I’m going to post this thread in BuddyPress forums to see if they are aware of what’s going on but any help here would be greatly appreciated.

This is the BuddyPress forum?

Regarding root profiles, there may be a problem with certain logic working in 1.9.2 if root profiles are enabled. Root profiles are enabled if your links look like this:

example.com/username

rather than:

example.com/members/username

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

have you used WordPress.com? That uses WP MU and has more than 10,000 users. In fact, I’d guess it easily has over 1 million users.

Perhaps somebody here already runs a BP or MU site which has lots of users and could give you some feedback?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Are you using root profiles?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Are you using root profiles?

Your problem may be related to a change which went live in 1.9.2. Have a read this ticket from comment 10 onwards:

Hi @imdreamer

he said wordpress is not a good solution to build a large scale’s social network, it has limitation in its core structure

What was the limitation that your friend was referring to?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@buddyboss thanks! I did try searching but found nothing. That thread would have saved me having to dig around bp-messages-template.php to find the answer.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Done it with:

$args = array( 
            'order' => 'DESC'
        );
if ( bp_thread_has_messages( $args ) ) :

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

You could try adding this to your theme’s functions.php:

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'bp_core_add_cropper_inline_js' );

It’s a quick and dirty approach – just removes the script necessary for the cropping to happen. You’ll still be shown the image crop step – they’ll just be no way for the user to actually do the cropping.

Note: Untested.

The xprofile_sync_wp_profile function should take care of the last name for you. Isn’t this happening?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Gumby isn’t one I’ve used personally, but agreed it does look good! I see it’s built with Sass – which is always good.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@marcella1981 I’m probably the worst person you’d want to help out on a design project 🙂 – my eye for design isn’t great. I pretty much use a front-end framework for everything – check out Bootstrap and Semantic UI. There’s also Foundation which is V popular but I haven’t used that.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@marcella1981 I think you should really have a target audience in mind instead of building something and wondering who will use it. I’d come up with a list of ‘audiences’ and then perhaps build a theme for each one.

Take the Theme Directory as an example – in there you will have themes for photographers, themes for beauty therapists, themes for the big corporates and so on. Each theme author has a pre-determined target audience they are designing for. If you think of it that way, it might give your coding some direction – and maybe even ease the headache slightly (we all get them) 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@marcella1981 visually, I’ve got to say version 2.0 is a huge improvement over 1.0. I think the design of 2.0 looks very stylish!

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Your file should be:

/buddypress/members/index-directory.php

and not:

/buddypress/members/index.php

(which is what I think you mentioned you have).

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@ubernaut or YouTube’s server is down (unlikely but possible) 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@ubernaut is right – it’s called oEmbed and it’s a feature provided by WordPress core. BuddyPress supports oEmbeds in activity updates by default. If you’re not seeing a YouTube video after pasting in a YouTube video’s link, then there is possibly a problem with your theme.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Ah OK. No problem.

The fix here would be to add some CSS to your theme’s style.css document.

input.classname1 {
    width: 100%;
}

input.classname2 {
    width: 100%;
}

You could try adding that snippet and make sure to change classname1 and classname2 to the class used on the username and password inputs (If you site was live then I could tell you these but can’t tell from the screenshot).

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Is there a plugin to make BuddyPress compatible also with themes not specifically designed for it?

Not that I know of.

That said, if the display of the widget fields is the only problem you’re having then a fix shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Do you have a link to your site?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi @ipnotico

This is likely a problem with your theme’s CSS. Which theme are you using?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 9 months ago]

Hi @bilalvirgo10

BP 1.9 was released just recently so BP 2.0 won’t be available any time soon.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 9 months ago]

@thatmtnman it’s getting better – lots of performance improvements are in-progress and many are planned. See some of the recently active Trac tickets for examples:

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 9 months ago]

@terraling nice solution! Using that approach, I don’t think you will need any JavaScript at all now.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 9 months ago]

Oops I do apologise! I read up to “What can I hook into?” and couldn’t think of a hook then got carried away thinking of how you could solve the problem 🙂

EDIT: Perhaps you could request a new hook?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 9 months ago]

You guys should let the rtMedia plugin developers know you’re unhappy with the display. If enough people agree then I’m sure they’d look into it!

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 9 months ago]

@terraling

How about tricking BP into thinking the password has been entered twice? You can do that with a little JavaScript. You’d need to make the 2nd password field into a hidden input so that the value is still submitted with the form.

Here is the general idea:

<input type="password" name="signup_password" id="signup_password" class="input" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="signup_password_confirm" id="signup_password_confirm" value="" />

JS:

<script>
    $('#signup_password').keyup(function () {
        $('#signup_password_confirm').val(this.value);
    });
</script>
