@jerryskate

Regarding your answer to @modemlooper’s suggestion:

I’m using a theme that have buddypess integrated, so that won’t work for me

You should really try to give the bp-custom.php approach a try – I think it’s the solution here.

Perhaps list all of the featured LinkedIn has that you want to have in your BuddyPress site then recommending plugins will be a little easier

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

The best approach is to list all of the places a member can enter text then try to lock each one down.

Off the top of my head I can think of:

The WP admin area – creating posts and pages etc

Comments (if you have comments enabled)

The BP profile area (xProfile fields)

The activity stream (commenting, replies, new updates etc)

Private messaging?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

You could filter the body class? Something like this:

function add_body_classes( $classes ) {
    if ( bp_is_member() )
        $classes[] = 'this-is-a-member-profile';

    if ( bp_is_my_profile() )
        $classes[] = 'this-is-my-profile';
}
add_filter( 'body_class', 'add_body_classes', 12 );

Hi @vikashwordpress

I just want to know that where is the actual add_action(…) and the function for this action is written, i have searched lot of files in buddypress but could not get it? can any one help ?

Which tag are you referring to? You mention do_action(“…”) in your question but this doesn’t tell us the tag. Perhaps see here for info on the do_action hook: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_action

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

Which theme are you using?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

Might be worth mentioning it isn’t a function. It’s an action hook

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php and bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-cache.php

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

There are lots of social login and registration plugins in the WP plugin repo:

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

The BuddyPress Like plugin does that:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

You’d need to do the following:

1. Determine if an avatar has been uploaded for each member
2. Filter bp_ajax_querystring to display members that have photos

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

@donorchildren hopefully you’ll get this fixed. Sorry if my reply looked critical, it wasn’t intended to be.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

I just installed the Buddypress update. It said 100% compatible according to author.

BP 2.0 is in beta. Where did it say 100% compatible? You shouldn’t use 2.0 beta in a production environment. There is a fair way to go yet before the core devs release BP 2.0 proper.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

I used it on a site with BP 1.9 and it worked OK. What doesn’t work for you? Have you tried raising a support request on the plugin’s forum? https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-like

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

@espellcaste I’m not sure but I doubt BuddyPress or WP will enforce a limit like that.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

It could be that a spam bot has got hold of your register page’s URL yoursite.com/register – Try going to the WP admin dashboard and change the slug of the register page to something different i.e. yoursite.com/sign-up-today – That might buy you time whilst you’re figuring out the problems you mention above.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 6 months ago]

Yes, you can use the BuddyPress Like plugin to do that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

The wording can be changed via the admin area.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 7 months ago]

What are your top 5 feature requests for 2.0?

@sooskriszta – do you mean 2.1?

PS – @johnjamesjacoby quite a creative profile pic!

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 7 months ago]

Hey @mcpeanut

The same code as either a plugin or as part of core should weigh the exact same on a site. Plugins only slow down or bloat a site if they are written badly. In theory you could have 100 plugins running with not much noticeabe impact on performance. Then you could have one bad plugin that grinds your site to a halt.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 7 months ago]

Just do something like this: $username = $first . '_' . $last;

If you need to check a username exists, you can do: if ( username_exists( $username ) )

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 7 months ago]

Hi @loufernando

Have you thought about using BP Profile Search?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 7 months ago]

All of those are good.

Also, the BuddyPress code is on GitHub if you need to reference quickly

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 7 months ago]

That would resolve your problem. The issue then would be how can you fight the spammers that sign up. The Google captcha would help. There’s also Akismet which is free for personal use and is unobtrusive too.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 7 months ago]

Does that plugin auto activate your members?
