I stripped my bp-custom.php down so that it is almost empty. @modemlooper‘s code works great now. Must have been something in there causing a conflict.

Thanks guys

@naijaping

Perfect! many thanks

+1 to that idea or any way of encouraging users to add an avatar during sign up.

A big improvement could also be made to the activity stream. Currently it isn’t possible to have personal activity AND friend’s activity in the same feed. Would be nice.

I’ve done this too! Many times. Very annoying i agree!

The activation page is used to activate a member’s account manually (as an alternative to automatic activation after clicking the link sent in the activation email).

Both the member and site admin are able to enter the activation key manually. Useful if the member is having problems receiving the activation email.

Hope this helps

Could the missing members be users that have signed up but not yet activated their account?

Just a thought

do you have a page.php file in your theme’s directory?

@modemlooper popping this into my bp-custom doesn’t work for me

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT', 'http://www.petfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/101418789-cat-panleukopenia-fact-sheet-632x475.jpg' );

It could well be my install (i have heavily used functions.php). Mind you, i’ve not used many plugins. I’ll try on a fresh install and report…[Read more]

@bphelp haha!

you’re right i suppose, it does depend a lot on the plugin. After all, a plugin can be a few lines of code in a single file or a huge folder full of badly written buggy spaghetti code.

I’m trying to get this to work purely for my own satisfaction now as I had it working at some point in the past.

@tbermudas thanks for the idea, i used to have it working (without the need for a plugin). Thinking using a plugin for this is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

@modemlooper have you tested this recently? It used to work for me but not right now. Very puzzling!

@chouf1

How about accounting for usernames, first names, surnames across multiple components such as Activity, Profile…? Only a plugin will let you do that, unless you want to write some bulky custom code.

+1

The SeoPress plugin will let you do that.

Although Yoast’s WordPress SEO works perfectly with WordPress, it isn’t currently compatible with BuddyPress. I suggest you try a plugin such as SeoPress. There are some problems with that plugin (lacking 404 page support, registration page title buggy, incompatible Friends component etc) but on the whole it is about the best option on the market…[Read more]

Thanks for getting back to me. The file is complete and unmodified.

The error was echo’d to the “Update Plugin” screen during update from v1.7.1 to 1.7.2. I was making use of the function in my functions.php to remove the mentions tab:function remove_mention_nav() {
global $bp;
