which resource is loading slow…

I’d add it to bp-custom.php @applegateian

Be careful when enabling this on sites that have thousands of users. You might notice a slowdown in the autocomplete feature working, maybe.

Have you tried enabling autocomplete for all users?

define( 'BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL', true );

@martinbeaulne how are you processing your new form?

@jf_trumpet what exactly is running slow? If the site is accessible you can run it through the Pingdom speed check at http://tools.pingdom.com to see what resource is loading slowly.

WordPress is very zippy as it arrives out of the box – try deactivating BuddyPress to see if there is any improvement in load speed. That way you’ll know if it is…[Read more]

If you right-click on the video in Chrome you can usually find the option to “inspect element”. This will let you see the HTML. The next step is to use CSS to ‘style’ the HTML.

If you’re just starting out with HTML and CSS, then try taking a look over at w3schools:

They’ve got some…[Read more]

Anyway, everything aside, have you thought about using CSS to style the HTML you’ve got?

@number_6 just took a look through the plugin you’ve linked to. You’re right, it is modifying the HTML that you’re pulling from YouTube. So what you’re asking can be done easily enough. Have you asked the plugin author to modify the plugin for you?

@number_6

BuddyPress doesn’t rely on 3rd-party support as far as I know. oEmbed support is provided by WordPress.

Take YouTube for example. If you paste a YouTube video’s link into your blog post, your WordPress blog (the consumer) will make a request to YouTube (the provider). YouTube then responds with an oEmbed response. The HTML therefore…[Read more]

I’m not 100% sure on this but isn’t it down to the oEmbed vendor to pass across the HTML markup once a request is made?

@starapple Did you try the function r-a-y wrote?


function my_disable_bp_registration() {
remove_action( 'bp_init', 'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
remove_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup' );
}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'my_disable_bp_registration' );


You’d need to remove all the code you’ve added first then try adding that to…[Read more]

will do!

Try going to

yoursite.com/wp-admin

Hopefully you’ll be already logged in.

Else try logging in at:

yoursite.com/wp-login.php

Then the first link should work

@hnla thanks. Could be the .pot file I’m using? i’ll try again with a fresh copy.

Hey @zintax

Have you tried hooking to the bp_ajax_querystring filter? This is a good way of modifying both the loop and the pagination.

Hope this gives you a few ideas:


function modify_loop_and_pag( $qs=false, $object=false ) {

if ( $object !=…[Read more]
