The username serves multiple purposes:

It’s needed internally for use in URLs etc. First name and surname won’t play nicely in this context because you can’t have spaces etc in URLs.
It’s used as a ‘friendly’ unique identifier. What happens when you have 2 members named John Smith? How do you private message the first John Smith without private…[Read more]

Hi @minglonaire

This whole username, name system in Buddypress is weird

What do you think is weird about it?

Thanks for sharing @vimes1984. Would be great if you could get it into the official plugin dir!

You have a semicolon that needs removing (value of Para2)

You should check your error logs to see if anything is written. Also, what status code are you getting?

You should check your error logs to see if anything is written. Also, what status code are you getting? 503?

That looks pretty standard to me. everything is sent to index.php as expected so I doubt the problem is with your .htaccess directives. The problem must be elsewhere

Sorry, I didn’t read the article in full. I just noticed item 9 describes how to do the .htaccess part.

Do you have anything else in .htaccess that may be conflicting?

Hey @amalsh

Which server are you using? If Apache, do you have .htaccess enabled? If so then how about using mod_rewrite?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

This will do this following:

Turn on the rewriting engine
Check if the request isn’t HTTPS and
301 redirect whatever the…[Read more]

Hi pixskull

You have a number of options. There are plugins you could install which would help you. Also there is the code-it-yourself approach. It depends on your time, coding skills, requirements etc.

Check out https://apppresser.com/ as well. It lets you build apps with WordPress.

I’m not an expert on mod_rewrite or regexp but:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .register*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*http://manifestationjournal.com/.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://mysite.com/ [R=301,L]

This tells Apache you want to permenantly redirect all HTTP requests to…[Read more]

I’m using px units for measurement right now and would be good to get over to rems.

Good idea. I’m amazed at how the use of relative units drastically improves visual appearance when using large (and small) devices. Everything scales so nicely. Probably a good idea to use vector images such as SVG as well.

Hi @kphawaii

Which theme are you using? Plugins?

Hi @joesegal

A couple of things spring to mind that could be the cause of the problem:

The theme you’re using (Try TwentyFifteen)
The plugins you have installed (Try deactivating all plugins after switching theme to see if the problem resolves)

@lisame as I said earlier, you will need to use a different hook for the settings page but looking through the bp_settings_action_general() function there seems no hook available.

You have 2 options from here if you’d like to get this sorted:

Request the core team insert a hook inside bp_settings_action_general() which will let you validate…[Read more]

Hi @fuzzllc

A way of doing this would be to override the user’s role when they sign up. BuddyPress provides a hook we can use for this bp_core_signup_user. So, you could do something like this:

function fuzzllc_set_default_role( $user_id ) {
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );
$user->set_role( 'keymaster' ); // keymaster can be whatever you…[Read more]
