Hi @ouegy
The logic looks sound (although I haven’t tested). It seems to check if the displayed and logged-in members are friends. If they are friends it displays some text: Oops! You must be friends with…
I can’t see what the code does if the users aren’t friends because the code is cut off at

Have you tried BP Profile Search?
In reply to: Problem with Activity Stream PermalinksHi @j-rajnoha
This shouldn’t be happening. Which theme are you using? And what plugins do you have activated?
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress IdenticonsHey @bphelp @rosyteddy @peter-hamilton @danbp and @mcpeanut
In version 1.0.2, I’ve addressed the problem of the mystery-man displaying for existing users when the plugin is first activated. There’s now no need to wait until their next login to get their identicon. Identicons are available for display for everyone when needed.
In reply to: Activation IssueDo you still have the issue if you use Twenty Fifteen with no plugins activated (aside from BuddyPress)?
In reply to: Activation IssueHi @joeyaberle
Which theme are you using? Plugins activated?

Would the 20 + admin accounts you have set up would be better off as editors? If a particular user doesn’t need certain permissions then it’s a good idea to not award them. Usually this is done for both security reasons and to ensure there’s less chance of somebody breaking something inadvertently.
Hi @vitamincee
As an admin, you have access to your member’s private messages. That’s by design. Why would you want to restrict access to anything for an admin account?
In reply to: Activity bar accessibility for visually imparedHi @hipp
Sounds like some accessibility enhancements might be needed to the menu’s markup. I suggest you open a Trac ticket giving the core developers as much info about the problem as you can.
You can use your same login details on Trac.
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress Identicons@rosyteddy thanks for the idea. I’ve got my hands full at the moment but try opening a topic on the BuddyPress Ideas forum. There may be a developer looking to take up the challenge
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress IdenticonsReally cool to see the plugin in action and thanks for the review on wordpress.org! 🙂
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress Identicons@danbp all constructive feedback is very welcome. Feedback that highlights areas that are in need of improvement or bug reports help to improve the plugin in the long run 🙂
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress IdenticonsHi @bphelp
I must admit the FAQ is a little tucked-away out of sight. So i’ll take your advice and add something to the description tab which is in full view for everyone to see.
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress IdenticonsYou know now that i never read faq’s
Hehe 😀
A little secret of mine (neither do I very often 😉 )
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress IdenticonsHey @danbp
Thanks for the feedback. Before I answer your question, I just want to point you to question 4 in the plugin’s FAQ
Why is it that some members don’t have an identicon?
An identicon is used as a member’s avatar only if a profile photo hasn’t been uploaded. After activating the plugin, all new members will be allocated an identicon. Existing members will need to log in to get their identicon.The reason existing users have to log in to get their identicon is simple. Imagine if a site had 100,000 existing users. At the point the website owner activated the plugin, there’s no way 100,000 fresh identicons could be created. It’d crash their server immediately. I needed a way of staggering the creation of identicons for existing users. The approach I decided on was to create existing user’s identicons on their next login.
Now, to answer your questions 😀
– first time i activated BI, all users showed the mystery man. And plugin works, as i see the border.
Great! That’s expected.
– changed profile photo of admin: custom picture appeared.
– removed the picture: identicon appeared on the admin account.
-tried to do same thing with a dummy user. Nothing happened.The reason nothing happened for the dummy user is because you’re still logged in as admin. You will need to log in as the dummy user for his/her identicon to be created.
– create a new user from back office, with gmail address, identicon showed up
Great, that’s a new user created. Identicons are created for all new users so that’s expected.
– manually created a identicons folder in /uploads/
There’s no need to manually create folders. The plugin takes care of that for you automatically 🙂
– modified all dummy user mail address. Mystery man still showing.
– applied a custom picture to one, ok, then removed. Mystery man again.Again, if you’re doing this logged in as admin, then nothing will happen. The actual dummy user will need to log-in in order for their identicon to be created.
– tried global settings to “empty avatar”. Nada ! Reverted to default MM setting and still no identicon.
Global settings aren’t taken into account by design. If you want to disable identicons, simply disable the plugin. Want them back? Re-enable it 🙂
On a dev site, using this plugin would really help to avoid calling an external avatar service.
Would also be true for a prod site, where specially gravatars are mentionned to be optimized as they slow down page speed.That was one of the driving factors behind creating the plugin. The beauty of it (in my opinion) is there’s no need to make requests to an external service. Everything is stored locally which should improve page load speed.
Hope this info helps to clear up any confusion. If you need any more info then just give me a shout, and feel free to open a support ticket on the plugin’s forum if you find a bug.
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress IdenticonsThanks @peter-hamilton, looking forward to hearing what you find. I’m testing on BP 2.2.1, WP 4.1, no plugins activated (aside from BP) and Twenty Fifteen theme and things are working so it’s more than likely there’s a plugin conflict somewhere.
Hopefully we’ll be able to resolve the problem.

In reply to: Adding a Title to a User NameHi @outdoorsmen
I’m not aware of a plugin but try looking into user meta. It’s a way of storing information for each user. You could store the user’s title in this way. Helpful articles will be:

In reply to: move admin bar menuHi @matthias70
The theme used here is open source. See the Open Sourcing BuddyPress.org blog post for more info. Feel free to look at the source code after reading that to see how it’s done.
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress IdenticonsThanks @mcpeanut! It’s my first plugin so your feedback means a lot 😀
In reply to: Theme My Login & BuddyPressI wished it was my plugin! It’s fantastic hehe. But unfortunately for me, it’s all Jeffs. I have no affiliation to it whatsoever – aside from being a user of it.
Hope you manage to find a fix!
In reply to: Theme My Login & BuddyPressMy guess is Theme My Login is filtering the logout link so that /login/ is used in place of wp-login.php.
I noticed from the ‘bad’ URL that there’s no
_wpnonceparameter. That is possibly the reason for the ‘Are you sure you want to do that?’ message.WP nonces are important because they indicate intent. If the processing script can’t verify intent then it’ll likely bail and not complete the logout process.
In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress IdenticonsHi @rosyteddy
Thanks for your kind words about the plugin. I’m glad you find it useful! 😀
Whilst you’re right that you can change the CSS, I just wanted to point of that any changes you make to plugins/buddypress-identicons/css/style.css will be overwritten when you download plugin updates.
If you want to apply your own CSS, override the plugin’s styles by adding the following to your theme’s stylesheet. That way you won’t lose anything going forward.
.avatar { // Your CSS here. }In reply to: New plugin: BuddyPress IdenticonsThanks @bphelp, that’s awesome! Glad you enjoy 😀
