BuddyPress.org

When you say it isn’t working, can you provide more details?

using ?var1=test in the URL, what does the following display?

if ( isset( $_GET['var1'] ) ) {
echo $_GET['var1'];
}

I did but that isn’t all of the code. For example, how are you using the class method?

No worries; welcome to the forum! 🙂

@alvin341965 That’s quite different so you should open a different topic for that 🙂

Just put @shanebp‘s code in your theme’s functions.php file.

@patrykos360

But now I can delete this form NAME from the registration area?

I have no idea because I don’t know the theme you’re using. The best thing to do is contact the theme author because they will be able to see the theme’s markup/code and advise you how to do it.

@patrykos360 you should contact the theme author as the problem is likely to be theme related. If the theme is purposefully BuddyPress-compatible, then perhaps the author will release a fix?

If you wanted to, you could disallow spaces in usernames by validating the field during registration. This is how you’d do it:

function zenimot_validate_username() {

if ( strpos( $_POST['signup_username'], ' ' ) !== false ) {
$bp->signup->errors['signup_username'] = __( 'Spaces are not allowed',…[Read more]

If you wanted to, you could enforce no spaces in usernames by validating the field during registration. This is how you’d do it:

function zenimot_validate_username() {
// Remove spaces from username.
$_POST['signup_username'] = str_replace( ' ', '', $_POST['signup_username'] );

Completely agree! The LAMP stack is so easy to install I think sometimes people might not realise there are alternatives. Be good to read your article once written!

Hi @zenimot

See 5185 for some background and a discussion on the topic.

That’s great you’re interested in updating the docs.

@henrywright who is the best person to ask on these forums to add a new section?

@mercime should be able to grant you contribute access to codex.buddypress.org.

Ref: https://codex.buddypress.org/participate-and-contribute/

@mattsten don’t bother with my solution; @shanebp‘s is far better!

That’s quite odd and it shouldn’t be happening. Do you have any custom code in your functions.php or bp-custom.php files?

Hey @mcpeanut

Check out the Nginx WordPress article; it may help whilst you’re waiting for a response.

Possibly, but it may be unrelated. In order to investigate that particular message, try opening a topic on the bbPress support forum

The problem might be coming from one of these. Try deactivating them all and then reactivating one-at-a-time to see which one introduces the problem.
