We have notifications set up where a post author will get notified if someone replies to their post.

However, if someone replies to a comment within a post, is it possible for the author of the comment that’s being replied to, to get an email notification also?

Thanks,

Does BuddyPress encrypt data by default? I.e. is all BuddyPress related data encrypted at rest.

Thanks,

Is it possible to disable HTML editor/HTML within forum posts? It is causing a lot of formatting issues for our users and we just need plain text really.

Thanks
Jake

I never did find the perfect solution unfortunately. In the end BuddyPress Simple Events proved to be the best solution for me. It’s clean, simple and straight forward to use. I found the others were quite bloated in feature sets and weren’t the best from a user experience perspective.…[Read more]

We’ve been struggling with an issue on our site now for a while.

When users are uploading profile pictures on mobile, they appear way too big in the cropping page and overrun the page to the point where you can barely see the full image.

We have implemented some css that zooms out the container which helps, but causes weird behaviours when…[Read more]

I came across this during some research also, but it didn’t seem to have an effect. The quality is still shrinking right down.

However, that still doesn’t solve the issue. On uploading the images are still being massively compressed. For example a 1.6mb image is going to roughly 155KB. Any ideas?

Thanks

It seems that BuddyPress is compressing profile pictures on upload. We need quite high quality pictures for the design of our site. Is there a way I can change this?

Thanks

Does anyone know of any tools to do this?

So far we have tested:

– Events Manager
– The Event Calendar
– BuddyPress Simple Events

Just wondering if anyone knows of any other solutions. Thanks!

Elsewhere in the site we have a user query, that pulls in users of a certain role. However, we need to filter these users again by those who have a certain value in the dropdown field. Is there a way to add this to to the WP_User_Query?
