I am trying to find out about this activation page and activation key that it seems I don’t need but gets added automatically. How did this arise? Can anyone shed any more light please?

kenrichman replied to the forum topic wp and bp profile syncing–works only sporadically in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 1 month ago

I am disappointed that BuddyPress does not simply use and extend the WP profile fields. It complicates things.
And synching profiles with mailchimp plug-ins is now more complex – ok it doesn’t work – for me […]

kenrichman started the forum topic Friends with everyone by default? in the group Creating & Extending 13 years, 4 months ago

My users are a friendly lot. They would like to be friends with everyone, straightaway by default or, they would like perhaps not to bother with the friends functionality at all.
How can this be achieved?

Buddypress auto group join plug-in by Scott Hair is a help in getting members into the right groups initially, but I would still like to be able to skip the ‘become friends’ step before inviting people to my group(s).

kenrichman posted on the forum topic URL Encoding Abuse Attack Attempt in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

I have logged in as a different user from my Mac, tried Firefox and it was fine, too. Something very odd about my Firefox. Especially as I have upgraded to the latest version and had this problem with both versions. And disabled all plugins and extensions. I may have to give up on this, as […]

When setting up a site and enrolling people, can it be made easier to get them into the appropriate groups? As a group owner I want to be able to look down the list of members and invite them to become members of my group without first having to send a friendship request and have […]

Hi! @mercime Sorry for the delay in getting back. Problem is ONLY with Firefox. And only with my ‘live’ site not my development site. Here is the development site: http://kenrichman.com/harc/ Here is the live site: http://www.harc-network.org Firefox cannot load the front page. If you have Firefox on a mac could you try it? If you get […]

Something within BuddyPress is triggering this response from the mod_security server firewall – resulting in IP addresses getting blocked.

Seems worse when using Firefox – bizarre!

Anyone else had this problem?

@embergermedia – just wondering if you’ve had a chance to look into this?
Fortunately my site won’t be using the activity stream – yet!

@aces GENIUS!!

thank you . . .

kenrichman started the forum topic Google Translate in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 7 months ago

I would dearly love to be able to add Google translate to my BuddyPress site, I have tried various plug-ins in the sidebar but they will not allow me to translate every page – I get logged out all the time. I think Google Translate is ok with a normal WordPress site but not with […]

kenrichman posted on the forum topic Changing Group tab display defaults in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 7 months ago

@Marcus Thanks very much for this – haven’t tried it yet but am about to. But what I think is really needed is simply the option for the group admin to choose the default tab – as part of the group settings. I wil have several groups that will need different defaults. Can your code accommodate […]

I would like to know also – it sounds easy, but is it?

kenrichman posted on the forum topic Hidden group posts visible to all in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

@hnla – re: your suggestion – displaying favourite only to logged in user if also displayed user – I agree this would be a good fix, as I don’t really want favourites to be visible to all. If you can help with the code to achieve this I’d be grateful as the site is about to […]

kenrichman posted on the forum topic Extending Group Documents plugin in the group Creating & Extending: 13 years, 8 months ago

Hello! I have also been asked for this type of feature – people want a site-wide library. So I have implemented the library as a public group. Well, it works! But they would also love to be able to add details about each document such as author, publisher and so on as separate fields. I […]

kenrichman posted on the forum topic Adding text descriptions to sign-up form in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

Great – that worked. I added:
Lowercase letters and numbers, no spaces, no punctuation.

However I’d still like to put this string in its proper place along with the other input field descriptions. Can anyone advise where would that be? Where are they stored?

kenrichman posted on the forum topic Adding text descriptions to sign-up form in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

Terriffic – I’ll give that a go.

Thank you.

kenrichman started the forum topic Adding text descriptions to sign-up form in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

I want to add a text description under Username on the sign up form to let people know they can’t use upper case etc.

I think this is written out by a call to bp_the_profile_field_description in register.php but where does the function get the text descriptions from?

Thank you in advance. . .
