I was wondering what Rocket Loader was too! I did a little bit of digging:

Rocket Loader

Automatically optimizes your pages to minimize the number of network connections and ensure even third party resources won’t slow down page rendering.

Hi @speedys

Searching the Plugin Directory for “custom admin bar” I came across a few plugins that may be of interest:

Custom Admin Bar
WordPress All In One Admin Bar
Wp My Admin Bar

These may or may not do what you need but feel free to search yourself. There seems to be lots available.

Hi Ian

wpautop() is a function you could use for this. Check out:

Hi @pavle123

Have you tried searching the WP plugin repo for something like “social login”? There are quite a few so you might want to give some a try on a test install to find the one that suits you best

Hi @jsonb123

…there is a need to have a Members Directory on the site…

BuddyPress does provide a members directory.

They may or may not be able to communicate to other members

BuddyPress has both public and private messaging which could take care of this.

I think you’re doing the right thing by installing and testing it out to see if it’s…[Read more]

Hi @vijaymetatagg

There is some related discussion in this Trac ticket but nothing has been implemented yet:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4132

The best way to debug this if you’re sure only certain individuals are affected is to find out what’s different about them:

What role are they?
Are they activated members?
Are they marked as a spammer?
Do they have any friends?
Anything else?

Some (maybe all) of these won’t be related but with something like this when…[Read more]

Hi @godavid33,

Unless things have changed, users should be able to message anybody. Are you sure you’re not using a plugin such as BuddyPress Private Messages for Friends Only?

Hi @jjnw

I haven’t tested your solution but wanted to point out any modifications you make to core files such as buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypresss/members/single/profile.php will be lost on upgrade of the plugin.

There is a way around this! Take a look at the Template Hierarchy article. There isn’t much to it actually. All you need…[Read more]

Thanks for your feedback @00mark. The buddypress.org site was actually open sourced back in the spring so you can now checkout, review, and patch the code yourself (if you want to). 🙂

Also, take a look at the Your BuddyPress forum for links shared by the community.

Hi @tightflks

Try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function my_signup_redirect( $user_id, $user_login, $user_password, $user_email, $usermeta ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() . '/members/' . $user_login . '/profile/edit/group/1/' );
exit();
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'my_signup_redirect', 10, 5…

You could do this:

echo '100' . bp_displayed_user_id();

So, if the value of bp_displayed_user_id() was 1, then 1001 would be echo’d on screen.

That said, I don’t see anything wrong in starting at 1. There’s no shame in being a brand new website. Everyone started at zero, even Facebook

Hi @robparker,

May I ask why you’re querying by username and not by user ID?

You can simply use the author parameter with WP_Query. Using what you linked to as an example:

$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged' => $paged,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'author' => $user_id
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

Where $user_id…[Read more]

Hi @beenvy2

The colour can be changed via CSS. If you’re not familiar with CSS, take a look at this tutorial to get you started.

Info specific to WordPress can be found in the CSS Codex article.

I wouldn’t advise editing the user IDs in the database as I have no idea what would happen when WordPress wants to allocate an ID to the next newest member and you’ve already used that particular ID.

Which number would you like to start at? If it’s not very big then you could always create some dummy users yourself which would take up the first…[Read more]

I want only the friends to be shown rather than all the members of the website for the chat option

I’m not very familiar with the plugin’s code. Have you tried asking on the BuddyDev support forum?

http://buddydev.com/support/forums/

The hosting package you should choose depends on a few things. In general, give consideration to all of these things:

How many visitors you’ll get
Is your website’s functionality resource-hungry? Stuff like dynamic image resizing will be a heavy load on the server
Price of the hosting package
Hosting support. Does the hosting package come…[Read more]

Hi @bacigaloop

Posts are displayed by single.php. Take a look in your theme to see if there is a hook available in that file. If not you could always add one yourself by creating a child theme.

Hi @flaviamelo

BuddyPress doesn’t have a Login_Helper class or a change_buddypress_avatar method. Which plugins are you using? This is 99.99% likely to be due to one of them.
