Technically you have to be a user so guest isn’t really a user in the sense of unique identity. You’d need to somehow link what was said to the person. Now, perhaps you could create levels of users and have one that just can post with a minimal sign up form?
Are you using a custom theme? I say this as when the cropper breaks it’s usually due to a scripting clash between theme and / or plugins. Best advice if you can would be to try the default theme without plugins just to see if works then. You could also check in your console if you have any JavaScript or similar errors.
Where in profile are you adding this? If it’s a profile field like an about me it doesn’t translated html so won’t work. But are you adding 🙂 or the code to there?
THe slow is probably due to plugins and other scripting that the mobile devices have to contact services or ‘dial home’ to use.
Facebook has an app that’s a different approach and if you want to take that you don’t want to be considering a theme at all you’d be looking at a different format.
What you could do is look at conditional loading ie; only show things if not on a mobile. You can do this easily and simply using media queries or more advanced and potentially more issues by using detectors.
It’s a little hard to narrow things down without knowing what theme and other things you have on your site. If you can’t provide a link my suggestion would be to if you can put on the default theme and remove as many (all if can) plugins aside from BuddyPress. Then see if it happens and build things back up. Alternatively, if you can provide a link it may help in at least determining if you have any scripting errors going on.
I’d like to first find out if possible what you mean by ‘mobile site’ do you mean your site when viewed on a mobile device (responsive) or are you creating a theme just for mobile sites? I’d only suggest the later you see if you want to do something different/additional from the responsiveness which your theme gets just by being the default theme.
Just to be clear but have you also tried the default BuddyPress theme (one that comes with it) to see if you get errors still with BuddyPress? I say this as a good stick to measure against as updated to the latest version.
My apologies I see you’ve linked in your post just not directly. From looking you need to change background-image to background and / or set a no-repeat as that’s what is happening as the area gets taller the image is repeating. The CSS is designed to work on a repeatable image not a logo hence when it’s smaller the container increases in size.
It looks like some scripting error my suggestion would be to first (if you can) try the default theme with your plugins just to see if works. Failing that (if you can) try removing plugins to see if those work. My thinking is it’s a plugin causing a partial page load and those visual issues.
If you want linking into BuddyPress you have several options ranging from the PollDaddy (not so much integration out of the box) through to BuddyPress links and other plugins. It all depends on ‘what’ you want the voting / polling to be linked to and how you want it to work really.
Blank pages usually are an error of some form. First up, you can if possible look in your error logs. Next up, I’d double check the theme you’re using doesn’t already support BuddyPress – sometimes you can get an error if using the template pack and the theme supports BuddyPress without it (most BuddyPress themes do).
Where is: dp_get_queried_user_id? I see you’re calling it but what does it contain? Can you perhaps do an echo to see if you’re indeed showing the userid?
Ah, right that’s a plugin – BP album would put them not in a central point. That’s the bit I was saying if you are using a plugin it would change. I’m not sure of the settings but perhaps BP album has one to use the ‘media gallery’? It may also be as it’s setting up ‘personal’ galleries. You’d not be able to see another users.
