I believe the wp_new_user_notification() function is what you’re looking for. It’s pluggable so you can define your own which will override the original definition:

function wp_new_user_notification( $user_id, $deprecated = null, $notify = '' ) {
    // Your own code here. Copy and paste the original function's content and then modify if you wish.
}

Do you have any plugins running aside from BuddyPress? If so, do you get the fatal error when activating BuddyPress (with the rest of the plugins deactivated)?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Using the buddypress() function avoids the need to declare a global. Try to avoid globals in your code if you can.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

I’m not aware of a function. Anyone else here know of one?

You should be able to avoid the global by doing this:

echo buddypress()->bp_nav['foo']['link'];

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Try buddypress()->foo->slug where foo is the name of your item. If this doesn’t work then “foo” may need to be a component.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

You can define the slug when you call the bp_core_new_nav_item() function. For example:

// Define slug in args array.
$args = array(
    'slug' => 'foo'
);
bp_core_new_nav_item( $args );

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Hey!

You can use the bp_get_activity_content_body hook to filter that function’s output.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

You did the right thing informing WP Time Capsule as this is likely to be related to that plugin. Hopefully they’ll be able to resolve the issue.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

You can add a condition inside your template. For example:

// Get $value here.

// Check if $value is Yes.
if ( 'Yes' === $value ) {
    // Output
}

Are you getting anything in your error log?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

A 508 error usually means your website is hitting a resource limit set by your hosting company. This could be either CPU usage or maybe RAM. Try contacting your host to see if the limit can be adjusted.

Crowdmentions will web notify members of a group if a @ keyword is used in the update’s text. However, emails aren’t sent for various reasons.

This isn’t ideal. Can you open a ticket on Trac explaining the issue?

Is it possible that users can choose to auto delete the chat…

BuddyPress doesn’t have chat functionality. Are you using a plugin?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

I think the $current_user object refers to the user currently logged in, not the user displayed? You should check

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

Is this a known issue or could this be specific to my theme?

It could be theme-related. Try using Twenty Fifteen to test. Once you’ve ruled out your theme, try deactivating plugins in case they are conflicting.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

Are you using a social media plugin to create accounts? That plugin will likely have a hook you can use. If not then you should be able to request one be added

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

It’s possible that either a plugin or your theme is conflicting. If the problem has just started happening, try checking what you’ve done recently (added new plugins, changed or upgraded your theme etc)

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

Can you provide a list of the plugins you’re using? Also which theme?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

You can easily configure BuddyPress to use root profiles which will mean URLs look like example.com/username. Note though, there’d be no @ character in the URL.

See the Advanced Configurations section here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Have a read of this article, it’ll help you make up your mind as to whether multisite is the best approach for you:

Don’t Use WordPress MultiSite

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

If you create an xProfile field called “Telephone” and add it to the base group, it’ll appear in the BuddyPress registration form.

Hope that helps?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

I believe you would have to unless you used multisite.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

No problem also hosting on GH. I’m actually doing that myself. My approach is GH for dev, wordpress.org for distribution. See here https://github.com/lsquo/octothorpe

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 9 months ago]

Yeah, many more users will find it. It’s also easier to install for new users. I just had a theme approved; the process took about 6 months due to the theme review team having such a huge backlog but we got there in the end

BuddyPress needs more themes, great to see you’re working hard on them!
