Hi all,

I have tried the following in BP core / template.php

add_filter( ‘bp_get_total_member_count’, ‘bp_core_number_format’ );

This simply provides a minus 1 figure rather than the true count, so not really what i’m looking for, I assume the minus 1 being returned is for the admin.

Anyone had chance too look at this yet?

This has now been corrected I reinstalled buddypress and retested all okay!

can anyone help with this? I have tried deactivating some recent plugins but still no luck, I have two pending friendship requests showing in the top right menus, but when I click on them, it says there are no new requests, despite me sending two from two bogus accounts ive set up for testing??

Thanks

Thank you I will look at that, you’ve been a great help thanks..

hmmmm!! Ive deleted the additional fields I added and change first name to full name, I then ran a bogus registration, and its given them a username as it should and then gave them a full name as inserted during the registration process, so fingers crossed it appears to have worked!

Now my next big dilemma is can I change those have already registered, so that their profiles read correctly ?? is there a way that you know of??

Thanks

Hi
“The NAME field in BuddyPress is intended to receive first and last name and replace the two original fields (first name, last name) coming with WordPress.”

Does this mean that If I remove the first name and last name fields from ‘profile fields’ then that should fix the issue?

Thanks

hmmmmm I like to keep buddy press up to date 🙁 and my scripting skills are rather poor! I would have thought that there should be some validation already built in, why have the field as required otherwise?

During registration they enter their account details which consists of a username,email addy, password and confirm password, then they create their profile details on the right of the page, which Ive added fields for first name , last name, gender, DOB etc, and Ive selected that the first name and last name are required fields, so surely if they fail to enter data the form shouldn’t submit??

or am I missing something here 🙁

[@johnhutchy2014 Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

That doesn’t make sense if its a required field, meaning that data must be entered before the form can be submitted then it shouldn’t accept blank spaces?

And does this mean that I would have to add additional coding to the script for the validation? If so I’m a little lost here too 🙁

Thanks for your guidance.
