Mainly the header and footer links/text and the ‘tutorials’ dropdown. The bit where it says “Over a number of videos I will take you through the basics of setting up a solid WordPress theme with…” is big enough I think so perhaps make everything that size.

Hi @marcella1981

I really like how you’re doing subtle hover effects throughout, it makes for a rich feeling when navigating around. I also like the flat design style you’ve chosen.

One thing I struggled to read certain text because it was a bit small. Perhaps make the smallest text 10% bigger by default?

Overall the theme is very unique looking, I’ve not seen a theme that looks like this. Great job so far!

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

That’s supposed to be my profile – /%D9%85%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%AF%D9%89-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B6%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86/KarifAmmarSabbagh/

This link isn’t right. It looks like the URL encoding has gone haywire somewhere along the line.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Do you know how to get rid of it?

Try using a different theme.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Is BuddyPress really works?

It sure does 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Also,

I tried your code and it does not work for password strength, when users try to change their password on the front-end.

That’s because of the hook you’re using. It will work for the sign up step only. For the change password form, you’ll need a different hook. Take a look through the BP code base to find the one you need.

Hi @dkjensen

I’m pretty sure the reg form uses the POST method so the submitted values should be available as an associative array. You should be able to access them like this:

$_POST['name']

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Good question! I know pretty permalinks are recommended, but am not sure if they are mandatory. Perhaps @danbp or @shanebp have had some experience with this? I’ve only ever used pretty (i.e. post name).

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Also, well done for removing utf8_decode(). Not sure why that slipped in. I must have been having a bad day 🙁

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

My apologies, I meant $_POST['signup_password']. I copied $_POST['signup_username'] from the bp_core_screen_signup() function. My intention was to grab $_POST['signup_password'].

Thanks for spotting my mistake. I have edited my code above to use signup_password.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

Isn’t that based on the availability of the user name and not on the password strength.

I’m not sure what you mean by “based on the availability of the user name”. But, in order to test for password strength, you need to ‘validate’ what the user has input. In this case, $_POST['signup_password'] will hold what the user has input when asked to choose a username.

I didn’t do this part for you in my code snippet, but you could do stuff like this:

if ( strlen( utf8_decode( $_POST['signup_password'] ) ) < 8 ) {
    // The username is less than 8 characters in length so do something appropriate
} else {
    // The username is 8 or more characters
}

This is how you validate. You could add more conditions such as ‘must contain a number’ or ‘must begin with a letter’ etc.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

You’ll need to add some custom validation for this using the bp_signup_validate hook.

function my_validation() {
    // $_POST['signup_password'] is available here to validate
}
add_action( 'bp_signup_validate', 'my_validation' );

Hi @vignesh-m

The bbPress forum will be the best place to ask:

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Hi @micromart

Check out bp_parse_args(). That’ll be the proper way to do it.

Hey @irenehofer

I’ve not seen a plugin that can do specifically what you need, but try searching the WordPress Plugin Directory for something similar and then perhaps try modifying it to your needs.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Try placing this in your member’s profile template:

<a href="<?php bp_send_private_message_link(); ?>" title="Private Message">Private Message</a>

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Oops, I just noticed I supplied you with an add friend button; nothing to do with private messages, so sorry about that. Let me take a look to see if I can find something.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Closing as a [duplicate]

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Hi @akosichen

If you’re in the members loop, you can use this to output a button: bp_member_add_friend_button()

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

You’d need to use JavaScript for this. Something like “on file select, trigger submit button click”

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Hi @gsupriya

Check out this article:

bp_core_new_nav_item()

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Hi @expbountyhunter

Do you mean the ‘Home’ item in your navigation? The rest of the text on that page already seems to be white.

Try adding this to your theme’s style.css document:

.header .header-inner .nav ul li.current_page_item a {
    color: #fff;
}

Try looking at BuddyPress Docs

Hi @pssawhney

Site notices and private messages are separate; so there’s no need to populate every member’s inbox.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Hey @mcpeanut!

The pandemonium is rarely related to WordPress core or BuddyPress core (the core devs usually issue a fix before we even know there’s a problem). So it’s a great idea to keep up to date as you’ve already mentioned.

The tricky part arrives when we look at plugins. Whilst WordPress does everything it can to make plugin developers aware of security issues, fixes are ultimately down to the plugin author. It’s always a good idea to use plugins that are activity maintained and supported. The same could be said for themes actually.
